Listen carefully Watch out

That's right Astro Don't lower your guard

If there is one place to call home in the world,

that would be in your mother's lap.

When Uran Is not watching,

sometimes | get spoiled on my mother's lap.

Dr. Ochanomizu, a parcel for you.

Coming.

A parcel for you.

Can you bring it in?

Heave-ho...

This is not a parcel. It's a container.

It's big, but still we call it a parcel.

Messy... there is a lot inside.

What the-?

A head!

A dismemberment murder! Police!

Blacklux

What's with all this excitement?

Doctor, | heard about the dismemberment murder.

There are dismembered limbs. Over there.

Robots.

Too dismembered to tell what's what.

Who sent them?

Unfortunately, the rain erased the address.

This smells like a crime.

We got mixed pieces for two robots.

I'll put them together. We might learn something.

They're so mixed up I can't tell which goes where.

Can you fix it?

Well, this should do it.

Chief Nakamura, turn on that switch, will you?

Well... This is it, then?

Chief Nakamura...

Quickly. Turn it off.

Is this it? This? That?

Too late now.

It failed.

Are you all right?

It seems the head did not belong to the body.

If this one blows up, it'd be like a small A-bomb.

Chief Nakamura, turn it on.

Dear Lord. Here.

Repaired.

A... U... Ro... Ra...

Lux!

Hey you. Where're you going?

Aurora... Lux...

Wait. Stop there. Stop it.

Stop, or I'll shoot.

Aurora...

Astro, it's me. Come right now.

Aurora... Lux... Lux...

Aurora... Lux...

That must be the robot.

Stop there.

Aurora... Lux...

Stop, will you? I said, stop.

| don't have a choice. Here!

Aurora... Lux...

Aurora... Lux...

Lux... Aurora...

It remembers something from the past and it's repeating it.

Lux... Chief Nakamura, could this robot be...

Blacklux?

Blacklux? What's that Blacklux?

A gang, specializing in robots.

Blacklux appeared for the first time

five years ago in April, at an automobile factory in West Germany.

Halt. Who are you? Are you humans?

Let me make sure... A robot runs this factory, doesn't it?

Yes. In this factory, not only the manager, but all the workers are robots.

I see. Only robots.

No need for mercy then.

Go!

Please, help me.

| have a wife and children.

Begging for mercy like a human, robot?

Find anything that looks valuable!

After that, World Robot Bank in London,

Robot Oil in Texas,

Robot Development Corp in South Africa,

and others have been attacked, and over 800 million dollars stolen.

All the members wear black masks.

Their identity is still unknown.

| see. As you say, this robot may be a victim of those vicious Blacklux.

Lux... Lux... Aurora...

Say "Lux" refers to Blacklux...

What could "Aurora" mean?

Aurora is an electrical phenomenon in the stratosphere...

| learned in school that there's Mt. Aurora at the South Pole.

That must be it. This robot was sent from there.

If we take this robot to the South Pole,

we might find out about Blacklux, but...

Without evidence, for us police to enter another country,

the procedure would be tough.

It's a robot matter. Why don't | bring it over there?

Astro alone would not be reliable enough to find out about Blacklux.

Doctor is too old— No, too busy.

| know a perfect man.

He is reckless and reliable.

| never dreamed the government would pay for my South Pole trip.

Astro, we're lucky.

It's hot. What's going on?

We're crossing the equator, sir.

Equator? Could you turn on the air conditioner?

I'm sorry, | didn't realize you were a human.

You joker, of course I'm a human. | can't stand this steambath.

Sir, all the other passengers are robots.

Get me to the South Pole soon.

South Pole - Penguin Land Airport

Passengers heading for downtown,

there is a bus for your convenience at the main exit.

Hey, robot, take that truck.

- Huh? - Huh?

It's a truck. Don't worry, Astro, take this bus.

Take that one.

Hey, he's paying for his ride. What's wrong with that?

"What's wrong?"

You're a human. Why take sides with a tin doll?

