"Doraemon" new fan
Nobita and Ome Takema Shizuka
According to the Tokyo Olympic Bidding Committee, Doraemon embodies some of Japan's core values, including respect and friendship, which are also Olympic values.
"Doraemon represents Japanese anime, and its success and popularity around the world proves Japan's ability to inspire and inspire more young people, and also proves that Japan has the ability to host an Olympic Games to better promote the Olympic spirit and encourage young people to pursue their dreams." Tokyo 2020 Olympic Bid Committee CEO Masato Mizuno said.
As we all know, when Tokyo, Japan, bid for next year's Summer Olympic Games, it used the classic Japanese avatar of "Doraemon" as the ambassador for the Olympic bid. It aims to promote Japanese culture to the world. And this classic comic has accompanied the growth of countless people.
Today, Dharma will shake some dry goods to everyone and give you a good look at the ending of "Doraemon".
"Doraemon" has always been synonymous with childhood in the hearts of many people. So many people have to ask, does "Doraemon" have a substantive ending? The following is a commentary and summary of the ending of Doraemon.
1. Does Doraemon have a true ending? What is the so-called "final return" that has been circulated?
At present, in addition to the special reasons for the replacement of anime voice actors and magazine serials, all the works circulating on the Internet are fan works. Later, before the author's death, it was revealed that Doraemon had no substantive ending, and the manga ended with its death. As for the version that still continues the story of "Doraemon" in the form of animation, this animated version is called "Doraemon" by mainland fans.
Doraemon has no ending. Except for the author's own "Goodbye, Doraemon", the rest are almost all works circulating on the Internet, many of which do not conform to Doraemon's beautiful world view.
The mainland Internet is full of all kinds of so-called "Doraemon finale". There are two versions that are most widely circulated, one is "Nobita is an autistic person, everything is Nobita's fantasy lying on a hospital bed", and the other is "Doraemon is out of power." Nobita worked hard from then on, grew up to be a good scientist, and finally fixed Doraemon." The former was actually a rumor circulating among Japanese elementary school students around 1985, but it was so widespread that even the author himself had to come forward to refute the rumor. As for the latter, although it is very touching, the comic fanwork that actually circulated around 2005 has also been officially denied.
So, does "Doraemon" have a "final return"? In a sense, there is. To explain this problem clearly, we must first start with the way the work is serialized. As mentioned above, the original serial platform of the manga version of Doraemon is the "Kindergarten" and "School Year" of the Elementary School Library, in order to take care of the different knowledge structure, cognitive level and reading ability of children of all ages, doraemon has different contents in different magazines, and Nobita has always maintained the same school year as the target readers. To put it in layman's terms, for example, the "school year" that children in the second grade of elementary school get, that is, "the second grade of elementary school", in the "Doraemon" serialized above, Nobita Nobita and his friends are also second-grade students of elementary school, and so on.
The "final return" we are talking about here is often related to the temporary end of the series. The first more formal "final return" was in the March issue of "Fourth Grade of Elementary School" in 1971, which said: Because too many future people have come to modern times through the time machine, the "Space-Time Bureau" has issued new regulations prohibiting unauthorized time travel, and Doraemon has to go back ("Doraemon Returns to the Future").
In the March issue of the 1972 "Fourth Grade", there was also a "final return": Seshu called Nobita back to the future because he was worried that Nobita was too dependent on Doraemon ("Doraemon is gone").
In the March issue of the 1974 "Third Grade of Elementary School", the last "final return" was published: for some reason, Doraemon had to return to the future, and in order to let it leave with confidence, Nobita began his own efforts ("Goodbye!"). Doraemon").
In addition, because the Japanese school year system begins in April and ends in March of the following year, readers of the fourth grade of elementary school will be promoted to the fifth grade after reading the "final return" on the March issue, and continue to read the story of "Doraemon" in the April issue of "Fifth Grade of Elementary School", so in the eyes of this group of Japanese elementary school students who grew up watching serials, Nobita actually accompanied them from the first grade to the sixth grade, and the cycle began.
