The narrative begins when Nobita, feeling overwhelmed by school pressure and his mother's nagging, envies Gian and Suneo for owning advanced remote-controlled hobby robots. Desperate to join them, he begs Doraemon for help. When Doraemon refuses, a frustrated Nobita throws a tantrum and uses the "Take-Copter" to fly up into the clouds. There, in a mysterious atmospheric inversion layer, heavy, metallic sphere-like parts literally fall from the sky. Intrigued and sensing a grand adventure, Nobita collects the bizarre, heavy components and uses the "Billion-Year-Old Spade" and "Hole-Making Core" to secretly assemble the massive parts in the Mirror World, a
parallel dimension accessed through a special mirror where no humans live.Soon, an enigmatic, injured young girl named Riruru appears, claiming the giant robot, Zanda Cross, belongs to her. Nobita and Doraemon initially befriend Riruru, unaware of her true identity as a scout for the robotic planet of Meccha. Riruru’s ultimate motivation is to conquer Earth and enslave humanity, utilizing the Mirror World to construct a colossal invasion army of killer robots without the real world's knowledge. However, as Riruru spends more time interacting with Nobita, Doraemon, and Shizuka, she experiences a profound emotional conflict. She begins to question her programmed imperative to destroy mankind, touched by the genuine kindness, empathy, and friendship shown to her by Shizuka, who constantly nurses her back to health.The dramatic climax unfolds when the giant robotic army, led by Commander General Tagude, pours through the dimensional portal into the Mirror World, intending to launch their assault on the real Earth. A desperate battle ensues as Nobita, Doraemon, and their friends rally to defend humanity. They are aided by Pippo, a small, bird-like support robot originally paired with Zanda Cross who also developed a soul and rejected his destructive programming through his bond with Nobita. Pippo’s unwavering loyalty and bravery inspire the group to fight against seemingly impossible odds.
The turning point arrives when Riruru fully redeems herself. Recognizing the precious value of life, she uses a time-paradox device to alter history, effectively erasing the robotic civilization's original creators and dissolving the invading army into nothingness. In doing so, Riruru and Pippo sacrifice their own physical existences, fading away into sparkling light. The story concludes on a bittersweet emotional note in the real world; Nobita returns to his normal, peaceful daily life, forever changed by the profound sacrifice of his extraterrestrial friends, and occasionally looking up at the sky, believing he can still catch a fleeting glimpse of the winged angels who saved humanity.
