** It's not just Astro Boy; ALL characters were reverted to their original names rather than keeping previous dub names, including Gesicht (Gerhardt), Epsilon (Photar) and so on. As to why they did it? Probably saw no reason to stick to localized names since this manga is aimed at adults rather than kids who would have trouble pronouncing Japanese names.