How dare you call him a tin doll. Say it again.

Amusing. Taking sides with robots and picking a fight in Penguin Land.

Please don't, sir.

I'll take that truck.

Astro.

That robot is smarter than you.

I'm taking the truck, too.

Wait a second.

Interesting. You want it?

Idiot! Daddy Mustache, trained in Ko-Do-Kan.

Serves you right.

Come with us.

It was in self-defense. I'll go wherever you like.

Let me go. | can walk on my own.

Sir.

It's self-defense. Don't worry.

Go ahead to Mt. Aurora. I'll catch up with you soon.

Sir...

That mountain...

What's going on, kid?

What is that mountain, sir?

- Mt. Aurora. - | knew it.

If you're going to Mt. Aurora, hop in. I'm going the same way.

You mean it?

You're a robot, sir, aren't you?

How did you know?

"Cause you're kind.

There's no hotel on the mountain. Why don't you stay at my ranch?

Thank you.

So many whales.

Whales are dying off every year.

We run a ranch to protect them and increase their population.

A whale ranch. Wonderful.

Look, that's my house.

A palace of ice. Too cold for humans to live.

Right. We must be thankful that we were born robots.

But | noticed robots are treated badly in the South Pole.

There were no robots here until quite recently.

So humans treat us robots as if we are slaves.

Let me out! Take me to the Chief.

How long are you going to keep me here without interrogation?

That's useless. Stop it. You'll only get tired.

| can't stand this place.

After only a day? I've been here for four years.

You've only told me 50 times. Can't you talk about something else?

Can | tell you about Blacklux?

Tell me. I'll give you a dime.

You won't leave here until you're dead, anyway.

Ask me anything. I'll tell you everything | know.

| have a lot to ask you, but first, why does Blacklux only attack robots?

Good question.

He has a horrible memory from his childhood.

His mother was killed by robots.

By robots? Don't be ridiculous.

| heard it was some brutal murder.

That's why he hates robots.

Who the heck are you?

| was his minion for a while.

Who are Blacklux?

That... even I don't know.

| can't stay here.

| have to escape. Will you help me?

Don't do anything futile. Besides, how?

How...?

Like this. Don't think badly of me.

Someone help! Hurry!

- What's wrong? - Be quiet.

- He fell down. - What?

Open up now.

Car thief! Go after him!

Oops.

What an idiot.

Once lost in this ice field, he'll never come back alive.

No need to chase him now. He'll die on his own.

So that's the story. Anyone seen this robot before?

- Never seen that one. - | don't know.

- It's too messed up. - If its memory circuit is broken...

| knew it wouldn't work... Huh?

A jet has landed.

Huh?

The black masks! The Blacklux.

- Blacklux? - They'll kill us.

They'll kill us all and take everything.

We're no match for them. Everyone, prepare to die.

Come on. Let's fight back.

No way. We've got no chance.

I've got an idea.

Everyone, please go to the top room and wait for my signal.

What do you mean?

We don't have time. Hurry!

All right. Hide, anyway.

- Let's hide. - Wait for me.

Kill them all.

Let's do it.

Where are they hiding?

No use hiding. Come on out.

Nobody's here.

- Not over here. - Not here, either.

Okay. Now.

Everyone, begin.

There, atop the chandelier.

He's flown away.

- What's going on? - It's shaking.

What's going on?

Here! How do you like this?

- Watch out! - Run!

Pull out!

There!

- The jet... - Boss, let's take their car.

You'll pay for this, kid.

Robot Hospital? Come right away. We'll be waiting.

Everyone, they're bad men, but they're humans.

Don't let them die.

What a place to run out of gas.

I'm not freezing to death. I'm going as far as | can.

This is a real blizzard.

Someone has fallen.

Fallen in a blizzard... must be a human.

Help him.

This guy...

Boss, he's the robot kid's friend.

What? How do you know?

We had a run in at the airport. Let's leave him here.

Wait. I've got an idea. Get him inside.

O-Okay.

Now | can have my revenge.

