Damdam's Neck

Yes, this is Ochanomizu.

What is this, so late at night?

What?

All right, don't let anyone near it until | get there.

Hello? Oh, Dr. Ochanomizu.

Astro? No, that won't do.

Human or robot, it's bad to stay up late...

Human or robot, it's bad to stay up late...

This is an emergency! No time to explain!

This is an emergency! No time to explain!

Please just get Astro.

- Oh well. Please wait. - Thanks.

Come on, hurry!

Astro, now listen very carefully to me.

Yes... a head?

Yes, Damdam...

| don't understand humans at all.

They say kids shouldn't stay up late. Then they call up this late.

| understand. Right away!

Astro, where are you going so late at night?

I'm sorry, it's urgent business.

Off | go!

That must be it. Okay!

There he is!

Astro...

! wonder if he handled it all right...

Well, Damdam, are you all right now?

Yes...

You were on your way from Mars

when your rocket had an accident and crashed

and you lost your head in the explosion.

Thus you lost your memory and ability to work,

but we connected you to a spare electronic brain,

so you'll have no difficulty with your daily life.

Thank you.

This is Astro. He helped rescue you from the wreck.

I'm Astro. How do you do?

Thank you for everything.

Your creator, Dr. Maxin, should be coming soon.

Why don't you do some light work and get used to your body.

Yes.

Doctor... Is my head lost?

Well, yes...

Everything in the explosion was blown to smithereens.

Dr. Ochanomizu, | can't believe my head was blown to smithereens.

What do you mean?

| must have been tricked and had my head stolen.

Calm down, Damdam...

Why do you think your head was stolen?

My body was created for space exploration.

| was doing heavy labor on Mars.

An ordinary explosion should not even make a dent.

It is strange that my head blew up while the rest of my body is fine.

But wouldn't you know if your head was stolen?

| rolled out after the explosion and lost consciousness.

My head was stolen then.

You're imagining things.

No! Astro...

When you rescued me, didn't you notice anything?

Ah, well...

Did you see someone suspicious?

Damdam, forget about your old head.

| created a new head for you. Would you try it on?

It's a nice head, Damdam. Look.

No!

| don't want a head like this!

You wouldn't want another's head, Astro.

My head must be somewhere. | just know it.

You are tired. You need rest.

Come on, Astro, let's go home.

| want to see Dr. Ochanomizu. It's unforgivable!

He took a school child out in the middle of the night

and kept him out of school. It's outrageous!

That man...

Mr. Daddy Mustache, please go in.

| know it's hard. Be patient.

This won't do, Doctor, Astro is in primary school.

I've had complaints from his parents.

I'm sorry, Daddy Mustache, | have an explanation...

What? That's terrible.

| haven't said a word yet.

You wouldn't take Astro out for nothing.

Something very interesting must have happened, so I'm here.

So what's the problem?

Dr. Maxin has arrived. He's on his way to your office.

Dr. Maxin!

Long time no see.

Dr. Ochanomizu, give me back Damdam's head.

Dr. Maxin...?

| know all about it, Dr. Ochanomizu.

You have hidden Damdam's head.

You are right, Dr. Maxin.

| hid Damdam's head.

But listen to me, Dr. Maxin.

Damdam's head is too dangerous on the Earth.

Even though he is a planetary work robot,

it's too reckless to outfit him with a neutron beam.

Damdam is not a battle robot. He's for Mars development.

He's a construction robot.

There's no reason to it,

but | feel Damdam's head will cause a catastrophe.

You're just jealous.

You're jealous of Damdam's success on Mars,

so you took advantage of the accident...

Dr. Maxin, | never...

Dr. Ochanomizu, you're just a thief.

Give me Damdam's head now!

Oh well...

Ack! Damdam's head is gone!

What?

Stolen.

That man...

Wasn't Damdam's head stored in a metal case this big?

Yes...?

Darn, that's him. | saw a suspicious-looking character

leaving with a hand-cart at the reception desk. | knew it!

Mr. Daddy Mustache.

Come with me, Astro.

Yes, sir!

Darn it, where did he go?

I know.

Oh no.

! magnified my hearing by 1000, but I don't hear any hand-carts.

He's so fast on his feet.

- Anything, Astro? - Nothing at all.

| hold you responsible for this.

Emergency, Dr. Ochanomizu! It's Damdam...

What happened?

Damdam said he was going to get his head back.

We tried to stop him, but...

Dr. Ochanomizu, this is all your fault.

| won't be responsible for whatever happens.

| don't like that old man!

Dr. Ochanomizu, don't worry.

Damdam or Damn-damn, I'll get his head back.

Stop.

| want your head.

I'm looking for my head. I shall try your head.

Forget it. I'd be broken if | lost my head.

Like it or not, I'm taking it.

Wait!

It doesn't fit. This is not it.

I'm sorry. Get yourself fixed.

This doesn't fit.

This isn't it, either.

Eight robots had their heads severed last night in Tokyo.

The police announced that the culprit is Damdam, a Mars development robot.

This is serious.

