Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Doraemon is one of the longest running anime series and the most successful work of Fujiko Fujio. The title character, Doraemon, is the quintessential example of the Robot Buddy: he is a robotic cat from the future sent back to help the socially inept Nobita Nobi through the use of futuristic technology (known as Dogu, Japanese for "tools", or gadget) produced from his Fourth Dimensional pocket. Typically, the devices are used to impress his love interest Shizuka Minamoto or humiliate the bullies Takeshi "Gian"note Referred as "Giant" in some translations Goda and Suneo Honekawa. Inevitably, there is some form of Phlebotinum Breakdown, and Nobita must sort through the root problem himself. The overused story arc is somewhat of an artifact of the series' origin during the 1970s, criticizing Japanese culture's increasing over-reliance on superfluous technology.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The characters also go on epic adventures in Doraemon's Long Tales and the films based off of them. All of these stories ended up being so many in number, and just so dang popular, that Shogakugan had to make a magazine to give the manga a permanent place to stay— which ended up becoming kodomomuke manga haven CoroCoro Comic, with Doraemon himself serving as Series Mascot to this day.After a brief and unpopular animated series in 1973 by Nippon Television, Doraemon remained fairly exclusive in manga form until 1979 when a newly formed animation studio, Shin-Ei Animation (now owned by TV Asahi) produced an anime series of Doraemon. This series became incredibly popular, and ended with 1,787 episodes on March 25, 2005. Celebrating the anniversary of the franchise, a new Doraemon series began airing on TV Asahi on April 15, 2005 with new voice actors and staff, and updated character designs.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Even though it's not really popular in the west, Doraemon is a very influential series in the east. For example, in 2002, Doraemon was featured along Aung San Suu Kyi and Hamid Karzai as one of the 22 heroes featured in a special edition of Time Magazine on Asian Heroes. In a truly surreal moment, Doraemon has been designated by the Real Life Prime Minister of Japan as the Ambassador between the cartoon world and Japan, with the ceremony including a to-scale model of Doraemon.In 2014, it was announced that Disney XD would air an English dub, made by Bang Zoom! Entertainment, of Doraemon five days a week as part of a block for elementary aged children. And thus, Doraemon made a premiere on American televisionnote His first appearance at all was a limited screening of Doraemon: Noby's Dinosaur 2006 after three decades of trying so. Despite achieving cult status, the dub's ratings massively declined and was put on indefinite hiatus after two seasons. Nevertheless, the American premiere of the franchise was a big deal in both Japan and the US - so much so that the edited American episodes were actually dubbed back into Japanese "as is" and aired on Japan's Disney Channel.For a list of Doraemon episodes, see its recap page here. For a list of movies and other adaptations, see its franchise page here.

Darker and Edgier: The 2005 anime has its moments. Best illustrated with "The Girl Who Loved Nobita", an at first simple story, but it's full of villains who sent Lulli to kill Nobita for indirectly foiling his ancestor's attempt to hack the military. When she overcome their control, they tried to bomb her along with Nobita, which caused her to sacrifice herself to put them down. Early The Doraemons spinoff manga is this, with more emphasis on action and life-threatening hijinks.

 Doraemon / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: Invoked in "Fossil Fools", which is about Noby and Doraemon making impossible fossils and pretending they really found them. Sewashi plans at the start of the series about changing Nobita's life and "Transportation Logic" clearly is not possible. To elaborate; by changing the past and having Nobita marries Shizuka, Sewashi will cease to exist due to the fact that the Sewashi who is Jaiko's great-grand son and the one who is Shizuka's great-grand son are not the same person due to genetic differences. Unless of course, Nobita never married Jaiko in the first place.

Forgotten Phlebotinum
 Doraemon / int_1b89151e
comment
Forgotten Phlebotinum: One of the most Egregious examples. There are several predicaments that Doraemon and co. face that one of his gadgets that have been mentioned in previous episodes could have easily get them out but for some reason Doraemon seems to have to use the gadget that was introduced in episode they were in. One the early gadgets of the week (chapter 54, "Lies Become Truths") was a beak-like toy which one could wear, and anything uttered while using it will be spontaneously proven as fact. Nobita lied that his father can shatter a huge rock with his bare hand, and then he can do it with ease. Quite frankly this should have make any other gadget Doraemon had introduced, or will ever introduce, completely and utterly obsolete. It was never mentioned again ever since. Particularly frustrating in Doraemon feature films and volume-length comics, which featured life-threatening situations.

All Doraemon movies (except some short movies and spinoffs) are considered not the Non-Serial Movie.

Papa Wolf: Gian is very protective of his little sister. If you even think about messing up with Jaiko, you're dead. Doraemon is shown to be this to Nobita in early stories. However, as time went on, the robot got increasingly more annoyed with Nobita's tendency to depend too much on his tools. This results in him becoming more apathetic to Nobita and only helping him when it is really necessary. Nobita can act like this towards the young creatures he "adopts."

Balloon Belly: In the reboot's take on the classic "Memory Bread" story, Nobi uses the Bread slices to copy the notes taken for homework. This backfires when he decides to have a snack in-between while studying with Shizuka, which makes him feel sick when he tries to eat another slice of Memory Bread. It doesn't help that Nobi's mom made a special dinner with a lot of shrimp, which Nobi eats anyway, and he ends up so stuffed that he's ready to explode.

Potty Emergency: This happens a lot to Nobita in the show. The episode "Malicious of the Demon" has this trope as a major plot point. In "Amaze-ing Maze" note  Nobita's family is in a big maze?, Nobita has one. It is implied that he wet himself. In "The Flag of Prohibition", the titular flag is placed in the bathroom just as Nobita needs to pee.

Vocal Evolution
 Doraemon / int_2ef005ab
comment
Vocal Evolution: In the sound department, the dubbing quality has improved a lot in the Malaysian version. Early dubs mute the background effects and music completely when the characters talk, presumably because they were unable to secure a minus-one version of the audio track to work with and didn't want to go the Voiceover Translation route back then. More recent dubs and redubs have the VAs record over a minus-one of the audio track and thus the BGM and sound effects doesn't fade out when the characters talk anymore.

