Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey[]
Gomora retains the role he played previously, serving as Rei's signature strongest monster. Like Rei however, Gomora too was being effected by a growing desire to get stronger due to the changing construct of Rei's Reiblood instincts. These changes were mostly present in battle as Gomora was seen to be fight more viciously than before.
During a fierce battle between a Reiblood Alien Nackle and his Galberos, Reimon and Gomora (whom had been baited into a trap by the Reiblood to fight against an Illusion of Zetton to the point of exhaustion) were pushed beyond their current fighting limit and were near death after being bombarded by Galberos's fireballs when Reimon had finally reached his boiling point and transformed into a new form: Burst Mode Reimon. Gomora transformed too, into Reionic Burst Gomora (レイオニックバーストゴモラ, Reionikku Bāsuto Gomora) for the first time ever. With both of them now berserk and filled with new power, Reionic Burst Gomora withstood several of Galberos's fireballs without showing any signs of damage, and the berserk monster vaporized both Galberos and Alien Nackle with his Super Oscillatory Ray. It wasn't until both master and monster were struck by Ultraseven's Eye Slugger that tempered their rage. [Great Frenzy! Reionic Burst]
The calming of the ultra's blade however was only temporary, and both master and monster took off to fight the other Reibloods on Hammer. The likes of which included:
- Alien Metron and his Doragory. [Disturbing Reunion]
- Alien Babalou and his Antlar. [Disturbing Reunion]
- Alien Metron (again) and his Vakishim. [At the End of the Runway]
Afterwards, Rei managed to regain control of his Reiblood instincts after being struck by the Eye Slugger (which greatly weakened his urges to more tame levels,) which in turn also calmed Gomora as well.
After which, Gomora was pitted against the Reiblood Alien Keel, Grande, and his Tyrant, but the monster found himself greatly at a strength disadvantage due to Grande being in possession of a Neo Battle Nizer, and his Tyrant's strength vastly overpowering his own. As a result, Gomora was called back before he could possibly be killed by Tyrant and replaced with Eleking, who sadly met with a more grim fate. [The Strongest Reionics] Luckily thanks to Eleking's sacrifice, Rei manage to come back to life and after his own Battle Nizer was upgraded to a Neo Battle Nizer as well, Gomora faced off with Tyrant in a rematch. Now with a more equal footing, Gomora easily pummeled Grande's monster, and with the help of Litra, he finally destroyed Tyrant [The Second Awakening]
After freeing Ultraseven from the confines of Armored Darkness, [Armor of Darkness] Rei managed to take control of his and Gomora's Reionic Burst transformations without either of them going berserk. Since then, the more calmer but still very powerful Reionic Burst Gomora was used again in battle against Dail, the futuristic Alien Pedan "Reionics Hunter" and his King Joe Black, [The New Horizon of War] as well as his Commander, Harlan and an entire army of King Joe Blacks. [A Warrior's Grave Marker] Despite these developments though, Rei and Grande's feud was far from over, and once the two of them became the only Reibloods left on Hammer, the Alien Keel re-confronted the pair with his new stronger monster: Red King. Gomora and Red King fought fiercely, and despite a significant power boost being granted to Red King, Gomora luckily managed to prevail after Rei transformed into Reimon and the monster easily beat down Red King. Feeling that their point was made, Reimon had Gomora spare Red King so that he and Rei could settle the score with the true mastermind behind the madness on Planet Hammer: Alien Reiblood. [Grande's Challenge]
Heading to Planet Hammer's core, Rei and Gomora first fought against a revived and gigantic Armored Mefilas that was being controlled by Alien Reiblood. Like his other opponents upon his transformation though, Reionic Burst Gomora had no trouble beating down the alien and breaking off its sword. Finally, Reionic Burst Gomora stabbed Armored Mefilas with his horn, charging the alien's innards with his Super Oscillatory Ray from the inside, destroying Armored Mefilas. However once Reionic Burst Gomora was confronted by the Alien Reiblood-possessed Armored Darkness, like their previous battle, Gomora was no match for the sentient armor, even in his Reionic Burst Mode.
