TV Special
Description
El Matadora is a robot distinguished by ox horns instead of cat ears. He resides in 17th-century Spain, maintaining a civilian identity as a dishwasher and waiter at a gyūdon restaurant named Carmen. His immense strength frequently shatters dishes, provoking reprimands from the establishment's hot-tempered owner chef.
Originally from the Robot Academy, he was among seven mischievous, rule-breaking students. A pivotal mission to rescue fellow students Sunekuchi and Jaides—who had manipulated Doraemon into aiding gadget theft—united him with Dora the Kid, Wang Dora, Dora-rinho, Dora-nichov, and Dora Med III. Their successful collaboration forged lasting bonds, and they acquired "Bestfriend Telecards" (or "Friendship Telecards") to combat evil collectively. After graduation, El Matadora relocated to Spain, assuming his restaurant role while operating covertly as the superhero Keikai-Dora.
As Keikai-Dora, he dons a Magic Cloak over his head and body, serving as a local hero who defends the impoverished and maintains order. His non-lethal methods include severing adversaries' pants or carving his "D" crest onto their clothing, parodying the Zorro archetype.
El Matadora exhibits a macho, brash, and coarse demeanor, often clashing with Wang Dora—whom he views as nosy yet acknowledges as a capable rival and friend. Around women, his manner shifts: he becomes polite, addresses them as "señorita," and offers a rose clamped in his mouth. Carmen, the owner chef's daughter and a skilled cook, is his love interest; she knows his dual identity.
His capabilities center on extraordinary strength, ranking him the mightiest among his peers. He effortlessly swings bulls and once lifted an adult elephant—though this resulted in disqualification from a Robolympics weightlifting event for eschewing barbells. He uses his Magic Cloak to deflect bullets or blow away foes. He consumes dorayaki with spaghetti sauce.
A notable weakness is his propensity for unpredictable naps, occurring even mid-crisis. Balancing secrecy, work, and impulsiveness complicates his daily existence.
