Golem Gouriki (ゴーレム 剛力, Gōremu Gōriki) is a former pro-wrestler who transformed into the Jungle Malgam (ジャングルマルガム, Janguru Marugamu) with Junglejan[1] and later Gorilla Malgam (ゴリラマルガム, Gorira Marugamu) with Gorillasensei.
History[]
According to Koichiro Asahi, Golem Gouriki is a former pro-wrestler who disgraced himself once he attacked an audience in a fit of fury. He also is responsible for putting Asahi's best pupil in early retirement, thus dispiriting Asahi.
Gouriki is seen wandering aimlessly at night and after incapacitating one onlooker for provoking him using his Windmill Back Breaker, he met Clotho, who offered to set his power free.
He later visits Asahi Gym right after Houtarou fends off some Yakuza members by transforming into Gotchard Bulletchoucho Wild Mode. There, he reveals that he had now become the Gorilla Malgam, and effortlessly beat Gotchard SteamHopper by using the same Windmill Back Breaker. However, before he could kill Houtarou, he is fended off by the timely arrival of Valvarad. Thus, Gouriki escapes while promising Houtarou to fight him again.
The next day, Gouriki appeared again with Houtarou prepared for his arrival after training with Wrestler G. After Houtarou transformed into Gotchard Antwrestler and Gouriki transformed into Gorilla Malgam, the fight began in earnest. Despite Gotchard gaining the upperhand, Gorilla Malgam was about to perform the Windmill Back Breaker on Gotchard. However, thanks to Wrestler G’s training, Gotchard managed to counter it, much to the Malgam’s disbelief.
To make thing worse for the Malgam, Wrestler G possessed Asahi and stepped into the is ring as Asahi G. Ultimately, Gotchard and Asahi G tag teamed and defeated Gorilla Malgam together, freeing the Chemy Gorillasensei which is then sealed into a Ride Chemy Card afterwards. Finally, Minato later erased Gouriki’s memories and handed him over to police.
Personality[]
Gouriki is a violent and bloodthirsty man who is obsessed with being the strongest. He desires battle above all else and when his opponents failed to sate his bloodlust, he would even attack the audiences at his wrestling matches. He looks down on those he considers weak, given Houtarou the derisive nickname "Baby Face" and crippling Asahi's star pupil in a wrestling match. He's quite proud of his "Windmill Back-Breaker" move, using it in virtually all of his fights, both in and out of the ring.
