**Gonza Dobashi** (土橋 権左, *Dobashi Gonza*?) is one of the characters of the final arc of the *Mahou Kaiju Series*, introduced in the movie *Kaiju World War: Part 1*.

## Appearance

He is a muscular man with black hair tied to his back and blue irises on his eyes.

## Personality

As a steward of the Nisha clan, it's considered to be a job where wisdom is desired over fighting strength, but Gonza is said to be the complete opposite. An enthusiastic soldier that will follow his master's command without any hesitation, he will turn the tip of his spear wherever commanded. He, for example, would not even hesitate to kill his own father and mother if given the order. At least, that is what the people who know him believe.

## Background

Gonza is a Taimanin known for being a strong spear user. As the head of the Dobashi clan, his ancestors have served as the steward of Gaiza Nisha's family for generations, as well as being Gaiza's right-hand man.

## Relationships

### Gaiza Nisha

He is extremely loyal to the head of the Nisha clan as both his steward and right-hand man.

## Abilities

* **Magi Physiology**/**Sensitivity to Chi** –
* **Master Spearmanship** – Gonza is extremely well-endowed in his skills in handling his large spear in combat.
* **Kaiju Transformation** – He also has the ability to transform into the blue humanoid kaiju Soldnerg.
* **Earth Elemental Powers** – Gonza's ninja arts, the **Ground-Style Jutsu** (土遁の術, *Doton no Jutsu*?) allows him to manipulate the earth element, such as raising large pillars of rocks from the ground and creating large cracks on the surface.

### Attacks

* **Frenzy Spear** (狂乱槍, *Kyōransō*?) –
* **Ground Storm Attack** (土塊流撃, *Tsuchikure Ryūgeki*?) –
* **Ground-Style Jutsu: Coiling Earthen Road** (土遁の術“捲土往来”, *Doton no Jutsu - Kendo Ōrai*?) – Underground movement with the same strength and speed as something moving on the earth's surface is possible. Other than living things and artificial compounds, it is said that anything can be freely moved in a swim-like manner. Also, he has learned to freely manipulate lumps of the earth to do various things, such as making a clone of himself. Buildings and asphalt can be sent underground and moved, but compared to natural earth, their movement speed is slow. It also isn't possible to manipulate them freely like normal lumps of earth.
