I'm done with chapter 23:

Chapter 22: Groundbreaking II

Zircon was walking up the stairs, happy as ever, until she suddenly heard Dr. Tenma’s voice again! *You know that Dr. O’shay was lying to you the whole time, Zircon,* he said. Zircon was shocked and stopped going up the stairs. *You thought trying to forget about me, was the only way to not be so worried? Forgetting never works! Besides, I’ve heard that even people think that you’re too dangerous to be around!* Zircon quickly covered her mouth with both hands. *I will keep getting into your mind, until you’ll soon fork over that jewel! After that, I will take over Metro City, and your life will be ruined forever!* Zircon quickly put her hands over her ears, and started acting depressed. *Please, I just wish this nightmare was over!* she thought severely upset. She quickly ran up the stairs into Astro’s bedroom. Zircon spotted Astro sitting on his bed. He noticed Zircon came into his room in a big hurry. Her eyes were filling up with tears. “I overheard you and Dr. O’shay talking about Dr. Tenma,” Astro said. “It’s a nightmare, Astro!” Zircon said. “I can’t take this anymore! Tenma will never get off my mind! It’s just going to keep bothering me until I’m destroyed!” Still standing, Zircon put her hands over face, and starts crying. Astro was surprisingly shocked, and walks over towards Zircon; trying to calm her down. He put one of his hands on her shoulders, and looked straight at her eyes. “Don’t say that, Zircon,” Astro said. “Dr. Tenma is only doing this so you could give up that jewel on your forehead a lot faster.” Zircon took her hands off of her face, and jerked around to get Astro’s hand off of her shoulder. “I know!” she said loudly. Astro was shocked. He never realized that Zircon all of a sudden gets mad at him. “You’ve told me tons of times, and now I’m getting frustrated from it!” Astro soon gets his confidence back. “What else do you want me to say?” Astro asked. “Doctor, Zoran, and even I, try our best to help keep your mind off of Dr. Tenma! Other than that, we still don’t even know your creator’s name! Not even you can remember it!”

Zircon was shocked. She then sighs and tilted her head down. Astro calms down. “Why can’t you still understand that we’re trying to help you?” Astro asked. “I’m sorry, Astro,” Zircon said. She walked towards her bed, and sits on it. “You don’t seem to know how bad my life has been so far. I can’t remember my creator’s name; Dr. Tenma won’t stop bugging me, and even though this jewel is so powerful, I now realize that people think I’m too dangerous to even be around them.” Zircon stood up and walked over to the window. She did nothing but gazed outside the window, or looked at her reflection. “Where did you get the information about people being afraid of you?” Astro asked. “I heard Dr. Tenma talking to me in my mind while I was going up the stairs,” Zircon said. She then turned to look at Astro. “Astro, I’m really scared. What are we going to do?” Astro walked towards Zircon. Standing behind her, he put his hands on her shoulders. He looked at Zircon’s eyes while she turned her head to look at Astro’s eyes. “We’ll do the best we can, Zircon,” Astro said smiling. “No matter what, Doctor, Zoran, your friends, and I will always be by your side to help defeat him.” Zircon’s frown quickly turns into a happy smile. “Thanks, Astro,” she said. “Let’s just hope we’ll defeat him, for good.” Without interrupting, Dr. O’shay came up the stairs, and overheard Astro’s and Zircon conversation. He smiles and thought, *Sometimes, Astro’s words cheers me up a lot. I’m just glad I have a robot that can create tons of speeches.* Doctor walks towards his bedroom, also carrying a happy mood.

Meanwhile, in Dr. Tenma’s lair, Tenma acting severely upset; mad enough to slam his fists onto a table, and leaving cracks in it. “I was so close!” he yelled. “Those robots I’ve created should’ve been strong enough to destroy Zircon!” Tenma looks at his battle-bot blueprints. He soon had another idea in mind. “Wait a minute, what if I rearrange these blueprints to make something new? I’ll create a robot holding over 30 different abilities, including the ones Astro and maybe even Zircon has! This robot will have 1,000,000 horsepower, multiplying abilities, transformation, and much more! Soon enough, Zircon will have to fork over the jewel!”

Any suggestions?

Partly Off Topic:Tenma never gives up does he?

Well, except from episode 50:The Final Battle, in the series.

This, is different.

This is like showing a full-lenth movie right after the 50th episode.

When it's finished, I could probably get it published right after I get the mistakes out.

Since in the first chapter, he realized that Zircon's jewel holds tons of power, and now, he never gives up until the jewel is in his possession.

Right now, I'm thinking of a trailer for it.

