The screenplay "borrows" liberally from Osamu Tezuka's 1952 manga Tetsuwan Atomu (known as Astro Boy in the English speaking world), in which a scientist creates an emotion-capable boy robot to replace his dead son, but becomes frustrated when he realizes the robot will never grow up or become human. He sells Astro Boy to the Robot Circus, where he's forced to do battle with other robots in gladiator-style combat.
