English title: Running Away to the Cretaceous Period

Broadcast date: February 18, 2011 (TV Asahi)

⚠️SPOILER WARNING⚠️

So for anyone who hasn't watched this one or doesn’t remember it much, Suneo gets the idea to run away from home after watching a TV drama.

He picks the Cretaceous period, and travels back in time, which drags Doraemon and everyone else along to bring him back. Things go sideways because Gian brought a T. rex egg, it hatches into a baby, and the mother T. rex goes on the warpath to protect her kid. Then a massive Spinosaurus shows up and goes after the mother too, leaving everyone dealing with two threats.

Suneo gets mistaken for the mother's baby at one point, so instead of just being prey, she actually protects him. (That's a good twist that turns a straightforward run-from-the-dinosaur plot into something with actual emotional stakes. She's a parent, not just a monster.)

The baby T. rex separated from its mother and the mother's protective behaviour mirrors the plot of The Lost World: Jurassic Park a bit.

Meanwhile, the Spinosaurus showing up as a bigger threat to go toe-to-toe with the T. rex comes straight out of Jurassic Park III, where it was introduced to dethrone the T. rex as the franchise's scariest creature. And this one is kinda intentional as in reality Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus neither shared the same period nor the same geographical place.

Even the egg element lines up, since JP3 features a character stealing eggs and dealing with the fallout, much like Gian grabbing the T. rex egg.

(It's Doraemon, so everything's gentler with no gore or genuine terror.)

It might not be a confirmed intentional reference, and could just be shared dinosaur-movie tropes.

But the specific combo of beats feels too on the nose to be a total coincidence.

I think fans should watch it cause its one of those episodes where Suneo shows a surprising adventurous spirit unlike in most adventures where he starts crying and calling for his mom.

He has touched Gilchrist(100 sixes) in fewer test matches!
No one in the history of this format has got there as quickly as Pant. Because he is the only person who would think of playing shots like this.
When Pant began his journey in Test Cricket, I believed he had the potential to be one of our all-format players. Unfortunately, due to an accident and a subsequent dip in form, he quietly slipped away from the ODI and T20 teams. I hope that he will return to the ODI squad, especially since we need players like him for the World Cup as he has enough experience in away conditions. Facing someone like Pant must be incredibly challenging for bowlers. This aspect often gets overshadowed by the sheer entertainment he brings to the game. Many might wonder why bowlers don’t just stick to conventional lines while he’s moving unpredictably and often off-balance. The answer is simple: he plays with their minds!

Just look at her expressions, that tiny pink nose, those big eyes, and she looked small and simple next to Doraemon. There’s something so innocent and charming and childish about this design!

Dorami’s older design is one I really think could’ve been continued or reused during the digital era around 2002–2005. What do you think about this? Note: Dorami was created after a young girl reader of Shogakukan magazine from Nara Prefecture submitted the idea for a character named “Dorami-chan.” Her idea was approved, and Dorami first appeared in the March 1973 issue. However, she was initially depicted as Doraemon’s girlfriend, rather than his sister.

Her original design was also different from the one we know today. Dorami later made her formal debut in April 1973, when she was established as Doraemon’s younger sister.

Jadeja is the ninth spinner and 28th overall to take 350 Test wickets. Dan Vettori is next with 362. He had dismissed Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva in the morning session before removing Keshara Nuwantha later in the day to complete the milestone. After reaching the milestone, Ravindra Jadeja came back to get Sonal Dinusha out immediately after his hundred. He was trapped on the crease by a length ball from around the wicket, and Jadeja was really good at pitching it on and hitting the stumps from that angle.

Sl 274/9 now! Already the No. 1-ranked Test all-rounder, Jadeja continued to show why he remained such a valuable part of India’s red-ball setup.

Part 1 was less about my personal opinions and more about choices that I think are generally popular among fans, whereas Part 2 is much more based on my own opinions. I don't think many people will disagree with these choices, though. 😴

Anyway, I'd really like to know what you think. Do you agree with my choices, or would you give any of these awards to someone else? Please comment.

Also, about the title in the first image: since the 1998 one is a short film, and short films are significantly fewer in number than episodes and also fewer than movies, I didn't want to create a separate category specifically for short films. So I went with a broader title that fits the award itself. Hope the senate approves this!

