Plot edit

In the film "Crayon Shin-chan: Fierceness That Invites Storm! The Hero of Kinpoko," the story unfolds with the young protagonist, Shinnosuke (Shinchan), persuading his mother to buy him an ultra hero sword. Unbeknownst to them, the sword is linked to an ancient prophecy and soon leads to a series of unusual events in Shinchan's life.

The narrative further introduces the antagonist, the Dark Lord of the Don Kurai Dark World, who has ambitions to conquer the human world. The film incorporates a dark legend surrounding a "Hero" tasked with vanquishing darkness, known as Uchiharau, and mentions "three treasures"—one of which, the "tak of copper,” has already been stolen. A knowledgeable individual, aware of the Dark Lord's schemes, is dispatched to the human world in search of the remaining two treasures: "the shield of silver" and the "golden sword."

Meanwhile, Shinnosuke purchases an "Action Sword," a new toy from his favorite superhero, Action Kamen, from a department store. However, upon opening the box at home, he discovers it contains a mispackaged action Sword ruler instead. Around the same time, Shinchan finds a black dog resembling his pet Shiro and names it Kuro.

That evening, Shinchan encounters a mysterious woman searching for Puririn in his house. Unaware of her true intentions, he follows her outside, intrigued by her presence. It's later revealed that Puririn are dark men sent by the Dark Lord, and Shinchan inadvertently helps them open a portal connecting the human world to Don Kurai.

The following day, darkness invades the human world, and the portal Shinchan opened disappears. His hometown experiences various calamities due to this darkness. Concurrently, Shinchan meets Tami Mata, a girl who informs him about the "Golden Sword," a hero destined to protect him. Shinchan resolves to combat the darkness alongside Mata. However, it's revealed that Mata's appearance is a ruse set by Puririn. Later that night, Shinchan encounters a man urging him to sign an agreement, which he refuses.
