The robotic cat from the future, always ready with gadgets to help Nobita.

Doraemon acts as Nobita's guide and confidante, offering support and solutions while also pushing him to take responsibility for his actions.

He's particularly concerned in this episode because the altered future could have unforeseen consequences on the timeline, potentially jeopardizing his own existence.

The neighborhood bully.

Gian's role is less prominent but still significant.

The future reveals Gian's success in a field Nobita always secretly admired, highlighting Nobita's feelings of inadequacy and driving him to question his own potential.

* The wealthy and boastful friend.

1.

While playing in the backyard, Nobita stumbles upon a strange, metal container buried deep in the ground.

It's his childhood time capsule, buried years ago with the help of Doraemon.

The excitement quickly turns to confusion when the time capsule activates a small, malfunctioning time machine attached to it.

2.

The time machine projects a series of holographic images depicting Nobita's future.

The images reveal a Nobita who is even more unsuccessful and unhappy than he currently is.

He's stuck in a dead-end job, living in a cramped apartment, and his relationship with Shizuka is strained and distant.

3.

Distraught by the vision, Nobita demands that Doraemon take him back to the day they buried the time capsule.

He wants to understand what decisions led to this bleak future and, more importantly, how to prevent it.

4.

Back in the past, Nobita witnesses his younger self burying the time capsule, filled with childish dreams and aspirations.

He realizes that the seeds of his future were sown not just by his actions, but also by his lack of self-belief and his tendency to give up easily.

5.

Inspired by his younger self's innocent optimism, Nobita decides to rewrite the contents of the time capsule.

He replaces the items representing his fears and insecurities with objects symbolizing his aspirations and newfound determination.

He includes a note to his future self, urging him to never give up on his dreams.

6.

Returning to the present, Nobita and Doraemon cautiously activate the time machine again.

The holographic images are different this time, but not entirely reassuring.

Nobita's future is still uncertain, but he's no longer filled with despair.

He sees glimpses of potential success, but also hints of challenges and setbacks.

7.

As Nobita grapples with the ambiguity of his future, a figure emerges from the malfunctioning time machine – an older version of himself.

This older Nobita isn't the miserable failure he saw earlier.

Instead, he's a seasoned, albeit slightly weary, inventor.

The older Nobita reveals that while his life wasn't always easy, he eventually found his passion in inventing.

He explains that the initial vision Nobita saw was just one possible outcome, a path he almost took before realizing his true potential.

He emphasizes that the choices Nobita makes in the present will ultimately determine his future.

However, he warns Nobita that changing the timeline too drastically can have unforeseen consequences.

The twist comes when the older Nobita reveals that the malfunctioning time machine was his own invention, sent back in time as a test to see if his younger self would have the strength to change his destiny.
