Gomess (ゴメス,   Gomesu) is a mammalian[2] kaiju who debuted in episode 1 of Tsuburaya Productions' 1966 television series Ultra Q, and has reappeared in (among other productions) the 2022 film Shin Ultraman. He is notable for being the first kaiju to appear in the Ultra Series, and for being originally portrayed by a modified Godzilla suit; in keeping with these traditions, his Shin Ultraman incarnation is the first S-Class Species encountered by humanity, and was portrayed by a modified CG model of Godzilla from Shin Godzilla.

Development

The CG model of Gomess is a modified version of Godzilla's model in Shinji Higuchi and Hideaki Anno's previous film Shin Godzilla. This is a reference to how Gomess was originally portrayed by a modified Godzilla suit in episode 1 of Ultra Q.[3]

Trivia

  • A shot from Ultra Q of Gomess' eye opening underground just before the episode's title card appears is replicated in Shin Ultraman, though it happens just after the movie's title card.
  • Gomess' emergence from a Shin-Tomei Expressway tunnel in Shin Ultraman echoes his emergence from a Tomei Expressway tunnel in Ultra Q; the Shin-Tomei's name literally means "New Tomei."
