'''Damon''' is a fictional character in the Japanese animated television series ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]'' and its companion manga series written by [[Toyotarō]]. Damon 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==
Damon is a bug 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 Damon is too small to be noticed by the casual observer, and his teammate [[Gamisalas]] is invisible.<ref>{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=96}}</ref> Both of them attack for the first time late in the tournament, after four universes have been erased.<ref name="ep119">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=119}}</ref>

Gamisalas attacks first, eliminating [[Catopesra]] of [[Universe 3]] before [[Gohan]] figures out how to expose him using smoke. With Gohan's help, Gamisalas is eliminated by [[Piccolo]]. When Damon attacks, Piccolo believes he is another invisible person, but the same tactics do not work, even though Damon cannot suppress his ''ki'' like Gamisalas. Piccolo attacks where he senses ''ki'', but nothing is there, and after a short fight he is eliminated.

Damon attacks [[No. 17]] next, pushing him toward the edge of the arena, but [[Goku]] catches him before he can be knocked out. Goku can sense Damon and tries to attack, but none of his punches land. Meanwhile No. 17, who is unable to sense ''ki'', listens for Damon's movements. Before long, he figures it out: Damon is not invisible, but a small bug person; no one was able to hit him because they did not realize how small he was. With Damon exposed, [[Quitela]] reminds him of the consequences if he loses. He is their last fighter.

Goku tries to catch Damon in his hand, but Damon escapes, boasting that it does not matter if they know where he is. No. 17 fires a volley of small energy attacks at Damon, but none of them land. [[Tenshinhan]] observes that it is almost impossible to hit such a small target; the [[Turtle Hermit]] adds that they also do not want to accidentally crush and kill him. Goku having realized these things, is at a loss for what to do, but No. 17 points out that Damon does not have wings and must jump to attack. If they can prevent him from jumping, they can immobilize him and eliminate him. Goku thrice punches the ground to force Damon up, and No. 17 catches him inside a small [[barrier]] and kicks him out of the arena. Damon apologizes to Quitela, but Quitela knows they are about to be erased and takes out his anger on Damon by trying to crush him underfoot. The [[Omni-Kings]] tap out Damon on their [[GodPads]], and Universe 4 is erased.<ref name="ep119"/>

The word 空蝉 (うつせみ/''utsusemi'') can mean a cicada, a cicada's empty husk, or a "person living in this world", referring to the transient nature of human life.

Many of the website profiles were updated over the course of the tournament, and [[Kale]] of [[Universe 6]] also had a profile found in the source code which was never published, but Damon is one of only three participants in the [[Tournament of Power]] who never had a profile or design published on the website at all.<ref name="U4">{{Cite web|URL=http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/dragon_s/chara/chapter4/no04.html|Website=Toei Animation|Title="Universe 4"|AccessDate=13 March 2019}}</ref> The others are [[Maji-Kayo]] of [[Universe 3]]<ref>{{Cite web|URL=http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/dragon_s/chara/chapter4/no03.html|Website=Toei Animation|Title="Universe 3"|AccessDate=13 March 2019}}</ref> and Damon's [[Universe 4]] teammate [[Gamisalas]].<ref name="U4"/>

Gamisalas was originally designed to be another bug person with a different color scheme, but he was eventually written as an invisible man instead, and what we are able to see of his final design is quite different from Damon in size and features. The issue of [[V-Jump]] where the early design was revealed was published on '''21 August 2017''', and [[Dragon Ball Super Episode 119]] was broadcast on '''10 December 2017'''. This time frame provides a indication of the series' production schedule at that time.
