Trivia[]
- Unlike the European Spanish dub, the series logo was translated under the name Doraemon, el gato cósmico, instead of narrator speaking the Spanish name after the untranslated Japanese series logo appears.
- However, in the second European Spanish dub, the Latin American Spanish logo was used instead.
- When the Latin American Spanish dub of the series ended, a few Latin American users began sharing several European Spanish dubbed episodes, claiming it as the former dub.
