Picturing a Pluto epilogue with Sir Duncan getting artificial eyes and getting asked by the press about his previous statement of "If I need a machine to tell me what the world looks like I'd rather not see at all"
And he says "I had a student. His name was North No. 2. He saw the world just fine."
I know this wouldn’t happen bcz he’s one of the most advanced androids to walk the earth but I did it for Me.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Pluto (Anime) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Paul Duncan/North no. 2 Characters: Paul Duncan (Pluto), North No. 2 (Pluto) Additional Tags: Missing Scene, Canonical Character Death, Angst, First Kiss, Robot/Human Relationships Summary:
Paul Duncan uses the time they have to reach out for North no. 2's hands.
Gesicht is the protagonist and he is a really great protagonist, the story is intriguing and compelling, the style is fantastic (the animation is just about 1-to-1 with the manga) and there's. uhh. robots with ptsd from the war. robots with ptsd from other things. etcetera.
I just finished watching the anime Pluto (Naoki Urasawa, 2023) and it was amazing. Watching the story unfold is like being hooked up to an Empathy Box from Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep. It makes you feel so deeply for all the characters despite most of them not even being human. It was uncomfortable at times thinking about the ethics of how the robots, who are so human-like in every way, are used and treated. It really highlights our very human tendencies to empathise with things that aren't even "living".
But by far the most uncomfortable aspect was the uncanny depiction of war. It was heartbreaking how similar the main conflict was to real life events, past and present. In particular it reminded me of the US/UK-Iraq war (2003). The portrayal of how devastating war is to every single person it reaches (soldiers, civilians etc) was done so powerfully by showing the long lasting effects it has on its survivors. One particular scene *SPOILERS* in which a soldier robot repeatedly washes it's hands after the conflict really got to me.
Overall I highly recommend this Sci-fi, Anti war, anti hate anime. It's only 8 episodes long and personally I found the ending to be very satisfying. Gesicht has one of the best character arcs I've ever seen and is 100% MVP. Also I would die for North No. 2.
10/10 Go watch it!
I just finished pluto after refusing to watch it for months after Gesicht died
and there’s almost no fanfic for him?
Is there an unspoken rule that I’m not seeing?
I would like the detective man thank you
Pluto is calling to me in a way only my soul can hear
Montblanc would have treated me right-
