However no kaiju have been seen in the 30 years since, leading to a Japan unprepared for Zedus.

Still there aren't any human antagonists, the governmental body responsible for the dark lab studying monsters is actually trying to help Toto, and all the protagonists live with better lives at the end.



* PlotHole: At the end of the movie, during the final fight with Zedus, Toto being able to fly and shoot fireballs is treated as a big deal, as though he has finally become a fully-grown Gamera... Except that he was able to do both of those things as a tiny little pet turtle at the start of the movie.

The plot begins in the 1970's, with Gamera sacrificing himself to save a village from a swarm of Gyaos. The plot then moves forward about thirty years or so and shifts focus onto a young boy named Toru as he finds and raises a small turtle named Toto, who is actually a baby Gamera. Meanwhile, a giant monster named Zedus appears and begins eating people, and Toto grows ever larger and stronger. Eventually, the two monsters fight, but Toto is badly injured and Zedus is only temporarily deterred. In the end, though, Toto (now a fully grown Gamera) engages Zedus in another battle and emerges victorious.
