#world famous robotic genius who created the most advanced AI and most powerful compact engine powered by mini black holes

[puniper]

i think one of my favourite bits of trivia about astro boy is that the three laws of robotics don't exist because Asimov's books were published around the same time Tezuka wrote Ambassador Atom, and he had so many people asking him if he had taken inspiration from his books that he had to make an afterword in one of the chapters clarifying he had no idea who that was or what the books were about which is why in astro boy, robots really have no issue harming and killing humans

anyways I bring this up because I just think it's funny that you could canonically ask Tenma what the three laws of robotics are and he'd probably say 'fuck if i know'