I just wanted to say how amazing it is that there's a place for people to appreciate and discuss so many different Fujiko Fujio works. The possibilities for discussions are honestly endless: different series, theories, forgotten characters, crossovers between Fujimoto and Abiko Sensei's works in TV series and manga, alternate takes, fanfics, childhood memories, and so much more. It's really special to share these thoughts with others who understand why these works are so memorable. I'm glad a community like this exists.

For anyone who isn't a member yet, this can be a fun place to explore if you're a fan of Doraemon, Fujiko F. Fujio, or any of the works created by Fujimoto and Abiko. And for those who are already members, if you have a theory, question, fanfic idea, or something interesting about one of Fujiko's works, why not make a post? I would love to see more people sharing their thoughts and discovering the lesser-known works together. I just wish the sub had more activity and conversations like that. There's a huge world beyond Doraemon, and it would be great to see more fans talking about it.

For most of these, I think the ones I chose are also among the most popular choices in the fandom (though Fūko is more of a personal choice).

🎬 Best Film — Nobita and the New Steel Troops (2011)

🦕 Best Dinosaur — Piisuke

👻 The Horror Episode — Courage Hundred-Fold Fan

🐕 Best Pet Dog — Ichi

❤️ Most Selfless Sacrifice — Riruru

😭 You Have to Cry for Them — Pippo & Fūko

I'm curious whether you agree with these winners. Are these genuinely the strongest/popular choices for their categories, or would you give any of the awards to someone else? And if you disagree, who would your winner be?

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.]

Please keep it sfw.

For Indian viewers, Kemuzo Kemumaki is Amara from Ninja Hattori, and Kagechiyo is Kiyo, his cat. The names were changed in the Hindi dub, so I'm using the original names here, but it's the same character.

Kemumaki is one of the most surprisingly complicated characters in a series that otherwise keeps things simple.

I wonder if, when we look at his character in broader terms rather than just focusing on his funny or emotional moments, we start to see something much more complex.

To be fair, Kenichi isn't exactly the most likable protagonist either. He is lazy, cowardly, dependent on Hattori, and even selfish at times.But if we really compare the situations, can one character's flaws automatically justify another character's behaviour? If Kenichi's shortcomings are enough to excuse Kemumaki's treatment of him, then shouldn't the same logic make Gian's treatment of Nobita seem justified simply because Nobita can also be selfish, dishonest, lazy and annoying? Obviously, most people wouldn't accept that. Both characters can have flaws while the other character can still be wrong for what they do.

If you actually look at what Kemumaki does, it’s pretty wild. In the episode where he is first introduced, he starts off acting all sad and polite and quickly gets on Yumeko's good side, but the second she’s gone, he becomes a total bully to Kenichi. He literally forced the poor guy to carry him through a rain puddle (if I am not wrong) and threatened him to keep his ninja identity a secret. He later walked into Kenichi’s house like a normal student before switching into his gear to go after Hattori.

It goes way beyond just being a school bully, too. Across various episodes, he has repeatedly used Kagechiyo to spy on everyone and has tried to find ways to run Hattori out of town. I remember episodes where he has used fake setups to trick Yumeko, once even cheated in school, and even dressed up as Hattori to ruin his reputation after people started liking him. I also remember an episode where he went as far as to fake or photoshop pictures of Hattori and Yumeko just to cause drama. If I remember that episode correctly, that’s not just a harmless prank; it’s a deliberate attempt to manipulate how everyone sees each other.

The part where Kemumaki actually gets interesting is how sympathetic he can be. He’s lonely, living far from his family, and you can really tell he’s just desperate for some affection. He has experienced real kindness from Hattori and Kenichi’s family before, and there are episodes where he’s genuinely moved by their friendship. In one particular situation I remember, Hattori pretended that he was leaving and told Kemumaki that he regretted never becoming friends with him. Kemumaki became genuinely emotional.

I don’t think he’s just a bad person, but I also don’t think we should just ignore his behaviour because he’s vulnerable. His loneliness explains why he acts out or tries so hard to impress Yumeko, and that Iga–Koga rivalry is basically baked into his identity. But honestly, none of that is a free pass for the cheating, the spying, or the constant bullying. It explains the 'why,' but it doesn't really excuse what he does.

