He abandoned the only life he had.
And now he's been reborn as an immortal.
He destroys the iron evil.
Who will do it if not Casshan?
CASSHAN
Hibike Casshan!
Tatake Casshan!
Kudake Casshan!
Uwasa ni kikoeta sugoi yatsu
Kikku atakku denkou panchi
Umare kawatta fujimi no karada
Andoro gundan taosu made
Moeru ikari wo buchikamase
Furenda jetto
Shinzo ningen Casshan
Casshan, Casshan!
Stake Life in the Desert of Death
The Andro Army, which was trying to conquer the whole world,
suddenly decided to attack the country of deserts and oil, Arasake.
They continued to attack the oil fields
which supply fuel to the National Defense Forces one after another.
Now, the oil field at D-Point is the only one left free from attack.
The D-Point oil field is located in the middle of the largest desert in the world.
It is scorchingly hot and sandstorms are always blowing.
Therefore, all processes from digging to transportation are controlled by computers.
But all the computers are out of order due to a strong magnetic storm
and oil transportation has been entirely cut off.
The National Defense Force, whose fuel was completely cut off,
held an emergency conference to discuss countermeasures.
Can the computers be repaired or not?
We need a lot of fuel in battle.
If we don't have it, we won't be able to beat the robots.
A strong magnetic storm is still blowing over that area.
Unless this magnetic storm goes away,
we will not be able to use the computers even if they are repaired.
Can't we do anything to get that magnetic storm to stop?
No, we can't.
We can't? Now what?
This is a super-hard alloy which has a very strong resistance to heat and rust.
This alloy can be broken easily after three months in that desert.
That desert conceals a formidable natural power which is beyond our imagination.
But that doesn't mean...
that the D-Point oil field area will be safe from attacks by the Andro Army.
Who are you?
He's an authority on electronics, Dr. Simon.
But Doctor, can robots reach the oil field via the desert?
They will try, by all means.
But I will protect the field with the MK System that I invented.
Please start the film.
This is a model of that system.
The MK System is a machine with a spiral firing tower
that emits powerful energy to the magnetic waves in the air,
creating a diffused current, which will change magnetic waves to a vortex current.
The center of the vortex current is the same as the eye of a typhoon.
There, no magnetic waves are observed,
but just outside the center, there is a strong magnetic storm.
So, if any robot tries to cross the area, its computer will be broken down.
What?
You haven't attacked the D-Point oil field yet?
You fool, attack it immediately!
Yes, sir!
But will you please observe this?
This is the robot that went to investigate the area.
D-Point is at the center of a formidable desert.
The climate in that area destroys robots.
We have nothing to be afraid of in this world.
I am the one who built your bodies.
Do you doubt my work?
No, never!
Then, take our main force and attack.
Don't allow the people any fuel.
Victory in this world is within our reach.
Right, Swanee?
Hail, Braiking!
That night, Swanee flew to Casshan
to inform him of Braiking Boss' plans.
Mother, what are you doing?
If Braiking Boss finds out, you'll be in danger.
Casshan, go to D-Point immediately.
D-Point?
You mean in that desert?
Braiking Boss sent Barashin and his force to destroy the oil field.
Really?
But a magnetic storm is blowing over there.
Barashin is also afraid of it,
but Braiking Boss has confidence in his robots.
Okay, I will start immediately.
That oil field is our last fuel resource.
But you must be very careful.
You don't know how formidable nature is in that desert.
Yes!
Flender, you were built by my father also, with all his techniques and love.
So, you have nothing to worry about.
Under the scorching sun,
Dr. Simmons and his troop were driving through sandstorms towards D-Point.
But they did not make as much progress as they had planned,
because the conditions were worse than they expected.
At about the same time, the Andro Army started for D-Point.
The robots were explosion robots specially made for crossing the desert.
They were tireless, and they were approaching D-Point steadily.
It's no good.
That's strange.
The engine has overheated.
Idiot, this engine is supposed to last for 30,000 km without stopping.
As we were afraid, the climate in this desert is having a bad effect on machines.
Everybody, carry the parts on your backs.
Are we going to walk through the desert?
There's no other way.
This is P03, P03. Over.
Damn, the radio isn't working either!
Come on, let's go!
We're over D-Point already.
It was a pleasant flight, wasn't it, Luna?
Don't be silly, Casshan.
What's the matter, Flender?
No good, the speed's dropping!
Flender!
Are you okay?
The climate in this desert really is peculiar.
They're Andro Army tanks.
Hurry and hide behind the dune.
Over here!
The iron...
This is beyond imagination.
The robots can't go any farther.
No, robots aren't afraid of dying.
They'll keep coming.
Who are you two?
My name is Casshan.
Our car broke down while crossing the desert.
I am Simmons.
They are engineers from the Oil Corporation.
We are on our way to D-Point to repair the computers there.
This is from a robot!
Then, that explosion was...
The Andro Army is here.
Just as I feared, they are attacking the oil field.
The robots must have been hit by the magnetism in this desert.
