| − | '''''Gamera: Guardian of the Universe''''' is the 9th entry in the Daiei produced [[Gamera (disambiguation)|Gamera film series]] and the first in Heisei period trilogy, followed by ''[[Gamera 2: Attack of Legion]]'' (1996) and ''[[Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris]]'' (1999). Unlike Shōwa period films, that were more children-oriented, the Heisei period trilogy has dark and heroic tone. In the first film Gamera, a colossal fire-spitting and jet-flying turtle, fights against numerous giant bat-like predators known as Gyaos.
