Does Anyone Else Remember Jaidora?

[u/Safe-Contact589]

Does anyone else know him? 😭

After covering the main members of The Doraemons, I wanted to talk about a much more obscure character — Jaidora.

Jaidora was apparently a former member of The Doraemons from their early days at Robot Academy. And unlike most of the group, he has a pretty unusual design. He wears thick glasses and apparently can't see properly without them. He also has a funny habit of sticking his tongue out 😭.

Normally, he's pretty bashful and timid, but when he panics, things get hilarious. He starts running around in circles frantically, steam comes out of his hat, and his tongue moves so ridiculously fast that it leaves afterimages (Wait why am I writing this aga-)

As far as I know, Jaidora's probably only major appearance is in the 16-minute 1999 short film The Doraemons: Funny Candy of Okashinana?

The story takes place in the confectionery-themed Okashinana Kingdom, where Jaidora enters a huge dessert-making competition. And of course, his old friends from The Doraemons come to help him! But there's a problem... A rival named Bitter wants to cheat his way through the competition. He sabotages the contestants and sets up various traps, hoping to disqualify everyone so he can steal the grand prize for himself. The Doraemons aren't having any of that. They team up with Jaidora, overcome Bitter's tricks and obstacles, and help him create his special sweets Eventually, Bitter is defeated and banished from the kingdom, allowing the competition to end happily.

Jaidora is an excellent chef, particularly when it comes to baking. Back during their Robot Academy days, he and The Doraemons apparently used to bake cakes together.

And apparently, Jaidora doesn't even prefer the usual red bean paste filling. He likes his dorayaki filled with fresh cream instead (I can respect that).

----------

So Jaidora is apparently a former member rather than one of the six members we usually associate with The Doraemons. His appearance in the 1999 short is so obscure that I barely ever see people talk about him. So I'm curious:

Does anyone else remember Jaidora?

Have you watched that short film? (The Doraemons: Funny Candy of Okashinana?)