Since 1974, the doraemon single book has been released, in order to make the setting unified, the content of all 45 single books is basically based on the parts published in the "fourth grade of elementary school" over the years, and Nobita is also fixed as a fourth-year elementary school student (and in the anime TV version, it is fixed as a fifth-grade student). Touching to tears, Doraemon was published in six "Early Childhood Chronicles" and "School Chronicles" at the same time during this period, but the stories published in these six magazines were almost completely different.
In other words, more than 500 doraemon stories, mainly drawn by Hiroshi Fujimoto, are not included in this well-known one-line version! Although the manga version could not be updated with the death of Mr. Fujimoto, fujiko-F-Fujio Productions, which he founded before his death, continued to create anime works for Doraemon, and the three words "final return" never appeared.
2. Ending version one - "Goodbye" version
Nobita fights the Fat Tiger
Nobita finally defeated Fat Tiger by his own efforts
After defeating Fat Tiger by his own efforts, Nobita drinks the "Lie 800" potion (which is a prop potion that verifies the opposite), and then tells the lie that "Doraemon will not come back", and finally reunites with Doraemon with the power of the prop.
The episode was drawn in the March issue of Showa 49 (1974), when Fujimoto-sensei wanted to end because it was unpopular. But out of Doraemon's love, he painted "Doraemon Returns". "Goodbye, Doraemon" is included in volume 6 of the single book, while "Doraemon is back" is included in volume 7 of the single book.
The story of this episode is told in the 1998 novella "Doraemon Is Back" and the 2009 "Doraemon TV Edition 30th Anniversary Special".
3. Ending version 2 - Showa 46 (1971) version
Because future people go to modern sightseeing, thus causing trouble to modern people, the future government legislated to prohibit time travel, so Doraemon must go back.
This ending was published in the March issue of Showa 46 (1971), fourth grade of elementary school. The name of the magazine that publishes Doraemon is "Elementary School", and this "Elementary School" is not published only once a month, but publishes a total of six books from "Primary School Grade 1" to "Primary 6 Grade", corresponding to all grades.
So, when the fourth grade elementary school students start to become the fifth grade, the books they want to read will also be changed from "Fourth Grade of Elementary School" to "Fifth Grade of Primary School", so this ending is to say goodbye to these children. But when they see "Fifth Grade," they'll find that "Doraemon is back."
4. Ending version 3 - Showa 47 (1972) version
Seshu (Nobita's grandson) believes that if Doraemon is always by Nobita's side, Nobita will be able to achieve nothing because he depends on others for everything, so he wants Doraemon to return to the future.
Therefore, Doraemon pretended to be ill, but then Nobita was very worried, and Doraemon told Nobita the reason why he really wanted to go back to the future, and Nobita said that he thought the same way, so he wanted Doraemon to go back to the future. Since then, Doraemon has used time TV every day to watch Nobita's efforts to rise.
Doraemon, which was screened by Japanese television in 1973, was scripted in this way to show the final episode of Doraemon.
5. Ending version four - autistic version
Nobita is a severely autistic child who has been lying on his sickbed for eight years. Eight years later, when he woke up on his sickbed, he realized that everything was just a dream he had in those eight years of coma. Doraemon is his fantasy of a better life; Shizuka is his fantasy of love; and Fat Tiger and Xiaofu are his fantasies of friendship. In short, everything does not exist. In the real world, he — Nobita Nobita — is nothing more than a pathetic autistic.
Although the content is slightly different, but all of them are based on the "Nobita is a vegetative person, autistic child, everything is just his imagination" as the main content to structure the ending, since the BBS epidemic has appeared in the major anime discussion boards.
6. Ending version five - out of power version

It was found that Doraemon had no response
Nobita learns from Doraemon that Doraemon has run out of power
Nobita wants to bring Doraemon back to the future for repairs

Doraemon revives
One day, as usual, Nobita forgot to do his homework, was scolded by the teacher at school, and was bullied by the fat tiger and the little husband. In short, for Nobita, life is the recurrence of a series of similar events. Today is no different from yesterday.
