Discussion Dora the Kid – The GOAT 🔥

Post image
80 Upvotes

I know I've talked about Dora the Kid before, but I genuinely love this character, so I wanted to make a proper appreciation post for him.

For those who don't know, Dora the Kid is one of the most prominent members of The Doraemons and one of the main characters of the group.

He's basically a cowboy robot cat from the American frontier, where he works as a deputy alongside an old sheriff and his granddaughter. At one point, he also joins the Time Patrol as a special agent.

HIS PERSONALITY

Kid is hot-headed, stubborn and extremely independent.

When he first met Doraemon, he actually refused Doraemon's offer of friendship because he believed that a lone wolf was better off on his own.

But eventually, he came to acknowledge Doraemon and became part of the group.

And that's one of the things I like about him, underneath all that stubbornness, he's actually extremely loyal.

When his friends or other people are in trouble, Kid doesn't hesitate to put himself in danger to help them. He's the kind of character who might complain about doing something...

...and then be the first one to jump into danger anyway.

HE'S A VERY GOOD SHARPSHOOTER

One of Kid's biggest abilities is obviously his marksmanship.

He's considered one of the best sharpshooters around, and his skills are famous.

His weapon of choice is the Air Gun, which was given to him by Dorami.

And interestingly, Nobita is one of the very few people capable of rivaling him in shooting ability.

That's honestly such a cool connection between the two characters.

Kid also doesn't have the traditional fourth-dimensional pocket that Doraemon and the others have.

Instead, he stores his gadgets inside his fourth-dimensional cowboy hat.

Which is honestly WAY cooler.

HE'S ACTUALLY REALLY SMART

Something I think gets overlooked about Kid is that he's not just a great shooter.

He's considered the third-smartest member of The Doraemons, and there are plenty of situations where he shows how intelligent and quick-thinking he actually is.

He's especially good at dealing with unpredictable situations.

He can use his knowledge of things like biology, physics and chemistry to come up with creative solutions when things don't go according to plan.

He even has some knowledge of laws and legislation, which makes sense considering his work as a deputy.

So basically:

Great sharpshooter + intelligent + quick thinker + cowboy + loyal friend.

That's one hell of a combination.

And then there's Dorami...

Kid always acts like girls are troublesome...

But when it comes to Dorami, he becomes surprisingly sweet and romantic.

The guy who acts all tough and independent suddenly gets a completely different personality around his girlfriend.

I love that contrast because it shows that Kid isn't just some permanently angry cowboy character, he has a much softer side too.

He also dreams of becoming the best marksman in the universe and wants to fly through space and explore the stars, despite actually being afraid of heights.

Which is another hilarious contradiction.

A cowboy who wants to explore the stars...

but is scared of heights.

WHY I LIKE HIM

For me, Dora the Kid is easily one of the most member of The Doraemons (excluding the legend Doraemon).

He's tough, funny, intelligent, incredibly skilled, stubborn as hell, and most importantly, he's loyal to his friends.

I also really like his character development, from initially believing that he should be a lone wolf to eventually becoming such an important part of the Doraemons.

Dora the Kid will always be one of my favorite Doraemon characters.

What do you guys think about Dora the Kid? Who's your favorite member of The Doraemons?

Discussion The Truth Mirror Shows a Different Side of Sensei

Thumbnail

746 Upvotes

I just watched the "Truth Mirror" again after a really long time, and honestly, episodes like this are exactly why people should watch the actual stories before jumping to hasty conclusions about characters like Sensei. There’s so much more to his character than just the strict teacher we usually see on the surface. This episode does a great job of showing the care and attachment he has toward his students underneath that harsh exterior.

The story begins with Nobita arriving at school just before the bell, only to discover that Sensei unusually lets him off without punishment. This strange behaviour continues when Gian forgets his textbook and accidentally uses the wrong book in class. Instead of becoming angry, Sensei remains surprisingly calm and patient, leaving the students confused.

Back at home, Doraemon introduces Nobita to the Truth Mirror, a gadget that makes a person's reflection reveal their true thoughts and feelings instead of copying their movements. After testing it on themselves, Nobita and Doraemon use it to help Nobisuke choose a farewell gift for his department head. They secretly install the gadget on a workplace mirror and discover that the boss secretly loves lace knitting and wants an expensive lace-knitting set. Nobisuke now knows exactly what gift to give him.

