Latest revision as of 22:04, 19 July 2019

The only Gamera film (so far)[when?] to be released in the so-called Millenium Era of Kaiju movies, Gamera the Brave was released in 2006.

Tropes used in Gamera the Brave include:
  • Big Damn Heroes: Toto conveniently crashing into Zedus before the latter could devour Toru's Dad and Katsuya.
  • A Boy and His X: Toru and Toto.
  • Breath Weapon: Initially, Toto can only burp little bursts of fire, but by the end of the movie he can launch full-powered fireballs.
  • Combat Tentacles: Zedus can extend his tongue to great lengths and repeatedly uses it to impale Toto.
  • Continuity Reboot: A good one, but it sadly landed as a dud at the box office.
  • Giant Flyer: Toto.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: The adult Gamera in the prologue blows himself up to kill several attacking Gyaos. The possibility of Toto doing this to stop Zedus is also a fairly major plot point.
  • Ill Girl: Mai Nishio, Toru's neighbor.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: Zedus happily munches humans like popcorn.
  • Lighter and Softer: More optimistic than the Heisei series, but the movie opens with adult Gamera's death, how the death of his mother impacted Toru's life, and the people devoured by Zedus.
  • Missing Mom: Miyuki Aizawa had died in a car crash, which has made Toru fairly cynical.
  • Mythology Gag: While exploring Kousuke Aizawa's kitchen, Toto is nearly hit by a dropped knife and breathes fire on it in retaliation. The knife is a reference to the knife-headed monster Guiron, from the Showa era.
  • Plot Hole: At the end of the movie, during the final fight with Zedus, Toto being able to fly and shoot fireballs is treated as a big deal, as though he has finally become a fully-grown Gamera... Except that he was able to do both of those things as a tiny little pet turtle at the start of the movie.
  • Plot-Relevant Age-Up: In the space of a week, Toto grows from a cute little turtle to a cute house-sized turtle.
  • Reconstruction: Sort of. It returns to the Showa era's focus on children, but combines it with the Heisei era's tone and good writing.
  • Sea Monster: Zedus just kind of shows up out of the ocean one day. The first scene which foreshadows him is rather Jaws-esque.
  • Shout-Out: Keroro Gunsou - Toru has to remain polite to Mai in order to borrow issues from her.
  • Those Two Guys: Ishimaru and Katsuya, Toru's friends.
