Trivia[]

  • The Gamera in this manga was depicted to be the same Gamera who appeared in Gamera: Super Monster. Gamera was assumed to have died in the film, but this manga shows that Gamera was revived by descendants of Atlanteans via Atlantean technology (artificial sun based on plasma energy) and reincarnated into the new Gamera identical to the Heisei Gamera. This 'new' Gamera was sent back to the past with a time machine to eradicate evil monsters and to monitor humanity, so the history of humanity was changed to a better one.
    • Interestingly, this is one of two pieces of media in the Gamera franchise released in 1995 that showed an alternate ending to Gamera: Super Monster. The other is the Bandai Playdia game Gamera: The Time Adventure - which showed the Time Patrol aiding Gamera in destroying Spaceship Zanon during his kamikaze attack, thus allowing Gamera to survive the events of the film.
  • This manga was illustrated by Hurricane Ryu Hariken, a suit actor for many Toho monsters during the Heisei series.
  • This manga features several new monsters based on unmade Gamera monsters and designs, including Marukobukarappa, and Garasharp.
  • The manga includes a giant-sized version of the Pairans; benevolent starfish-shaped aliens, from the 1956 Daiei film Warning from Space.
  • Despite its name, Powered Gyaos is actually a multi-headed, Chimera-like combination of all of Gamera's foes, from the original Showa era film series.
