Yet another Atlas episode. This time it turns out the mad scientist that made Atlas is also alive, somehow. He forces Atlas to capture a proton laser that's headed for Jupiter, which is also being chased by Astro Boy. Lots of revelations this episode, including the reveal that Astro and Atlas are basically brothers. I guess that's not really a spoiler because we pretty much knew that from the first episode. The rest of the episode plays out as one would expect. That being said, I think this was one of the more bearable Atlas episodes, primarily because Atlas himself is a bit more endearing after doing everything he can to save Livian, and contemplating his connection to Astro. Also, this doesn't happen often, but

Overall this was a pretty good episode.

A fun episode. The characters were quite charming this time around and the sense of despair could be felt from both the perspectives of Astro and Atlas.

One of the better Atlus episodes in my opinion. I like how they brought back Walpurgis one finally time and even killed him off to give some proper closure. The antiproton cannon had a cool design and served as an interesting set piece for the main fight. The big 'reveal' of Atlus and Atom being brothers I think it nice set up (hopefully) for their final confrontation as now they have a theoretically closer bond that should add depth to their conflict.
