In hopes of settling a certain argument, I post this thread. I have included only a very few images, & as such there are big gaps in continuity.














Higeoyaji-sensei has taken his class to see a crash test, though there may be much that has eluded me. Anyway, this robot is designed to fall apart.





His name is Adios, & he was involved in at least 1 earlier episode.










Though Mars can usually fly, it seems he cannot fly out of water.








Here is the family photo of the man's wife & son (whom we were discussing elsewhere).




And the man, himself.






Mars points the finger in accusing of treachery: He has fueled him with knockout fluid.

Devilcat has come to fulfill Tenma's wish.






He is supposed to reprogram Mars to be Tobio.




Though Devilcat seems to have the upper hand--


Adios returns & defeats him.


Now Tenma explains to Mars about his deceased wife & son.


To the tune of DETROIT ROCK CITY











After finishing the story, they part. As I said, there is much more to this episode than what I have represented here, but I wanted to focus on this part.

And I thought that the Atom version of this was depressing enough...

Tezuka was known for sad, even tragic endings.

I haven't seen this episode for quite a while, but I thought he was discharging Mars' energy?
