Greenland - Godthab

Thank you for coming to the far north, Dr. Ochanomizu.

Dr. Gould, | brought Astro as you requested.

What can he do for you?

Please do a favor for a dying old man.

Don't talk like that. Listen, Dr. Gould,

your paper on the space radiowave and its effect on the glaciers

was a very interesting read.

Future studies will be...

We don't have time to discuss that now.

I'm descended from the Vikings.

The Vikings?

The Vikings, back in the 8th through 11th centuries,

traveled across the seas and waged wars around Europe.

They are known to history as powerful, fierce warriors.

1000 years ago, King Erik of the Vikings

came to Greenland and worshipped his god Odin.

He is said to have buried gold with the sacred statue.

Gold?

During World War Il, the Nazis tried to find the gold...

but they ultimately failed.

| don't care for the gold, but my ancestors’ burial ground...

| mean, their sacred ground...

Dr. Ochanomizu.

My friends will be here tomorrow. I've told them about you.

Please help them.

To locate the sacred ground beyond the ice and snow...

Astro, we need your power.

Huh?

Dr. Gould.

Dr. Gould!

The World Of Odin

Here comes a strange ship.

Oh my. That looks just like a Viking ship.

What?

- Viking? - Vikings?!

Lower the sails. Rest the oars.

Stop.

Even the sailors look just like Vikings.

- Huh? - What's wrong?

You must be Dr. Ochanomizu and Astro.

Yes, we are.

I'm Cloud, the captain of this Viking ship.

Dr. Gould told us about you.

I see. Such a magnificent ship.

On to the sacred land of Odin.

What a beautiful engine.

| thought you only used the sails and oars.

Of course, sometimes we only use sails,

but we need the engine to freely travel the rough North Sea.

Oh!

- Oh! - Ah!

- Saint Elmo's Fire. - Saint Elmo's Fire!

Isn't it unusual for it to appear so much and so bright?

Maybe the God of Death is welcoming us.

King Erik is said to have predicted

that anyone invading the sacred ground must be killed by thunderbolt.

Dr. Gould told us to check these three places.

The first one is on the tundra.

An avalanche.

- Astro. - Yes sir.

Here! There!

There you go! There!

Ouch... That was close.

Who's there?

A snowman? It can't be...

So you saw him.

Captain Cloud, who the heck is this?

Forget what you saw and never enter here again.

It is said that the Vikings often landed here on the tundra.

The first point is below this cliff.

Astro, go take a look.

Yes.

Be careful, Astro.

I'm fine.

Here.

What?

It's frozen.

They're all frozen.

What's that?

A stone marker and ancient Norwegian writing?

Yes.

What did it say?

"The god is north of here. Only Gralla can locate it."

Gralla? What could that be?

"North" isn't enough. We'll go on to the next spot.

Looks like the remains of a Nazi base.

This is the second spot.

Look. There's a stone plate.

You might be in danger if you get too close.

Astro, magnify and read it.

Yes.

It's the same ancient Norwegian.

"The gold is west of here. Only Gralla can locate it."

Gralla again.

Huh?

Out of my way.

What're you doing? Stop.

Here I come.

"Gold is southwest of here, up the river. Only Gralla can locate it."

There's no river.

| looked from above, but there was no river.

Maybe there was one years ago. It's probably frozen over.

Captain, any ancient maps?

Yes. Here is one.

Here it is. The River Izry.

River Izry. We can go upstream, but how far?

From the first point, we go north.

From the second point, we go west.

Where the two lines meet, that's where we're going.

This one has an explanation about Gralla.

What?

"The sacred descendant of the god Odin, the chosen one that protects the gold."

What's going on?

- Father. - Zavi.

Tonight, we shall fight to the end.

Exactly my wish.

| don't need you anymore. Go to your father.

- That's Zavi. - Zavi.

Father.

You didn't need to take Zavi hostage. | would have fought you anytime.

Unlike you, | lived in the civilization.

It taught me to trust no one.

Cloud, your eyes, arms, and legs— | will cut them all off.

Huh...

This is your last chance to quit.

Is that all you have to say? Come on.

Father, win.

If things ever go wrong, I'll fight.

Stop it.

Don't kill each other.

Out of the way, Astro.

Who is that?

Stay out of the way. This isn't just a killing.

This is a sacred duel.

We are the descendants of the Vikings who followed King Erik and stayed here.

This man Zakro claims to be the king of the Vikings here.

But | also have the right to the throne.

The two of us have been fighting for our honor.

There can be only one chosen by Odin.

Fight now so that the god can choose one.

Got it? Get out of the way.

How about that?

What say you?

Zakro is sure to win.

