Sore ga kimi no yume Your dream...
Lost in Outland
Ashura has fallen from orbit!
It's now being drawn in by the Earth's gravitational pull!
Did you say Ashura? That's equipment from last century!
Why was a satellite weapon left up in space?
It would have cost billions to bring it down.
That thing is powered by a plasma reactor!
If that thing falls to Earth...
I'm generating an impact simulation.
It's falling in Drake Passage?
That means Antarctica is in danger.
Are you kidding me?!
The entire world will be flooded...
...if the explosion melts the Antarctic icecaps!
What if we shoot it down with a missile?
If it explodes in its current position...
...it would cause irreparable damage to the ozone layer!
We have to cool it down in the stratosphere...
...and bring it down for a soft landing.
That's the only way we can avoid this crisis.
Who can do that?!
Thank you.
Maybe Atom can.
Atom can't.
I don't think his body can withstand the heat from the plasma reactor.
Doctor! It's Atom!
What am I gonna do with you, Atom?
Oh, no!
The radiation from Ashura has drastically decreased.
It will soon be at a safe level.
Sorry, I'm gonna have to leave this here for a bit.
I'll have someone sent back to pick it up.
Atom, are you all right?
Doctor, there's bad news!
There's another satellite much bigger than Ashura that's--
I have to go back to space before it comes falling down--
Atom, what's wrong? Atom!
Atom!
Can't get any good parts out here.
- What are you up to, Boon? - Hey, Munk.
What's with the kid?
He was abandoned in the back hill.
Abandoned?
I can't remember anything.
It looks like his memory circuit is busted.
- Who am I? - I don't know.
But now that you're awake, hurry up and go off somewhere!
Where am I supposed to go?
I feel like I'm supposed to do something very important.
Poor kid.
He's lost his heart.
We've looked everywhere and we haven't found him.
I think we should go back and rest for a while.
I'm not looking for him as the director of the Ministry of Science.
I'm looking for him as his parent.
Please, keep looking for him. He must want to come back.
I understand.
Atom, where in the world are you?
Hey, kid.
If you're gonna live here...
...you better learn to take care of yourself.
All right, then...
What are you doing, kid?
Just a little more...
That's some power.
- He's an incredible robot, isn't he? - Did you make him?
No way.
Boon! This is so pretty.
Boon.
That thing you found...
...looks like one of the repair units that Boon invented.
That's right. A piece of Boon's heart he thought he had thrown away.
A piece of his heart?
Boon invented a unit that would instantly repair any problem.
He built a floating repair shop to travel around the world...
...repairing broken machines and robots for free to advertise it.
He even had robots managing the floating repair shop by themselves...
...to demonstrate the dependability of the Boon Unit.
So Boon was a scientist.
A system that would fix any kind of problem automatically.
It was a dream come true.
But...
...there was a major flaw.
Not only did it not repair any problems...
...the entire shop broke down and sank to the bottom of the ocean.
People who entrusted Boon with their robots and machines...
...accused him of fraud and demanded compensation.
The Boon Unit is not a fraud!
There must be some other reason. The unit is not faulty!
Nobody believed Boon.
Boon was arrested for fraud.
But Boon kept pleading.
He insisted it was a conspiracy by major corporations...
...who feared their new products wouldn't sell because of the units.
And then- -
...Boon escaped prison.
That's when he forsook his heart.
Are you done telling that old story?
Boon.
Hey, thanks to this boy, your old story may turn out to have a happy ending.
Did I do something wrong?
No, Boon is just confused about encountering his long-lost heart.
- He may be scared. - Scared?
Yeah.
Had a unit never been found, he could continue to insist it had no faults.
But now, if he checks the unit again...
...he may find a flaw he never noticed before.
He has to be somewhere!
Find him! Keep looking!
Please!
What's wrong, robot boy?
I don't see Boon.
That is worrisome.
What are you doing, Mr. Munk?
I'm adjusting this so that I can see people's hearts more clearly.
This is wonderful!
It shall be the guardian of my house!
There you go.
Jake! How much did you sell your art for this time?
Look, everybody! Two million credits!
Boon!
Where were you? I've been looking for you!
If this face rings any bells, please let us know.
He robbed the vault at Maple Bank and is on the run.
And this man escaped from prison 15 years ago.
We ask for your cooperation in finding him.
Oh, that's Boon!
Do you know this man?
Boon's over there.
- Boon! - Run!
- That robot showed up again! - What?
Hey!
Please come quietly.
What are you doing to Boon?
Boon, are you a bad person?
Do I look like a bad person to you?
Nope! You're a good person!
Thanks.
Check the visual memory of all robots.
Someone may have seen Atom somewhere.
You mean all robots?
There's no other way.
- Hey! - What's that?
What's wrong?
He froze.
Holy cow!
The falling Ganymede is 10 times bigger than Ashura.
It'll orbit Earth three more times before it can no longer resist gravity...
...and then come crashing down to Earth!
This is the same situation as before.
Only Atom can help.
Where is Atom? Haven't you found him yet?
Did you submit his visual memory to the Ministry of Science?
I don't think so. Not yet.
We'll check. You'll have to collect him later.
I'm sorry, no robot has seen Atom.
Then we have no choice but to believe that he most likely blew up in midair.
If Atom really did blow up...
It's the end of the world.
Don't give up!
It's not the end of Atom, nor the world!
Doctor! New data has arrived!
--And is on the run.
- That's Boon! - Atom!
Boon, can't your unit fix it?
My unit is not compatible with this generation.
Jeez! Why didn't you make any upgrades?
Atom! Atom!
How were you able to fix him with this junk?
But I have to say, that was some remarkable first aid!
Boon fixed it.
Boon?
Oh, you are--
I'm a fugitive, but I won't run.
So please help Atom first.
Doctor.
- Atom! - Dr. Ochanomizu!
Ganymede will fall in three days!
Kid, you've had amnesia for three days. Time's up.
Atom, we don't have time.
- I'm going to stop Ganymede! - Atom!
Go get it, Atom!
I will!
He's gone.
Is that a Boon Unit?
- Doctor, can I borrow your gyro? - What?
I see. Sure!
Where are you going, Boon?
He's gonna fix Ganymede with the Boon Unit.
We can't let Atom save the world by himself.
Can we trust your Boon Unit?
This Boon Unit is to me what Atom is to you, doctor.
This is my kid that I lost some time ago.
Atom!
Doctor, Boon!
Hold on, kid! We're gonna help you!
Kid, insert that in Ganymede's power drive!
Let it repair Ganymede.
Hurry! Stick it in the power drive!
- You did it, kid! - The Boon Unit fixed Ganymede.
- So, what happened? - Don't you get it?
See? The world was saved.
You're incredible. Boon was right after all.
Many thanks to you and the Boon Unit.
Boon located! Boon located!
Apprehending him immediately!
Boon! Dr. Ochanomizu!
Wait! Boon won't run away any more!
The Boon Unit wasn't defective after all.
Right, Boon?
Yes, kid, thanks to you.
By the way, kid, did you find your heart?
Yep!
Welcome home, Atom.
Doctor!
I'm home, doctor.
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.
