Awesome / Astro Boy: Omega Factor

Go To

  • Wally outing Rock as "Deadcross" during his inaugural speech to the Antarctic. The international police come to cuff him only for it to turn into an all-out showdown between him and Astro.
  • The World's Strongest Robots standing up to Blue Knight for Astro after he spared their lives in battle, a gesture that convinced Blue Knight that he must give Astro the chance to restore peace between humans and robots.
  • Sherlock Homespun, who himself is no fan of robots nevertheless aids Astro in the rescue of Pinoko, who was being held hostage to blackmail Dr. Black Jack. Disguised as Hamegg, he gets the jump on her captors, allowing Astro to rescue her and free the doctor from the real Hamegg's grip; Realizing the entire scheme was engineered by Sharaku to prevent the doctor from operating on Drake's sick daughter, Astro initiates a mission to save Prime Rose before Drake realizes his goal to destroy robotkind.
  • Astro and Nuka's Heroic Sacrifice to save Earth when the sun is infected by the highly-lethal Omotenium; even after she has been blown to pieces, Nuka still retains enough of her consciousness to activate the control mechanism needed to stop its deadly effects, and Astro flies towards the sun at top speed, laying down his own life for humans and robots alike. For their brave actions, the Phoenix reappears and restores them to life.
  • Black Jack's Patrick Stewart Speech to Dr. Tenma:
    Black Jack: I don't know who you are, but I don't think you know what being human really is. Humans can be weak... yet because of this, we can feel kindness and sorrow. That's what makes us different from robots.
  • Astro stopping cold Atlas's attempt to break him through words in their last confrontation.
    Astro Boy: Enough, Atlas! I have a very important mission I have to accomplish! I fight for a future of peace between humanity and robots!
    Atlas: Ha ha ha. You imagine a dream world. One that will never exist. First of all, that's not what you were built for. Do you know what your true purpose in life was for, Astro? You were created as a replacement for Doctor Tenma's late son, Tobio. You're just a fake created to help him forget his loss! But he couldn't truly love a robot as a replacement for his son. So he abandoned you.
    Astro Boy: He didn't abandon me!
    Atlas: What?!
    Astro Boy: I finally realized it. My father, Doctor Tenma, let me go to test me! It's because he believes in me! Atlas, you are nothing but my shadow! And I will defeat you! You've been drowning in your own sorrow for far too long to be rescued. I shall defeat you... my dark shadow!
    Atlas: (furiously) ASTRO!
  • Astro's final battle with Sharaku, during which the conqueror of Mu revives many of Astro's enemies from previous battles to do endless battle against him, only for Pluto, Blue Knight, and Atlas to come to his aid and allow him to confront his enemy at Death Mask itself.
