Gobta ｢ゴブタ, gobuta｣ is a Hobgoblin originally from the goblin village saved by Rimuru Tempest. He is one of the first martial art students Hakurou took in since the latter became a Kijin. Gobta lives in the capital city of the Jura-Tempest Federation: Rimuru City.
Appearance[]
Rimuru notes that Gobta did not change the same way as the other Goblins during their evolution to Hobgoblin and actually retains his physical appearance; he is described as looking like a Goblin child. That does not seem to fool other monsters, however, as Gabiru correctly recognized Gobta as a Hobgoblin upon their first meeting, rather than mistaking him for a Goblin.
Personality[]
Though he's considered a fool, he proves to be a very competent individual when the situation calls for it. His prowess on the battlefield surprises many. He is a natural airhead and an idiot but is a hidden genius. As the Goblin Riders' vice-captain and later captain, he is unexpectedly brilliant; in other words, a heavy sleeper. While he and Rimuru are detained in the Dwarf Kingdom, he sleeps through the entire imprisonment.[1] In the anime, during his fight with Gabiru, Rimuru wonders if Gobta isn't actually a prodigy of some sort.
Gobta shares some of the traits of Rimuru, such as trusting his friends above everything, this was seen when Gobzo was falsely accused by Kirara Mizutani.
Background[]
During his journey to Dwargon, four months prior to Rimuru's involvement, he was beaten black and blue, then he got picked up by a group of Kobold merchants. If they hadn't found him, he might have died. However, during the entire journey, Gobta showed a great amount of good luck.
Trivia[]
- Despite being somewhat perverted himself, he seemed to be disturbed by Darkness masochist behavior in ISEKAI Memories x KonoSuba Collab Storyline, indicating he does have standards when it comes to women.
