WMG / GAMERA -Rebirth-

Most of the roster will consist of updated Showa Gamera kaiju.. but the Final Boss may either be a Heisei kaiju, or a brand new one

• We have Gyaos and Jiger, who both originated from Showa movies. That can leave room for other Showa kaiju to take up the remaining spots; which can leave Barugon, Zigra, Viras and Guiron all on the table. That said, the final enemy Gamera faces will likely need to be somebody much more powerful than them, which could easily be filled by the likes of either Legion or Iris. Then again, there's nothing stopping Kadokawa from making a brand new monster for Gamera to face. (or maybe they can just revamp that tentacle monster from the 2015 short film?)
  • Garisharp is also a possibility, though her movie was cancelled she did appear in the official Heisei-era manga.
  • Potentially Namagon from the cancelled Gamera 3D might make an appearance.
  • All jossed, the final monster is Viras.
  • Granted, The final shot of the trailer shows the human cast looking at the Moon, followed by a shot of the moon’s surface looking down to Earth. Maybe there's some secret sixth entity at play?

Gamera's motivation to fight

• Either he has the same backstory and reasoning he did in the Heisei era, or there might be something else at play.
  • Or perhaps he has a very tragic background that fuels his drive to face the other monsters.

The novelization will include a Take That! in the same way Godzilla: Monster Apocalypse did towards Gamera.

• Same director, why not? Maybe they find a dead, radioactive Zedus and imply Gyaos killed it.
  • Godzilla: Battle Line has given us a Gamera crossover, and it depicts him fighting Godzilla Earth himself. So we did get something like that

The portrayal and abilities the monsters will have

• We have Gyaos, Jiger, and Zigra confirmed. But what is a Gamera monster without a bunch of weird Combo Platter Powers? While their origins haven't been confirmed, we can speculate on what kind of powers they might bring out
  • Gyaos having it's ability to grow bigger doesn't sound bad, and the sonic ray is a must. Considering it will come in swarms according to the promotional poster, it might also have it's rapid reproduction
    • Gyaos does have it's ability to grow larger, the sonic ray, and an extendable tongue. The rapid repo
  • Jiger has a visible third eye, so they might pull off the heat ray. There also appears to be a tail spike, so they might pull something similar to the egg implantation. I do however fail to see how she'd shoot spikes out of her tusks, due to them being too curved to shoot straight. Unless she pulls something with the spikes on her back, which would be interesting
    • Jiger suffers heavily from Adaptational Wimp, with only a heat-resistant mucus and a stabbing tail being in her power.
  • Zigra is hard to narrow down due to having multiple rays and slicing fins, but I feel that they'll only keep the latter. He does seem to have feet from what we've seen, so he might keep his land form.
    • Zigra has retained his land form, but his slicing fins have been replaced with an extendable stinger tail. He also has the ability to create a Supercavitation and can fire off plasma blasts.
  • Guiron will, according to the publicity blurb, have a high-vibration blade and the ability to move underground. If he is to keep the ninja stars, it would be interesting for him to be able to fire them from other parts of his body.
    • Considering there's a shot with Gamera having a small blade lodged in his face in the second trailer, it seems the ninja stars are back.

Gamera’s an alien in this series

• The final shot of the second trailer (the human cast looking up at the moon, followed by a shot from the moon’s surface looking down to Earth) foreshadows this. In this series, our beloved turtle, like the majority of his Rogues Gallery, will be extraterrestrial in origin- a wandering fighter who protects planets from the ravages of more aggressive and sadistic kaiju.
  • Gives “Guardian of the Universe” a new meaning as well.
  • Jossed.

Gamera will use his rotating disk attack to kill Viras

• None of the promotional material has shown him doing this, so him pulling out his arguably most iconic technique in the final fight would be a neat finisher
  • Zig-Zagged. He does use it as a weapon, but to kill Guiron, not Viras.

The Eustace Foundation is similar to the Memory Police.

• Specifically, they've known about Gamera's existence and how he fights other monsters for a long time, and have gone to great lengths to cover up his battles from the public for years on end. This includes memory wiping of course.
  • Jossed. While they are aware of Gamera's existence, they're more akin to SEELE than the Memory Police

Gamera will become Dented Iron as the series goes on

• The official summary claims that Gamera will receive severe wounds and fight on anyways. This may play into why Viras is giving him so much trouble: He barely has enough time to rest or heal between fights.

Gamera will die at the end

• Why not? Maybe all his wounds will be too much for him to handle at the end.
  • Zig-Zagged. He dies, but more out of expending all of his energy using his ultimate attack. Thankfully he reincarnates as a baby

Viras is such a problem because he's holding the children hostage in some capacity

• Therefore, Gamera holds back to not hurt the kids. Humanity will somehow free them, which leads into Gamera unleashing a Curb-Stomp Battle on Viras.
  • Zig-zagged. While Gamera does go berserk on Viras, it's more due to how Viras was indirectly responsible for the presumed death of Joe

The other monsters were just like Gamera originally, but the Foundation corrupted them

• Originally, they were just passive, but the Foundation force-fed them humans, transforming them from majestic beasts into soulless eating machines.

Potential Season 2 plotlines

• Gamera is forced back into the fray when more monsters attack, albeit not fully grown.
• A Time Skip to the present day
• The human villain being a Musk-style "Techbro"
• Barugon shows up. It eats Oryllium. The stuff is in everyone's pockets now. Put the two and two together.
• More explanation as to Gamera's origins.

There's a lot about Gamera that even the Hemueden didn't know

• Specifically, he's actually a guardian spirit placed into a body constructed by the Hemueden, with the "Reprogramming" that the traitor performed upon him just being a a way of helping him reassert control over himself.

Mana exists in this continuity

• Oryllium is actually a man-made version of Mana. Gamera's beam at the end of the first season wasn't just him using up all his power, it was also him purging himself of the Oryllium energies flowing through him that linked him to the Foundation. Meaning that his "Reborn" state will draw upon Mana instead of Oryllium.

Tazaki is an alien

• The children often bring up how a UFO is what brought them together. Tazaki also gave them the advanced communicators, which are seemingly able to recieve a message from space, judging by the stinger. Tazaki also really wants to go to space and has the knowhow to create modern cellphones in the late Eighties. He may be an infiltrator connected to whoever now has Joe.
  • Specifically, he's a Parian.

Possible returning Kaiju.

• Marugarappa
• Barugon
• Doublius
• Zedus
• Garansharp
• Iris
