"ASTROBUDDY" wrote:Hi, Everyone! Just discovered this thread! I must say I have the first episode of "Jetter Mars" in Japanese, and knew that the Spanish version had been for sale on eBay! But it wasn't until now that I learned the episodes were on view at youtube! Thanks Fauna for that link to the episode, "La Robot, Miel" (translation: "Honey, the Robot") Jetter Mars is a more interesting series than I had previously thought! Maybe when the Astro Boy movie comes out and if it is a big hit than maybe some enterprising company might want to dub this series into English! (I think the reason why the series has not been dubbed before is because it has a very small number of episodes for syndication!) Still it is a very interesting series and it might be called a precursor to the 1980s Astroboy series!

Let's go for part 3:

KUDO: Shut your mouth! Mr. Tenma, you'll have to bring the money here.
[Some moments pass]
K: Attaboy,here's Mr.Tenma's money.
JETTER (to Rocket): Are you just allowing them to go away with it?
ROCKET: No, but take it easy, Mars.
K(to Tenma): You're coming with us as an hostage.
MUSTACHED HENCHMAN (to another henchman, a robot): You take it from here.
J (to Kudo): What about your henchmen.
K: Used robots can be thrown away.
J: What? Urgh!
(Rocket decapitates a henchman who attacked Jetter)
J: Thank you!
[Action scenes: a fight and a aerial chase. Rocket defeats the henchmen and saves his horse; Jetter catches the baddies]
TENMA: I'm very greatful, Mars, and sorry for the things I've done to you.
J: Really, I can't understand why are you living alone in a place like this.
T: When I lived in the city, an automovile killed my wife and son.
J: An automovile!?
[Car a and truck crash. Let me say that Tobio's mom was quite careless here: She must have look at the road, no to his kid!]
J: I'm sure they could be saved now!
T: How?
J: Nowadays, cars have better security systems
T: Yes, Mr. Tenma. Since robots started they duty as crash test dummies, mankind can drive without risk, isn't it, Mars?
J: It is, Rocket.
T: Now I realize, Mars. I would bring all my money for more secure cars.
J: So what?
T: I've got too used to this life. I want to keep the fields, and maybe some day I'll adopt an orphaned kid.
J: Me...?
R: Mars, there's some people waiting for you.
T: Well, it's a pity.

And that's it. We leave Tenma alone and wanting to adopt and raise a child, starting a new life.

ENDUT
HOCH HECH!
