Jason Beck &ldquo;Gold&rdquo; is introduced as Dorothy&#039;s kidnapper in the series premiere. After &quot;being humilliated&quot; by Roger during the kidnapping case, Beck&#039;s further appearances on the show consist of his trying to humilliate Roger back.    Beck is very uncertain. He can be seemingly uneasy and panicky at one moment, and calm himself down to regain himself the next. Despite an overtly buffoonish nature, Beck is intelligent - he can come up with his plots rather easily, and has shown great ability as a mechanical designer. In the course of the series, he was able to build his own megadeus apparently from scratch, collaborate on the design of another and create a precise working replica of Roger&#039;s torso, head and vocal cords, and was even specifically sought out by Alex Rosewater to reconfigure Big Fau.

Paradigm City is a place without a past. 40 years ago, something happened that wiped the memories of everyone in it. Unfortunately, the people of Paradigm City were very busy before then, making Megadueses (giant robots) and monsters. People who were born after the memory wipe are gaining/recovering memories of the past and using them to build newer threats. With the help of The Big O (a faithful giant robot), his butler Norman and the android Dorothy, Roger Smith keeps Paradigm City safe. As problems mount and more memories surface, Roger's past and Paradigm's future begin to become suspect...

Continuation of The Big O. 

Originally planned as a 26-episode series, low viewership in Japan reduced production to the first 13. Positive international reception resulted in a second season consisting of the remaining 13 episodes; co-produced by Cartoon Network, Sunrise, and Bandai Visual.

The official comic adaptation of Bandai's Cartoon Network hit, a stylish "manga meets film noir" story which goes BEYOND the plot of the TV series! Paradigm City is the city of amnesia--40 years ago, SOMETHING happened that wiped out the memories of the residents, forcing them to recreate their culture from scattered fragments. In this world only 40 years old, Roger Smith is a negotiator--a go-between for police, citizens and criminals in high-risk diplomatic situations. But something else survives from the forgotten past. They are the MegaDeuses--giant robots created by the city's former inhabitants, or perhaps by the forgetful citizens themselves. When crime and madness strike, Roger Smith brings the guilty to justice with the giant robot called THE BIG O.
