English language episode list

1. Birth of Astro Boy– September 1, 1963 (1963-09-01): The story takes place in Metro City (circa 2000 A.D.). Young Aster Boytonn (the son of Dr. Boytonn) ends up dying in a hideous car crash. His father is left grief-stricken, but he plans on resolving his loss by creating a robot that looks like his son. Though the rest of the Ministry of Science is unsure of this plan (some thinking he's gone mad), they go along with it. Over the next year, his creation is assembled and named "Astro Boy". The next morning, Astro begins to adjust to life with Dr. Boytonn. After some time, it becomes clear that Astro isn't a human child, and won't grow like regular children. Because of this, his father sells him to Mr. Cacciatore, the cruel ringmaster of a robot circus. At the circus, Astro is forced to fight against Z.O.G, a giant robot, in a duel where one robot will die. During the fight, Dr. Elefun steps into the ring to protest the fight. Cacciatore, however, shows that his robot licenses say that there's nothing wrong with robots fighting each other. Astro fights valiantly, and discovers two of his 7 abilities: super strength and flight. Using these abilities, he is able to defeat Z.O.G, but he refuses to kill Z.O.G. Later that night, Cacciatore demands to know why Astro refused to kill Z.O.G, and ends up punishing him by cutting off his power supply from any recharges. Dr. Elefun comes to talk Cacciatore into giving Astro back, but he refuses to negotiate. Meanwhile, Astro finds a large heap of robots that Cacciatore plans to sell as scrap metal. He learns from the Captain of the Tin Brigade that everyone is in the pile because they no longer please people. Astro then decides to share his energy with the robots. Some time later, the robot circus is ready for its next performance. The opening act features Sparky, a robot cannonball, who Cacciatore has jump through high voltage charges. Unfortunately, Sparky goes out of control and ends up exploding, causing the whole circus tent to begin to collapse. Despite a lack of power, Astro leads the robots he restored in a rescue mission. The robots quickly find and rescue everyone, save for Cacciatore. Astro re-enters the building to save him, and discovers his 3rd ability: super hearing. Using his new skill, he saves Cacciatore from certain death. Later, at a local hospital, Astro is liberated from Cacciatore when Dr. Elefun shows that robots are finally free from slavery. Having been beaten, Cacciatore cries in defeat as Dr. Elefun and Astro leave.

2. Frankenstein (English Title: Colosso)– September 8, 1963 (1963-09-08): The story begins in a robot factory. After an explanation as to how robots now begin to outnumber humans, the factory boss decides that "robots will make robots" to make up for the worker shortage. Meanwhile, Astro Boy longs to have a mother and father to call his own. Deciding to chat with Dr. Elefun, Astro has his parents custom-made at the Institute of Science. Later that evening, an experimental robot named Colosso (Frankenstein in the Japanese version) goes haywire and escapes after causing immense collateral damage and several worker casualties. Astro happens across the horrid mess and figures out that, due to being incomplete, Colosso will listen to the first person he hears. Later that night, Colosso runs into a trio of gangsters having trouble cracking open a safe. He soon becomes the (unknowing) slave of Munk (a skinny, quiet mobster), who has Colosso (who is nicknamed "Big Boy" by the mobsters) break into the safe for them. Back at their hideout, the Big Boss welcomes Colosso into the gang as their newest addition. Their next heist occurs at a local ballet performance, where the mobsters plan to steal the gems that belong to a wealthy patron of the ballet. After the show ends, the patron goes to give a present to the ballerina. Colosso, however, interrupts the meeting and causes an explosion of mass hysteria. Colosso accidentally grabs the present for the ballerina, which was an oil can. Astro, despite being blamed by Inspector Gumshoe for the crime, decides to investigate the robberies. Later, at a local musuem, Astro finds Munk (disguised as a guard) and Colosso (disguised as the Thinker) stealing several jewels. Astro is once again blamed by Inspector Gumshoe and he is blamed by Munk (who said Astro was the thief). Back at their hideout, the mobsters get shares of the loot. The Big Boss decides to take the big pieces and gives only fractions of one diamond to the other mobsters (who take them so they aren't shot like their friend). At Astro's trial, Astro is saved by Dr. Elefun, who points out that Colosso is still on the loose. Later, Dr. Elefun devises a plan to capture Colosso. Going on a cruise ship with a diamond in a bag (really a pile of rocks), Dr. Elefun is soon attacked by Colosso, and Astro comes to save Dr. Elefun. The battle on the ship causes serious damage to the ship's hull, which culminates with Astro dropping Colosso from a precarious height. Colosso survives the fall, but passes out in a nearby lighthouse. Astro heads there and meets Munk, who reveals everything about the Big Boss' plan and gives up being a mobster. A scientist comes to fix Colosso, but the mobsters soon find Astro. Astro quickly defeats the Big Boss and his minions, and they are presumably arrested. Astro is rewarded for his heroism with his recently completed parents. Colosso is repaired and sent on his mission to work at an outpost in outer space, and Astro and Munk bid him a fond farewell.
