Toho vs Kadokawa! The ultimate incarnations of good and evil square off in a battle to the death! Will Gamera protect the planet he loves, or will Destoroyah feast on turtle soup?
Interlude[]
Tabashi: Good & Evil. Two sides of a coin, two halves of a whole.
Angel: Without one, there cannot be the other.
Tabashi: Well, today might be the exception.
Angel: Gamera, the Guardian of the Universe and symbol of good.
Tabashi: And Destoroyah, the Terror Incarnate and symbol of evil. Now, Gamera will be 262 feet tall, and Destoroyah will be at 361 feet tall.
Angel: He's Tabashi and I'm Angel!
Tabashi: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, & skills to see who will be victorious...
Angel: ...In yet another Godzilla vs Gamera themed Death Battle!
Destoroyah[]
Tabashi: The year was 1954. As we all should know by now, nuclear tests were conducted here, and they woke a certain something up.
Angel: Godzilla, the King of the Monsters. This giant reptile rampaged through Japan, destroying everything in its path.
Tabashi: Godzilla seemed unstoppable. The Japanese government needed an answer. A doctor provided it in the form of the very first of what would later be known as "Anti-Godzilla Weaponry,": a superweapon named the Oxygen Destroyer.
Angel: Which, technically, does exactly what the name suggests!
Tabashi: The Oxygen Destroyer, when activated, releases a deadly chemical called Micro-Oxygen. Micro-Oxygen then kills its victims by destroying organic matter on atomic levels, causing the de-cohering of the surrounding atoms, thus disassembling the targets.
Angel: This results in the victims either melting them down to the bone, or (when the Oxygen Destroyer is used to its full potential) disintegrating everything completely. God damn, that's powerful! But the Oxygen Destroyer has two deadly weaknesses: one, anaerobic Kaiju (Kaiju that don't require oxygen to survive) can not be affected by the Oxygen Destroyer.
Tabashi: Two, little Precambrian crustaceans can become empowered by the Micro-O², adding it into their systems.
Angel: Well then, it's a good thing that didn't happen!
Tabashi: Enter Destoroyah, also known as the Terror Incarnate.
Angel: Wait a minute, Tabashi! I've looked through all the movies, books, comics, and articles on Destoroyah, and I couldn't find "Terror Incarnate" as one of his nicknames!
Tabashi: It's all right. I had found that on a fake Monsterverse movies poster, and I thought it fit just right, so I just had to use it.
Angel: Well, it is a fitting nickname for a Kaiju such as Destoroyah.
Tabashi: Anyways, Destoroyah has had many different heights (due to being a multi-formed Kaiju), but today, he will tower over humans at 394 feet tall.
Angel: He is also 755 feet long, and (in his final form) has a 689-foot wingspan.
Tabashi: Fun fact, Destoroyah is perhaps the oldest Kaiju in the Godzilla and Gamera universes, since (being made of Precambrian crustaceans) he is, at the absolute least, 541,000,000 years old.
Angel: Sweet Jesus, Destoroyah is an old dog, err, crab! Anyways, despite not being Godzilla's most RECURRING foe, Destoroyah has proven himself worthy of the title of "Godzilla's Ultimate Foe," which is only shared by a few other Kaiju.
Tabashi: Also, Destoroyah has about as much of a variety of abilities as he is old!
Angel: The Terror Incarnate is immensely strong (being comparable to Burning Godzilla, who lifted the 150,482-metric ton Super Mechagodzilla) extremely durable (he can tank 3 Super Burning Red Spiral Rays, each of which can yield (at the absolute minimum) 267.1 ZETTATONS of TNT, which only resulted in him coughing up blood), and (via his wings, obviously) can even fly at 3,836 mph!
Tabashi: Also, Destoroyah can break down into his other forms at will (regenerating his wounds after he reforms), absorb other creature's DNA, and use his signature weapon, or rather, weapons: Micro-Oxygen attacks.
