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!
The Robot Lullaby
During the full moon,
Casshan becomes impatient to see his mother, Midori.
He came to the old castle tonight, though he knows how dangerous it is.
Despite the fact that Casshan is a neo-human,
he longs to see his mother.
Above all, seeing Midori is the best chance for him to ask her
where his father, Dr. Azuma, is and what Braiking Boss has in mind.
Swanee!
Swanee...
Mother...
Mother, I'm glad you're all right.
Casshan, I'm protected by Swanee.
If your father had not hidden me in Swanee's body when he did,
I would have been killed by Braiking Boss and would never have seen you again.
Dr. Azuma, who had been caught by Braiking Boss,
tried his best to spare Midori's life by pretending to cooperate.
After being allowed to do research, he took Midori to the lab
and placed her memory in an electronic brain packed in a mini capsule.
Then, the mini capsule was inserted into the safe body of Swanee.
Casshan, Braiking Boss is planning to seize a big factory in Combina.
What?
But Combina is well guarded.
How does he plan to seize the factory there?
He will, Braiking Boss has something on his mind.
I'll save the city before he gets there.
I'll never let the Andro Army get their way.
Casshan, be careful!
Yes, Mother.
If we seize the factory in Combina,
we'll be able to produce robot soldiers five times faster than we do now in the castle.
We need more robot soldiers.
The number of robots destroyed by Casshan has grown to more than ten thousand.
Casshan will surely come to Combina.
What tactics will you use to attack the well-guarded Combina, Your Excellency?
If we fail to handle this properly, we'll be the mice in a trap.
We intend to become mice in a trap.
Pardon?!
It would be a great loss to destroy all of the machines,
so we must devise tactics to win them over.
Win them over?
Take a good look at these!
Oh, electronic brains!
Correct.
These don't respond to human orders.
On the contrary, they attack them.
So, we are going to install these electronic brains in all the machines in the factory.
The machines will start to function when they hear our robotic orders.
Then, the machines will kill the humans.
Afterwards, we'll be able to seize the factory without effort.
Who is going to install these electric brains in all machines in the factory?
Don't worry about that!
Spy Robot 00A!
00A is designed to be a superb spy robot.
When he sees humans, he kills them without fail!
Yes, I kill humans when I see them.
I shall install the electronic brains into all of the machines in the factory.
Okay, leave here tomorrow night.
Yes, sir.
Take these electronic brains.
I will succeed in my mission by any means.
Hail, Braiking!
00A is designed to be unfeeling.
It is a cruel and merciless robot.
I'm sure he will succeed in his mission.
When the robots start attacking the humans,
The Andro Army robots will enter the city and seize the factory.
This time, Casshan will not know how to deal with us.
Combina is an industrial city surrounded by a big fortress.
Up-to-date machines have been installed in every factory there.
Hey, you!
You can't enter without permission.
We heard the factories here would be attacked by the Andro Army.
We are here to save this city.
Wh..What?!
Nonsense!
You know, this city is protected by a big fortress, which only enables robots to enter.
Sir, Braiking Boss is a cruel android and you shouldn't make light of him.
Please let us guard this city too.
What?
You two children and your robot dog want to try and guard our city?
Oh, Maria!
Maria!
Are you all right, now?
Look, a robot dog!
Maria!
You're cute!
You like Flender, don't you, Maria?
ls this your toy?
That's right!
I like robot toys very much.
I'd like to have one.
Flender, take Maria for a ride.
I'm riding a robot like a horse!
Thank you, you saved my daughter.
I never would have imagined that you had such superb power.
I think I can rely on your help.
We are short on security, so please guard this factory.
I am going to guard all the factories in this city.
Flender, let's go.
Okay, Maria...
Father, I'd like to have a robot friend too.
Don't talk nonsense.
Except for that dog, there aren't any good robots.
Maria, we'll see you soon.
Bye, now. Maria, we'll see you soon.
Bye, now.
As the night wore on in the industrial city,
Casshan, Luna, and Flender were patrolling their own areas in the ghastly darkness.
You damn spy robot!
Let's do this!
Wait!
00A, who ran into the magnetic lab,
turned on the power switch by accident.
Magnetic currents are a deadly enemy to robots.
