, also referred to as Shin Chan, The Spy, is the 19th film installment from 2011 based on the well-known Crayon Shin-chan manga and anime franchise. Created by Shin-Ei Animation, the same studio responsible for the television adaptation, it premiered in Japanese theaters on April 16, 2011.
Plot
Lemon Sunomono, a young girl, covertly enters the World Human Research Center in search of "Megahegaderu 2," which can only be accessed using a "Spare Key." She informs Shin-chan that his hero, Action Mask, is recruiting child agents for a mission to retrieve a capsule from an evil scientist. Lemon takes on the role of Shin-chan’s mentor while her mother Lime communicates remotely, referring to Shin-chan as the "Spare Key."
Shin-chan’s friends mistakenly assume Lemon is a talent scout for a TV show and assist her when henchmen of the villain launch an attack. Lemon discloses that her parents are government operatives secretly working as spies within a clandestine organization. After a sleep-inducing gas incapacitates Shin-chan’s family, he awakens aboard a balloon aircraft where Action Mask urges him to secure the capsule during the antagonist’s anniversary celebration.
In disguise, Shin-chan and Lemon infiltrate the laboratory. Due to his uncanny resemblance to Dr. Hegaderu, Shin-chan gains entry to the facility where the doctor confesses he inadvertently developed Megahegaderu 2—a compound that amplifies human flatulence—originally intended to suppress it and help mitigate global warming. Despite this revelation, Shin-chan manages to seize the capsule.
Reuniting with Lemon, they proceed to the Herebu kingdom where her parents lead a secret espionage group. The organization reveals that Action Mask’s involvement was a deception designed to exploit Shin-chan’s likeness for theft purposes. Megahegaderu 2 is then used to fill tanks with gas produced by Shin-chan’s family after consuming it.
The leadership plans to unleash this stench worldwide as retribution for past marginalization. Overcome with remorse, Lemon steals Megahegaderu 2 to liberate the Nohara family. Shin-chan remains behind to protect her while his family pilots their escape vehicle.
They modify missiles loaded with gas to target oceans instead of landmasses and evade pursuit by Herebu forces. Ultimately, they ingest Megahegaderu 2 themselves to sabotage the scheme and overwhelm their adversaries by forcing them to consume it as well. This triggers excessive gas emissions that demolish the villainous base.
The antagonists concede defeat while Lemon and the Nohara family are rescued. Lime and Plum apologize to Lemon and vow to prioritize her well-being. The story concludes with Shin-chan returning home as Lemon’s family prepares for a new life away from Herebu.