Angel: These attacks include homing projectiles (which is ironically called the "Oxygen Destroyer"), Oxygen Absorber Mines (for incapacitation), explosive Micro-O² spheres, Micro-O² comets, the list goes on and on.
Tabashi: However, his signature weapon is definitely the most awesome of them all: the Micro-Oxygen Beam.
Angel: This beam is so powerful, it can destroy organic matter on a SUBATOMIC level, and even penetrate most metals. The ray's color may vary between forms, but it's still just as deadly in any form! And speaking of forms, his Flying one was able to harm Godzilla Junior in his... uh... Junior form, who (in his previous form) survived an 8 Teraton explosion!
Tabashi: And his Final form is even more powerful. In his final form, Destoroyah possesses all of these abilities, as well as two new ones: the Absolute Micro Beam, and the Horn Katana, or Laser Horn.
Angel: Destoroyah's chest beam is basically Kiryu's Absolute Zero Cannon, as it can cut THROUGH Godzilla's tail, break several of his dorsal plates in one shot, and easily knock the King of the Monsters off of his feet!
Tabashi: According to the statistics, Burning Godzilla is more powerful than his base form. By that logic, burning G's durability could be around 2.7 YOTTATONS of TNT. Also, fun fact, this Absolute Micro Beam was actually cut from the film, but it is an ability that naturally belongs to Destoroyah.
Angel: And by DB Rule #3, Destoroyah will possess this ability in the battle today.
Tabashi: However, Destoroyah's Horn katana is a REAL piece of work!
Angel: This occurs when Destoroyah generates a blade of energy, which is strong enough to cut through Godzilla's flesh!
Tabashi: Now that we've covered Destoroyah's various abilities, let's move on to his feats. The Terror Incarnate has EXTREME levels of durability, like in the manga adaptation of Godzilla vs Destoroyah where Destoroyah survived decapitation for a very short period of time, multiple hits from the Super Burning Red Spiral Heat Ray, and fought on par with Burning Godzilla multiple times, and actually WON a majority of the encounters!
Angel: Well, Destoroyah also crushes it in other departments, too. Like strength! In terms of strength, Destoroyah has demonstrated immense levels, like when he held and dragged the 60,000-metric ton Burning Godzilla by the throat with only his pincer tail.
Tabashi: On that note, the Terror Incarnate can also easily lift Godzilla Junior into the air, and even killed the young Prince of the Monsters.
Angel: Destoroyah killed Junior!? That BASTARD! That's it, tell me all the ways that Destoroyah can be defeated!
Tabashi: Well, Destoroyah only has one surefire weakness: extreme temperatures. He seems to (if at all) hold up to heat better than cold (such as the Absolute Zero Cannon), but if he's somewhere hot AND cold, or even just cold, then he gets destoroyed. Also, being a micro-organism colony, Destoroyah's regeneration slows considerably the more his body gets damaged, so it could eventually get overwhelmed.
Angel: Still though, Destoroyah is the Terror Incarnate, and he will ensure that everyone knows it!
Gamera[]
Tabashi: Over 250,000,000 years ago, the civilization of Atlantis was plagued by enormous, serpentine Kaiju known as the Garasharp.
Angel: Hey, I've heard of them! Aren't they the cancelled Kaiju that were supposed to b in a Showa film, but were replaced by something else?
Tabashi: Yup. Basically, Garasharp was Daei's version of Bagan.
Angel: Oh, okay. Anyways, the Atlanteans wanted to get rid of the Garasharp, so they created something horrible. Something evil. Something that reproduces faster than Zilla and the MUTOs COMBINED!
Tabashi: This was the Shadow of Evil, Gyaos. At first, the Gyaos were an incredible success, as they wiped the Garasharp to nigh—extinction.
Angel: But surprise, surprise, with the Garasharp nearly gone, Gyaos got a taste for human flesh, and proceeded to deem themselves more than worthy of being ranked among the Malicious Man—Eaters!
