The long-running kids' anime Doraemon is set to receive a crossover with two popular manga and anime series - Attack on Titan and Spy X Family. This will be a huge crossover for the anime, given the popularity of Hajime Isayama's Shingeki no Kyojin and Tatsuya Endo's Spy X Family.

While Shin-Ei Animation is currently producing Doraemon's third iteration, MAPPA is working on the final season of Attack on Titan. Meanwhile, WIT Studio and CloverWorks are busy producing Spy X Family together.


Doraemon teases crossover with Attack on Titan and Spy X Family in a newly released PV

Based on the preview made available by Shin-Ei Animation, Doraemon anime will have a crossover with Attack on Titan and Spy X Family on Saturday, November 12, 2022. The preview revealed that the upcoming episode was set to contain short stories called Shinseki no Kyojin and Suppai x Family. Both of these short stories are based on Attack on Titan and Spy X Family, respectively.

The titles for the short stories are a play on words. Attack on Titan in Japanese is Shingeki no Kyojin, which sounds similar to Shinseki no Kyojin, "shinseki" meaning "relative" in Japanese. Thus, the short story's name directly translates to "the giant in the relatives."

Meanwhile, the second short story is titled Suppai X Family, wherein the word "suppai" sounds similar to "spy." Suppai means bitter or sour in Japanese, indicating that the short story could feature a sour family or one with internal problems.
