Toho/Legendary vs Daei/Kadokawa! Gamera was unable to defeat Godzilla, but can he beat the monster king's greatest rival? Time to find out!
Interlude[]
Tabashi: Ah, Kaiju. One of the many beauties of fiction.
Angel: But sometimes, the companies creating these characters get a little out of hand, and a rivalry begins.
Tabashi: Gamera, the Guardian of the Universe.
Angel: And King Ghidorah, the Demon of the Galaxy.
Tabashi: Now, first order of business. For this fight, we will be trying to make this as not-one-sided as possible.
Angel: And in order to do that, we'll mainly be focusing on the Showa version of King Ghidorah, or else Gamera would be easily dispatched.
Tabashi: Second order of business. This battle, like its predecessors, will follow the Godzilla vs Gamera rules.
Angel: That means that, since ordinary Godzilla and Gamera attacks counter each other, these two will have to use only attacks that they are comfortable using.
Tabashi: Lastly, we will be using a composite Gamera. You’ll... understand why at the end.
Angel: He’s Tabashi and I’m Angel!
Tabahshi: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Godzilla vs. Gamera-themed Death Battle!
Gamera[]
Tabashi: Long ago, an ancient civilization (which would one day inspire the myths of Atlantis) was attacked by a race of giant serpents that threatened to destroy their very way of life.
Angel: I would say that escalated quickly, but that wasn't even the half of it.
Tabashi: To combat these giant reptiles (whom later became known as the Garasharp), the Atlantians decided to answer the call by creating their own race of monsters. Specifically, giant vampire bat-like creatures called the Gyaos! At first, their creations were a stellar success, as they wiped the giant snakes nearly to extinction.
Angel: Though surprise surprise, with their food source now gone, the Gyaos turned on their masters, and almost wiped them to extinction. For a technologically advanced civilization capable of creating life, you would think they would have some kind of fail-safe to keep their murder birds under control.
Tabashi: They did. But what was their solution to the betrayal of their own monsters? Why, create another race of giant monsters, of course! Obviously, they never learned from the mistakes of the past.
Angel: Wrong, Tabashi! This time, they actually got it right, and created a race of giant fire breathing guardian turtles. They were effective in quelling their predecessors, though all but one perished in battle.
Tabashi: This sole survivor would be known as the Last Hope of Humanity: Gamera! Gamera has had a bunch of different heights and weights over the years, but to make this a fair fight, he will be standing at around 197 feet (60 meters) tall. Weighing in at 1,200 Metric Tons, Gamera...
Angel: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on just a second! Why, in the holy mother of god, does Gamera only weigh 1,200 tons?!
Tabashi: Ummm... I really don't know. I guess he's supposed to be a lightweight?
Angel: Suuurrreeee. He's as tall as the Heisei Godzilla (and is arguably just as clumsy as the big G), and according to this statistics sheet I'm looking at, that Godzilla weighs 50,000 Metric Tons! Explain that!
Tabashi: Well, yeah, it is strange that a giant monster such as Gamera would weigh less than the smaller Blue Whale, but like I said, he does have different weights. Do you want to put him at 80,000 metric tons (his heaviest weight, used in the comics)?
Angel: Fine. Anyway, don't mean to ruin the mood even further (aside from writers having no sense of scale), but the Gyaos eventually returned, and Gamera (being overwhelmed) was forced to destroy the kingdom himself, knowing that his masters will always be targeted by the very ones he was meant to destroy! That entire sentence sounded like an oxymoron, but whatever.
Tabashi: To commemorate his sacrifice, the survivors of Atlantis sealed Gamera away in an atoll for future generations, should the Shadows of Evil return. And, thanks to global warming in the present day, they did.
Angel: Fortunately, we have GAMERA!! THE FLYING, FIRE BREATHING NINJA TURTLE OF DOOM is here to save the day!!
Tabashi: Gamera, being a bio-engineered monster, has many abilities beyond your average turtle. He has tusks protruding from his mouth like a walrus, allowing him to do the Break Fang move. This grip is so secure, Gyaos had to AMPUTATE its own foot off in order to get free!
Angel: Along with the Break Fang, Gamera can also do the Hard Slap, which are pretty much exactly what they sound. He can also use a more powerful version of the Hard Slap, called the Lashing Claw. Basically, Gamera uses his claws to tear into an opponent's flesh.
Tabashi: Gamera, in addition to his sharp claws and teeth, also has a pair of sharp elbow spikes, which he can reveal at any time. These elbow spikes are pretty handy for surprise attacks. Also, Gamera possesses High Fever Muscles, which possess 10,000x the strength of any human being. This means that Gamera should be able to lift around 28,440 metric tons! So much for lifting only his own weight!
Angel: Ascetic looks aside, Gamera can breathe flames or fireballs made up of Plasma. His Plasma balls are able to instantly burn anything they come into contact with, and can kill weaker Kaiju with a single hit. However, if one or multiple fireballs aren't enough, he can charge up to let lose a "High Plasma", a fireball that is 120% more powerful than his standard, everyday Plasma balls.
Tabashi: The key to Gamera's power lies in his Plasma Conversion Furnace, an organ which converts thermal energy, such as fire, oil, coal, and plutonium, into Plasma. Though if none of the following are available, he can use mana to fuel his strength and even heal himself from grievous injuries. Mana is a sort of spiritual or supernatural energy, almost similar to Ki, which inhabits every living thing. Most importantly, this spiritual energy was what the Atlantians used to create Gamera.
Angel: Though aside from healing himself, Gamera can also manipulate his own mana, allowing him to employ some pretty creative attacks, such as the 'Vanishing Fist' technique. Which is basically the result of him using Plasma to form a giant flaming falcon fist (similar to the Fire Punch from Pokemon), and anyone he punches freaking explodes!
Tabashi: Just like any natural terrapin, Gamera also has a shell that gives him additional protection against blunt force and energy attacks, such as Gyaos' supersonic scalpel, which resonates at 3,000,000 hertz, and is sharp enough to cut through steel with ease.
Angel: Glad you saved the best for last, T. I'll just talk about Gamera's most original and unbelievable ability of all: His speedy flight! That's right, a TURTLE can freaking fly!
Tabashi: When Gamera wants to fly, he can retract his limbs into his shell, shoot fire out of his arm and leg cavities, and spin rapidly like a frisbee. While in this form, Gamera can fly at Mach 3, and perform the Shell Cutter, an attack that uses the sharp ends of the shell, basically like a giant circullar saw.
Angel: Gamera does have another method of flight, in which he only retracts his legs (and/or tail) in, and fires flames from those cavities, flying like a jet. In later films, Gamera would extend/stretch his arms into wings, similar to a sea turtle's flippers! He can also somehow fly through space!? That is definitely NOT something you would see a turtle doing in your garden! If that were the case, then I would have to look into doing landscaping.
Anyway, Gamera, with his wide range of abilities, makes him a formidable Guardian of the Earth. And he has all the smarts to match it, too!
Tabashi: I swear to god, Angel. However, you are correct about Gamera's intelligence. Unlike most Kaiju, who use brute force to win a fight, Gamera analyzes his opponent's moves and reacts accordingly, while also anticipating and exploiting their weaknesses. Even so (most likely to his bio-engineered origins), he is fully capable of understanding human speech, and helps individual humans if they are in immediate danger. He is also smart enough to somehow repair an alien craft with no prior education whatsoever!
Angel: ...Oooooookaaaaaaaayyyyyy then. With his power and ferocity, Gamera definitely has quite the resume to fit his title of Guardian of the Universe. Aside from killing his arch-rival Gyaos (multiple times), he has also fought many other Kaiju, ranging from the ancient to the extra-terrestrial.