Tabashi: And what was Atlantis's solution to combat these rapidly—reproducing, laser—shooting murder birds? Why, create a slow—producing, fire—breathing species of giant turtle Titans, of course! Man, if this isn't the inspiration for There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly, then I don't know what is!
Angel: Well, this time it worked out, Tabashi, so that makes it okay!
Tabashi: No, Angel. No it doesn't. Anyways, this new bio—engineered species would end up defending Atlantis from the Gyaos, but all of them would perish. Well, that is, all except one, who would become the biggest pain in the Gyaos' ass!
Angel: Enter Gamera, the Guardian of the Universe. Standing 197-262 feet (60-80 meters) tall and weighing in at 80-1,200 metric tons, Gamera is a force to be reckoned with. But wait a minute, why is Gamera such a lightweight Kaiju?
Tabashi: I honestly don't know. It IS strange, though, that a TURTLE Kaiju (who logically should be 80,000 metric tons easy) would weigh less than most of the Pacific Rim Kaiju. I guess Daei didn't really care about automatically giving Toho the strength advantage.
Angel: Oh. Well, to make matters worse for this poor Turtle Titan, the Gyaos eventually came back with a bloodthirsty vengeance, so Gamera (being the last member of his species) was overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of murder birds. So guess what he did? He destroyed Atlantis himself in order to save his masters, for he knew they'd never be safe TAKE MY MONEY, TAKE IT ALL NOW!!!
Tabashi: Okay, calm down. To commemorate Gamera's sacrifice, the few Atlantean survivors sealed the Guardian of the Universe away in an atoll so any future generations could have a protector, should the Gyaos (or anything else) threaten the planet.
Angel: Spoiler alert, Gamera would be called upon many times to save the world!
Tabashi: Now, Gamera may not have as many films as Godzilla (not by a LONG shot) but being the Last Hope, he DOES have a shitload of abilities, attacks, and techniques, so we're going to break them down for you.
Angel: First, in order to comprehend Gamera's abilities, you need to understand how they work. That's why we're going to do a complete anatomy of this titanic, titular Turtle Titan!
Tabashi: First up is the Oil Bag, which is used to drink oil (and similar liquids), which are stored in this organ.
Angel: The Coal Sack basically does the same thing, except for coal instead of oil. Wait, if Gamera likes to eat coal, then how does Santa punish him if he's been bad?
Tabashi: Well, Gamera's a good guy, so Santa wouldn't NEED to punish him, but I guess if you're talking about his rampage in the first movie, well... his least favorite foods are carrots and onions, so I guess Santa would just give him those?
Angel: Okay then! Anyways, Gamera can't just keep all that coal, oil, and whatnot in there, so naturally, in a process similar to a train, Gamera can send it all to the Melting Furnaces, which will burn everything up in order to allow it to be converted to either thermal or Plasma energy, depending on which timeline you're looking at.
Tabashi: Fun fact: The Showa Gamera can ingest coal, oil, fire, magma, and Uranium-
Angel: Oh yeah, that's the stuff Fire Rodan's Uranium Heat Beam is made of!
Tabashi: In addition to plasma, yes. Anyways, Gamera's blood (in the Heisei Trilogy) can absorb heat, flames, high voltage currents, and nuclear fuel. These are then converted by the Plasma Conversion Furnace into electrons, protons, and atomic nuclei, which are then converted into plasma energy to be used/stored for later. Mana, the life energy from the Earth, can also be converted.
Angel: Damn, who knew Kaiju movies had science in them? Anyways, Gamera's Thermal Energy Heart works just like any other heart, but due to it being made for thermal energy, it has extraordinary power in comparison. Also, the Thermal Energy Conversion Intestines are where Gamera converts the burned materials from the Melting Furnaces into thermal energy.
Tabashi: Gamera's also got special cells, which give him a minor healing factor and the ability to manipulate his own genetic structure in order to adapt to his environments. We also found out that as a result of this, Gamera gets twice as strong with each progressing movie.
