Biology[]

Dr. Nocturne is a recolor of Dr. E. Raser, with the same appearance and beakers, but different colors. He has long, red, spiky hair, a skull with yellow pupils, a black ghost tail, and bare skeleton hands. He wears a black lab coat and a belt with a round buckle. The chemicals inside his three beakers are colored red, green, and purple, with a lime green aura surrounding them.

Dr. Nocturne was originally a human from Springdale, named Cliff Nocturne (Japanese: 影村たかし Kagemura Takashi). During his childhood, his father became neglectful towards his family, until his mother decided to leave him. Around 50 years before the events of the series, he and his mother moved to Dukesville.

Sometime before the events of Yo-kai Watch 3, they both passed away, with Dr. Nocturne becoming a Yo-kai afterwards.

Per Dr.Maddiman's Bizzare Room, it is stated that some time after his death, Dr.Nocturne began searching for his father. However, it is unsure if this is canon.

Profile[]

Yo-kai Watch 3[]

During the quest "A Cry for Help and a Family in Need!", originally added in the Japanese version's 3.0 Update, Hailey Anne and Usapyon end up searching for Dr. Maddiman's estranged family, eventually coming across the "Nocturne" family grave in Dukesville. When Dr. Nocturne spots them there, he assumes they're vandals and attacks them. After the battle, he is scolded by Molar Petite for just attacking them like that.

Hailey Anne deduces that he must be Dr. Maddiman's son, and asks him if he would go back to Springdale with them, to reunite with his father. Despite agreeing to this, he ultimately doesn't show up, leaving behind a can of Doctor Rapper and a letter addressed to his father instead.

At some point later, he arranges for Tie-red to inspirit Hailey Anne's father, causing the latter to go home for the first time in a while and be with his family.

Dr. Nocturne can be fought and befriended in the Hazy Lane.

Alternatively, Dr. Nocturne can be freed specifically from the Dream Roulette in St. Peanutsburg with Blue Coins, One-Star Coins and Five-Star Coins. He can also be freed with Super Blue Coins, Ultra Blue Coins, Special Coins, Kai Mystery Coins, Tempura Coins, Belly Buster Coins, Beaming Coins, and Legend Coins.

He can also be found in Blasters T in Enma Palace's Dark Labyrinth.

Dr. Nocturne from MN046

Dr. Nocturne makes his debut in MN046 where he captures Tomnyan and the rest of the 'Merican volleyball team, replacing them with Venoctobot. Jibanyan and the Japanese team battle in a game against Venoctobot, eventually succeeding, leading to Dr.Nocturne handing over the hostage team.

Etymology[]

  • Dr. Kagemura is taken from "Kagemura" (Japanese: かげむら lit. "Shadow Village"), which is part of Nocturne Hospital's Japanese name, "Kagemura-iin" (Japanese: かげむら医院 "Kagemura Clinic").
  • Likewise, Dr. Nocturne is taken from Nocturne Hospital's name as well.

  • In the Japanese version, his "random" nicknames include: "Aitsu no Musuko" (Japanese: あいつのむすこ "his son"), "Doku Mura" (Japanese: ドクムラ "Doc Mura"), and "San" (Japanese: サン from English "son").
    • "Kagemū" (Japanese: カゲムー) used to be one of them, but was strangely replaced in an update.
  • His Soultimate's Japanese name "Gekidoku Yaburekabure" is a reference to Dr. Maddiman's Japanese name: Yaburekabure-inchō.
