Trivia / Doraemon: Nobita's Great Battle of the Mermaid King

Go To

  • Recycled Script: The movie shares multiple similarities to another earlier underwater adventure, Doraemon: Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil from the OG series.
    • Doraemon's Underwater Tent and Underwater Repellent Rope are used in both movies, which contains scenes of underwater camping.
    • The Big Bads of both stories (Poseidon, Bulkin) employs fleets of gigantic, fish-shaped mechas in their armies, used for destroying ships and various underwater worlds, and plots to conquer entire oceans. Also, Bulkin's horned helmet resembles Poseidon's.
    • The gang in the earlier film have to contend with a Giant Squid attacking them until they're rescued by the underwater army of Mu, who electrocutes the squid into unconsciousness. Here, the Giant Squid is replaced by a giant moray eel, who gets electrocuted and shrunken by Haribo and the Aquarian army.
    • Fantastic Racism is shown from underwater folks of both Mu and Aquaria, when the gang are first imprisoned by their supposed saviors, though this one takes things a bit further with them nearly being devoured by a Megalodon shark. And then Eru / Princess Sophia clears things out and have the gang released.
    • Main characters suffering from Almost Out of Oxygen (Gian and Suneo in Undersea, Shizuka in Mermaid) until they're rescued by having the Adaptation Light pointed on them, mere seconds before they drown.
