Future of Doraemon: Stand by Me Doraemon 3 and Beyond

Do you think a third film for the beloved Stand by Me Doraemon could be created? It’s certainly possible, and many fans eagerly await the possibility of a fourth or even a fifth installment. Below, I explore the potential stories that could be adapted for these films, delving into intriguing plotlines and character developments.

Overview of Past Films

Let's first revisit the stories from the first two Doraemon films:

Stand by Me Doraemon (2005-2008)

1. All the Way from the Country of the Future 2. Imprinting Egg 3. Goodbye Shizuka 4. Romance in the Snowy Mountain 5. Nobita's Night Before a Wedding 6. Goodbye Doraemon…Doraemon Comes Back

Concepts for Stand by Me Doraemon 3

Here are my general theories for a new Stand by Me Doraemon film:

The What If Phone and Reversal of Roles

Imagine a scenario where Nobita feels responsible for keeping Doraemon from returning home. Using Doraemon's What If Phone, Nobita attempts to make himself the opposite, but he ignores Doraemon's warnings about the phone's glitches. The outcome is that everyone becomes the opposite of their original selves:

Nobita becomes Nobiko Shizuka becomes Shizuotto Takeshi becomes Takeko Suneo becomes Suneko

Together, the group sets out to save Doraemon, who is also altered, from the School Director who wants to reprogram him. After the group discovers and resolves the issue, Nobita feels more connected to Doraemon in the future than he is in his present reality, as Doraemon becomes a leader of bandits.

The Squared Doraemon and Mouse Incident

Next, we can explore how Doraemon turns into a squared shape, leading to a suspenseful and humorous situation. Doraemon, now in a mouse-like state, discovers that extreme fear can fix his personality glitch. The ensuing adventures involve transforming everyone into tiny mice and using Doraemon's Ultra Mixer to fuse him with Nobita and other characters, creating hilarious and unique combinations like:

Nobiemon (Nobita Doraemon) Shizumyako (Shizuka Noramyako)

The film concludes with the group celebrating and sharing laughter, reflecting on their unique experiences and growth.

Potential Plot Ideas

Here are a few other potential plot ideas:

1. The Birth of Doraemon

This could be a flashback through Doraemon's backstory, combining stories like:

2112: The Birth of Doraemon Doraemon's Girlfriend The Day Doraemon is Reborn Parallel World - I'm Nobiko-Chan When Take BoyGirl are all combined into 1 whole story Doraemon is Really Sick Doraemon Squared On that Day Everything Turned into Mice Ultra Mixer

These could form a cohesive narrative, showing the evolution of Doraemon from birth to his first day at robot school and beyond.

2. Doraemon Meeting Noramyako

Another idea could be incorporating the story of Doraemon meeting Noramyako, which includes:

2112: The Birth of Doraemon Doraemon's Girlfriend The Day Doraemon is Reborn Parallel World - I'm Nobiko-Chan When Take BoyGirl are all combined into 1 whole story Doraemon is Really Sick Doraemon Squared On that Day Everything Turned into Mice Ultra Mixer The contents of Doraemon's gadgets and their malfunctions

This storyline could add depth to Doraemon's character while exploring the complexities of the future.
