This small ad is really funny. Even that first movie, where Gammera is the bad monster, he still saves a kid. It's rather inexplicable, though it's a well shot scene. Why would a rampaging giant monster save a child after destroying the lighthouse the child was in? The world may never know. It does turn out that Gamera is the friend of children, so it made sense some two films later.
August Ragone's commentary about Toshio on the DVD is really rather funny. To paraphrase him, "this kid is nuts!" and he is not wrong. The kid wanders through the movie and causes more trouble than the turtle does. The ad really should have said "Toshio Will Destroy You!, which would have made more sense.