- It's Zakro. - Zakro.

You won't get away. Prepare to die.

- Zakro! - Father!

Father...

Astro, don't give me that look.

| won the throne, lawfully, in a duel between men.

A law like that shouldn't be observed.

Shut up. Do not say such a thing.

The law of Odin is everything to us Vikings.

Cloud, from now on, you shall call yourself Gralla.

Zakro, you fought well. You're a true warrior.

Zavi, you're lucky to have such a fine father.

Zavi, grow strong. And one day, Odin will...

Gralla... | see. Gralla means the chosen king.

Odin, | am the new Gralla. Men, will you follow me?

I'm going to Odin's sacred land in the north.

| will take one. Who?

I'll go.

Zavi, but you're still a child.

| offered to go first. By law, you have to take me.

All right then.

Odin.

- Odin. Odin. - Odin. Odin.

- Odin. Odin. - Odin. Odin.

At last, as Gralla, | alone can go to the sacred land.

According to the map, there should be a sulfur spring around here.

What's a sulfur spring?

That was close.

This is the sulfur spring.

Volcanic areas like this commonly have such sulfur springs

and geysers like we saw earlier.

Extremely hot. Be careful.

Wherever we go, we can see the aurora.

I've never seen one like that.

It's like it's calling us.

Should we say mysterious or not...

Doctor!

Astro.

Astro, are you all right?

Hey, say something.

Zavi.

Zavi, hang on tight.

Wait for me.

Come on. Grab my leg.

What're you waiting for? Grab it now.

Who'd want your help-?

So you are both safe.

You worried me, Zavi.

Beautiful.

It's so bright, almost blinding.

Forget that. Hurry along.

The sacred ground shouldn't be far.

Let's go around the foot of that mountain.

Huh?

A keel of a ship.

Here's proof that the Viking ships were traveling this far.

So is this King Erik's ship?

No, it's too small. Dr. Ochanomizu, let's go ahead.

At last, we've reached the sacred land.

This must be King Erik's ship.

St. Elmo's Fire.

We shouldn't violate this place.

It's literally a sacred place.

I think this is not a place for humans to visit.

Not after coming all this way. I'm going.

No, let me go first.

Astro!

I'm not a human. I'm a robot. So there's no need to worry.

All right, go ahead. However...

If you touch Odin's sacred statue or gold, you'll pay for it.

I know.

What did you say?

You don't trust Astro?

I'm naturally suspicious. Forget it.

Astro.

Astro.

Astro.

I'm going alone from here.

But...

Only Gralla can go.

Astro. Astro.

Astro. Astro.

Astro.

What is that?

Is this the gold that King Erik brought here?

| am Odin, a probe from another planet that came to Earth 1000 years ago.

Odin the probe?

| have just absorbed from this robot the language system of Earth and mastered it.

When | landed on Earth, | was damaged and unable to move.

Some humans picked me up,

but their technology was not advanced and they could not fix me.

Not only that, they said | was a god and worshipped me.

That was the god Odin, then.

Yes. Now | have met this robot.

| will disassemble it, use its parts, and | can finally leave Earth.

The sacred statue for us Vikings...

The gold... The sacred land...

Nothing but a probe from outer space.

Odin, if you want to be repaired, | will carry you to Japan or wherever.

The scientists can fix you.

No. | will not let humans touch my body.

I will fix myself. That is our law.

How selfish.

I've waited for 1000 years.

What are you doing?

Give that robot back to me.

Doctor, take Astro.

Astro! His circuits have shorted.

Beautiful...

Captain Cloud.

| will not forgive you.

More fire.

Cloud, what happened on the ship?

Zavi, you can finish me now.

Cloud... Huh?

Let's go behind a rock.

Forget me. Run.

Doctor, hide behind a rock now.

This will do.

This should do-

Watch out!

What is that thing?

That's the true face of the gold.

What?

Just because he saved me from that monster,

Captain Cloud was attacked.

Okay, I'll show you.

How far has Astro gone?

Hang on, Captain Cloud.

Look, Astro's back.

Take this!

| waited for 1000 years...

Dr. Ochanomizu, it's all right now.

Astro.

Well done, Astro.

Cloud died with honor as a Viking.

| vow to be a warrior as fearless as Father and Cloud.

Captain Cloud...

Set sail. Sound the gong.

Mexico is known as the Egypt of Central America.

The king's tomb pyramid is the key to understanding the Mayan race.

Monsieur Ampere's excavation team is made up of real oddballs,

but | agree to come along as a bodyguard.

I'm pitted against Crab Men and a giant Sphinx!

But then inside the pyramid, | see...

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

| fight in the name of peace!

Let's go on a journey together!