Censor Steam: In a twist from the manga's Barbie Doll Anatomy subverting roots, recent episodes do this with Shizuka whenever she's taking a shower. This has not escaped the notice of the series' long time (40+ years) fans. In the Disney XD English dub, this is used in the episode "Transformade" (dub title) to cover up naked Noby (Nobita) so all nudity from the back, which was in the Japanese version is all gone, both in his own form and when he accidentally transforms into naked Sue (Shizuka-chan).

In one episode, Doraemon helps Nobita secretly care for a box of puppies/kittens. After some failures to find adequate places for the pets, Doraemon and Nobita send them to the past where there are plenty of space, and no human or any other dangerous animal threatening them, so they can live on their own. To provide them source of food, Doraemon also leaves a food-producing machine to the pets and makes a dog slightly smarter to operate the machine by evolving it using the gadget Evolution-Degeneration Beam. Later, Doraemon and Nobita return to 1000 years after the time they put the abandoned pets in, only to find that the dogs and cats have become humanoid, gained the ability to talk, and built a sophisticated civilization with high technology, all due to Doraemon leaving the Evolution-Degeneration Beam in the past and the pets using it to perform a fast evolution on themselves. However, those dogs and cats have decided to leave the Earth to another planet because they've predicted that the Earth will be facing a world-wide disaster.

Lethal Chef: Gian's cooking is just as bad as his singing. Or may be worse. The most common result is food-poisoning. He even accidentally poisoned himself in one episode, much to the relief of his friends. Annie, the daughter of the sheriff of the planet where Dora the Kid protected is also one. In her case it's lethal Food Porn. Nobita himself as well, as illustrated in the "Home-Ec Apron" episode when he and Dekisugi compete in a fried-rice cook-off. Nobita had been using one of Doraemon's gadgets to make himself an ace at housework (including cooking), but the gadget short-circuits and Nobita's true culinary ineptitude is exposed. Nevertheless, Shizuka, realizing how hard Nobita worked on it, manages to get it all down.

"Freaky Friday" Flip: Played out several times, usually with Nobita trading places with Shizuka. Needless to say, it turns out that Nobi is just as big a loser no matter whose body he's wearing. Worse still, Shizuka decides she actually likes being a boy and refuses to give Nobita his body back. She only relents around bathtime, when she suddenly realizes exactly what Nobi will see whenever "he" removes "her" clothing.

comment
Paper-Thin Disguise: One of Doraemon's gadget takes this to the extreme. It's literally just a board that you write someone's name on. Then you hang the board around your neck and anyone who sees it thinks you're the name you wrote. You can even write something generic like "servant" and have it work.

Power Perversion Potential
 Doraemon / int_4d070ee3
comment
Power Perversion Potential: There are several gadgets (dogu) with this potential (from stop time to turn invisible). The major example has a Running Gag involving an "Anywhere Door", which lets a person travel anywhere. There are many times Nobita, Doraemon, Gian or Suneo uses it to get to a random place, only to land themselves in Shizuka's bathroom. Some chapters have Doramen too negative-minded about Nobita using his gadget for perverted things like peek under Shizuka's skirt or while she bath. However Nobita has NO intention of doing it. One episode and chapter had the "XYZ Camera", an X-Ray camera. Guess what happens when a person's picture is taken with that camera? The movie "Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld" (both the original version and the remake) has a Running Gag with Nobita using magic power to lift something. But he ended up lifting Shizuka's skirt every times.

Male Frontal Nudity: All three lead boys. It's natural for boys of their age though, and not sexualized in any way. In the 2005 remake, this is mostly averted, as any frontal nudity is always covered, either by a Scenery Censor or them covering up with anything they can find

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Doraemon / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early Installment Weirdness: In the first one year and six months of the 1979 series' broadcast, It was a 10 minutes daily anime series, airing one episode each day. (saved for Sunday) Until 1981 when it became a half-hour weekly anime, airing two episodes each week (with some weeks airing one episode as a two-parter) until the series ended. And the background of the title card was originally yellow before they changed it to a different color with Doraemon being animated. The early episodes of the 2005 series also bear resemblances to the 1979 series in term of character designs at times. Early on, Doraemon used to have the ability to turn invisible by pulling his tail. His tail later changes to function like a power switch after several gadgets that could turn the user invisible were introduced. If you watch the first episode of the 1979 anime, "Nobita's Dreams Town", you'll see a random, unnamed tall guy that was friends with Gian and Suneo, he never shown up again until the series' finale. He is however occasionally shows up in the manga along with a nameless fat guy to serve as random extras. Doraemon is more of a Butt-Monkey in his earlier appearances. This is reflected on how he was drawn during the early days of the manga's run. Nobita's voice sounded much more different in the early episodes of the 2005 anime than how it is now. It was higher pitched and leveled. His height also seemed shorter, where in later episodes, he's taller. He also didn't wear his usual yellow shirt. This also goes for characters who had slightly different designs, voices, and clothing.

The Kiddie Ride
 Doraemon / int_4fbb259e
comment
The Kiddie Ride: Unavoidable. All made by Namco Bandai under the Banpresto brand, there's a Doraemon time machine ride with an interactive screen and buttons (actually, there are two versions of the time machine ride- the one with the interactive screen mentioned, and a older, smaller version of the ride that lacks the screen), a Giant Doraemon that fits two kids and move in a spinning motion (also having an interactive screen and buttons), a Doraemon pirate ship (again, with an interactive screen and buttons), one with Doraemon sitting on a cloud with the rider, and a fire engine with Doraemon on it. Again, sadly, officially they're No Export for You and can only be found in Japan, although like other Japanese arcade machines they've been unofficially exported to other Asian countries via grey-market imports. Aside from that, however, there's also dozens of Chinese-made unlicensed knockoffs which are sadly, much more prevalent.

Sarcasm-Blind: Nobita. One episode has Suneo sarcastically suggesting Nobita to swallow some of the dirt under Dekisugi's fingernails to get smarter, as Nobita once again gets another zero. Nobita actually asks Dekisugi for his fingernail dirt afterwards. Though it may be instead of being Sarcasm-Blind, Nobita feels there's hardly any way he can get smarter, he tries desperately with even the most improbable way, which ironically makes him look even stupider.

