What if?...

Tenma would continue walking and hiding himself

Here's a question, if Tenma meant so much to Astro in that 80's show when they were seperated, why didn't Astro ever go looking for him?

Edit: And Tenma wouldn't of hid himself, he loved Astro too much for that. In the Japanese dub when he was calling out to find Astro, he said he was his real son or something along those lines. T.T

Hmmmm...good question...well, Astro never truly expressed what he thought of his dad after that incident. If he actually wanted to go with HamEgg, he must have been pretty angry at his father. I wonder if he has changed his opinion about him.

[Astronomical girl]

if you were sold you too wouldn't be on equal terms with your parents either

[Alittleacorn]

Hm, I'm not sure anger had anything to do with it. You see Astro after Tenma shouts at at him and he just appears sad. Perhaps to saw the circus as some place but Hamegg had been very pushy making him sign those papers Astro didn't even know what they were about.

But I think Astro did change his mind afterwards when he was low on energy and Hamegg dragged him away. The poor thing was crying out for his dad to help him ;_; shame it wasn't in the english dub would've made me cry more.

You can see the differences between the two here.

Makes wonder ya know...if Tenma threw himself off the edge of that boat afterwards o_o

I don't see the 80's series as one universe. The first episodes present a view of how Astro could have started his life, but after that episodes could just as well be part of the manga universe and such. I say this because in one episode, it is mentioned Astro was abandoned because he never grew, which didn't happen in that series.

The first anime was also not that concerned with continuity. Astro had a nightmare in episode 2, and yet in a later episode a machine was invented that allowed him to have dreams for the first time.

Well, if I had actually seen the japanese dub my opinion would have changed...

[Astronomical girl]

what if Tenma moved on with live after Tobio died,would he and Hoshie have another child or no?

[Androids101]

If he and Hoshie actually get together, maybe...

[Astronomical girl]

do you think he could and or would? according to the manga she was alive after Tobio died