Who turned on the switch?
A robot!
Help!
Why am I here?
I don't know what happened to me.
Emergency! There's a robot in the factory!
Sir, where is the robot?
The magnetic lab!
The magnetic lab?!
Damn, we couldn't find the robot.
Casshan, that spy robot is very dangerous.
We've got to find him at all costs.
Yeah, but where in the world has he gone?
Well, it's time for Maria to get up.
I have to fix breakfast for her.
That's...
Good morning!
Why do you all look frightened?
Maria!
Flender!
What happened? You all look so frightened.
Father, I've got a robot friend.
Foolish girl, that's a cruel spy robot!
Come over here right now!
I'm not a fool, Father.
Robo-chan is kind. Right?
I do whatever Maria wants me to.
Did you hear him?
Casshan, what's going on?
He's the powerful robot who attacked me,
but I don't know what happened to him.
Maybe he's trying to trick us.
Casshan, we've got to be careful.
You attacked me.
It's no use trying to trick us.
Set Maria free!
I don't remember attacking you.
What?
Robots follow humans' orders.
You're lying!
What are you talking about?! You're lying!
Robots never lie.
How long do you think you can trick us? Now, come fight!
I hate violence. I never fight.
How horrible! I hate you!
Don't yell at Robo-chan!
My dear Maria, don't cry.
This is incredible...
ls he the same cruel robot who attacked me?
Adorable.
Casshan, tell me what I'm supposed to do.
I don't think he'll harm Maria.
We had better wait and see.
What have I gotten myself into?
Maria, let's go play.
Okay!
Maria!
What?! Casshan?
Yes, sir, I've just received information that Casshan is in Combina.
00A must have been destroyed by Casshan.
Send Spy Robot 00B to sneak into the city.
He will surely locate 00A.
We have no time to waste.
After 00B sneaks into the city, wait for his signal and attack at once!
Hail, Braiking!
There!
00B, who snuck into the city to find 00A,
was designed to be even more powerful.
00A!
You are the same model robot as I am.
Did you forget your important mission?
You must kill humans whenever you see them!
I cannot do such a thing.
A robot's true duty is to serve humans.
Fool!
The electronic brains within you must be installed in the machines!
I didn't know such things were inside me.
You are mad!
I can't let that girl live.
I won't let you hurt Maria.
You traitor!
Foolish robot!
Robo-chan!
Robo-chan, please don't die!
What happened, Maria?
A dreadful robot came and hurt Robo-chan.
What?! Luna, Flender!
Okay! Flender, come!
Maria...
Robo-chan, don't die.
Machines in this factory follow your orders, Maria, as I did.
Pretty soon, evil minded robots will arrive.
When they do, order the machines to fight against them.
Okay, Maria?
Robo-chan...
Watch out! Get down!
Robo-chan!
Maria, forgive me.
He was a very good robot.
I will beat all evil-minded robots for you and him.
Well done.
Success!
Hail, Braiking!
Wait!
This is revenge for 00A!
Here I come!
I don't feel pain!
There you are!
Casshan, we'll catch you this time for sure!
Hail, Braiking!
Come, Andro Army!
I can't rely on you any more.
Now, machines, destroy the humans!
Robo-chan, please protect me.
I'm going to beat the bad robots.
What's wrong with you, machines?!
Defeat the humans!
Machines, defeat the bad robots!
Beat the humans!
The machines are going mad!
Casshan, what happened to the machines?
Maybe the magnetic current altered the electronic brains placed in 00A.
Robo-chan, we used to play happily together.
But I can't play with you any more, can l?
When can we expect the world to be ﬁlled with good, warm-hearted robots?
A world of robots and humans who live in peace?
I'll try my best to fight against evil until such a world exists.
The love between a girl named Maria and a robot named 00A
is a symbol of the future peace between human beings and robots.
But when could we expect such peace?
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
The Andro Army bursts in during the circus
and the people suspect it was entirely set up.
Casshan tries to clear their name,
but the Defense Force spots him contacting Swanee and detains him.
At the same time, the Andro Army resumes their attack.
Casshan is unable to stop them, but then...
Next Episode of Casshan: “Giant Elephant VS. The Andro Army”
Look forward to it!
