Astro Boy: Omega Factor/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Adaptation Displacement: While most of the Tezuka characters who show up here did make earlier stateside debuts in one form or another (even if only as extras in other Astroboy productions), for a time this was what all of them (with the possible exception of Black Jack, whose OAV series enjoyed modest success in the West during the late 90s/early 00s anime boom) were best known for in the English-speaking world, though Vertical Inc.'s recent blitz of high quality Tezuka manga translations has done a lot to change that.
  • Cult Classic
  • No Problem with Licensed Games: Easily one of the greatest licensed games ever made.
  • That One Boss:
    • North in Hard Mode, mostly because his first phase basically forces you to waste all three of your Supers.
    • Atlas, when fighting him with Dr. Black Jack at the bottom of the map, which leaves you with less space to fight him.
  • The Untwist: Blue Knight being President Rag. The gratuitous flashback makes it screamingly obvious.