I'll post it in as a script either today, or another time.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Once again a continuation of Tic Tac Astro's story:

First the Trailor:

If I were to make this story a movie, I need to make a trailer.

So, here's the trailer I made, but it's in script form:

Narrator: Everything Astro did to save the world, had finally made his dream come true. A few months has then passed, and a new robot was then awakened by Dr. Tenma; from being lost deep into the ocean. When too much energy was used, the robot malfunctioned, and destroyed Dr. Tenma's lair. And now, Tenma realized that using the robot's power, he could destroy Metro City!

(Area moves to Dr. O'shay's house)

Astro:A robot!

Zoran:How did it get here, Doctor?

Doctor:I don't know, but let me take it to the ministry to awaken it.

(Doctor returns from the ministry)

Doctor:I would like you two to meet, Zircon.

(Astro and Zoran were amazed)

Astro:How did you end up on our front lawn?

Zircon:Somebody awakened me, but that person give me energy I'm not compatible with. He had almost spiky hair on his head, and the same on his chin.

Everyone except Zircon:TENMA!

(Farther in the movie, in Astro's bedroom)

Zircon:I now realize that Dr. Tenma wants to steal this jewel from me. Without it, I'm done for.

Astro:Don't worry, Zircon. Doctor, Zoran, your friends and I will always be by your side to help protect you.

(Zircon smiles)

Narrator:Meanwhile, at Tenma's lair...

Tenma:If an army of battle bots didn't work, I'll create an ultimate robot holding tons of abilities that will force Zircon to fork over the jewel! *laughs evilly*

(Tenma soon sends out the robot while Astro, Zoran, Zircon, Doctor, Alejo, Kennedy, and Abercrombie were outside)

(The robot multipies into multiple robots)

Zircon:Dr. Tenma is creating a huge robot invasion! He's doing it to steal the jewel!

Astro:I'm not going to let him do that!

(A huge battle broke out, but the multiple robots soon snatched everyone into the air, and brung them to Dr. Tenma's lair. Everyone was locked up, except for Zircon)

Tenma:Fork over that jewel, or your friends are history!

Astro:Don't do this, Zircon!

Zoran:We're your friends!

Doctor:He's just doing this for power!

Zircon *mumbles*:I have no choice...

(Screening suddenly blacks out)

Narrator:What choice will Zircon have?

(Screening then shows quick pics after Zircon's decision)

Narrator:Astro Boy:Zircon's Jewel.

Rated "PG" (I made that up...)

That's my trailer.

Reply A.S.A.P for any suggestions!!!

More Story!

Astro thought Zircon had a nightmare, but to Zircon, she had a vision!

Chapter 23: Zircon’s Dr. Tenma Nightmare

It was almost eight o’ clock, and Astro and Zircon were both dressed in their pajamas. “Wow,” Zircon said. “The weekend went by fast.” Astro nodded. “Yeah,” he said. “But don’t bother with it. It’ll come by again in five more days.” Zircon nods and then shows off an “Okay,” smile. Astro turned off the lights, and they both went to sleep.

Things didn’t go very well when Zircon was sleeping. She was tossing, turning, and even shivering. Due to this problem, she must be having a nightmare. In her nightmare, it shows, at first, her outside on a bright, lovely day in Metro City. Suddenly, with quick force, something plucked her jewel right off her forehead! Even though the jewel was off her forehead in her nightmare, she was still alive. *I’m alive?* she thought. Zircon tried to figure out what snagged the jewel of her forehead; she soon spotted one of Dr. Tenma’s robots; known to be a robot dog flying in mid-air. “My jewel! Without it, I can’t use any of my powers!” she yelled. The jewel was taken by the robot dog farther away from Zircon, until all of a sudden, the whole background changed from bright and happy, to cold and dark. Zircon noticed Dr. Tenma appearing in a huge visual television screen. He was wearing some type of emperor, ruler, or king clothes. He also had possession of the jewel that was inserted into his forehead instead of Zircon’s! “Dr. Tenma!” Zircon yelled. She then talks to herself, saying, “This isn’t a dream, it’s a nightmare!” Other than looking at the television screen, she noticed huge armies of battle-bots flying high in the air; destroying houses, stores, and even the Ministry of Science! Dr. Tenma started laughing evilly until Zircon turned around. “Excellent! This robot invasion is all coming to plan! Thanks to me, who created the ultimate robot, I, Dr. Tenma, the supreme ruler, will rename this city, Robot City!” He laughs once more, and Zircon gasped. With quick force, Zircon woke up in an instant.

