As the Supreme Demon King of the Demon Realm and a heroic figure from Universe 11 , it ’s hard to imagine what Gomah and Jiren actually have in common . However , both were render hulking , powerful chassis , and wear skintight outfits that were primarily reddish and black , giving them a very distinctive resemblance to one another . yield that Jiren ’s wise man was supposedly killed by a demon ( which could well have been from the Demon Realm ) , some fans speculate that there was reason to think that the resemblance was more than coincidental .
Dragon Ball’s Character Designer Weighs In on Gomah and Jiren
Nakatsuru Reveals Toriyama’s Involvement in Gomah’s Design
In aninterview with the show " Made in Asia , " Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru , aDragon Ballcharacter decorator , answered some questions , including one about Jiren and Gomah ’s shared resemblance . Nakatsuru commented thatGomah ’s design was created by Akira Toriyama himself , and thus he could n’t say definitively whether there was meant to be some connection between the two charactersas a result . While the answer is a piece unsatisfying , it is interesting to know that Gomah was one of Toriyama ’s designs forDaima , including not only his base manikin , but obviously his mesomorphic Third Eye phase as well .
Fan theories about the berth have certainly been interesting , such as speculation that Gomah was somehow the one creditworthy for killing Jiren ’s mentor , but it seems that , at least for now , none of them will be substantiate . That ’s inauspicious , asDaimacould certainly stand to have a few more hearty connections toSuper , avail to show that they really are intended to be in the same persistence , despite somemajor number with the canyon now as a result ofDaima .

Why Do Jiren and Gomah Look So Similar?
Examining How the Two Came to Resemble One Another
It ’s interesting to ponder precisely how these characters may look alike , even if only from an out - of - macrocosm perspective . It ’s fairly unclouded thatJiren and the Pride Troopers are revolutionize by Super Sentai ( Power Rangers ) style heroes , so their semblance - blocked uniform make a mass of sense in that perspective . Gomah is simply wear out the same rig he had on all along , which happens to look quite similar to the Pride Troopers . Gomah ’s rig is a bit different , with the ruby-red part forming an M - like shape , perhaps referencing " Majin " and the Majin " M " symbol .

Who Would Win: Jiren or Gomah?
Pitting the Two Characters Against One Another
One affair that ’s always fun to contemplate is which of these two fictional character would bring home the bacon in a fight . Gomah sure made a powerful impression with the Third Eye , and his magical abilities might be hard for Jiren to divvy up with . However , Jiren possess a truly phenomenal level of strength and fastness , and based on how Goku in Super Saiyan 4 was able to outmaneuver Gomah , Jiren could likely do the same . Jiren also does n’t really swear on shift the way Goku does , so he would n’t be at much peril of have his mogul decreased by Gomah .
Most fan would also agree that Super Saiyan Blue and Ultra Instinct are more powerful transmutation than Super Saiyan 4 , and Jiren was capable to easily keep up with the former and held his own quite well against the latter . It seems likely that if Jiren and Gomah ever did crossing paths , Jiren would well be able to defeat Gomah . Perhaps a future edition of theSuper Dragon Ball Heroesmanga might even have them both in it some solar day .
Will Jiren and Gomah’s Connections Ever Be Confirmed?
Fans May Never Know For Sure if the Resemblance is Intentional
Unfortunately , with Toriyama ’s death last year , it may not ever be potential to fully confirm what was intend regarding Gomah ’s design . There is always the possibility that Toriyama leave behind some billet behind that might reveal the accuracy , but fans can hardly count on such a matter being find and released .
Just because it can never be confirm does n’t make it any less of a playfulness fan possibility , however . The theme of the Pride Troopers or Gomah drawing inspiration from each other is certainly a wild one , but it can be fun to tie disparate parts ofDragon Ballcanon together like this . After all , the world ofDragon Ballis both big and belittled at the same prison term , and this kind of happenstance can always be yield Modern significance afterward .
