Description
Atom is just born, as Tobio, a new son for Tenma. But his colleagues don't approve all this. Some of them tell him to shut this 'monster' down, some of them call him a fool, some of them tell him he's crazy for playing God... but he sends them all to the Hell, and tries to protect his son from those bad voices.And Atom does not understand their words, but feels that something is wrong around him, and tries to hide, in his father's long coat.
The only scientist that does not hate this new born kid and his father is doctor Ochanomizu; he knows this can't be good: Tobio won't come back and this robot is a different being. But he says to his colleagues that destroying that boy would be as a killing a new born baby. It's too late: let him live, let his father have his son again.
Freely taken from "The secret of Atom's birth".

You know, Tenma has got a mad idea, and the fact the made it for real, is even more mad!
But he's also a father who lost his only son, after his beloved wife... the only creatures were important for him in the world.
In every version of the story, it's a problem he activated this new robot. Above all, in 1980s series, he was clearly forbidden to complete the Tobio project. But he could not accept it.
So, I imagine him not really alone in his laboratories. He was alone just when Atom woke up. It's a real challenge: will someone try to harm this new creature?
The only one who does not want to "kill the monster" is Ochoanomizu. He allows Tenma and his new son to leave.
Atom is like a new born kid. The only words he knows are "father" and "Tobio": his whole world. So this situation is odd and he feels uneasy. He feels a lot, but by now it does not mean too much for him. The only safe place are his father's arms.

Yes, i remember the 1980's first episode. Really sad how people think if something had more power than 'them', they automatically consider it dangerous. In this case, Atom (Astro).
Also, just a few days ago, i found this picture (possibly from the 1980's series)- of Tobio and a girl.Image ย ย ย I'm guessing the girl is Tobio's mother, but i'm not for-sure. I've never seen this episode. Have you? & if you have, could you please tell me the name?!ย ย
I Also Found This One.ย Image2

Well, in 1980s series the prototype before the Tobio project was really dangerous: it got on fire and exploded.
Then, when Tobio gave his father the good hint, to make a smaller robot and a kid-robot, this robot was already equipped with many weapons, a strong armour under his robotic skin and a powerful electronic brain.
Tenma was the only one who thought his "son" would not be dangerous.
And he did not know his robot's connections with Walpurgis's one. In reality, Tobio-robot WAS a bit out of control... it was not Tenma's fault though; someone stole his blueprints, and maybe he did not know.
Tenma made his new creature with the best techniques ever, and the best of love he could. He could not think his robot son would be dangerous.
But imagine all other people around him; the female assistant, in the tank, tells him clear: "He can be cute and everything, but he's still a powerful machine and a machine which has got dangerous weapons!"
I don't know anything about the images you linked, but I am sure they don't belong to the 1980s series: I saw that series many times and I can tell you.
You know that Tezuka loved to use again and again his characters as they were actors. I know that Astro/Atom's look was given many times to many other kids in Tezuka's stories; the same for Tenma. So, she can be his wife Hoshiie, or another woman, as he is not Tenma and the kid is not Tobio.
I know, for an example, there's a story where Atom is called Adam; in "Merumo" and in "Jetter Mars" we see Tenma again, even if the drawing style is deeply different.
And, in the pictures you linked, Tenma wears a knight-armour, or a robot-armour... this is totally new for me. I don't really know what's all about. The only thing I know that characters "played by Tenma" very often share the same sad story of a dead family in their past.

ya, that was the first episode ย of the 1980's series.ย
but, in the previous comment, you said something about Tenmas wife dying. Know, of-course i knew Tenma had a wife, cause, well, you know what i mean.ย ย ... But iv'e never read or watched anything that had to do with the "Mother" so, that's why i ask you. XD
Ya, i wasn't for-sure what the pic with Tenma wairing that blue armor-
I'm guessing its from an episode only able to be viewed in Japan-... there's a few of those...
Also,ย
ย happy birthday

Thank you for your wishes
Yep, there are many original movies, short and full lenght ones, that can't be seen out of Japan. I tried to watch some on Tudou (the Chinese YouTube) but it's hard to see it watch properly. And when it works, you've got to follow the Japanese dubbing and the Chinese subbing.
However, I am always interested in anything involving doctor Tenma.
A real story about Tenma's dead wife is clear only in the 1980 American comic's version, wher Tenma is called Boynton: we see him in a very dramatic scene, when he watches a home-video about a holiday at the seaside, where his wife and their son played happily in the sand. And Boynton watches this video again and again obsessively...
The reference about Hoshiie, in Japanese versions, are really few and rare.
The only thing they all share is a fact: Tobio does not resamble his big nosed dad, if only for some details in hair shape and color. Tobio, and then Astro/Atom, took a lot from her. That has to be really painful for his father, I bet.
The different version of the story, give a different explanation about Hoshiie's death. In one, we know she was really ill, but his husband did not notice it, as he was workaholic; another one shows a really bad Tenma, always violent and drunken over his wife...