R... Rust!
Flender!
Flender, too?
Casshan, you may be rusting too.
Anything wrong?
Oh, no, nothing.
Please let us help protect the oil field at D-Point.
Hey!
Hey, stop!
Someone has fallen down.
Hang in there!
Hey!
Can you stand up?
Do your best!
Huh?
Where is the driver?
What? He was following us, wasn't he?
He passed us!
Really?
Hey! Really?
Hey!
Over here!
He's dead...
I am going back.
My wife and child are waiting for me.
Please let me go home.
I want to see my child.
Please let me go home.
Please! Let me go home!
Let me go home!
We can't go home.
We must repair the computers as soon as possible,
so that oil can be sent to the battlefield.
That's the only way to beat the Andro Army.
We must defend the oil field by setting up the MK System.
MK System? What's that?
It's strange.
From here, we should be able to see the drilling towers of the oil field.
It's a very strong magnetic storm.
Casshan, the map of this area...
Hey, Casshan, what's wrong with you?
Nothing, I've just got a headache.
Flender, sniff for the smell of oil.
Which way should we go?
Come on, let's go.
It's that way.
Flender has a very strong sense of smell.
I disagree.
The functions of that robot dog may not be working.
Flender!
Look! He is affected by the magnetism.
His functions are probably out of order.
F|ender's electronic brain won't be affected by this much magnetism.
But we can't follow this robot dog.
Everyone, let's go straight ahead.
You're right.
Let's follow him. You're right.
Wait!
Wh..What are you doing?
You shouldn't be guided by your feelings.
Our feelings are better than a broken robot dog.
Flender is functioning just fine!
What are you doing?
Oh, no, it's a Sand Hades.
Doctor!
Help me!
Rope! Throw me a rope!
Nothing, we don't have a rope!
Doctor, there are no-
Hold on to my body.
Save me!
No good! Save me!
I can't use my Pulsers with my hands constrained.
Casshan!
Flender, stretch your tail out!
All right!
"I was a narrow escape.
I was scared.
Do you still think that Flender isn't functioning properly?
He's a wonderful robot dog.
Then, let's go, Flender.
Dammit, magnetism isn't the only problem.
There's something else too.
Casshan's the only one who could do this.
We must get there before him.
Hail, Braiking!
The Andro Army continued its march towards D-Point.
On the other hand, Casshan, Simmons and his group
followed Flender towards D-Point.
The scorching sun and howling sandstorm tormented people,
and magnetism tormented Casshan and Flender.
Flender!
Casshan.
What's wrong with you?
You aren't a robot, are you?
You're affected by the magnetic storm.
Are you a robot?
Are you...
Look at that!
That's D-Point.
Let's get going.
The computers can be fixed later.
First, let's set up the MK System!
Oh, no, I shouldn't leave this.
It's the Andro Army!
Damn!
That bastard Casshan!
I will send him to Hell along with this oil field.
Go, explosion robots!
We've finally got here.
We can't let them destroy it.
Dr. Simmons, let's set up the MK System.
Okay!
Flender, we are immortal.
We must fight till the end, believing that we are immortal.
Go!
Hail, Braiking!
Electric Punch!
Please hurry and set up the MK System!
The enemy force is too big for Casshan to handle by himself!
Hail, Braiking!
Okay, all set.
We must get Casshan and Flender in this room as soon as possible.
I don't want to kill my savior with this system.
Doctor!
Then, you know that Casshan is...
Hurry up, call Casshan in.
Yes!
Casshan!
Flying Drill!
H..Hail, Braiking!
Dammit!
Luna, turn on the MK System!
The oil field will be destroyed.
Casshan!
Casshan, hurry!
It's the same as the magnetic waves of the MK System!
Oh, no, the storage tanks!
Doctor!
Luna, don't worry about me. Turn the switch on.
N..No...
I can't do it!
Luna, I am immortal.
Don't waste the death of Dr. Simmons.
Casshan!
I'm sorry.
Flender, endure!
Endure it!
|..| can't stand any more.
Retreat!
Casshan...
Luna".
Casshan!
Luna, I won!
Ca..Casshan!
Luna!
Casshan! Luna!
Flender, we won!
Although it cost the life of Dr. Simmons, the oil field at D-Point was defended,
and the transportation of oil was renewed.
The immortal Casshan will overcome any obstacle, any time, any place.
GO proudly!
Who will do it if not Casshan?
Sugata katachi wa kawaranu ga
Tetsu wo mo kudaku kono ude sa
Yume mo kibou mo kinou ni sutete
Tatakau dake ni ikite yuku
Ore wa ore wa shinzo ningen Casshan
With his energy completely drained, Casshan is captured by the Andro Army.
The Andro Army forces him to help make a giant statue equipped with a device
to reduce people to obedience in an instant.
The statue will be complete soon
and the moment when people will be driven to madness is near.
Meanwhile, Casshan's body is buried in concrete!
Next time on Casshan: "Statue of the Demon"
Look forward to it!
