== Plot ==
Huey Duck makes friends with B.O.Y.D. among the Junior Woodchucks, in time to catch him beginning to glitch and have flashbacks to his creation… Before he reverts to his original programming completely and wrecks the city, he is taken back to Tokyolk by Huey, Doctor Gearloose and Fenton to find the old lab of Gyro's mad-scientist mentor Doctor Akita, with whom Gyro originally built B.O.Y.D., then known as 2-B-O. However, between Gyro wanting to remove the threat from his past at all costs, the mistrustful Inspector Tezuka, and the resurfacing, vengeful Doctor Akita, it seems only Huey sees B.O.Y.D. as what he wants to be — “a definitely real boy”…

===Continuity===
*B.O.Y.D.'s origins are expanded upon following his appearance in Happy Birthday, Doofus Drake (2019), with it being revealed that Mark Beaks did not actually create him at all (even from stolen schematics), instead finding him ready-made in a garbage bin.
