Appearance(s)

Gotoh (Japanese: ガトー Gato) is the legendary White Sage who assists Marth in his quests.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

Role

Gotoh first appears to Marth after his failed quest to retrieve Falchion from Gharnef, revealing Gharnef's weakness to Marth and telling him how to obtain it. Later on, Gotoh tells Marth his location and asks him to bring Starlight's ingredients to him. If Marth can bring Starlight's ingredients to Gotoh, he will assemble Starlight; however, if he does not have both, Gotoh will recommend Marth to use powerful weapons such as the Mercurius Rapier, Gradivus, or the Devil Axe to kill Medeus. Gotoh will eventually transport Marth to where Gharnef lies, and ultimately join Marth's side for the final battle against Medeus.

Book 1

Role

As in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Gotoh first appears to Marth after his failed quest to retrieve Falchion from Gharnef, revealing Gharnef's weakness to Marth and telling him how to obtain it. If Marth can bring Starlight's ingredients to Gotoh, he will assemble Starlight; Gotoh will eventually transport Marth to where Gharnef lies. Unlike in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Gotoh will not join Marth's party as a playable character.

Book 2

Role

Gotoh first appears to Marth in Khadein to tell him about Hardin's sudden change, revealing the cause and how to overcome it; he then tells Marth to visit him at the Ice Dragon Shrine. Once Marth makes it there, Gotoh asks Marth to hand over all of the Star Shards the party has collected. If all twelve Star Shards have been successfully collected, he will restore them into the Starsphere and tasks Marth into restoring the Binding Shield, allowing him access to Tiki in the process; if even one Star Shard is lost, Gotoh will take the shards the party has but not allow access to Tiki. Gotoh then warps the party away to Altea soon afterward, later warning Marth of Gharnef's return as well as his plan for the kidnapped clerics.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

Role

As in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Gotoh first appears to Marth after his failed quest to retrieve Falchion from Gharnef, revealing Gharnef's weakness to Marth and telling him how to obtain it. Later on, Gotoh tells Marth his location and asks him to bring Starlight's ingredients to him. If Marth can bring Starlight's ingredients to Gotoh, he will assemble Starlight; however, if he does not have both, Gotoh will recommend Marth to use powerful weapons such as Mercurius or Gradivus to kill Medeus. Gotoh will eventually transport Marth to where Gharnef lies. Should the player have kept either Tiki or Falchion intact, Gotoh will ultimately join Marth's side for the final battle against Medeus as in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light; should the player have lost both Tiki and Falchion, Gotoh will instead send Marth's party to an intermediate destination to acquire alternate means of taking on Medeus and will not join Marth's side for the final battle.

Growth rates when reclassed

Gotoh joins the party in the Endgame after the conclusion of the preparations phase, too late to make use of the reclassing system; he is nonetheless programmed to be able to reclass, and thus has these as his unused alternate growth rates.

Role

Gotoh first appears to Marth in Khadein to tell him about Hardin's sudden change, revealing the cause and how to overcome it; he then tells Marth to visit him at the Ice Dragon Shrine. Once Marth makes it there, Gotoh asks Marth to hand over all of the Star Shards the party has collected. If all twelve Star Shards have been successfully collected, he will restore them into the Starsphere and tasks Marth into restoring the Binding Shield, allowing him access to Tiki in the process; if even one Star Shard is lost, Gotoh will take the shards the party has but not allow access to Tiki. Gotoh then warps the party away to Altea soon afterward, later warning Marth of Gharnef's return as well as his plan for the kidnapped clerics.

Although Gotoh retains his NPC role, unused assets indicate he may have been intended to be playable at one point in development.

Death quote

The end...was so close...
— Gotoh, in Shadow Dragon.
To think... I would fall here...
— Unused quote intended to be Gotoh's death quote in Classic Mode of New Mystery of the Emblem.
To think I'd be cornered like this... My sincerest apologies, but I must withdraw...

Trivia

  • Gotoh is the only character from Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light who was cut from a playable role in Book 1 of Mystery of the Emblem to still appear in that book as an NPC character.
  • In Tear Ring Saga, there is a backstory character named Morse who is very similar to Gotoh.
  • Being playable for only one chapter, Gotoh has the worst availability in the Archanea series and ties with Athos and Lehran for the worst availability in the franchise, if one does not count the two parts of Light as separate chapters.
