The Haunted Ship, fundamental differences between 1963/2003

I am sure I addressed the differences between the English-language version' dialogue & the original version's dialogue in my review of this story. Granted, I do not speak Japanese, but as indicated, I did not hear any of several words for heart in the JLV. Furthermore, having a heart is one of Atom's fundamental characteristics from the very start.

Oh ok, so the lack of having a heart is only for the English Dub of 1963, and the Japanese Dub was different?

^_^

Well in that case it'd be true then that the 2003 reset Astro back to his fundamentals?

He was from the very start and always has been a robot with a heart.

Good lord, didn't Astroboy cry enough in the manga to have something resembling a heart--at least in a metaphorical kind of way? We're back to that sort of P.K.Dick sort of rationale--if the non-human things are more human than humans are...?
