This film also confirms that Gamera: The Giant Monster is part of the series taking place before the main entries.

Summary
In 1965, a similar-looking giant turtle monster, who would actually turn out to be the original Gamera who first stopped Aldrych 6,000 years ago, besieged Japan but was thwarted when the humans successfully commenced Plan Z, launching the kaiju into space and sending it to Mars.

55 years later, and two years after the destructive battle in Tokyo in the events of Shin Gamera, Ichirou Tachibana is made Socrato’s successor and the new Wizard of Wizards or the Grandmaster destined to lead the magical humans of the world or the Magi to enlightenment. The Earth’s governments label the Magi as controversial figures and completely distinct from ordinary human beings such as themselves for being different. Nevertheless, humans and Magi agree to coexist in peace.

The Gamera who attacked Japan in 1965 somehow returns to Earth and faces Ichirou, the current Gamera of this age. Meanwhile, investigations are being made to know what caused the original Gamera to escape from Mars and land back on Earth. Unbeknownst to them and even to Ichirou and his harem group, the answer wouldn’t be pleasant.