Tabashi: Chief among the monsters Gamera has defeated are the ice monster, Barugon; The knife-headed alien monster, Guiron; The silicon-based lifeform, Legion; And Iris (also spelled Irys), the ultimate evolution of the Gyaos and rival Guardian monster, who was SPECIFICALLY CREATED to defeat Gamera.
Angel: Gamera’s also very quick, despite being a large, lumbering turtle Kaiju. One time, he reacted fast enough to tag the Hyper Gyaos (which can move at Mach 4.5), and even keep up with the previously mentioned Iris, who can casually fly at Mach 9.
Tabashi: Gamera's most obvious attribute, though, is his extreme durability. He has survived everything from being impaled multiple times, his shell being cracked, atmospheric re-entry, and even a 6-7 Megaton (of TNT) collision with an asteroid, which destroyed the rocket he was imprisoned inside of.
Angel: Though, most epically, while uprooting a giant 3,000-ton flower, Gamera caused an explosion (which he was in the epicenter of, by the way) that destroyed the entire city of Sendai!
Tabashi: The city of Sendai is about 304 square miles across, so for an explosion to have destroyed that much space, it must've yielded at around 130 Megatons of TNT. In comparison, we have the Tzar Bomba, the most powerful nuclear weapon mankind has ever produced, with a yield of 50 Megatons.
Angel: Holy crap! That means Gamera survived about 2½ Tzars to the face, and his body remained intact! Not bad for a hippy turtle, eh?
Tabashi: While it is true that Gamera has survived impossible odds (and always comes out mostly on top), he is not infallible. Unlike most other Kaiju, Gamera is somewhat susceptible to conventional weaponry (well, in his Heisei incarnation, anyway), and his underbelly is the most vulnerable part of his body.
Angel: He also has a nasty habit of being overwhelmed by physically weaker opponents on numerous occasions, requires multiple rounds to defeat an opponent, and he is vulnerable to his own Plasma Fireball attack. Such as the case when was trapped and was forced to destroy his own arm. Gotta admit though, that is pretty hardcore.
Tabashi: Gamera's internal organs are also vulnerable to parasitic actions, and as we mentioned earlier, Gamera is vulnerable to cold temperatures. However, he has grown out of that, apparently.
Angel: Which goes to show that Gamera will do almost anything to achieve victory for the betterment of the planet and those that live on it.
King Ghidorah[]
Tabashi: Long, long ago, the insectoid alien species known as the Garogas had mastered the technology to genetically engineer violent life forms.
Angel: Kinda like Gamera's origin, except he became a HERO!
Tabashi: In a way, yes. Anyways, when the Garogas wanted to try out their new tech, what did they do? Why, create at least three giant, three-headed dragons!
Angel: These weapons of terror became known as Ghidorahs.
Tabashi: Kind of a dumb name for a Kaiju like this. Anyways, two of the three KNOWN Ghidorahs were given as a gift from the Garogas to another war-oriented alien race: the Xiliens.
Angel: Hey, aren't they the ones that built Gigan and took control of all the monsters on Earth except for Godzilla and Mothra?
Tabashi: In one timeline, yes, but that's a different one from this one.
Angel: Alright then. Back on track, though, the Xiliens used the Ghidorahs to destroy all life on a planet, leaving said planet open to the Xiliens for colonizing.
Tabashi: Fast-forward to the Cretaceous Period. One of the Ghidorahs (now in his cretaceous form) was sent to Venus to wipe out all life there, which it successfully did. However, when the Cretaceous Ghidorah went to Earth, he wiped out most life (AKA the extinction of the dinosaurs) just by arriving in a meteor-diamond thingy.
Angel: Why is this bad, you might ask? Because when Cretaceous Ghidorah absorbed the life energies of his now-extinct victims, he evolved. He went from Cretaceous Ghidorah to the form we all know and fear: King Ghidorah.
Tabashi: Now, each of these incarnations of King Ghidorah has their own heights, but to make this a fair fight, we will be using Grand King Ghidorah's height of 197 feet, or 60 meters.
Angel: Sounds fair. But don't think for a SECOND that we won't be including all of his abilities. His huge list of abilities.
Tabashi: King Ghidorah can manipulate gravity, fly at Mach 4 (~3,069 mph) on Earth, causing hurricane-force winds that can blow away buildings, constrict other Kaiju with his necks and prehensile tails, and he even possesses magnetic powers, since King Ghidorah wasn't powerful enough already without them!
Angel: These include magnetic field generation, magnetic beams (which he can spit out of each of his mouths), and generating a 10-second long magnetic pull, which will pull ANY ENEMY (metal or not) in for melee attacks.
Tabashi: However, King Ghidorah's signature attack comes in the form of his Gravity Beams.
Angel: These babies are roughly equal in power to Godzilla's own Atomic Breath, can travel at around 337-405 mph, and instantly VAPORIZE organic matter, like humans!
Tabashi: King Ghidorah can also lift and throw Anguirus, and that version of the Tenacious Veteran can weigh up to 54,000 metric tons!
Angel: In fact, King Ghidorah has been said to be superior to the Showa Godzilla, who can lift Kaiju that can get up to 73,000 metric tons!
Tabashi: Damn. This king Ghidorah is really powerful!
Angel: But he is by no means infallible, of course.
Tabashi: I never said he was. King Ghidorah may be powerful, but he can be overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of enemy Kaiju, and if the mind control over him is severed, King Ghidorah will become dazed and confused, allowing a clever enough opponent to gain the upper hand.
Angel: Also, King Ghidorah is rather slow in the Earth's atmosphere, and does much better in space.
Tabashi: Even so, King Ghidorah is one tough cookie, and I would NOT get in his way if I was you!
Death Battle![]
Tabashi: All right then. The combatants are set, and we've run the data through all possible scenarios.
Angel: It's time for yet another Godzilla vs Gamera themed Death Battle!
Pre-Fight[]
Tokyo, Japan
It is an absolutely beautiful day in Tokyo. The sun is shining, people are bustling about, and best of all, there does not appear to be a single Kaiju in sight. Suddenly, a colossal meteor crashes into the ground, creating a massive crater while also killing anyone within the crater’s range. The survivors that are not wounded look at the center of the crater... and run for their lives. For out of the meteor came a ginormous, three-headed Dragon Monster. This is King Ghidorah, also known as the King of Terror.
Teenager wearing a Freddy Kreuger hat: King Ghidorah! Everybody run!
King Ghidorah walks around Tokyo, destroying buildings with his Gravity Beams and stomping on people trying to flee, all the while roaring loudly. Suddenly, a fireball hits King Ghidorah square in the chest. The King of Terror looks up, surprised. Who dares challenge him? There, standing in front of King Ghidorah, is a giant turtle monster. This is the Guardian of the Universe, Gamera.
The two Titans try to stare each other down. Finally, when it appears that neither one will be backing down, they roar, signifying the start of the battle.
Gamera hits King Ghidorah with a few Hard Slaps, but king Ghidorah just looks at the turtle titan, wondering what that was supposed to accomplish.
Gamera tries to stab King Ghidorah with his elbow spikes, but King Ghidorah counters this with a head-slap. Gamera then uses a good, old-fashioned Lashing Claw which successfully tears into King Ghidorah's chest, but the Demon of the Galaxy spits his Gravity Beams at Gamera. However, Gamera dodges the Gravity Beams and shoots a Plasma Fireball, connecting with the Gravity Beams.
The explosion was big, but both Kaiju were still standing. King Ghidorah was visibly injured, and tried to fly away. However, Gamera would not have it, and took off after the three-headed monster, spinning all the way.
30,000 feet above Tokyo
Gamera was in hot pursuit of King Ghidorah, and used his Shell Cutter to slice King Ghidorah's spine, injuring the King of Terror. Gamera then stops spinning, and extends his arms and head out of his shell, the arms turning to wings. Gamera then grabs hold of King Ghidorah, using the Break Fang on the middle head, and starts pushing down. King Ghidorah realizes what's about to happen, and roars in terror.
CRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The crash landing created a crater almost destroyed all of Tokyo, turning people to dust and buildings to piles of rubble. Inside the crater, two bodies lied still.
But then, Gamera stirred. He got up, looked down at the smoking carcass of King Ghidorah, and roared victoriously.
Gamera then flies off, while King Ghidorah's carcass attracts an unwanted presence.
Results[]
Tabashi: YES! YES! HE FINALLY WON! IT WORKED! Pay up, Angel, it WORKED!
Angel: Fine, you earned it. Here's your Benjamin, all nice and crisp, like King Ghidorah's carcass.
Tabashi: I feel like there's something we didn't do, though.
Angel: How about telling why the battle ended the way it did?
Tabashi: Oh, yeah! Right! Well, King Ghidorah might have had the advantage in close-quarter style melee combat and speed (well, at least in space), but Gamera (believe it or not) had the three-headed monster outclassed in just about every other category.
Angel: Yeah, King Ghidorah's Gravity Beams may be able to travel at 337-405mph, but Gamera can react MUCH faster than that, so he can dodge them!
Tabashi: King Ghidorah may be comparable to the Showa Godzilla in sheer, brute strength (up to 73,000 metric tons), but Gamera weighs just ahead of that at 80,000 metric tons!
Angel: Also, Gamera primarily seems to fight by flight, and King Ghidorah is rather slow on Earth. He's not that durable, either.
Tabashi: After all, there IS a reason why the King of Terror encases himself in that diamond-thingy when entering Earth's atmosphere.
Angel: Well, I guess Gamera had no choice when he FIRED King Ghidorah, and it probably BURNED.
Tabashi: The winner (finally) is Gamera.
Next Time, Baby![]
Tabashi: Next time on Death Battle!
Gamera reaches his next destination: Skull Island. However, upon landing, Gamera sees two Kaiju seemingly trying to kill each other. One was Anguirus, and the other was Zilla. The three Tenacious Titans roared at each other, ready to fight.
Tenacious Titans Battle Royale! Check it out now!
Daei/Kadokawa vs. Toho! After many arguments, discussions, and debates, it's time to find out who actually, legitimately, TRULY wins this battle. No bias, no outside help, just a good, old—fashioned, one—on—one duel to the death!
Interlude[]
Tabashi: For our first Death Battle ever, we pit Gamera against the Showa King Ghidorah.
Angel: Gamera won, and then the riots started.
Tabashi: People everywhere were going nuts, saying Gamera "should've been stomped easily," and that the Showa King Ghidorah "bops Gamera out of existence."
Angel: Well, we're going to fix this TODAY, ladies and gentlemen, because we're remastering this Death Battle!
Tabashi: Now, THIS time around, the rules for last time still apply; both Kaiju will be adjusted to the height of 262 feet (80 meters), and the Showa King Ghidorah will be used. However, this time, the MonsterVerse version of King Ghidorah will be used, instead of the Showa version, like last time.
Angel: Now, you're probably thinking "Well, that's just great! They're losing their minds before the analyses even start!" Well, trust us when we say that this isn't what it looks like.
Tabashi: Yeah, there were some... recent changes... to the MonsterVerse's power, so we decided to take the opportunity to use the MonsterVerse King Ghidorah for most of our upcoming King Ghidorah fights!
Angel: He's Tabashi and I'm Angel!
Tabashi: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who wins our first ever remastered Death Battle!
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. Also, fun fact: Plasma has an energy density of 10 Gigajoules, or 2.390057361377 (~2.4) Tons of TNT, per cubic meter. 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. According to some anatomy images of Gamera, this means he should be able to lift at least 50,000 metric tons! Okay, forget what I said about Toho automatically having the strength advantage, because that's FAR stronger than the original Godzilla’s bridge feat!
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!
King Ghidorah[]
Tabashi: At least 250,000,000 years ago, there were many Titans ruling over Earth, including Godzilla, Behemoth, Mothra, Methuselah, Rodan, and Scylla. We all know this. It's just your standard Godzilla story.
Angel: But I'll bet what you DIDN'T know is that at some point before the Permian Extinction Event occurred, a great evil descended on our planet, hell—bent on colonizing it in his own image. We speak, of course, of the one, the only, the Legendary King Ghidorah!
Tabashi: This version of the Three—Headed Monster was meant to be a rival alpha to Godzilla, and so they fought for a hell of a long time. However, King Ghidorah was eventually defeated when he became trapped in Antarctica, remaining frozen for all those millions of years. And in 2016, a Monarch team lead by Vivienne Grahm discovered King Ghidorah's frozen ass, giving him the title "Monster Zero."
Angel: Eventually, King Ghidorah was freed of his icy confinement, and fought Godzilla three separate times. King Ghidorah even managed to WIN the first encounter!
Tabashi: But, of course, King Ghidorah was eventually defeated, and... may or may not be dead? I don't know, that damn post—credits scene made it kind of ambiguous!
Angel: And he has all the mightiness to be deemed worthy of being a rival alpha to Godzilla, too! After all, this version of King Ghidorah stands at a casual 521 feet tall and weighs in at a whopping 141,056 metric tons! God damn, that EASILY puts him at the largest and heaviest member of the entire Ghidorah Family!
Tabashi: Fun fact: The MonsterVerse King Ghidorah is not only the heaviest member of the Ghidorah Family, but also the 7th—heaviest Kaiju in the Godzilla franchise, being edged out only by Super MechaGodzilla, M.O.G.U.E.R.A., Biollante's final form, Bagan's final form, Magita, and SpaceGodzilla's flying form.
Angel: Huh, the more you know! Well, anyways, because of his sheer size, the MonsterVerse King Ghidorah has a GPE yield of about 53 Tons of TNT. I guess we should get straight down to this guy's abilities, right?
Tabashi: Yeah, 'cause there's going to be a LOT of science involved in the explanations as to why this King Ghidorah's abilities are so bat—shit crazy!
Angel: (Groans) F@%k, why can't we ever NOT have a scientific explanation for someone's abilities!?
Tabashi: Well, this is what you get for signing up for a job that dives quite deep in order to find ANY SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION POSSIBLE!
Angel: Alright, no sense in putting it off. Well, what level of bat—shit crazy are we talking about, if the scale ranged from Destoroyah to Barugon?
Tabashi: Definitely right in between. Although, now that I think about it, they're probably closer to Destoroyah's level in that they're so plentiful.
Angel: Oh. F@#%$&*K!!! Well, let's just start with his flight, then. How crazy can that be?
Tabashi: (Inhales like Gamera in the 2015 short film)
Angel: Oh shit.
Tabashi: Okay, so the MonsterVerse King Ghidorah's muscle tendons inside those huge—ass wings of his are actually incredibly hyper—tensile, which allows their massive aerodynamics to be able to generate hurricane—force winds when flying.
Angel: Well, no shit! I mean, he's a Kaiju. What'd you expect?!
Tabashi: No, it's literal this time. King Ghidorah's body has something called "electro—receptor" molecular biology, so when that combines with the water vapor in the air, it gets superheated, creating a localized storm system as King Ghidorah flies. This process is called "Meteorokinesis," and it's not good for the planet!
Angel: Okay, what?
Tabashi: Basically, King Ghidorah's flight can generate Category 6 Hurricanes.
Angel: Holy hell! The power of this King Ghidorah's flight is so great, in fact, that as a result, "the stratosphere would be torn open by an otherworldly tempest of thunder and lightning Earth's sky has never seen." These storms also seemingly evolve the longer King Ghidorah was free of his icy prison. I mean, the weather went from mere winds and nigh—constant claps of thunder and flashes of lightning in Antarctica to a Tropical Storm the size of God damn CENTRAL AMERICA, to the Category 6 Hurricane we're all familiar with!
