Description
Gobkichi stands as a core character throughout Re:Monster media. Originally a goblin named Gobukichi, born roughly four days after the protagonist Rou, he initially seemed expendable but rapidly became Rou's first trusted companion and brood brother.
Physically, he begins as a standard green-skinned, bald goblin with white eyes. His form transforms significantly through successive evolutions upon meeting specific level and condition thresholds. Evolving into a Hobgoblin around day 13 grants him a more human-like appearance while retaining green skin. His next evolution into an Ogre Variant (Ogakichi) around day 49 turns his skin a dark metallic red and increases his height to 2.8 meters. A further evolution to Minotaur (Minokichi) around day 113 (or day 118 in the manga) results in a towering five-meter frame with red skin, brown fur-covered legs emitting thunderous crackles, and fiery/electrical breath. Tattoos resembling Rou's black and gold patterns manifest. This massive Minotaur form creates temporary physical incompatibility with his mate E. A final known evolution to Giga Minoterios occurs around day 244.
Personality-wise, Gobkichi exhibits an easygoing yet aggressive nature, specializing in frontline combat. Early depictions portray him as a tactical "musclehead," though Rou's guidance refines his decision-making. He demonstrates profound loyalty to Rou, viewing him as both leader and a rival to surpass. His devotion extends intensely to E; he seeks Rou's advice to confess his feelings and experiences frustration over their size disparity after his Minotaur evolution until she evolves into an Earth Lord.
In combat, he focuses exclusively on battle-related stats, wielding heavy weapons like thick wooden clubs, firestone-embedded axes, shields, and later legendary gear including the "Demon-Burning Executioner’s Axe" and "Black Demon’s Chopping Board" tower shield. He receives multiple divine blessings: the Demigod of Fire’s Blessing and Demigod of War’s Blessing during his Ogre stage, and the God of Lightning’s Blessing upon becoming a Minotaur, granting enhanced toughness, fire manipulation, and thunder-based abilities. He earns titles including "Great Emperor of the Destructive Axe" and "Axe Emperor."
Within the mercenary group Parabellum, he rises to captain the heavily armored squad "Anger" and secures a position among the elite Eight Demon Generals. His relationship with E evolves from friendship to romantic partnership following his confession. His bond with Rou centers on mutual respect, defined by regular sparring sessions and a drive to achieve equality through combat.
