Thank you very much for taking our tour of the Sunshine Islands.

We will soon arrive at the highlight of the tour,

the rumored habitat of man-eating bees

Bee Island.

There it is, Brother.

| hear the entire island is a beautiful flower garden.

What if the man-eating bees attack us?

That's a lie!

There can't be man-eating bees.

What's the deal with him?

Any passengers landing on the island,

please wear the protective suits

and never stray from the designated area.

Dad is on the island.

The Secret of Bee City

Never remove your protective suits until we're inside the observation tower.

It's like we're in outer space.

Unlike us, humans can be stung by the bees.

Brother, where are the man-eating bees?

- Beautiful. - The whole island is a flower garden.

Originally this island was known for its rare flowers.

Dr. "Honey Field" Mitsuda, an electrobiologist,

was developing the entire island as a honey farm,

but he suddenly disappeared about two years ago.

Dad must be alive!

Since then, many people who have landed on the island were reported missing.

Eventually giving birth to the rumor that man-eating bees inhabit the island.

Wow! Wow!

Where are you going, Uran?

I've always wanted to sleep on a flower bed.

Sooo nice!

Uran, let's go back.

Just a bit longer.

Look, that kid couldn't just watch either.

Hey, it's dangerous to take off your protective suit.

Something seems wrong.

Hey, wait a minute.

Why are you running away?

Why do you stand in my way?

Standing in your way? | was just...

| won't leave this island until | find my dad.

Your dad?

So he's gone missing on this island?

My dad is Dr. Mitsuda.

| see.

So you came to the island to find the missing scientist.

He's crying.

I'll find my dad.

Look, Brother, a bee swarm!

These are not ordinary bees.

It looks like they are watching us.

Watch out!

Stop it. Take this!

There!

How do you like this?

Finally, they are gone.

Look, Brother.

What a huge swarm of bees.

Let's run.

Let's hide in there.

We're safe now.

- What is this place? - | don't know.

Someone's here.

A robot...

Hello. Welcome.

You're RP-3.

- Huh? - What?

That voice...

You forgot? You were Dad's research assistant.

This robot was?

Dad took him here.

| am Dr. Mitsuda’'s assistant.

You have the same voice as Mitsuru, Dr. Mitsuda's son,

but your size and weight are different.

You haven't seen me in three years. I've grown.

Grown?

Humans get bigger over years.

Just like flowers.

He doesn't seem like a very high quality robot.

This must be the doctor's lab.

So what happened to Dr. Mitsuda?

He went out. | am waiting.

What happened, | do not know.

It's been over two years. Haven't you looked for him?

He told me to wait. | am waiting.

What's wrong, Mitsuru?

| feel like | have a fever.

The bee poison must have passed into your whole body.

A sick child. A good child stays in bed.

He does seem to work in some ways.

Mitsuru. Get well soon.

Time to charge my energy.

Has he been recharging his energy and waiting for over two years?

Probably.

What will you do, Brother?

We'll take him to the hospital after it gets dark.

| hear the bees do not move at night.

Where are you, Dad?

- I'm back. - How is it?

It's safe now. The swarm of bees is gone.

How is Mitsuru?

| just checked. He's asleep in bed now.

Good. Let's get ready to carry him.

What's he doing?

He said, "Preparing dinner for the doctor."

Every night? For the last two years?

Dad... Dad...

Hey, RP-3.

Why don't you come with us?

| am waiting. Dr. Mitsuda told me to wait.

Brother, Mitsuru is gone.

What?!

- But why? - Is he well now?

Mitsuru must have left through the window.

Let's go look for him.

Mitsuru! Mitsuru!

How beautiful. I've never seen a flower garden at night.

No good. Search seriously.

Aren't you the "I'm waiting” type?

I'm waiting for Dr. Mitsuda. Mitsuru is waiting for his dad.

We wait together.

Okay.

Mitsuru!

Brother.

- Come on! - Yeah...

Here!

Huh?

There's a town underground.

An underground city.

That looks like something.

Yes. A hive.

| see. It does look like a bee hive.

Where has Mitsuru gone?

Huh?

Someone's coming this way. Why don't we ask?

No!

It doesn't sound right.

It looks like that bee controls them.

That is not a bee.

Its buzzing sound, zero organic reading.

So it's a bee-shaped robot.

They spotted us.

How dare you? There!

The ground entrance surveillance camera spotted them.

Once you wander into my Bee City, you will not leave alive.

Guard robots, go.

Go away!

What are you doing? Help me.

| am a research assistant robot. Fighting is not my job.

Now isn't the time to talk about that.

Huh?

Whatever it is, it's a big one!

Here comes another one.

Darn, we're trapped.

Danger 100%.

Leave them to me. Run, both of you.

But...

