So we've already discussed here that in Japan, we more or less see Tobio getting wiped out by the truck.

Moving beyond that, though..... elsewhere in that episode, we see Tenma chatting at an assembly line with a sort of "Astro 1.0", his first attempt at re-creating his son. Astro gets really mad that Tenma wants to disassemble robots, so he does this long slow jump towards the screen... and... uh... then suddenly he's lying in the middle of a huge wrecked crater and his eyes are glowing red. And Tenma's all horrified and erases his memory almost immediately after.

What's supposed to be there?

Either on Kids WB and Cartoonetwork, they never showed it.
On Kids WB, they showed just about half of them, and on Cartoonetwork, I believe they showed around 5 episodes.

The Japanese version was about the same. Astro 1.0 or Tobio, as Tenma calls him, gets angry at Tenma for scrapping his friend the nanny robot. Thinking that maybe Tenma might turn on him, he starts trashing the place in a rage, his eyes glow red, but then he calms down and realizes that he went to far. So he slowly approaches Tenma with a remorseful look and says "I'm sorry" Awww, forgive him Tenma. But no, Tenma shuts down Astro with a horrible metal neck ring (very sad scene, poor Astro) and goes nuts and proceeds to burn the place down. Astro miraculuosly survives and O'shay activates him again, as in episode 1.

I love how Astro tells off Tenma after the flashback. Saying, reffering to the neck ring: "Are you gonna use that thing on me again?" and then "You don't love me. Tobio, Tobio's stand-in Roboto, and now me. YOU DON'T LOVE ANYONE!" You tell him Astro.

But then the scene right after that is the most touching. Astro slowly approaches Tenma again, giving him one more chance. Astro says: "Wait, you said you love me." Then Astro slowly hugs Tenma. Then Tenma starts crying like a baby and falls to his knees and hugs Astro. Awww That and the scene in a few episodes back when Astor's sister Uran(pronouced Oorahhn, for those new to Astro/Atomu) cried in O'shays arms are great releases of tension, what a relief, made me feel good.

Astro says: "Wait, you said you love me."

Chinese edition:Astro says: " Dad, you mustn't die . "

"Wait, you said you love me."
" Dad, you mustn't die . "

Which one is better?

I love that scene! Even if I don't like the 2003 series that much, it's my favorite Astro scene ever! I'll check to see exactly what is said in the French version.

I am back!

About that horrible neck ring, I recall seeing something like it on both LIS & Star Trek.

:wahah:
How are you feeling?

Astro: Doctor...a neck ring? You could have tried something less mean looking like a shocking mechanical spider or a golden lasso or a glowing rock or a pair of Jordie La Forge glasses or..."

Tenma: Quiet! You're not the director!

"ZAAAAAAAAAAAAP!"

Director: Cut! Cut!....What is that?

Tenma: A phaser from that television show "V"

Astro: Well that was cool.

Director: That wasn't in the script!

Astro and Tenma look at each other...

"ZAAAAAAAAAAAAP!"

Astro: That's what we get for hiring Spielberg. Want some coffee doc?

Tenma: Don't mind if I do.


The ending however was wonderful

You think Bruno is *less* mean-looking than the neck ring?
