Biology
Appearance
Being the intended successor and recolor of Yopple-Bot, No-Bot is a robot very much like him, but darker in color.
His head is cylindrical in shape, with two small horn-like protrusions, and a blue wisp on top. A small yellow ball is attached to the wisp, giving it the appearance of a small hat.
His eyes are displayed via a small monitor on his face, and can change to different designs to show his mood. While it is not known how many expressions he is capable of displaying, he has less than Yopple-bot, and among others things, lacks the ability to express a smile.
His body is vaguely box-shaped, with the eye logo of the Ghoulfather's tower being printed on his chest. He usually has two wire-like arms, with two black, glove-like hands. Unlike Yopple-bot, his hands also feature claw like spikes on their fingertips.
A larger, blue wisp seems to act as his means of moving around, similar to a wheel.
When fighting, his wisps turn purple, and his horn-like protrusions grow in size. He also opens his mouth to reveal many sharp spikes, resembling teeth, and his eyes turn to an angry expression. Most notably, he will pull out a second pair of arms, wielding a laser gun and a missile launcher.
Personality
No-Bot possesses a foul mouth, to the point of talking under his breath and having an overall rude attitude. Despite having a somewhat aloof personality, he can also seem eager to please, occasionally trying to make funny jokes. In Katie's dimension, he acts more polite in presence of Mark Orckerberg, but will drop the act as soon as he leaves.
As a member of the Ghoulfamily, despite being supposed to be Nate and Hailey's enemy, he is very courteous with them, as he guides them in the Bada-Bing Tower and all the quest in the various floors in the tower, including his boss fight, seem to be more a test to measure their power than a try of destroying them. Also, he accompanies them to the top floor and he does not try anything to stop them.
Unlike Yopple-Bot, he is able to control his fighting mode and he uses it freely without his anger controlling him.
Powers and abilities
No-Bot can launch bombs and from his stomach and spout fire from his mouth. He is also shown to be able to fly through the air to some extent, using his wisp to propel himself.
Profile
Prior events
No-Bot was originally created by Yopple Inc., but ended up breaking at some point, and was stored in a dark room for a long time. Eventually, the Ghoulfamily took him from there, presumably stealing him, and fixed him up. He joined them afterwards.
He likes ponies, as the Bada-Bing Tower has a floor that is full of them.
Yo-kai Watch 3
No-Bot appears in Chapter 10, guiding Nate and the others though the Ghoulfather's tower, while making them complete various tasks, including a boss battle with him, before they're allowed to face The Ghoulfather himself.
After a certain post-game request, he can be found working at Yopple Inc.'s factory again, trying to earn enough money to get his face remodelled to look less scary, so that he may become friends with a pony.
He is also featured in a request that takes place in Katie's dimension, involving the factory tour of Yopple Inc., with him replacing Yopple Bot as the tour guide.

Etymology
"Warubo V5" could possibly be derived from both "warui" (Japanese: 悪い bad) and "robo" (Japanese: ロボ robot). The "5" in his name might be alluding to the "555" theme that the Ghoulfather has in Japanese.
"No-Bot" is likely derived from combining "robot" or "Yopple-Bot," with "no."
Trivia
- Same as Yopple-bot, his battle theme song is the same one of Captain Thunder second form and Usapyon's Invader Mode in the game and anime.
- His biography doesn't match the behavior he exhibits in the game, as while the biography notes how polite he is, he is always shown to be blunt and irritable.