Hurry!

Come on. Hurry!

Okay. I'll take you both.

Here!

Okay. Only one left.

There.

Oops. My energy...

- Brother... - Danger, danger.

Brother, Brother...

Are you Astro, the robot I've heard about?

Who are you?

Me?

| am the commander of this underground city, Bee City.

Soon | will be the commander of the whole world.

What?

Starting from this island, | will build my bee empire.

A bee empire? You can't be serious.

| can't? But you saw yourself what happens to humans poisoned by my bees.

Once stung by my army bees,

humans will be slaves to the queen bee, Queen Mary.

Queen Mary?

Astro, you will be operated on for modification

and become a soldier to serve Queen Mary.

I will not!

You can talk tough now.

Once you feel Queen Mary's great power, inevitably, you will kneel before her.

Darn...

Danger. Danger increasing.

Quit saying that. We must save my brother.

Are you running away?

A swarm of bees ahead. Caring for them is my job.

Huh?

Forget the bees. Help me find my brother.

My job is to care for bees.

Enough!

Someone's coming.

A swarm of bees in that room.

Your majesty, Queen Mary.

Is everything going as planned?

Yes. Soon our swarms of bees will be ready to attack the whole world.

Build the empire of bees without delay.

We certainly will.

Danger. That queen bee is dangerous.

Astro. We will operate on you for modification.

Then you will lead our honorable bee army on its world domination campaign.

| won't let you.

| shall tell you, Astro...

This is the secret of our bee poison.

This is a special micro antenna.

This will help you receive Queen Mary's hypnotizing radiowave.

Hypnotizing radiowave?

Once stung with this,

humans will do whatever the queen wishes.

A robot needs an operation,

and this has to be implanted in his electronic brain.

Now | see.

With this, you will be one of the queen's slaves.

- Take him to the operating room. - Yes, sir.

Hi-yah! Take that!

Uran.

Away you go! Brother.

Darn... Where was she?

Guard squad. Do not let Astro get away.

Hurry. Someone's coming. More danger.

My brother needs an energy capsule.

| keep this for when I run out. | don't want to give it up.

How stingy. Don't worry. I'll carry you.

So give it to me now.

Okay. Now they can't stop me.

Leave them to me. You two go help Mitsuru.

Here!

There!

There!

Oops!

Not the same technique again.

How about this?

There!

There he is. Okay.

Who's there?

Here!

Mitsuru, come on.

| got him.

Removing stingers is my job.

He does seem good at that.

How dare you!

Dad!

It's me.

Dr. Mitsuda, | have been waiting for you.

Dad, it's me.

| don't know you.

Watch out!

Why, Dad?

Maybe your dad also...

| knew it!

There!

Dad!

Dad.

It's me.

Mitsuru...

Dad!

It's wonderful, Brother.

Dr. Mitsuda too was one of the slaves.

Huh?

You must be the queen bee, Queen Mary.

| am the queen.

Anyone who disobeys me, will die.

Run, everybody.

Come on, I'll take you on.

Futile.

You can't fight me. Nobody can.

Yes, you are Astro. My slave.

Darn... So this is the hypnotizing radiowave...

Yes. You shall kneel before me.

Brother...

| will not lose to this one!

Here!

- Brother! - Uran!

Are you all right? How dare you do this to my brother?

Uran...

Stop it!

It is futile no matter how many times you try.

Queen Mary, prepare to die.

Who do you think you are?

Now!

Here!

Without your hypnotizing radiowave, you're nothing.

- Astro! - There!

I'm responsible for all this.

| created that queen bee with my electrobiology research

to increase the honey bee's productivity.

My plan worked and the bees under the queen's command

showed unnatural productivity.

But the queen bee's hypnotizing radiowave was so strong

that it hypnotized human brains too.

And you were the first victim.

| rejected the natural lifeforce

and tried to manipulate insects with their own life.

| was foolish.

Don't worry. It's an ordinary honey bee.

There are still bees on the island

that were not controlled by the robot queen bee.

All right. | shall start over.

Visit us again, Astro. We'll have some delicious honey.

| will come again.

Me too. Wait for me, RP-3. Here.

| will be waiting. Waiting is my job.

- Goodbye! - Goodbye!

Goodbye!

The Clarken area, full of golden coral.

Pipi works in the undersea pastures, and can talk to fish!

But the terrible pirate Gold Triangle comes to disrupt the peaceful pastures!

You stupid things!

But a giant monster that surprises even Gold Triangle appears!

What could the monster be?

The Monster of Clarken Please look forward to it... Next time on Astro Boy: The Monster of Clarken!

Next time on Astro Boy:

The Monster of Clarken Please look forward to it... See you then!

Next time on Astro Boy:

The Monster of Clarken 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!
