Gamisalas is a fictional character in the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super and its companion manga series written by Toyotarō. Gamisalas makes his debut in Dragon Ball Super Episode 119, broadcast on 10 December 2017 on Fuji TV, as a member of the Universe 4 team.

Biography

Gamisalas is an invisible person representing Universe 4 in the Tournament of Power. At the beginning of the tournament, it appears that the Universe 4 team only has eight members because Gamisalas is invisible and his bug-person teammate Damon is too small to be noticed by the casual observer. Both of them attack for the first time late in the tournament, after four universes have been erased.

Gamisalas attacks first, eliminating Catopesra of Universe 3. He can suppress his ki to evade detection between attacks. First he targets No. 18, who is defenseless against him; then Piccolo blasts the entire area in an effort to damage Gamisalas, but this attack drains his energy significantly. On the sidelines, the Turtle Hermit recalls how Kuririn used him to expose the Invisible Man who fought Yamcha at the Fortuneteller Crone's tournament. The Turtle Hermit calls out to Gohan, suggesting that Gohan cover Gamisalas with blood from his nose, but Gohan has a better idea. He creates smoke clouds with small blasts, hoping to expose Gamisalas in this way; Piccolo joins him, and as soon as Gamisalas is spotted, Piccolo eliminates him. Gamisalas is returned to the bench, where he apologizes invisibly to Quitela. Gamisalas's teammates Shantsa and Damon are eliminated shortly thereafter, and Universe 4 is erased.

Name

Gamisalas's name is likely based on Garam Masala (ガラムマサラ), a blend of toasted, ground spices common in Indian cuisines. The character name is modified from the katakana used to write "garam masala" in Japanese.

Production

An overview of the Universe 4 team (published 21 August 2017) including Damon (center, far left) and an early design for Gamisalas (bottom, second from right).

An early design concept for Gamisalas was revealed in the October 2017 issue of V-Jump, published on 21 August 2017. In this early design, he appears to be a color-variant copy of his teammate Damon, who is quite different in size and features from what we can make out of Gamisalas's final design. Dragon Ball Super Episode 119 was broadcast on 10 December 2017, and this time frame provides a indication of the series' production schedule at that time. Gamisalas and Damon are two of only three participants in the Tournament of Power who never had a profile or design published on Toei Animation's dedicated website. The other is Maji-Kayo of Universe 3.

Performance

The performance of Gamisalas was never credited in the original Japanese version despite the character having speaking lines. This is not uncommon, but other uncredited participants in the Tournament of Power with speaking lines were credited in website profiles. Gamisalas has no profile and thus remains uncredited. In the Funimation dub, Gamisalas is voiced by...