Angel: That sounds like cheating to me! Anyways, Gamera also has Elbow Spikes that are strong enough to tear into Gyaos' flesh. In the first movie of the trilogy, the Elbow Spikes were tucked away in Gamera's body, though he could bring them out at will for a surprise attack. In the second movie, they were always out by default, and in the third movie, Gamera now had two pairs of Elbow Spikes instead of just one. Now let's move on to the best parts of Gamera's body (don't take that out of context!).
Tabashi: Okay. First off, there's his High Fever Muscles, which are said to possess at least 10,000x the strength of any human. This means that Gamera should be able to lift at least 28,440 metric tons! Okay, forget what I said about Toho automatically having the strength advantage, because as far as we know, that's stronger than the original Godzilla!
Angel: Second is Gamera's brain. Now, out of Japan's Titanic Trinity (which consists of Godzilla, Gamera, and Ultraman), Gamera is definitely the smartest. Unlike most Kaiju, who prefer to use brute force to win a fight, Gamera analyzes his opponent's moves, reacting accordingly and learning over the course of a battle. As he learns, Gamera will eventually anticipate and exploit his opponent's weakness(es). He also understands human speech, has a telepathic bond with a girl, and somehow repaired an alien spacecraft despite NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE WHATSOEVER!!!
Tabashi: Which, mind you, automatically places Gamera in the "Gifted" section of intelligence. In comparison, most film incarnations of Godzilla range from "High Animalistic" to "Average" Intelligence. And also, Ultraman is said to have "High" intelligence (let's just say that means "Above Average"). So yeah, Gamera's definitely one of the smartest Kaiju in history.
Angel: Anyways, third is Gamera's shell. At its worst, it couldn't completely withstand a missile assault from the JSDF. But at its best, it was only pierced once: by Guiron ramming his blade head into the same spot again and again.
Tabashi: And all of these Body Mechanisms of his have allowed Gamera access to some damn cool attacks and techniques!
Angel: The first two are pretty basic. There's the Hard Slap, which is just a powerful hand slap mainly used in melee—oriented fights. Then, there's the Lashing Claw, which allows Gamera to tear into an opponent's flesh by using those damn sharp claws of his.
Tabashi: Next up is the Break Fang, which utilizes Gamera's teeth and tusks as well as his strong jaw.
Angel: And when Gamera chomps down on an opponent's flesh, they ain't breaking free any time soon!
Tabashi: For comparison, Gamera used this attack on Gyaos, and you know what the Shadow of Evil had to do? IT HAD TO AMPUTATE ITS OWN DAMN FOOT OFF TO GET AWAY!!!
Angel: Damn, Gamera gives King Kong a run for the money in the bite force department, doesn't he?
Tabashi: Then, there's the Shell Cutter. While in flight, Gamera tucks in either all of his limbs, or just his legs. For method #2, Gamera extends his arms out like wings, but can still grab or engage an opponent in melee combat while taking them up into the air.
Angel: But for method #1, Gamera rotates repeatedly until he's spinning like a frisbee, and can use the sharp edges of his shell to essentially become the world's biggest Buzzsaw.
Tabashi: Now, with all that stuff out of the way, we can finally move on to Gamera's abilities.
Angel: Oh thank God! This was taking forever!
Tabashi: Gamera can survive in Space for long periods of time, breathe fire from the thermal energy that is so hot, it can be used underwater, and also fly! Based on the fact that Gamera was in saltwater when he used his fire breath, this means it must have a minimum temperature of 3,000°F.
Angel: Jesus, what hot peppers did Gamera eat to breathe fire that intense?
Tabashi: Oh, and speaking of which, Gamera has some rather large speed feats, so let's run through them so we can find his Kinetic Energy.
Angel: Well, on Earth, Gamera can fly at Mach 3—3.5 (2,302—2,685mph) officially, and can swim at speeds of 50—180 knots (58—207mph). However, Gamera was able to keep up with Iris in flight, and the Tentacled Terror can fly at Mach 9 (6,905mph). But in Space, Gamera REALLY shines, blowing all of his previous numbers out of the water with a whopping 2.1—9.2% the Speed of Light. That's 14,082,949—61,696,730mph!
