Based on the iconic anime streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Crunchyroll.

Witness the shocking turning point in the prequel to Tezuka’s Astro Boy, where a robot tournament erupts into chaos and Moriya exposes dangerous secrets threatening the future of robotics.


As trust fractures and secrets unravel, Volume 14 thrusts our heroes into their most harrowing confrontation yet. When Moriya takes control of a packed robot tournament – holding spectators hostage in a shocking public spectacle – the world is forced to reckon with buried truths. Demand for government accountability roars, while Tenma, Ochanomizu, and A106 race against the clock to stop catastrophe, salvage robotic innocence, and uncover the mystery binding them all.

This turning point volume transforms ATOM’s prequel from innovation-driven wonder into a political and ethical battleground. The light of progress is dimmed by conspiracy, raising the stakes for humanity’s relationship with its creations. With every revelation, the line between ally and adversary blurs – even as A106’s heart leads the way.

Dark, provocative, and emotionally charged, Volume 14 pushes the series forward into uncharted territory. Perfect for fans of mecha manga where action collides with moral complexity – this is more than robots fighting; it’s a pulse-pounding reckoning with power, responsibility, and the future we build.

Masami Yuuki is a manga artist and member of the artist group Headgear. He is most known for his celebrated manga series Mobile Police Patlabor, which has spawned many spin-offs and adaptations into anime, movies, live-action projects, novels, video games, and more.

Osamu Tezuka was a Japanese manga artist, cartoonist, and animator whose revolutionary comics earned him the title of manga no kamisama (“God of Manga”). His body of work is one of the largest and most prolific in all of Japanese culture, including the iconic Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, Black Jack, Dororo, Message to Adolf, and Princess Knight. Tezuka passed away in 1989.