Challenging the Bully
 Doraemon / int_52092250
comment
Challenging the Bully: In one chapter, Doraemon has to go back to the 22nd century because his duty has been "fulfilled" (i.e making Nobita happy), but he's reluctant because he comes to care about Nobita too much. Nobita tries to prove that he doesn't need Doraemon anymore, one of the methods being challenging the local bully, Gian. While Nobita is badly beaten, he keeps coming after Gian, who ended up getting scared of him because he just won't back down. This at least convices Doraemon to go back "home".

Bamboo Technology
 Doraemon / int_52748705
comment
Bamboo Technology: A name-only example. The iconic take-copter literally means a "bamboo helicopter". However, it was named as such only because its namesake is from a Japanese toy under the same name. Which is a small bamboo stick with propeller blades and if you spin it in you hands, it will fly for a short while. This gadget on the other hand, is not made from bamboo whatsoever. Completely averted in the English dub where this gadget's name is shortened to "Hopter". Somehow implied in the episode where Nobita and Doraemon visit a planet which is basically a Bizarro World. Not only that Doraemon of that planet is a Gender Flipped version, the gadgets she pulls out look like they have been around for a really long time. This suggests Doraemon of this world may come from the past, instead of future.

Adaptational Attractiveness
 Doraemon / int_557838d1
comment
Adaptational Attractiveness: One of the 2005 anime's notable features. Example is that Nobita starts off as plain (when he compared himself to Dekisugi). In 2005? He's revealed to have◊ quite nice eyes under that glass. Shizuka starts off as kinda cute in the original series, but later becomes much prettier (even more so in the 2005 anime). To make his Chick Magnet status more justified, Dekisugi is more handsome in the 2005 anime (he has a better haircut) compared to his character design in the 1979 anime where he was just as plain-looking as Nobita. The remake episode of the Lying Mirror makes this more pronounced. Noramyako, Doraemon's former girlfriend used to look like this in the original◊ and in the remake she now look like this◊ and also become Ascended Extra andd Took a Level in Kindness too.

Time Is Dangerous: Time Travel is achieved by going through a tunnel-like space on your Time Machine. Should one get knocked out of the machine and into the tunnel, one will be stranded in time. The problem is, Doraemon's time machine is basically just some futuristic devices bolted to a tatami, so the risk of being thrown overboard is always there. Dorami's is safe, because it's a flower-shaped capsule. Have we mentioned that some bad guys have their own time machine, so you can have a chase in time while you chase in time?

Panty Shot: Shizuka provide many of these in the original series and some movies. Averted in the 2005 remake that tone down the fanservice. An episode has also Nobita stop this event thanks to "Incident Bomb", a gadget that predict future disaster and give to user the possibility to stop them (in this case, Shizuka's panty exposed because of the wind). The Disney XD dub actually retains this in one episode, but at the same time directs attention away from it by having Sue (Shizuka) utter a long, disgusting burp in the same scene (when she would presumably have been shrieking in the original Japanese).

Thinly-Veiled Dub Country Change
 Doraemon / int_5b0a14b1
comment
Thinly-Veiled Dub Country Change: Being a kids' series, many foreign dubs of Doraemon attempt to relocate the series to the dub's country of origin, despite none of the very Japanese background imagery being changed. Variation: a common thing that happens with European Portuguese dubs of anime is changing the currency used to a local currency, while still keeping it set in Japan. So people will refer to cents instead of yen, despite the coins and bills appearing clearly being yen coins and bills. Doraemon is one of the earliest examples. The English dub changes the setting to America, changing yen notes to dollar bills such as the above example, although they don't change things like kneeling on the floor to eat.

Ventriloquism: Inverted with the "Ventriloquism Doll" gadget. It will talk like the user and trick the listener(s)'s into believing what the doll said. However, should the gadget be stopped, the listener will immediately come back to sense.

Disneyfication: The whole Doraemon series mellowed down most of the fairy tales and famous stories they adapted, most notably in "Doraemon: Nobita's Mermaid Legend" movie. The plot was closer to the source than the Disney movie, but in the end, Sophia and the entire mermaid tribe live happily ever after anyway.

Forgot About His Powers
 Doraemon / int_650a309b
comment
Forgot About His Powers: The movies will always have a big war towards the end. And yet despite the overabundance of useful gadgets, Doraemon only remembers the rather weak Air Cannon. Cue a Curb-Stomp Battle delivered by the enemies until the protagonists have to rely on Deus ex Machina or Heroic Sacrifice. Often, though, the trope is subverted because Doraemon usually has his gadgets in repair of out of power (makes sense due to the sheer number [over 4 digit] of them). He's only got multiple versions of the most common (and likely cheapest) gadgets in hand for most of the time. (Even the iconic takecopters are often lacking in battery power.)

comment
Invisibility Cloak: Some of Doraemon's gadgets are capable of invisibility. Fujiko F. Fujio was mindful of why true invisibility and vision didn't mix, and so the ones that can be applied to humans mostly work on perception filters. For example, the 'Blind Spot Star', which makes the image of the one who wears it always fall on the others' blind spot, and the 'Pebble Cap', which makes the one who wears it as unnoticable as a pebble at the side of the road.

Useless Superpowers: Not really useless, but not really useful in the setting. Even though he's bad at almost everything, Nobita is really talented at shooting and playing string figures. He sometimes says that he's supposed to be born in the old west. There is even an episode where he was stuck in the old west, and became a sherrif's deputy. The talent is obviously more useful in the movies.

