That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime started as a web novel, and the manga and anime have also become very popular. Spin-off works are also being published in parallel. The protagonist of the story is Rimuru, who is reincarnated into another world as a slime. He builds a country by adding many races, including humans, to his ranks and establishing diplomatic relations. In this story, the first people he adds to his ranks are the goblins. Gobuta, who was originally just a goblin, grows steadily as he walks with Rimuru. In this article, we will introduce Gobuta.

Gobuta's features are his mohawk hair and bulbous nose, which match those of the village chief. The first scene in which a goblin that looks like Gobuta appears is when Rimuru arrives in the village and a goblin trembles in fear. It's all over! He holds his head in his hands. So Rimuru decided to help, and in return the goblins swore loyalty to Rimuru as their servants. Incidentally, Gobta also took part in the battle against the Garo tribe, taking down one of the Garo that was stuck in a fence and unable to move with his warty club. He may have been surprisingly strong even at this time.

You're Gobuta. Rimuru, who has to do a lot of naming, easily decides on Gobuta's name. After that, it goes on to Gobuchi, Gobutsu... and so on. I'm glad it was Gobuta. The goblins evolve into hobgoblins, as named by Rimuru, but Gobta's appearance doesn't change much. However, it seems he has become stronger as a result of evolving, and it is said that moving around as a Garo doesn't use up as much stamina. Gobta and Kurobee are the two that come to mind when their appearance doesn't change much after evolving.

The goblin race respects those who are loyal to them, but Gobuta has started to talk casually to Rimuru without him realizing it. Rimuru didn't particularly mind, but as his country grew and his subordinates increased, jealousy and complaints about Gobuta's tone of voice began to emerge. So, Rimuru rewarded Gobuta for his military achievements by giving him the right to speak to Rimuru in his current tone of voice. As a result, Gobuta was able to speak to Rimuru in his usual tone of voice, which everyone around him envied, although he didn't seem to mind it too much.

Gobuta seems to be a genius. After being kicked by Rimuru, he learns the spin kick and masters shadow movement before he knows it, and he also learns Garo Summoning and Demon Wolf Summoning. At first, Rimuru thought it was a coincidence, but it seems that Gobuta is a genius. However, when it comes to teaching the skills he has acquired to those around him, it seems that this is not the case. His intelligence does not seem to be that high.

Gobuta reminds me of the protagonists of old, passionate manga. This time, Rimuru doesn't have many scenes where he has to train hard, but Gobuta is different. He is thoroughly trained by Hakurou, the reward for defeating Gabil is forgotten, and he acquires the poison resistance skill thanks to Shion's cooking. He is often put in difficult situations, and each time he does so he grows stronger. Gobuta even becomes stronger as he goes along.
【That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime】Gobuta and Ranga

These two have been together since the beginning of the story, but I'm a little skeptical about whether they're particularly close. However, there seems to be a connection between them, as Gobuta is able to summon the Garo tribe from his shadow early in the story and is able to use the Storm Garo tribe's skill "Shadow Movement." The relationship between these two changed dramatically during the fighting tournament, when the two faced off in the tournament. Ranga is of course a superior rank to Gobuta. However, Gobuta goes up against him fearlessly, and at that moment he learns "Demon Wolf Summoning" and is able to become one with Gobuta. Ranga's attacks no longer hit Gobuta, and Gobuta is defeated. Ranga feels ashamed of himself, but he accepts Gobuta and they then become one and fight.

In Tempest, Gobta and Rigurdo are the two goblins who rise in rank. Rigurdo is the Goblin Lord, and Gobta is the Goblin Rider Captain. Goblins are like Namekians, divided into combat types and non-combat types. It's probably Rigurdo who doesn't think well of Gobta's rise. Even though Riguru was originally the village chief's son and took his brother's name, Gobuta continues to rise through the ranks. Tempest is a meritocracy.

There are probably few monsters in this other world who have gained extraordinary strength as goblins. He mainly uses Ranga's power. He also seems to be gradually acquiring wisdom in battle, and even teaches the former Demon Lord Karion how to super heal. This leads to the two of them becoming closer, so keep an eye on Gobta, the lovable character.
