!! This comic provides examples of:
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Viras is apparently no longer an alien menace, but a genetically engineered beast created by Dr. Karbone.
** However, this trope is [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in that Viras ''is'' in fact an alien that Karbone was nurturing]].
* BigBad: Viras.
** BigBadWannabe: Greta Karbone
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Greta Karbone is psychically influenced by Viras into becoming its pawn]].
** [[spoiler:After Karbone obtains Asagi's amulet, Gamera falls under Viras' control as well]].
* BulletproofHumanShield: Or rather, [[spoiler:Bulletproof ''Kaiju'' shield. After gaining control of Gamera using the amulet, Viras and Karbone control Gamera into being this]].
* ChekhovsVolcano: [[spoiler:Gamera disposes of Zigra by dumping him into one]].
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:When Gusano wrests the amulet away from her, Greta Karbone jumps off the Eiffel Tower after it]].
* TheDragon: Gusano is this to Greta Karbone - the fact that he has a ([[spoiler:unrequited]]) crush on her helps.
* EcoTerrorist: Nature Über Alles - the name says it all.
* ForegoneConclusion: At the end of the comic, [[spoiler:Lutz picks up the amulet and wonders if he should give it back to Asagi or keep it for himself. Since Asagi still has the amulet in ''Film/Gamera2AdventOfLegion'', it's evident that he picked the former]].
* GoodHairEvilHair: [[spoiler:As Viras' control over Dr. Karbone intensifies, Karbone starts doing her hair in a way that makes it look more Viras' tentacles]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Gusano in Issue #4, to try and break Karbone free of Viras' psychic control. Unfortunately, RedemptionEqualsDeath]]...
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Gusano. See RedemptionEqualsDeath.]]
* HotScientist: Mayumi Nagamine and Greta Karbone.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Viras, courtesy of Gamera slamming it onto Notre Dame's steeple]].
* {{Kaiju}}: But of course!
* TheKidWithTheRemoteControl: Asagi is this to Gamera. Lutz disapproves of this trope, so he takes the amulet himself after Asagi is injured.
* LoveMartyr: Gusano's crush on Karbone makes him willing to take a lot of punishment for her [[spoiler:up until his HeelFaceTurn]].
* MacGuffin: Asagi's amulet, [[spoiler:which Viras and Karbone use to control Gamera]] late in the miniseries.
* MadScientist: Greta Karbone makes no pretence that she isn't one.
* MonumentalDamage: [[spoiler:Gamera puts an end to Viras by impaling it on Notre Dame's steeple]].
* MotherlyScientist: Dr. Karbone has this attitude towards Viras. The fact that she literally gave it her brain fluid helps.
** However, [[spoiler:it could just be Viras' psychic influence over her talking]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Asagi gives a literal example of this to Lutz after he breaks her amulet. Thankfully, ItWasAllADream:
-->"The amulet is ruined. And so, Gamera has perished as well. You have destroyed the last hope. You have doomed the human race. Way to go, Mr. Klutz."
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Lutz and Mayumi wind up falling over one another in a compromising position and wind up [[spoiler:teleported into an alien spacecraft]], their captor gets the wrong idea.
-->'''[[spoiler:Freena]]:''' "You two suckin' face when I sparkled ya or what? Uh, no need to tell me, I guess."
* OnlyThePureOfHeart: Lutz wonders if this trope is in effect when he tries to call Gamera using Asagi's amulet. He notes that "Luckily, Gamera showed up anyway."
* PutOnABus: Outside of a dream sequence, Asagi doesn't appear at all after the beginning of the second issue, with the remainder of the action focusing on Lutz and Mayumi.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:After Karbone jumps off the Eiffel Tower after the amulet after Gusano wrangles it from her grip, Gusano, guilty over causing his beloved's death, jumps after her, then after surviving by falling onto Freena's crashing ship, he dies throwing its power source at Gamera to give him the fire needed to take down Viras.]].
