  • Ascended Fanboy: They consists of Edogawa Doras’ fanboys who wished to join the team and were recruited by Doranosuke who posed as the team’s coach.
  • Face–Heel Turn
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: At first, they were just a bunch of kids who didn’t even know how to throw a ball properly. Several chapters after, under Doranosuke‘s Training from Hell, while they won their way through the 32nd Big Dome Cup by making sure their opponents couldn’t put up a match in the first place, they’re proved to be genuine threats to Edogawa Doras.
  • Hated by All: In the circle of participants in the 32nd Big Dome Cup at least. Their callous, victory-obsessed and power-hungry attitude is severely looked down, even Monta.
  • Training from Hell:

    Bubuta 

Position: Pitcher
Jacket number: 11

Captain of the 2nd Squad. He is a pig-like robot who always wanted to join the Doras after seeing the match between Doras and Whiters. His special hand allows him to throw the curveball, slider and forkball very well. He is also fairly good at batting.

  • Affably Evil: Most notably after his Face–Heel Turn. Bubuta maintains his polite attitude even when he is openly trashtalking his opponents and looking down on them.
  • Difficult, but Awesome: His pitching style and arsenal revolves around pitching breaking balls such as curveball, slider and forkball, which is enabled by his special hand and nails. However, this also carries a high injury risk, which ended up costing his outing against the Whiters.
  • Fanboy: Of the Doras and Kuroemon and the biggest one of his brothers, which inspired him to ask them up and join the team. Later volumes also reveal that he's a huge fan of Shiroemon, as he tried to imitate White Ball before officially joining a team.
  • Jack of All Stats: On top of being a skilled pitcher, he also possesses decent batting skills, which is even more pronounced after his return in Volume 20.
  • The Leader: He's the lynchpin of the Pigsy brothers, and later goes on to lead the entire Great Doras team, even revolting against Doranosuke in the process after their Heel–Face Turn.
  • Nice Guy: Easy to get along with, polite and soft-spoken. No longer the case after his Face–Heel Turn along with the rest of the squad, but he did get better after the game against Doras.
  • Voice for the Voiceless: He's this to both of his brothers. While Bebeta does speak, he does so very rarely, making Bubuta practically their voice and translator, as he does the most talking out of the brothers.

    Bebeta 

Position: Catcher
Jacket number: 22

One of the 3 pig-like robots. He is the strongest member of the team and can even break a metal bat easily, however he lacks endurance (he fainted after throwing a 170km/h fastball). He performed fairly well in catching and batting.


  • Glass Cannon: While no doubt reliable in terms of strength, he lacks stamina and tires easily, so much that he fainted after throwing one 170 km/h fastball.
  • Terse Talker: Not as bad as Bobota, but he's not a guy of many words for sure. You can count the times he actually speaks in the entire series on one hand.
  • The Stoic: He never emotes, even when breaking an aluminium bat after striking out against Shiroemon.

    Bobota 

Position: First base
Jacket number: 33

The biggest member of the team, he can do a pitch with his nose instead of his hand. His specialty is the Multi-image ball.


  • Difficult, but Awesome: He is able to conjure up a magic pitch in the multi-image ball, which gave the Whiters severe trouble when they first faced it. However, due to the pitch requiring his boogers to work, the moment they run out the pitch becomes unusable, and he ended up getting injured from a fatal nosebleed when he forced himself to pitch.
  • Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Pitches by putting the ball on his nose and blowing them from the mound. This led to a big Face Plant moment from the usually calm and collected Whiters (yes, even Shiroemon).
  • The Quiet One: Never speaks at all. Bubuta usually does the job of translating what he says to his other teammates.

    Sukuro 

Position: Third base
Jacket number: 15

A black cat-like robot, he is believed to bring bad lucks. However, with this "ability", he helped team Doras win the quarter-final and semi-final of the 32nd Big Dome Cup without doing anything. He is also the only one from the second squad to survive in the marathon which will decide the main players of the Doras.


  • Cat Stereotype: A black cat who brings bad lucks.
  • The Jinx: He brings misfortune to anyone he shakes hands with, usually in the form of stomachache. Though this works in Great Doras’ favor in the 32nd Big Dome Cup as he helps them get through 2 matches without dropping a sweat.

    Pochiemon 

Position: Shortstop
Jacket number: 16


    Ratta 

Position: Second base
Jacket number: 14

An otter robot who has quick reflexes.


    Suneto Honeyama 

Position: Center fielder
Jacket number: 18


    Takeru Gori 

Position: Left fielder
Jacket number: 17


    Shizuo Mihara 

Position: Right fielder
Jacket number: 19


Coach

    Dora Nosuke 

Position: Coach
Jacket number: 30

Former coach of Kunugiyama Bugs. After losing to Edogawa Doras, he decided to help the Doras win against the Akane Flyers. However, he was not accepted as their coach, so he applied many newcomers, including the Pigsy Brothers: Bubuta, Bebeta and Bobota, to form the Doras' second squad. Eventually, they quit the Doras and then took up the name "Great Doras".


  • Ambition Is Evil: He wants to create the greatest baseball team ever and approached Edogawa Doras for that purpose. As they refused to let him be their coach, he practically tricks unknowing kids into becoming a team using Doras’ name without the team’s consent and in-all-but-name abuses the kids to the point they only play to win, losing every bit of their former passion.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: In his first appearance, he was a wacky old man kicked out of Kunugiyama Bugs due to failing his job, but showed himself to have good insight and knew his way around baseball when briefly giving Doras’ advice.
  • Evil Is Petty: Edogawa Doras didn’t accept him as their coach, and kicked him out because he recruited new members against their will.
  • Karma Houdini: He never gets punished for his surprisingly long series of misdeeds (considering this manga is kid friendly and has downplayed as many stuffs from the darker side of sports as possible). The list includes tricking people using a qualified baseball team’s name - a team with members who have competed in an international cup for that matter, trying to trap Edogawa Doras inside an environment that can get them heavily injured just so Great Doras can win without a match, and he’s also implied to have abused the kids he recruited through a form of Training from Hell so that they become sport machines he can use at will.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: After Great Doras’ Heel–Face Turn, he’s seen lurking away mumbling that he "needs to find a new team". However, from then on nothing about him is ever mentioned again.
