1. Birth of Astro Boy– : The story takes place in Metro City, circa 2000 A.D. Young Aster Boytonn (the son of Dr. Boytonn) ends up dying in a hideous car crash. His father is left grief-stricken and plans on resolving his loss by creating a robot

 that looks like his son. Though the rest of the Ministry of Science is unsure of this plan (some thinking he's insane), they go along with it. Over a year, his creation is assembled and named "Astro Boy". The next morning, Astro begins to adjust to life with Dr. Boytonn. After some time, it becomes clear that Astro isn't like Aster. Because of this, his father sells him to Mr. Cacciatore, the cruel ringmaster

Cacciatore, however, shows that his robot licenses say that there's nothing wrong with robots fighting each other. Astro fights valiantly and discovers some of his abilities: super strength and flight. Using these abilities, he is able to defeat Z.O.G, but he refuses to kill him. Later that night, Cacciatore punishes him by cutting off his power supply from any recharge

The robots quickly find and rescue everyone, save for Cacciatore. Astro re-enters the building to save him and discovers another ability: super hearing. Using his new skill, he saves Cacciatore from certain death. Later, at a hospital, Astro is liberated from Cacciatore when Dr. Elefun shows that robots are finally free from slavery. Having been beaten, Cacciatore cries in defeat as Dr. Elefun and Astro leave.

2. Frankenstein (English Title: Colosso)– : The story begins in a robot factory. After an explanation as to how robots have begun to outnumber humans, the factory boss decides to put some robots on the line to make up for worker shortage.

) stealing several jewels. Astro is once again blamed by Inspector Gumshoe and Monk. Back at their hideout, the mobsters get shares of the loot. The Big Boss decides to take the big pieces and gives only fractions of one diamond to the other mobsters. At Astro's trial, Astro is saved by Dr. Elefun, who points out that Colosso is still on the loose. Later, Dr. Elefun devises a plan to capture Colosso. Going on a cruise ship with a pile of rocks (claiming it's a diamond), Dr. Elefun is soon attacked by Colosso and Astro comes to save him. The battle on the ship causes serious damage to the ship's hull, which culminates with Astro dropping Colosso from a precarious height. Colosso survives the fall, but passes out in a lighthouse

Astro quickly defeats the Big Boss and his minions and they are arrested. Astro is rewarded for his heroism with his recently completed parents. Colosso is repaired and sent on his mission to work at an outpost in outer space as Astro and Monk bid him farewell.
