Gamera 2: Attack of Legion

The events unfold roughly a year after the prior confrontation. The timeline follows escalating alien threats as Legion advance toward major cities. It centers on rapid military responses, civilian evacuations, and the race to stop the launch before Tokyo is reached.

The action tracks northern Japan, centering on Sapporo and Sendai. A meteor crashes in Hokkaido, setting off the invasion of silicon-based Legion. The story moves from the Sapporo Municipal Subway hive to Sendai’s evacuation and urban defenses, highlighting how underground networks become essential battlegrounds.

🛡️ Defense & Evacuation

The narrative emphasizes organized defense by the JGSDF and large-scale evacuations as cities come under threat. Leaders like Watarase coordinate operations to buy time for civilians to reach safety. The tension between civilian safety and military risk drives the pace of the story.

🧬 Silicon Life

Legion are portrayed as silicon-based invaders that exploit electromagnetic sources. Their hive-building in underground tunnels and their rapid spread underscore a non-biological, high-tech threat. The alien biology contrasts with human ingenuity as authorities devise countermeasures.

✨ Revival & Sacrifice

Gamera appears mortally wounded but is revived through a psychic connection with Asagi. Human resolve and the union of science, diplomacy, and magic-like bonds empower a final stand. The climax centers on sacrifice and the hope that collective will can restore the guardian.
