If he did, he would be the second robot to kill a person, the first is tied up deep in prison. A large subplot also follows whether or not Gesicht killed a human previously (and had his memory wiped).
Abullah is the head of the Thracian Ministry of Science whose body has been partially replaced with robotic parts.Īs there gets to be some human deaths in addition to the robot deaths, the war in Thracia is suspected as being a cause and the various robot specialists and robots must determine who is responsible and stop them. Here Tenma is a bit of a renegade who is willing to work with almost anyone, regardless of their side. Doctor Tenma is the genius who created Atom as a replacement for his lost son, but rejects him when Tenma realizes that there is no replacement for a lost son. Professor Ochanomizu is the head of the Japanese Ministry of Science and is the person overseeing Atom (Astro Boy). We also are introduced to several of the great robot inventors who are responsible for the great robots. It’s not known why, but it is assumed to be a signature of the killing robot.
One major clue that is being investigated is that after the robots are killed, they are left with horns on their head. As Gesicht does his investigation, we learn about all the other great robots and also about the war in Thracia. One of the great robots is a Europol detective named Gesicht, who leads the story through the first half as we learn the characters and the setting.
One by one, these great robots are being killed. Years ago, there was a war in the United States of Thracia and several of the greatest robots in the world were involved. Not having read the original story, I couldn’t tell you who did it better, by Urasawa’s take is amazing and wonderful. Pluto is Naoki Urasawa’s homage to Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy and a retelling of Tezuka’s Astro Boy story The Greatest Robot on Earth. Finally I decided to do so, but with a short series (and by short, I mean 8 volumes where each volume is about 200 pages) by one of the premier manga creators Naoki Urasawa. I know several people who are into it and, despite their recommendations, I had never bit the bullet and jumped in.
