Pluto/Trivia
- Name's the Same: The Dr. Tenma in this series has no relation to a certain other Dr. Tenma.
- Playing Against Type: A Reused Character Design version. Urasawa gives Epsilon the same character design as Johan from Monster.
- Unintentional Period Piece: The Iraq War and Saddam Husein's capture and execution loom large in the story, despite ostensibly taking place in the future.
- Strangely enough, the original Astro Boy manga from the 1950s actually has Astro being created in 2003, the same year as the Iraq War began.
