Tokugawa, a general from the Tokugawa conglomerate, requests that Dr. Tenma construct a robot to replace his late son, Daichi. The resulting robot, now named Atlas, retains memories of hatred toward his father and humanity, leading him to attack people and terrify the public. Atom attempts to reason with Atlas to stop the violence but fails. During a meeting to select a successor, Atlas destroys the Tokugawa headquarters building while claiming to be Daichi. The motive behind this destruction remains unknown to everyone present. Consequently, Atom resolves to directly confront Atlas to address the escalating threat posed by the rogue robot.