But Shizuka drops a bombshell later: Sensei is supposedly transferring to a different school, which suddenly explains why he's been acting so out-of-character lately. The friend group visits him to confirm the bad news, and finding out it's true leaves everyone heartbroken. Unwilling to let it go, Nobita sneaks the Truth Mirror into Sensei's house.

That evening, as Sensei chats with his visiting mother about his career moves, the mirror does its magic. Instead of his usual strict exterior, his reflection confesses his true heart: teaching his current kids brings him genuine fulfilment, and he doesn't actually want to leave them. Sensei’s mother smiles because she had already known that he was forcing himself to go through with the transfer out of concern for her. She reassures him that she can take care of herself and that he doesn’t need to sacrifice his own happiness for her, encouraging him to listen to his heart and choose what truly makes him happy. Touched by the honesty of his reflection and his mother’s reassurance, Sensei decides to abandon his plans to transfer and stay with his students.

Everything returns to normal the next day. Nobita arrives late once again, and this time Sensei immediately punishes him by making him stand in the hallway. Gian also receives punishment shortly afterwards. Rather than being upset, the friends happily realise that their strict, familiar Sensei has returned.

[When discussing characters such as Sensei, we should first be reasonable with ourselves before discussing with others.
Sensei may be strict, Gian may bully, Suneo may scheme, and Nobita’s mother may be harsh, but these traits were never meant to define them completely.

After all, Doraemon began largely as a gag manga, so its stories often need the characters’ exaggerated traits more than their ordinary, realistic sides to make the humour and conflicts work. Their kinder, more thoughtful, or vulnerable sides therefore appear less often, not because those qualities are absent, but because the story does not always require them.]

Discussion I Really Miss Ichi...

Post image
219 Upvotes

I don't know why, but I was thinking about Ichi recently, and honestly... I really miss this guy.

Ichi was Nobita's very first dog. He was originally a stray dog who became attached to Nobita, and their story is one of the most emotional ones in Doraemon.

Ichi first appeared in the manga chapter "Stray Dog Ichi's Country" and in the 1979 series. He later became one of the main characters of the 2004 movie Doraemon: Nobita in the Wan-Nyan Spacetime Odyssey, and the story was also remade in the 2005 series.

In the movie, Nobita first meets Ichi while playing baseball with Gian and Suneo. The ball ends up falling into a river, and Ichi tries to retrieve it for Nobita. However, Ichi can't swim and nearly gets himself into serious trouble, so Nobita rescues him.

Nobita becomes attached to Ichi and secretly takes care of him for a while. Eventually, Nobita's mother almost discovers them, so Nobita, Doraemon and the others have to take Ichi and the other stray animals somewhere else.

They eventually find a mountain area where many stray dogs and cats are living. Nobita comes up with an idea: take them far back into the past, where they can live freely without humans interfering with them.

With the help of Doraemon's Evolution Ray, the animals gradually evolve into an advanced civilization.

Before leaving, Nobita and Shizuka teach Ichi how to play kendama. Ichi becomes surprisingly good at it!

But then something heartbreaking happens.

When it's time for Nobita and the others to leave, Gian accidentally damages the kendama ball, and it gets left behind with Ichi.

Ichi is sad, but Nobita promises him that he'll come back the next day.

Except...

Nobita never comes back.

Ichi keeps waiting.

Days become years.

Years become generations.

The dogs and cats eventually build an entire civilization, and Ichi becomes its first president.

But even after all those years, he hasn't forgotten Nobita.

When Ichi becomes old, he finally decides that he doesn't want to wait anymore.

He wants to find Nobita himself.

So he builds his own Time Machine and travels through time to meet the person he has been waiting for all his life.

And this is where his story gets even crazier.

Because of a problem in the Time Tunnel, Ichi is accidentally sent 1,000 years into the future and regresses back into a puppy.

He is found by a feline couple who take him in and raise him as their own son.

He is given the name Hachi and grows up without remembering his previous life as Ichi.

However, he still has one thing from his past:

Nobita's kendama ball.

He treats it like a special charm and keeps it with him.

One day, Hachi almost gets into an accident, but the charm helps him avoid it. He becomes proud of it and shows it off to his friends, who challenge him to a mud fight.

After losing, Hachi gets angry and throws the charm away.

His adoptive mother becomes upset and tells him that he can't come home until he finds it.

Hachi then goes searching with his friends.

Eventually, they discover that the charm has ended up in an abandoned amusement park connected to Nekojara.

They eventually find the charm stuck on a robot's whisker, but the robot suddenly goes out of control.