Astro quickly woke up when he heard Zircon surprisingly awake. She was hyperventilating pretty fast. He got out of his bed and ran towards her bed. “What’s wrong, Zircon?” he asked, putting an arm on her shoulder. “Did you have a nightmare?” Zircon turned to look at Astro. “I don’t think it was a nightmare,” she said. “I think I just had a vision!” Astro was confused. “A vision?” he asked. “Showing what?” “It was showing what Dr. Tenma would do when he finally has the jewel,” said Zircon. “Before he steals it, he going to create a huge, robot invasion, have them snatch all of the citizens of Metro City, and hold them hostage until I fork the jewel over!” Astro took his hand off of Zircon’s shoulder. “What would happen afterwards?” “I’ve got a bad feeling that he’ll start threatening them until he has that jewel,” said Zircon, crossing her arms. “Since he wants the jewel so much, I just know that he’ll start threatening them.” Astro thought for a minute. “Well, there’s probably no way he’d do something like that while we’re at school tomorrow.” “Yeah, I guess you’re right,” said Zircon. “Let’s tell Dr. O’shay about the vision you had in the morning,” said Astro. “But, for now, let’s just get some more sleep.” Zircon nodded. Astro walked over to his bed, in order to turn off the lights, and they both went back to sleep.

UPDATE TIME courtest of Tic Tac Astro

Chapter 24: Dress up!

The next morning, Astro and Zircon got up and got dressed for school. Zircon took a huge glance at the clothes she was wearing. “You know,” she said. “I think I could use a new look other than wearing the same clothes every day.” Astro looked at Zircon. “Well, what kind of clothes would you like to wear?” he said. Zircon thought for a minute. “I feel like wearing something springy,” she said smiling while looking at Astro. “Maybe wearing a sport-type dress would work.” Using her jewel, she instantly changed her normal outfit into a sport dress; it was a red, short dress with the lining just above her knees. Zircon then looked at Astro’s boots. “Maybe I could change the style of my shoes to look like yours,” she said. “It’s going to look a little like yours, but it’ll be cut down to my ankles.” Astro acted confused. “How are you going to do that?” he asked. “Watch closely,” said Zircon. Using the jewel, Zircon scanned Astro’s boots. She created an outline, and cut off some of the parts that weren’t needed. She then fixed the size and shape.

According to what her shoes looked like before; brown shoes with triangular-shaped cutting on the top, she did the same for her new shoes. After she was finished creating her new shoes, she stopped using the jewel’s energy, and instantly, the shoes she created stood right in front of Astro; who was surprisingly amazed! “Wow,” he said. “You didn’t tell me your jewel could that, either.” Zircon smiled as walked towards her new shoes, and put them on. From her view, it had a great style and color that matched her sport dress. “How come you didn’t tell me about this?” She then looks at Astro, and says, “I didn’t know I had this kind of power either. I’ve been here for three days, and I still don’t know how they work yet. Right now, I’m just trying my best to keep this jewel in control.” Astro agreed with Zircon and nodded. He then remembered something. “I just remembered something, Zircon,” he said. “We need to tell Dr. O’shay about the vision you had last night.” Zircon stared at Astro, acting like he had no idea on what he was talking about. A few seconds later, her memory kicked in. “Oh, yeah! I almost forgot!” “We better tell him now before school starts.” said Astro. He then looks at the clock that is sitting on the nightstand near his bed. “It’s a quarter past eight. We’ve got at least forty-five minutes to tell him.” Zircon nodded, and they both headed out of the bedroom, and down the stairs.

Zoran was wide awake and already downstairs before Astro and Zircon. She always wants to get up before anyone else. Since today was a great day for her, as in she was enrolled in school, she was already dressed and was waiting by the door. Well, she was waiting by the door. Since Astro’s school doesn’t start until nine o’ clock, she started working on the three-hundred piece jigsaw puzzle Zircon left out on the coffee table yesterday. Astro and Zircon walked towards Dr. O’shay, who was sitting on a chair in the kitchen. “Good morning, Doctor,” said Astro. Doctor managed to say, “Good morning, you two.” to them, but he all of a sudden, gets shocked by the look in both of their eyes as soon as he took his nose out of the paper. “Wow, I’d thought I’d see you two when you say that, I guess that didn’t happen today.” “We’re sorry,” said Astro. “But there’s something really important that Zircon needs to tell you.” *Zircon has to tell me something?* Doctor thought. *I should’ve known she’d say that. But, I don’t understand. There were tons of things Zircon, Astro and I have already gone through. It went from talking about the jewel, to talking about Dr. Tenma. What does Zircon have to tell me this time? Will it be something located in any of the two topics?*

Any Suggestions?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It was great overall although I was being a little picky and didn't quite enjoy the shows as much as I did the last time I watched them. I was going to say the 2nd season was better than the 1st but now I'm not so sure. Let's take a closer look.