Tabashi: These storms also produced smaller tornadoes or water spouts in his immediate surroundings, which may or may not be radiation—influenced, given how the lightning's color changed from yellow to blue, reportedly due to Godzilla's presence.
Angel: Such drama queens!
Tabashi: Well, that is actually possible. Anyways, with all we've just said, King Ghidorah has to be flying super damn fast, right? I mean, WAY over Mach 3 (the baseline for all other incarnations)? Well, think again! Apparently, the MonsterVerse King Ghidorah can only fly at a speed of 550 knots, or Mach 0.8 (~633mph). Luckily for the Death Song of Three Storms, though, his lardass weight gives him a Kinetic Energy yield of 1.3 Kilotons of TNT!
Angel: Wow. Unfortunately for Earth, though, King Ghidorah's not just all muscle and electricity. He's also incredibly rich, because it's been theorized that he's got Aurum. What's Aurum, you may ask? Why, it's gold, of course! And the gold acts as a conductor capable of carrying bio—electrical currents throughout his body. What the hell am I saying right now!?
Tabashi: Well, the gold allows King Ghidorah to conduct electricity through his body in different ways. To put it simply, if you want to survive just TOUCHING King Ghidorah's skin, you're going to need a LOT more than a few rubber suits to protect you from the shock!
Angel: Oh, I get it now. And those "different ways" we're talking about include two things: the Gravity Beams and Wing Lightning! The Gravity Beams of this King Ghidorah are bio—electrical, and powerful enough to easily tear through buildings and vaporize humans better than the snap from Avengers: Infinity War EVER could!!
Tabashi: With just one shot (fired from one head only), Rodan's molten ass was sent packing to the ocean, and a 6—second long concentrated barrage (from all three heads this time) was able to disintegrate Mothra, though it should be noted that she was weakened from her battle with Rodan moments earlier.
Angel: Those lightning—like golden rods were also able to push back the 99,634—metric ton Godzilla off the ice in their first fight in Antarctica, but aside from being pushed around, the King of the Monsters suffered no lasting damage.
Tabashi: The False King can charge his Gravity Beams in about 7—8 seconds at the very most, which is far faster than Godzilla charging up his Atomic Breath. They can also generate a great amount of static electricity, as it shorted out the circuits of all nearby electronics in Antarctica.
Angel: Then there's the Wing Lightning, which can only be achieved once King Ghidorah absorbs a massive amount of energy (and adds it to his own power). However, this lightning was able to disable many of the aircraft and electronics in Boston, and temporarily blind (even stun) Godzilla. Hell, this attack was so powerful, it even damaged King Ghidorah HIMSELF!! But his regeneration healed those little holes in his wings in 3- seconds.
Tabashi: Also, Upon biting down on his foes, King Ghidorah essentially turns himself into a Three-Headed Vampire of sorts, as he can siphon energy from his foes, similarly to the Anime Ghidorah and Kaiser Ghidorah.
Angel: The Death Song of Three Storms was able to absorb both electricity from Boston's power grid and Mothra's sacrificial radiation, which was in the process of converting Godzilla into his Fire Godzilla form. Question, T: If King Ghidorah was able to absorb some of Fire Godzilla's energy, then why was he so damn vulnerable to those Thermo-Nuclear Pulses?
Tabashi: I... honestly don't know, now that I think about it. I mean, to be fair, it DID take three of those T-NPs to put KG down, so I guess that energy he siphoned must've helped him resist them to an extent. Otherwise, I'd just chalk it up to a case of PIS (Plot Induced Stupidity).
Angel: Well, then again, the final T-NP (which was the most powerful one released) was calculated to yield around 40 Petatons—9 Exatons of TNT (which is 13.3—2,988x more powerful than the MonsterVerse Oxygen Destroyer Missile, which was calculated to yield 3.0117 Petatons of TNT), so that could be the sole explanation.
Tabashi: Anyways, according to some cranial scans, each one of King Ghidorah's heads has its disparate level of cognitive function, which includes an individual personality, and possibly even independent thought. In fact, the left head was named "Kevin" by the internet because of how stupidly curious he was. Shall we name the other two heads?
Angel: Sure, why not? Let's see here, since the left one's named Kevin, Stuart and Bob come readily to mind.
Tabashi: Minions?
Angel: Minions.
Tabashi: Well, since the middle head is the most intelligent, we'll call him Stuart, after my cousin.
Angel: So the right one (who's the most insane) will be called Bob? I like it!
Tabashi: Good. Kevin, Stuart, and Bob it is. Anyways, King Ghidorah demonstrated his intelligence a few times, such as when he bit down on the electrical station and siphoned Boston's power grid, since he knew he couldn't overpower Godzilla in the powered-up state the King of the Monsters was in.
Angel: Also, KG knew Godzilla was behind him when Bob saw his reflection in the building Mothra's silk had just trapped Kevin and Stuart onto. Realizing he was overwhelmed by the King and Queen's combined might, the False King wisely called Rodan in to occupy Mothra while he dealt with Godzilla. And finally, King Ghidorah knew the ORCA's frequencies were a threat (since, King Ghidorah probably presumed, they could potentially turn the other Titans against him), so he tried to destroy the Fenway Park speakers to cut off the sound before it was too late.
Tabashi: Spoiler alert, it was too late, for the second they heard the ORCA's frequency, the other Titans started heading towards Boston. Anyways, besides his Gravity Beams, Wing Lightning, and energy siphoning, the Death Song of Three Storms is great at melee combat. As a replacement for having no arms, King Ghidorah uses each of his necks to grapple with/restrain an opponent.
Angel: This was shown when he was getting pushed around by Godzilla, and countered by chomping down on Godzilla's arms and neck, lifting him up off the ground a bit, and slammed/dragged the King of the Monsters across the ground. This was also shown earlier on, when he restrained the 39,043-metric ton Rodan from flying away. And besides his necks, the False King can use his prehensile tails to trip or restrain an opponent.
Tabashi: This was displayed when he grabbed Godzilla (who weighs 99,634 metric tons), flew him just above the clouds caused by his hurricane. Based on another calculation we'll get to in a bit, the hurricane's about 20.7264 kilometers tall, and since King Ghidorah flew Godzilla just above those clouds, we'll say 21 kilometers. By timing out the time it took Godzilla to hit the ground (which was 16 seconds), we found out he must've been travelling at ~2,936mph.
Angel: By factoring that speed and his 99,634-metric ton weight, we found the Kinetic Energy yield to be around 21 Kilotons of TNT. Huh, kinda makes me wonder if that description of Godzilla's Atomic Breath on Wikizilla was right....
Tabashi: By that logic, Godzilla wouldn't have survived the Permian Extinction Meteor, which has been calculated again and again, eventually being said to yield 367.2 Megatons on the low end, 1.5 Gigatons on the mid end, and 682 Gigatons on the high end! We'll just go with the high end, though, since it's the most likely scenario.
Angel: Anyways, on the ends of King Ghidorah's tails are dozens of spikes that could be used to slice an opponent to shreds, but so far he's only used them for his intimidation display. But let's move on to the thing I'm sure everyone wants to hear us explain: King Ghidorah's regeneration.
Tabashi: And here's what we have to say: he can't regenerate!
Angel: Now, that's a straight-up LIE! We all saw KG regenerate Kevin's head in about 15-16 seconds, so obviously he can regenerate!
Tabashi: Well, let me rephrase that. King Ghidorah CAN regenerate, but only while he's absorbing energy! No, I'm not kidding! This fact was actually CONFIRMED by the director of Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Michael Dougherty. Here's what he had to say: "When one of King Ghidorah's heads is severed and a new one grows, the newly regenerated head retains the personality and memories of the old one."
