Gothic Mates (ゴシックメイツ) is a female devil-type Medarot introduced in Medarot S: Unlimited Nova. It is considered a spiritual successor to Blossomail and was added to the game in the July 27, 2023 update.
Description
Gothic Mate's default form is patterned on Gothic Lolita fashion.
Concept and creation
In a Q&A segment on its announcement stream, Gothic Mates designer's Fujioka Kenki discussed the thought process behind its design. Fujioka explained that four years prior, he suffered a debilitating brain hemorrhage that left the left side of his body paralyzed and turned his life into a living nightmare for a time. As a result of his living condition, his perception of devil and hellish imagery began to change and he thought to himself that if he was unavoidably dragged by a demon, he would like to be adorable. This thought informed Gothic Mates' concept, and her ability to Medachange was meant to convey that behind her cute appearance was a irreversibly dangerous being.
Gothic Mates base form was made with the idea of a being that lure men with her appearance and took inspiration from the "devilish fashion" subculture in Japan. Her transformed appearance is meant to convey an out-of-control being.
Note
- The naming of Gothic Mates part' set is a reference to the quote "There is no remedy for love but to love more" by American author Henry David Thoreau.
