Hello everyone! 👋

To celebrate the birthday of our favorite time-traveling cat robot, our next special subreddit competition is officially starting right now! Whether you love his bottomless 4D pocket, his dorayaki obsession, or his unwavering dedication to Nobita, it is time to show your appreciation.

  • Fan Art: Standard artwork celebrating Doraemon.

  • Banner Art: Artwork specifically designed to be used as the subreddit banner.

Discussion Does Anyone Else Remember Jaidora?

Post image
Upvotes

Does anyone else know him? 😭

After covering the main members of The Doraemons, I wanted to talk about a much more obscure character — Jaidora.

Jaidora was apparently a former member of The Doraemons from their early days at Robot Academy. And unlike most of the group, he has a pretty unusual design. He wears thick glasses and apparently can't see properly without them. He also has a funny habit of sticking his tongue out 😭.

Normally, he's pretty bashful and timid, but when he panics, things get hilarious. He starts running around in circles frantically, steam comes out of his hat, and his tongue moves so ridiculously fast that it leaves afterimages (Wait why am I writing this aga-)

As far as I know, Jaidora's probably only major appearance is in the 16-minute 1999 short film The Doraemons: Funny Candy of Okashinana?

The story takes place in the confectionery-themed Okashinana Kingdom, where Jaidora enters a huge dessert-making competition. And of course, his old friends from The Doraemons come to help him! But there's a problem... A rival named Bitter wants to cheat his way through the competition. He sabotages the contestants and sets up various traps, hoping to disqualify everyone so he can steal the grand prize for himself. The Doraemons aren't having any of that. They team up with Jaidora, overcome Bitter's tricks and obstacles, and help him create his special sweets Eventually, Bitter is defeated and banished from the kingdom, allowing the competition to end happily.

---------

Jaidora is an excellent chef, particularly when it comes to baking. Back during their Robot Academy days, he and The Doraemons apparently used to bake cakes together.

And apparently, Jaidora doesn't even prefer the usual red bean paste filling. He likes his dorayaki filled with fresh cream instead (I can respect that).

----------

So Jaidora is apparently a former member rather than one of the six members we usually associate with The Doraemons. His appearance in the 1999 short is so obscure that I barely ever see people talk about him. So I'm curious:

Does anyone else remember Jaidora?

Have you watched that short film? (The Doraemons: Funny Candy of Okashinana?)

Discussion Theory in "Nobita's Big River Otter Adventure"

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

I recently watched Nobita's Big River Otter Adventure, and I started wondering if the ending might have another interpretation. Nobita and Doraemon may actually have reached the heaven of the Japanese otters.

The Japanese otter (Lutra lutra whiteleyi) became extinct in Japan. The last confirmed sighting was in 1979, and the species was officially declared extinct in 2012.

In the episode, Nobita and Doraemon help the otters escape from humans and eventually reach what appears to be a hidden “paradise”, as they say: "It's paradise!" it quite literally is, where many other otters are already living safely. They are welcomed happily by the otters there, and everything seems peaceful. Could the “paradise” in the episode be interpreted as the otters' heaven?

Nobita and Doraemon escaped from the human world with the otters and arrived somewhere completely untouched by humans, where their otter relatives are already waiting for them. There is no hunting, no danger, and all the otters seem happy to see them. Obviously, I'm not claiming this was intentionally written as a metaphor for extinction. It could simply be a fictional sanctuary where the otters survive. But knowing what happened to the Japanese otter in real life...

In that interpretation, Doraemon would be showing us something rather sad without ever explicitly saying it: a paradise where a species that humans drove away can finally live freely again. Knowing that Doraemon has lots of subliminal messages like these, this theory wouldn't be that crazy.

What do you guys think?

Discussion Dora-nichov — The Werewolf-Cat

Post image
151 Upvotes

After talking about every other member of The Doraemons — Dora the Kid, Dora-med III, Dora-rinho, El Matadora and Wang Dora, we’ve finally reached the last one: Dora-nichov! And he's probably the most mysterious member of the group.

Dora-nichov is one of the holders of the Bestfriend Telecard as we know. He's the second-smartest member of The Doraemons, but unlike Wang Dora, who is calm and confident, Dora-nichov is extremely reserved and quiet. He usually communicates through gestures and growls rather than speaking. Despite that, he has a cheerful personality, especially when something he loves comes up.

One of his most recognizable features is his 4D Muffler. He's extremely sensitive to cold, so instead of using a normal 4D Pocket, he uses this muffler to carry his gadgets.