Angel: And for you real nerds out there, there's this: "Most of King Ghidorah's neurons are scattered throughout his body and limbs, much like an octopus. However, he needs to be absorbing energy in order to do this." Also, by the way, that energy Mr. Dougherty's referring to is electricity and radiation.
Tabashi: King Ghidorah's feats include fighting Godzilla multiple times (and defeating him in their first encounter), easily giving Rodan an ass whuppin', and also surviving the touch of the Fire Demon, whose magma combustion system is said to be able to reach temperatures of up to 2,192°F (1,200°C). The Death Song of Three Storms was also able to survive Fire Godzilla's "aura", which we calculated to be able to reach (at the absolute least) 192,677-229,532°F (107,025-127,500°C)! However, KG did visibly recoil as Fire Godzilla got closer to him, so we're thinking the high-end temperature is the upper limit for his resistance to heat.
Angel: King Ghidorah, after absorbing Boston's power grid, managed to vaporize Mothra, who was in a weakened state after her battle with Rodan, with a 6-second barrage of all three heads firing their Gravity Beams. That bastard!
Tabashi: And speaking of Boston's power grid, I felt bored, so I decided to try to calculate how much energy King Ghidorah really absorbed. It wasn't that hard, really.
Angel: How'd you do it?
Tabashi: (Inhales like the 2015 Gamera again)
Angel: Not again.
Tabashi: So first, I looked up how much energy is needed to power the city of Boston. I ended up getting 55.3 TeraWatt hours, and since I want the highest output, let's just assume Boston didn't have any power outages in the 24 hours leading up to the finale of King of the Monsters. By multiplying 55.3 by 24, I got 1,327.2 TeraWatt hours. If we run that through an energy converter, that gives us our total jackpot of 1.141950286807 (~1.1) Gigatons of TNT.
Angel: Impressive. And King Ghidorah added that power to his own, so that translates to 683 Gigatons of TNT. Also, what about that scene where Godzilla and King Ghidorah both charge each other at the same time? Couldn't we find King Ghidorah's speed from that scene?
Tabashi: Well, I certainly don't know how, but my guess is that it's right around Godzilla's own running speed of 307-425mph. However, given the fact that King Ghidorah is a bit slower than the other Titans due to his lardass weight, it might be more on the low-end side. But the KE is still impressive at least, being 316.5-607.3 Tons of TNT!
Angel: Anyways, the Alpha Call, in what is arguably the MonsterVerse King Ghidorah's most famous feat, managed to not only be heard around the world, but also took control of all the Titans, including Rodan! However, it does NOT include Godzilla, Mothra, and King Kong, since they're all Alphas like King Ghidorah!
Tabashi: Actually, the Alpha Call is NOT LegendaryGhido's most famous feat. His most famous feat IS, in fact, creating a Category 6 Hurricane! This "Main 'Cane," as we established earlier, was produced by King Ghidorah's flight. However, the energy given off/KE by this thing is equal to 405 Gigatons-62.3 Teratons of TNT! God DAMN that's powerful!
Angel: Well, that's not all! Apparently, he survived the 3-Petaton Oxygen Destroyer Missile just by not needing to breathe. And his Meteorokinesis produced a whople shitload of other feats!
Tabashi: In addition to producing Tornadoes, water spouts, and Category 6 Hurricanes, news reports mention that while he was the ruling Alpha, KG was creating massive storms that were actually separate from his Main 'Cane.
Angel: These storms would've ended up reshaping the world to King Ghidorah's liking, and the Main 'Cane would've... uh...
Tabashi: Evolved into a super-cell that'd not only produce smaller hurricanes, but could eventually blanket the Earth and kill everything if left unchecked. Even the Titans under his control!
Angel: Luckily, though, the False King was defeated by Godzilla, mostly thanks to two things: Godzilla's Fire form, and the fact that the MonsterVerse King Ghidorah, contrary to popular belief, is not invincible. In other words, he does have weaknesses.
Tabashi: Right. Due to his malicious nature, King Ghidorah has a habit of playing Cat-and-Mouse with his opponents. And if he's going up against an opponent that's just as strong as him, that tactic can get dangerous pretty damn quick! Also, because of his lardass weight and slow speed, King Ghidorah is more of a heavy flyer, preferring to use his strength and ferocity to win an aerial assault.
Angel: And speaking of elements, King Ghidorah sorely SUCKS at underwater combat! I mean, he'd probably be safe from drowning, given that he doesn't require oxygen to survive, but it was outright CONFIRMED by Michael Dougherty that if it wasn't for that damn 3-Petaton yielding Oxygen Destroyer Missile, Godzilla would've won that fight.
Tabashi: I knew it all along! I tried to tell people, but they wouldn't listen!
Angel: And in addition to those, King Ghidorah's worldwide weather wackiness takes time, as does his regeneration. And since Kevin, Stuart, and Bob each have independent thought, they might argue and bicker with one another like siblings from time to time.
Tabashi: But let's not forget the False King's biggest weakness: extreme temperatures! Like Destoroyah before him, LegendaryGhido is especially vulnerable to very hot and very cold temperatures, but unlike the Terror Incarnate, the Death Song of Three Storms is more tolerant to cold than heat!
Angel: Yeah, he was defeated when Godzilla froze his ass down in Antarctica, but at least he was alive. In the case of hot temperatures, King Ghidorah's wings, left and right heads, and body were all incinerated quite easily by the Thermo-Nuclear Pulses (in a matter of 3-4 seconds, to be exact).
Tabashi: Oh yeah, and even Alphas aren't safe from being distracted by the ORCA's Alpha Frequency. And while Stuart could survive being reduced to just him, he sure as hell ain't going to be doing anything until he regenerates the rest of himself back! And lastly, the Main 'Cane around Boston was dissipated by Fire Godzilla's Thermo-Nuclear Pulse.
Angel: But still, without complete vaporization, the MonsterVerse King Ghidorah may yet return. You'd better start packin' your bags and start looking for a new planet when the Death Song of Three Storms arrives!
Death Battle![]
Tabashi: All righty then. The combatants are set, and we've run the data through all possibilities. Let's TRULY end this once and for all!
Angel: It's time... for a DEATH BATTLE!!!!!
Pre—Fight[]
Antarctica
Ah, Antarctica. One of the least explored known places on the planet. It was also home to two Kaiju that (hundreds of millions of years ago) participated in a cataclysmic-scale event that damn near wiped out all of the Mythos! And it was thanks to the same two lovers that CAUSED the event in the first place that the two Kaiju were now sealed in the ice together, forever locked in a planetary-scale threat of a struggle. Both lovers paid an enormous price (one got the physical end and the other got the emotional end), and it stayed that way until time ended.
Well, until time ended... and was recreated when someone very critical to this Mythos' existence got pissed off beyond belief and recreated a nigh-exact replica of the original Mythos. It was very similar, except for one little thing: it consisted of only a single Verse, rather than the diversity of the old one.
Oh, and speaking of that someone, here he comes now, all decked out in a new form! It's transparent, yet navy-violet in color, and had no mouth. All it really has is a barely visible nose and two glowing white circles for eyes. The form looks beautiful and menacing at the same time.
God-Teen: This is NOT a new form! I've looked like this since I came into existence! I just can't fully access it without the presence of Anti-Energy!
Okay, okay, slow down there, muchacho. I don't want to confuse them TOO much... yet. They're probably confused as to why/how we're communicating with each other. Let's just get back to the Pre-Fight, okay?
God-Teen: Fine, but don't come crying to me when everyone who reads this asks you what Anti-Energy is supposed to be!
