"We should not make robots anymore similar to humans or else the consequences would be terrible."

Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma’am can pretty much sum up my sentiments to jam-packed volume. All the magic that got me addicted to this manga is still there and so many plot twist from left and right that I forgot what is reality and fiction for a bit. Hehe.
Naoki Urasawa hits for the jugular by using that whole subplot of a Robot dog that Professor Ochanomizu attempts to save only that it ultimately blows up in our faces when the owner has cruel intentions and fighting occurs. In a brilliant way it allows the audience to be distracted while the real action occurs elsewhere.
Unfortunately for Atom we get to witness the death of this peaceful robot. I figured that surprise volumes ago and yet I was still excited for this ride because it makes you wonder if Atom could not survive the battle then what is the hope for the future for our fellow robots? If Atom turns evil then my love and appreciation for this manga will soar through the roof.
I keep forgetting that this manga is based off from Astroboy and I love that I don’t know much about the manga or television series because the element of surprise is crucial for these upcoming volumes. Also we get to finally see Professor Tenma and I wonder if he will be able to resurrect Atom.
As these series progresses we are getting major revelations and bigger questions and I love that mystery aspect of the manga. I would be perfectly fine for the final volume to reveal the reality and the consequences of these robots and world that created them. Also this whole robots not being connected to a server or A.I. legit scares the living daylights out of me cause then who is commanding Pluto?

Me pregunto si no hubiera sido mejor haber leído Astro Boy antes de haber leído este manga, aún así la historia acá no necesita la anterior, pero creo que ciertos eventos y ciertas muertes tendrían mayo peso en caso de conocer la historia anterior. Por otra parte me gusta mucho la paranoia con la que desarrollan a Adolf, y bueno la historia en general también.

It is SO annoying to have characters warn other characters about danger...and then those warnings just get ignored. The first third of this volume was very frustrating. The rest was more of the same as the first 3 volumes.
