The Fire Breath, officially known as either Flame Jet (火炎噴射/火焔噴射,   Kaen-Funsha^?) or Flame Emission (火炎放射,   Kaen-Hōsha^?), is one of signature attacks of some incarnations of Gamera and other monsters. It may be also refereed as the Fire Blast on some occasions. While "flame emission" is etymologically common in Japanese, "Flame Jet" was introduced by the Gamera franchise both in Gamera's Song and Gamera March along with the Spinning Jet.

Gamera

Showa

Showa Gamera feeds on fire, electricity, lava, coal, oil, and nuclear material, all of which contribute to his ability to generate thermal energy, which he uses to sustain his bodily functions, propel himself into the air, or spit a stream of fire from his mouth. Unlike normal fires, Gamera's flame doesn't cease even underwater and outer space.

2015 short film

It is the first revival of the attack on screen since Gamera: Super Monster in 1980.

Similar to the High Plasma used in Sapporo against the Legion Plant in Gamera 2: Attack of Legion, Gamera strongly inhales the air enough to cause strong winds, and charges the attack within his mouth, and releases it.
