Line 12:
And for the baseball rules itself, nothing much has changed except that the use of three randomly-selected gadgets are allowed for both teams.

=== ''Dorabase'' contains examples of: ===
* [[Accidental Athlete]]: Hiroshi was found out to have a strong shoulder by Kuro, but has trouble controlling it.
* [[The Ace]]: [[The Rival|Shiro]][[Always Someone Better|emon]], Doraichiro and Kuro to some extent. Drump, Emoll and some others would also qualify. Basically, one that can put up a fight with The Doras after Volume 2.
Line 26:
* [[Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat]]: {{spoiler|Subverted, since Amoll wins against Shiro anyways. He does eventually get defeated by the Doras in the finale}}.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Hiroshi's father died.
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: The shape of the W ball and subsequent evolutions. The Dragonfly ball stops in the air, and one might wonder why it's not called the Hummingbird ball instead.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|The Doras 2nd squad, under the influence of Doranosuke}}. [[Heel Face Turn|They later changed back to good, however]].
* [[Flash Back]]: Happens occasionally, mostly centering around Kuro/Shiro or Hiroshi's backstory.
Line 36:
* [[Idiot Hair]]: Komatsugawa has one, probably to emphasize that he is the weakest link in the Whiters. After he practices, his skills improved, but still retains the hair.
** Monga in the first volume also has one, which changes according to the ball that he's going to throw.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Monga and his team. Shiroemon, too.
* [[Just a Machine]]: Gagne, Amoll's owner, considers Amoll this. Leads to a bit of [[Fridge Horror]], since all the other robot characters (sentient ones at least) can freely do whatever they want, implying that Gagne still thinks of robots as slaves that are bound to humans.
* [[Large Ham]]: Considering how much the characters cry the names of their [[Signature Move]], random screams, and the number of battlecries, most of the main players are this.
* [[Late for School]]: Kuro and Shiro do this often.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kuro and Shiro (black and white, respectively), and most characters in the Doras ''not'' named Hiroshi or Mika (Paku means "fat", Hyoro means "tall and thin", Tora means "tiger", Chibi means "small", etc.). Averted with Pyoko, Suzu, Aimond, and Mike-emon. The members of Akane Flyers are named after dragonflies. The name Trump ([[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|Drump]] in some translations, but Trump makes more sense) from Devil Kings seems to emphasize his card-related [[Signature Move]], and the author has repeatedly used references from countries of opposing teams in the WABC arc.
* [[Moe Anthropomorphism]]: An extra story in volume 17 has someone who looks [[Author Avatar|suspiciously similar]] to Mugiwara Shintaro asking the characters to help him finish a manga before the deadline (without thinking why the hell he would ask a bunch of baseball athletes for help...), and they proceed to ''totally destroy it to pieces''. Said manga is basically ''[[Dorabase (Manga)|Dorabase]]'' {{smallcaps|With human characters!}}, and to top it off, some of the pages are blatant parodies of volume 3's pages. [[Rule of Funny|Oh, and the characters never comment on this]].
* [[The Mole]]: Mike-emon, {{spoiler|before he got accepted}}.
* [[Neat Freak]]: Originally, Suzuemon. But he got better.
* [[Never Live It Down]]: [[In -Universe]]. Shiro is always quick to call Kuro a dumb robot, even though he has greatly improved overall. It may also be an insult that it took him so long to finally become better at baseball.
* [[One Word Title]]: Subverted. The actual title is ''Doraemon Super Baseball Side Story''.
* [[Only Friend]]: It is implied that Kuro and Shiro are this to each other, possibly because of their reputation for being a failure.
* [[Perpetual Smiler]]: Amoll. {{spoiler|Also counts as a [[Stepford Smiler]], since he acts as the antagonist during the Kabuto Mushi Cup arc}}.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: {{spoiler|Guriemon}}. He later came back in volume 6, {{spoiler|as a member of an opposing team in Amoll's order}}. He was then put on a bus ''again'', then came back again in volume 20 {{spoiler|to replace Hyoroemon who quits to help out his owner's fish store}}.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Hyoro and Aimond, respectively. Aimond can shift from being the latter to the former, but Hyoro is always the Red Oni.
* [[The Rival]]: To Kuro, [[Worthy Opponent|Shiroemon]] ([[Meaningful Name|who else]]?) and the Whiters (and vice versa). To a lesser extent, the Yamadera Bears and Devil Kings.
Line 54:
* [[Rocket Punch]]: Not exactly for combat, but Pyokoemon's [[Easily-Detachable Robot Parts]] (with springs) are used to catch ridiculously high balls.
* [[Running Gag]]: After the WABC arc, Suzu's [[The Faceless|face is never shown]] whenever he does something awesome.
* [[Signature Move]]: A lot. Kuro's is the Deadly Daikon Moon Swing, Shiro's is the White Ball and its variations, Hiroshi's is the forkball (though this has been appearing less overtime), Aimond's is the Barbeque Impact, Drump's is the Queen Ball, Spade King, and Royal Straight Flush. [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|Amoll/Emoll's ]]is the Dragonfly Ball, Red Dragonfly Ball, and Variety of Dragonfly. Monta defies this by using extremely fast straightballs, and is shown to openly dislike variation balls.
* [[The Smart Guy]]: Guriemon.
* [[Standing in Thethe Hall]]: One flashback scene showed Kuro and Shiro doing this.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: {{spoiler|Amoll. Also a case of [[Broken Ace]] since behind all the popularity he has, he struggles to play baseball since his owner doesn't allow him to}}.
* [[Tagalong Kid]]: Chibi, who the team finds floating in the Edogawa river.
Line 64:
* [[Tournament Arc]]: One after another. Justified since it is a sports manga, if they didn't join any tournaments it'll be a [[Slice of Life]] series where they just practice.
* [[The Unfettered]]: {{spoiler|Amoll, and to some extent the Akane Flyers. Even though he had great skills and a strong [[Signature Move]], he probably needed to make sure that he wins through the Kabuto Mushi Cup. He didn't, but Gagne allows him to play baseball anyways. Drump also qualifies, though he usually does it outside the game.}}
* [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity]]: {{spoiler|Amoll. Also a (literal) [[Stepford Smiler]] [[Broken Ace]], see above.}}.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Many, but most obviously Kuro to Shiro. Lampshaded a couple times.
