History Manga / DoctorSlump

** In one chapter of the original series, Obotchaman [[TimeTravel travels to the future with a time machine]] and discovers that he and Arale will be married with a baby robot built by Dr. Senbei (both Obotchaman and Arale are RidiculouslyHumanRobots). In the next chapter, Tori-bot [[TimeTravel travels to the future with a time machine]] does the same and encounters future!Peasuke and his wife, the latter of whom is holding a baby, while future!Peasuke has a brief conversation with future!Arale.

* BabiesEverAfter: In one chapter of the original series, Obotchaman travels to the future with a time machine and discovers that he and Arale will be married with a baby robot built by Dr. Senbei (both Obotchaman and Arale are RidiculouslyHumanRobots). In the final episode of the remake there is the same scene (with their baby ten years in the future), except that the moment is shown in the epilogue rather than as a result of time travel. Also, the same episode ends with the birth of Turbo, Senbei and Midori's son, and the epilogue shows they will have other children.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: PlayedForLaughs, Tori-bot's last question in the "ask the author" chapter is why Arale has never been devoured by Gatchan(s), to which Arale responds that she's made of rubber. Then Arale returns the favor by asking him what he's made of, to which he says that he's made of steel-metal alloy. Unfortunately for Tori-bot, the Gatchans are still nearby and feeling hungry and aren't averse to eating steel-metal alloy; when the Gatchans are satisfied, all that's left of him is a single, twitching arm.[[note]][[UnexplainedRecovery He's back in action, fully alive and kicking, in the next chapter that warrants his presence, though.]][[/note]]

** When Tori-Bot asks Future!Arale about Dr. Mashirito, she shows him [[spoiler:by pointing at a spot on the ground where a screw bolt lies.]] That's precisely what becomes of Dr. Mashirito after the "Who's the Strongest in the World?" tournament, which commences shortly after Tori-Bot's TimeTravel chapter takes place, ends.

** The characters who have been hitherto paired romantically, whether explicitly or implied, are shown in those chapters to have been HappilyMarried, with some of them having a baby each for good measure. In the present time, none of them have ever broken up.
--->'''Tori-Bot''': *thinking to himself* Haven't these rubes heard of "dating around"?

A classic gag manga and anime by Creator/AkiraToriyama, ''Dr. Slump'' chronicles the misadventures of Senbei Norimaki, a semi-competent inventor, and his latest invention, a RobotGirl named Arale who appears to be an ordinary human... aside from her superhuman strength and [[CloudCuckooLander space cadet behavior.]]

** Suppaman, an AffectionateParody of Superman...well, maybe not so affectionate, given how he's portrayed as a JerkAss with no real superpowers.

* BellyButtonless: In an early chapter, Arale is worried because she lacks a navel and her classmates find that weird, so she wants one. Except Senbei thinks she wants something a bit lower, which he's never seen because of Japanese censorship. HilarityEnsues.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: An accidental version takes place roughly midway through the series, after Dr. Mashirito orders Obotchaman to GetOut due to Obotchaman failing to destroy Arale and [[SpannerInTheWorks accidentally thwarting Mashirito's latest attempt to destroy Arale, injuring Mashirito in the process]]. When Obotchaman goes to Penguin Village in the hope of building a house of his own, he comes across an empty one. Thinking it abandoned, he promptly takes it as his own and relocates it to his preferred spot for residence. What he doesn't know is that the house DID belong to someone -- [[JerkAss Suppaman]], whom Obotchaman had an altercation with in the past. When Suppaman returns, all he sees is an empty lot where his house used to be.[[note]]Obotchaman will take possession of the house for the rest of the series' run, which is confirmed by Obotchaman during his own TimeTravel into the future, with NO ONE (Obotchaman and Suppaman included) knowing the full truth about the history of the ownership of the house.[[/note]]

* PictorialLetterSubstitution: The title logo has a subtle one where the handakuten in "Slump" is replaced with a heart (and in the 1997 revival, a mechanical nut).