The only change was that Doraemon suddenly turned into a vegetative human machine. No matter how Nobita kicked, punched, and scolded, Doraemon didn't react. Nobita didn't know what had happened to Doraemon. No matter how sad he was, Doraemon just sat motionless.
Finally, Nobita remembers the time machine in the drawer and flies to the 22nd century in his pajamas to find Doraemon's sister Doraemon. Before Doraemi could fully finish listening to the explanation, she was urged by Nobita to fly back to the 20th century on a time machine.
When Doraemon saw that her brother did not move, she instantly knew that the battery was running out. When she was about to change the battery, Doraemon remembered a very important thing - there was no backup power supply! Nobita didn't understand what it meant, and only urged it from the sidelines. Doraemon had to ask Nobita, "Are you willing to let your brother and your memories disappear?" It turns out that the ears of the old cat-type robots are equipped with a backup power supply so that they can maintain their memories when charging, but... Doraemon has no ears!
Nobita finally understood the difficulty of things. Tidal memories flashed back in Nobita's mind. Nobita and Doraemon have flown to the past and the future, and have also fought in the dinosaur world, the underwater world, and even in the universe... Doraemon desperately explains to Nobita that if she wants to install a new battery, Doraemon will wake up and lose all the memories she once had with Nobita. If the status quo is maintained, the memory will not disappear. As a result, Nobita chose to maintain the status quo. At this time, Nobita was still in the fifth grade of elementary school.
After a number of later... Nobita, who returned from overseas, has grown into a handsome and charming young man who works for a cutting-edge technology company. The bride beside him is Shizuka of the green plum bamboo horse.
At that time, after Doraemon returned to the 22nd century, Nobita only told the people around him that Doraemon had returned to the future world. As time went on, no one mentioned Doraemon again. However, Doraemon has always been properly kept in Nobita's closet. In order to repair Doraemon, Nobita studied hard, and then junior high school, high school, and college, and his grades rose year by year. Finally, I went to study abroad.
Twenty years later, Nobita was in his own research room. He summoned his wife, Shizuka, who was forbidden to enter and exit the research room on weekdays. Say to her, "Look, I'm going to hit the switch. After saying that, Nobita couldn't help but shed two strings of tears on his cheeks. He has been studying hard for more than ten years for this moment! For this moment, from a stupid student who always forgot to do his homework and his grades were relatively fast from the bottom, he climbed to today's position!
When he pressed the switch, there was a long silence, silence... Finally, Doraemon spoke, "Nobita, have you finished your homework?" The two embraced each other.
At this time, Nobita seems to understand that he created Doraemon himself. Such an ending should be good for us. It reflects from the side a person's attachment to certain things, not giving up, because "a lifetime of persistent beliefs" and "enough to change all friendships".
Unlike versions such as the Autism Edition, this version of Doraemon Ending has a complete manga manuscript circulating on the Internet (other versions of the unofficial ending have not been pictured, even a few testimonies that claim to have seen these manga versions are extremely untrustworthy), and because the story structure is complete and touching, it was mistaken by many people around 2005 as the "real ending of Doraemon" and widely circulated on the Internet.
In any case, this fake ending can be said to be the most perfect.
7. Ending version six - 3D version
Doraemon is programmed to return to the future
Tokyo 2020 Olympics Avatar Ambassador - Doraemon
In the 2014 3D version of Doraemon: Walk with Me, some people mistaken it for the Doraemon finale, but it was wrong. Because the 3D version is mainly a summary version of Doraemon to Nobita's side, and then add "Goodbye, Doraemon" and "Nobita's Wedding Eve" to the three stories. In other words, it's just a summative Doraemon movie.
The above is the combing and explanation of the finale of "Doraemon". For decades, the story of Doraemon has been alive in people's hearts. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Doraemon also became a virtual image ambassador, showing its influence around the world. I believe that this childhood classic will stay with us forever!