There are also episodes where Hattori, Shinzo, and Kenichi (yeah, even he doesn't spit it out) all know Kemumaki is a ninja, but they keep his secret anyway. Kemumaki knows they’re stuck following their own rules—they won't just out him to the world even if it would solve their problems. But instead of respecting that, he takes advantage of it. I also remember an episode where he dressed up as a girl because he knew Kenichi would be attracted to the look. Sure, Kenichi was being a bit of an idiot, but that doesn't change the fact that Kemumaki was doing it on purpose to mess with him.

The thing about Kemumaki is that he rarely tries to win a fair fight. Throughout the series, he often relies on disguises, spies, and fake rumors to get what he wants. He’s clearly smart and creative, but he uses all that energy for psychological tricks and misinformation.

Kenichi is just a regular kid—he can’t compete with a trained ninja on equal ground, and Kemumaki knows it. Yet,instead of just rivalling Hattori, he often targets Kenichi’s weaknesses.

He has Gian-like dominance, Suneo-like scheming and considerable Dekisugi-like intelligence and competence, but without Dekisugi's moral restraint—and with actual ninja abilities added to the mix. I'm not saying these characters are the same. I'm just using them to describe the different traits that come together in Kemumaki.

I may not remember every single episode or detail perfectly, so I don't want to act like all these examples are equally accurate. Some of these are things I recall from one specific episode, while others are patterns I remember showing up in several episodes. But if we look at the overall pattern, I think the bigger question is worth asking:

Are we sometimes judging Kemumaki by a different standard simply because we find him smarter, more charismatic or more sympathetic than the person he's antagonising?

Fans can absolutely like Kemumaki. I do think he's a fascinating character. But liking a character and defending everything that character does are two completely different things.

I consider him as the best villain of all the Fujiko stories cause he remains a constant opposition and has traits of a bully,an inventor, and a smart schemer.

He's understood quite well, but sometimes excused too easily.(thanks to social media popular theories again)

It’s honestly wild how much people in India are making up these weird narratives about Doraemon characters lately. Shizuka and Dekisugi are getting so much hate, and now even study subs like r/ICSE are letting this misinformation spread. It’s frustrating because these posts are getting upvotes in a sub that’s usually dead, and the mods are just letting it happen.

Calling a literal child a 'gold digger' is just messed up. Aside from Dekisugi, who’s basically a perfect human plot device, every single one of Shizuka’s friends is flawed. Even Doraemon joins in on the bathroom peeking jokes sometimes, but she doesn't just cut everyone off forever

She isn't obligated to stay glued to Nobita’s side 24/7. Why can't she just hang out with Suneo or Gian? It feels like people think she isn't allowed to have other friends just because Nobita wants her attention. Honestly, this whole thing reflects how the world treats women—if you're quiet, you just have to endure mindless criticism. These takes are everywhere on Insta and YouTube now, and they're starting to dictate how everyone thinks. We really need to find a way to stop these toxic narratives from becoming the norm..

Anyway thank you u/albertonykus for https://albertonykus.tumblr.com/post/765353533002383360/is-shizuka-a-good-friend-to-nobita. I have taken few pics from it comment against it.

I was looking back at the most popular Doraemon movie songs and I noticed a really cool pattern.

"Amu to Emu no Uta" — Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops: Winged Angels (2011)

​"Shounenki" — Doraemon: Nobita's Little Star Wars (1985)

​"YUME Biyori" — Doraemon: Nobita in the Wan-Nyan Spacetime Odyssey (2004)

​"Yume no Hito" — Doraemon: Nobita's Three Visionary Swordsmen (1994)

​The Pattern:

​Out of these four masterpieces, three are actually sung by characters within the movie itself ("Amu to Emu no Uta", "Shounenki", and "YUME Biyori").

Then you have "Yume no Hito" from Nobita's Three Visionary Swordsmen (1994).

It’s the outlier because it only plays in the background, but it’s still weirdly different.

It actually plays a few times throughout the movie, while the other three mostly one-time performances(execpt Amu to Emu no Uta).

So, out of these four, which one is your absolute favorite? Or do you have another song which you like even more? Let me know in the comments! I don’t really have one favorite song, but I definitely go through phases where I loop certain tracks way more than others. Right now, I’m listening to Kaze No Majikaru every single day.