Fair enough. Anyways, God-Teen was flying (well, that's the best way to describe it, anyway) close to the icy surface, looking for the aforementioned Kaiju. I have to right the wrongs of the past, he thought to himself. Even if it means the end of my existence, I MUST free her!
God-Teen, fortunately,is not bound by the laws of physics and reality, and therefore doesn't even notice the freezing temperature and snowy flurries that constantly whipped through (yes, through) him. He kept at this for what seemed like months (but was actually only about a half hour), looking at the entire surface of Antarctica. Finally, God-Teen found what he was looking for, stopping mid-flight.
God-Teen saw the two Kaiju locked in their struggle, but he was more focused on someone else: his lover, trapped in the center of the two Titanic Titans. Ella! he exclaimed in his head. She's alive! Well, I better get her out of there!
God-Teen then did something even the writer himself did not expect: he raised his arm in an upward motion (similarly to Luke Skywalker and Eleven)... and then the surface began to crack. Then, the surface around God-Teen crumbled, being replaced by a block of ice more than 500 meters long, wide, and tall. God-Teen then punched a hole through the ice, making his way to Ella. As he did, he started radiating heat, increasing 2°F every second.
After about 1 minute, the alien-like deity reached his companion, and took her out of the icy prison. As Ella slowly regained consciousness, God-Teen looked at her, and held her close, for she needed to get warm pretty damn quick after being stuck in an ice cube for hundreds of millions of years! As the girl opened her eyes, she looked up at him, and she was not at all surprised to see this alien-looking creature.
Ella: Am I... is that you, T?
God-Teen: Yeah, Ella. It's me. I finally fixed the mistake.
Ella: You did? Which one was it?
God-Teen: Leaving you in that iceberg all that time.
Ella smiled, and God-Teen was happy. But it didn't last very long, for when G-T had punched that hole and radiated heat, it caused the ice block to begin cracking. When the cracks started to be heard, the two knew they had to get out of there fast.
God-Teen: Okay, hold on to me.
Ella: You know I will.
God-Teen then hovered off the ground, preparing to leave, but stopped at the last second. He raised the giant block of ice off the ground once more, and launched it straight down the hole it came from. There was a booming sound, followed by a shattering noise and two thumps that could only have been caused by the two Kaiju.
Ella: Why did you do THAT!? They might've still been frozen!
God-Teen: Maybe, but we're WAY behind schedule here, so they need to start fighting ASAP.
All of a sudden, a loud roar sliced through the silence, although it sounded more like a bell ringing than a roar. Then another roar (this one sounding MUCH more like a roar) sounded from the ice hole, and it sounded closer than the other roar. As Ella and God-Teen watched, an enormous hand appeared and grasped the top of the ice, pulling up everything else. A head emerged, then another hand, and finally a shell, tail, and legs. The Kaiju was then revealed to be Turtle-like in appearance, with spear-like tusks on his elbows and calves, as well as two colossal tusks which protruded from his mouth.
This Turtle Titan was none other than Gamera, the Guardian of the Universe, and he seemed particularly pissed off about his adversary being free. Gamera let loose a stream of Fire Breath into the ice hole, which was met with a screech of pain before the hole exploded! The combination of fire and ice created steam—a LOT of steam—so no one could see whether the Dragon Kaiju had died, but God-Teen knew it wasn't. Gamera waited patiently for... something... and got his wish when there was a loud beating of wings, and something—the Dragon Kaiju, obviously—shot out of the hole and landed on the ice, dispersing the steam a bit. When the Dragon stood to his full height, he flapped his wings, dispersing what was left of the steam.
The Dragon, upon further inspection, was revealed to be gold in color, with three heads, no arms, and wings that were easily twice its body height. It was, of course, the infamous King Ghidorah, the Death Song of Three Storms, and he was ready to finally colonize this planet. All he now needed to do was get rid of this Turtle, which King Ghidorah was more than happy to do.
God-Teen: Okay, NOW we should leave!
Ella: Where are we going?
God-Teen: New Nork. Something tells me I know where they're going to be ending up.
As Ella and God-Teen left, King Ghidorah performed his intimidation display, rattling his tails and hissing at Gamera. The Guardian of the Universe simply responded by seemingly lighting a fire in his mouth before glaring at King Ghidorah. King Ghidorah got pissed off at Gamera's mocking intimidation display, and then the fighting began.
Round 1: Open Land[]
Gamera performed a few Hard Slaps, but King Ghidorah simply shrugs them off and bites down on the Guardian of the Universe. Gamera roars in pain and performed the Break Fang on Stuart, who screamed as the Turtle Titan's tusks broke through the Dragon's skin and drew blood. Gamera noticed something as the blood flowed into his mouth. There's an overabundance of electricity in his DNA, Gamera thought. Maybe if I get cut, I could absorb some of that!
Unfortunately, Gamera would get his wish in a way, when Kevin and Bob bit down on Gamera's arms and fired their Gravity Beams right into them. Gamera wasn't really harmed, of course, because his blood absorbed the electricity, but King Ghidorah was more pissed than shocked. King Ghidorah decided to try absorbing Gamera's energy, but upon biting down on Gamera and searching for any energy, the only thing KG found that he could absorb was some spare magma. Gamera wanted this dragon off of him, so he fired a Plasma Fireball... which managed to sever Stuart off the body.
Kevin and Bob were stunned. Never before had Stuart been the one to get decapitated! Kevin? Sure, all the God damn time. Bob? Maybe, on occasion. But Stuart? NEVER before!! And yet it happened, clear as day. For a few seconds, no one moved. How could they, for they were too amazed with what just happened!
Gamera recovered first, letting loose a High Plasma he'd been charging up. Luckily, the Death Song of Three Storms managed to dodge it in the nick of time. As a response, Kevin and Bob charged up their Gravity Beams and let them loose, hitting Gamera square in the chest and pushing him back. Gamera tried to stop himself from falling off the ice, and sort of did by landing on his back instead.
King Ghidorah realized something: Gamera seemed to be an Alpha Titan, just like him and Godzilla. That meant he could be a threat to King Ghidorah should he manage to take control of the Titans and colonize Earth, and that meant the Turtle Titan had to be eliminated, for there was simply no other option. Unfortunately for King Ghidorah (who had begun regenerating Stuart a while ago), he also thought Gamera was EXACTLY like Godzilla, which meant KG thought Gamera couldn't fly. So when Gamera landed on his back, King Ghidorah thought Gamera was trapped, but Gamera wasn't about to let the Dragon get an advantage over him, so he retracted his limbs into his his shell and began spewing rockets out of the holes. Gamera's body began rotating slowly at first, then faster and faster, until he slowly rose into the air.
King Ghidorah, Stuart now having been fully regenerated, was getting fed up with this Turtle's tricks, and let loose a barrage of Gravity Beams that... MISSED EASILY!? Gamera easily dodged the Gravity Beams, and tackled King Ghidorah, knocking the Death Song of Three Storms on his ass. Gamera then took flight an left, leaving a perplexed King Ghidorah still on the ice. Monster Zero realized it might be time to get out into the world, and took flight, activating his Meteorokinesis. The Death Song of Three Storms took off after the Guardian of the Universe, who was seemingly headed out to sea.
Round 2: Air[]
South Atlantic Ocean
Gamera was already at the spot where the North and South Atlantic met, but King Ghidorah was... not quite as fast. King Ghidorah and (unbeknownst to Gamera) his Category 6 Hurricane were a sizable distance behind Gamera, but they were still coming. Gamera knew he'd lose his opponent if this "chase" lasted much longer, so he made a sharp u-turn to head back... and what he saw terrified him. The storm was so utterly large and thick with clouds, Gamera couldn't even see KG through it! But he needn't have worried about that, for King Ghidorah DID emerge from his Main 'Cane, his feet extended out as if to kick Gamera out of the sky. Gamera knew he had to hit his opponent hard, so he brought out his head and arms (which extended out into makeshift wings) and increased his speed to its maximum (well, on Earth, anyway), charging straight into King Ghidorah.