Season 1

I (The Beginning)

2. 1-2 607-002 10-Aug-2001 II (The Samurai called Jack)

3. 1-3 607-003 10-Aug-2001 III (The First Fight)

4. 1-4 607-004 13-Aug-2001 IV (Jack, the Woolies, and the Chritchellites)

5. 1-5 20-Aug-2001 VII (Jack and the Three Blind Archers)

6. 1-6 27-Aug-2001 V (Jack in Space)

7. 1-7 03-Sep-2001 IX (Jack Under the Sea)

8. 1-8 15-Oct-2001 VIII (Jack vs. Mad Jack)

9. 1-9 607-011 29-Oct-2001 XI (Jack and the Scotsman)

10. 1-10 05-Nov-2001 X (Jack and the Lava Monster)

11. 1-11 19-Nov-2001 VI (Jack and the Warrior Woman)

12. 1-12 26-Nov-2001 XII (Jack and the Gangsters)

13. 1-13 03-Dec-2001 XIII (Aku's Fairy Tales)

The highlights of that season were

A)The Beginning

B)The first Fight

C)Jack and the 3 Blind Archors

D)Jack Under the Sea

E)Jack and THe Scotsman

F)Jack and the Lava Monster

G)Jack and the Gangsters

Now it gets tough to pick them apart. I would say the highlights from those would be A)Jack and the 3 Blind Archors and E) Jack and the Scotsman with the Scotsman episode being the best of them all.

Now if we take a look at the 2nd DVD we got:

14. 1-14 01-Mar-2002 XIV (Jack Learns to 'Jump Good')

15. 1-15 08-Mar-2002 XV (Jack Tales)

16. 1-16 15-Mar-2002 XVI (Jack and the Smackback)

17. 1-17 22-Mar-2002 XVII (Jack and the Scotsman, Part 2)

18. 1-18 607-018 29-Mar-2002 XVIII (Jack and the Ultra-robots)

19. 1-19 05-Apr-2002 XIX (Jack Remembers the Past)

20. 1-20 607-020 12-Apr-2002 XX (Jack and the Monks)

Season 2

21. 2-1 06-Sep-2002 XXI (Jack and the Farting Dragon)

22. 2-2 607-019 13-Sep-2002 XXII (Jack and the Hunters)

23. 2-3 20-Sep-2002 XXIII (Jack vs Demongo, the Soul Collector)

24. 2-4 27-Sep-2002 XXIV (Jack is Naked)

25. 2-5 04-Oct-2002 XXV (Jack and the Spartans)

26. 2-6 11-Oct-2002 XXVI (Jack's Sandals)

Jack Learns to "Jump Good" -- Great ep to start off with. Personally I took to it because I love to train and the way they train here is somewhat similar to what you would see in Dragonball Z. The training techniques are serious but hilarious in their over the topness. The "Jump Good" phrase is a great comedic line.

Jack Tales is pretty good though the episodes are cut off into 3 individual stories so there's no real time for them to do anything with it. The first 2 stories are the best with the first one having a super long quote by Jack which is one of the best quotes I've ever heard in my life. I've been thinking about putting it one my signatures.

Jack and the Smackback (DOme of Doom) up to this point is the best of the second DVD. Basically it's all fighting where Jack takes on challenger after challenger in the dome of Doom. We're wrestling fans. We love this kind of stuff. This episode is full of tributes from -- Well, I'll just let TVtome.com do the talking --

Notes

First UK showing : 16th October 2002 6:30pm on CNX

All of the "proverbs" that the warrior Ganeesh thinks he is quoting, he is quoting incorrectly. He is probably trying to impress the crowd - and Jack - because of a big ego, while to an educated person (such as Jack, and hopefully most viewers) he sounds ridiculous.

WP -- I also noticed the Bruce Lee tributes in this. The way Jack gets cut and his eagerness to take off his shirt at the first opportunity.

JACK AND THE SCOTSMAN PART II -- I was dissapointed in this one. Nowhere near the first Scotsman episode as a good part of the humour here didn't do anything for me. The ending I didn't care for either but I will say in this episode's defence that it was one of the creator's top 5 episodes so maybe others will like it. They actually show how they made this episode as a bonus on the DVD.

JACK AND THE ULTRA ROBOTS -- ONe of the best episodes of the entire series. A candidate for best ep. Jack has to take on these super robots who have destroyed village after village and robot after robot. Jack's in the most trouble he's ever been during the entire series here. Also a top 5 favourite of Tartokovsky (excuse the spelling) for the 2nd DVD set.

