Characters from Doraemon: Great Adventure in the Antarctic Kachi Kochi (SPOILERS UNMARKED)
Planet Hyuga Hyuga
Carla
A young girl from the distant Planet Hyuga Hyuga, who escaped to a set of ruins in Antarctica 100,000 years ago to escape the monster Blizarga who wiped out most of her world. She found the one weapon which can defeat the monster, only to lose it in the ice after being attacked by Octogon.
- Fiery Redhead: She's a redhead pretty fiery, active and lively, racing Nobita when she first meets him and later following Nobita into Blizarga's core to shut it down.
- Friend to All Living Things: If the entire herd of Pao Pao she easily befriends is any indication.
- Modesty Shorts: She wears leggings underneath her short skirts, which is great considering the amount of high octane chase scenes, fights, and aerial chases via Take-Copter she finds herself in.
- Mysterious Waif: A mystery red-headed girl that keeps appearing in Nobita's visions.
- Or Was It a Dream?: Nobita somehow kept having dreams of seeing Carla inviting him to follow her, in the Antarctica wastelands, after he picked up Carla's golden bracelet. He assumes it's a dream, but after travelling to 100,000 years ago Nobita then sees Carla in the ruins of a city in ancient Antarctica.
Professor Hyakkoi
Carla's mentor whose relationship with her is somewhat ambiguous, nevertheless she stays at his place as the two of them tried figuring a way back to Planet Hyuga Hyuga.
- The Mentor: To Carla.
- Mr. Exposition: He fills in the backstory and legend of Blizarga's awakening after dinnertime, and fills in the blanks to the gang (and the audience) regarding how they ended up on Antarctica 100,000 years ago and how the city came to be.
- Parental Substitute: It's not made clear what his relationship with Carla was, but he's the closest Carla has to a guardian, more as a grandfather.
Mofusuke and Yukatan
Mofusuke
Yukatan
A pair of Pao Pao (alien elephants on two legs) who accompanies the gang. Turns out there's an entire herd of these under Carla and Hyakkoi's ownership, serving as welcoming committee for Doraemon and gang as soon as they arrive.- Continuity Nod: They're a variant of the Pao Pao, a race of bipedal two-legged elephants from another planet which briefly appears previously in Doraemon: The Record of Nobita : Spaceblazer.
- Deep Sleep: Once they're in hibernation (which occurs as soon as they're exposed to freezing cold) they'll continue sleeping until they thaw out. Mofusuke near the end of the story displays the ability to hibernate for 100,000 years in order to rendezvous with Nobita in the future.
- Honorable Elephant: Cute, cuddly, bipedal alien elephants.
- The Slow Path: How Mofusuke goes back into the future - 100,000 years later - in order to rendezvous with Nobita.
- Waddling Head: They're essentially a furry elephantine head on two legs.
Villains
Octogon
- Buried Alive: Has an entire colosseum burying it in it's final scene.
- Combat Tentacles: Like every good giant squid monster out there, Octogon uses it's eight tentacles - as thick as train carriages - in an attempt to crush Carla and Nobita.
- Disc-One Final Boss: Is quickly put out of the picture after the second act in order to make way for the true villain, Blizarga.
- Disney Villain Death: Octogon was last seen having a colosseum collapsing on him, thanks to being driven backwards by Gian's singing - magnified by Doraemon's Amplifier Microphone - falling into the water underneath the city as the building crumbles. He's not seen dying onscreen (at least not clearly) and doesn't show up for the rest of the movie.
- Giant Squid: A city-sized tentacled behemoth.
- Kaiju: A colossal squid monster larger than skyscrapers.
- MacGuffin Guardian: It's creators intends for it to guard the Golden Key Sword. Unfortunately Carla needs that sword in order to stop Blizarga's rampage, and Octogon will stop at nothing to recover the sword.
- Meaningful Name: Besides being an octopus (hence his name) the lair Octogon awakes in is also crisscrossed with octagonal patterns.