The result of the Guardian of the Universe and the Death Song of Three Storms colliding was fascinating. King Ghidorah was actually forced back, but this was more due to his sheer surprise of Gamera's speed than the Turtle Titan's KE. As a result of King Ghidorah being forced back, however, the two Titans were now tumbling into KG's Cat-6 Hurricane. Lightning practically poured down from out of seemingly nowhere as Gamera and King Ghidorah tried to restrain each other. Gamera used a Lashing Claw (which sort of tore open KG's chest), a few Hard Slaps (which ultimately did nothing), and even retracted back into his shell to perform the Shell Cutter on the sort-of-torn-open chest wound. King Ghidorah roared more in rage than pain, and blasted Gamera with a barrage of Gravity Beams (which, like the Hard Slaps, ultimately accomplished nothing).
While all this was going on, Gamera was thinking, working on a strategy he could use to defeat King Ghidorah. This Dragon has got to have some weakness! Gamera thought. I mean, I know he doesn't like extreme heat, but I hit him up close and it did nothing to deter him! What am I missing!? And then Gamera poked his head out of his shell just a bit, to get a good look at the False King. As soon as he did that, it became quite obvious what he must do.
Of course! Why didn't I think of this earlier? he exclaimed in his head. He's mainly built for aerial assaults, so if I somehow get him underwater, he'll be practically powerless! Gamera then recalled his battle with Zigra, how much better the Alien Fish did underwater in comparison to on land. I STILL have those scars on my chest! he thought. Let's just hope this battle won't leave any dents like that.
Gamera then brought his head and arms back out, his arms already formed into makeshift wings. Gamera stopped his rotation and (much to the surprise of King Ghidorah) flew upwards. KG watched as Gamera skyrocketed up until he was above the Hurricane's walls, then make a u-turn and hurl back down towards Monster Zero. Gamera had been charging up a High Plasma on the way up, and he fired it at King Ghidorah. The High Plasma was moving too fast for KG to react, and it scored a dead center hit on the slowly-but-surely-healing chest wound. Monster Zero was in so much pain from the sheer temperature of the High Plasma that he stopped flying and began falling towards the ocean. His regeneration was kicking in (albeit slowly), snapping King Ghidorah out of his trance. However, it was too late for the Three-Headed Dragon, for Gamera had now slammed into him from behind, plunging them both into the ocean.
Round 3: Water[]
When Gamera and King Ghidorah landed in the water, King Ghidorah immediately tried to get back in the air, but Gamera already had sprung into action. Gamera started swimming towards Monster Zero, who was oddly not panicking nearly as much as Gamera thought he would be. When KG roared at Gamera (and no bubbles came out), Gamera immediately understood why. He's an alien, Gamera thought. That's the only logical explanation, because someone built like that shouldn't be able to survive underwater.
Gamera then surprised King Ghidorah by using his regular Fire Breath underwater. Granted, it hurt a lot less than Gamera's other fire-oriented attacks, but it was still painful for King Ghidorah who screeched in pain and let loose his Gravity Beams. The Gravity Beams managed to hit Gamera this time, and he roared in pain as his left arm started bleeding. King Ghidorah knew he had to get out of the water, but before he could, Gamera tackled him before he could. The two Titans began an underwater melee struggle, with the Death Song of Three Storms managing to land a couple hits on the Guardian of the Universe.
North Atlantic Ocean
Gamera wasn't done just yet, though, and broke from the melee struggle to swim around King Ghidorah repeatedly, blasting his Fire Breath and slowly (but surely) harming King Ghidorah faster than his healing factor could repair the damage. For every wound that'd heal, two more would take its place. The False King knew he was in deep shit if he didn't get out of the water, so he grabbed Gamera with all three heads, leapt up, and launched out of the ocean. King Ghidorah then launched Gamera up in the air, charged up, and bombarded the Turtle Titan with a barrage of Gravity Beams. Well, he tried to, that is, but Gamera easily dodged the golden lightning this time.
Gamera took in his new surroundings, trying to see if he could gain any advantage at all. All Gamera saw was Brooklyn and Manhattan, so the Guardian of the Universe flew towards them, knowing there would be bloodshed today. The Death Song of Three Storms followed close behind, his Main 'Cane swirling behind (and eventually enveloping) him.
Round 4: City[]
After leaving Antarctica, God-Teen and Ella had travelled to New York in just 1/100 of a second, and together, they'd convinced the police to call the army, who ordered a mass evacuation of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The Army and Navy were sent to transport everyone out of there, but God-Teen was making the most progress, carrying dozens of groups with his telekinesis and even lifting up hundreds more with some enormous slabs of concrete. The evacuation lasted about an hour, and it's a good thing it did, too, because just as God-Teen set the last civilians down, the weather started changing. At first, it simply went from being sunny to very cloudy, but next it started to rain. Then the lightning came down, seemingly hell-bent on hitting something. God-Teen found Ella and went back to Manhattan.
God-Teen: They're here.
Ella: What do we do now?
God-Teen: The only thing we can. We watch and hope.
As if on que, a Gravity Beam slammed into the ground just mere feet from where the lovers were, knocking both off their feet. God-Teen, of course, recovered quickly, and got right back on his feet. But when he looked over at Ella, all he saw was her unconscious body lying in some rubble. God-Teen looked up, and saw King Ghidorah landing on the ground. King Ghidorah looked straight at God-Teen (and some even say he sneered at God-Teen with malicious intent!).
God-Teen: I don't care about who you are, or what you can do. And I sure as hell don't care about my rule! If you hurt my lady, then I'm afraid you'll never be dead enough!
Just as God-Teen was about to do something he'd seriously regret, though, a High Plasma burst through the Hurricane's cloudy walls and slammed straight into King Ghidorah's back. The False King fell forward from the pain of the heat, instantly knowing who was behind the attack. KG's suspicions were proven right when Gamera himself burst through the clouds, shooting High Plasmas seemingly everywhere. King Ghidorah, now back on his feet, managed to dodge the High Plasmas that came his way as the Guardian of the Universe circled the Death Song of Three Storms like Bruce when he spots a human in the water. Gamera then landed a few dozen feet away from King Ghidorah and started walking towards him, preparing for some more melee combat.
Gamera let loose another High Plasma, but King Ghidorah evaded it and bit down on Gamera's arms and throat. Gamera couldn't break free of Monster Zero's grips this time, so he tried to use his Elbow Spikes to stab into Kevin's neck. King Ghidorah saw that coming, though, and Kevin and Bob chomped on Gamera's right hand and forearm, respectively. Gamera wailed in pain, but he could do nothing as Stuart had him restrained at the throat. Kevin and Bob then pulled with all their might, and Gamera's right forearm was ripped from its place.
Gamera hadn't felt this kind of pain in 22 years. It was a pain that he had tolerated last time, but not today. Today, Gamera's resulting wail of pain was so loud, it put the Alpha Call's audible radius to shame! It was heard all around the world, awakening a whole lot of Kaiju from their slumbers, including a seriously pissed off King and Queen. But that's another story....
Gamera stumbled backwards a few steps, holding his stump and groaning occasionally. King Ghidorah blasted Gamera with his Gravity Beams, but Gamera wisely blocked them with his stump, his blood absorbing the energy. Gamera then hit his stump with a High Plasma, creating the Vanishing/Banishing Fist. Gamera rushed King Ghidorah (appearing as practically a blur to Monster Zero), and hit the Death Song of Three Storms square in the chest and creating an explosion that was visible for miles and dispersed KG's storm. It seemed the battle was at last over, for when the smoke cleared, the only things left standing were God-Teen, Ella, and Gamera (his stump regenerating slowly).