Tabashi: So, given all the numbers we have (and using Gamera's heaviest weight of 1,200 metric tons, so we can get the highest possible outcomes), this means Gamera's Kinetic Energy yield would be 152—207 tons of TNT officially (via Earthflight), but based on feats, it'd be about 1.4 Kilotons of TNT!
Angel: And while swimming, his KE rests comfortably at 0.1—1.23 tons of TNT. And for the grand prize, in Space, Gamera's KE can range from 6—109.1 Gigatons of TNT! Holy hell! And everyone's always ripping on Gamera for being weak!
Tabashi: Yeah, they're all liars.
Angel: Well, anyways, remember how Gamera's Thermal Energy Fire Breath is at least 3,000°F? Well, his Plasma Fireballs can reach 3,600,000°F, and since the High Plasma Fireballs are at least 120% more powerful, that means that they can reach 4,320,000°F.
Tabashi: Oh my God, we forgot to cover the Heisei version's abilities! Well, as Angel pointed out, Gamera has the Plasma Fireball and High Plasma. See, by fusing and compressing the Plasma energy and oxygen stored within a throat chamber, Gamera ionizes the energy and forms an enormous Plasma Fireball, which can be fired continuously. The High Plasma is just a Plasma Fireball with a power output of 120% or more compared to the standard ones.
Angel: Cool! But we still need to talk about Gamera's two trump cards, which are incredibly badass, by the way! First up is the vanishing/Banishing Fist, which is said to be at least twice as strong as his other attacks.
Tabashi: Based on the temperature of the High Plasma we found earlier, as well as the fact that the Vanishing/Banishing Fist is at least twice as strong as anything else in Gamera's arsenal, this means the minimum temperature of the fiery falcon fist of fury is 8,640,000°F. That is 7.2x hotter than Godzilla Heisei's (Base 2, to be exact) Uranium Atomic Heat Ray, which has a temperature of only 1,200,000°F!
Angel: Oh man, talk about packing heat! But the Vanishing/Banishing Fist isn't Gamera's strongest attack. No, the trump card to end all trump cards is NOT a fiery falcon fist of fury! Ladies and gentlemen, we proudly present to you... the Mana Canon!
Tabashi: This baby is Gamera's ultimate trump card attack, and it easily vaporized Legion, who previously survived every single one of Gmera's other attacks! But with the Mana Canon comes a whole slew of problems, which we'll talk about later. Now, we can finally move on to Gamera's feats, which I'm sure is what you've all been waiting for.
Angel: Oh yeah! And this time, Gamera's got some GREAT feats!
Tabashi: Gamera's feats include surviving the vacuum of Space, uprooting a Legion Flower (which weighs 3,000 metric tons, the heaviest thing in the entire Gamera franchise), devastating Tokyo in his original film, and surviving a collision with an asteroid (which would yield about 6—7 Megatons of TNT), as well as a Legion Flower exploding. The explosion was said to yield 121 Megatons—1 Gigaton of TNT. Oh, and also, Gamera's Mana Canon FINALLY has a confirmed power output, which is... 989.32 Gigatons—16 Teratons! Impressive as hell, I'd say!
Angel: He also survived being impaled in the chest multiple times by Viras, destroyed a ripoff of a Star Destroyer, and shrugged off atmospheric re—entry. But did you know that Gamera has a secret feat that hasn't been discovered until we did a few months ago? Yeah! Gamera has a secret feat that could change the very course of history as we know it.
Tabashi: That secret feat originated in none other than... Gamera vs. Zigra. See, Zigra has three types of beams that he can fire from the gem between his nose(?): an orange—colored beam (which paralyzes and makes the opponent asphyxiate by stopping cell functions), a green—colored beam (which teleports objects at will), and a red destructive beam/heat ray (which can cause earthquakes of more than Magnitude 12).
