Now that is what I call a Kaiju showdown!
  • Colonel Watarase fights a lone Symbiotic Legion uisng only a radio/walkie talkie and his service pistol. Guess who wins?
  • Gamera has several:
    • His midair transformation from spinning shell to flying with two "wings" as he approaches Sapporo.
    • His destroying the first Legion Flower at Sapporo.
    • His third fight against Legion, where he flies towards the battlefield and then transitions to skidding on the ground while shooting fireballs at her.
    • His Mana Cannon, although this would also turn into a Cerebus Retcon in the next movie.
    • Also ripping apart Legion's horn and knocks her out for a few moments.
  • Even Legion gets one when she absorbs Gamera's fireballs and then dissipating the explosions of the JSDF's missiles with her powers.
    • Legion's energy whip attack leaves Gamera at her mercy if not for the mana cannon.
  • Legion's design is just incredible in general, probably the most amazing new Kaiju the genre had seen since Biollante. The effects that bring it to life are frankly jaw-dropping.
