Atroboy's charactistics: physical, emotional, intellectual, etc.

Love the episode where Astroboy was allowed to experienced fear. I am sorry that people have so many problems.

Ehhh, I always found that part of the old series contradictory.
If Astro was so devoid of fear previously, why was he able to experience loss?
Why was he sympathetic to those who were frightened, and why was he compelled to remove them from danger? Why did he dodge death ray trajectories?
Meh, my worthless opinion at work.....

Thanks Munquibyte, i hope it was because he was able to learn more and more how to care, even if he was a robot boy, yet one with a caring heart. That was his greatest power, caring. Praying you the very best, your friend, Toni.

Hi- How fast is Astroboy?

[tonigirl1000]

Thanks, how much can Astroboy withstand before he is hurt? Thanks

[tonigirl1000]

Please what is Astroboy's learning abilities? Thanks

There are no fewer than 3 Astroboys:

1. manga
2. 1963 anime
3. 1980 anime
4. 2003 anime
5. etc

Moreover, in the manga, there were different publications, and he was portrayed differently even in the same publication.

But to simplify the answer, until the 2003 series, I would rate his learning abilty as similar to a child aged 9-12. In 2003, they depicted him as having much greater learning speed than a human.

This also varies, and even more than his ability to learn, because sometimes he crashes through steel, concrete, etc, with no damage, while other times, he dents his noggin just from landing on the beach:



Sea Serpent Island

Thanks, then please how was he able to do those mathematical problems, i seen on the 1963 series unless you mean a child with the abilities of a Jimmy Neutron? Thanks
PS- The 2003 series came much closer to his learning abilities, thanks.

Thanks, then Astroboy has no type of defense shield that helps him withstand attacks then? Or a new type of skin based on very advanced studies in science? Thanks
