Indian mom complains about Nobita from “Doraemon,” clearly having a good hand but playing it so poorly! His upbringing is much better than others, yet he still doesn’t work hard in studying!

The main character Nobita from the famous animation “Doraemon” is often depicted as a person who lacks physical ability, performs poorly academically, and is unwilling to change his situation through his own efforts. Whenever he encounters difficulties, he always runs to Doraemon to cry and hopes to receive help from secret gadgets.

Recently, a mother from India expressed her dissatisfaction with Nobita, pointing out that he clearly has favorable living conditions but refuses to make an effort, wasting a “good hand.”

Now, let’s take a look at how Japanese netizens react to this opinion.

It seems that ‘Doraemon’ is also aired in India. An Indian mother once expressed to me: ‘Nobita clearly has a spacious room that belongs to him, his family is very harmonious, and he even has a friend like Doraemon. With such a privileged life, how can his grades still be so poor? Don’t the Japanese feel dissatisfied with him?’ This made me feel that she thinks Nobita is spoiled, and I couldn’t help but laugh.

This paragraph comes from a Japanese netizen living in the United States, who shared a humorous story about mentioning “Doraemon” with an Indian mother, which sparked widespread discussion.

Nobita’s growing environment is indeed good, but why doesn’t he work hard at studying?

 In response to this question, Japanese netizens have expressed their opinions:

 My mom has the same opinion.

As a Japanese person, I feel quite helpless regarding Nobita’s lack of ambition. What surprises me even more is that he was able to marry Shizuka.

I think many Japanese people hold similar opinions. For single-parent families that cannot provide basic necessities for their children, Nobita’s attitude may provoke great anger.

 I’ve never really liked Nobita.

When I was young, I found Nobita’s reliance on Doraemon very annoying, so I stopped watching.

I remember that during the serialization, elementary school students in Japan complained that ‘Nobita relies on Doraemon.’

Nobi’s family is portrayed as an average ordinary salaryman family, so this phenomenon naturally raises dissatisfaction among Japanese people whose living standards are below theirs. My family was also once quite poor, so I understand that feeling.

Me too! Nobita always cries and begs Doraemon for help, which is really hard to watch. Not to mention he often peeks at his female classmates while they are bathing; this four-eyed frog is simply unbearable.

No one has ever truly cared about Nobita. He struggles with his studies, and the teacher only makes him stand in the hallway as punishment, causing his grades to plummet. His mother only scolds him after he fails an exam but provides no real help. For someone Nobita’s age, being self-reliant is very difficult, and the adults around him just emotionally criticize him without truly helping.

Indeed, the values of ethnicity and the times will affect how people view the work ‘Doraemon.’ Nowadays, looking at it, Nobita’s mom and Gian’s mom might be considered ‘harmful parents’ in the modern context.

As someone who grew up in a big family, I really envy Nobita for being an only child. He not only has his own room, but his room is also filled with comics, and he even has a Doraemon!

Do you think your background has influenced your view of Nobita?
