Reader’s Question:
Will characters from Doraemon movies, like Myroclea Palchai from this year’s film, ever appear again?
Will We Ever See Myroclea Palchai Again?
Ah, the wonderful world of Doraemon! It’s always a delight to dive into the universe crafted by Fujiko F. Fujio. Now, the question of whether characters like Myroclea
Palchai from this year’s film will reappear is indeed an intriguing one. As our fellow fan pointed out, the chances are slim. Characters like Pisu and Pega, who were born from the creative mind of Fujimoto-sensei, are tied to contracts with Fujiko Pro. The situation is a little different with original characters from the Water田 version of the movies, which are designed by various individuals and overseen by different directors. Each of these creations requires permission to reappear, and that, as we know, often involves financial negotiations. It reminds me of a time when I was eagerly waiting for the latest movie release. I had arrived at the cinema far too early, my excitement bubbling over as I indulged in one too many snacks from the concession stand. I mean, who can resist popcorn, right? As I sat there, I thought about all the whimsical characters that had graced the screen over the years. It struck me how each character brought its own charm, but also how complex the legalities of bringing them back could be. The Water田 version doesn’t really work on sequels or follow-ups in the same way that traditional storytelling does. It’s like starting fresh each time, which leaves us with both anticipation and a tinge of disappointment. However, there’s always a glimmer of hope! If the same designer and director team up for a special anniversary project, we might just see some familiar faces again. On a lighter note, it’s worth mentioning that certain characters have made one-off appearances in the anime, much to our delight. It’s like a surprise party where you didn’t expect a guest, and then—bam!—there they are! I also find it fascinating how each year, the movies intertwine elements from previous stories. While we may not see Myroclea Palchai again, a little piece of the past might just pop up in the next film, serving as a nostalgic nod to loyal fans. So, what do you think? Have you ever experienced that thrill of seeing your favorite character make a comeback in an unexpected way? Or perhaps you have tips on how to navigate the world of fandom and contracts? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments!
