ASTRO

Far beyond the sky Far into the stars

Let's go Astro As far as your jet rockets will take you

He is kind A boy made from science

He has 100,000 horsepower! Astro Boy!

Listen carefully Watch out

That's right Astro Don't lower your guard

He Is righteous A boy made from science

You have seven super powers Astro Boy!

And so naturally, the answer is—

Look, it's snowing.

Quiet! Shut up!

Sir, it is snowing.

Don't be silly.

It's too early for snow. Use common sense.

But, look, sir, it really is snowing.

Astro, even you're playing jokes on me?

Just because strange weather is a popular subject,

you can't fool me that it's snowing in Tokyo in October...

Wha?

What the heck is going on? It's just not right.

Mom, snow. It's snowing.

Snow in this season? That's strange.

Take this. Here!

Uran looks so happy.

| feel funny...

Uran, what's wrong?

Strange... I'm sure she has some energy left.

Huh? What's wrong with me?

I'm so weak.

What's wrong, dear?

The Snow Leopard

Snow! Snow!

Astro, come play with us.

Yes!

Astro, you must stay inside.

Why is that, sir?

Here!

It seems that this is no ordinary snow.

What?

The out-of-season snow has surprising effects

as robots who touch this snow lose their energy and shut down.

The Ministry of Science says that this snow Is not crystallized water,

but composed of peculiar material.

Investigation is under way.

Listen, Astro.

Until this funny snow mystery is solved,

don't come to school. Stay put in your house.

Don't go outside.

What? Broken? What a lemon-

Huh? The energy meter reads zero.

Sir, look.

The snow has sucked energy from all the cars.

Astro, you can't stay here all day. Why don't you fly back home?

| carry an umbrella all the time. It's better than nothing.

Thank you, sir.

- Be careful. - | will.

I'm home.

Astro, so you were safe.

And Mom and Uran?

They fainted in the garden. I'm giving them new energy capsules.

Hmmm... Ahbh...

Astro, not you too.

Now you'll be fine.

Brother, phone call from Dr. Ochanomizu.

Astro, it's a disaster. The snow is absorbing electricity.

What?

For now, the video phone circuit is safe.

I'm afraid all of Tokyo will be paralyzed soon.

Come to the Ministry right away. Take the underground monorail.

Yes.

- What's this? - A snowflake.

But it's moving.

This is what's snowing.

It looks like snow, but each snowflake is an organism.

Living snow?

They're amoeba-like organisms and I'm afraid they absorb energy.

Look at this black cloud, about 3,000 feet above Tokyo.

It's producing the living snow.

It does more than just producing snow.

Once the snow has absorbed energy, the cloud attracts it back to itself.

Huh?

It's doubling its size every hour.

If it keeps it up, within a week,

this weird black cloud will entirely cover Japan.

Doctor, isn't there something we can do?

We sent several research planes,

but they couldn't reach the cloud. They all crashed.

You're our last hope.

It's too dangerous, but would you go, Astro?

Yes.

Even if the snow absorbs the energy from this rocket,

it can reach the black cloud at 3000 feet high.

The rest is up to your 100,000 horsepower.

Be careful, Astro.

What is that?

That must be it. Here | come.

A leopard.

How did you make it this far? But this is your end.

Lupe, turn him into a pile of junk.

You're the one behind this strange snow.

Okay!

Here!

It's draining my energy.

Lupe, you love energy. Suck up all his energy.

Darn it, this one absorbs energy, too.

Oh no.

Okay, I'll feed him my jet exhaust. Here you go.

Now! I'll defeat you before my energy runs out.

Here!

| did it! Yippie!

Huh?

Idiot. He doesn't have a shape.

Let me go. Darn...

My energy's going.

How do you like my discovery, the energy-absorbing lifeform?

Have you felt the horror of Lupe?

Even Astro was no match for it.

Go recover Astro.

Civilization is pathetic once the energy is cut off.

What's going to happen next?

Listen, citizens of Tokyo and all of Japan.

I, Dr. Mazeb, am your new ruler.

If you disobey my orders, Japan will go back to the Stone Age.

Artificial skin, 3rd degree damage. Repair complete.

FP joint, 1st degree damage. Repair complete.

Electronic brain, no damage. Nuclear motor, no damage.

Repair complete. Power on.

Thank you so much, Astro.

I'm sorry, Doctor. I didn't help at all.

Thanks to you, we finally know the enemy behind this weird snow.

Who is that Dr. Mazeb?

The Ministry of Science record shows he used to be a nuclear scientist.

He was researching treatment of nuclear waste.

| imagine that he found the weird micro-organism in the course of his research.

That flying leopard may be part of it.

You didn't let go of the leopard's tail.

My staff is analyzing it. Soon we'll find out something.

