#### Fighter 1: Showa Gamera

In the year of 1965, during some nuclear tests, a turtle was irradiated and awoken into the mighty Gamera. Gamera stands at 60 metres tall and weighs 80 tons. Gamera is physically one of the strongest monsters his era of the Showa series. Gamera has been able to wrestle monsters like Jiger who weighs 200 tons, more than twice Gamera's weight. Gamera also has hurt and pierced Jiger's skin, who survived a factory blowing up around her and falling from the sky and blowing up buildings without a scratch. Gamera is also extremely durable. Being a turtle, Gamera has an extremely armored shell which is strong enough to walk-off Gyaos' sonic beam, which completely cut through Gamera's skin. Speaking of which, Gamera has been beaten to bloody pulps on several occasions and always been able to walk it off. Gamera's shell allows most weapons and kaiju attacks to bounce off the armour. This is due to Gamera having extremely dense cellular tissues. Gamera is actually quite fast. He can normally fly at speeds of mach 3 but he has extremely quick reaction times. He was able to once catch a missile that can travel at mach 9 and may scale to a spaceship, which has traveled from a planet to the other side of the Sun, and Gamera has made the same trip. Gamera is also extremely intelligent for a reptile. Gamera was able to rebuild and fix an alien spaceship. He also figures out every kaiju's weakness that he fights.

Being a giant kaiju in a Japanese monster movie, Gamera has quite a lot of abilities. Gamera can absorb all kinds of energy, from nuclear energy from power plants to attacks from other kaiju, like Barugon's rainbow beam weapon. Gamera can use all of this energy to fire beams of plasma extremely similar to fire. This plasma is strong enough to work easily underwater and can be fired in short fireballs and a concentrated beam weapon. Gamera is also able to fly at speeds of mach 3. He can weaponize his flight by smashing into monsters with his shell crushing them. Gamera also has extremely large spikes on his elbows that he can use as weapons, stabbing his opponents similar to his claws. Gamera, being a turtle, is extremely effective in the water and can even battle underwater just as effective as he can on land. He also doesn't seem to need oxygen as he casually flies through space with no issue. While it isn't explicit, Gamera seemingly has regeneration, as in some scenes he is profusely bleeding or has major injuries and in the next, he is perfectly fine. Gamera is actually very similar to acrobats as he can swing around on metal beams and stick landings.

Doing scaling, Gamera has seemed to grow stronger over the years. In 1967, a monster called Gyaos was basically equal to Gamera is terms of strength, but later on in the series, Gamera became stronger than monsters like Guiron, who easily killed a Space Gyaos in around a minute. Gamera can also survive Zigra's red beam, which can cause type 12+ magnitude earthquakes according to guidebooks.

Gamera does have a couple of weaknesses. Due to being cold-blooded, he is vulnerable to cold temperatures, though he seems to have become more resistant. His underbelly is also pretty weak. Finally, due to him being friend of all children, his opponents can use children to get leverage on Gamera.

#### Fighter 2: Heisei Gamera

Around 8,000 years ago, the Atlanteans figured out how to create life and made the species known as Gyaos. However, the Gyaos decided to kill their creators. In a last ditch effort, the Atlanteans created Gamera. Standing at 80 metres tall and weighing 120 tons, the Heisei version of Gamera is much larger than the original. Due to his large size, Gamera is extremely large. Gamera has been able to push over a Legion flower, which weighs 3,000 tons. Gamera uses his strength in battle to overpower all monsters, which is his main strategy in a fight. Gamera is also extremely durable. Gamera has survived a point-blank range Legion flower exploding, which this explosion the entirety of Sendai. While he was injured, Gamera was fine enough to walk it off and become even stronger in the next film. Gamera has also survived several crash landings when he fell out of the sky. Gamera is also quite fast. The Heisei version of Gamera seems to be able to fly at around the same speeds as the original Showa Gamera and has done stuff like dodge Gyaos' sonic beam without much issue. He can also react to Gyaos' beam and move tens of metres towards a bridge to save some humans in a couple seconds. Gamera also has kept up and reacted to Iris, who can travel at mach 19 at full speed, making him several times faster than Gamera and yet, Gamera reacted to his attacks. Gamera is also decently intelligent, as he can strategies against other monsters and communicate with humans.

