Gamera [Female!]

Gamera is a fearless and heroic monster, who protects Boco and his friends no matter her pain. She is shown to be willing to both sustain heavy injuries and sacrifice herself for the saftey of the children. She is a very brutal and fierce combatant, utilizing her abilities and overall physical strength to overpower, throw, dismember, and maim his opponents. Gamera is also very intelligent, discerning exactly where the Foundation's Moon base was located, as well as that it was the root of the kaiju plaguing humanity and needed to be destroyed.

100,000 years prior to the main events of GAMERA -Rebirth- (set in 1989), Gamera was one of 25 different kaiju created by an ancient civilization to assist in the purification of mankind. Gamera was developed from the same prototype as Guiron, but differs from he and the other kaiju in that she has a humanoid skeleton, has green eyes and blood instead of purple, and lacks extendable body parts. Gamera ultimately disobeyed her mission, fighting against the other kaiju to protect humanity.[4]

In the second half of Rebirth's novelization, Novel: GAMERA -Rebirth- (Part 2), it is established that Muneatsu Sasaki once had a close encounter with Gamera in his childhood.[1]

Gamera's appearance is heavily reminiscent of the design from the 2015 short film GAMERA, specifically in the monster's posture, carapace shape, and head shape.

However, this Gamera is a dark greenish-blue in color, with bright blue-green accents on his spiked plastron. He has large, bright green eyes and a pointed snout, a row of spines down the middle of his head, a longer tail with small spikes on its top, as well as large hands and black claws. He has a sharp tusk on either side of his mouth sticking straight upwards among his pointed teeth, and his plastron is made up of smooth plates in contrast to the jagged plates covering his carapace. His arms and legs are covered in armor plating, similar to Avant Gamera and the 2015 incarnation. Similar to the Heisei incarnation of the character, this Gamera's front limbs transform into flipper-like wings when flying as well as when swimming, with bright blue jets of flame blasting out from the leg holes of his shell and the backs of his flippers. When Gamera's genetic code was altered with RNA viruses and returned to its original state, his skin turned black and his eyes changed to a red-orange color.

The baby Gamera appears similar to his adult counterpart, with some resemblance to Toto. He is a lighter green than the adult Gamera, with white claws instead of black, stubby tusks, a sharper beak, no teeth, and three rows of small bumps on top of his head.

Jets Gamera is capable of flight at supersonic speeds, seeming to propel himself using plasma jets from his limbs.[3][13] Gamera's flight speed reaches Mach 3 at altitudes of 10,000 meters, Mach 6 at 30,000 meters, and 20 kilometers per second when outside of Earth's atmosphere.[4] He was able to outmaneuver several missiles from a naval fleet in the air and utilized his jets underwater to match Zigra's swimming speed and dodge the majority of his liquid shots. He can use his jets to create a large fire boost, similar to that of a space shuttle.

Magma Blaster After charging up with electricity, Gamera is able to expel a "plasma fireball" called Magma Blaster (火焔弾 kaendan, lit. "flame bullet") from his mouth.[14] Gamera tends to use these as a finishing move, and they are powerful enough to create large explosions, incinerate and vaporize whole body parts of kaiju, and even kill opponents with a single direct hit. He can also rapid-fire these fireballs, though to less devastating effect.

GAMERA -Rebirth-'s official art book, GAMERA -Rebirth- Official Setting Materials Collection, describes these fireballs as being composed of a viscous, magma-like, rotating core which is 5 meters or more in diameter and 6,000 degrees in surface temperature, covered with plasma energy and pulsating electricity. It is further stated to be able to penetrate the energy shields of other kaiju, and even kill small kaiju without direct contact from its extreme heat and electricity alone.

Electromagnetic Shockwave When charging up the electricity on his chest, Gamera can discharge it in an Electromagnetic Shockwave (電磁衝撃波 Denji Shōgekiha).[15] He used this to destroy oncoming missiles, disorient Zigra, and damage S-Gyaos.

Physical abilities Gamera is a capable hand-to-hand combatant, using his claws to slash and maim opponents. He was strong enough to lift and toss Jiger, Gyaos, and Viras around repeatedly. Despite his size, Gamera is also quite agile, being very fast in both water and in the sky, and even being able to leap at his enemies.

Vanishing Fist Gamera is able to direct the energy used for his fireballs into his hand, igniting it into a Vanishing Fist (燼滅手 Jinmetsushu, lit. "scorching hand").[16][17] He used this against Jiger to penetrate her energy shield and heat-resistant mucus, burning her from the inside out.[17] In the first half of GAMERA -Rebirth-'s novelization, Gamera initially produced bolts of electricity from his chest which traveled to his arm, producing a large amount of steam.[17] In the second half, Gamera also used this attack against S-Gyaos, but it withstood it with its enhanced regeneration.[1]

Plasma Roller By retracting all his limbs into his shell and extending the shell's serrated edges, Gamera can perform a Plasma Roller (火焔旋撃 Kaen Sengeki, lit. "flame spin attack"), using his jets to spin and become a giant buzzsaw while emitting pulsating electricity to penetrate kaiju's energy shields.[18][4] This was Gamera's most effective killing tactic, instantly cutting Guiron in half.

Plasma Sphere Gamera can create a barrier, called a Plasma Sphere (火焔烈球 Kaen Rekkyū), by retracting his limbs into his shell and using his jets to spin around at Mach speed. This shield was able to reflect multiple shots from S-Gyaos's Ultrasonic Scalpel back at it, killing it.

Gravitational control While in space, Gamera demonstrated the ability to control gravity and redirect Viras' charged heavy particle beam.

Charged Heavy Particle Cannon As a last-ditch attack Gamera, similar to Viras, is able to fire a plasma-based Charged Heavy Particle Cannon (荷電重粒子砲 Kaden Jūryūshihō) from his mouth, capable of reaching into space and blasting a hole through the Moon. However, this comes at the cost of his life, as his body disintegrates after using it.

In the second half of the novelization, this attack gained the name Moon Buster after its use on the Moon.

Reincarnation Gamera, upon dying after using the Charged Heavy Particle Cannon, leaves behind an egg which hatches into a new Gamera.

Energy shield Like other kaiju, Gamera's skin is coated with a thin layer of energy which protects him against some physical damage.[21]

Regeneration Like previous incarnations, Gamera possesses a healing factor. Its capabilities range from healing small wounds to regrowing entire organs, such as his left eye after it was impaled by one of Guiron's Scale Shot blades. However, the full extent of his healing factor isn't defined, as he was unable to regenerate his severed arm. How Gamera can heal wounds is unknown, though orylium is shown to assist with his regeneration.

Telepathy Gamera can "contact" humans via consciousness and can interfere with "contacts" by other kaiju, and is also capable of showing memories of other humans in the past. The chosen contact child naturally knows Gamera's name, and his name somehow makes others feel convinced that it is correct. The name also somehow gives hope to the chosen child. The chosen child also shares Gamera’s pain to an extent, as demonstrated when Boco cried out in pain and held his arm when Guiron severed Gamera’s arm. The contacted child and other children who also had a close encounter with Gamera start to grow an ability to sense kaiju approaching.
