Synopsis

Fandom Wiki

The episode begins with Nobita waiting for Shizuka at her house to invite her out. But when he looks through the window, he sees Shizuka's mother scolding her for allegedly spilling ink on a notebook. Shizuka herself tries to justify herself to her mother that it was not her and cries from resentment. Nobita feels sorry for Shizuka and runs home to his room, where he jumps into a drawer on a time machine and flies into the past. When he arrives a few hours back, he sees through the window how Shizuka's father ran home to get important documents and did not notice how, in his haste, he knocked over a jar of ink and it spilled on the notebook. Returning to the present, Nobita explains to Shizuka and her mother that in fact, her dad spilled the ink. Upon learning this, Shizuka reports to her dad at work. Realizing that he was the one who spilled the ink, Dad apologizes to Shizuka. While walking down the street, Shizuka thanks Nobita for finding out who was the culprit of the spilled ink. Arriving at a vacant lot, Nobita began bragging that he knows everything that happened and is always ready to help. Doraemon, who overheard Nobita, shames him for not playing detective with the time machine to avoid getting into trouble. Suddenly, Gian runs up to Doraemon and Nobita, crying because his dad was hit by a car. Nobita volunteers to help and runs home to the time machine. Doraemon tries to stop him, but Gian yells at him, causing him to fall. Flying back in time several times, he takes a photo of Gian's dad actually being hit by a car. At home, he thinks about how he should prevent the tragedy, despite Doraemon's reservations. Then, he flies back in time a few minutes and sees Gian's dad returning from shopping. As soon as Nobita notices the car, he pushes his dad, stopping him, and the car passes by. Nobita boasts to Doraemon that the tragedy was averted, but Gian comes to his house and angrily accuses Nobita of pushing his dad, causing him to drop the pancakes from the bag. Nobita tries to justify himself to Gian that the tragedy was averted, but he does not want to listen to him and, attacking, hits him. Nobita finally understands that he should not have meddle in other people's business, to which Doraemon agrees with this and laughs.

In the final scene, Nobita flies in a time machine, but is pushed by Doraemon in his time machine, however, Nobita in response pushes Doraemon himself and he falls from the time machine.
