Showa era
Gamera vs. Guiron
Gamera traveled to Terra, a parallel planet to Earth, to rescue the kidnapped Earth boys Akio and Tom from the planet's two surviving Terrans, Florbella and Barbella. Florbella launched a missile at Gamera as he flew over their dead city, but though it caused a tremendous explosion, he emerged unscathed. They next called up their own monster, Guiron, to battle him. Guiron overcame Gamera but failed to kill him. Later, Akio and Tom inadvertently turned Guiron loose on the Terrans as they searched for a way to escape. He sliced the Terran UFO in half, fatally wounding Barbella. After Guiron defeated Gamera again, the boys temporarily trapped him in his underground enclosure, but he soon burst out. Tom hit his head on a switch as rubble fell on the boys, causing the missile launcher to again emerge. Gamera challenged Guiron a third time, sticking the bladed monster into the ground head-first. Unable to escape, Guiron could only watch as the boys fired off two missiles. Both narrowly missed Guiron, with Gamera catching one and the other striking the building Florbella was inside, killing him. Gamera threw his missile straight through the port holes in Guiron's head that he launched his shuriken from. Gamera then used his fire breath on the missile, detonating it and blasting Guiron in two, killing it once and for all. The threats now gone, Gamera turned his focus to returning the boys back home.
Gamera Super Monster
Gamera fought Guiron on the planet where Zanon stored kaiju before unleashing them on Earth, killing him by catching one of the two missiles fired at the combatants, throwing it through his enemy's head, and detonating it with his flame breath.
Capabilities
Missiles
The Terran missile launcher is able to fire at least three missiles capable of causing large explosions. Though Gamera was unaffected by the missile launched at him, the missile he threw through Guiron's head blasted the space monster in two when he detonated it.
