PLASMA!
~ Plasma Man

Plasma Man (プラズマおやじ Purazuma Oyaji?) is a recurring character in the Ganbare Goemon series. He is a mysterious, barely clothed and obese man wearing as mask who specializes in reading the player's fortune.

Description[]

Plasma Man acts as a fortune teller in the games he appears in and gives the heroes insight on where to go next. He is well known for yelling "PLASMA!" every time he performs this feat.

Appearance and personality[]

Plasma Man is a mysterious and obese individual who only wears a red loincloth (similar to a sumo wrestler's mawashi) and a dark and blue mask covering his head, with only two small orifices for the eyes. In earlier incarnations, this mask was more like a sack, while in later ones, it resembles more a torturer's mask.

His origin is enshrouded in mystery and his peculiar outfit could actually have a ritualistic meaning. He practices the art of divination and in some incarnations his eyes can be seen emitting a red glow.

His personality is also quite characteristic, and whenever he performs his ritual to see into the player's future, he'll do so while shouting a very effusive "PLAAASMAAA!!"

Appearances[]

In the American and PAL release, Plasma Man's skin color was changed to a darker tone.
