What is the Iron Giant’s Purpose?
The Iron Giant is a robot, and it’s generally safer not to give robots thought or emotion if you want to control them. Pacifistas and Seraphim are human weapons, and while Seraphim seem to have emotions, they are designed to obey the authority chips without question to prevent them from going rogue.
The Iron Giant might have a similar mechanism, but it seems to have a special attachment to Joy Boy, suggesting that it would never betray him or the cause it was meant to protect. Its emotions might have been given to prevent enemies from exploiting it. Unlike an authority system, which can be compromised as seen in the recent events at Egghead, if the Iron Giant truly supports Joy Boy and the Great Kingdom’s ideals, it would be unlikely to betray them.
The robots created by Dr. Tsukimi cried and even sought revenge when he died, suggesting that robots with emotions might possess stronger loyalty than humans. When the Iron Giant tried to do something at Mary Geoise 200 years ago, it was likely driven by loyalty or camaraderie.
It’s still unclear what the Iron Giant is thinking or feeling now, but since it spoke words of apology to Joy Boy, it’s likely motivated by a desire for redemption. This redemption might be directed toward the reincarnation of Joy Boy, and it could challenge the Five Elders to protect Luffy.
Rather than challenging them, it’s likely that the Five Elders will try to destroy the Iron Giant along with the broadcasting Den Den Mushi. In the coming chapters, we might see the Iron Giant’s strength and the advanced science of the Void Century’s civilization being put to the test.
That concludes this article. Thank you very much for reading!
