Aired on May 21, 1963
21
A member of the cosmic patrol battles against gangs while struggling in the conflict. Astro Boy arrives to offer assistance, but the patrol member refuses the aid, explicitly stating that he does not require help from a robot. The patrol member remains unaware of the fact that he is also a robot himself. This dramatic irony highlights the tension between the two characters as the patrol member continues his fight without realizing the shared nature of his identity with the hero who is trying to support him.
