OVA
Description
Gomez, an Altarian alien criminal, serves as a recurring henchman for primary antagonist Christella Revi across multiple franchise continuities. His specific role and background adapt slightly between versions, yet consistently depict unwavering loyalty to Revi.
Within the original manga and its reboot, Gomez operates under Revi's direct command, actively participating in her schemes to destabilize Earth and the Federation. He kills the slime-like alien Bacillus during a confrontation, an act that horrifies Birdy in the manga due to her strict non-lethal principles, though Birdy's reaction differs elsewhere. His involvement extends to Revi's broader plans, frequently encompassing genetic experimentation or terrorism aimed at liberating oppressed Altans. In the reboot manga, Gomez meets his end when Revi executes him for failing to eliminate Birdy, underscoring the conditional nature of his loyalty and Revi's ruthlessness.
The OVA continuity portrays Gomez as Revi's direct subordinate. He assists her in distributing a serum through Tokyo's water supply designed to transform humans into beast-like creatures. Gomez confronts Birdy in combat but is ultimately incapacitated and arrested by Federation forces, leaving his fate unresolved.
In the *Decode* anime, Gomez appears as a recurring enforcer for Revi, operating in a reduced capacity. He communicates directly with Revi, informing her of operational developments like Satyajit Shyamalan's incompetence with the Ryunka weapon. Gomez also interacts with other antagonists, dismissing threats from the fugitive Moss when she attempts to expose Revi's hideout. His presence primarily connects Revi to Earth's ongoing conflicts; he avoids direct combat with Birdy in this continuity.
Across all media, Gomez is defined by his steadfast service to Revi's objectives, whether involving planetary-scale terrorism, scientific sabotage, or manipulating other criminals. His adaptability across continuities highlights his function as a narrative device advancing Revi's antagonistic plans, reflecting each adaptation's distinct focus—such as the manga's ethical conflicts versus the OVA and *Decode*'s action-driven plots.
