Who do you think would win if Godzilla and Gamera fought?
In my opinion, there would be no competition. Godzilla's Atomic Ray and Spiral fire would tear Gamera apart and Gamera dosn't have Godzllas healing cells, so he would either be blasted apart, or Godzilla would out last him.
Let's compare the two combatants...
GODZILLA (Heisei 90's)
Height: 100 meters (328 feet)
Mass: 60,000 metric tons (66,000 tons)
Powers/Weapons: Atomic Ray, Super Regenerative Power, Nuclear Pulse, Spiral Fire
GAMERA (Heisei)
Height: 80 meters (262 feet)
Mass: ?
Powers/Weapons: Plasma Fireballs, Flight at Mach 3.5, Elbow Claws, Mana Blast from chest, "Plasma Fist"

Now, waitaminit.. how can you say that Gamera doesn't have healing cells when he's come back, film-after-film, perfectly intact?
Now, you COULD argue that the "graveyard of Gameras" in the third film are just like remnants of the previous Gameras.. like an assembly line.. in that case, Gamera wouldn't have healing cells.. he'd just have an endless number of clones.
But, I'd have to say Godzilla would when.. no one can ULTIMATELY beat Godzilla..
Wait.. the latest version of Mothra could kick all their asses.. nevermind.
Now hang on (this has nothing to do with the arguement, so I'll say now that Godzilla would win). I've only seen Gamera: Guardian of the Univers, so what's this "graveyard of Gameras"?
I've been missing out. Please enlighten me.
"We're going to fight fire with marshmellows."

Actually, my understanding is that the "graveyard of Gamera's" was actually just the Gamera's that weren't successfully created by the Atlantians. So in other words, they weren't true "Gamera's" in the sense of what we know as Gamera.
I actually think that the fight would be a lot closer than many people seem to think. Film after film has shown Gamera to have enormous regenerative powers, albeit not necessarily fast. Plus I think his mana conversion blast (the chest fire used in "Gamera 2: Attack of Legion" is far stonger than Godzilla's breath weapon, as Gamera completely obliterated Legion with it, as opposed to Godzilla who's breath weapon may kill opponents but doesn't obliterate them. But also, in fairness, there are a few later Godzilla movies that I have not seen (or at least don't rememeber very well). But another thing overlooked by many is the fact that Gamera seems to have mystical powers aside from just his physical ones: an example of which would be when he rechannelled Iris' energy blasts into an extention of his own arm and destroyed Iris with it. And again, Gamera doesn't just kill Iris, he obliterates it.
One problem with doing this kind of comparison is that there is no common ground; no enemies that both have faced to compare. Someone pointed out how quickly Godzilla dispatched multiple opponents in Final Wars, but in fairness, many of those monsters did not have powers that just about every Gamera foe (excet Viris, I think) seem to have.
And of course, there is the problem of which version of Godzilla vs which version of Gamera? Seeing as how even amongst the same movies of the same series, the powers are not consistant, it really becomes an impossible comparison.
Gamera doesn't need healing cells, since hes powered by children (and is the friend of all children). Therefore in a fight, Gamera would win because the children would make him win.
That being said, I think they'd be friends.
GMK Godzilla vs. Heisei Gamera, i personally feel Gamera wouldnt stand a chance, but i think it would be cool if they had an ambiguous (and really confusing ending) Like Godzilla and Kong...Another 40 years of who won!!!!!
shareGodzilla all the way!!! Just take a look at Godzilla Final Wars, he took out all of his major enemies in about an hour's running time. Gammera is no where near as powerful as Ghidra and Godzilla destroyed him pretty easily.
"Do you know what the definintion of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed." - Zoe from Serenity (Buy it on DVD today. It is bar none 2005's best film of the 64 I've seen. If you are a fan of action, comedy, sci-fi, and awesome you will love this film!)
I agree Godzilla should win, if you look at final wars, the big G kicked ass. Even though I would love to see Godzilla Vs Gamera, I don't think it will ever happen. Not anytime soon, anyway. There's no way they could make an ending that people would be happy with. Godzilla has a bigger fanbase so if he lost to Gamera, too many fans would be pissed off. If Godzilla won, Gamera fans would be pissed off, and if it was a draw, well.... that's just a cop out. Keep 'em seperate I say.

Having Godzilla and Gamera team up against one foe would be interesting though
shareIt's actually just a matter of using the 'ol good guy/bad guy approach. Naturally Gamera would want to help humanity and Godzilla would be a force of destruction. If Gamera gets help from the military and beats (but does not kill) Godzilla, both sides would be happy. I mean, I'm pretty sure most Godzilla fans wouldn't mind that...I wouldn't.
But 1 on 1...Godzilla would cream Gamera.
Godzilla>Gamera
Just plain simple.
I definitely think that Godzilla would win in a fight between Godzilla and Gamera, no contest really. Gamera is like Godzilla's little cousin almost or something like that. It would have been interesting to see them team up or fight each other and I am surprised that there was never a crossover between these movies seeing as they were both pretty similar, although I definitely think the Godzilla movies are superior.
