      Just how much is Pluto based on Astro Boy? Did Osamu Tezuka write it, or did Naoki Urasawa adapt his writing?

        I think it's just the settings of the original story - wasn't Gesicht only minor character in it?

            Seems loosely based on the Astro Boy arc, "The Biggest Robot on Earth". It has a few of the characters from it, but it is completely Urasawa's otherwise. As Stephen said, it's like Monster with robots. I like it a lot so far… Atom is the coolest with Urasawa's art :lol:

            Naoki Urasawa recently received the Grand Prize award from Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize for Pluto too.

              I never got the whole "Astro Boy" thing. It just seems like Monster with robots to me….

                I don't really know anything about Astro Boy, really. But I'm reading Pluto, so I was wondering about it.
                So basically, Urasawa took some of Tezuka's characters and created a sort-of-spin-off with the thread of a storyline in Astro Boy?

                  Yeah ive read that whole arc…

                  Theres like 7 guardian robots from all over the world so Pluto tries to destory them all and he does leaving Astro Boy having to stop him.
                  So Astro Boy gets his horsepower up to 1 million and he fights him and beats him. I'm pretty sure its Volume 2 i believe.

                    The deluxe edition for Volume 1 comes wrapped together with a book containing the original story. It sure beats the extra for Volume 2, which is… stickers.

                    /me has both deluxe and regular editions.

                      Yeah, it's based off of the "World's Strongest Robot" arc in Astro Boy's Shonen Magazine version. Interesting tidbit: When the arc was originally serialized in the 60's in Shonen Mag. Pluto was called "Satan" but the name changed after it was brought to tankouban.
