History Characters / Gamera

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: How Guiron dismembers the Space Gyaos. Its head even lives a few seconds longer beyond decapitation!

* NaughtyTentacles: Gets a little frisky with Ayana at one point.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Her entire story. Her movie was being planned when Daei fell into bankruptcy. One of her powers was a Sonic Rattler.

!Kusanagi Asagi

!Inspector Oosako

!Nagamine Mayumi

!Honami Midori

!Hirasaka Ayana

* ImAHumanitarian: In the Showa era, Gyaos ate humans and livestock for their blood. In the Heisei era, he just likes munching on them.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Odd as it may sound, Gamera is to arch-rival {{Godzilla}} as SpiderMan is to {{Superman}}; yes, he's powerful, but not ''all'' powerful, and his enemies are usually stronger. This forces him to fight with smarts as much as claws, and to learn from his mistakes (Usually this comes after he's on the losing end of a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown brutal ass-kicking]] by the MonsterOfTheWeek).

* UnderdogAlwaysWins: Unlike [[ImplacableMan Implacable]] [[TheJuggernaut Juggernaut]] {{Godzilla}}, Gamera is not all-powerful, and is in fact quite vulnerable for a Kaiju -- crucially, moreso than most of his RoguesGallery. This forces him to fight with his wits.

There aren't as many {{Kaiju}} in this series of films as Franchise/{{Godzilla}}, but they are [[OurMonstersAreWeird certainty memorable]], so let's learn about them. The main page is [[{{Gamera}} here.]]

* {{Badass}}: The Heisei Era version especially, to the point of where people feel he actually rivals {{Godzilla}}.