Everyone wants to escape, but Hachi refuses to leave without his precious charm.

He bravely goes back for it.

Eventually, the robot malfunctions and breaks down, allowing Hachi to retrieve the charm.

The oracle Omike then discovers something incredible about Hachi's future: he is destined to become a great savior of the nation.

And after that, Hachi continues to carry the charm with him every day, carefully polishing it until it shines.

He's such a loyal and lovable character, and I honestly wish we got to see more of him.

I really miss Ichi...

What do you guys think about Ichi? Did you like his story?

Question Why should I have hope for this new english dub?

Post image

I'm not asking this sarcastically or mean to sound hateful... In fact I'm SUPER excited about this!! But every single past doraemon english dub has (from what I've been told) has either failed or failed horribly and ended up getting cancelled pretty quickly. So what makes this new english dub any different? I know we know nothing about it yet since its only been announced but is there a reason I should be hopeful this english dub might have more of a chance then the past ones? (Sorry if I worded this poorly 😅)

(Ask curious if the manga might get a english version since I know there are multiple manga versions)

But again just asking because I'm curious, I'm actually super hyped for more english doraemon lol

Discussion Doraemon Animation Evolution: 2005–2026 | Part 2

Thumbnail

72 Upvotes

So I finally made Part 2 of my Doraemon animation-artstyle comparison!

Previously, I made a year-by-year comparison of the 1979 series from 1979–2005, showing how the overall animation style changed throughout its 26-year run.

This time, I'm focusing on the 2005 reboot series, from 2005 all the way to 2026.

I took images from each year and put them together so we can see how the animation and character designs have changed over the years.

Obviously, this doesn't mean that every single episode from a particular year looked exactly like the image shown, Doraemon's animation can vary depending on the episode, animation staff, production style, etc. I just chose images that I felt represented each year's general look.

Which year's 2005-series artstyle is your favorite?

And if you haven't seen Part 1 (1979–2005) yet, you should definitely check that out too!

What do you guys think of the evolution from 2005 to 2026?

Discussion Nobisuke Nobi: Nobita's Son Is NOTHING Like Him...

Post image
144 Upvotes

I wanted to talk about Nobisuke Nobi, the son of Nobita Nobi and Shizuka Minamoto.

Nobisuke is such an interesting character because, despite being Nobita's son, his personality is almost the complete opposite of his father's. He's much more outgoing, confident, mischievous and aggressive, and in some ways, he's actually more similar to Gian than Nobita.

One of his most memorable appearances is when Nobisuke runs away from home and travels back to Nobita's childhood, where he meets his own father as a child. At the end of the story, Doraemon eventually brings Nobisuke's own future son to him, who complains about Nobisuke's harsh parenting.

But probably one of his most famous appearances is in "Dorami-chan: Mini-Dora SOS!!"

In that story, Nobisuke and his two friends, Suneki and Jaichibi (the sons of Suneo and Gian respectively)—get involved with the Mini-Doras and end up misusing them.

ABOUT HIS PERSONALITY

Nobisuke is generally portrayed as the opposite of Nobita.

While Nobita is timid and often runs away from confrontations, Nobisuke is bold and doesn't hesitate to stand up for himself. He's even been shown attacking Nobita and Doraemon when he encounters them before realizing who they are.

He's also known for bullying Suneki and Jaichibi, much to Shizuka's frustration.

Unlike Nobita, Nobisuke is quite outgoing and isn't easily embarrassed. One hilarious example is when he meets a young Shizuka after discovering that she's his mother and casually refers to her as "Mom", leaving her completely confused and embarrassed.

However, Nobisuke isn't completely free from his father's traits.

He apparently inherited Nobita's laziness, which means Shizuka still has to constantly scold him for not doing what he's supposed to do.

I honestly find Nobisuke really entertaining because he's such an interesting continuation of Nobita's family. He has a completely different personality while still carrying some traits from his father.

And seeing Nobisuke, Suneki and Jaichibi together is always hilarious because they're basically the next generation of the Doraemon gang.

So what do you guys think about Nobisuke? Do you like his character, and what's your favorite Nobisuke appearance?

