Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Name's the Same: Barugon / Baragon from Toho's Frankenstein Conquers the World.
  • What Could Have Been: An unfilmed movie by the name of Gamera vs. Garasharp. Garasharp was a massive, cobra-like creature, armed with a sonic rattle and poisonous breath. The story ends with Gamera defeating Garasharp (naturally) and two babies emerging from her body. Just as the military closes in to destroy them, Gamera rescues them and flies them off to a deserted island, because he's the friend to all children, not just human ones. The film was scheduled for a 1972 release, but Daiei went bankrupt before they could start on it.
Examples from the rest of the series:
  • What Could Have Been: An anime based on the franchise was planned (rumor was that Cartoon Network was going to sponsor it) but was scrapped after Gamera: The Brave tanked at the box
