Doraemon is a robotic cat created in the 22nd century, specifically manufactured on September 3, 2112, at the Matsushiba Robot Factory. Sewashi Nobi, a descendant of the Nobi family, dispatched him back in time to assist his ancestor, Nobita Nobi. This intervention seeks to alter Nobita's future path, characterized by chronic misfortune, academic struggles, and financial hardship resulting from Nobita's own decisions. Physically, Doraemon presents as a blue, earless robotic cat. His missing ears trace back to an incident where robotic mice chewed them off as he slept. This malfunction caused systemic shock, stripping away his yellow paint to reveal the blue undercoat and embedding a deep, lasting fear of mice. His core function involves deploying futuristic gadgets retrieved from a fourth-dimensional pocket on his abdomen. This pocket houses thousands of tools, estimated at roughly 4,500 distinct devices. Notable examples include the "bamboo-copter" enabling flight, the "Anywhere Door" facilitating instant travel to any destination, and a "Time Machine." Access to these gadgets can sometimes be restricted by financial limitations within the future economy. In narratives such as the autumn-themed special, Doraemon's role focuses on supplying technological solutions to Nobita's immediate problems, often academic pressures or personal challenges. He provides gadgets intended to aid Nobita, like devices designed to enhance study efficiency during autumn. However, Nobita's frequent misuse or overreliance on these tools typically triggers unintended complications, generating chaotic or humorous outcomes. Although Doraemon offers guidance and warnings, the stories commonly follow a pattern where gadget use initially worsens problems before resolution. Doraemon's character remains steadfast in his supportive function towards Nobita across these narratives, exhibiting no significant alteration to his core traits or background within this specific special. The seasonal setting may metaphorically highlight themes of change or growth for Nobita, but Doraemon himself operates according to his established characteristics and purpose.