Like the original version of Gamera, the Heisei guardian of the universe can absorb energy, specifically Mana. Mana empowers Gamera to the point where he can use much, much more powerful abilities that make him much more powerful. Gamera also has an endless amount of firepower and can constantly shoot fire, never really needing to restock. However, if he wants to make it stronger, Gamera can absorb fire to shoot an "Oxygen-Powered" plasma fireball, which are even stronger. Gamera also seems to be able to manipulate fire. Gamera can also fly around, using his shell as a weapon be smashing into enemies. He is also very effective at fighting in the air. Gamera has elbow spikes that he originally retracted and used to stab the Super Gyaos. Gamera can also enter a coma and be on the verge of death before healing himself and allowing to continue a fight. Gamera also has regeneration that aids him in prolonging a fight. Gamera can even heal wounds on humans...somehow. Gamera's most powerful abilities are his Ultimate Plasma and the Vanishing Fist. Gamera's Ultimate Plasma was so powerful that it was able to completely destroy Legion, who destroyed Gamera earlier. Gamera's Vanishing Fist is even more powerful and happened when Gamera blew off his hand to escape a trap from Iris before creating the Plasma Fist to punch Iris, killing him instantly.

There is not much scaling you can do with the Heisei Gamera but anyways, Gamera has been able to defeat Iris, who is a highly evolved version of Gyaos. Gamera has also been notably been growing stronger in every single one of his films. Gamera has also been able to defeat entire armies of different Gyaos, who were able to completely whip out the people of Atlantis.

Gamera has a two weaknesses. He is completely immobile when using his Ultimate Plasma or when he's in his coma healing himself. His underbelly is also quite weak. Gamera is also slightly vulnerable to military weapons, as he was knocked out of the sky by missiles, though he wasn't harmed.

#### Fighter 3: Avant Gamera

The version of Gamera that appears in Gamera: The Brave's origins are unknown. All that is known is that it is a giant turtle and guardian of the universe. This version of Gamera stands at 35 metres tall, 55 metres long and weighs 1,200 tons. This version of Gamera's strength is mostly unknown, as he spends most of the film in his reincarnated state. However, Gamera has shown himself to be pretty powerful. Gamera was able to wrestle an entire army of Gyaos and throw them around. These are the heaviest version of Gyaos, weighing in at 500 tons. Gamera was fighting and wrestling at least three, meaning he can most likely lift 1,500 tons. Gamera is also pretty durable, considering monsters like Gyaos, who are just as physically strong as Gamera. Gamera also barley reacted when three Gyaos started to eat him alive, showing how high his pain tolerance is. Gamera has been able to walk off a Gyaos' Sonic Beam. Gamera has also been able to dodge said Sonic Beams and run towards Gyaos so fast that they can barely react towards the giant guardian turtle charging towards them. Gamera is also quite smart, considering he doesn't overestimate himself and again, can strategies and exploit enemy weaknesses.

Avant Gamera does have some abilities. He has extremely powerful fireballs, with only one fireball knocking a Gyaos out of the sky and burning off the Gyaos' skin. Gamera also most likely has the ability to fly and due to how spike and large his shell is, Gamera can ram into enemies. Gamera also has giant claws and spikes on his elbows that he can use to stab enemies. This Gamera specifically has short jaws with U-shaped end of the jaws that make his bite more compressed and thus more powerful, not to mention the giant tusks. However, the most infamous abilities that this version of Gamera specifically has is building up so much energy he blows himself up.

In terms of scaling, this form of Gamera should be comparable to both Toto and Zedus. Gamera is far stronger than Toto, who was able to push around the 2,000 ton Zedus. Gamera should also compare to said Zedus, who can destroy extremely large buildings and was able to dominate Toto in a fight without much trouble. This means Gamera should be around the same as Zedus.

Gamera does have one weakness. He puts all human lives above his own, to the point where he will sacrifice himself just to save the humans.

### Results

This fight may not be what you think. Showa Gamera has agility, Heisei has strength and Avant has weight. So who would win this fight? Well, Avant Gamera would die pretty quickly. Despite his massive, massive weight advantage, it doesn't make up for him generally being weaker. Not even Avant Gamera's self destruct would be able to scratch the other two. So, who wins between the Showa and Heisei. Due to the larger size, you wound think the Heisei would win but no. Heisei is most definitely stronger but when it comes to durability, Showa dominates the battle. Remember how Gamera was able to survive Zigra's red beam, which can cause magnitude 12+ earthquakes. Well, a magnitude 12+ earthquake is literally impossible and the only way it would happen were if a meteor similar to the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. Nothing in Heisei's arsenal can possibly hurt the Showa version. Showa either wins or ties in the other categories. He caught a mach 9 missile, fixed an alien spaceship and has less exploitable weaknesses. Avant Gamera wins 1% of the time, Heisei wins 21% and Showa wins 78% of the time.
