Personality
Ever since he appeared, Dagama has been shown plotting with and bribing the other competitors in his block to gain the upper hand. When the Funk Brothers called him out on this, he told them to stop acting like they weren't plotting something also.

When the B Block battle royale started, he commanded his collaborators to gang up on Bellamy. He then stated that "all that matters is the last man standing... the ends justify the means" showing that Dagama will do whatever it takes to win. Later he was shown betraying his collaborators and even attempted to attack Bluegilly while his back was turned, showing that he has no honor. It was stated by Bluegilly that Dagama is a very shady and untrustworthy person.

Thanks to his cunning and strategic capacity, he arranged for an alliance with various gladiators, such as Tank Lepanto and Bluegilly, during the B Block battle royale.

Weapons
He has been seen holding both a long spiked club and two katanas, although his level of proficiency with them is unknown.

Dressrosa Arc
He came from the Prodence Kingdom with his king, Elizabello II, to compete for the Mera Mera no Mi. He was first seen arguing with the Funk Brothers after they called him out on trying to plot with the other competitors. He then stated that the country that wins the Mera Mera no Mi would gain massive leverage when it came to diplomatic relations and the threat of war, before mentioning the names a few big name fighters.

As Block B was about to start, he entered the arena, along with all other Block B contestants. After Bartolomeo scared the audience with a fake bomb, Dagama scolded him and told him that he was making himself unpopular.

As the fight started, Dagama teamed up with Elizabello II, Tank Lepanto, and several other fighters to take out some of their adversaries. Elizabello asked Dagama whether they should take out Bellamy first, to which Dagama agreed, and stated that they should take out the biggest threats first before their numbers decrease. When Bartolomeo and Bellamy complained about it, Dagama simply told them that the ends justify the means. Dagama and some of the other gladiators were guarding Elizabello so as to give him time to prepare his devastating punch.



Dagama later said that, now that everyone was wounded, it was time to carry out the plan. He then called out to Bluegilly, a martial artist from the Longleg Tribe. After that, Dagama and Bluegilly started to attack the group of gladiators surrounding Elizabello II from behind. After defeating some of them, he sarcastically thanked them and said he would give them their reward later if they wished. It was then revealed that Bluegilly was actually working with Dagama all along, and that he was hired to take out all the gladiators that were protecting the king. He then said that fighters who did not use their brain could only serve as pawns and told Bluegilly to take out the remainder of them. But as soon as Bluegilly turned his back to him, Dagama immediately tried to take him out as well. But before he could attack him, Bluegilly took him out with a kick which through him out of the ring where he then was intercepted by a fighting fish.
