- August 25, 2015
Noby's Home is His Castle is the 23rd episode of season 2 of the popular anime series Doraemon. The show follows the adventures of the titular character, Doraemon, a robotic cat from the future who travels back in time to assist a young boy named Noby. In this episode, Noby finds himself struggling to deal with a noisy and messy household, until he comes up with a plan to take control of his environment.
The episode opens with Noby waking up to the usual chaos of his family home. His younger sister, who loves to play loud music, is already awake and dancing around the living room. Their parents, who are always busy and disorganized, are rushing around trying to get ready for work. Meanwhile, Noby's own room is a mess, with toys and clothes strewn all over the floor.
Feeling overwhelmed by the noise and disorder, Noby decides to take matters into his own hands. He remembers a story his grandfather once told him about a medieval king who built a castle to protect himself from the outside world. Inspired by this story, Noby decides to create his own fortress at home, where he can retreat to whenever he needs peace and quiet.
Working with Doraemon's high-tech gadgets, Noby begins to transform his room into a castle. He sets up a drawbridge, with a moat of water that can be activated with the press of a button. He uses hologram technology to create towers and battlements on his walls. He even creates a secret trapdoor that leads to an underground tunnel system.
As Noby's castle takes shape, he finds himself feeling more and more empowered. He enlists the help of his friends, Sneech and Big G, to create suits of armor and medieval weapons to defend his castle. Together, they stage mock battles and jousts within the walls of Noby's room.
However, Noby soon realizes that his quest for control may have gone too far. His family members are unable to enter his room without his permission, and he finds himself becoming increasingly isolated. When he sees his sister crying because she can't spend time with him, Noby realizes that he needs to find a balance between order and chaos.
In the end, Noby comes up with a compromise that allows him to have his castle and still be part of his family. He opens up his room to his sister and parents, inviting them to join him for a medieval-themed party. As they share pizza and games, they realize that everyone needs their own space, but also needs to be part of a community.
Noby's Home is His Castle is a fun and imaginative episode that explores themes of control, compromise, and family dynamics. As always, Doraemon and his futuristic gadgets provide a playful and inventive backdrop for Noby's adventures, offering a unique blend of science fiction and fantasy. Fans of the show will enjoy this episode for its creative storytelling and whimsical humor.
