Doraemon, le chat cosmique
Créé en 1969 par le mangaka japonais Fujiko F. Fujio, Doraemon est un chat robotique envoyé depuis le XXIIe siècle dans le Japon des années 1970. Sa mission est d'aider un enfant, Nobita, dont la vie est vouée à l’échec. Nobita est un anti-héros absolu - paresseux, maladroit, en échec scolaire, incapable de s’intégrer dans les dynamiques sociales de son âge. C’est précisément cette faiblesse qui motive l’intervention du futur : ses descendants, confrontés aux conséquences de ses erreurs, décident d’envoyer Doraemon dans le passé afin de modifier le cours des choses.
Doraemon possède une poche “quadridimensionnelle”, sorte de réservoir infini contenant des gadgets venus du futur. Ces objets constituent le véritable cœur de la série.
Chaque gadget repose sur une idée unique, souvent d’une grande simplicité conceptuelle, mais poussée jusqu’à ses conséquences les plus absurdes. Une porte permet de se rendre instantanément n’importe où. Un tissu peut faire vieillir ou rajeunir un objet. Un morceau de pain permet de mémoriser n’importe quelle information en le mangeant. Un petit hélicoptère posé sur la tête permet de voler. Une machine permet de stocker du temps comme une ressource. Chaque objet est une réponse immédiate à un désir humain, une matérialisation directe d’un fantasme.
Contrairement à une science-fiction occidentale souvent soucieuse d’explication et de plausibilité, Doraemon ne cherche jamais à justifier techniquement ses inventions. Les gadgets ne sont pas là pour être compris, mais pour être utilisés et leur fonctionnement importe moins que les situations qu’ils rendent possibles.
Mais cette logique produit systématiquement des effets inattendus. Nobita, incapable de maîtriser les conséquences de ce qu’il utilise, détourne les gadgets pour résoudre des problèmes immédiats — réussir un test, éviter une punition, impressionner ses amis — et provoque presque toujours des catastrophes. Chaque invention promet une résolution instantanée, mais finit par produire de nouvelles complications.

Creates a black hole or white hole, depending upon what pen is used. The purpose of these pens is to help users avoid carrying heavy loads and getting exhausted over a long distance by storing the loads in the black hole and retrieving them to their destination through the white hole afterward.
The Blackhole Pen and Whitehole Pen are based on two astronomical phenomena, black holes and white holes, respectively; hence their names. A black hole sucks in anything close to it with its massive gravitational force, whereas a white hole pushes anything away from it, essentially the opposite of a black hole. Unlike black holes, white holes remain a theoretical concept in physics. The Blackhole Pen and Whitehole Pen practically harness the same gravitational power.
This gadget can lock any object using one of the user's body parts as a lock. It's similar to fingerprint authentication.

Just say the name of a person or group of people that you want to see to the microphone. They will automatically be teleported and appear on the plates of the conveyor belt. Then you can see them for a limited time. A user can do it 10 times, and after that, the gadget will be useless.
When calling the person or group of people, the users have to be specific as possible to prevent a full list of people with the same name or from the same place from coming out. They will have to push the cancel button to end the list. When the person or group of people are called, their appearance the moment before they are called will be reflected on the conveyor belt (for example, Uncle Heisuke is in the middle of changing his clothes before he was called the first time). While users may deliver items to the person or group of people or receive items from them, they cannot pull them out from the conveyor belt.
Doraemon bought the gadget during the promotional period, and hence there was an extra call, making the maximum number of calls allowed to 11 (Normally, during the promotional period, if you buy 10 bentos of sushi, you get another one free).
To use the Copying Toast, one should press one side of the toast on a book with either text or pictures. The text or picture will then be 'printed' (in the bread's case, 'stuck onto it') on the toast. Eating the toast later will allow the eater to remember whatever content has been printed on the toast.
The user will forget the content (if they never did memorize it normally) if the toasts are expelled from their system. Like how Nobita had a stomach ache and had to 'expel' them into the toilet, he forgets everything printed on the toasts.
Anyone who uses these gloves will become an expert at making any craft. Even though the person does not have the skills or talent to make it.
