Crayon Shin-chan: The Hero of Kinpoko and the Storm-Calling Fierceness (Japanese: クレヨンしんちゃん ちょー嵐を呼ぶ 金矛の勇者) is a 2008 animated feature and marks the 16th film in the Crayon Shin-Chan franchise. Created by Shin-Ei Animation, this 93-minute movie earned close to 1.2 billion yen within Japan after its theatrical debut on April 19, 2008.
Plot
The narrative centers on Shinnosuke (Shinchan), who persuades his mother to purchase an Action Kamen sword connected to an ancient prophecy. This act sets off a sequence of events involving the Dark Lord from the Don Kurai Dark World, whose goal is to dominate humanity. The legend at the heart of the story speaks of a "Hero" destined to vanquish evil, accompanied by three sacred relics—one of which, the "tak of copper," has already been taken. An expert is dispatched to recover the remaining artifacts: the "shield of silver" and the "golden sword."
After acquiring an Action Sword toy, Shinchan discovers that it contains a ruler instead due to a packaging error. He also encounters a black dog named Kuro, who bears a striking resemblance to his pet Shiro. Later that evening, a mysterious woman searching for Puririn—dark creatures serving the Dark Lord—arrives at his residence. Unwittingly, Shinchan assists them in opening a gateway between worlds.
Subsequently, darkness begins to engulf his hometown as the portal closes. Shinchan meets Tami Mata, who reveals that he is protected by the "Golden Sword" hero. Determined to combat the spreading darkness alongside Mata, Shinchan soon uncovers that her identity is a ruse orchestrated by Puririn. He also declines to sign a contract proposed by an enigmatic man he encounters later that night.