Suddenly just as it seemed Armored Darkness was about to finish off Gomora, Red King and Grande both appeared to battle Armored Darkness as well. Red King and Gomora proceeded to double-team Armored Darkness, but even with two monsters taking him on, Armored Darkness managed to take them simultaneously with little effort and he greatly weakened both monsters with his Reionic Fusion attack fired from his Trident. Luckily, the Pendragon arrived just in time and fired on the sentient Armor with there weapons, even managing to greatly weaken Armored Darkness with a single blast from the Pedanium Launcher. Now with 3-on-1, Rei and Grande gave a significant power boost to their respective Monsters. Reionic Burst Gomora transformed into EX Gomora once more, while Red King transformed into EX Red King. Now at the peak of their power, EX Gomora and EX Red King vastly overpowered Armored Darkness without any effort. Once the armor was disarmed of its trident and sword, Armored Darkness was weakened by EX Red King's Flame Road attack, and was finally destroyed after being struck by EX Gomora's EX Super Oscillatory Ray. With their ultimate enemy gone for good, Rei and Grande recalled their respective Monsters and took off on their separate journeys once more. [Planet Destruction]
Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie[]
Gomora was first summoned by Rei in order to save the ZAP SPACY from the sudden arrival of a Zaragas that had landed on Planet Dent. The fight between Gomora and Zaragas was roughly at a standstill, but after the ZAP SPACY discovered Zaragas's brief vulnerable state he enters in between adapting to attacks, they used this weakness to their advantage. Once this was exploited, Zaragas was quickly destroyed by Gomora's Super Oscillatory Ray. Later on once Rei joined Mirai Hibino, Shin Hayata, and Dan Moroboshi in traversing the now-frozen Land of Light, the group was ambushed by an Alien Shaplay and his Black King, both of whom were members of Ultraman Belial's faceless entourage sent to kill them before they could reach the faint glimmer of the Plasma Spark. Black King was the alien's last attempt to kill the weakened ultras, but the monster was confronted by Gomora instead, who challenged it to a battle, allowing Hayata, Dan, and Mirai to escape and reunite with Ultraman Taro to regain their powers once more. Black King was no match for Gomora, and the monster was destroyed after Gomora stabbed Black King with its horn, and charged the monster's innards with its Super Oscillatory Ray from the inside.
Once Hayata, Dan, and Mirai regained the ability to transform into ultras once more, they took Rei with them to confront Ultraman Belial and his monster army in the Monster Graveyard. Ultraman Mebius and Gomora lead the charge, taking out any monster than got in their way, but even with both of them managing to confront Belial, their power was no match for the evil ultra. To make matters worse, Belial struck Rei with a portion of his own Reiblood energy, corrupting Rei and transforming him into his Burst Mode. As a result, Gomora transformed into Reionic Burst Gomora as well, and Belial sent the crazed duo to attack their own comrades. Thanks to Gomora's power boost, the ultras couldn't stand up to his transformed state and during which, Ultraseven was mortally wounded by the monster stabbing him and charging his innards with its Super Oscillatory Ray. It wasn't until the timely intervention of the ZAP SPACY and Ultraman Dyna's arrival in which Rei managed to regain control of himself. During which, Reionic Burst Gomora was recalled before he could do anymore damage to anyone else.
Finally once Belial transformed into Beryudora after merging with his monster army, Rei summoned EX Gomora (having powered up Gomora before summoning him) to assist the ultra brothers in battling against Belial's ultimate monster. However even at the peak of his power, EX Gomora couldn't do much on his own against the titanic conglomerate monster, and was easily swatted away by one of Beryudora's tentacles. EX Gomora however continued to fight on, and like the ultras, he assisted them in distracting Beryudora by firing on him with his EX Super Oscillatory Ray, long enough for Ultraman Belial to be defeated by Ultraman Zero.