Yamitem
As Yamitem
As Yamitem!Doraemon, reverting to his original form.
A robotic shapeshifter created to kill everyone who entered the ruins, firstly appearing as a giant bird statue before changing forms into his first target - Doraemon.- Asshole Victim: The gang leaves him to be frozen for all eternity. Twice. And does he deserve it? Definitely.
- Big Bad Wannabe: He tries to be the main villain after capturing Doraemon alive, but he's taken down before Blizarga can even show up.
- Enslaved Tongue: During the Impostor-Exposing Test, Gian and Suneo asks Doraemon and Yamitem!Doraemon to say their names. The real Doraemon was trying to reply first, but Yamitem somehow put a lock on Doraemon's speech.Doraemon: I know! You're G... [suddenly gets his mouth sealed]Yamitem!Doraemon: You're Gian and Suneo! Am I right?
- Eyelid Pull Taunt: Taunts the real Doraemon with this gesture after tricking the others into believing he's their friend.
- Fate Worse than Death: He's frozen solid - in Yamitem!Doraemon form - when Carla fires the Freeze Light at his direction, before being entombed in ice, for the next 100,000 years. And now that he's stuck in a time loop, Yamitem will repeat his fate again 100,000 years later, and later, and later... keep in mind that unlike the Pao Paos who went into hibernation in the cold, Yamitem doesn't display hibernative traits of living things and is likely aware of its surroundings.
- Freeze Ray: Has a freeze-gun built in it's default Yamitem form, which it uses to create ice handcuffs to restrain Doraemon.
- Hate Sink: Yamitem almost effortlessly finds himself an easy target to hate the moment it decides to kidnap and torture Doraemon, mislead the other heroes into a death trap while pretending to be the real deal, manipulate the others into attacking the real Doraemon who's trying to save them and personally trying to kill Nobita first when things doesn't go his way. The other two villains, Octogon and Blizarga, lacks sentience or any decision-making capabilities or enough screen presence to establish their personalities (and being giant monsters, they're already too intimidating to be hated anyway); Yamitem in contrast is quickly made clear to be a manipulative, ruthless, scheming piece of work clearly capable of making choices, who enjoys torturing his victims for his own sadistic amusement.
- Human Popsicle: How he's discovered by Doraemon and gang early on, only to be released and escape immediately. It's also the same state he ends up in when Carla, armed with Doraemon's Freeze Light, points it on him once his identity as an imposter is exposed.
- Impostor-Exposing Test: Went through a brief one when the real Doraemon tries warning everyone about Yamitem. Unfortunately Yamitem have manipulated Doraemon's systems into going haywire, and so the imposter is the one who passes the test.
- Irony: The robot who can enslave victims with his freeze-ray gets sealed in a block of ice. For 100,000 years.
- Kick the Dog: Beating up Doraemon into a pulp? Yeah, sure. Shapeshifting into Doraemon to lure everyone else to a death-trap? Whatever. Pretending to be Doraemon and manipulating the gang into attacking the real deal, who's only trying to save them? NOT COOL.
- Living Statue: A mechanical version created by the ancient civilization of Planet Hyuga Hyuga.
- Lured into a Trap: After defeating and capturing Doraemon, Yamitem disguises himself as Doraemon and rendezvous with the others, with the intentions of tricking them to be skewered by a spiked Descending Ceiling.
- Manipulative Bastard: Poses as Doraemon after having the real one trapped elsewhere, and tricks everyone else to their dooms, and even tries convincing Nobita and gang to attack the real Doraemon when the latter tries saving his friends.
