Plot
editA young girl attempts to infiltrate the World Human Research Center in search of something called "Megahegaderu 2" before being informed that a "Spare Key" is required to retrieve Megahegaderu 2.
While playing, Shin-chan is met by a young girl named Lemon Sunomono (the girl from before) who reveals herself to be a spy. She explains to Shin-chan that Action Mask (Shin-chan's idol) is recruiting children as spies and that he and her have been chosen to carry out an important mission for Action Mask that involves retrieving an important capsule from an evil doctor. Lemon then begins training Shin-chan, during these sessions she is contacted by her mother Lime through a device where they refer Shin-chan to as "Spare Key".
During Shin-chan's training, his friends: Kazama, Nene, Masao and Bo believe that Lemon is a recruiter for a TV Show which Shin-chan has been cast in. They are suddenly attacked by the evil doctor's men and with Shin-chan's friends' help (due to their belief), Lemon is able to tackle the men back. As Lemon's escort (a 20-year old woman) drives the two to Shin-chan's house. En route, Lemon tells Shin-chan that he can get to meet Action Mask if he succeeds in his mission. During dinner, Lemon explains to Shin-chan's parents (Hiroshi & Misae) that her parents are government officials and have a strict nature. All of that is true, except for the fact that her parents are actually spies that work for a secret organization. Through her communication device, Lemon sends the signal to her mother as a sleep-inducing gas is released in the house (by the members of the secret organization Lime works for) and the entire Nohara family falls asleep due to it.
Shin-chan awakens in a huge balloon aeroplane where Lemon displays a short video to Shin-chan. In it, Action Mask explains Shin-chan that the evil doctor's organization is celebrating its anniversary and that tonight would be the perfect opportunity to retrieve the capsule. He also promises Shin-chan a party if he succeeds in his mission. Lemon and Shin-chan wear a disguise and infiltrate the facility. After several roadblocks, Lemon tells Shin-chan that his and the doctor's body is extremely similar, and that only he can enter the doctor's laboratory since the doctor set his body as a key to enter.
Shin-chan passes through a hallway filled with lasers, he then finally arrives at the doctor's lab and is ultimately greeted by the "evil" doctor who introduces himself as Dr. Hegaderu. He explains to Shin-chan that he once intended to create a food item that would decrease the amount of gas released by humans (in order to prevent global warming). He wanted to name that food item "Megahegaderu" but accidentally created a food item that greatly increases the amount of gas released by humans and named it "Megahegaderu 2". Since then, he had been debating on whether to keep it for research purposes or destroy it. This was the "capsule" Shin-chan was told to retrieve and the doctor further explains that all that has been told to him is a lie. Despite this explanation, Shin-chan steals Megahegaderu 2, insisting on not believing in the doctor's words.
Shin-chan meets up with Lemon as the two escape. In the truck, Lemon tells Shin-chan that he can finally meet Action Mask. The next morning, Lemon, Shin-chan, Lime and Plum (Lemon's parents) head towards the secret organization (Herebu located in Herebu kingdom) Lime and Plum work for. The organization is led by twin sisters Narao and Yosuru who are delighted at the sight of Megahegaderu 2. Shin-chan is then introduced to the Action Mask he talked to in the video which turns out to be a fake version. Narao and Yosuru reveal that Action Mask's involvement was just to trick Shin-chan into stealing the Megahegaderu 2. Everything that Dr. Hegaderu said was true. The only reason they needed him was due to his unique physical resembelence to Dr. Hegaderu, making him a "Spare Key" to enter Dr. Hegaderu's laboratory. Shin-chan is then taken away along with the rest of his family into a special chamber where they are fed the Megahegaderu 2. It causes them to release a huge amount of gas that gets stored in large tanks.
Narao and Yosuru reveal their intention of filling the entire world with stench, since they were also once ostracized for releasing gas. While the two twins along with Lime and Plum are celebrating, Lemon is devastated and guilt-ridden for betraying Shin-chan like that. So that night, she steals the Megahegaderu 2 and frees the Nohara family and tells them to run away. Shin-chan however leaves and goes to protect Lemon from her parents' rage while his family operate the vehicle they are sitting in to rescue Shin-chan.
Shin-chan and Lemon change the settings of the missiles filled with gas so that they will land in the ocean instead of in the countries. Shin-chan and Lemon (along with the Megahegaderu 2) evade Herebu forces for as long as they can. Along the way, they throw a piece of the Megahegaderu 2 in Narao and Yosuru's mouths as Shin-chan's parents intervene the scene (in the operating vehicle) allowing Shin-chan and Lemon to escape. They then eventually decide to eat the remaining Megahegaderu 2, believing it to be the only way to stop Narao and Yosuru's plan. Megahegaderu 2 causes their stomachs then swell up to the size of a gigantic balloon before exploding and letting out a gigantic wave of gas that destroys the facility. Narao and Yosuru meet a similar fate.
Misae & Hiroshi rescue Shin-chan as Lime & Plum rescue Lemon. While Misae & Hiroshi are overjoyed with Shin-chan's safety, Lime & Plum apologize to Lemon, promising to prioritize her needs above all else's. Shin-chan and Lemon bid farewell as Shin-chan and his family return to Kasukabe, Lemon and her family plan to start a new life outside Herebu.
