The Devil Garon

One evening, Astro is watching a story on TV about a boy who finds a bottle that contains a genie, who is released and promptly threatens to eat the boy. The boy instead asks to see if the genie can drink all the water in the sea; the genie grants his wish and drinks so much water that he explodes. As the story ends, a large meteor falls into a mountain valley some distance away. Dr. Elefun, Astro, and a team of scientists head off to investigate the crash. At the impact site, Astro uncovers a large metallic meteor-like object that turns out to be a mass of metal parts. Astro constructs the parts, and finds that they form a giant robot. A message capsule hidden in the mass calls the robot "Garon", which came from an alien planet and apparently has terraforming abilities. That night, a thunderstorm erupts, and Garon is brought to life by a stray bolt of lightning, frightening the scientists. Astro subdues Garon before he can cause damage, trapping him back in the impact site and buried in molten lava. However, one of the scientists, Dr. Adams, later uncovers Garon and secretly smuggles him to a remote island in the South Pacific. There, he requests Garon terraform the island to resemble the planet of his origin. As Garon proceeds to terraform the island, he also alters the atmosphere around the island to that of his planet. The scientists discover that his atmosphere has almost no oxygen content, but all perish before they can escape. The tradewinds begin carrying the poisonous atmosphere across the South Pacific, killing all life in its way. Astro is sent by Elefun to investigate, and he encounters Garon, still busily terraforming the island. Realizing that he can't win by brute force alone, he tricks Garon into also altering the gravity of the island to match that of his planet for at least one minute. Garon falls for his trick, and after altering the gravity of the island, gets shot back out into outer space, creating a vacuum around the island that pulls all of the poisonous gas along with him.

Atom vs. Atlas 9: Remember Atlas

Alien invaders arrive in the Sol system and begin destroying space stations orbiting several of the planets. The nations of the world believe the attacks are those of Atlas, and unite to form a World Defense Force to stop Atlas. Captain Keeley, one of the squad leaders, is tasked to destroy Atlas, which he desires as revenge for the death of his brother, a scientist on one of the destroyed stations. Astro, however, wishes to reason with Atlas, but Keeley refuses and takes his squadron out to battle. Atlas arrives to battle Keeley's squadron, and when Astro confronts him about the attacks, Atlas claims he never attacked the stations; he had come because he had heard the humans were seeking him out. He instead decides to battle Astro instead, but Livian, who was watching their encounter, begs Astro not to fight Atlas, as the two are actually brothers; Atlas and Astro were born of the same template. Astro is shocked, and Atlas goads him into joining him, knowing the truth, but Astro can't bring himself to do so. Astro has a flashback of all of their previous encounters, and he begs Atlas to make the right choice. Keeley finds Astro, and reveals his key weapon: a laser that can damage Atlas's Omega Factor. Astro rushes to find Atlas to warn him about Keeley, but Atlas refuses to run; Keeley finds Atlas and shoots him with the laser, despite Astro's begging him not to. The invaders reveal themselves, and destroy most of Keeley's squadron. Back on Earth, Dr. Elefun studies the footage of the invaders, deducing that Atlas was telling the truth. Astro tells him that he and Atlas are brothers; Dr. Elefun recalls the theft of Astro's plans and realizes Astro is correct. Meanwhile, the WDF calls an emergency meeting to strategize a plan on stopping the invaders, who are heading straight for Earth. Keeley's squadron rush back to Earth, and Astro rushes to the rescue of many civilians until he collapses from energy exhaustion. He is found and brought to an emergency shelter with Elefun. Keeley contacts him and tells him that an invader squadron is coming from Saturn, and he confesses he was wrong about Atlas. Astro swears that he will protect all those that he knows and loves, and rushes to find Atlas to reason with him again. He gets ambushed by invaders, but Atlas finds him. Astro begs Atlas to help the humans fight the invaders, but Atlas stubbornly refuses, claiming he hopes all of the humans die. Astro rebuffs him by saying that not all humans are bad, and that many are good and kind, and see past Astro being a robot. Livian reasons with Atlas, saying that Astro fights out of love and not out of hatred, but Atlas thinks he is foolish. He tells Astro to tell the humans "Perish!", but Livian shows Atlas the battle between Keeley's squadron and the invaders. Keeley sacrifices himself to destroy several invaders, and Atlas joins the fray, destroying many more invaders. They find the invader's base, and Atlas warns Astro not to join, and tells him that they are truly brothers after all. Livian stays with Atlas, out of love, and the two give their lives to pull the entire base and the invader squadron out into deep space. Astro is heartbroken by his brother's sacrifice.

Rage of the Sphinx

Atom and Nuka

In a prologue, Astro Boy's creator Osamu Tezuka reveals a little secret about the robot boy: That his legs are actually those of a robot girl. The backstory behind this fact, the plot of this episode, is that Astro Boy is tasked to retrieve one of his own blueprint templates from a military fortress of the Grota Republic. He meets and bonds with Nuka (Nikki in the American dub), a sentient robot girl built from his very template, which unfortunately incorporates a neutron bomb, and in order to stop the bomb, the two robot children have to make a costly sacrifice: she must be completely dismantled in order to stop the bomb. Astro, having fallen in love with Nikki, stays with her till the very end. All that is left of her are her legs, which Astro takes to Dr. Elefun and asks him to switch his legs with hers, so that she could be a part of him forever. Elefun fulfills his request, and Astro happily takes off on more adventures. (Source: Wikipedia)
