Gobrou is the main character of Re:Monster, known for constantly evolving into more powerful monsters with each life-threatening challenge. Once an ordinary but very talented ESP user named Kanata Tomokui, he is killed by a stalker girl and reborn as a goblin. Thanks to his mysterious ESP power that absorbs his defeated enemies' abilities, Gobrou quickly grows stronger, rises in rank, and eventually becomes a god-like figure. His story is filled with wild battles, crazy transformations, and unexpected twists as he collects powers, leads monsters, and faces world-shaking enemies.
Gobrou begins life in the new world as a normal goblin and is named Gobrou by Gobujii.
After rapidly growing, he evolves into a hobgoblin with dark skin.
In his battle with a huge bear, he loses his left arm but replaces it with a magical silver arm called "Agatram."
He later becomes an ogre, going by the name Ogarou, with dark skin and one silver arm.
After even more evolution, Gobrou transforms into a god-like creature called "Kongou Yasha Oni God," with five horns, four silver arms, silver hair, golden tattoos, golden eyes, and jet black skin.
His appearance is flashy and intimidating.
Gobrou values his friends and followers but also believes in power and logic.
He is cold and harsh toward anyone who disobeys him, causes problems, or is useless.
He enjoys collecting and combining new abilities, making this his hobby.
As his strength grows, he becomes somewhat troubled by his ability to absorb new skills slowing down, and dislikes that he can barely get drunk anymore.
Gobrou was originally Kanata Tomokui, a rare and skilled ESP user.
One night, after drinking with coworkers, he is attacked and killed by a girl who was like a little sister and a stalker to him.
He is reborn in another world as a goblin, still holding his special ESP power to absorb the abilities of those he eats.
Gobrou’s main ability is called "Absorption Ability" – by eating enemies, he can sometimes make their skills his own.
He can combine these abilities to make new, stronger ones.
Some special abilities and titles he gains include:
- Absorption Ability
- Blessing of the Great God of the End and Origin
- True Name: Yaten Douji
- Unique Skills: Leader of Hyakki Yagyou, Ogre Eater of Twilight
- Special Skills: Heresy Nemesis, Fate Plunder, Mythic Main Character: World Saga [Black Eater Ogre Story], Dungeon Plunder: Ogre’s Lament World, Enemy of the World: Endless Gluttony
- Weapons: likes long weapons, uses a halberd upgraded by the Blacksmith, and a special red spear "Starving Thousand Thorns," plus a cursed spear
- His right arm possesses a transforming bracelet called "Lone Majesty"
- Can use End-type magic
From Human to Goblin
Gobrou was Kanata Tomokui, a rare human ESP user who was excellent but awkward in some ways.
After being killed by a stalker-like girl under the full moon, he wakes up as a goblin in another world and is given the name Gobrou by Gobujii.
Rising Through the Ranks
Gobrou discovers he still has his Absorption Ability and starts using it to grow stronger.
He quickly stands out and becomes the leader of his group after just 11 days, evolving into a hobgoblin.
By the 33rd day, he fights and defeats a giant Hind Bear (Red Bear), though he loses his left arm.
Becoming Ogarou and Beyond
He attaches a magic silver prosthetic, the "Agatram" arm, and evolves into an ogre, taking the name Ogarou.
He keeps evolving, becoming "Apolou" the Apostle Ogre (mutant class), and then conquers the Flame Dragon Mountain Dungeon, gaining godlike powers and the name “Obarou.”
Godlike Transformation
Now known as Obarou, Gobrou has five horns, four silver arms, golden tattoos, and radiant eyes.
He has become so powerful that it is getting harder for him to absorb new abilities or find drinks that can make him drunk.
Ongoing Adventure
Gobrou continues to create new powers by mixing his absorbed skills.
He plays a leading role in the "World Saga [Black Eater Ogre Story]," and holds the blessing of the powerful god of End and Origin.
He acquires all kinds of abilities, items, and titles through completing special conditions and dangerous quests.
Gobrou respects his mentors like Gobujii and the Blacksmith.
He leads his followers and values those loyal to him.
He does not hesitate to dispose of those who betray, disobey, or cause problems for his group.
Gobrou's biggest worries are not being able to absorb new skills as easily and the lack of alcohol that can actually make him drunk.
He likes long weapons, especially halberds and special spears.
Gobrou's story is packed with wild transformations, fierce battles, and endless surprises.
He is the central figure in the "Black Eater Ogre Story" of the world saga.