- More Hateable Minor Villain: The main villain is Blizarga, an ancient Eldritch Abomination who cursed entire worlds into an Endless Winter, but being a non-sentient elemental acting on instincts (and that it exists to provide an exciting, 15-minute long final battle) Blizarga's nowhere as hateable as the other villain: Yamitem, the shapeshifting robot psychopath who ambushed and tortures Doraemon, before tricking the others into a deathtrap and trying to manipulate the other heroes into attacking Doraemon when the latter tries saving his friends. Yamitem gets defeated be
- Puppy-Dog Eyes: When Nobita tries telling apart Doraemon and Yamitem!Doraemon by looking into their eyes, Yamitem!Doraemon pulls this stunt off to make himself look cute and trick Nobita. It doesn't work thanks to Nobita's bond with Doraemon.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: When it activates for the first time, it's eyes glows red, and it's one of Doraemon's most cunning, dangerous adversaries.
- Shapeshifting Sound: Emits the sound of cracking ice as it transforms.
- Spot the Imposter: When Yamitem-as-Doraemon tries leading Nobita, Carla and the others into a trap, the real Doraemon shows up and tries to warn everyone else, leading to the heroes trying to identify which is the actual imposter. It's ultimately up to Nobita to spot the faker, and thanks to the long-lasting friendship between Nobita and Doraemon, Nobita managed to correctly identify the Doraemon currently leading the gang is a phony.
- Technopath: Can manipulate machines to his will, if his ability to screw with Doraemon during the imposter test scene is any indication. But Yamitem prefers using these powers to troll his opponents For the Evulz.
- Telepathy: He appears to have some degree of telepathic powers, considering how when he's disguised as Doraemon, he uses his mind to recognize Suneo and Gian and call them by their names.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: An inverted example, his Yamitem form (as a giant bird) is much, much larger than his Doraemon form, yet he can shrink himself to the size of the latter when trying to trick the heroes.
Blizarga
- Achilles' Heel: It's forehead core, a slot which can turn it off for good, after plunging a sword-shaped golden key into it. The golden sword is hidden elsewhere and can be folded into a golden bracelet for ease of carrying, but as luck would have it Carla accidentally drops the bracelet after retrieving it.
- Big Bad: The main threat of Planet Hyuga Hyuga and earth, which the heroes must defeat in the final act.
- Breath Weapon: Breathes frosty beams of cold air that freezes everything it touches.
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Doraemon and friends just defeated an ancient monster that destroyed multiple civilizations, with Nobita carving a passage through it's forehead as Carla stabs the sword into the slot that deactivates it, putting an end to Blizarga's rampage once and for all. And it's awesome.
- Eldritch Abomination: Befitting a planet-destroying monster, he's an eldritch sight to behold.
- Elemental Embodiment: An all-powerful ice elemental.
- Endless Winter: This is the fate of every civilization Blizarga destroys, including the entirety of Planet Hyuga Hyuga.
- Flat Character: It's an ancient eldritch monster who wants to destroy everything in sight, and serves to provide an exciting battle in the climax, but that's pretty much all can be said regarding Blizarga.
- Gone Horribly Wrong: An out-of-control superweapon originally created as a defense system, now on a rampage turning entire worlds into icy wastelands.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: In the final battle, Blizarga's attempts to freeze the heroes is thwarted when Doraemon, using the Obtaining Bag, dumps an entire ocean's worth of freezing-cold water on it. Thanks to Blizarga's subzero body temperature freezing everything it touches, the monster unintentionally froze itself solid, long enough for Nobita to use the Ice-Working Iron on the trapped Blizarga's forehead. Clearing a path to it's forehead core, Carla then plunges the Golden Sword Key into it, finally shutting down Blizarga for good.
- Horns of Villainy: Three of those on it's head, one on either temple and one in the forehead.
- An Ice Person: A living snow monster that breathes ice, freeze everywhere it steps, and wants every world it invades to plunge forever into winter? Yep.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes are glowing red in every scene until it's destroyed.
- Literally Shattered Lives: It breaks into entire sheets of ice after it's forehead core gets destroyed.
- Snowlem: A Version III example, and probably the most violent and horrifying in fiction.
- Walking Wasteland: Everywhere it goes becomes an ice-covered wintry wasteland where the sun will never shine again.
