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
Resonate it, Casshan!
Hit it, Casshan!
Smash it, Casshan!
The incredible one, who has been rumored
Kick, attack, electric punch
Reborn as an immortal
Until you defeat the Andro Army
Explode your burning fury
Flender Jet!
The neo-human Casshan
Casshan, Casshan!
Statue of the Demon
This town is named Silent Green City.
It is a quiet, peaceful city surrounded by beautiful nature.
In the midst of it all, the National Museum, a landmark of the city,
is a place where people can find relaxation.
In between the fierce battles that have been going on for days,
Casshan is looking for a moment of relaxation in the museum.
Father often brought me here to see these, saying that they enlightened his heart.
How beautiful!
It's the Andro Army!
Hide!
At that time, the evil hand of the Andro Army extended to Silent Green City.
Run!
Braiking Boss captured one human after another, demanding their submission.
Historic buildings were destroyed wantonly.
Why do humans treasure a thing like this?
Don't hesitate! Smash everything to pieces!
Why do you look at me like that?
Aren't you afraid of me?
Stop it!
Damn you!
Do you intend to contradict me?
Every one of the sculptures here is the life of us artists.
No, the life of humans!
Machines such as you will never understand the hearts of mankind.
Kill him!
Who's that?
It's Casshan!
Casshan!
I can't bear to see any more.
Get out!
Attack! Get out!
Flender, take Luna with you.
Luna".
What a horrible weapon.
The energy has been drained from my body and my electronic brain is disorganized.
Casshan, what's the matter?
You underestimated us.
You'll be a handsome present for Braiking Boss.
Barashin, you've shown me a nice thing.
Yes, sir!
For some reason, men show interest in things like this and look for relaxation.
I've just had a good idea.
It's not bad for a hero to have a statue worthy of him.
Build a statue of me.
A gigantic one, on top of the hill overlooking the city!
I'm a hero, you know.
Yes, sir.
I should have that artist make a statue of me.
Yes, sir, an excellent idea!
Hey, you!
Wh..What's that?!
Ridiculous! I refuse!
What a conceited guy!
You're not seriously refusing me, are you?
If you are, that means death.
Indeed, I am.
Do as you like with me.
Kill me!
Sculpture comes from the heart of a human.
Robots have no hearts.
A statue without a heart is only so much stone.
I won't carve a stone!
Shut up!
Stop shouting at once.
If you don't, everything here, including yourself...
No, every object of art on the Earth will be burnt away.
H..How dare you?
Take him away!
That fool!
Barashin, you say there's another present.
Yes, sir! Bring him in.
Ca..Casshan!
That's right.
That's funny.
ls this the kid who has been driving us thoroughly out of our wits?
Kill him!
Seal him in concrete and let the humans learn a lesson!
Dammit. - -
Normally, I could get this thing off,
but my energy seems to have dissipated
Take him out.
Stop!
You don't deserve to be killed simply.
I'll have you do something interesting before you die.
Have Casshan help make the hero's statue.
A hero's statue?
Don't you see?
I'm going to have a statue made of Braiking Boss,
the hero who conquered the humans.
I'll let you help make it.
No one would make a statue of you!
Why you!
Silence him!
Throw him in the solitary cell.
Nobody will hear him, no matter how he howls or yells.
He's a devil!
I'm a hero!
That night, a car entered Silent Green City.
As though to avoid being seen by people,
the car arrived at the the Andro Army base quietly.
The man who was let out of the car was Dr. Azuma,
who had first been imprisoned in the old castle by the Andro Army
and then taken to some unknown location.
Dr. Azuma, the father whom Casshan has been looking for desperately, is now in front of him.
Casshan's heartbeat quickened.
Father!
Tetsuya?
Father!
Father is safe.
Father!
Father, please wait.
I'll save you without fail.
Yes, I'll do it.
But what is he doing here?
What's on Braiking Boss' mind?
You sold your soul to the robot, didn't you?
I was only told to cooperate with you.
Cooperate? Aren't you a scientist?
What can a scientist do to cooperate in making a statue?
Braiking Boss has asked me to install a horrible device in the statue you'll be making.
A device?
A device to make any human submit within an instant.
Wh..What?!
He says you must start working on it first thing in the morning.
You better get to sleep early.
Are you seriously undertaking such a job?
Can anyone protest?
Dammit!
What a thing to do!
At dawn the next day, construction was started on the gigantic statue.
People were made to work instead of robots.
It was a strange sight to see.
Casshan endured.
He hid his identity and acted like a human,
not even protesting his fate.
He firmly believed that
simply enduring would lead to an opportunity to see Dr. Azuma.
Hey, pull yourself together!
Damn, if only the sun would come out...
Casshan...
open your eyes.
Casshan!
Mother!
