Features: Shin-chan is the "" of stressed-out Japanese adult men. He does things that adult men want to do but cannot, and then just says, "I'm just a little kid," to excuse everything. Shin-chan's actions and behavior are hilarious, but there's a hidden sadness behind the laughter. It reflects the stereotypes and helplessness of the Japanese adult world, where adults see their own shamelessness, selfishness, and hypocrisy in Shin-chan. Shin-chan—a five-year-old boy—can't be that capable, right? Yet he has the extraordinary ability to completely overwhelm adults: he shamelessly plays the role of the "Butt Alien"; he drools at pretty girls; when he does something wrong, he tells others, "No need to apologize!"; What's deadly is his bizarre habit of lifting people's skirts—absolutely shocking! His audacity, his mischievousness, both make people laugh uncontrollably and rage with frustration. The school is holding a marathon race, and Shin-chan gets the whole family to practice for it, then they all go to play badminton. What happens next? One day, the top salesperson from a children's goods company, Kakuma, tries to sell products to Shin-chan, but Shin-chan completely humbles him. Still not giving up, Kakuma decides to take revenge on Shin-chan and attacks him again. Will he succeed?
