"This is nice tropical weather, yes...warm enough to keep my toes from getting numb but still cold enough to kill the Earthlings."
Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug


Medamatcha (メダマッチャ Medamatcha) is one of Lord Slug's henchmen who appears in Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug.

Appearance[]

Medamatcha is a short, green-skinned, frog-faced alien with large yellow eyes, pointed ears, small horns and red lips. He has long arms and short stubby legs. He wears a brown band around his right arm, blue pants with a tied red cloth belt, and dark yellow and brown boots.

Personality[]

Medamatcha is cheerful, energetic and sadistic. He takes pleasure in causing pain and was gleefully eager to kill a injured and unresponsive Gohan. So much in fact, he tried to finish off the young Saiyan twice. When fighting, he giggles maniacally and derides his opponents.

Biography[]

Super Dragon Ball Heroes[]

Supreme Kai of Time Saga[]

Medamatcha's Lord Slug incarnation appears as one of the competitors in the Super Space-Time Tournament, along with his clan. In the manga, Medamatcha chases after Xeno Pan to absorb her energy with his Medas they are all defeated by Hit's Time-Skip. As a result of his team failing to advance to the second round of the tournament, Medamatcha and his space-time were erased.

Upon arriving on Earth, Medamatcha locates the Dragon Balls for Lord Slug along with Angila, Wings, and three other soldiers in less than one hour, finding the One-Star Ball in a nest.

When Gohan and Piccolo come to fight against Slug and his minions, Medamatcha takes on Gohan and fires Continuous Energy Bullets at him. Medamatcha then uses his ability to release small clones of himself from his body to exhaust Gohan's energy. After Piccolo shields Gohan from Medamatcha's Full Power Energy Wave, Medamatcha uses his absorption technique on Goku, but it fails and Goku punches him hard, sending him high into the air. Powering up and obliterating the Medas, Goku dispatches Angelia, blowing up his head, before Medamatcha falls back down. He falls onto Goku's outstretched hand, breaking his spine, killing him. Goku then lets his dead body fall to the ground.

Along with countless other Dragon Ball antagonists, Medamatcha and the Medas make their escape from Hell to the Earth.

Techniques and Special Abilities[]

MedameWave

Medamatcha fires a Full Power Energy Wave

  • Full Power Energy Wave – Medamatcha fired this lethal technique on Gohan, but Piccolo used his body to shield Gohan from the fatal attack.
  • Medas – The ability to release four small clones of himself, which he calls "Medas", from his body that will exhaust the opponent's energy through touch.
  • Energy Absorption - Besides using the Medas, Medamatcha can also drain energy by piercing his targets skin with his large fangs, sucking their energy out like a Vampire. He tries to use this on Goku after he has seemingly restrained the warrior with the Medas, but Goku proves too strong to be restrained even with the combined effort of Medamatcha and all four of his Medas.

Trivia[]

  • The part where Goku arrives and kills Medamatcha is similar to the way Goku incapacitates Nappa during the Vegeta Saga.
  • The clothes he wears are almost identical to that of the Mutated Namekian minions created by King Piccolo in Dragon Ball. This, along with Wings telling Piccolo that they were "from the same demon-clan", supports the idea that Lord Slug can summon Mutated Namekians.
  • Medamatcha's name comes from the Andromeda galaxy, similar to the rest of Slug's underlings,[3] and his name could be translated as "star medallion".
