| “ | Remina, as president of your fanclub... I feel unbounded joy at the fact that I could help you. You've always captivated me. You're a beautiful flower. Just looking at you is enough. Yes. I must never do more than look at you. After all...you belong to all your fans around the world. You can't belong to any one person. | „ |
| ~ Naoya Goda after rescuing Remina from the mob, following the death of her father and Yasumi. |
Naoya Goda, more commonly known by his last name Goda, is the secondary antagonist of the Junji Ito manga Hellstar Remina.
Once the biggest fan of the titular protagonist, Goda had tried to gain Remina's affections throughout the first half, but was told off by her when he beat up another fan of her's for abandoning her. Following this, Goda had become the leader of a worldwide cult which had sought to Kill Remina under the belief that she and her father were summoning the planet Remina to eat the Earth.
What Makes him a Hate Sink?[]
- When he is first introduced, Goda is first seen engaged with being at Remina's sweet 16, though he is also seen fighting over her with another one of her fans, Kunihiro Mineishi. Throughout the course of the manga, Goda is consistently arguing with him and other characters over who is best fit to protect her, showing a sense of entitlement towards her.
- After Remina's father had been killed by the cult, and missiles had been shot at the Hellstar, they bounce back off of it, causing mass destruction to the city. While Goda does manage to save Remina from the cross thereafter, Remina is still upset at the fact that both Yasumi and her father had died at the hands of the cult. Despite this, Goda shows no empathy for this, and instead tells her about how she should be thankful that he saved her, and how neither of them were needed in her life.
- Goda becomes the leader of the cult that sought to kill her in the first place after he perceives her rejecting him.
- While as a cult leader, instead of having Remina killed off immediately, he orders Remina to run away from the cult in order to prolong her suffering, and tells the cult that in order to succeed in the ritual, they must torture her slowly.
- When Remina meets up with a Hobo, Goda once again sees the hobo as a form of competition, and orders for him to be tortured alongside her.
- Goda orders the cult to do such things as nearly drown the both of them in a sewer, hang them by their arms on a tree, and hit the both of them with metal pipes and whips.
- As Goda is whipping Remina, she is in tears and cries for both Yasumi and her father. Goda seems pleased by this, and orders for her to scream these names louder as he whips her.
- Only when the planet Remina appracohes Earth further, this is when he finally decides to have the both of them placed on the cross. He has the both of them dragged across the street.
- When Remina once again cries out for her father, Goda forces Remina to see the charred remains of her father, resulting form the missiles hitting Earth, which causes her to cry. Afterwards, he orders for her to be tied up on her father's side of the cross.
- Unlike in the prior ritual, where Remina's father was stabbed to death, Goda once again tries to make the torture prolonged, and orders the cult members to set a fire to the cross.
- When the planet Remina licks the planet a second time, while all of the other people in the group run away, Goda climbs up onto the cross, and proceeds to lick Remina's face while she is unconcious, essentially raping her.
- After the resulting tsunami, Goda captures Remina, and slams her against a building multiple times while she is still unconcious.
- At the end of the manga, when Goda has his mask removed, and is questioned for why he did what he did, he answers that he did it all out of a sense of entitlement towards Remina, telling her that she cannot belong to any single person.
- Although Goda was one of the first people to dismiss the idea of the human Remina being connected to the planet, this is cancelled out, as he himself becomes the leader of the group he at first sought to protect her against, and outright promotes the idea amongst the group.