Uuuuhhh... K.O.?
King Ghidorah's smoking carcass was resting on the ground a few hundred feet away from Gamera and his tiny allies, but somehow (against all odds) he was still alive. Stuart raised his head ever so slightly and looked around for any power source to absorb. At last, Stuart's eyes fell upon a downed power line, seemingly sliced in half and sparking at one of the ends. It extended about 2,000 feet, and on the other end was a generator seemingly overloaded with electricity. Stuart saw all this, and practically swallowed the wire in his frenzy to get to it. Gamera heard this, but didn't know what was happening.
By the time Gamera turned around, though, it was too late, for Stuart had now absorbed all the energy. Monster Zero's body began regenerating—fast—and the False King stood to his feet, sneered at Gamera, and released his Wing Lightning. It stretched many kilometers into the air, and split off several dozen times, most of the bolts hitting Gamera. The Guardian of the Universe was forced back, as the light from the attack was too intense, and KG took full advantage of this by running towards Gamera (with speeds far faster than he thought he could go) and discharging a barrage of powered-up Gravity Beams, knocking the Guardian of the Universe on his back again. Gamera got back up, sent the Death Song of Three Storms reeling with a Plasma Fireball, and started preparing for his ultimate attack.
I'm out of options, Gamera thought. There's simply no other option!
Gamera raised his arms up (similarly to Magneto and Ultron) and began summoning Mana from the Earth. King Ghidorah watched with curiosity, wondering just what trick this Turtle had up his stump now. Gamera had finished charging up by now, and his Plastron (the stomach cavity) opened up, ready to initiate the Mana Canon. King Ghidorah sensed this attack was as threatening as Godzilla's Fire form, but he stood his ground, for no one had ever known the Death Song of Three Storms to be a coward! Gamera's Mana Canon finally expelled outwards, vaporizing everything in its path until it reached King Ghidorah.
King Ghidorah tried to match the Mana Canon with his powered-up Gravity Beams, but even in their most powerful state, they failed miserably to overtake the massive Mana onslaught. King Ghidorah, panicking now, attempted to block the stream with his wings, but in just 2 seconds, they were reduced to bones. KG was now defenseless as the Mana Canon's firepower enveloped him, reducing just about everything to ashes.
Real K.O.?
After the Mana Canon died down, the sun started to rise, and the city's ruins sparkled. Then, some rubble began to shake and crumble. The rubble then fell away to reveal Stuart had SOMEHOW survived the destruction of his wings, siblings, and body! But Gamera saw this, and stomped on Stuart until he was nothing but a bloody, electricity-conducting paste.
K.O.!!!!
God-Teen: God damn! That was brutal!
Ella: We need to get out of here, T!
God-Teen: Not to worry, m'lady, for I have our ticket home right here!
God-Teen then karate-chopped the air... which created an interdimensional portal. God-Teen motioned for Ella to go first, and then he went through. Gamera watched them, wondering what just happened.
Antarctica
Stuart's original head was dead, a frozen corpse lying in the snow. Suddenly, an interdimensional portal opened up, and a transparent (yet navy-violet colored) arm stretched out from the portal, wrapped around the frozen Stuart, and pulled him through the portal. The portal then closed.
Results[]
Tabashi: ...Holy Mother of God Almighty. I'm... honestly speechless. I wasn't even sure how to call this match.
Angel: Well, we did it. At long last, if the King Ghidorah fanboys can be so kind as to put down their pitchforks, torches, and tasers, we can finally explain who truly won this battle.
Tabashi: Okay folks, strap in for the longest explanation we'll probably ever give, because... well, it really is long.
Angel: All righty then. These two had the usual Toho vs. Daei advantages: King Ghidorah was many, MANY times stronger than Gamera (~5-24x, to be exact), so he'd obviously be able to physically overpower the Guardian of the Universe. However, he'd have to catch Gamera in order to do so, because that turtle is able to fly ~4-4.4x faster officially, and up to 11¼x faster via feats!
Tabashi: So with that alone, this one could feasibly go either way, right? WRONG, because each combatant has very specific counters for each other! Gamera's Fire Breath alone is 2.5x hotter than what Rodan leaks out of his wings, and his Plasma Fireballs are ~5.3x hotter than what King Ghidorah's been shown to resist at the very least! So really, Monster Zero should've been scorched to death at the very beginning.
Angel: But if he could survive that due to his regeneration, then Gamera would have to resort to some other strategies. Luckily, with his intelligence, Gamera could most likely figure out King Ghidorah sucks at water combat, and use that to his advantage. However, there were several problems with that, like how Gamera's swimming speeds are slower than King Ghidorah's reaction speeds, so King Ghidorah would actually manage to land a few hits on Gamera.
Tabashi: And also, because of his extraterrestrial nature, KG wouldn't be drowning underwater, so that's out. Now, the Meteorokinesis is a... questionable helper. It COULD potentially overwhelm Gamera, but it'd be unlikely.
Angel: So let me get this straight: Gamera has flight speed, intelligence, reaction speed, and the ability to exploit one of King Ghidorah's biggest weaknesses.
Tabashi: Correct.
Angel: Meanwhile, King Ghidorah takes lifting strength, regeneration, and his Meteorokinesis could potentially overwhelm Gamera.
Tabashi: Indeed.
Angel: So, how is this close?
Tabashi: Because King Ghidorah can travel ~5.5-8x faster on land (Gamera can travel at ~56mph, while King Ghidorah can travel at ~307-425mph at the very least), and like I said, his sheer healing factor is what kept him through most of the fight.
Angel: SO how did Gamera win, though?
Tabashi: Well, he probably would've won by using his Banishing/Vanishing Fist, but if King Ghidorah would've been able to absorb some energy, then he would be able to revitalize himself. And all of his stats would be multiplied by 5-5.3 repeating, but it wouldn't really matter, because Gamera's ultimate attack would be able to take care of him and overwhelm his regeneration!
Angel: The Mana Canon can let loose 989.32 Gigatons of TNT every SECOND, and since we've seen it last 20 seconds, multiply 989.32 by 20. You get 19.664 (~20) Teratons of TNT, which is more than King Ghidorah's regeneration could handle!
Tabashi: Sure, that's only about ⅓ of what King Ghidorah can generate with his Meteorokinesis (62.25 Teratons), but it doesn't exactly scale to King Ghidorah's durability. Hell, I can't even confidently say it scales to HIS direct Destructive Capacity!
Angel: And sure, both of them could absorb each other's energy, but since Gamera feeds on so many other energy sources, he'd never be fully drained of energy.
Tabashi: King Ghidorah had some advantages over Gamera, but the Guardian of the Universe had all the necessary counters to sing the Death Song of Three Storms his OWN death song!
Angel: Well, King Ghidorah may have electrified this Battle, but in the end, he just couldn't take the heat!
Tabashi: The TRUE winner is Gamera.
Next Time, Baby![]
Angel: Next Time on Death Battle!
In the Teen's secret warehouse in Downtown Tokyo, Stuart's head was being held up by some grappling hooks and examined by the Teen, Deadpool, and The Mask. Ella was busy doing some target practice with the Baby Jiger the Teen had adopted a while ago (now named Pumba, apparently).
Ella: Just what will this head be able to do for you, T?
Teen: Well, if I'm right, I should be able to make an armor that not only can absorb electrical energy, but also allow you to redirect it like King Kong did in '62!
The Mask: Why don't we just give it a spark and revitalize it? I'm sure it'd be more useful to us then!
Teen: Hell no! I think we're going to let ol' Stuart rest for a while before we do anything too—
Suddenly, an explosion rattled the entire warehouse. The Teen and Ella immediately ran to the window, with Pumba ambling behind them.
