Movie
Description
Dr. Mashirito stands as a primary antagonist in the *Dr. Slump* universe, an evil scientist driven by ambitions of world domination and a fierce rivalry with Senbei Norimaki. His intelligence matches or exceeds Senbei's, paired with pronounced arrogance, perversion, and megalomania.
His debut sees him build the robotic suit Caramel Man 001 to battle Arale Norimaki, identified by a magic mirror as the world's strongest robot. This Penguin Village clash concludes with Caramel Man 001 devoured by Gatchan, crushing Mashirito's scheme. In the film *Dr. Slump: Hoyoyo! Space Adventure*, existing outside the main series continuity, Mashirito traps teacher Midori Yamabuki by luring her to her home planet under false pretenses to force marriage. Senbei, Arale, and students intervene to save her. Mashirito also performs the song "Love Chaser" within this film.
After repeated defeats, Mashirito constructs a series of "Caramel Man" robots, culminating in Caramel Man 004, later named Obotchaman. Obotchaman rebels upon discovering Mashirito deceived him about Arale, ultimately destroying Mashirito during a tournament while disguised as her. This reduces Mashirito's cyborg body, designated Caramel Man 009, to a single bolt, causing his death.
Mashirito returns as a ghost, vowing global conquest. He later escapes from Hell (or HFIL) during the Dragon Ball Super "Future" Trunks Saga. Disrupting an invention award ceremony, he uses a chemical called Playtime X to amplify Arale and Gatchan's playfulness, triggering chaos. His ghostly form resists physical attacks until Beerus, summoned by globally imagined food, obliterates him with Hakai, erasing his soul.
Mashirito reappears alive in *The Brief Return of Dr. Slump*, hosting the "Penguin Village Game Grand Prix" and deploying Caramel Man 010 against the village, despite his prior erasure. He also serves as a primary antagonist in video games like *Jump Super Stars* and *Jump Ultimate Stars*, utilizing inventions such as the "Protagonist Tractor Beam" to kidnap Shonen Jump heroes in attempts to conquer the Jump World.
His design and persona draw inspiration from Akira Toriyama's first editor, Kazuhiko Torishima. The name "Mashirito" is an anagram of "Torishima," and his exclamation "Rejected!" references Torishima's frequent rejections of Toriyama's ideas. Mashirito has a son, Dr. Mashirito Jr., who creates an evil Arale counterpart named Abale.
