Appearance

Daima - Gomah design
Gomah's full appearance

Gomah is a short Majin who wears a skintight red and black body suit with white gloves and white boots with gray soles. The suit seems to have a large "M" like insignia. He also dons a cape which is quite similar to what Dabura and Degesu wear. He has a white face with red underlines under each of his eyes which also have a black eyeliner. He has a pair of large horns that seem to be fused with his head rather than growing out of them separately and has distinctive pointy ears. He also carries around a dark purple staff which has golden ends and a red crystal ball on the top.

Personality

Gomah is an arrogant demon who takes great pride in being the new King of the Demon Realm. He is also cowardly and somewhat submissive, becoming very paranoid about losing the position after discovering the Dragon Team's defeat of Majin Buu and arrival in the Demon Realm, and is susceptible to having his fears preyed upon, which Dr. Arinsu exploited to force Gomah to keep funding her research. He is disrespectful to those around him, constantly ridiculing Neva for his senility and lack of personal hygiene, trying to intimidate Sir Warp, and being short with Degesu for not being more proactive in halting the Dragon Team's progress. However, he is more amiable with Degesu, likely due to Degesu's genuine advice and willingness to serve, and considers giving him one of Shenron's three wishes (unaware Shenron only grants regulars such a luxury).

While malevolent, Gomah is not totally ruthless, opting to wish for the Dragon Team to regress into children rather than smite them outright (though he and Degesu imply they would have done so had the Earth's Dragon Balls not been based in white magic), and using Dende as a hostage instead of killing him, expressing some care for the Namekian's well-being and demanding Dende's caretaker read his bedtime story with more emotion and joy.

Still, Gomah is no better a ruler than his predecessor Dabura, maintaining both the Gendarmerie and the use of Arinsu's Magic Collars and exacting cruelty to the point where Panzy views Dabura more positively than Gomah, even though Gomah had not been in power for very long.

Biography

Dragon Ball Daima

Daima Saga

DBD Ep 1 04
Gomah, the latest Supreme Demon King

In the Demon King Palace, Gomah and Degesu use a magic monitor to jump through the key events that occurred when Earth was invaded by the Organization of Babidi and Majin Buu. While watching these events, Gomah curses Babidi for using Dabura as his subordinate and notices Shin being involved. When looking into further events, Gomah and Degesu are taken by surprise by the power the mortals on Earth possess. After learning of Dabura's defeat, Gomah becomes the new King of the Demon Realm. However, their celebration is short lived when Dr. Arinsu arrives and stirs up Gomah's anxiety after threatens to cut her research fund by suggesting that the mortals who defeated Majin Buu will invade Demon Realm. After hearing this, Gomah decides to use Earth's Dragon Balls to weaken everyone involved in the battle with Buu and acquire the Evil Third Eye. He also decides to bring Neva with them, and they leave through Sir Warp to Universe 7's Earth.

DBD Ep 2 03
Dende is kidnapped on Gomah's orders

Upon arriving on the Lookout, Gomah tells Dende to summon the Dragon Balls, but he refuses so Gomah has Neva do it instead. While waiting, Gomah explains the Namekians origins to Dende and summons Shenron while Degesu prevents Dende from interfering. He then wishes for Summon turn everyone who fought Majin Buu and their friends into children and babies.[1] However, he surprised to learn that he only gets one wish due to being a first-time user and would've wish for the Evil Third Eye instead if he had known that. Gomah then tells Neva to restore the Dragon Balls again but learns he can't do that twice in a row and gets angry. Once Degesu reminds him that the mortals are harmless now, Gomah decides to take the child-like Dende with him so that the Dragon Balls will no longer be usable on Earth and returns to the Demon Realm.[2]

In the Demon King Palace, Gomah tells the babysitter to read the book to a young Dende with more emotion in her voice as he needs to be taken good care of due to how important he will become for him.[3]

Power

Despite his short stature, Gomah is described as being a crafty individual who is capable of using amazing magical abilities (similar to Babidi) that even Marba, the witch who created Majin Buu, warned Dr. Arinsu to not take him lightly.

Nevertheless, Glorio and Kadan believe that Goku should be able to defeat him as he had already previously defeated Majin Buu.

Gomah also appears to have no confidence in being able to defeat the Tamagami himself, opting instead to use Earth's Dragon Balls and finds the notion of someone actually acquiring the Dragon Balls from them as being impossible.
