While GAS PEOPLE is the 1st (or 2nd, depending on whether "Atom's Parents" is listed separately) of the MIGHTY ATOM manga stories (AMBASSADOR ATOM is the 0th), in this adaptation, it is the final of 5 stories. I could speculate why, but you will need to buy the book for that!
Sadly, the 1st segment of this story was lost.
As far as I could tell, this guy was killed by the gas people; I cannot say more, as it appears that these 1st few images are recaps of segment #1.
Here is the 1st of the human leaders of the so-called gas people. I assume that he is as much a victim as the others who are or will be possessed by the gas.
i believe this is the driveway of Ochanomizu's home.
the boys seem to have information to share, but the guards send them away.
For those unfamiliar with these characters, Shibugaki wears the long pants, Tamao, the spectacles--
-- & Kenichi (here called 'Kenji') is the other boy.
Here is the Gas' gang.
Oh no! will Ato also be controlled by the gas? Stay tuned!
I am just guessing, but it may be that since it seemed Atom had been destroyed, Ochanomizu just tossed his 'parents' out on the street, since they no longer had a purpose. 
This makes little sense as it is, but I had so very many images, I had to eliminate more than a few. Atom is feigning being under the gas' control, & having met Shibugaki on the street, who was delivering ramen, Atom knocked him on his butt. Though this makes us ask, why is the spoiled rich kid (as depicted in the manga, anyway) working an after school job?
Does anyone else want to see Tezuka's face the first time he saw this design?
