ASTRO BOY

ASTRO

Far beyond the sky Far into the stars

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!

Hello, everyone.

Astro is always wearing his boots, isn't he?

Let's ask him to take them off.

Look.

Astro's feet are graceful. They look like a girl's feet.

That's right.

Astro's feet are none other than a girl's feet.

What?!

This is a secret only Dr. Ochanomizu knows about.

There is a profound story behind this.

A very sad story.

Astro's First Love

You mean, before | was born?

Right. There was another design very similar to yours.

It was your prototype.

You can call it an experiment.

Dr. Tenma scrapped that design

and put it away in a vault at the Ministry of Science.

Later he completed a good design and you were born.

The old design was forgotten,

and stayed in the vault for the longest time.

But just recently we found out

that the design had been taken abroad by a spy.

Yesterday it became clear that the design

was hidden in an underground fortress in the Republic of Grotta.

All this is the fault of the Ministry of Science.

| have to take full responsibility and resign as the Minister.

No way.

Our resignation alone...

..1S not enough.

They're right, Astro. The prototype...

.. if created from the design...

...would be a big problem.

A neutron bomb would be built in...

...when a certain spot on the robot is pressed...

... It will activate and detonate.

You mean this robot is a walking bomb?

Yes. It was a government order, but what a terrible thing to create.

Luckily that design was rejected.

Only the "robot" part was used to create your design.

And why did you call me?

Astro, we don't have a second to waste.

We want you to go to the fortress in the Republic of Grotta.

Bring back the design.

This is a secret mission.

Steal it without being discovered.

Like a thief?

You're taking back what was stolen. You wouldn't be a thief.

It's just that a run-in with the Republic of Grotta would be troublesome.

You can't look like a robot. Go disguised as a human.

Now you look like a fine Grottan.

Don't use your power. Make it look heavy.

Heave-ho.

Passengers boarding Grotta Airlines flight 482...

Astro, it'll be difficult, but you're our only hope.

If a robot is made from that design,

it would be catastrophic.

Please...

Next stop is Thrill.

If you're getting off at Thrilli, we apologize in advance,

but you must go through a security check.

Once you get off the train, please form a line at the checkpoint at the station.

Hey, you forgot your bag.

Huh?

Here.

Here | go.

Aw...

There!

You just saw me.

Please, let me go.

| can't let you go. Not after you saw me.

Why not?

Can't tell you.

You're a robot.

Yes. You're a robot, too?

Me? No...

You held me down with such strength. You must be a robot.

You're weird. Why are you disguised as a human?

Quiet. Please answer my questions.

Do you live around here?

Yes.

Then you know where the fortress is.

Yes...

Take me there. Not to the front, but the back.

So | can crawl under this?

You can't. You'll be caught in the laser

and shot from all directions.

| won't know unless | try.

There.

Good, you're all right.

They'll be here. Let's go.

It's no good. | don't think | can go through.

| told you so.

Do you want to get in that badly?

Yes.

Go through the front gate.

But isn't there a checkpoint?

We can do it. Maybe.

Huh?

Halt.

Oh, it’s you, Nuka.

Yes, I'm back.

Wait. What's that robot?

I'm taking him to Dr. Rindolf.

Another research material? Go ahead.

If you lived in this fortress,

why didn't you just tell me?

I got you in fine, so why are you getting mad?

You're right, but...

We're parting here. Thanks for everything.

Wait a minute. Do me a favor now.

Huh? Such as?

| don't have any friends. I'm all alone.

But there are so many humans here.

I've wanted a robot friend. Please.

None of the robots here at the fortress can speak. They have no hearts.

It's so lonely.

Do you feel lonely?

You must be quite a sophisticated robot.

Tell me your name, please.

My name is Astro.

I'm Nuka. | was created by Dr. Rindolf.

Who's Dr. Rindolf?

He manages all the robots at this fortress.

Huh?

Hide.

It's me, Nuka.

Did you see them? How can | ever be friends with them?

| have to finish my job and leave before they find me.

I'll help you.

If you did that, Dr. Rindolf will punish you.

| don't want to leave you.

Then come with me.

Hurry, tear the cords inside the wall.

There. There.

It worked.

There.

We're saved. Thank you.

