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!
The Iron Train of Evil
This town, completely taken over by the Andro Army
and now without a soul living in it,
was, once upon a time, a peaceful and pleasant place.
In order to spy on Braiking Boss,
Dr. Azuma hid Casshan's mother, Midori, in the electronic brain of Swanee.
Everyday, she prayed for peace to come at the earliest date possible.
However, Casshan's meeting with Dr. Azuma, who has the key to it all,
was only fleeting.
Now no one has any idea whatsoever of where he is imprisoned.
Swanee, you seem to be out of sorts.
I'm also out of sorts, probably because there's not much energy left in me.
Swanee, let's go get more energy.
Come on.
ls this uran soup?
Wonderful!
Swanee, isn't it nice to take in energy the same way the humans do?
What's next?
Deep fried uran!
Looks good!
You can eat it too.
Your Excellency!
I have found a suitable country for construction of a secret underground robot factory.
Thank you for your trouble, Barashin.
Yes, sir!
Send Dr. Azuma there immediately and make him research the manufacture of strong robots.
However, it isn't possible to get there without passing through the country of Aittz.
Aittz is the leading country in scientific development.
They have a very strong defense force as well.
I'm not afraid of a little thing like Aittz's scientific advancements!
Send Dr. Azuma there immediately and make him research the manufacture of strong robots.
He'll surely be sent to a country somewhere far away.
If I lose this chance, I'll never be able to save him.
Casshan, where are you?
Save your father!
Our army will take action against Aittz in the near future.
Casshan is bound to be in this city,
and when he sees our movements, will no doubt try to hinder us.
Guard Robots, patrol the town and discover Casshan's location.
Go!
Hail, Braiking!
Hidden inside the robot's stomach, Swanee looked for Casshan,
walking through places which held memories of a time when it was peaceful.
However, there was no sign of Casshan in those familiar places.
Shooting Star Kick!
Are you still here?
Oh, Swanee!
Mother!
Casshan and Flender, both of you, are so brave.
There hasn't been an unguarded moment.
Don't you ever forget that feeling.
Mother, is Braiking Boss up to something again?
Casshan, a chance has come to rescue your father.
What?
Braiking Boss intends to send your father to a certain country.
Father!
He is alive.
I'm sure Braiking Boss has been making him suffer.
If you let this chance go, Braiking Boss will truly make use of your father.
He will be made to suffer even more.
Father, please wait.
I'll save him without fail!
They are invading Aittz to construct an underground robot factory.
Aittz is a country of science.
It won't be so easy for them.
No, Braiking Boss is a dreadful android with wicked ideas.
No one can tell what kind of a trick he will play.
Yes!
Mother, Braiking Boss will begin to suspect you again if Swanee isn't around.
Please go back now.
Casshan, I'll fight this time too.
I hope your father will be rescued so that the three of us can live as we did before.
Mother!
Mother...
Casshan...
I want to hold my mother's real, warm hand.
Let's endure until that day comes, Casshan.
Yes!
I'm counting on you, Casshan.
The guerrillas of the Andro Army started to attack the border of Aittz,
a country which prided itself on being the world leader in scientific power.
However, Aittz's National Defense Force was powerful.
Additionally, Casshan and Flender fought so desperately
that the guerrillas of the Andro Army were completely wiped out.
However, Casshan spent all his solar energy and is weak.
He must get up now; the crisis is near.
Casshan, that bastard!
He's gotten in our way again!
Your Excellency, the phalanx attack is no longer effective since our losses keep increasing.
Yes, here's a good trick.
Yes, sir?
A trick to get Dr. Azuma through before Aittz becomes aware of it.
Sir, what could that trick be?
Akubon, construct a special robot.
Pardon? A special robot?
That's right.
The train was rushing straight towards Aittz.
Luna's heart was flying to Casshan who was waiting for her at a station near the border.
We'll be at the Aittz border station soon.
Yes.
Look out!
Fools, watch where you're going!
Huh?
What are you doing, monster?!
L..It's the same train.
Wh..What's this?!
Who would notice that this is an Andro Army train carrying Dr. Azuma?
We'll cross the country of Aittz in this.
Old man, you're two minutes late. Anything wrong?
Well, i..it was the r..robots...
Ouch!
The robots? What happened?
N..No, |..| suffer from neuralgia, you know.
It's painful.
Old man, there's something wrong with you.
Be careful in your driving.
Thank you.
Start! Go!
Old man, don't talk too much.
You'll be hurt if you do, idiot.
Y..Yes!
We've managed to cross the border safely.
Luna, wandering around the border,
was found by Flender and hastened to where Casshan was.
However, Casshan's supply of solar energy was still insufficient.
Father must be on that robot train.
If I let this opportunity pass by...
Wait!
Casshan, it's not possible in the condition you're in.
It's no use trying to stop me, Luna.
I'm going.
I'll fight till the body of this neo-human falls apart.
I'm going also.
No!
If I have to attack, Braiking Boss will be desperate.
It will be a fight between him and me!
Flender, come!
Wait for me, Casshan!
Flender Jet!
Mother...
Father!
Tetsuya!
Casshan!
Father, I've wanted to see you.
I've wanted to see you too.
Casshan, just a little more patience.
Please endure with your mother.
Father, you can see Mother too.
What?
Swanee!
Midori!
Casshan. I'm so happy that you came.
The three of us, parents and son, can finally see one another.
If only Father could be with me,
Mother could also get out of Swanee.
The three of us could live together again.
But you...
You can't be human again.
Poor Casshan!
I was reborn for the purpose of destroying the Andro Army.
But I'll always be the same old Tetsuya in my heart.
A robot is coming.
Quickly, take care of your father.
Yes, you hurry too!
Father, please step back.
Casshan!
Braiking Boss!
Casshan, are you going to stand in my way again?
I'm going to get Dr. Azuma back.
You're half asleep!
Don't whine, you daredevil!
Today, I'll send you to the world beyond for sure.
Hey, old man, stop the train!
Hurry up, stop it!
G..Got it.
Shooting Star Kick!
Electric Punch!
After being alerted by Luna, the Aittz army train arrived.
The secret train strategy of Braiking Boss was a failure
and the Andro Army was in danger.
They're coming!
L..Let me go! Pl..Please!
I've no use for you.
Do as you wish and go, fool.
Damn!
The final phase of the operation!
Hail, Braiking!
General attack, commence!
Casshan, my strategy ended in failure because of you.
I will, however, beat you without fail and make the world ours.
Warudagar, come!
Wait, Braiking Boss!
Casshan, I will never be beaten!
I'll think of a way of bringing Braiking Boss down for sure!
Casshan, our hearts will always be together.
The fateful three, parents and son, met but only for an instant.
Dr. Azuma remained in captivity.
Casshan's heart was filled with sadness
because he hadn't been able to rescue his father.
Casshan! Casshan!
Father, Mother, I won't be beaten.
I'm Casshan, the neo-human.
I promise...
I'll save him for sure!
Casshan, the immortal who gets up each time he is beaten
and challenges the Andro Army to a fight.
Don't give up hope, Casshan!
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
The young man Casshan saved turns out to be Android 5,
and because of that, Casshan is captured by the Andro Army.
However, with a righteous heart, Android saves Casshan
and the two escape together.
Friendship grows between Casshan and Android 5, but doesn't last long.
Luna's MF Gun gets stolen, and now it points at Casshan!
Next time on Casshan: "Android 5, the Robot of Betrayal"
Look forward to it!