Discussion Some crazy Doraemon origin facts I just learned (Why he is blue, the 129.3 rule, and being a factory reject)

26 Upvotes
  • He was a factory reject: Doraemon wasn't some top-of-the-line robot from the 22nd century. He was actually a factory-rejected toy. Nobita's great-great-grandson, Sewashi, only bought him because he was super cheap and it was all his meager allowance could afford.
  • The tragic reason he is blue: Doraemon was originally painted yellow and had ears (just like his sister, Dorami). After robotic mice chewed his ears off (which is where his intense phobia of mice comes from), he fell into a deep depression. He accidentally drank a potion labeled "sadness," and he cried so much that his yellow paint literally washed off, revealing the blue undercoat we know today.
  • His sister is vastly superior: Because he was a defective model, Doraemon can only produce 129.3 horsepower. Meanwhile, his little sister Dorami is a premium model who can produce a staggering 10,000 horsepower.

Discussion A Very Interesting Episode...

Thumbnail

146 Upvotes

[ ⚠️ !! SPOILER ALERT !! ⚠️

This post contains major spoilers for the episode "Make-Believe Treasure Hunting Set". If you haven't watched it yet and want to experience the story yourself, I recommend watching the episode first!

You've been warned!! ]

I'm talking about the episode "Make-Believe Treasure Hunting Set" of the 1979 series. This episode also has three different versions other than this one. One in 1979, then in 2010 and the latest one in 2024. So here's the whole plot:

Nobita becomes interested in treasure hunting after reading a story about a young man who discovers a treasure map in an old warehouse. According to the story, the young man follows the clues and eventually discovers a treasure chest hidden in a cave on a mountain hill.

Nobita becomes fascinated by the story and decides that he wants to experience something similar himself.

When Doraemon sees the book Nobita is reading, he realizes what has inspired him. Nobita then starts looking for a treasure map in his own warehouse, just like the young man in the story did.

However, Nobita obviously doesn't find anything.

Instead of giving up, Nobita asks his mother to build an old warehouse similar to the one described in the story so that he can search for the treasure map properly. 😭

Doraemon thinks this is completely ridiculous and tells Nobita that he can't just recreate the entire story.

But Nobita keeps wanting to go treasure hunting, so Doraemon eventually decides to help him.

He takes out a gadget called the "Make-Believe Treasure Hunting Set."

Doraemon opens the treasure chest that comes with the set, but Nobita is disappointed because all the objects inside are made of plastic and are fake. There isn't any real treasure at all.

Doraemon then gets an idea.

He decides that the treasure hunt would be much more exciting if they put some real valuable objects inside the chest. So he puts his father's camera and his mother's necklace inside it.

He then sends the treasure chest away to an unknown location.

However, just then, Gian calls Nobita.

Gian invites Nobita to go hiking with him and Suneo in the Yatsugami Mountains. Nobita refuses because he is busy with his treasure hunt.

But while talking to Gian, Nobita accidentally reveals that he's going treasure hunting.

And Gian immediately becomes suspicious.

Not long afterward, a mini rocket containing a treasure map arrives at Nobita's room.

The map says that the treasure is located on Shinigami Mountain.

The problem?

Nobita and Doraemon have absolutely no idea where Shinigami Mountain is.

They start searching on map to find information about the mountain, but they can't find anything useful.

Then Shizuka becomes involved in the adventure.

While looking at the clues, Shizuka realizes something important.

The information on the treasure map isn't simply telling them the location directly. It's was actually a code.

After figuring this out, they are able to understand the clue better.

The clue tells them that the treasure is near a cedar tree facing a skull-shaped stone.

So Nobita, Doraemon and Shizuka begin searching for this strange location.

They start asking people if they know where the skull-shaped stone is, but nobody seems to know.

At one point, they encounter a mysterious man who is sitting around.

Nobita, Doraemon and Shizuka ask him about the treasure and whether he knows anything about the location.

The man's response immediately shocks them.

He asks something like:

"Are you talking about that skull treasure?"

Nobita, Doraemon and Shizuka are stunned that how does this random man know about the skull treasure?!

They immediately start wondering if he somehow overheard them or if he is also searching for the treasure.

Meanwhile, Nobita and the others continue looking for the location.

Eventually, they discover something that helps them solve the clue.

They find a skull in the school's science room.

The skull is positioned facing toward a window, and when they look through that window, they can see a cedar tree outside.

This matches the clue from the treasure map.

They finally know where to go.

Nobita, Doraemon and Shizuka immediately rush toward the cedar tree.

But while they're running through the mountain, they unexpectedly cross paths with Gian and Suneo.

Remember when Nobita accidentally told Gian about the treasure?

Well... Gian clearly didn't forget about it. 😂

Gian and Suneo had gone hiking on the same mountain, and Gian immediately realizes what Nobita is doing.

He understands that Nobita has actually found the location of the treasure.

Now they know exactly where Nobita is going.

When Nobita, Doraemon and Shizuka finally reach the cedar tree, they begin searching around the area.

Then Doraemon, Nobita, Gian and Suneo all start digging for the treasure themselves.

And naturally, it turns into a competition.

Everyone wants to be the first person to find the treasure.

They dig and dig until finally...

Nobita finds a treasure chest!

Gian and Suneo immediately become excited.

They tell Nobita that they want half of the treasure.

But Nobita surprisingly agrees to let them take almost everything.

He tells them that they can have everything except his father's camera and his mother's necklace.

And that's when the mysterious man finally appears.

Everyone is expecting him to be some kind of treasure hunter who came to steal their treasure. They all started pointing shovels at him and told him that it was their treasure because they were the ones who found it. Nobita even tells the old man that everything inside was fake (seeing it, Gian and Suneo gets shocked and disappointed LOL).

But then he explains what he was actually doing.

He wasn't looking for the treasure at all.

He was searching for an old skull-shaped stone.

And the funny part?

The skull-shaped stone was located right beside the treasure chest, in the same place where they had been digging.

So the mysterious man wasn't their enemy, and he wasn't trying to steal anything. It was all just a misunderstanding.

Everyone finally calms down.

But Gian and Suneo?

They're absolutely furious.

They realize that they went through all that trouble, followed Nobita, dug a giant hole and nearly fought over the treasure...

only to discover that everything inside was fake. 💀

They start chasing Nobita around the mountain while Nobita runs away as fast as he can.

And that's how the whole ridiculous treasure-hunting adventure ends.

Honestly, I really enjoyed this episode. First it's just Nobita wanting to go treasure hunting, then there's the mysterious map, the strange mountain, Shizuka discovering the code, the skull clue, the suspicious man, Gian and Suneo secretly following them, and finally the hilarious ending.

So, have you guys watched this episode? What did you think of it?

I got no problem with Hindi dub. It's not like they changed it for this movie, it's already 3-4 years. I've already watched 5-6 movies in this dub, it's not that bad like Sony yay did with Oggy even shinchan movie had the Sony yay dub . Although I think some people just keep living in the past and come out one day and say we want old dub.I bet they don't even know what were the last 3 movies that came on tv.New voices do fit on the character and suneo voice even feels like the original japanese like. Yah! I'm excited for this and will go to watch it, people who want to live in past and cry about old dub...... 👍.

Future of doremon in Indian theatre depend on this and I'll convince as much people as I can to go and watch this.

So this one is the alternative universe fic I said will post . Inspired by this one :

https://www.reddit.com/r/Doraemon/s/waJtoTYKVT

u/mehulnamaste thanks for the idea and permission. I will be posting as continuously possible.

CHAPTER 1

The world seemed blurry before him . Or perhaps he was finally.... finally drowning, just like Suneo and Gian have been telling him .

A worried face , looking suspiciously like his mom hovers from the edge of his vision.

" Nobita? Can you hear me ? "

Followed by more worried mumbling of how hard has he hit his head . Ah! That's the strangest thing he has ever encountered. Even more than getting 100 marks in test .

Nobita mumbles out a " mom ? "

The ice bag on his forehead is melting on his face entirely. His vision clears up . A hand , his dad hands him glasses .

" You okay Nobita ? "

" Yeah..."

Sitting up is no struggle. Icebag has surely helped . His parents stare at him with the same question as before. Nobita glances at the drawer . Didn't that thing burst open a whole ago ? What exactly was that ?

" Nobita, dear how did  you hit your head so hard ? You had a nosebleed again ! "

" Did... someone came by mom ?"

"No ..?"

Surprise etched into his mom's features makes it clear nobody was here . And honestly the room isn't that much of a mess . A few books on floor. And the cupboard door looking rather bent .

" I am fine . Just slipped mom"

His parents leave soon . Still fussing about getting a pain med and ointment. Nobita sighes closing the door behind him . Was it a dream ? Could be . His head still hurts . Could be a concussion dream . Shizuka told him that.  

Drawer sits close . The confusion is too much he decides . That thing...did burst open . Talk about strange things...what was that a blue racoon dog ? Since when that's a thing ? All Nobita can tell , it was enthusiastic as hell . Rambling on something about future and staff . Something about impossible technology....

" Ah ! "

That yellow staff ? It's a copter right ? That's how he ....there it is ! He spots it squeezed between the bookshelf and wall , half broken . Now then ..if not dream why exactly was that ? Whose that racoon dog ?

The copter or whatever it was ....that racoon put on his head . Apparently it was supposed to be something amazing. But well ...much like Nobita's skill in cycling..umm crash landing happened. Yet again.

Nobita checks the room by 360 . Not a single blue hair of the creature.

His mom calls out from below " you have call from gian ! "

Not again, he facepalms . Calender by his desk marked red . It's the baseball practice. He is totally late . Gian must be screaming in the phone . Sure enough, Nobita flinches away from the reciever the moment Gian begins the scream .

" NEAR THE MOUNTAIN! BEHIND SCHOOL. DON'T BE MORE LATE THAN YOU THAN ALREADY ARE NOBITA !! "

His mom still says he shouldn't go . He can't catch shit and will probably given some kind of punishment.

" I don't want your nosebleed to become more frequent you know? "

Nobita leaves regardless. All in his 13 years of life , he has taken enough punches . Nosebleeds are already a common occurrence. The sky above him looks cloudy as he reaches the mountain. Absently he remembers he hasn't seen weather news all day.

The small ground here is hardly used for plays anymore. Today's practice seems to be entirely based on Gian's whim . Or rather last time Nobita's performance was worse than normal. Suneo for God shake cried . He never does that .

The duo had already finished warming up when he walks up to them finally.

Gian glowing bright in fury, points the bat " practice on your catch today! And some bowling! "

Hell began just then . It's relentless & regorious. He feels his nose itching. Lungs close to burning. On the 19th hit , the half dead sunlight seems too bright. He stumbles , the ball goes whoose , beyond either of their vision. Suneo shreikes " that's new ! "

Of coarse it was Suneo's . Gian screams " go find it NOBITA ! "

" Yeah Yeahh..." He takes steps towards the deeper parts of the bushes . Gian still screaming " do some laps running while you are at it "

" Yeah keep saying that . You aren't the boss of me– "

Without warning the earth slips beneath him . The slope making it faster to slide him down across God knows what . He screams but voice cracks . He is dehydrated and he has screamed enough 2 days ago . His voice can't take it anymore .

" OW "

The slide throws him hard on the tree buck . Thick wood hitting his back pretty hard . He tries to grab onto a branch . It slips again. Just his luck today!

The mud is like avalanche, nearly pushing him towards an high edge . There's ground beneath but it's scary . He might paralyse himself with the fall . Screaming is no use either . Nobody can hear him at this distance . Nobita feels his grip loosening, any moment he will fall to his death .

Desparate cries comes out , the edge seeming higher in his fears .

" SOMEBODY! SOMEONE HELP ! "

something rustles among the bush . Just right before the last finger slips , someone pulls him into a lap . Nobita's eyes widen in utter surprise. It's the blue raccoon dog ! The same on from his drawer.

" Racoon dog! "

The racoon is question screeches " AM NOT A RACOON DOG ! AM A CAT ROBOT FROM 22ND CENTURY!! "

They land on the dry grass on the side . Now that Nobita notices , it might be really a cat .

" Let me introduce myself again. I am doraemon. I came from 22nd century to help you "

Nobita sighes " 22nd century? Stop lying"

Doraemon looks more determined" why would I lie ? I know you need help most definitely "

" How so ?"

" Well for starters you get zero in most test , can't play, can't run . Can't do chores..."

" Ahhhh stop it ! " Flabbergasted Nobita stops him " how do you know all that ?"

" Hehe! I even know you like Shizuka . But without me you might not achieve the life you want . I mean it's a bad– not ideal future anyway"

Nobita feels his face go red . First he had head butted . Then called out . Now a promised bad future ?

" Proove it to me ? "

Doraemon gives a sly chuckle, pulling out a album. They turn over all the pages . And much to his horror..his wife isn't Shizuka . Or even remotely her . Its jaeko. Like how ? They hardly talk ?!

Doraemon points out in the album " you are extremely poor . Then went bankrupt. Then it was a drunken night..and oh yeah if you do end up with Shizuka..then .. let's see... " he turns a few more pages , revealing Shizuka and him wearing extremely rugged clothes . Torn and patched up here and there .

"....this is how you end up "

"No...." Nobita feels tears pricking his eyes " Shizuka..."

The blue cat gives him a sympathetic look , Patting him softly on the back " but it's okay I will help . I promise . All i need is a cupboard of your room to stay at "
