Doraemon: The Record of Nobita's Parallel Visit to the West (ドラえもん のび太のパラレル西遊記 Doraemon: Nobita no Parareru Saiyûki) is the ninth installment of the Doraemon feature films. It is notable for being the only movie to not be based on the manga due to deteriorating health of the author Fujiko F. Fujio, though the screenwriter Ryo Motohira stated that it was Fujiko who came up with the concept of Journey to the West, an ancient Chinese novel, which written by writer Ngo Thua An.

Nobita's misuse of gadgets gives birth to a parallel universe, where monsters from the novel, 'Journey to the West' have invaded the real world!

Plot

Nobita, Gian, Shizuka, and Suneo are preparing for a school play on the "Journey to the West". As they are arguing about who should play the role of the monkey king, Nobita suggested that the real monkey king should play the role. Because the monkey king is only a legend, Nobita and Doraemon have decided to go back in time using the time machine and make a fake one and show Gian, Shizuka, and Suneo to prove that they are right. Unfortunately, Doraemon's machine allowed the fictional monsters to come to the real world and defeated the entire human races, thus turning the future (Nobita's time) into a demon-ruled world. In order to reverse the change, Doraemon and gang needed to return to the past and capture the demons back into the machine. On the way, they have met the real monk and rinrei (a child). At the end, they have either returned the demons back to the machine or destroy them with Dorami's help, thus turning the future back to normal.

Stage

630 years  of the Tang Dynasty ( China )
The time when the real Sanzou Houshi ( Xuanzang ) was traveling to Tianzhu . There should be no Sun Wukong or youkai who appear in " Nishiyuuki ", but the secret tool "Hero Machine" that Doraemon left behind causes youkai such as Gold Horn, Silver Horn, and Bull Demon King to appear, causing great confusion.
