BTX by Masami Karumada is about this boy named Teppei who always wanted to protect his older brother Kotaro. Kotaro is this very famous scientist, but being a famous scientist is very dangerous for him. This evil organization which is this machine empire where they control these special cyborgs called B'ts(pronounced "beat"). Now Teppi is trying to save his only brother from this evil oranization that wants to create a new world using the B'ts.
What I learned from this book is if we should even have cyborgs. It could be dangerous for everybody because people can use the power of the cyborgs for their own selfish reasons.

"Debes lograr ser un hombre capaz de brillar por sí mismo sin tener que recurrir a la fuerza de nadie más".

En la tradición de los mangas japoneses, sobre robots, mechas, etc. viene algo de lo que no estaba acostumbrado Kurumada. Una saga de aventuras, filosofía, batallas épicas, momentos tristes y dolorosos, pero siempre llenos de esperanza, en pocas palabras la esencia de Kurumada, justo a lo que nos tiene acostumbrados.

Un manga clásico que hay que leer!!!

What I thought about this book is that it started in a dromatic start because of how the machine empire kidnaped the profeser. And his brother is trying to get him back. He starts alone in his quest but then X is back alive thanks to the help of Teppei. In the beging they start fighting but than the work things out and then they go and try to save the profeser.

Konsep cerita komik karya Masami ini mirip Saint Seiya. Tokoh utama melakukan sebuah perjalanan untuk menyelamatkan dunia. Ia harus melewati setiap titik yang dijaga oleh musuh. Mirip dengan cerita Saint Seiya dan kawan-kawan yang hendal menyelamatkan Putri Sauri
