Avant Gamera

==Summary==
Avant Gamera (アヴァンガメラ) is a giant turtle kaiju who appeared in the 2006 Kadokawa film, Gamera the Brave.
A huge turtle, Gamera suddenly appeared in the fishing village of Shima in 1973 to save its inhabitants from a flock of man-eating bat-like creatures called Gyaos. Gamera found himself outnumbered and outmatched and was forced to self-destruct in order to eliminate the Gyaos and defend the village. Despite seemingly sacrificing his own life, Gamera actually expelled his energy and allowed himself to be reincarnated through an egg 33 years later. When the reincarnation of Gamera hatched, he was raised by a young boy named Toru Aizawa, who named him "Toto."

*Fire Breath: Avant Gamera can spit fireballs (火球 kakyū) which are highly incendiary and deadly toward other monsters. This ability was utilized to kill one Gyaos during Gamera's 1973 battle against the creatures. His aim is impeccable in the version of the battle included in the tie-in manga Gamera 2006: Hard Link, with all four fireballs he shoots hitting a Gyaos. In the novelization Friends: Gamera the Brave, a sonic ray from a Gyaos slices off his lower jaw, leaving him unable to use this weapon.
*Self-Destruction: When overwhelmed in combat and left with no other option, Gamera can cause himself to self-destruct (自爆 jibaku). Gamera overloads his internal furnace with fireballs until he begins to glow bright red and finally explodes, destroying everything in close proximity. Gamera used this self-destruction when overwhelmed by a flock of Gyaos, successfully destroying all three of them along with himself.
*Reincarnation: Gamera's life does not end after self-destructing, however, as in the act of exploding he releases his internal energy which is then collected in numerous red pearls. After 33 years, Gamera was reincarnated through an egg that appeared atop an ornate red stone. This egg hatched into a turtle which was named "Toto" and raised by Toru Aizawa, and quickly grew into Gamera. Toto's growth was not complete until he had reabsorbed all of the energy Avant Gamera had released, which was accomplished by a transfusion of energy extracted from the red pearls followed by Toto consuming the rock on which his egg was found.
*Physical Attacks: In the Gamera 2006: Hard Link manga, Avant Gamera finishes off a charred Gyaos by stepping on its head. Later in the battle, he hurls a Gyaos to the ground even as it blasts him with its supersonic scalpel.
*Flight: Gamera is capable of both flying like a rocket and spinning around like a flying saucer. He has also shown the ability to turn his arms into wings.
