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

Casshan, Casshan!
The Town That Doesn't Need Casshan
The Andro Army was heading for Hatenai City.
After setting up its headquarters in Hatenai City,
The Andro Army planned to attack the neighboring city of Booky,
where a gigantic factory had been built to produce arms to defeat the Andro Army.
After they obtained detailed information on the Andro Army's attack plan,
an emergency meeting was held in Hatenai City immediately.
They discussed whether to flee from Hatenai City
or arm themselves and fight against the the Andro Army.
But neither option fully won over the mayor.
We were born and brought up in this city.
We all consider this city our lives.
We don't want to see our city ruined by war.
And at the same time, we don't want to lose precious lives either.
Even if we decide to fight against the Andro Army,
they are not an enemy we can defeat.
Gentlemen, we have no option but to obey the Andro Army!
Peace will return if the robots are shown what human pride is.
There is nothing more important than human lives.
We must survive at any cost.
Let's surrender!
I agree! I agree!
Submission is the only way to survive!
Right! That's right!
Even if we decide to fight against them, they are not an enemy that we can defeat.
Wait a second!
Who are you?!
I'm Casshan.
Why did you come in without permission?
What we're discussing is...
I know!
I've heard the whole story.
What? What do you mean by that?
Gentlemen, listen to me!
It's quite obvious that the Andro Army will attack Booky City after occupying Hatenai City.
Thus, we've got to check the enemy here at all costs.
What nonsense!
Why do we have to make sacrifices for the next city?!
I'm afraid that you don't know how cruel these robots are.
There is no way to survive without fighting against them.
So, please leave everything to me.
I promise that I'll beat the Andro Army.
Don't say such cheeky things!
That's none of your business!
You impertinent pup!
Mayor!
We just decided to refuse to fight, didn't we?!
I've heard a rumor about you.
You seem to be a man who lives only to fight,
but we don't need you!
But without fighting...
I'm sure peace will return to us!
We will do nothing now, but wait for the time when the Andro Army leaves this city.
Please change your mind!
Don't you know robots have no human understanding at all?
I don't like a man who fights under the pretext of peace like you!
The time will come when you'll have to arm yourself.
Shut up!
Get out of here.
I'm sure you'll be sorry for your decision.
Let's go!
Come with me!
The people of this city don't need me.
Why in the world did I become a neo-human?
Wasn't it to save people?!
What's this all about?!
We don't want even a single person in this city trying to resist the Andro Army.
So it's best if you die now!
Shoot!
Damn it! Shoot! Shoot!
No, don't do that! Damn it! Shoot! Shoot!
Did you order them to shoot at me?
You crook!
You're trying to kill me despite your words of peace!
I didn't give any kind of order.
You gave the order, didn't you, Bond?!
Yes, to save our city.
You still don't understand my intentions at all!
But...
You fool!
Casshan, I hate violence, so you may leave peacefully.
If you stay, you have to watch without doing anything,
otherwise I can't guarantee your safety here.
I'll do as you wish.
I'll watch and see how you suffer.
Through a city assembly, the mayor of Hatenai City
advised his citizens to surrender to the Andro Army.
There was no guarantee for those who tried to resist the Andro Army.
Andro Army, welcome to Hatenai City.
We swear to work for you as your servants,
to put up with anything, and to obey you from today.
This is to inform all the citizens of Hatenai City.
Effective immediately,
you are not allowed to put up any resistance against the Andro Army.
Hatenai City will not take any responsibility for your reckless attempts.
We are to maintain peace without fighting them.
I... I shall never give in to such robots!
Let that be a warning to others.
Damn you, Andro Army!
How can I watch them without doing anything?
Mayor, I hear that you decided to pledge allegiance to us.
Yes! We shall obey your orders, no matter what they might be.
We robots once worked for humans, but from now on you humans work for us.
Don't you think it sounds quite funny?
But we cannot trust you,
so as mayor, you have to set an example of how obedient humans are!
What do you mean?
Well...
This is not a comfortable chair at all, so I want you to be my chair.
Yes, sir.
What's wrong with you?
That wooden chair is stronger than you.
How comfortable!
You guys can sit on human chairs and relax too.
Yes, sir!
Serve as our chairs!
Quick!
There!
Here!
I wonder if protecting peace is really worth doing such things?
Remember, this is just our first order!
You have to work as machines from today.
You must finish your assigned work faithfully.
When the humans gave up their free will and surrendered to the robots,
they turned into mere machines.
The Andro Army was able to successfully complete preparations for the attack on Booky City.
Flender, we're lucky not to have Luna with us.
