After Nobita and friends implored Doraemon to create an underground hideout for themselves, they discovered a hidden world beneath the earth's surface where dinosaurs still exists, having escaped cataclysm millions of years ago. An earlier misunderstanding leads to Suneo being stranded underground, sending Doraemon and friends to embark on a rescue mission where they meets Banhou, a dinosaur knight belonging to a hidden civilization of humanoid dinosaurs, whose ancestors - the troodont ''Stenonychosaurus'' - have evolved into a human-like state, living in a massive subterranean city called Enriru.

But after a rendezvous with Suneo, a sinister plot is uncovered from the raptor-men. Something which tells Doraemon and gang the noble knight of dinosaurs isn't who he seems. And the surface world is facing an imminent invasion...

* WhiteFlag: [[spoiler: After the initial retreat of the final battle, the raptor-men army resurfaces again only to see Doraemon waving a white flag, signalling a ceasefire for negotiation. It was here Doraemon uses a holographic projector to reveal the truth to Banhou, the raptor-men commander, and the raptor Pope - what ''actually killed the dinosaurs'']].
* YouCantFightFate: [[spoiler: Despite Banhou's protests, the raptor-men Pope actually said this trope almost word-for-word, saying that if their ancestors, the dinosaurs, are fated for extinction, they will accept their fates. Luckily Doraemon suggests that they TakeAThirdOption by offering to evacuate as many surviving dinosaurs underground as possible, so they may evolve in the millions of years to come - thereby ensuring the existance of the underground dinosaur-humans in the first place]].

* GiantWallOfWateryDoom: [[spoiler: The final battle between the gang and the raptor-men gets cut short by the meteor responsible for wiping the dinosaurs hitting the Atlantic Ocean. And then, a '''massive''' tsunami heads for the coast... Banhou and his knights is forced to retreat back into their vessel, while Doraemon starts rummaging for a useful gadget and took out the Pop Basement]].

* SaunaOfDeath: This ''nearly'' happens to the gang when they're aboard Banhou's ship en route to Enriru, when they realize their quarter's temperature is suspiciously rising. Gian and Nobita start removing their shirts, and then couldn't stand it anymore and began dropping pants (much to Shizuka's embarassment who began shielding her own eyes) when Banhou's voice suddenly comes from a nearby loudspeaker telling them there's an air-condition remote in the room. As it turns out their ship is currently passing Hawaii, through an underground volcano.

* StockDinosaurs: The underground world's jungles have the gang encountering ''Brontosaurus'', ''Triceratops'', ''Stegosaurus'', ''Ornithomimus'', ''Pteranodon'', and of course they get chased by a ''T. rex'' at one point.

* BeneathTheEarth: The plot of the story is kicked off when Nobita and friends convinced Doraemon to create their "own" underground hiding-place using the Holewhere. And then they discover Enriru, an underground civilization where dinosaurs still exist, with the raptors evolving into a human-like state.

* ExactEavesdropping: While the gang tries challenging each other to a race on domesticated velociraptors, Nobita, lagging behind as usual, ends up being flung into a restricted building in the underground world, and conveniently overhears a discussion involving the underground army intending to invade the surface world.

* BlindedByTheLight: The Show-off Bomb, a futuristic Light Grenade variant which emits powerful flashes of light and makes a lot of sharp noises, but doesn't leave any injury. [[spoiler: As Doraemon and friends have no intentions of ''actually'' hurting Banhou and his soldiers, the final battle have them throwing dozens and dozens of Show-off Bombs at the raptor-men army]].

* DomesticatedDinosaurs: While the raptor-men population of Enriru have evolved to surpassing human levels of intelligence, they still have dinosaurs domesticated either as beasts of burden, for riding, or as pets.

* FurryConfusion: Despite being living underground for 65 million years, majority of the dinosaurs are still savage, mindless beasts, with velociraptors being the only dinos to have evolved into humanoid beings having their own race, culture, language, and capable of building machines and weapons. And even then, there are ''still'' stray, unevolved raptors lingering about - heck, Banhou the titular character and his fellow dinosaur-knights are raptor-men, who rides regular raptors as their steeds. Better not dwell too much on that...

* LizardFolk: The underground dinosaur-men are descendants of velociraptors who evolved into a humanoid form.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: [[spoiler: The underground civilization of Enriru, created on the day of cataclysm which wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, was actually made by none other than Doraemon himself when he, in a last resort to save everybody and escape destruction, activates the Pop Basement gadget. In a hurry, Doraemon forgot to adjust the size and ends up creating an underground land the size of a small island, at which point the gang then use the Momotarō Pills to lure as many stray dinosaurs underground as they could, saving certain pockets of the dinosaur population from extinction. From there on the underground dinosaurs begin growing and evolving]]...

* FantasticLightSource: Despite being underground, Enriru and the surrounding subterranean civilizations are still well-lit, thanks to glowing funguses on the ceilings of their world.
