He takes immense pride in the Nijiku family's noble reputation and works tirelessly to uphold their honor through his service in the Hell Guard.
However, beneath his stern exterior lies a man struggling with insecurity and complex emotions. The exile of his younger brother Zanka, who chose to become a Giver and join the Cleaners, created a deep wound in Goka's sense of family unity.

🧠Personality & Inner Conflict
Stern Warrior Exterior
Goka presents himself as a serious, blunt, and aloof warrior who maintains a stern expression, especially during Hell Guard missions. His authoritative demeanor befits his position as second-in-command—he issues orders that are productive and efficient, demonstrating the tactical acumen expected of Nijiku family members. He follows Kyouka's commands without question, showcasing his deep loyalty to both family and military hierarchy.
Hidden Insecurities
Beneath his stoic veneer, Goka harbors significant insecurities about his own abilities and worth. He struggles with feelings of inadequacy, particularly when comparing himself to Zanka, in whom he recognized exceptional potential. These insecurities reveal the pressure of being the middle child in such a prestigious family—not the eldest who inherited leadership, nor the youngest who showed prodigious talent.
Kyouka's Reassurance
In the past, Kyouka consoled Goka over his insecurities, reminding him that he possesses many good qualities that distinguish him from Zanka. She emphasized that his strengths are different from their younger brother's, and that such comparisons are unfair to both of them. This sisterly support highlights the complex but caring relationship between the Nijiku siblings, even as their paths have diverged.
Complex Feelings Toward Zanka
Following Zanka's exile from the family for becoming a Giver and joining the Cleaners, Goka treats his younger brother with harsh strictness and cold disdain. However, this harsh exterior masks deeper, more complicated emotions. Goka still cares for Zanka—shown through subtle moments of worry and his anger when Zanka is hurt—but his pride and sense of family honor prevent him from openly expressing these feelings. This internal conflict between love and bitterness defines much of Goka's emotional landscape.
Character Complexity: Goka embodies the tragedy of someone trapped between duty and emotion, tradition and personal feeling. His character explores how family expectations and personal insecurities can create barriers even between people who genuinely care for each other, adding emotional depth to Gachiakuta Anime's themes of family and identity.
👨👩👦Nijiku Family Dynamics
As the middle sibling of the prestigious Nijiku family, Goka occupies a unique and often challenging position. His relationships with both Kyouka and Zanka shape his character and motivations throughout Gachiakuta Anime.
Loyalty to Kyouka
Goka serves directly under his older sister Kyouka as second-in-command of the Red Horn squad. Their professional relationship demonstrates mutual respect and trust—Goka follows her orders without hesitation, while Kyouka values his tactical abilities and leadership. Beyond their military roles, Kyouka has provided emotional support during Goka's moments of self-doubt, showing the caring bond beneath their formal hierarchy.
Conflict with Zanka
Zanka's decision to leave The Sphere and join the Cleaners created a painful rift in the Nijiku family. For Goka, who takes such pride in their noble reputation, this choice felt like a betrayal of everything the family stands for. His harsh treatment of Zanka stems from a complex mix of emotions—disappointment, anger, worry, and perhaps jealousy of Zanka's courage to forge his own path.
Despite his cold exterior, Goka's subtle expressions of concern for Zanka reveal that brotherly love persists beneath the bitterness. This internal conflict between family duty and personal affection makes Goka one of the series' most emotionally complex characters.
