### Story
The plot is framed by a prophecy left by Nustradamus, a man who claims to be the reincarnation of a figure who lived in the town next to Nostradamus's: in the year when 20 and 23 stand side by side, two lights will fall from the sky, one a dark light that will gain mighty power and throw the world into chaos, the other a small white light.[1](https://shinchan-movie.com/2023/)
In 2023 the two lights approach the Japanese archipelago and descend on an ordinary house in [Kasukabe](https://www.edgepedia.org/kasukabe), Saitama Prefecture. The white light strikes the five-year-old Shinnosuke "Shin-chan" Nohara while he waits for dinner, filling his body with a mysterious power; when he concentrates it in his buttocks, toys float in the air, and the esper [Shin-chan](https://www.edgepedia.org/shin-chan) is born.[3](https://shin-ei-animation.jp/works/movie_shinchan_2023/) • [1](https://shinchan-movie.com/2023/) The dark light strikes a man named Mitsuru Hiriya, whose part-time jobs have failed, whose favorite idol has married, and who has been mistaken for an assailant and chased by the police; gaining power, he vows revenge on the world and seeks its destruction.[1](https://shinchan-movie.com/2023/) The film builds to a battle between the dark esper and Shin-chan, who flies hand-rolled sushi with his powers, fought across space in every direction.[3](https://shin-ei-animation.jp/works/movie_shinchan_2023/) • [1](https://shinchan-movie.com/2023/)

The film was announced in December 2022 as the 2023 summer entry of the *Crayon Shin-chan* movie series, with the 3DCG animation handled by Shirogumi, the CG studio known for *Shin Godzilla* and *Stand by Me Doraemon*, and Hitoshi Ōne making his debut as an animation director.[7](https://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/shinchan/news/0156/index.html) The official site describes a seven-year production period and presents the film as a spectacle version of the series with comedy, emotion, and family love.[1](https://shinchan-movie.com/2023/) Production companies included Shin-Ei Animation, TV Asahi, ADK, and Futabasha, with the film produced by the New Dimension Crayon Shin-chan Production Committee.[8](https://www.scifijapan.com/articles/shin-chan-movie-2023) ADK Marketing Solutions and ADK Emotions ran a joint promotional campaign with the production committee to mark the August 4 release.[9](https://www.adkms.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/ADK_News_Release_%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AC%E3%83%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%81%97%E3%82%93%E3%81%A1%E3%82%83%E3%82%93%E5%85%B1%E5%90%8C%E4%BC%81%E7%94%BB_20230728_FIX.pdf)

## Reception and box office
In Japan the film earned 2.47 billion yen, ranking 14th among the 2023 releases that passed 1 billion yen in the Eiren year-end tally.[5](https://www.eiren.org/toukei/img/eiren_kosyu/data_2023.pdf) In China, where it opened on November 25, 2023, it grossed 119 million yuan, placing it among the top-earning Japanese films released there that year.[6](https://www.jetro.go.jp/ext_images/jetro/overseas/cn_shanghai/report/202407_contents.pdf) On the review aggregator Kinenote it held an average score of 65.0 points from more than 120 users.[4](https://www.kinenote.com/main/public/cinema/detail.aspx?cinema_id=97859)
Commentary in the Japanese press read the film as carrying more social criticism than a typical entry in the series: Pen Online described it as weaving social problems dating from the 1990s onward into the *Crayon Shin-chan* format, noting that Ōne had won the Japan Academy Prize for Excellence in Directing and the Japan Film Critics Award for *Bakuman.*.[10](https://www.pen-online.jp/article/013910.html) The film is available for streaming on Netflix in Japan, listed as a family action anime.[11](https://www.netflix.com/jp/title/81729645)
