Biology[]
Dober is a tall humanoid Doberman with a dark grey body that has black markings on the neck, arms, hands, torso, pelvic area, inside the ears and feet. Parts of his body are brown inside the ears, on the face and neck, his chest, his eyebrows, arms and legs. He has a grey nose, an oval-shaped head with three black lines, sharp white teeth, red orbs with a silver ring around it on his collarbone, a red u shaped marking on both shoulders, screws in his neck and on his torso, black triangles on the back of his hands and on top of his feet and a small, pointed tail. When powering up in the anime, his ears grow longer and his back two teeth get sharper.
As Shin Dober, the black parts of his body are now silver and the brown parts a lighter silver. His eyes are teal and his ears are ripped, missing the ball on top. The insides are purple with black and pink stripes at the tip. The circles over his shoulders are now pink spikes and the bolts on his neck gold. His stomach markings are purple, the U marks on his shoulders teal and the stripes down his arms pink. His back three pairs of teeth are also longer.
As Dober Vader, he has a royal blue body or body suit with dark grey armour on his pelvis, arms, legs, head and shoulders. His helmet has an opening around his snout and eyes surrounded with a lighter grey rim and he has dark teal markings on his ears and the back of his head. His eyes are light green with dark grey sclera. He has wide shoulder pads with a striped white segment at the front and a collar with round light red gems on it that resemble the ones from his first form. There is a colourful panel on his chest and he has a grey belt with a green gem at the front and blue markings around the edge. He has a long black cape with a blue lining and wields a blue sword with a black handle that resembles a lightsaber. In this form, he speaks with a muffled filter and has heavy breathing. His arms appear to be entirely cybernetic.
As a child, he is almost identical to his current appearance. He is smaller, has a shorter muzzle and no visible teeth on the side of his mouth.
Dober is a strong fighter, being named the strongest space soldier. He seems to enjoy fighting equal warriors as seen with his interest in Mikettio. He fights for his deceased friends from his home planet and the thought of failing them can bring him to tears. He is called a perfectionist by Mazera. He sees Elzekemia as his rival and will even protect the enemy if it means he can take the kill instead.
Profile[]
Y School Heroes: Bustlin' School Life[]
Dober is the final boss of the original game before the DLC. He is fought in the pyramid in the desert. In his first form his attacks are a triple punch with no visuals, a howl with a curved marker, a multi punch attack with a rectangle marker and a laser beam attack that follows characters. If hit with the howl attack, the player will revert from their Hero form to their human form. It is suggested to use long range attackers against him like Wild Boy or Sky Snaker. As a helper Alien, he uses his howl attack and leaves once his attack is over.
His second form, Shin Dober uses the same attacks as his last form as well as a charged up stomp attack that covers the whole arena. There is no way to avoid this attack without dodging so it must be perfectly timed. If hit by this attack, it also stuns the player. However, Dober charges up for a little while before this attack so it's a good time to use to attack him without worrying about a counterattack. Like all bosses that charge with a red aura, this attack can be cancelled if dealt enough damage. As a helper Alien, he uses this attack which covers a large circular area and can stun enemies. He leaves once his attack is over.
Dober Vader appears as a boss in the Let's go to space! Operation Hakayer DX mission. As a helper Alien, he uses the same attacks he uses as a boss and is mobile in battle.

In the anime[]

Dober's introduction in YG032

A young Dober from YG033
Dober debuts in YG032, where he is summoned by Mazera after Nayu's failings.
In YG033, he causes humans to become dogs. He confronts Jinpei, who uses Blue Moon against him. His abilities reveal that Dober was from the planet Doggie that was invaded by Mazera. Dober deflects Blue Moon's ability but is then fought off by Mikettio who briefly forms from Wampus, Goromi and Bluepon.
In YG034, Dober appears to deflect an attack from Elzekemia at Jinpei. He tells Elzekemia that he is his prey and the two fight, allowing the heroes to escape.
In YG036, Dober confronts the partner Onryo with them being no match. He wants to see Mikettio but the three Yo-kai don't want to become him. He lets out a roar, causing the three to fuse and become Mikettio. Feeling he might lose, Dober remembers why he's fighting, for his deceased friends on his home planet. He promises to fight for them but is instantly killed straight after by Mikettio.
In YG045, Dober returns as Dober Vader who is intent on seeing Mikettio again, trouncing the Yo-kai heroes who confront him. At first he is seemingly beating Jinpei but Goromi and Bluepon aid him by becoming a sword and a shield. Benimaru cleaves off his arms and eventually strikes him down. Dober remarks how he didn't even get to see Mikettio as he falls down and explodes.
Etymology[]
Dober comes from the word "Doberman" the breed of dog on which the character is based on.
Trivia[]
- In Bustlin' School Life before DLC, unique from other final bosses, Dober does not have a unique form for his second phase, but rather a stronger recolored version of himself.
- Dober Vader is heavily based on Darth Vader from Star Wars franchise. This is seen in his appearance, his voice and in the Bustlin' School Life, he uses lightning that resembles force lightning.
- Dober shares a skyward laser attack with the Doggy Special Task Force and Wan in Black in Bustlin' School Life, perhaps indicating it's a technique known by residents of Doggie.