Ultra Galaxy Legend Side Story: Ultraman Zero vs. Darklops Zero[]
- Main article: Mecha Gomora
Two variations of Rei's Gomora appeared on Planet Chain during the events of the Alien Salome's planned conquest of the Multiverse. The first Gomora belonged to a Rei from an alternate universe, where the ZAP SPACY crew of that universe was drawn to the Alien Salome's base of operations. The alternate Rei's Neo Battle Nizer was soon confiscated and modified by the alien's technology, creating Mecha Gomora as a result, while Rei went into hiding. The ZAP SPACY crew desperately sent out a distress signal to that of the main universe's ZAP SPACY, where Rei and Hyuga received the call and followed after, arriving on Planet Chain just in time to see their alternate universe's counterparts fade away into light particles.
The main universe's Rei first summoned Gomora to protect him and Hyuga from a missile barrage by Mecha Gomora (who was unleashed by the Alien Salome to attack the ZAP SPACY), and the two Gomoras fought fiercely. However, Mecha Gomora's modifications proved to be far superior to that of the original's, as the mechanical double easily beat Gomora into submission by bombarding him with missiles, lasers, and his upgraded Mega Super Oscillatory Wave. However before the robot could finish off his fleshy counterpart, Ultraman Zero arrived, saving the ZAP SPACY by battling Mecha Gomora himself, allowing Rei to recall Gomora to recover from the fight.
Gomora was later summoned again inside the Alien Salome's base after Rei retrieved his Neo Battle Nizer from Hyuga (having lost it during the fight with Mecha Gomora), and the monster immediately destroyed a squadron of the aliens' robot ultras. The Alien Salome retaliated by releasing a now-repaired Mecha Gomora, who immediately resumed its fight with Gomora. Much like their last battle, Mecha Gomora had the upper hand physically and it beat down Gomora with ease. The situation worsened when Darklops Zero appeared, as the rogue robot reprogrammed Mecha Gomora to assist him in double-teaming Gomora. Luckily, Rei received help from the alternate Reimon (the other Rei managed to stall his erasure by staying in his Reimon form), who lent Rei what remained of his Reiblood powers to strengthen his Gomora, as well as the returning Ultraman Zero (after his battle with the robot ultra brothers). With the ultra teaming up with Gomora to even the odds, Mecha Gomora was quickly overpowered by the duel Reis powering-up Gomora, and the robot was soon destroyed by Gomora's Super Oscillatory Ray. With it's task fulfilled, Gomora was recalled by Rei.
Ultraman Zero Side Story: Killer the Beatstar[]
Gomora was used once more when the ZAP SPACY were investigating the inside of Beatstar's artificial celestial planet. He was first summoned by Rei to save Princess Emerana from a Legionoid Beta that was attacking her. Gomora had no trouble beating down the robot, and after a short fight, the monster stabbed the Legionoid with his horn and overloaded it with his Super Oscillatory Ray, destroying the robot. Shortly after though, Gomora was then confronted by three more robots: King Joe, Imperializer, and Ace Killer. Gomora was quickly overwhelmed by the three robots working together, and with a strange fog that was surrounding the combatants causing Gomora to be drained of his powers, he was ultimately forced to retreat back to Rei's Neo Battle Nizer to recover. Gomora would later be summoned again, where he assisted Jean-Bot in fending off an army of King Joes, while Ultraman Zero went off to deal with Beatstar himself.

Notes[]
- Over the course of his appearances, three suits were used for Rei's Gomora:
- The first suit (used in Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle) was the same Gomora suit that was used for the Monster's appearances in Ultraman Max and Ultraman Mebius, albeit with his head crest painted and his face altered to resemble that of the original Gomora's appearance. This suit would later be repainted to become the suit used for Reionic Burst Gomora in the sequel series, Never Ending Odyssey. Lastly, the suit was altered entirely, transforming it into the Monster, Zaragas.
- The second suit (used in Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey) was a brand new suit, meant to be used for Gomora whereas the previous suit was modified into Reionic Burst Gomora. This new suit was designed to resemble the original Gomora even moreso than the previous suit, albeit slightly baggier-looking. Ironically, this suit would later be repainted to become the suit used for Reionic Burst Gomora in the film, Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie.
- The third suit (used in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie) was another brand new suit, meant to be used for Gomora whereas the previous suit was modified into Reionic Burst Gomora. This suit is currently active and is still being used for Gomora's reoccurring appearances to this day.
