Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In 1996, following the successful release of Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, Dark Horse Comics - having already had experience with Kaiju courtesy of a similar Godzilla miniseries - decided they wanted to cash in on the hype surrounding Gamera's return to the big screen and obtained the rights from Daiei to make a four-issue miniseries surrounding the giant turtle.The miniseries Gamera: The Guardian of the Universe takes place after the similarly-named movie and presumably before Gamera 2: Advent of Legion, and surrounds rough-and-tumble pilot Lutz encountering Mayumi Nagamine and Asagi Kusanagi as they visit Mexico on the trail of exotic birds, but soon enough, they stumble upon the presence of Gyaos - courtesy of a Mad Scientist - and the matter quickly becomes a job for the Guardian of the Universe, assisted by Lutz, Mayumi, and Asagi.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In addition to Gamera and Gyaos, this miniseries is notable for including two monsters from Gamera's Showa Era movies; Zigra and Viras. |

The Dragon: Gusano is this to Greta Karbone - the fact that he has a (unrequited) crush on her helps. |

However, this trope is subverted in that Viras is in fact an alien that Karbone was nurturing. |

Adaptation Species Change: Viras is apparently no longer an alien menace, but a genetically engineered beast created by Dr. Karbone. However, this trope is subverted in that Viras is in fact an alien that Karbone was nurturing. |