A girl like Luna would hardly be able to bear such a scene.
They are worse than slaves.
They are no longer human.
If they've maintained their free will,
there may be some who won't put up with this situation any longer.
Dammit. - -
Damn you, Andro Army!
You liar! ls this the peace you wanted?
We want to fight!
We prefer death! We want to fight!
We will no longer bear such submission!
That's right!
Show your face, Mayor!
You liar!
Oh, Bond, it's you.
Mayor, Oh, Bond, it's you.
Braiking Boss asks you to come to his official residence.
Probably about Casshan.
I told you we should have killed him.
We have no choice but to fight since Casshan has already fought some robots.
Mayor, you must be scared of the Andro Army!
You fool!
Forgive me! How shameful! Why did I do such a thing?!
I must be exhausted.
Come out here, Mayor! I must be exhausted.
You murderer!
My fellow citizens, listen to me!
Our perseverance will be over soon.
I'm sure the Andro Army will leave our city before long.
So, try to put up with our present sufferings.
They are not an enemy which we would be able to win against!
We shall be able to enjoy real peace after overcoming our present sufferings.
I don't want there to be any more victims.
Please, understand me.
Please!
What's this all about?
Welcome, Mayor.
We are celebrating our victory over Hatenai City.
Help me, please.
Please, please stop it!
The assembly members should also suffer since the citizens are suffering.
Otherwise, they will never understand what submission means.
But I won't ask you to do the same,
because you are a hero who persuaded your citizens to surrender to us.
ls that your answer?
Now listen, if you think the lives of your citizens are important, kill Casshan!
I don't know who Casshan is!
My robots were destroyed one after another.
It could only have been done by Casshan.
Casshan is in this city.
I don't believe that you don't know Casshan!
I'm sorry I don't know.
Don't make light of our information.
Now, listen carefully!
If you really want to save your citizens, kill Casshan!
I'm sure you can get near him, because he is careless around humans.
What on earth brought you here? Why are you still in this city?
You have averted your eyes from the pitiful people of this city.
Do you still want to force your opinions on your people?
They are no longer human.
I'm sure you finally understand what I told you before!
Did you come here to be proud of your judgment?
What?
You can hit me if you want to without worrying.
I won't hit you back even if you hit me.
Now, what will you do?
I hate fighting.
I wait until my opponent stops hitting me.
If you really want to save people, get out of this city.
I don't want to shoot you.
Well?
I have risked my life fighting to save people,
and this is the first time I've been hated by those same people.
Well, I don't like this city!
You and your people can suffer for your peace!
And you can suffer whenever you fight.
What?!
You mean the mayor helped Casshan get out of the city?
I'll teach him the penalty for this!
Please, please give me my freedom!
I'll be one of your loyal servants!
I don't need any servants except robots.
Robots neither lie nor betray me.
You will betray me in the near future.
Why me?!
I'll give you freedom, but not in this world.
H..Help me!
I can't breathe.
I'll fight against the Andro Army in the next city.
Hey you, wait!
Now, follow my orders or you will be killed.
Please, don't kill me. I don't want to die!
Wait!
Hey you, wait!
Casshan...
What happened to you?!
Ca..Casshan...
Help our city... Mayor... please!
Flender Jet!
Casshan!
Braiking Boss, I'll never let you have your own world as long as I live.
Why you...
Hail, Braiking!
Casshan, why you...
I'll make you pay for this!
Retreat!
Cowards!
Mayor!
ls this the peace I wanted?
Hang in there!
I know you probably sneer at me.
That's not true.
Even though I'm dying, you don't need to sympathize with me.
I still think I'm right.
I just wanted to tell you so.
Mayor!
The only thing I have been sorry for in my life is when I pointed that rifle at you.
P..Peace...
The mayor might be preaching peace in paradise now.
He was a good man, indeed.
The city was ruined.
Its people were dead.
We wonder if the mayor was wrong.
He suffered enough for peace.
On the other hand, Casshan lives only to fight.
The fates of these two men who stuck to their own principles were completely different.
But their goal, peace, was the same.
Casshan, keep the dream of tomorrow in your memory and live long for the Mayor.
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
Braiking Boss is after special explosives
that are powerful enough to blow up thousands of robots all at once,
and attacks the explosive researcher's house.
Casshan rushes to the scene,
but all he finds there is a single puppy and no sign of the explosives.
Casshan engages in a fierce battle with the Andro Army, which is after the explosives.
Where did the powerful explosives go?
Next time on Casshan: "Puppy Runs For Vengeance"
Look forward to it!