Where are we going?

There's a vault down there. That's what | came for.

Nuka!

Astro!

Dr. Rindolf.

Nuka, what a foolish act. You traitor.

I'm sorry, Doctor, but...

I'll punish you later. Nuka, come back through the door.

| have to take care of that intruder.

Forgive him. Please don't do anything to him.

"Don't do anything?”

He's a spy who sneaked into this fortress.

You said you were going to the vault. You want the robot design, don't you?

It's too late.

I've already built a robot from that design.

A robot was born, with a neutron bomb built into it.

Look.

The robot is standing right in front of you.

Nuka is that robot.

You...

Come back now, Nuka. Come back.

Astro... I'm sorry.

It ends here for you.

As a spy, you'll meet a first-rate death.

Huh?

Oh?

Well, spy robot, how do you like your trip to hell?

That dome is covered with a magnetic barrier.

You can struggle, but you can never leave.

A long, long journey awaits you.

You'll be carried to the sun and smash straight into It.

Isn't ita wonderful funeral?

| won't be finished off without a fight.

There!

Okay!

Huh?

Morse code.

N-U-K-A.

Nuka!

She's out there.

Curse you, Nuka.

| told her to get back. How dare she have her own way!

Well, you can go with the spy.

I'll activate your neutron bomb.

Huh?

Nuka, in one hour, you will explode with the rocket.

You can go, because 100 more robots just like you are almost complete.

You fool.

Nuka, what are you doing out there?

Huh?

Good, the magnetic barrier is gone.

Here.

Astro.

Nuka.

You broke it for me. Thank you.

Hurry and go. The rocket will blow up.

You're coming with me.

Here we come.

Damn.

Shoot them down. Emergency attack position.

There!

Got you.

You'd better hide here.

Here.

Take this.

Here we come.

Astro.

Here.

There you go.

Dr. Rindolf, give the design back to me.

You mean this?

Here.

Huh?

| don't need this anymore. Look.

All these robots are already near completion.

I'll give you Nuka. Take her with you.

| won't let you make them.

Here.

There.

Help.

Come on, Nuka, let's get out of here.

Astro, you must go alone. I'm finished.

Dr. Rindolf has activated the bomb.

The ignition is here, in my brain.

In less than 30 minutes, the neutron bomb will go off.

It can't be stopped now.

Nuka!

Go, hurry. This is my fate, after all.

Astro, you are wonderful.

| will never forget you. Goodbye.

Go now.

Help... It hurts...

Dr. Rindolf, | will help you,

but please, take the neutron bomb out of Nuka's body.

That's impossible. Her whole body is the bomb.

Why did you activate the bomb?

If you hadn't, Nuka could have lived as a peaceful robot forever.

Astro, you've only got 20 minutes left.

| beg you. Why don't you run away?

| have to stop your explosion.

Doctor, a bomb can be disassembled, can't it?

It's impossible to disassemble.

Do it. Now.

Otherwise you'll die with us.

Nuka, lie down on the table.

Only ten more minutes.

Astro, you'll never be able to get away.

You'll die, too.

Nuka, I'll be here until the end.

| won't leave you.

Why?

Why?

| wonder why.

| just don't want to leave you.

You're so dear to me.

Maybe humans would say... "I'm in love."

| don't know if I can do it in time,

but the only chance is to take her completely apart from head to waist.

But then I'll never be able to put Nuka together again.

| burned the design.

It's all right, Doctor. Go ahead.

Nuka...

Astro, | love you.

| love you, too.

One more minute.

Twenty seconds left.

Finished.

It's a good thing the design is lost.

Astro, thank you so much.

Dr. Ochanomizu...

These are the only parts left from Nuka's body.

She was your prototype. The design is similar to yours.

Doctor, I'd like to ask you a favor.

What is it? Ask for whatever reward.

My legs and Nuka’'s legs. Can you swap them?

What?

| don't ever want to forget Nuka.

| wish Nuka and | could be one.

Please, Doctor.

Attach those legs to me.

But those legs are for a girl.

I'm a child, so nobody would notice.

You just said | could have anything.

Well, | guess | did...

Nuka, you'll be with me forever.

This is my secret.

It's just between you and me.

See you.

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!
