You'll want to tell someone! A three-choice trivia quiz about Doraemon

typhoon

In Doraemon, there’s an episode where Nobita uses a secret gadget called the “Typhoon Egg” to raise a typhoon from an egg. It’s a fantastical story that defies ordinary logic, with Nobita hatching the egg and bonding with the typhoon as it grows. Alongside weather and natural phenomena, it’s a unique episode that also prompts reflection on the growth of living beings.

painter

Nobisuke Nobi, Nobita’s father, dreamed of becoming a painter when he was a child. Both the original manga and the anime touch on this dream, and there are episodes showing him painting in oils when he was young. Although he now works as an ordinary office employee, occasional scenes depicting his past dreams and memories suggest that Nobisuke had a strong passion for art.

Tulip

The time machine Dorami-chan uses is shaped like a tulip. This unique design matches her adorable personality and is well-known among many Doraemon fans. Compared to Doraemon’s simple time machine, Dorami-chan’s is cute and designed so you can get inside, which also makes it feel like a next-generation successor.

flower(s)

Dorami-chan, Doraemon’s little sister, has a flower-shaped tail. Unlike Doraemon’s round, bell-like tail, her tail design reflects her bright and lively personality. Because her overall design is quite different from Doraemon’s, this detail is easy to overlook.

Memory Bread

Anki-Pan is one of the secret gadgets that Doraemon produces. You press the content you want to memorize onto a slice of bread to transfer it, and then by simply eating it, you can easily memorize the material. In the story, it was used for things like studying for tests, but since the more you have to memorize, the more bread you have to eat, you can probably guess where that leads.

three times

One reason there are so many bath-related scenes—famous as a recurring Doraemon gag—is that Shizuka-chan reportedly takes a bath three times a day. She sometimes bathes in the morning, after coming home, and before bed, which naturally increases the chances of barging in on her in the bath. It’s on the frequent side but not extreme, which also makes it feel realistic.

Giants

The official name of the baseball team formed by Gian is “the Gians.” The origin is simple—it’s a baseball team led by Gian—but it also seems to nod to the real professional team, the Yomiuri Giants. It’s an important team that often serves as a catalyst for stories, through practice happenings and games against others.
