Phoenix (火の鳥) is a manga series by Osamu Tezuka that ran from 1954 to 1988, and is considered by the man himself to be his greatest work.The series is focused on the Phoenix, a cosmic entity that looks like a peacock and whose blood grants immortality towards whoever drinks it.The volumes take place either far in The Future or in Feudal Japan. As the series progress, the timelines grow closer. Typically, the story contains much more humor in the feudal Japan stories while the science-fiction stories are more dramatic.The Viz edition has edited the following volumes: Dawn A Tale of the Future/Future Yamato/Space Karma Resurrection Nostalgia Civil War (Part One) Civil War (Part Two) Strange Beings/Life Sun (Part One) Sun (Part Two) Early WorksThere have been two OVAs, two animated movies, a live-action movie, and a TV series.Not to be confused with Phoenix Wright, the French band Phoenix, the (unrelated to each other) coin-op video games Phoenix or Space Firebirds, the Australian police mini-series, the Phoenix air-to-air missile, or Phoenix, Arizona.See The Phoenix for the mythological creature Phoenix.

 Phoenix (Manga) / int_260926c3
comment
Failure Is the Only Option: The Phoenix is continually reincarnating the Universe in the hopes mankind will finally be harmonious with itself and nature. She hopes mankind will use the life he is given wisely, and even more, eventually, returning to her/becoming part of her. She never succeeds and never quits.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute?
 Phoenix (Manga) / int_2e528f4e
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: Masato in Future is very displeased that the new leading animals in the future are slugs, and has little sympathy for the last living one as it struggles for survival. Though this lack of sympathy probably has more to do with the fact that those damn stupid slugs went and wiped themselves out by having a world war.

comment
Stable Time Loop: One feudal story involves a young lady murdering a nun with miraculous healing powers to prevent her from treating her tyrannical father's infected injury so that he will die, freeing the land (and herself) from his cruelty. The Phoenix then traps her on the mountain where the nun's temple is located, and she is forced to disguise herself as the nun to cover up the crime, and uses the nun's sacred relic made from one of the Phoenix's tail feathers to heal the ailments of visiting supplicants as the nun herself had. After a time, she is told that the local lord has received an heir, who has her name. Then she realizes that she's in her own past, that she is the nun she killed, and one day, when her past self is grown, she will be called on to treat the lord's infection, which his heir will seek to prevent by means of murder...

Magic A Is Magic A: The Phoenix's blood seems to work differently each time it is used on a character. Drinking it is meant to make the subject immortal, but Masato in Universe still grows old until his body is destroyed but his mind lives on and Nakamura in Space grows younger until he is a baby and then grows old again and so on.

 Phoenix (Manga) / int_8767b1f3
comment
Black-and-Gray Morality: Mostly grays, but you're more likely to find a totally evil character than a perfectly good character. Gao, for instance, is one of the more purely good protagonists... if not for his start as an indiscriminate thief and mass murderer. It is notable that killing seems to be considered acceptable if one does it to survive, as it is no different than hunting (one of the themes, especially in Gao's book Karma, is that all life is equal).

De Mythification: Most of the historical chapters (immortal bird goddess aside), apart from Sun (though the past bits of that may or may not have been hallucinated by a guy living in 2008). Sun also retroactively inverts this for Strange Beings. The earlier story had implied that the monsters Yaobikuni treats are aliens but Sun features actually Youkais going to her after being wounded in battle against Indian Boddhisatvas.

Blue-and-Orange Morality
 Phoenix (Manga) / int_e8e56799
comment
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Phoenix herself is all over the place in some of the books. In some she's a benevolent goddess guiding and protecting creation. Others she's a fierce guardian who will uphold a greater cosmic balance, and crush you like a bug if you dare interfere in her work. Sometimes she's a cruel mistress of dispensing punishment, sometimes called, and uncalled for.

Who Wants to Live Forever?
 Phoenix (Manga) / int_ea39d156
comment
Who Wants to Live Forever?: Obviously a recurring theme. The last arc covered in the anime has this hit particularly hard, as the person the Phoenix grants immortality to is given it in the middle of an apocalyptic war. When the dust settles, the only other survivors are some robots that break down after a few centuries, leaving him completely alone for billions of years.

A Real Man Is a Killer
 Phoenix (Manga) / int_f5e59782
comment
A Real Man Is a Killer: Or rather, a real human is a killer. Lamp's robot servant Robita says that he is human; he finds this concept ridiculous and offensive and convinces him that if he considers himself human, he should attempt to kill him as revenge for all his mistreatment. Robita ends up doing just that, indirectly.

Society Is to Blame
 Phoenix (Manga) / int_f8084d07
comment
Society Is to Blame: Gao in Karma says "Society made me who I am!" about why he had become a nihilistic mass murderer. The priest he says this to partially agrees, saying that reincarnation and karma are what put him in those circumstances to begin with.

Canon Immigrant: Robita the robot reappears in the 2003 Astro Boy animated series, recolored yellow, becoming a Robot Maid to Astro's family. He/she is not part of Tezuka's Star System, though.
