I think it was the episode where Astro gets a girl robot's legs. This is 30 years ago, so I could easily be mistaken. I need to collate my scripts with the DVDs.
Yep Tezuka was in the last episode but it was cut from the broadcast but was still an exrta in the MangaDVD set.

As for the merged episodes the Atlas plot was epic and verry violent to so it got cut but doesn't make much sense since they din't edit any other violent scenes later on.
And it messes up the plot so greatly, the most hilarous thing of that was a short flashback they put in a few episodes later because if you have only seen that part it doesn't even make sense your like WTF just happned :confused: also you don't really get Atlas motivations for attacking

I think personally the only reason for messing up the plot so much was because they wanted to cut out all more violent scenes but realised it just woudn't fit together that way it's almost like 4kids with One Piece if you really wanna go that far.
