## Gamera

**Gamera** (Japanese: ガメラ, Hepburn: *Gamera*) is a fictional monster, or *kaiju*, originating from a series of Japanese films. Debuting in the 1965 film *Gamera, the Giant Monster*, the character and the first film were intended to compete with the success of Toho's *Godzilla* film series. Since then, Gamera has become a Japanese icon in his own right, appearing in a total of 12 films produced by Daiei Film and later by Tokuma Shoten and Kadokawa Daiei Studio respectively, and various media.

Gamera is depicted as a giant, flying, fire-breathing, prehistoric turtle. In the first film, Gamera is portrayed as aggressive and destructive, though he also saves a child. As the films progressed, Gamera took on a more benevolent role, becoming a protector of humanity especially children, nature, and the Earth from extraterrestrial races and other giant monsters.

The *Daimajin*, another iconic tokusatsu character by Daiei Film, was originally designed to be an antagonist for the second film, and its concept was feedbacked into both Daimajin and Barugon appeared in the 1966 film *Gamera vs. Barugon*. Daiei's yōkai films most notably the *Yokai Monsters* was also launched due to the success of the Gamera franchise and its productions were largely influenced by Gamera and Daimajin series. Collaborations of the Daiel films with Shigeru Mizuki and Kazuo Umezu started because of Daiei's yōkai films, resulted in minor crossovers between Gamera and Daimajin and Shigeru Mizuki's *GeGeGe no Kitarō* series and Hiroshi Aramata's *Teito Monogatari*.

As below mentioned, on the contrary to its popularity and extensive social influences such as references in numerous media globally and naming of two species of prehistoric turtles (*Sinemys gamera* and *Gamerabaena*), expansion of the franchise and public recognition of the character were severely hindered by financial obstacles.

## Son Gohan (Dragon Ball)

**Son Gohan** (Japanese: 孫 悟飯) is a fictional character in the *Dragon Ball* manga series, created by Akira Toriyama. Gohan is introduced as the first son of the protagonist Son Goku, and his wife Chi-Chi, in chapter #196 "Kakarrot", published in *Weekly Shōnen Jump* magazine on October 8, 1988.

Chi-Chi is a strict and protective mother to Gohan, forcing him to focus on his studies and forbidding him from practicing martial arts. However, due to the various threats to the Earth, she reluctantly allows him to fight. Gohan is initially trained by his father's former nemesis Piccolo, ultimately becoming one of the strongest characters in the series due to his hidden potential, awakened by his rage.

Akira Toriyama originally aimed Gohan to succeed Goku as the series' protagonist but such idea was scrapped in the manga's final arc. Nevertheless, Toriyama used him as a lead in the film *Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero*, to reuse his dynamic with Piccolo. In Japanese, he is voiced by Masako Nozawa in all animated appearances and most media.

Gohan has been well received by both fans and critics, the latter usually citing the character's growth from his initial appearance to his defeat of Cell. However, his characterization after the Cell arc has received a more mixed reception. His return as a protagonist in *Super Hero* earned a better response for his continuous growth and role as a family man aided by Piccolo.

Since its debut, the series has received critical acclaim for its screenplay, originality, creativity, and humor. It has been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program and won the award in 2018 and 2020. The series has also received two Annie Awards. At times, the series has been the most viewed television comedy for adults between 18 and 24.

Shigeo Kageyama

## Shigeo Kageyama (Mob Psycho 100)

**Shigeo Kageyama** (Japanese: 影山茂夫, Hepburn: *Kageyama Shigeo*), nicknamed "**Mob**" (モブ, *Mobu*), is the protagonist from One's manga series *Mob Psycho 100*. Shigeo Kageyama is an average middle school-aged boy. Although he looks like an inconspicuous person, he is in fact a powerful esper with immense psychic power. To keep from losing control of this power, he constantly lives a life under an emotional shackle. In order to help learn how to control his abilities, Mob works as an assistant to con-man Reigen Arataka, a self-proclaimed spirit medium. Mob wants to live a normal life just like those around him, but a barrage of trouble keeps coming after him. With his suppressed emotions growing inside Mob little by little, his power threatens to break through its limits as he eventually encounters other espers like the Claws.

One created Mob as a contrast to his previous protagonist from *One Punch Man*, Saitama, aiming to portray Mob as a weak hero who still gets involved in several fights and forms new relationships thanks to his kindness. The character is voiced by Setsuo Ito in Japanese. In the first two seasons, he was voiced by Kyle McCarley in English. In the live-action series adaptation, he is portrayed by Tatsuomi Hamada.

Critical response to Shigeo Kageyama has been generally positive, for proving to be an unconventional anime protagonist due to his rejection of his super powers and desire to focus on other parts of his life in order to become popular. Despite giving such attitude, Mob was praised for his dynamic with his mentor Reigen and how he often ends up taking part in interesting fight scenes or comedy.

* Both are also wanted to fight the particular person who defeated them early on with a bit of a twist on there in opposite sides for a nice contrast (Jogo is defeated by Gojo and acts cowardly and wants to continuously try to kill Gojo, almost like a grudge, while Esidisi accepted his death and died with honour, keeping his promise to Joseph and removing the ring that would eventually kill him).

The series follows stepbrothers Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher during summer vacation.

Overhaul Vs Diavolo

#### (My Hero Academia Vs JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

* Both are mafia bosses with mysterious backgrounds and identities, which involves killing their adoptive fathers before becoming mafia bosses (Diavolo killed the priest who took him in after he was born in jail and Overhaul killed his grandfather and then took his authority as the new Yakuza boss).
* Both also have daughters which they used for their own selfish reasons (Diavolo tried to kill Trish in order to make sure people won't find his identity and Overhaul experimented a shit ton on Eri in order to make drugs).
* Both also make drugs (or special drugs in Overhaul's case) which effects on the world was one of the main reason them and their organisation were hunted down.
* Both also had said daughters stolen from them after the main idealistic teenage protagonists (Giorno and Izuku respectively) discovered about their usage of them and decided to protect them from them, despite not knowing a lot about who they were protecting.
* Both have overpowered abilities that works via their verse unique power system (Stands and Quirks), which helped them impale an important protective character to the protagonists (Bruno and Nighteye) even though their technically deaths came a bit after.
* Both also possessed a form being practically a fusion with one or more of their elite goons (Diavolo is the dual personality of Doppio who serves as a goon for him and Overhaul fused with his goons), and they would also get their fusion stopped by an unexpected ability (Silver Chariot Requiem forcing Doppio to leave Diavolo with his soul swapping shenanigans and Eri's quirk rewinding Overhaul before he fused).
* Both of their overpowered abilities were also countered by another OP ability that has to do with rewinding stuff (Golden Experience Requiem’s Return to Zero and Eri's quirk Rewind) and both also ended up with fates worse than death to reflect on the pieces of shit humans that they were.
* And finally, despite their similar merciless nature against others and even their own goons, they do represent opposite ideals and roles as villains (Diavolo represent reality, monarchy, oppression and even in some way fate while Overhaul represent change for the better and basically what Diavolo always tries to prevent in order to protect his "throne").
