More of the story: Tenma soon destroys his laboratory, after the creation of Atom, and shuts down Atom. Soon after, Dr. Ochanomizu, the head of the Ministry of Science revives Atom, and tries to give him a normal life as a 6th grade student that helps the police agency keep renegade robots and bigot humans from causing harm.