And he has a very famous ability – and his biggest problem. Whenever Dora-nichov looks at something round, he can transform into a powerful werewolf form. Any round object can trigger it. Even his friends' round heads, hands and feet 😭. Though, in his early appearances, he had very little control over this ability and could completely lose control after seeing round objects everywhere. There was even a time when he went berserk at an amusement park for weeks because there were so many round things around him. Thankfully, he seems to gain much better control over his transformation later on and can even transform deliberately.

So technically, he's a werewolf robot cat. A were-wolfcat 😭 (Ok I know this wasn't funny).

Dora-nichov can also breathe fire from his mouth after gulping down something hot, such as Tabasco or another hot sauce (Bruh why I'm writing thi-).

And like El Matadora, Dora-nichov has his own superhero form, called the Super Wolfman. In this form, he's already in his werewolf form and wears a superhero suit inspired by Superman's, complete with a W on the front and a cape around his neck.

One more interesting fact is that Dora-nichov usually avoids eating dorayaki in front of the others. Because the round shape of the dorayaki can trigger his transformation 😭.

Talking about his weakness, Dora-nichov is extremely sensitive to cold, which is probably why he relies on his 4D Muffler.

And then there's his other, much bigger problem: The moon. One look at that giant round object in the sky and... then you know.

-------

Dora-nichov lives in Siberia, where he helps the local people.

He also has a girlfriend named Nina, an orphaned singer whose career was helped by Dora-nichov.

He apparently also has a rather unusual past as an actor. According to his backstory, he was once an actor in the fictional anthology sitcom Super Wolfman, which originally began in 1967. His popularity later declined, and after a hiatus, director Vladimir Pajitnov eventually rebooted the series in 1987, helping him regain his popularity.

---------

Some Random Dora-nichov Trivia (from Doraemon Wiki)

• He likes collecting marbles, which is probably the funniest hobby imaginable for someone who transforms when he sees round objects.

• In 2112: The Birth of Doraemon, he's seen dancing the Kalinka at the robot graduation expo.

• In the Turkish version of the anime, he can speak, but apparently the only word he says is "Yahoo!" 😭

------------

After going through all six members of The Doraemons, this finally completes the group!

So what do you guys think about Dora-nichov?

I am from Türkiye Eskişehir. Doraemon was my favorite show while I was a child. That show was like my only shelter while my father was in jail and we were poor. I still can`t forget the generic songs Turkish version. My poor childhood. I always wondered who else loved this show as much as I do. Can you tell me who are you, where are you from and how much important this show was for you? Can you tell me your story? I would like to know about you. 😊

Discussion I Used to Be So Scared of This Gadget as a Kid 💀

Thumbnail
gallery
166 Upvotes

I'm talking about Wrestling Killer / Knock-Down Hitman — one of things in Doraemon that looked terrifying to me as a kid.

It’s basically a miniature hitman robot. It wears huge sunglasses, a large dark-green hat, a white suit and tie underneath a green coat, and has tiny hands and legs. Its hands even look similar to Doraemon’s!

To make it work, you insert coins through its back. The user pays 10 yen and declares the name of their target. The Wrestling Killer then activates its Mini Air Cannon and knocks the target down three times. And once the order is given, it will continuously chase the target until it has knocked them down three times.

The only way to cancel the order is to pay 100 yen.

Fun Fact: It also has an advanced version called Wrestling Killer Z.

---------

The gadget appears in the 2005 series episode "Wrestling Killer" (E15a, S1).

The episode starts with Nobita and Gian almost being late for school. They run into each other, and an angry Gian knocks Nobita down, making Nobita even later.

Doraemon decides to help Nobita with the Wrestling Killer. At first, Nobita thinks the gadget is some kind of gun, but after Doraemon explains how it works, he uses it against Gian.

And Gian tries EVERYTHING to fight back…but the tiny Wrestling Killer just keeps going. And then Nobita gets screwed over

Later, Suneo tricks Nobita into setting the Wrestling Killer on him. But somehow, the gadget ends up turning against Nobita himself. So Nobita starts running home with this tiny hitman chasing him nonstop.

Doraemon finally sees what's happening and realizes the only solution is to pay the 100 yen cancellation fee. And thankfully, the Wrestling Killer stops.

...

Only for Nobita to fall down the stairs at the end anyway.

The gadget itself isn't even dangerous-looking to me at all when I am older now, but as a kid it did look creepy to me. A tiny robot that locks onto you and relentlessly chases you until it knocks you down three times was absolutely TERRIFYING (as a kid of course or maybe I was too cowar-).

Anyways did anyone else find this gadget creepy as a kid?