JACK AND THE PAST -- Basically this is just Jack remembering stuff about the past. Jack hardly says a word in this. I liked it a lot

JACK AND THE MONKS -- Why do people climb a mountain? "Because it's there". Terrific ep. Basically Jack loses his eye of the tiger and 3 monks somehow notice this and all 4 of them start climbing a mountain. The monks say something like "truth" is at the top of the mountain if I remember right.

I loved everything about this episode. One of my favourites. Just basically everything in it had that cool vibe to it. Also had a great action sequence that put the test on Jack's eye of the tiger spirit where Jack and this -- well I'm not ruining it.

JACK AND THE FARTING DRAGON -- Pretty good but not great.

JACK AND THE HUNTERS -- Top candidate for best episode ever. I would say it's best enjoyed on first viewing more because you have no idea on what's going to happen. The best hunters in the galacy do Aku's dirty work for him and hunt down Jack.

JACK vs DEMONGO The SOUL COLLECTOR

Great ep. Cool concept. Make sure to Look closely at all of Demongo's warriors as one of them is clearly noticeable. I don't know the laws of Samuari Jack's world but it seems to me that Demongo could actually take out Aku.

JACK IS NAKED

Offbeat episode that's a tribute to Alice in Wonderland and old style cartoons. A CENTIPEDE!!!!! !!!!!! tribute is in this! Pretty good ep.

JACK AND THE SPARTANS

I think this got nominated for an emmy. Pretty good although I think others may take to it more than me. There's also a commentary track for this ep.

JACK'S SANDALS

Okay ep. A comedy ep about shoes.

To answer the question the 2nd DVD set is probably better though the best couple of episodes from each DVD are certainly debatable. Jack and the Scotsman from the frst DVD set may still be the best episode. Hard to say.

June 5, 2005

I brought back EricMM's comments from earlier in the thread where he talks about season 2 so we can get things from a different perspective.

the first SJ DVD if you want to know how it starts.

The first episode is really good.

But season two is where the show takes off. Especially Jack vs. the Mauraders.

Here's a quick ep breakdown

201 Jack Learns to Jump Good. Great episode, cute but with some nice kung fu.

202 Three Stories of Jack. Okay ep, I liked the jokes in the first, the off kilter unease of the second, and the irony of the third.

203 Jack in the Battledome. Various battles. Good action, not much else, good for what it is.

204 Jack and the Scotsman II Great great ep. Nice scottish lore, good fights, and pretty nice dialog. Excellent ep overall.

205 Jack vs. Mauraders Top 3 Jack ep, best in season. minimal in everything but action.

206 Jack's Memories after an all action ep comes an ep devoted to who Jack is and how he became the man he is. Full of japanese feudal imagery, and almost nothing more, this episode is beatiful.

207 Jack vs. the Mountain Decent action, but mostly another story about how and why Jack fights. Nothing spectacular except some of the artwork.

208 Jack vs. the Smell a somewhat silly but artistically creative piece.

209 Jack vs. the Hunters another pure action story, continues the excellent tradition of this show, no dialog, merely a story told through actions.

210 Jack vs. Demongo This battle is interesting because of the variety and number of Jack's foes. Stellar art direction again, 2nd best ep in season

211 Jack vs. the White Rabbit a chase episode. A change a pace certainly, has some interesting takes off of the Lewis classic, but nothing exceptional.

212 Jack and the Centurions Superb, tied with Demongo for 2nd place. Best looking art of the season, if not most creative or effective. Good music, and just atmosphere out the wazoo. That this is on TV and not more appreciated is sad.

213 Jack needs Shoes What to do when your sandals break. Some laughs, a little action, and a touching ending. Not outstanding but fully acceptable.

Thats season two. Everyone is great, except possibly the White Rabbit ep.

The Demongo ep, the Centurions, and ESPECIALLY The Mauraders are classic eps. Seasons three and four have even better episodes, somehow, but these are all totally worth seeing.

I'll breakdown seasons three and four whenever they're released if I remember.

Hey thanks, I had no clue about this.

If there's an option for subs that means there's a possibility for unedited Astroboy. The confusing thing is though if they use English that means they would have to be using the old edited footage unless of course they're giving us two versions which wouldn't make sense because that would take up a lot of room. Of course there's also the possibility that Manga is going to do their own original dubbing for the show so it can be seen in its entirity.

Thank you once again for the link. This is big news.

Edit -- Just realised they said the entire 52 episodes. Yet another good indication we have unchanged Astroboy coming as they never showed all 52 episodes on TV back in the 80s.
