Trivia / DEATH BATTLE! S02E10 - Godzilla VS Gamera

• This is the first battle on the Official DEATH BATTLE Fan Blog's list of fights they wanted to see that was turned into a battle. It was #6
• Godzilla and Gamera will be the largest and heaviest combatants yet. Godzilla's size is different depending on the canon and film, but it is between 50 to 108 meters and 20,000 to 60,000 tons. Gamera has been between 60 to 80 meters and 8,000 to 10,000 tons.
  • Godzilla's smallest depiction is still 20,000 tons, twice as heavy as Gamera.
• Godzilla's fight was announced in Fulgore vs Sector, which aired 2 days after the release of the film Godzilla.
• This is one of the oldest and most iconic rivalries so far; they are both very famous, and fans have been debating the outcome of a fight between them for decades.
• Godzilla comics were once owned by Marvel, which allowed Godzilla to fight The Avengers and the Fantastic 4. Godzilla was strong enough to easily survive the heroes' attacks and even overpowered previous Death BATTLE! combatant Thor.
• Ben's hard drive crashed while rendering Gamera's preview, as such, Gamera's preview was wiped entirely, and the overall episode was hastily replaced with a powerpoint presentation for its debut for SGC 2014.
• Godzilla is the oldest character from a 'live-action' franchise. At the time of this episode's release Godzilla was 60 years old, debuting in 1954. Godzilla's animated appearances were ignored and his comic and videogame appearances were barely mentioned.
• Gamera is the first 'turtle' character on Death Battle to lose to a non-turtle character.
• Godzilla: Final Wars has a scene where a kid playing with Godzilla action figures. The kid picks up a turtle, calls it a 'loser' and throws it into a lit fireplace. Fans considered it an obvious insult towards Gamera (it's also a jab at the popular Pokemon franchise since the toy in question was actually Squirtle), especially since all the other monsters the kid owned were clearly Toho owned.