April Fools' Plot
 Doraemon / int_6dbf7c8d
comment
April Fools' Plot: An April Fool's plot beginning when Nobita uses the excuse of April's Fools to avoid getting beaten up by Giant for tricking him. Giant then asks if he's sure it's April 1st, causing Nobita to doubt if it's actually April 2nd, so Giant gets the right to beat him up. When all said and done, Giant revealed that it's REALLY April 1st so he gets away for bluffing Nobita about the date. Another episode started with Gian, Suneo and Shizuka playing April Fool's jokes on Nobita. One of the jokes include his house is on fire, so he has the right to be panic being the paranoid kid he is. Enraged by his friends fooling him, Nobita pleads to Doraemon for a device that makes its user able to make all April Fool's joke become reality. And since this is Nobita we're talking about, he's going to abuse it for his own good. The plot point of the Retcon used by the manga (first story in Volume 7) and the second part of the two-parter anime special to bring Doraemon back. After getting tricked by Gian and Suneo that Doraemon has returned (and a couple more pranks) due to it being the said date, Nobita remembers that Doraemon has left behind a special box that would grant him one more gadget that should only be used in case of an emergency. The box grants him a potion that would make anything he says become a lie. He quickly uses it to unleash revenge on Gian and Suneo, but then on the way home, muses about the prank Gian and Suneo pulled on him and how Doraemon would never return. Naturally, Doraemon returns at the end of the chapter/anime.

Saint-Bernard Rescue: A strange case where it can be Justified happens in one of the movies. In that movie, Nobita and co time-travelled to the pre-historic era to stop a time-criminal who have established a personality cult of cavemen, and his temple is in a snowy mountain. A blizzard descended upon them and they fainted one by one (what where they thinking?). However, Nobita is rescued by a mammoth that dispenses a strange liquid that resuscitates him, via its flail, in the spirit of St. Bernard dogs. Later, it turns out that that mammoth is actually Time Police robot in disguise, who has been tailing the fellowship to find out the criminal's hideout.

You Can't Fight Fate
 Doraemon / int_7241785e
comment
You Can't Fight Fate: There is an extremely depressing explanation about why Nobita is so afraid of Giant and Suneo. An episode traces this back to kindergarten times, when Nobita was first bullied by Gian and Suneo. His fearfulness was born and stuck at that moment because he failed to fight them. In order to eliminate this mentality, Nobita returned to the past and managed to bully them back. However, while he bullied them, he was watched by little Shizuka, the girl he liked since he was a kid and his future bride, and as a result he earned her hatred. In the end Nobita has to choose: be immune from Giant and Suneo's bullying, or earn Shizuka's forgiveness? He chooses Shizuka's forgiveness, and that restores his fearfulness of Giant and Suneo for life.

Idiot Ball: Many characters hold it, in order to make the repetitive plotlines work. Nobita is the biggest offender, combined with endless Aesop Amnesia. In every episode, he makes the same mistakes that always end up blowing up in his face, over and over again. Gian and Suneo are a close second. Every time Nobita shows a surprising talent/ability/power that he didn't have before, they are shocked. This, despite that fact that they know everything about Doraemon's reality-warping gadgets and they also know Nobita uses these gadgets all the time. Yet Nobita manages to fool them for a good part of the episode and only towards the end, they come to realize that maybe this has something to do with Doraemon's gadgets.

Oblivious Adoption: Inverted. In "Noby's Birthday", Noby thinks he's adopted and that Tammy and Toby just found him. It's obvious that Tammy and Toby are his true parents, but Noby doesn't believe this due to how his parents treat him. In the end, he realizes that Tammy and Toby are his true parents.

Alternative Foreign Theme Song
 Doraemon / int_7b20b8d2
comment
Alternative Foreign Theme Song: The English dub uses a different intro from the Japanese version in which Doraemon explains the premise of the show. The Italian dub has two entirely unique theme songs. The first theme song was made in the 80s, the second comes with the redub made in early 2000s, it's the one most people are familiar with and it stills airs on television these days (for both original series and remake).

Potty Failure
 Doraemon / int_7cd98af5
comment
Potty Failure: Like the above trope, this often happens on the show to Nobita. Gian wets himself after hearing about his friend's secret in "The Insect of Ignorance". In the episode "The Grass Of Forgetfulness", Suneo wets himself at the park. The Disney XD dub, rather than excising scenes of such, altered the context. The puddle that resulted from Nobita wetting himself in one episode was rewritten as him spilling a cup of tea, and in the "voodoo doll" episode when Suneo and Gian are beset with "continuous potty failure" as a result of Nobita holding their voodoo dolls under a running faucet, the scene was altered to make it appear as though the boys were being soaked from above.

Cultural Translation
 Doraemon / int_7d49d74a
comment
Cultural Translation: The English dub of the 2005 series replaced most of the Japanese cultural icons and items with objects that were familiar to American young viewers. For example, yen notes were replaced with dollar bills, chopsticks with forks, and Japanese text with English text, and Doraemon's Trademark Favorite Food, dorayaki, were referred to as "yummy buns."note Oddly enough, the actual dub's first episode and the website bring up the name actually being dorayaki (note that Doraemon-licensed dorayaki was produced in North America during the Disney XD run), but default to calling them yummy buns otherwise. These edits, though they were condemned by many purists, were somewhat justifiable, since many American elementary school children were unlikely to be familiar with some of the Japanese cultural items (such as a dorayaki). The setting was changed to America as well. It should be noted that these Americanizations were insisted upon by TV Asahi, who wanted to increase the franchise's chances of success in America. The Korean and Vietnamese versions are this as well. The Latino Spanish dub of the anime calls dorayaki "galletas" (the Spanish word for "cookies"). In an early Thai release of Doraemon, Dorayaki is referred as "Fried Flour". This get reverted back to Dorayaki in the later release.note Still refer as such in many of the education books staring the character, however. Several (probably bootleg) Chinese translations go as far as localizing Nobita's home country as Taiwan (without changing any of the aerial shots that clearly show them living in Japan). The only thing done in the Tagalized dub of the 70's series is dorayaki being referred to as hopia (There are some hopia that resemble dorayaki), and at one episode, the Tokyo Tower being referred as the broadcast tower of GMA-7! (To be fair, it was a shout out to the said channel airing the 70's series in the Philippines, and never mentioned again afterwards.)

