Pluto, which is based on the mini-arc “The Greatest Robot on Earth” of Astro Boy is an anti-war, anti-discrimination episode, and ironically, these incidents match the real life atrocities.
spoiler
The Persian Empire in the series was wrongfully accused of making weapons of mass destruction by the United State of Thracia (Bush on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq), and the 39th Central Asian Conflict (The Arab Spring) is a cause of this effect. Five (NATO countries) of the seven greatest robots on Earth participate in the war, which destroys the entire Persian empire, turning it into desert, and it is currently under the occupation of the United States of Thracia (occupation of Afghanistan) and under re-development. The members of the Bora committee (United Nations Special Commission) find scraps of robots and despite finding no evidence of destructive weapons, allows Persia to be crumbled to dust by the imperialist Thracia, who wanted to maintain their hegemony over the entire world. There’s also an anti-robot rights terrorist group that hate robots (related to racism) with advanced AI and high degree of consciousness to death and want them to be subservient just like machines of the past, but I’m not going to talk about that, because this is already a lengthy spoiler.
Also on Netflix, but you can pirate and watch eight episodes in one go.

Thank you for the explanation. I think I watches some episode when I was a kid but I don’t remember a thing about it.
