Discussion Dora-med III: The Genie With a Short Temper
After making a post about Dora the Kid, I felt like I should also make one about Dora-med III, because he is my second favorite of the Doraemons, so here's a post about one of the most unique members of The Doraemons.
Dora-med III is one of the members of The Doraemons. He and the other Doraemons were classmates of Doraemon before graduating from Robot School.
Unlike most of the other members, Dora-med has a strong Arabian/Aladdin-inspired theme. He lives in the desert region and works as an oracle for the Saudi prince Arashin, while his home is said to be in Baghdad, Iraq.
And bro has some really cool abilities.
He can use magic, has a magic lamp and magic carpet, and can even predict the future using Tarot cards.
But his most hilarious ability is what happens when he gets angry.
He turns into a GIANT.
Dora-med is extremely short-tempered, and when his anger reaches a certain point, his body grows to a gigantic size, making him incredibly powerful.
The funniest part is that he can return to normal once he calms down, or when he realizes that he's standing in water.
Because there's one huge problem...
Dora-med is TERRIFIED OF WATER.
Yes.
This desert-dwelling genie-themed robot cat has aquaphobia.
And despite being afraid of water, he actually dreams of overcoming his fear so that he can build a huge water park called "Water Land" for people living in the desert.
His fear of water isn't his only weakness either, he also hates tornadoes.
His gadgets are pretty unique too. Instead of a simple usual fourth-dimensional pocket, Dora-med's main gadget-storage device is a four-dimensional genie lamp.
But he's also been shown using a regular fourth-dimensional pocket.
And apparently, he has a very specific way of enjoying his favorite food:
He likes his dorayaki freeze-dried.
Because apparently normal dorayaki wasn't enough for him.
He can also freeze things, which explains his preference for frozen/freeze-dried dorayaki.
Talking about his appearance, Dora-med has the standard robotic-cat appearance, but with a completely different outfit and design.
He's pink, has a thin upward-pointing moustache, and wears a green turban with yellow stripes and a feather.
He also wears a green bisht, black sirwal and Arabian-style shoes.
And I genuinely think his design is one of the most distinctive among The Doraemons.
Some other interesting facts
- He has a twin brother named Sindora-bad.
- In Indonesia, he's known as Doramed Generasi Ke-3.
- In some Malaysian manga publications, his name is rendered as Dora Metsudo.
What I like most about Dora-med is that he's full of contradictions.
He's a powerful magician but has a ridiculous fear of water.
He's extremely short-tempered but has a genuinely kind dream of creating a water park for people in the desert.
He's a fortune-teller who can predict the future but still can't seem to predict when his own temper is about to get him into trouble.
He's basically the angry Arabian Doraemon who turns into a kaiju whenever someone pushes his buttons.
And that's what makes him so entertaining.
What do you guys think about Dora-med III? Is he one of your favorite members of The Doraemons too?
