whats your favariot character in astro boy?
Astro and Tobio are clearly distinct characters. They could probably hardly be nearer one from another than twins. Or maybe their relation could be one of a ghola with his/her original. Gholas in general present an interesting identity problem, especially when they recover the memories of their original
The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

I wonder what they would have thought of each other if they could have met.
How would you classify the distinction between human Daichi & the Daichi?
Or the Human Tommy & the robot Tommy (the lever in the robot rocket)?
With regards to the 2003 version,
- Tenma created both Tobio & Daichi using memories from their human counterparts.
- The show depicted Atom experiencing events that were cues to memories from Tobio's life. I do not recall any such depictions of Daichi remembering
Anyway, Seeing how Tenma seemed intent on giving Daichi's dad the oppotunity to do things right, where Tenma had failed, but upon examining Daichi's memories, decided to use the robot to give the man what he really deserved. I think that Tenma created Daichi/Atlas using similar techniques as he used creating Tobio/Atom; however, he built the Atlas feature to give the father what he really deserved.
Could Daichi have turned out good if his father had not continued to be a jerk? I think Atlas would have risen regardless. Daichi was a punk as a human, & as a robot he was all the more a punk. Once he realized that he had both power & no limitations on using it (inability to harm humans) he went mad with power.
But this was the same Daichi as the human, just that he had power. Atom was Tobio, but with both the strengths & weaknesses of a robot (inability to harm humans). He had the bitter memories of Tobio being neglected, of going to the picnic & running the 3-legged race with someone other than papa, etc. Yet Tobio was 5-6 years younger than Daichi, & so had not beocme as bitter as he.
Insufficient data regarding the lever.

I don't remember clearly... Were they memories from Tobio the boy or Tobio the robot? I thought they were from his previous life as a robot.jeffbert wrote:[*]The show depicted Atom experiencing events that were cues to memories from Tobio's life.

For the web site I've classified Daichi/Atlas as one character having two forms (both robot, leaving the human Daichi as a historical comment). I don't think there's enough on the human Daichi to warrant its own page.
I suppose technically it's two characters: the human Daichi and the transforming Daichi/Atlas robot.

I ask this in comparision to your classification of the distinction between Atom & Tobio.

Atlas and Astro are brothers but there so opasite
