Oogway is turtle in Mandarin Chinese.

And Master Oogway is the turtle.

Stupid.

Linguistically different, even though they share the same written forms.

Good.

In real time, I like that.

That's right.

Gamera not only catches a child that's falling, he eats fire.

It was figured out in the first Gamera movie that the reason he was destroying cities was because he was seeking fire and he wanted to eat it because he needs that.

That's his nutrition.

And so when he knocked over a structure where a little child was watching and it was like the child was going to fall to his death,

Gamera caught the child, put it down.

It then literally was willing to leave the world to save Earth.

What happened was the humans said, you know, we want Gamera to survive.

Gamera's obviously not evil, but he can't come around and knock down our cities and eat our oil refineries.

And so they created something called Plan Z. You said he eats fires.

Yeah, like Plan Z. Okay.

And they had him stalled at a train depot and just kept sending trucks and train cars full of gasoline onto him so they would catch fire.

So you eat the fire.

And then they cut that off when they got Plan Z ready.