Interspecies Romance
 Doraemon / int_8485d41a
comment
Interspecies Romance: In the 25th movie Doraemon has his love interest Sharmee. Sure they're both cats, but let's not forget Doraemon is also a robot. So this is technically played straight. Doraemon has a neighbor cat named Michan as his girlfriend during the normal time. Previously, Mii chan was a toy cat. Although mechanical at that, so not too much of an example if you think about it. Ended with the Unsettling Gender Reveal. Also in The Doraemons Special series, in a few story arcs, being robot cats doesn't stop the Doraemons from getting human love interests. Examples are: Dorarinho had Uno during the Dinosauroid arc and in a limelight chapter of his, he had Izami who even turned out to be a guy no less. Doramed fell in love with Queen Supika of the Kouzai Kingdom that results in a very sad scenario. Also, Matadora had Iris during the Medusa arc and also Ship Tease with Carmen, his boss's daughter. Doranichov fell in love with an Ill Girl named Mari who wanted to watch milkyway as her last wish before she die, the Little Mermaid Princess which he chose to give her happy ever after with the prince, and his current girlfriend is Nina, a songstress.

Parental Bonus: Let's just say that 40 years later, a lot of Japanese authors and artists have thought up more risqué uses for the tools in Doraemon or other similar gadgets. In fact, the Magical Girlfriend subgenre could have taken its roots from the idea of Doraemon, a non-human being with special powers suddenly showing up and shaking up some loser kid's life, and spinning it in a different light.

Child Prodigy: Nobita becomes one in the episode "The Life Do-Over Machine", where he uses the eponymous machine which allows him to do over his life while keeping the mind of his current self. As a result of this, he is able to write kanji and do multiplication at the age of four. This eventually backfires on him, though, as Doraemon points out that if he were to grow up like this he would actually be worse off than his normal self - since he's super smart, he starts to lose interest in actually doing his schoolwork, causing him to become much dumber than he had expected.

Cut-and-Paste Translation
 Doraemon / int_90c75498
comment
Cut-and-Paste Translation: The English dub for Doraemon for the U.S. broadcast contains some elements of this. While most of the edits were more or less justifiable, some of the edits are rather erroneous due to strict U.S. broadcasting standards. A first-aid kit is replaced with a pizza,note The pizza edit seems weird out of context, but it makes more sense when seeing the content of the episode. In the episode, Noby gets turned into a vampire using one of the gadgets and the dub was edited so that Doraemon defeats him by eating garlic pizza and using his garlic breath against him, which is something vampires are weak against. It's also a nice call back to Nobita's first failed attempt to wipe Gian's memory due to the latter ate Garlic Gyoza and didn't brush his teeth before slept. It should be noted that the reason this scene was edited was actually because the bandages were in the shape of a cross, thus becoming a symbol that can be used against a vampire. Moral Guardians don't want to play around with religious stuff, so they replaced it with the garlic breath. Nobita's stream of tears being removed, some instances of sweet snacks being replaced with fruits, note Broadcasting standards nowadays encourage healthy eating in an attempt to dissuade childhood obesity, this is another reason that dorayaki are referred to as yummy buns. This editing isn't applied consistently though; "Battle of Dueling Nobys" and "Memory Bread" feature egregious examples of overeating, complete with Balloon Belly, that Standards and Practices didn't have any issue with and a doll replaced with a book, causing a rush to judgment among American otaku. It's worth noting that unlike the now-defunct 4Kids Entertainment, these edits are being done by the Japanese side of things, and the edits don't have a major impact on the story, so rest assured, they're trying their best to translate their baby to an American audience. The animation edits however are done in South Korea in order to keep costs down; The animation edits are done by Studio Mir (yes, that Studio Mir). Mir also did the edits for the Korean dub of Doraemon as well. Despite this, the English dub doesn't change certain Japanese names like Matsushiba, certain objects native to Japan or even censor guns. The introductory episode for the English dub was cut from a later episode in which Noby was having a flashback to when he first met Doraemon. But, again, this is justified since most American audiences aren't familiar with the premise of the show and the episode explains how Noby and Doraemon met. Surprisingly enough, season 2 kept in all of Shizuka's bath scenes and even aired an episode centered around it. Shizuka is given a bathing suit to compensate though. Shizuka's reactions to Noby and Doraemon seeing her in the bathtub were accordingly rewritten from her calling them both perverts to her attacking them because she's offended at their suggestion that she needs a bath.

Shizuka is the second best in this case: very smart too, a Dude Magnet and a very Nice Girl, very good at school, and a responsible daughter who is often implied to be good at cooking. But she lacks the numerous talents that Dekisugi has, sometimes struggles with The B Grade compared to Dekisugi's always perfect scores, and can't play the violin.

American Kirby Is Hardcore: The American dub of the 2005 anime is like this. The dub emphasizes more on the episodes that are action oriented and mostly lacks the episodes that focus on heartwarming relationships. Even the background music in the dub is much more upbeat and action oriented compared to the calm and lighthearted background music in the Japanese version. Not surprisingly, the season 2 promo heavily emphasizes on the action aspect of the dub.

Barbie Doll Anatomy: Averted quite a bit is in the original manga and 1979 anime from late 80s where Nobita's penis and Shizuka's nipples are seen countless times. It is, however, important to note that the manga is completely lacking in Fanservice outside of Parental Bonus — all nudity is Played for Laughs. Played straight in the 2005's anime remake when the censorship is stricter.

Living Toys: A lot of Doraemon's gadgets can bring toys to life, in various ways. The most famous one is probably the wind-up key that serves as the focus for one movie, that permanently gives life to any object shaped like a living creature that has the key placed on its back and turned. The heroes use it to populate a planet with various adorable living dolls, but one monkey doll steals it and brings to life a biology lab skeleton, a "peeing boy" fountain, and a panda mascot. All three of them use their unique skills/appearances to help defeat the villains in the climax.

'Go! Go!

These abilities emerge as the planet has much less gravity than Earth. Nobita even wears blue-and-red costume with a cape and a big 'N' on the chest and calls himself Nobitaman during the final fight.

comment
Karma Houdini: One episode has Nobita using Microphone Interviewer Gadget to find out about a relationship between two actors which cause mayhem but ultimately brought the two of them closer and avoided a scold from Doraemon because of this. Most of the time Gian bullies Nobita and gets away with it. Even if Nobita temporarily gets back at him with Doraemon's gadgets, he (and Suneo) will still be back on top by the end of the episode. He also steals and breaks Suneo's toys and gets away with it because Suneo is terrified of him. Again in "Victory Cheerleader Pompom". Nobita uses the gadget on Tamako to avoid the scold from Nobisuke. The gadget allows the user to win anything with the cheer from the wearer that is female. Believe it or not... there is a item from the future that creates Karma Houdinis called "The Devil Passport". Nobita would do something horrible and if it flashes it to the nearest person he gets away with it. Subverted as eventually Nobita does feel guilt for all the bad things he got away with and the guilt makes him make amends for it.

