As Nobita dreams of him and his friends in the roles of gallant musketeers, the dream world starts to break down due to a dark force, and Nobita will have to put his fantasy to the test and become a hero, both in the real world and imagined.

Doraemon went missing for 3 days. But it turns out later that he went to the 22nd century to buy a mystery galactic express train ticket whose destination is a secret until the passengers arrive there and see for themselves.

Nobita, after wondering if Heaven truly exists, asks for Doraemon to take him there. When his robot pal suggests that they make their own Heaven, Nobita enlists Shizuka, Gian, and Suneo to help, but a war breaks out between two islands in the clouds that could have terrible environmental consequences if Nobita and Doraemon don't bring peace in time!

To help him with his summer vacation project, Doraemon gives Nobita a kit which allows him to create a new world. The duo and their friends then go on a journey to witness the evolution of life.

When an alien bomb powerful enough to destroy the entire planet sticks to the buttocks of Shin-chan's pet dog Shiro, a race to save the world begins.

The story is set in a village in the southern Japanese prefecture of Kōchi during World War II. Even in this remote mountainous area, the perception of American and British people as "brutes" has taken root, due to the deaths and injuries among the villagers' relatives. A elementary schoolgirl named Eiko transfers from the city of Yokohama to this village. Eiko happens to have blue eyes from her American father, and her classmates make no attempt to rein in their bullying. Other than Eiko's homeroom teacher Akiko, even the teachers view Eiko the same way that the children do. However, a boy named Kenta views Eiko more with curiosity than with hostility. The children's lives change as the injured father of one of Kenta's classmates returns from the battlefield and news of more casualties arrives in the village.

Kiku-chan to Ookami is, like most of the Sensou Douwa specials, based on a short story by Nosaka Akiyuki. It is set in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo (the Chinese province of Manchuria) during the closing days of Word War II. Life for the Japanese colonists is tranquil, with none of the hazards and shortages occurring in the Japanese homeland. Then, on August 9, 1945, the Soviet Union, fulfilling its obligations to the Western Allies, declares war and invades. The local Kwantung Army folds up like a house of cards, leaving the Japanese colonists exposed to the invading Russians and Chinese.

War drama based on a short story by Akiyuki Nosaka.
