Line 116:
* [[Monster Roommate]]
* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: All nudity of the boys, Shizuka's constant bath scenes, and her numerous [[Panty Shot|panty shots]]... technically not [[Fan Service]], instead they're [[Played for Laughs]]. After all, they're just kids.
* [[No Ending]]: Quite possibly, which ends up having the fans create their own endings in doujin comics. One [[Happily Ever After|happy ending]]<ref>Doraemon's battery fails, and without his ears, they can't swap it out without wiping his brain. Not only that, the time police have placed an absolute embargo on anyone interfering in any way with Nobita and the now-unconscious Doraemon. Rather than swap his battery, which would effectively kill him, Nobita spends the next ''35 years'' becoming the world's foremost expert in robotics in order to save him, marrying Shizuka on the way. But as his friends figure out, it was all a [[Stable Time Loop]] -- the technology that Doraemon was bringing back was way, way too advanced unless something [[The Singularity|remarkable happens]] to jumpstartjump-start the technology -- like Dr. Nobita Nobi reverse engineering Doraemon enough to fix him.</ref> (which was legendarily [[Jossed]] [http://zepy.momotato.com/2007/05/29/author-to-pay-settlement-for-doraemon-doujinshi/ from orbit, with nuclear fire] by the publishers due to the art being picture perfect to the original series and ththe ending being more or less beloved by the entire fanbase) and two [[Downer Ending|Downer Endings]], one of which was lifted from [[St Elsewhere]].

There is even an episode where he was stuck in the old west, and became a sherrifsheriff's deputy. The talent is obviously more useful in the movies.
* [[The Verse]]: Surprisingly, a lot of Fujiko Fujio's works seem to share the same universe. For example, Doraemon and Nobita once saved a hotel from bankruptcy. The hotel owners are clearly the ancestor of ''21Emon'''s main character. Sumire Hoshino, an artist that often appears in the series is the grown up version of [[Pa Man]] 3, one of [[Pa Man]]'s protagonist. There's even an episode dealing with Sumire telling Doraemon and Nobita about her faraway lover. Sumire never tells the name of his lover, but there is a picture of Mitsuo Suwa, the original [[Pa Man]] and its main protagonist, on her liontinlion-tin.