The Fujiko duo did try to end the series when it appeared that the franchise was losing popularity in the early 70s, resulting in the final story in Volume 6 of the manga. When the franchise suddenly picked up in popularity again shortly after the release of the said volume, they were forced to Retcon that particular story in the first story of Volume 7 of the manga.

Incredible Shrinking Man: Doraemon has various gadget with this effect like the "Small Light", a flashlight that can shrink objects and people to minuscule sizes. Another tool that is used in a similar capacity is the "Gulliver Tunnel", which causes a person to grow or shrink depending on which entrance they takes; however, its ratio of shrinking and enlarging is fixed.

Prophecy Twist
 Doraemon / int_bb5126ec
comment
Prophecy Twist: In the first chapter, Doraemon proves he's from the future by predicting that Nobita will hang himself in 30 minutes and then be burned alive ten minutes later. Nobita scoffs, but then thirty minutes later, he slips while getting a shuttlecock off the roof and his shirt collar gets caught on a tree branch, making another character joke that he hung himself. Ten minutes later, he falls into a full bathtub and dries himself out in front of a space heater. The phrase "to burn alive" in Japanese is similar to "to warm in front of a fire."

Negative Continuity: The comics never bother to keep track what sort of gadgets Doraemon has pulled out of his Fourth Dimensional Pocket (except for the most popular recurring ones), just how good friends Nobita is with everyone, or how good Nobita's grades are (they're pretty much almost always abysmal, bar the once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly). Whatever misfortune befalls Nobita using Doraemon's devices, regardless of its severity, as well as any bad situations Nobita drags anyone else into in the process (up to and including their deaths), is gone by the next story, and everyone's back to normal.

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife
 Doraemon / int_bf74d357
comment
Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: This trope is played straight in the original manga with Nobita being plain while Shizuka is highly attractive but gradually downplayed when Art Evolution of the animes, movies and even the manga itself as Nobita is later drawn less plain and more adorable as boy at his age can be. Recent anime episodes and movies also has Nobita's eyes become like Shizuka(minus eyelash of course) whenever he isn't wearing glass. He aged just fine too as an adult. Nobita's parents are also downplayed version with Tamako is actually very beautiful when she doesn't wear her glass but Nobisuke isn't a gonk either. Doraemon himself and his former girlfriend Noramyako (after her Art Evolution). Sure Doraemon's not unappealing, but he's still your standard stout and chubby robot cat model compared to the tall, curvacious female bot.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Early in the manga's run, there was a character named Gachakko, a female robot duck that pestered Doraemon and Nobita. The character stopped appearing due to the creators' dislike towards her, and consequently none of the manga featuring the character was reprinted. Gachakko also appeared in the 1973 anime, but not in the 1979 and 2005 anime.

Weapon Wields You: The Denkoumaru, a katana which beats opponents automatically by taking control of the wielder's arms. Obviously very usful in the Big Damn Movies. Unlike most other examples, this gadget still just beats those who are deemed as enemies by its wielder, instead of choosing its own enemies, for it doesn't have a will but an AI for calculating the most effective moves. It can still cause the wielder to fight unwillingly against those who threaten his/her life, though.

Big Damn Movie: LOVES this trope. The regular manga and TV series involves just the mundane daily life of the protagonist, his robotic cat, and his other elementary school friends in suburban Tokyo. However, the series' movies will always be huge epic adventure stories (often set in elaborate sci-fi/mythological/high fantasy locations) and the main characters are inevitably portrayed as the brave action heroes.

Shout-Out
 Doraemon / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Lots, to its contemporaries and classics alike, and some even to Western pop culture. One notable one is to Galaxy Express 999, whose Cool Train has been outmoded by the Anywhere Door. Another medium-length story has Nobita and Doraemon fight the bad guys from Star Wars, including a Darth Vader parody. A good thing that those space races are much smaller than humans. The comic shop in the English dub is named Cyborg's Basement. Zanda Cross is a copy of MSN-100 Hyaku-Shiki of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, with minimal cosmetic changes and a Palette Swap. An episode has Nobita and Shizuka using a gadget for change their hairstyle. Nobita put the same hairstyle of Astro Boy and Shizuka of Uran, Astro's younger sister. 'Go! Go! Nobitaman' is a Homage to Superman, in which Nobita and co. fight off a powerful Crime Syndicate on another planet inhabited with Human Aliens with their newly gained Super Strength, Nigh-Invulnerability, and jumping ability that looks almost like Flight. These abilities emerge as the planet has much less gravity than Earth. Nobita even wears blue-and-red costume with a cape and a big 'N' on the chest and calls himself Nobitaman during the final fight. The Bible is referenced surprisingly a lot for a sci-fi title. Most of them revolve around creating Biblical miracles with future technology. And playing God.

Sewashi plans at the start of the series about changing Nobita's life and "Transportation Logic" clearly is not possible. To elaborate; by changing the past and having Nobita marries Shizuka, Sewashi will cease to exist due to the fact that the Sewashi who is Jaiko's great-grand son and the one who is Shizuka's great-grand son are not the same person due to genetic differences. Unless of course, Nobita never married Jaiko in the first place.

Enraged by his friends fooling him, Nobita pleads to Doraemon for a device that makes its user able to make all April Fool's joke become reality. And since this is Nobita we're talking about, he's going to abuse it for his own good.

Lighter and Softer: Almost all of the Big Damn Movie and video games, no matter how dark it is, portrays the kids as True Companions with little to none of the Jerkass attitude exhibited in the regular show or manga. And the movies usually have a Happy Ending instead of the sometimes Downer Ending of the regular episodes. Later volumes of The Doraemons manga are also this and also Denser and Wackier compared to the earlier ones, focusing more on wacky future school hijinks instead of battle against sinister villains.

