This work was submitted in a special animation competition as part of a PR project for a power company, but was unfortunately not adopted. The reason is very clear: the setting of the story is the exhausted earth. There couldn't be a more instructive setting for a power company that uses enormous amounts of the earth's resources. Additionally, a girl robot discovered by the main character can store sunlight and convert it into energy; in other words, the robot does not require a power-generating company. In addition to this, the robot destroys herself to protect the established solar power generation system in space.
The unsuccessful outcome of the competition for Tezuka Osamu was only natural, and it is clear that he created this piece, as it was intentionally, as he managed everything from the original story to the screenplay, animation, narration, etc., all the while knowing that the competition was sponsored by a power company.

Where it came from
The Brave Fire S0.9 project emerged from the creative laboratories of Tezuka Productions in 1987, serving as a specialized experimental entry within the studio’s vast output. It was developed during a period when the studio was exploring new stylistic directions and narrative tones, reflecting the post-Osamu Tezuka era as the team sought to honor his legacy while experimenting with more modern animation aesthetics. The work was conceived as a limited-release special, intended for a niche audience interested in the studio's technical evolution rather than mass-market broadcast.
The design sensibilities of the piece are rooted in the distinct visual language established by Tezuka's archives, emphasizing dynamic movement and expressive character silhouettes. The production team focused on refining the fluidity of the animation, pushing the capabilities of their late-80s cel technology. While it did not reach the cultural saturation of the studio’s flagship franchises, it remains a notable artifact for historians of Japanese animation, recognized for its attempt to bridge traditional storytelling techniques with the burgeoning technical ambitions of the late 1980s.