Angel: But wait! Did you hear that? MAGNITUDE 12 EARTHQUAKES!? How is this possible? And how does Gamera scale to Zigra's earthquake beam? Well, we'll all tell you how!
Tabashi: See, while it IS true that Zigra never used his earthquake beam onscreen, it is NOT illogical to say that he has survived it before. Therefore, if Gamera can fight against someone that powerful and still come out on top, then it's safe to say he scales to this fishy Kaiju.
Angel: But how powerful IS a magnitude 12 earthquake?
Tabashi: Well, according to an earthquake calculator, it could be anywhere from 151 Gigatons—15.1 Teratons of TNT.
Angel: Oh. Well, it's okay, at least we know what the borderlines are.
Tabashi: Yeah, you're right. I guess that IS all we need, isn't it?
Angel: Yeah, we don't need much else.
(After about three minutes, Tabashi and Angel suddenly remember what they're doing.)
Tabashi: Oh, crap! We need to continue on with the feats! And might I just say that for only having 12 films (counting Gamera: The Brave), Gamera's canon battle record is impressive.
Angel: As of Gamera: The Brave, Gamera has 16 known wins, 3 known losses, and 2 known ties. And the monsters Gamera has beaten are powerful in their own right!
Tabashi: In the Showa Era, Gamera has fought with and defeated Barugon (Daei's Anguirus and Baragon), Gyaos (Daei's Rodan and King Ghidorah), Viras (Daei's Gezora and Oodako), Guiron (Daei's Gigan and Megalon), Jiger (Daei's Varan, Anguirus, and Zilla), and Zigra (Daei's Hedorah and Titanosaurus). Then, in Gamera: Super Monster, not only did Gamera destroy the Star Destroyer ripoff, but he also took on all the previous Kaiju he had beaten.
Angel: In the Heisei Trilogy (counting the films and comics), Gamera's defeated many Gyaos (even when they were in their Super and Hyper forms), some Garasharp (Daei's Bagan), a crapload of Soldier Legion (Daei's Meganula), Mother Legion (Daei's SpaceGodzilla, Biollante, King Ghidorah, and Megaguirus), Barugon, and Iris (Daei's Destoroyah, SpaceGodzilla, Monster X, and King Caesar).
Tabashi: So yeah, not a bad set of feats for a turtle Kaiju, I'd say.
Angel: But, as powerful as Gamera may be, he's still got his fair share of weaknesses. And some of them are deadly, might I say!
Tabashi: In the Showa Era, Gamera had a great weakness to cold temperatures, shown when the JSDF bombed him with Cadmium freezing missiles, and Barugon was able to freeze him solid for eight hours straight. However, by Gamera vs. Viras, that weakness was patched up.
Angel: Good. But Gamera also has a nasty habit of getting overpowered by physically weaker opponents, in addition to being somewhat slow and clumsy. Also, Gamera's internal organs are vulnerable to parasites, shown when he turned a deathly white (almost transparent!) when Jiger infected him with her offspring.
Tabashi: Also, Gamera's underbelly (like an actual turtle's) is softer compared to the shell, shown when Viras impaled him through the stomach via his head tip. In addition to that, Gamera is susceptible to mind control, shown when the Virasians and Zanon planted a control device on his neck. Now, in the Heisei trilogy, Gamera may not have any explicitly stated weaknesses, but by scanning through the media, we were able to find some.
Angel: In the Heisei Trilogy, Gamera is somewhat suceptible to conventional weaponry (as we said earlier), can be damaged by his own Plasma (shown when he severed his own hand to get free of Iris' impalement), and like the Showa version, his underbelly is considerably more vulnerable than the shell, shown when Iris used his Spear Absorbers to impale the Guardian of the Universe THROUGH his stomach!
Tabashi: And we can't forget that the Mana Canon has more bad effects than good ones! For starters, Gamera's immobile while he uses it, and it can only be used once during his lifetime. However, whether this is because of the strain on his body (from, you know, absorbing all that Mana) or its... other effect... is unknown. And trust us, the other effect is bad!
