Trivia[]

  • The Gamera in this comic was depicted to be the same Gamera who appeared in Gamera: Super Monster. While the film showed Gamera dying in his kamikaze attack on Spaceship Zanon, the comic showed Gamera been revived by the descendants of Atlanteans via Atlantean technology (artificial sun based on plasma energy) before been reincarnated into a new Gamera identical to the Heisei Gamera. He was then sent back to the past with a time machine to eradicate evil monsters and to monitor humanity, so the history of humanity was changed to a better one.
  • "Kenichiro Terasawa" is likely a pseudonym, as it matches the name of the writer character in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.
  • This manga was illustrated by Ryu Hariken, a suit actor for many Toho monsters during the Heisei series.
  • This manga features several new monsters based on Garasharp and the unmade monsters Marukobukarappa and Nezura and Wyvern.
  • The Galactic Peace Union's spaceship in the manga resembles a giant-sized version of the Pairans; benevolent starfish-shaped aliens from the 1956 Daiei film Warning from Space.
  • Despite its name, Powered Gyaos is actually a multi-headed, Chimera-like combination of all of Gamera's foes, from the original Showa era film series.