Oh, epic. I love it a lot. Got inspired from the secret birth of astro boy, huh?

Atom is like a new born kid. He started right now. The only words he knows are "father" and "Tobio". His name and his father: his whole world. So this situation is odd and he feels uneasy. He's a white page.
Yes, the scene is shaped on one of the last scenes in "The secret of Atom's birth".
The "Go to the Hell!"ย thing is taken from 1980s series, yes. I really like to see Tenma sending to that planet all those old morons! :-D
It's a great father-son thing. Very touching.
The scent thing, instead, is taken from one of the two fan-fictions I read: "A winter wish", if I remember correctly, where Atom reminds about his first memories and one of these was he could smell, he was under his father's coat, and he could learly feel the anger and the hatred in those unknown voices.
He finds out he can smell, and the first scent is his father's. It's a great father-son bond. It's very touching.
The only one who does not want to "kill the monster" is Ochoanomizu. He allows Tenma and his new son to leave.

Yes. I don't really remember about the 80's version, but as far as I recall, Atom's first word when he was first born in all versions was his father (that's sweet I guess ) until Tenma taught him everything about all lessons. I always felt it was Too bad his father became his enemy in the 03's version.
I agree about Ochanomizu. He seemingly always supported Tenma in Akira Himekawa version, like a good friend of him. But I also like their bad relationship in 03's version, especially when it came about Atom, talking and arguing about what's good for their dear robot boy 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
In the 1980s series here he comes to Tenma's laboratory the Prime Minister, and orders him to stop his work on the boy-robot. Tenma tries to explain his own reasons, but the Minister says no.
So, I imagined Tenma in a precise gesture, as he was throwing a crumpled paper over his own shoulders, and saying: "Andate a quel paese!". It's a scene never seen in the series, to tell you the truth, but I thought it fits with that atmosphere.
In 2003s anime and in the 2003s comic, Tenma becomes cool as a machine, more cold than his own creature. His robot boy has got a great heart, while he wants to hide his own. So his actions are logic, strictly: "You are the ultimate robot, so you have to prove it, and I'll help you to show your potential. If you'll fail, it means you were not that state of art robot. But if you succeed, your destiny is to rule the world, as king of robots, and humans's time is over."
He tried to erase the father side in himself.
Then, when erased Atom's memory, it was his last chance to gain control on his own creature. It was not love, of course; Tenma seems to not be able to love properly... there are persons who can't show their feelings like others, that is too real.
His only way was the technical way: repair the boy and keeping him, as it happened at the beginning: the world was only father and son.
When Ranpu launched that last missile and Atom protected Robotonia, exploding with the bomb, we see the real heart that Tenma tried to hide. And it breaks when Atom hugs him, in the last scenes in Level 7.
I can't see Tenma as an enemy. His actions are despicable, he puts real tortures on his son... but I also see a lonely man, hated by humans, abandoned by robots he created and loved. Desperate, in a word.
In the comic, Ochanomizu finds Atom thrown away, as a piece of junk; in the anime, Tenma kept him in a high-tech box. He put his best in that tiny robot. I found it strange to see Atom left as rusty scrap metal...
Tenma IS a bit mad... but I think it's that enormous grief that made him like that. His personality was not easy, and losing her wife and his son was too much. All the world seems to be against him, in a point. And he rebels.
I think the most terrible and like-a-nightmare Tenma's version is the original from the comic.
When 1950s Tenma returns himself, he rejects Atom: he hits him on head, he almost kicks him away from his sight, he sells him.
Then, when times passes, he writes a letter to him, saying sorry... but his son is already traumaticized, and being rejected, for Atom, has been worse than the circus..
In the original comic we once see young Ochanomizu, when Atom falls in the past (in 1960s). But we know nothing about Tenma.
In a fan-fiction, I read about Tenma's family. It could be interesting.
The author's idea was a sorta of farm of horseradish (a word that is a joke in English, but it's lost in Italian, and maybe in all other language different from English...) ruled by Tenma's family. I thought, instead, about an ancient horse breeders family, almost aristrocratic, strict, far from the real world.
TEN is SKY and MA is HORSE. That's why his name could be "Heavenly Horse" or "Pegasus", or even "Centaur". I don't imagine an horseradish, thinking about a word like "ten ma".
It could be very cool to know where and how they first met. Tenma seems younger than Ochanomizu. A genius and an experienced scientist. With two deeply different personalities. They worked side by side... that could be great to see.

I took some ideas from the two fan-fiction I read, then I mixed with the great scene in the special movie (Tenma walking in the middle of two angry wings of staring eyes, trying to protect his new son under that little protection... creepy!).
I tried to make this drawing twice, and maybe someday I'll try to draw it again.
Atom's first memory after his birth is made of all those angry voices, and fear, plus the warm hug of his father, trying to cover him under that little protection. Atom here realizes he can smell his father's scent in that coat. It's a great father-son thing. Very touching.
I hope this memory is not gone, when Tenma changed his mind and decided to shut him down. ._.

