This is a short essay on the first episode of the Pluto (2023) anime.
First, I’ll present evidence for the robot Brau1589 being an allusion to the Titan Prometheus from Greek mythology. Then, I’ll discuss my thoughts on what “fire” Brau1589 may have stolen from the gods, who the “gods” may be and who Brau1589 may have given the “fire” to. Finally, I’ll present some open questions that this allusion raises.