How kind robots are!

We're nurses. It's only natural.

Thank you.

Robot nurses work very hard.

It's all thanks to your training.

Oh? Could that be...?

How did she get here?

Do you know that robot, Doctor?

| brought her here from Japan.

| sent her to Japan.

What?

This robot used to be one of my nurses.

She was compassionate.

She was raising an abandoned human baby, and the baby loved her, too.

But one day there was a historic demonstration

demanding elevation of robot status.

She went to it and never came back.

Recently, | went into town to see a patient,

and | found her smashed pieces at a junk yard.

Unfortunately, around here, robots are considered expendable.

She was too damaged for anyone to repair.

| thought of Dr. Ochanomizu of Japan and sent the pieces to him.

| later found her head and other pieces.

Care to come to my lab?

Yes.

Finally coming to, Mr. Daddy Mustache.

Blacklux... What is this?

Surprised?

This is my treasure house. Hundreds of millions of dollars.

Where did you get all this, you thief?

I'm a thief, but | don't steal from humans.

| took it from robots.

That doesn't make it right. A thief is a thief.

My mother was killed by a robot.

Robots are my enemies. Compared to my mother's life...

Take as much money as you want and help me...

...or die.

Okay. I'll take a fistful.

You're joining me?

Don't underestimate me.

Sorry you ran into the Intrusion Prevention Power Charge.

She's repaired now.

This is Rosaline, who used to be my nurse.

Now the mystery will be solved.

Hello? It's for you, Astro, from Blacklux.

Lux?

You have Daddy Mustache? You coward.

Call me as you please.

If you want him back, come to Seal Valley.

Sorry to tell you but it's time to prepare yourself.

You'll be executed in an unusual way.

Astro will be here soon. The moment he opens the door,

50,000 volts of electric current will run through the chair to fry you.

Darn...

See you.

Daddy Mustache, wait for me.

Daddy Mustache.

Come on out, Blacklux.

I'm here as | promised.

Welcome, Astro. Daddy Mustache Is in the room ahead.

Rescue him if you can.

That door won't open easily.

Don't get provoked, Astro. You open the door, and I'll be charred.

Stop, Astro, don't come in.

This is it.

Here!

Something was funny, so I didn't use the door.

Now I'm saved.

Get Blacklux, Astro.

- Yes. - Don't let him get away.

I've been waiting for you, Astro.

We'll settle this.

Here I come.

There!

Stop!

There!

Got you.

| lost, Astro. | lost.

Then take off your mask.

You do it.

All right.

Huh? You're just...

Ha! What's the surprise?

You should be in junior high school...

I see... Vengeance is a scary thing.

Do whatever you want.

Doctor...

Lux, don't you remember me?

Who are you?

You were too young to remember, but I know you.

Rosaline.

Lux.

No way...

Lux... My boy...

I'm your mother.

Liar! No! My mother died.

You're a fake.

Lux, you forgot my voice? | never forgot you.

| was destroyed and you were left alone.

Destroyed? My mother was a human. She died.

Besides, a human can't be born from a robot.

You were abandoned.

| raised you, without telling you that | was a robot.

It was forbidden for a robot to raise a human child in this country.

| took part in the Robot Demonstration

because | wanted the humans to accept me as your mother.

But the anti-robot humans destroyed me.

Lux, did you hear? Call her your mother.

It's like...

Now | remember... This is my mother's lap.

My mother's...

Mother!

Lux...

If there is one place to call home in the world...

A giant ball burns its way down from space!

When it's rebuilt... wow! What a big, strong robot!

What's your name? Galon?

Seeking to reconstruct everything, he spreads poison gas over the south seas!

The fighters and missiles can't stop him!

Okay, Galon! I'll take you on!

Next time on Astro Boy: Galon The Genie!

Galon The Genie Please look forward to it... Next time on Astro Boy: Galon The Genie!

Next time on Astro Boy:

Galon The Genie Please look forward to it... See you then!

Next time on Astro Boy:

Galon The Genie 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!
