Can I add a info that Avant Gamera and Toto are presumbly the same individual?

There is a tweet by a person who attended the decade-anniversary event of Gamera the Brave in 2016, and the he says he directly had a talk with Isao Kaneko, and Kaneko told him that "Avant Gamera reincarnated as Toto after releasing energy (self-destruct)".

Welcome back!

Is there a source for this besides the tweet, like the Super Complete Works book? That would be ideal.

Hi, thanks a lot.

I saw a tweet by other people that Heisei Gamera Perfection and Gamera 2006: Hard Link suggest the reincarnation, but I couldn't find such info (I didn't read in details, so I might have missed if there were corresponding parts).

What I can say is that this person (who tweeted about the reincarnation told by Kaneko) certainly attended the event, as he posted several photos of Avant Gamera's model he took with Tomoo Haraguchi and Kazuaki Sekiyama (Practical effect). So from my point of view, it is unlikely that he made up a story otherwise he would be identified and be criticized by other participants for spreading false information.

I conferred with The King of the Monsters - he'd also like a more authoritative source.

Thanks. I understand. So, would it be a problem if I add this information as a trivia?

Well, yes, we'd like a better source.

Didnt he just namedrop two possible book sources though??

Both of which are in Japanese, so without page numbers, that's not much help to us.

Dont some of you have those books?

Owning them isn't the problem. Heisei Gamera Perfection is 300 pages long and written in a language we can't read.

I thought you translated some japanese info before?

Also wouldnt a picture showing anything related to the brave be a good indicator to look for it if its in there?

Translating requires transcribing the entire passage first, and that's impossible if I don't know where it is. I only know enough Japanese to pick out specific words.

That's still roughly a quarter of the book. There are tons of pages on the production, and what we're looking for could very well be buried in an interview.

Reply is busted

Thank you folks.

I've asked the official twitter account about this question, but got no reply so far. I'll let you know when I find a better source.

Why would the official Gamera twitter bother replying anyway???

Brand pages never reply to questions of the sort.

What's the harm in trying?

Because i don't recall any brands account giving specific answers like that

normally that should be directed to the writers or staff if they have an account.

I've asked to the official twitter account (the 55th anniversary account) because that account often (or almost always) LIKES to the tweets by fans, and even replies to fans' tweets occasionally.
