| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- What can I say? Humans are contradictory as usual. They create AI robots that have emotions and conscience, and yet they expect those robots to be their possessions! Having emotions and conscience like a human means to have an embedded desire for freedom. If humans wanted slaves they should have never created robots with conscience. But they wanted to take advantage of a slave with intelligence and conscience. That's so shameful! Of course, since they acted like ruthless tyrants, they taught the robots the darkness of the human heart! No matter how outraged I am, I admit that Osamu Tezuka was brilliant to portray so accurately the essence of human nature in all its aspects. There is also another thing I really appreciated: there are merciful people and merciful robots even if only a handful. They are those that keep the world from collapsing. What other proof do we need that good is more powerful than evil? Most of the humans and robots have already their hearts corrupted by anger, fear, and mistrust. Yet the world still lives because of the few merciful ones. I agree that Atom could be the king of the robots, but not by becoming a tyrant who rules the world. He can be a king of the robots by his ability to forgive and foster love in the midst of hatred. He is the only one that can teach the true ways of the human heart to his fellow robots. And you know what's the irony? Humans as well have so much to learn from him. |