I had a feeling you were inspired by the 80s series.
It would be sad if he didn't remember this. Although at the same time, it would be sad if he remembers this after being rejected. He'd be very confused

The "Go to the Hell!" is taken from 1980s series, yes.
But the scene is shaped on one of the last scenes in "The secret of Atom's birth".
The scent thing, instead, is taken from one of the two fan-fiction I read: "A winter wish", if I remember correctly. Atom reminds about his first memories and one of these was he could smell. And he was under his father's coat.
I think Atom IS a bit confused: in his mind there are lots of memories he does not feel as his own. But they are: Tobio's ones and his first life's. His life as Tobio left some tracks, it left aftermaths. So maybe he can find them and recall them back again.
That's why he needs answers: he has got too many opposite data in his mind, and if he was not that advanced, he could go crazy very soon! '-'

I love how the color stands out. Very beautiful art work!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thank you!
I always try to not put colors too similar too close from each other. In this case, scientists' coats were a problem. But I think I solved it.
And the most marked thing had to be Tenma's coat, his dark colors and Atom's eyes: the new Tobio does not understand scientists' words around him, but feels that they are not kind, and he feels fear for the first time in his life... not even getting clearly what it's happening.
This scene in the special movie was great, darker... and creepy.

When I watched the Japanese first 2003 volume, when atom had being revide to life by ochanoimizu. Later when atom was awake, some scenicist didn't find atom a ultra super robot, they saw he was a kid. But that was kinda interesting the only person sees is ochanoimizu. But atom in that picture is like a new born baby, and felt sorry that he didn't understand what the scientists say to the boy. I really like the idea you put in picture.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
The only words Atom knew at this time were "Father" and "Tobio". His Dad and himself.
Then Tenma will teach him to walk properly, to talk, to care of himself and to be a real son for him. But now creator and creature are in bad bad situation. They have to run, if they don't want to be lynched by the crowd.
They could be all scientists but hatred can do such things; father and son are in real danger now.
Atom's first memory after his birth is made of all those angry voices, and fear, plus the warm hug of his father, trying to cover him under that little protection. Atom here realizes he can smell his father's scent in that coat. It's a great father-son thing. Very touching.
I hope this memory is not gone, when Tenma changed his mind and decided to shut him down. ._.

born like a new born baby, ..well his mind does.
but still looks like a 9 year old boy, here's a thought i wonder how fast he learn's his knowledge to go all the way to a same mind level between a 9 year old mind. but i geuss he;s way smarter then 9 year old in later series.
but anyway well i dont think his momory is gone, in the seris he does not think about in a reson, he Dream's it i suppose. -_- yeah lets hope that memory wont be gone. ย
i think what you said was touching, like his first suroundigs, the smell, what he saw, the touch. that must be an intresting dream, to think back the past.

At the beginning, Atom is with no data, no memory, but based on Tobio's behavior and he has got, someway, the boy's memories. But in his first moment, he does not search in his memories; he's also totally ready to learn, and he will learn very fast, and I think it would take a couple of hours to reach his model's level. He's got the shape of a boy, but his mind is the best technology available, so he can already do things humans can't. He just does not know he can.
That's why he has to be taught, and in his first life, Tenma did it: he taught him how to take care of himself, how to recharge, how to move and how to control his strenght. Maybe he did not tell him he was all equipped with all those weapons. But I bet he told his son he was a robot and not a human, he did not hide the truth.
When Atom is activated for the second time, as a new-born baby again, Ochanomizu treats him like a child, a baby child, making him playing with kids's toys. But he will learn in no time how to talk and how to... break the rules!
We don't know in details what really happens the third time, when Tenma repairs him and keeps him at home; maybe he teaches his son again all the basis, but he does not allow him to put a foot out of their house. And this is very bad: if you want to raise a son, artificial or not, you can't keep him in a small box, with the excuse you've to protect him. Tenma was not only protecting his son, he was protecting himself, because he had no place to go and no-one waiting for him anywhere. He had only his son binding him to the world, and he made the impossible to keep him close... but it could not last long.
In this case, memory came back, and all the data about his other lives returned to Atom; that's why Ochanomizu had to take him to his lab and check him up: maybe they were too many and too much in few seconds.
He may be shaped like a 9 year old boy, and the basic program is this. But Atom soon evolved in another way, he is not really a 9 year old boy. If he wants, he can ignore his program, and he can be cool as any normal machine, or he can be kind and rich in feelings as we know him.
He can do all this since his first activation moment. His potential was ready from his first sight to the world. Maybe it is for this that other scientists want him deactivated as soon as possible. But if they did it, they would kill not only the boy but also the father...
