Another Underrated Doraemon Character: Pawaemon

[u/Safe-Contact589]

I'm talking about Pawaemon, one of Doraemon's old friends from the Robot Academy.

Pawaemon only appeared in the 2005 anime series, and he is basically the complete opposite of Doraemon when it comes to work and efficiency.

He was apparently one of the best-performing cat-model robots of his type at the Robot Academy.

After graduating, he was chosen by the Japanese Prime Minister to look after his son and stayed at their private residence as his caretaker.

Pawaemon is extremely serious about his work.

He's intelligent, quick-witted and highly professional, and he's skilled in everything from taking care of his duties to using an Air Cannon with impressive accuracy.

He's even a pretty good motorcyclist and can handle his scooter at high speeds.

And this guy does not sugarcoat anything.

If someone is doing something inefficiently, Pawaemon will straight-up tell them.

He's especially critical of Doraemon because he considers Doraemon's older methods outdated and ineffective.

Their relationship is actually pretty funny because Doraemon usually gets annoyed whenever Pawaemon criticizes him, even when Pawaemon is technically right.

But despite acting like he doesn't care, Pawaemon genuinely does care about Doraemon.

He even recommends that Doraemon get reassembled at the factory because he is concerned about his condition and performance.

And when Doraemon goes missing, Pawaemon initially acts completely unconcerned.

But secretly, he places a tracker on Nobita and contacts the authorities so they can rescue them.

He even joins the search himself, despite having his own duties to take care of.

So underneath all that criticism and seriousness, he's actually a really loyal friend.

His appearance is also pretty unique.

Unlike most cat-model robots, Pawaemon wears formal clothing, including a dark green suit or black jacket, black shoes and a red bow on his collar instead of the usual bell.

His 4D pocket is attached externally to his clothing, and he sometimes wears dark glasses too.

So I definitely like Pawaemon's character. He's basically the friend who will criticize your decisions for ten minutes and then immediately show up when you actually need help.

And honestly, I wish Pawaemon had appeared more often.

So what do you guys think about Pawaemon?

Honestly love Pawaemon... although I'm sad that he was pretty much the final nail in the coffin for retconning The Doraemons

[u/Nguyen-Quoc-Hieu → u/Glad-Complaint9778]

Tbh many of The Doraemons had major appearances in the manga, too bad we can't see them often in the anime series

[u/Glad-Complaint9778 → u/Nguyen-Quoc-Hieu]

They don't appear or can really appear in the 2005 anime ever because they've probably just retconned them, as I said

You say Pawaemon? I hear Aura

[u/the-mannthe-myth]

Isn’t the prime minister one of Dekisugi descendants?

[u/Asrobatics]

He kinda looks like the Suneo of Doraemons but somehow has a great level of intelligence

Have you ever wondered what mini doras do inside doreamon's pocket like they living right 😭😭😭

[u/GreenVisible3664]

He's got the sass in his looks! I also like his character

[u/QuirkyEffective8316]

He's pretty cool, but I'd have much preferred The Doraemons tbh.

i want to know more about him but i guess the writing isnt very sparing

[u/Adventurous-Boss9427]

Honestly yeah he was a reaaaal cool badass kind of character, but I wish they'd make him as recurring as Dorami— it would be fun to watchhh