Angel: Apparently, consuming a large amount of Mana is bad, since it disrupts the Earth's environmental balance. See, Mana keeps the Gyaos at bay, but when Gamera used the Mana Canon, it depleted Earth's supply of it to such an extent that it caused clutches of Gyaos eggs to hatch. In fact, by the end of Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris, hundreds of thousands of Hyper Gyaos were flying towards Gamera, ready to vanquish the Guardian of the Universe once and for all!
Tabashi: And remember that telepathic bond Gamera and Asagi Kusanagi shared? Well, it turns out that while it may give Gamera more power, when the connection is broken/severed, Gamera will become much more bloodthirsty.
Angel: But worst of all, the Showa Gamera prefers winning through a retreating strategy, usually taking one round to analyze his opponent, and a second to win the day.
Tabashi: However, the Heisei version has somewhat compensated for this with his intelligence. And also, Gamera has a habit of putting the Earth's safety (and also that of children) above his own, allowing clever enough opponents to gain the upper hand by exploiting that.
Angel: But still, Gamera's one tough Turtle Titan, and I wouldn't get on his bad side for a SECOND! After all, there's a good reason why he's considered part of the Main Monsters!
Death Battle![]
Tabashi: All righty then. The combatants are set, so let's end this debate once and for all.
Angel: It's time for a Death Battle!
Pre-Fight[]
Yellowstone National Park
The park is in peril. Trees are burning, lakes are drying up from the heat, and innocent wildlife is being killed by the truckload. Destoroyah can be seen in the center of it all, feeling pure bliss. He would definitely kill Godzilla today, he was sure of it. Suddenly, though, all the flames were sucked up into the air. Destoroyah looked up in mild surprise, expecting Godzilla.
But it was not Godzilla. It was Gamera, the Guardian of the Universe. Gamera ate all the flames, enhancing himself, while Destoroyah roared in rage at the turtle for ruining his "project." Gamera didn't care, though, and roared back, preparing to fight.
Gamera fired a fireball at Destoroyah, hitting the Terror Incarnate square in the chest. Destoroyah winced in pain, but ignored it, and charged Gamera. The two clashed in a physical struggle, trying to overpower one another, but Destoroyah prevails, tossing Gamera a few dozen feet away. Gamera got back up, though, and charged up a High Plasma, while Destoroyah charged up his Micro-Oxygen Beam. The two fired at the same time, their projectiles hitting each other and creating an explosion that destroyed what was left of the trees.
Destoroyah cannot see through the smoke. He figured Gamera was dead, for even HE barely tolerated that explosion. But much to Destoroyah's dismay, the fire from the explosion was sucked up again by Gamera. The Guardian of the Universe charges up, and fires an absolutely ENORMOUS High Plasma, which hits the Terror Incarnate in the floral chest pattern. Destoroyah shrieks in pain, coughing up blood. But he was alive, and mad.
Faster than Gamera could possibly react, Destoroyah charged up and blasted out some Micro-Oxygen Comets, which hit Gamera and the surrounding area. Gamera wailed in pain, and decided to take to the skies. He pulled his limbs into his shell, and took off into the air. Destoroyah was not going to let this pitiful nuisance get away, so he spread his wings and took to the sky as well.
The two Titans were now up in the air, playing a game of chicken. Whenever they both charged each other, they turned a sharp 90 at the last second. This was going absolutely nowhere, and both of them knew it. Destoroyah fired his Oxygen Destroyer at Gamera, which knocked him out of the sky. Gamera crash-landed into another part of the forest, while Destoroyah landed on the ground, thinking Gamera was dead for sure this time.
But although he was bloody, battered, and bruised, the Guardian of the Universe was not, in fact, dead. Gamera was angry at this demonic thing. Really, really angry. He wanted this thing to pay for all the lives he took, the destruction he caused. With that, Gamera summoned a bit of Mana from the Earth, charged up his Vanishing Fist, and punched Destoroyah with all his might. Destoroyah screamed in agony, and then there was the explosion.