Casshan, I've come to let you know about a horrible scheme.
A horrible scheme?
That's right.
Braiking Boss has made your father
invent a brain control device that will work on humans.
A brain control device?!
I... Impossible!
To think that Father would betray humans
by attaching such a dreadful device to a gigantic statue of that devil.
It's sad but it's true.
That's ridiculous!
That Father would lead mankind to destruction...
Mother, Father isn't a person like that.
Mother!
I can't be wasting my time in a place like this.
I must do something!
I must see Father and ask him why.
Casshan, it's time to die.
By order of His Excellency, Braiking Boss,
you'll be covered in concrete and set up as a warning to other humans!
The construction of the gigantic statue was progressing smoothly.
It was a thing suitable to be called a gigantic statue of the devil.
The gigantic statue of the devil was nearly complete,
and the horrible scheme to have humans submit the instant construction was finished
was still a secret.
Oh, Swanee, I was waiting for you.
Please tell Casshan what I am going to tell you now.
Do you mean that something serious has happened to Casshan?
I see.
But Casshan is immortal.
There is something that must be done by Casshan.
Do you understand? Be sure to tell him.
Here!
Have him fix this in the forehead of the gigantic statue when it is completed.
I thought of a method of destroying Braiking Boss and the whole of the Andro Army
using the statue that I was forced to make by Braiking Boss.
Just by affixing this brainwave control to the forehead,
the super high frequency will reverse from plus to minus
and the equipment will instead disorder the electronic brains of the robots.
If this succeeds, the robots will fall one after the other within ten seconds or so,
and will be entirely wiped out.
That's why I want Casshan to do this job.
Otherwise, I really will be making all humans take the road to destruction.
I'm relying on you, Swanee.
You came to get me.
Where are you going to take me this time?
Thus, Dr. Azuma was taken away to some unknown destination.
Dr. Azuma had entrusted everything to Casshan,
but there was one thing he was still concerned about.
He was worried that, when Casshan carried out the plan,
not only the robots of the Andro Army,
but perhaps the electronic brain of the neo-human, Casshan,
would also be put out of order.
No, Casshan will be able to get through it.
Surely...
Casshan, try to hold out!
Hang on to the end, Casshan!
Casshan, you must wake up.
The unveiling ceremony will take place in the morning.
Casshan, hang in there!
You must show your strength!
Mother!
Casshan, you must go.
You need to put that coil in the forehead of the gigantic statue.
If you do that, human beings won't have to obey Braiking Boss.
Casshan, your father didn't betray mankind.
I see, Father didn't sell his soul to the Andro Army after all.
Casshan, your father has gambled everything on you.
Do your best!
It is starting to get light out.
The whole town is quiet for now.
Call Flender with all your might.
He will surely come.
Right, I'll give it a shot!
It's Casshan.
Casshan is safe.
Flender!
I'll be hiding for a while in a place out of reach of the super high frequency.
Oh, it's dawn.
Father, I'll fight to the end.
In a little while, all you humans will be kneeling before me.
I'm a true hero!
Oh, it's the sun!
Hail, Braiking!
What's that?!
Fire! Fire!
Casshan is immortal.
Wretch, you're still alive?!
Don't let him come near the statue!
Wh..What's going on?
Wh..What is happening?
There's something wrong with the robots.
The electro magnetic wave transmitted from the gigantic statue of the devil
completely affected the electronic brains of the robots.
The robots struggled, suffered and went mad,
and the inefficient ones exploded one after the other.
The people in captivity did not let this opportunity to escape go
and ran away from the robots.
I see, the gigantic statue we made drove the robots mad.
I know...
That scientist did something to the robots.
Humans cannot ever be beaten by things like robots!
I can't be beaten...
My electronic brain should be superior to the robots' brains.
You wretch!
You wretch...
Braiking Boss!
That Casshan...
What did he do to my statue?
Where is Casshan?
Damn you, Casshan!
With the cooperation of father and son,
the gigantic statue of the devil collapsed without difficulty.
However, it cannot be expected that Braiking Boss will give up so easily.
Go on fighting until the true peace is restored!
Casshan, mankind's star of hope.
Who will do it if not Casshan?
My appearance hasn't changed
But my arm can even smash iron
I abandoned my dreams and hopes yesterday
Fighting is the only reason I live on
I am the neo-human Casshan
Braiking Boss begins a covert train operation
in order to send Dr. Azuma to his secret robot factory.
This is a chance for Casshan to save his father, so he heads out to the factory.
The father and his son finally have an emotional reunion.
But before they know it, the fangs of Warugada close in on Casshan,
who's exhausted his energy.
Will Casshan be able to rescue Dr. Azuma?
Next time on Casshan: "The Iron Train of Evil"
Look forward to it!