In Spite of a Nail: Nobita's still going to have the same grandson even though he's marrying someone else. Unless it's a Stable Time Loop. Though some may speculate that Nobisuke doesn't have to be the son of Nobita and his wife. Then again, it may just be that Nobisuke in all timelines takes strongly after his father. There are also several plausible theories that Sewashi fabricated the photo album that he showed to Nobita in the first episode. Notice they said this in the very first manga chapter that even if Nobita changes his wife, Sewashi will still be born and it is just like getting to the destination by different method of travel.

Dreadful Musician: Gian has a horrible, devastating singing ability. Shizuka plays a violin as bad as Gian's singing. Heck, one episode even has Suneo make up a conspiracy theory about a guy using Gian's voice for assassinating people which is fortunately, not true. And in the movies, his singing drove away a group of sirens, an accompanying whale monster, and, in another unrelated occassion, knocks out two battling giant monsters. And in the 2005 remakes, one of the special episode involves combining both of their "talents" to defeat the Dracula Robot in the future where they play/sing for the ENTIRE earth!

Absence of Evidence
 Doraemon / int_d4f5426
comment
Absence of Evidence: Sometimes there are impossible cases that cannot be solved normally due to the usage of gadgets. Prime examples in the gold coin's robbery case which the culprit is Doraemon who used Time Machine and later, Suneo's kidnapping case. A darker example appears in Gian's murder case in which Suneo creates a theory of Gian's voice being used to murder a music school's principal. According to him, it will be a perfect murder as killing with Gian's voice definitely wouldn't leaves any evidence behind. In the end, it was used merely as a "Before" and "After" comparison for their newer ad, with Gian's singing serving as the "Before".

Our Dragons Are Different: Dragon from Doraemon: Nobita's Three Visionary Swordsmen is generally True Neutral, he only turns people into stones for self-defence, as it is implied that everyone wants to kill him and bath in his blood for immortality. Luckily for the heroes, while not as powerful, his sweat can still grant someone an extra life. The dragon apparently can also release his sweat at will and falls asleep when his barbel is cut.

Writers Cannot Do Math

comment
Writers Cannot Do Math: In an episode, Doraemon gives Nobita a special plate of cookies that double every 5 minutes (so if he starts with one, after 15 minutes he will have 8 cookies), warning him that he must eat every single one of them quickly. In the end, he throws away one and returns after a while to find a big pile of cookies. Unable to eat them all, they choose to throw them to space, and later Doraemon tells Nobita that a whole galaxy made of cookies has formed. In reality, if they doubled every five minutes, in less than 15 hours the mass of the cookies would be many orders of magnitude larger than that of the whole universe. Oops.

Bad Future: While not as extreme as some examples, if Nobita continues to live his life the way he does now, his life will fall apart so badly that he will end up a penniless laughing-stock, in so much debt that he will need to work for a century to pay it off, and married to Gian's sister.. It's also also a bad future to Jaiko too, as in the better future, she would have become a successful manga artist instead.

The comics never bother to keep track what sort of gadgets Doraemon has pulled out of his Fourth Dimensional Pocket (except for the most popular recurring ones), just how good friends Nobita is with everyone, or how good Nobita's grades are (they're pretty much almost always abysmal, bar the once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly).

Fartillery: Multiple times. One manga episode deals with Nobita trying to come up with a neat trick for a New Year's talent show. Doraemon gave him a bunch of sweet potatoes that, when eaten, produces melodic 'gas'. Unfortunately, Doraemon forgot to tell him not to eat more than one at a time... Another episode deals with the "Strengthening Gas", a gas that when sprayed on a body part, strengthens said body part. When Gian heard about this, he demanded Nobita spray it all over his body. Unfortunately, after one spray on the butt, the gas ran out. As Giant was about to beat Nobita, he farted, and said fart launched him to the sky.

Letterbox: Some movies have this when released on VHS or DVD. As the movies were produced in the 16:9 aspect ratio since Nobita's Great Adventure in the South Seas onward. Interestingly, this is inverted with the older movies when they're first releases in Japanese theaters. The first 18 movies was made in the 4:3 aspect ratio. But was shown in theaters in the 16:9 aspect ratio. They were generally good at not making important details got lost from the crop. So this is a non-issue for the most part.

comment
Expy: Some of Doraemon's gadgets are very similar to gadgets from other series, either in function or in appearance. For example, the What-if? Box is a red telephone booth that can essentially jump dimensions.note Well, technically not really. All it does is created a parrallel universe that reflected the user's description. i.e. saying "I want this world to be all about sleeping" will change the world to the one that all people do is sleep. The character designs in the anime and manga shares a template with many of the Fujiko duo's other creations. Take for example, Kiteretsu Daihyakka. From the character design perspective, they all look almost the same. The only twist here is that Nobita's counterpart in Kitretsu, Eiichi, is a Child Prodigy while Doraemon's counterpart, Korosuke, is bumbling and incompetent. The other characters are pretty much carbon copies of Gian, Suneo and Shizuka.

Their designs are substantially different from the designs of the other main and background characters, and other characters have often described them as being quite ugly. However, due to the art style of the show, they don't really look all that ugly and may even be cute to some.

No Ending: Quite possibly, which ends up with the fans creating their own endings in doujin comics. One happy endingnote  Doraemon's battery fails, and without his ears, they can't swap it out without wiping his brain. Not only that, the time police have placed an absolute embargo on anyone interfering in any way with Nobita and the now-unconscious Doraemon. Rather than swap his battery, which would effectively kill him, Nobita spends the next 35 years becoming the world's foremost expert in robotics in order to save him, marrying Shizuka on the way. But as his friends figure out, it was all a Stable Time Loop — the technology that Doraemon was bringing back was way, way too advanced unless something remarkable happens to jumpstart the technology — like Dr. Nobita Nobi reverse engineering Doraemon enough to fix him. (which was legendarily Jossed from orbit, with nuclear fire by the publishers due to the art being picture perfect to the original series and the ending being more or less beloved by the entire fanbase) and two Downer Endings, one of which was lifted from St. Elsewhere. The Fujiko duo did try to end the series when it appeared that the franchise was losing popularity in the early 70s, resulting in the final story in Volume 6 of the manga. When the franchise suddenly picked up in popularity again shortly after the release of the said volume, they were forced to Retcon that particular story in the first story of Volume 7 of the manga. The 1973 anime series did have an ending, where Doraemon returned to the future and Nobita promised him to grow up to be successful. The two Downer Endings have been written into fanfiction here and here. At least the former is not as downing as the other, because Doraemon actually came back.