Trees were disintegrated. Geysers erupted. Fire was absolutely everywhere. And Gamera still stood, alive and healed of his wounds. Gamera got ready to leave...
…But was blasted by the Micro-Oxygen Beam. Gamera was shocked, for he was sure the extreme temperature from the Vanishing Fist would've killed Destoroyah. And it almost did, too. The Terror Incarnate was battered, beaten, bruised, and bloody, but alive. And Destoroyah was ready to finish this. He wanted this turtle turned to ashes, to never bother him again. Destoroyah's floral chest pattern opened, and he began charging up the Absolute Micro Canon.
At the same time, Gamera summoned all the Mana from the Earth he could muster, causing his stomach to open up. Gamera charged up his Mana Canon, and the two Titans fired their beams, creating a beam lock. The two beams seem evenly matched, but then Destoroyah uses his tail to grab Gamera's foot. The moment of hesitation is just enough, and the Absolute Micro Canon "destoroys" the Guardian of the Universe once and for all.
Destoroyah "laughs" over Gamera's ashes, and continues tearing up Yellowstone National Park... until he comes face-to-face with a teenager wearing a Freddy Kreuger hat. Destoroyah is mildly surprised that this human was not running for his life at the mere sight of him, so he bent over to get a closer look.
Teen: Yeah, that's right. I'm not afraid of you.
Destoroyah raised his "eyebrows" and roared in the Teen's face.
Teen: (after cleaning out his ears mockingly) You just did a very bad thing, Terror Incarnate. But if you and your team can kill a being much more powerful than you, maybe I'll let you live.
Destoroyah looks at the Teen for a moment more, then flies away to find his friends.
Results[]
Tabashi: (sniff) Man, that was brutal! Poor Gamera!
Angel: Yeah, this IS Death Battle, but he didn’t deserve that.
Tabashi: Well, anyways, this match, as many people expected, goes to Destoroyah. He had a much more versatile arsenal of attacks, and took strength by about 5 times. But you might be surprised to know that this wasn’t as one-sided as it might look on the surface.
Angel: Yeah, Gamera's basic fireballs rest comfortably at 3,600,000°F (hotter than the surface of the sun), and his High Plasmas should rest around 4,320,000°F.
Tabashi: In comparison, Destoroyah could resist Burning Godzilla's Burning Heat Ray, which is a much more powerful version of the Red Spiral Ray. And that beam has a temperature of 2,160,032°F, so Gamera most DEFINITELY could exploit Destoroyah's weakness to extreme temperatures!
Angel: Since pretty much all of Gamera's attacks were heat-based, he could (to a certain extent) negate some of Destoroyah's durability. Since Destoroyah would already be weakened, it's not wrong to say that enough Fireballs, High Plasmas, and Vanishing Fists COULD kill Destoroyah.
Angel: However, since Destoroyah has a much larger amount of Micro-Oxygen attacks (which ALSO negate durability to a certain extent), he could ALSO kill Gamera with enough fatal hits. So really, this one (on the surface) could really go either way.
Tabashi: And it didn't exactly help when the two of them took to the air. Sure, Destoroyah could just tank all the attacks Gamera could throw at him, but eventually, it would just lead back to ground level.
Angel: Also, The Absolute Micro Beam and the Mana Canon are both INTENSELY powerful beams that can easily injure/defeat other Kaiju, but Destoroyah has used it against Burning Godzilla, while Gamera only used it on Legion (who would most certainly lose to Destoroyah).
Tabashi: Overall, this fight was closer than we thought, but thanks to Destoroyah's superior strength, durability, and versatility proved just enough to let him come out on top.
Angel: Well, I guess Gamera got Oxygen Destoroyed!
Tabashi: The winner is Destoroyah.

Trivia[]
- The connection between Gamera and Destoroyah is that they are both true symbols of the side they are on (good and kind for Gamera & evil and malevolent for Destoroyah).