If this goes on, you'll be held responsible.

I'm the one who took Damdam's head off.

| am...

A child robot can't take responsibility for this.

Astro is not to blame.

| asked him to take Damdam's head off.

You two caused unnecessary trouble!

| want your head.

Damdam, come with me to the Ministry of Science.

Who are you?

Astro!

I'm not going back. I'm looking for my head.

You'll never find your head this way.

Shut up! If you want to bring me back,

do it by force!

Damdam, | don't want to fight with you.

But if you won't listen to me...

Damdam, run!

If you fight the police here, you'll be destroyed.

So long, Astro.

It's you again. He got away because of you.

Robots are not needed. Go home.

Inspector Tawashi, Astro is doing his best.

Good.

Here, just stolen from the Earth Defense Force warehouse,

the latest laser cannons, ten of them.

What do you say?

- Five! - Three hundred!

- 100,000! - 600,000!

Sold! 600,000!

My old trade secret. ! successfully got in.

Oh, Skunk is here!

Then the rumor that there's some big deal here tonight must be true.

Now for tonight's main attraction!

The head of the notorious head-hunting robot!

Yes! | found it!

With this head attached, Damdam would be a million horsepower robot.

This head itself has a tremendous weapon!

This is interesting.

Maybe | can defeat Astro with this.

It's now at 300,000. 300,000.

- 500,000. - One million!

- Eight million! - Okay, this head is mine.

But for cheap. For free.

There!

This is getting weird, man.

So you're Damdam. Your body does look powerful.

Oops, we didn't come to arrest you.

We've got good news. We'll give you back your head.

My head?

Of course it comes with a few conditions.

Hello? Astro, a call for you.

Coming.

Astro speaking.

Damdam, where are you?

Okay. I'll be right over.

Astro.

Astro, where are you going?

So early in the morning. What a problem child.

Damdam.

What're you doing?

If | defeat you, Skunk will give me back my head.

Even if you defeat me, Skunk won't give you back your head.

He is lying.

| just want my head back.

Damdam, you're so stubborn!

My head!

Watch out!

It's nothing personal.

Boss ordered me to take care of you both while Damdam is preoccupied.

Damdam.

My own head attacked me.

I'm sorry, Damdam, | removed your head.

Dr. Ochanomizu said your head was too dangerous.

He said your head won't do you any good.

But | wouldn't want to have my head taken away.

I'll get it back for you.

- Astro... - So, promise me, Damdam...

You won't be violent after you get your head.

If | get my head back, | have nothing to complain about.

Stay here until | come back.

They went that way.

Fool, you think you defeated Astro by burying him under a mountain?

Not enough?

Of course not! Astro is 100,000 horsepower!

He won't die if you bury him alive.

You...

Daddy Mustache, also known as Shunsaku Ban, private eye.

Been a while, Skunk.

You're a bug flying into a frying pan. Get him!

Oh no! We don't have a chance against it!

Run!

Oh, Astro. Time for schooling. Take this!

Here I come!

Damn!

Here!

Take this!

| got him!

Are you stealing the head again?!

I'm returning it to Damdam. | promised him.

No!

If Damdam puts it on, it'd be a catastrophe!

| know. But | promised,

so I'll bring it to him and talk to him.

Astro...

| don't want to break a promise.

Oh... My head.

Thank you for getting it for me.

Let me try it on. Give it to me.

Damdam, we have to talk.

Don't tease me. Give it to me.

Would you give up this head?

What?

If you put on this head, something bad will happen to you.

It's my head. You say | can't put it on?!

Damdam, please understand.

Let's ask the Doctor to create another head.

Shut up! I'll take it by force!

No, Damdam!

- No, Damdam! - It's my head!

| shouldn't have shown it to him.

I'll get my head no mater what.

You stubborn robot!

Give it back!

Don't! | told you not to!

Stay away!

Stop it, Damdam!

Shut up!

You mustn't!

It's my head.

| said, no!

Stay away!

Leave it alone!

Watch it, Damdam!

Damdam...

I'm sorry, Damdam. I'm sorry.

The head-hunter robot destroyed itself.

Damdam...

A head with a neutron beam... A head...

Astro!

Why did they make a robot like that? Why did the humans...

Why?

Christmas Eve is really fun!

At the National Robot Pavilion they're holding a robot competition!

Light Ray Man is such an amazing robot!

He'll win the Grand Prix prize for sure!

Did you say Skunk put a time bomb inside Light Ray Man?

That's awful! | have to save him!

Next time on Astro Boy: The Light Ray Man!

See you then!

The Light Ray Man Please look forward to it... See you then!

Next time on Astro Boy:

The Light Ray Man Please look forward to it...

Next time on Astro Boy:

My arms and legs are jet boosters that let me fly

Astro Boy! Astro Boy! Mighty Atom!

A machine gun flares from my hips

Astro Boy! Astro Boy! Mighty Atom!

My eyes are searchlights and my hands fire lasers

| have seven super powers!

| fight in the name of peace!

Let's go on a journey together!
