First time hearing Boy's Heart almost made me cry. Maybe it did once, but I was also suffering from depression at the time. Hearing the Korean Boy's Heart also made me feel somewhat the same way.

...And the ending of Astro Boy: Omega Factor almost brought tears, but it didn't.

I guess I'm just not the kind of person to cry over episodes or songs.

Ah yes, the ending to Astro Boy Omega Factor. I had to get away from the GBA for a few minutes halfway through cause my eyes were too wet for me to keep reading. >_> Oh geez, I'm such a crybaby.
I'm on Twitter.

There are a bunch of things that made me sad:

The end of omega factor (sad)

In the '80s series: Astro loses Nikki(kinda sad)

In the '03 series: Both subbed and dubbed episode 50(pretty sad)

In the '09 movie: I was sad that it wasn't better.

In the Pluto manga: When Atom dies, when O'shay trys fixing the robot dog, when other robots died except for North No. 2

These made me sad, but I never cried :shifty:

Ohhh man....he can get to me like no other fictional character, but here are my biggies:

1. (1960's) When Tenma (Boynton) signs him away to the circus, and he's pleading with his father. :(

2. (1960's) When Dr. Elefun presumes Astro is gone forever and he places his body in the Robot Hall of Fame, then cries his heart out. :unsure: :(

3. (1980's) When Hamegg stuffs the poor little guy in that trunk and he's calling weakly for his dad, and meanwhile Tenma (Boynton) realizes what a JERK :mad: he's been and is scrambling all over the boat trying to find his son. :d oh: :(

4. 1980's - Nikki and Astro -- need I say more? :o hmy: :cry:

5. 2003 - When he cries out in utter frustration at the robot/human conflict: "oh, when are we going to stop fighting" or something like that. :cry:

6. 2003 - The "I forgive you" scene; and Tenma "giving" Astro to O'Shay ("we both know you've always been a better father...") :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

7. 2003 - Final episode, Astro sitting, reflecting on how peace has been achieved, and his friends call him . . . he turns, wiping away his tears OMG -- :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

8. Movie - the whole deactivation/reactivation scene. OMG my husband grabbed my hand in the theater, we were BOTH tearing up!! :astro: :wub:

I don't play any games, but can you share what it is that happens at the end that is so emotionally charged?

I was emotionally moved by the end of Omega Factor because I thought they were both going to die, and it seemed befitting to have it with Astro flying into the sun like he had in the 1960 anime.

OH YEAH -- THAT WAS ANOTHER HUGE TEAR-JERKING EPISODE -- the ultimate really. So you play this whole game and Astro DIES?? awww that would make me SOOOO angry! :d oh:

My husband's late father was about as bad as Tenma, so Astro Boy is almost TOO MUCH for him. :cry:

Yeah but Omega factor is a good game, it's worth buying the gameboy advance to play it. =3

And aw honey :cry: be sure to bake him some cookies.

Oh and another thing I find sad is Tobio's death in all versions...except B&W some reason that was just funny! XD I mean his cap half off while he was driving, Tobio looked drunk!

I felt really bad for Tenma when he cries out while holding Tobio's dead body in the '03 series.

Also, I liked the scene when Tenma promises Tobio that he'd build a robot just like him after the crash in the '80s series.
