Kenichi and Helen, both having oceanographers as fathers, witness a mysterious flying object landing in the sea with their parents. The four of them head to the scene in a boat, but suddenly they are engulfed by a beam of light from the sea and taken to an unknown place. They find themselves inside a spaceship. A woman who introduces herself as a Jiger alien claims that to prove their superior scientific power, they will cause a magnitude 13 earthquake in Tokyo right before their eyes. During this unprecedented disaster, the Jiger aliens demand humanity's surrender. The Jiger aliens, who live in the sea, state that they are searching for a beautiful planet to relocate to because their own planet's sea has been polluted, and they have discovered Earth, which is 480 light-years away. They plan not only to occupy the sea but also to use humanity as food. The children manage to escape from the spaceship, but the woman claiming to be a Jiger alien also lands after them. Meanwhile, the spaceship hit by Gamera's flame attack explodes, revealing a silver monster that moves through the sea. This is the true form of the Jiger aliens. Due to the pressure difference from their home planet, Jiger rapidly grows in size. Gamera shifts the battle to land, where Jiger is at a disadvantage, but ends up collapsing in the sea after being hit by a barrage of beams. Gamera, unable to move, finds the defense forces' attack completely ineffective against Jiger. Kenichi and his friends, who are the last hope to rescue Gamera, are instead dragged into a depth of 10,000 meters in the Japan Trench by Jiger as hostages. The commander of the defense forces, having taken the four as hostages, finally decides to surrender… This is effectively the final installment in the Showa Gamera series, the seventh film. Due to a tie-up with Kamogawa Sea World, most of the scenes not underwater were shot within the Sea World. However, compared to the time of Jiger, the budget was not as high, so combat scenes were limited to underwater and coastal environments, which was a disappointment as there were no urban scenes. In terms of story, similar to Toho's "Godzilla vs. Hedorah," released concurrently, the film addresses ocean pollution as a major theme and conveys the dangers of environmental pollution, but compared to the fights with Gyaos and Jiger, the content feels somewhat disjointed and the individual developments feel strangely abrupt. The scene where they easily escape from the spaceship by stopping the enemy's movement and the part where the local commander surrenders to Jiger without resistance, simply because four hostages are taken, surely made even kids at the time think "This is a joke." Nevertheless, the series has the recurring theme that humanity surrenders when children are taken hostage, embodying the idea that "a child's life is heavier than the Earth." What is distinctive compared to other films in the series is Eiko Hanamura's role as a woman manipulated by Jiger aliens. Her scenes running through the streets in a bikini were quite provocative for elementary school students at the time, making her being a geologist researching at a lunar base hard to believe. Ultimately, this became the final episode due to the unforeseen event of the production company, Daiei, going bankrupt, as there were plans to continue the Gamera series at the time of its making, and so there is nothing particularly grand to adorn the series finale. After this, Gamera would remain hidden from children until approximately nine years later in "Gamera: Cosmic Monster," and in terms of original works, until 24 years later with "Gamera: Guardian of the Universe."
