183, Japanese People from Space (--,--)

Postby jeffbert » 1 year ago

By recent request, I am uploading several images, adding text, etc. :lol:

A second version of the original manga story that was eventually titled AMBASSADOR ATOM. There were several other stories that also have 2 versions on this animated series.

There apparently is a theory that people identical to ourselves exist on distant planets, or some such thing. The same or very similar situations apply, etc. Multiverse.

So, here we have 天馬博士/ Doctor Tenma, his son, 天馬飛雄 / トビ雄 / トビオ (three ways to spell his name!?) / Tobio , eagerly anticipating living on the newly discovered planet. Tobio obviously had not suffered the same fate as Earth's Tobio.

Also, the space versions have large ears, in case you had not noticed.

Tenma literally means Heavenly Horse.


rook (giant bird of Arabian Nights, etc. =masculine, male, hero, leader, superiority, excellence

Here is the Space お茶博士 / Doctor Ochanomizu; notice he is the only character in this story whose space & Earth versions are indistinguishable from one another.

His name literally means Tea Water

At Earth's observatory, Doctor Ochanomizu, アトム /atomu /Atom-& ヒゲオヤジ Higeoyaji-(literally bearded father) meet with 天文学者 Tenbungakusha (Astronomer). I thought this was a name, but, alas, only his profession.

ヒゲオヤジ using kanji: 髭 (hige/ beard) 親父 (oyaji / father)

But that welcome would not last long, as the food shortage became known. Earth's population doubled since the aliens arrived!

The problem become obvious when the Space People taste Earth food, especially flesh:

What happens when food shortages occur?

Skipping a few set-up frames, the Space version of this guy, as a pedestrian, was hit by a car the Earth version was driving:
