While generally well-received, Gamera the Brave was a financial failure and the lowest-grossing Heisei Gamera film. When Zedus appears in Tokyo even larger than before, Toru, his father, and his friends fight to help Toto as he engages in a final confrontation with Zedus. Japanese authorities capture Toto to try and find a way to revitalize him before Zedus attacks again. Toto springs into action when the giant man-eating monster Zedus threatens Toru's village, but is badly wounded in the conflict. Toru forms a strong bond with Toto, and as his pet turtle grows quickly and demonstrates unusual abilities learns that he may be another Gamera. Thirty-three years later, and young Toru Aizawa discovers an egg atop a red stone which hatches into a baby turtle he names Toto. In 1973, Gamera sacrifices his own life to save a small village from a flock of Gyaos. Media Blasters released it to DVD in the United States in 2008 as part of its Tokyo Shock label. The film was released to Japanese theaters by Shochiku on April 29, 2006. It stars Ryo Tomioka, Kaho, Kanji Tsuda, Susumu Terajima, Kaoru Okunuki, Megumi Kobayashi, Shingo Ishikawa, and Shogo Narita.

It is also the first Gamera film to be produced by Kadokawa following its acquisition of the assets of Daiei in 2002.

Presented by Kadokawa Herald Pictures, the Japan Film Fund, Nippon TV, and Yahoo! Japan and produced by Kadokawa Herald Pictures, it is the 12th entry in the Gamera series as well as the fourth and final produced during the Heisei era, though it does not share continuity with Shusuke Kaneko's Heisei Gamera trilogy.
