دورايمون is the Arabic dub of ドラえもん (2005). It aired on Spacetoon starting March 7, 2016 but after the second 2009 episode premiered, the channel stopped airing the series.
Unlike the dub of the 1979 series (produced by the same studio, in 1994), this dub doesn't change the original name of the character, who is known as "Abqour" in his first dub.

Censorship[]
To fit censorship rules, multiple edits have been made to the show. The character Shizuka is a victim to this censorship, often digitally painting her legs to not show skin.
The series suffered from several censorships, removing references to black comedy, dirty jokes, and other jokes, present in the original series. Some chapters were even directly banned. Shizuka is the most affected, since many of her scenes are cut, for exposing her body, even if the exposure is minimal (feet, shoulders, arms).
Below are the episodes, according to their original broadcast in Japan. The numbering does not match the Arabic broadcast, as the episodes were randomly dubbed.
| Episode | Censorship details |
|---|---|
| 2B | The scene where adult Shizuka spanks Nobita was edited to avoid any nudity. |
| 13B | The scene where Nobita takes off Shizuka's skirt was cut. In the rest of the segment they are cut various dialogues, due to jokes with perverted jokes. |
| 38A | In Shizuka's dream, scenes with Nobita's pig were digitally edited to remove (or blur) the pig's nose due to pork being considered haram in Islam. |
| 41A | Shizuka appears in a swimsuit, specifically a bikini, exposing her body and legs. On she, a one-piece swimsuit with leggings is drawn to cover the character's body. In the same segment, the scene where Suneo and Gian strip off was cut due to nudity. |
| 61A | The scene where Nobita enters Shizuka's bathroom is cut, due to the nudity and because it can be construed as a pervert action. Also, Shizuka's voice was replaced with a middle-aged woman's voice when he finishes bathing, to make the audience believe that an woman adult was bathing, and not her. |
| 68B | The scene where Tamako fears that Nobisuke was invisible and Nobita did see him is removed. Also, Nobita's scene is removed due to nudity, and she was replaced by other escene with a colored boxer. Another scene cuts short, where Nobita appears naked and Dorami blushes. |
| 73A | In this episode a red passport appears, which shows the words "Passport of Satan" and a picture of the devil. The scene was digitally retouched to avoid religious references. |
| 85 | BANNED EPISODE |
| 98A-B | BANNED EPISODE |
| 102 | Episode never aired in Spacetoon. The reason is unknown. It's known that it was dubbed since currently it can be easily found on the Internet, and it was broadcast normally on some national channels. |
| 115; 116 | Shizuka wore a villain costume in this chapter, where her shoulders appeared bare. The scene was modified, drawing a pink t-shirt to cover the character's body. |
| 146B | The scene where Shizuka is paralyzed and her legs appear is replaced by a loop of the scene where Nobita is desperate. |