Playing God: A lot of chapters involve Doraemon giving life to inanimate objects, usually with the intention of it just being temporary. The moral quandary of whether or not it's okay to give and take away life at a whim is never really explored. This can be a bit jarring, especially when it involves robots, which Doraemon is himself. This also extends to Doraemon creating entirely new universes with the What-If Box, but at least Doraemon says that the new universes continue to live on so at least they're not killing billions of people when it's time to go home.

Never Say "Die"
 Doraemon / int_f51c5f3c
comment
Never Say "Die": The U.S. English dub of the "Tanabata Shooting Star" episode (aka "Doraemon and the Space Shooters") wallpapers over the fact that Nobita believes Doraemon is dead after the episode's climactic space battle. His line in the dub, "Help me find Doraemon," would suggest that he believes Doraemon is still alive out there somewhere and waiting to be rescued.

Bizarro Universe: Happened in one episode when Doraemon and Nobita enter and explore a mirror planet and interact with their counterparts. This planet is literally mirrored of having mirrored writing and east is west. Other differences include reversed gender roles showing Nobita's mom as the breadwinner, all males dressed as females, and different teachings in school. Nobita and his counterpart decide to swap roles for a day.

Make Some Noise
 Doraemon / int_f6832a93
comment
Makesome Noise: In one chapter, the device of the day is a potion that "solidifies" one's voice. When Nobita shouts "Aaah", the letters AAA (in Japanese) flies out of his mouth. He has used it to shout at Giant and Suneo, knocking them out, as well as shouting towards walls to make the solid voice bounce off towards himself, giving him the ability to fly.

Buried Alive: At one time Nobita misuses a gadget that lets him to hide in anything to cause mischief. When it malfunctions, he is unable to get out, and start to worry about buildings crashing on him or being stranded forever (even with an image of his skeleton remains included). Cue his friends putting up a victorious armfold on the spot he's hiding.

Series Fauxnale: The end of Book 6 has a story where Doraemon have to go home. To prove that Nobita can stand by himself, he decided, no matter how bad it is, to fight Gian. He succeeded to make Gian running away in shame, while Nobita had to be carried home. The story ends rather tearjerkingly as the drawer Time Machine turns into a regular drawer... But then, the next volume has it that Doraemon left a box shaped like himself, containing a drink called "Lies 800" in which anything spoken is a lie. After getting lied to badly by Gian and Suneo, Nobita exact his revenge to Gian and Suneo, and after that, Nobita spoke that Doraemon did not exist. Thanks to the effect of "Lies 800", Doraemon actually returned, and Nobita tearfully hugs Doraemon while proclaiming "I am so unhappy that you won't be at my side forever!" The whole story was made because during the magazine era, Doraemon's popularity was thought to be waned that until positive feedback shows that the readers really missed Doraemon. The story above was adapted into the "Stand By Me" CGI movie as the last segments.

RunningGag
 Doraemon / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Lots due to the series' long running status. The most well known is Shizuka's inability to have any privacy in the tub, but there are others. In the manga, Nobita used the Anywhere Door to go to Shizuka's house and once again found her in the tub. Instead of Shizuka getting outraged as usual, Nobita got annoyed and lampshaded why Shizuka always has to take a bath all the time. Nobita constantly trying to hide the school reports from his mom, with predictable results. Gian getting beaten up by his mother. Suneo being extremely sensitive about his height.

Ridiculous Future Inflation
 Doraemon / int_fdbb6993
comment
Ridiculous Future Inflation: One of Doraemon's Gadgets of the Week is a machine that allows the user to buy things from different time periods (with that period's respective price), by choosing a date and object and inserting the corresponding amount of cash in the machine. Nobita manages to make a profit by buying things cheaply from the past and selling them in the present at an increased price. Unfortunately he decides to celebrate by ordering a bag of candy from the future... Another time he used time travel to invest his parent's "secret" money stash, collecting a fantastic amount of interest in the far future... except the stack of bills he gets is in the future currency, so Doraemon has to find a collector to exchange it for modern bills. The result is that he only gets a modest increase (but enough for Nobita to get a bump in his allowance).

Abandoned Pet in a Box
 Doraemon / int_fe166d9f
comment
Abandoned Pet in a Box: There are a few episodes revolving around them. In one episode, Doraemon helps Nobita secretly care for a box of puppies/kittens. After some failures to find adequate places for the pets, Doraemon and Nobita send them to the past where there are plenty of space, and no human or any other dangerous animal threatening them, so they can live on their own. To provide them source of food, Doraemon also leaves a food-producing machine to the pets and makes a dog slightly smarter to operate the machine by evolving it using the gadget Evolution-Degeneration Beam. Later, Doraemon and Nobita return to 1000 years after the time they put the abandoned pets in, only to find that the dogs and cats have become humanoid, gained the ability to talk, and built a sophisticated civilization with high technology, all due to Doraemon leaving the Evolution-Degeneration Beam in the past and the pets using it to perform a fast evolution on themselves. However, those dogs and cats have decided to leave the Earth to another planet because they've predicted that the Earth will be facing a world-wide disaster. Another episode is about Doraemon helps a box of abandoned kittens feed themselves by setting program for them to catch mice at a set time at someone's house, so that people will offer food to them as a reward afterwards.

Literal Genie: In one of the chapters of the manga, Doraemon introduces a robot that tests the purity of the heart of a person and grants the person 3 wishes if they're worthy. Gian and Suneo finds out when the robot grants Shizuka three wishes, and arranges to trick the robot into thinking them worthy. Greed then overcomes the boys and both uses their final wishes to turn each other into anthropomorphic pigs during a heated argument. The Anywhere Door can be a bit of this when requesting locations (for example, "I want to go camping somewhere high" will result in you stepping out into the air). Several other tools are similar, including one that "makes the listener believe anything".
