What is the reason of my birth?
Reason of my life, question of man.
What he is?
What he wants?
Ima kimi ni mienai chikara ga osoi. Now you are being troubled by an unseen power.
Utsumuite namida kakushiteta. You hang your head and hide your tears.
Dou sureba ii ka? Sore sae wakarazu ni! What should be done? That's unknown!
Asphalt ni saku hana ni yuuki kanjita... Blooming in the asphalt is a flower of courage...

Sore ga kimi no yume Your dream...
Power Up!
Tobio...
Fa-ther?
Awaken!
Science gave birth to the Ultimate Robot!
Robot?
Wh-what's wrong?
Not enough energy!
What?!
Isn't all the energy here going into that capsule?!
It's just not enough!
Contact the energy plant!
Collect all the energy of Metal City!
Just a little more and that robot will awaken!
Emergency notice!
Yup!
All of the city's energy supply is needed.
Switch the pipes.
That'll be dangerous!
It's an order from above!
Just carry out the order!
Roger!
Gear 1 Mode Change.
The memories are bitter, Ochanomizu...
Awaken!
Me?
Are you calling me?
Oh, oh no!
Stop!
Give up on the robot!
Come back right now!
Everyone...
This kid is going to be born!
You've awaken?
Tobio, no, you were just born!
Your name is...
Atom...
Right, you're Atom!
All systems back to normal.
Delivering Metal City's energy.
Man, that was way too reckless!
If these power surges occur frequently, what'll I do?
I want to hurry and see it.
The ultimate robot...
Cybernetics sure has advanced further than expected.
I'm looking forward to it.
Good Atom, that's it!
So, what do you think Atom?
Where's the ultimate robot?
All I see is a regular kid...
This is the world's first robot that's just like a human.
That's why he's like a human child.
Why didn't you just program him from the beginning?
Does this robot have any practical use?
You guys don't understand!
If a robot has a human mind...
Then they'll finally be real friends...
Anyway...
This is kid stuff...
If we're done, I'm going back to my shop.
This kid will change robot history, he's the ultimate robot!
That's what I think...
Boss!
What is it?
Return to main controls.
You're already 40 seconds late!
But Atom...
Leave it to Robita!
Y-yes sir!
Well, well, Robita.
Take care of Atom.
You can rely on me.
Atom, I'm...
Hurry!
I'm coming, I am, I am...
I get it!
Be a good kid Atom!
Alright, let's continue studying.
Robot are humans...
Hey, Atom, watch out, watch out!
No, no, no!
Danger! Danger!
Atom, don't!
No! No!
Got you!
First, never do it again!
The damage from collecting all the energy is still being fixed!
If you ever do it again, I'll file a report!
Well, well, I lose...
Let me in!
Hey wait!
I'm Metal City Cop Tawachi!
I've come to ask you about the disaster.
Well, that's...
Wait!
A robot with a mind?
Yes, it's completely free to choose its actions.
The world's first...
That's dangerous!
A robot acting on it's own!
Atom's a good kid who'll obey rules!
Settle down!
He's a good kid!
Atom!
I'm flying, flying!
Flying!
Thanks for waiting.
That was surprising...
Hi!
This sure is fun!
Can't he just stay in one place?
I'm even more worried now that he's flying.
Right, it's urgent, catch that robot boy!
Abnormality in the Main Energy Pipe.
Send the maintenance hang!
Roger!
Maintenance hang, activated, abnormality in the waste section.
Emergency! Emergency!
Father!
Robot?
Who are you?! You surprised us!
Can I walk with you?
Maybe for a little bit.
Hey!
Be like this.
1, 2, 1, 2...
Understand? Try it!
Like this? 1, 2, 1, 2...
STOP!
Father!
Don't be violent to my father!
I-I'm sorry...
Are you okay father?
What a strange robot...
Ah, that was scary.
All the energy has been cut off!
That's why I said it was too reckless!
What the heck is happening?!
Keep going!
Hey, hey, what are you doing?
Please stay back!
Seems interesting!
Let me do it!
We can't!
We're not playing, this is work!
Work?
Why are you working?
We work so the humans can enjoy a peaceful world.
That is our duty as robots.
Robot's duty?
Wh-what's going on?!
A lot of energy, ow ow ow!
What?!
It only happened once!
Didn't you know?!
Your predecessor was sure eploiting the core!
The core wasn't capable of doing that!
What, that happened?!
It wasn't that much energy for the core...
No!
What's wrong?!
The core, it's started to move!
It's my fault!
I have to hurry and do something!
What, that's the core?!
Save me!
Professor!
I'm saved...
I have to go!
I'm going to stop that robot's violence!
Atom!
This is a power crisis!
The core right now has powered up and gone berserk.
Don't let it get by!
We cannot let it pass this bridge!
I'm not going to let a robot destroy my town!
Where is it now?!
Underground, it's heading this way!
Underground?
FIRE!
FIRE! FIRE!
The core is absorbing the energy!
It's just getting stronger!
Like this...
Robots, again!
Don't be violent!
It's inconveniencing everyone!
RETREAT!
A-Atom!
Atom...
Get the energy cannon!
We're going to protect Metal City!
No! If it blows up, the town will be destroyed!
Get ready to attack!
Stop!
FIRE!
Wait!
You can't fire, it'll explode!
What?!
What?
Atom!
Wow!
He's weird, but amazing!
Wow, his body is so small, but...
Painful...
It's painful...
You...
It's you?
I...
You can understand me?
Please, help me!
Okay!
But if I do, no more violence!
I didn't mean to be violent...
I had so much energy that I was in pain...
What's that? That noise...
Then I'll take your energy for you!
Really?
Okay!
Atom!
The core's energy is getting absorbed by Atom!
If you do that, you'll get sick Atom!
Alright, let's go home!
Atom did...
He saved the core...
That tiny body took all of the core's energy.
Core returned.
Unbelievable!
Oh, restore the system, hurry!
System operating!
Thank goodness that you're not in pain anymore.
Then, see you later!
I see, the excess energy is getting discarded as light.
Pretty, it's like a star!
An Astro Boy!
Atom, let's go home!
Profesor Ochanomizu!
Look! Look!
Man, he's just a kid.
But, I didn't teach him anything, and he still saved the humans and a robot.
That kid will probably be the bridge between humans and robots.
Tobio...
You are... Tobio!
Naze... Naze... Kokoro ga... Why... Why... is my heart...
Itamu to namida ni naru? Is filled with pain and tears?
Naze... Naze... Namida ga... Why... Why... Tears...
Ochiru to Hitori ni naru. They fall and I'm alone.
Chiisa na hiza kakae... I hold my tiny knees...
Tooku wo mata miageru. And look up and far away.
Hiroi... Hiroi... Vast... Vast...
Kono sora yori motto hiroi hazu da! It has to be more wide than these skies!
Takai... Takai... High... High...
Ano kumo yori motto takai hazu da! It has to be higher than those clouds!
Kimi no kokoro mo... Your heart is...
The Robot Ball is very popular right now in Metal City.
But the star player Harley is acting strange!
What's wrong Harley?
Next time! Robot Ball!
With your heart... Catch the future!