Until then, stay home and rest. Daddy Mustache is here to take you.

Giddyup!

Who'd have thought in the 21st century, something like this would be useful.

Sir, how long do you think this will last?

Not even | have any idea.

Only human children are happy with it.

Can't we robots ever leave home again?

It'll be over someday.

This is a nice exotic ride once in a while,

but | can't take it too long.

What? Engine trouble again. Move!

Even horses have forgotten how to work.

Here's energy for you. Move.

I'm home.

Welcome home.

I'm glad you're finally home, Astro.

What's wrong?

You sister is bored because she can't go outside.

Play with her, will you?

Uran. Uran.

Strange. Where could she be...?

Uran.

Here. I'm down here.

Uran, you mustn't go outside.

Don't worry, I've got my Christmas candle.

That won't help. This is no ordinary snow.

Snow is snow. Look.

The snow avoids the flame.

I'll show you something more fun.

Watch this.

Huh?

Isn't that great?

The snow can absorb any high energy, yet with a candle flame...

What? The snow is afraid of flames?

Could that be possible?

I see. It was too simple for us to see.

Maybe the snow can absorb artificial energy,

but it can't stand natural energy.

What do you mean?

For example, whenever | drink milk, | have diarrhea.

| see. This snow feeds on artificial energy,

but it is allergic to natural energy.

Possibly.

The snow is finally disturbing the video phone lines.

I'm sorry to ask you, Astro, but come to the Ministry of Science again.

Yes.

What's the commotion underground?

- Let us out! - | can't stay here anymore.

When can you let us out?

Outside. | can see outside.

You can't go outside now. Stay put.

| was not born to be locked up in here.

These are newly-born robots.

They have finally completed the human society adjustment training,

and they were ready to start their new lives when this snow struck.

When will they be able to leave...?

Poor robots.

This is the true face of our terrible enemy.

It's a magnified image of the leopard tail you brought back.

Look closely.

The tiny snow things are assembling and breaking apart.

They're what we call a colony.

Those tiny organisms cling together to form a large shape.

You mean that the leopard looks like a leopard,

but it is in fact made up of small organisms?

Corals are colonies, and so are the sponges you use in the shower.

Now | see why, when | smashed the leopard,

the pieces came back to attack me.

Exactly, Astro. To destroy the leopard,

we have to defeat it as a whole, all at once.

How can we do that?

! command Dr. Ochanomizu, the Minister of Science,

to turn over your Ministry to me.

How can | do that?

We have here the control center for all the energy for Japan.

That's why | want to put my hands on it.

If you say, "No," every city in Japan will be dead.

How selfish.

Wait, Mazeb.

He wants to control energy.

Our Fine Machinery Agency is the lifeline for all the robots

as it has the Energy Capsule Production Department.

What a mess.

If he takes over that place,

we robots will have to obey him, won't we?

Yeah...

Doctor, let me go again.

But...

| have an idea.

If they have a colony, we'll go as a colony.

And so | would like your help.

I'd do anything to go outside soon.

Me, too! We were created to help humans.

He's right. Besides, imagine such an evil man,

getting his hands on our life, our energy. Unforgivable.

Right!

Put C-16 into the right arm. Right.

Okay, Astro, at last.

Okay!

Now it's complete.

Good luck, Astro.

There are so many of us.

Even if we lose some energy, it won't affect us.

Okay, let's go.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Far beyond the sky Far into the stars

Fools. Yet another funny robot is coming.

That's right. Go into pieces and attack.

My energy...

My energy's at zero.

I'm losing it, too.

Doctor, not even a colony can take it any more. Hurry.

No contact from the weather satellite yet?

Doctor! Thunder clouds are gathering 20 miles west northwest.

Did you hear that, Astro?

I got it. Okay.

Those who still have power, full speed.

We're almost there. Hold on.

How do you like the taste of natural energy, the lightning?!

- We did it! - We did it!

What's wrong, Lupe?

Help.

Dr. Ochanomizu, we did it.

Well done, Astro. All the robots are safe now.

- Yeah! - The snow is gone.

Jump, let's go for a walk.

Even the terrible snow was no match for the power of the sun.

The sun is a gift from nature, as they say.

Well, Astro, what about school?

Oops, | forgot about school.

How can you forget school?

Now that the snow is gone, the special vacation is over.

Listen, for children, education comes first.

If you are late, your parental guidance will be questioned.

He's already gone to school.

- Huh? - Bye!

Do any of you guys have a tomboy little sister like Uran?

She always seems to cause trouble,

and now she's got the idea into her head of finding Robot God!

She asks an omniscient computer in the amusement park and it goes haywire!

It's another big mess I'll have to solve!

The things | do for my cute little sister!
