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

Casshan, Casshan!
A Giant Elephant VS. The Andro Army
Arms for the National Defense Forces are exclusively produced in Wave City in Palchia.
Casshan learned that the Andro Army was heading there,
and rushed to the city in the Flender Jet.
Wave City is a seaport which grew through the excavation of many canals.
It is a heavy industrial city, full of life.
It is surrounded by high mountains on the landward side,
making canals the only means of transportation.
Thus, the canals are busy and crowded with vessels.
The Andro Army's goal in attacking Wave City
was to cut off the supply of arms to the National Defense Forces.
Casshan wanted to warn the citizens of the forthcoming attack
and urge them to guard the city against it,
and flew there in the Flender Jet.
But the city itself was peaceful.
A circus was performing in the city's Central Plaza
and the spectators were applauding the wonderful performance.
Stop the performance?!
The Andro Army is coming over the mountains.
You have to take refuge before they come.
YOU jerk!
Are you trying to pick a fight?
We won't stop the performance even if the Andro Army attacks.
Why not?!
We're the sort of entertainers who challenge danger.
That's right, we'll never stop!
He's right; let's dance.
You don't know how terrible the Andro Army is.
Who told you to interfere with our performance?
Who are you?
I'm Luna.
His name is Casshan.
We're your friends.
You mean you are supporters of justice, don't you?
This moves me to tears.
Hey, what are you doing?
You!
Ah, he's suspended in the air.
Let go of him, Jumbo!
I wonder why they don't believe us?
Hey, Casshan!
There's no time left.
It will be too late after the Andro Army attacks.
Sorry about before.
Did you get angry with me?
Are you always with that elephant?
Jumbo is very strong.
He can take care of the Andro Army right away.
I see, you can be proud of him.
Won't you come to see our performance at the circus?
This isn't the time to see the circus, you know.
But...
I'd like to see the performance you put on at the risk of your lives.
I wonder where they're coming from ?
Around that time,
The Andro Army had approached to within a kilometer of Wave City.
And the advance squad...
Next, we present our best act, the lion show.
Wh..What's that?!
It's Warudagar!
Help me!
Flender!
This way, please!
They're robots!
The sudden appearance of the Andro Army sent the circus tent into complete chaos.
Spectators fled this way and that to escape, and the tent became hellish.
Sally!
Kill them!
Sally!
Casshan!
I'll always be wherever you appear.
Don't forget this!
Damn Casshan!
Get him!
Fire! Fire!
Fire!
You fool!
R..Retreat!
Retreat!
Kim dear!
Kin]!
Ca..Casshan!
Kim is safe, Jumbo!
Hey, hey!
Why did you die, Papa?
Papa!
Be a brave and honest man, Kim.
Rebuild this circus and give courage and laughter
to people throughout the world.
Okay, Kim?
Never yield and become a strong man.
Papa!
Dammit! Damn you, Andro Army!
Give my papa back!
Return the circus to its former state!
Who made that damn robot?!
Who made it?
Tell me who built that robot!
There they are!
Over here!
Right there! Over here!
What are you going to do?
Shut up!
You're spies for the Andro Army!
Us? Why?
You guided them here under the pretext of being a circus troupe!
What did you say?!
We're their victims.
The circus was destroyed and my husband-
Don't be fooled!
That's part of their deception too.
My family was burnt to death at the circus.
My son was mauled by your man-eating lion!
Papa's lion would never eat a man!
I'll shoot you dead!
Whoa!
What are you doing to this innocent elephant?
If you have time to have suspicions, why don't you set up a barricade?
I'm sure the Andro Army will be returning.
You all will be killed next time.
What should we do?
We'd better escape from here before they come.
Yeah!
Everyone, collect your belongings and take shelter!
Hurry now!
They're abandoning their city.
What kind of people are they?
Thank you, Casshan.
Without your help, Jumbo and I would have been killed.
What a shame they suspected us!
I can't stand it.
Why did this happen?
I think they misunderstood us because the Andro Army appeared at the circus.
What should I do about this?
I have to clear up the suspicions, no matter what.
Papa!Papa!
Kim...
Poor thing.
I have to prove there's no connection between the circus troupe and the Andro Army.
This is more than Kim and his friends can bear.
Swanee!
Casshan, I was able to come at last.
Don't try to do too much, Mother.
If worst comes to worst...
Danger is closing in on you and this city, you know.
The Andro Army will attack via the canals.
Through the canals too?!
I see, they intend to cut off any retreat.
They have a strategy to capture you alive.
Be careful!
I'm immortal.
But why did they attack the circus tent?
They tried to throw the city into confusion by making use of the circus.
It's just as I thought.
Mother!
I'm counting on you, Casshan.
It's a swan robot.
Casshan!
Swanee has brought some information, Luna.
Information ?
What on earth are you doing, Casshan?
What?
We have no path of retreat other than the canals.
But they're going to attack through the canals.
So, you're saying that we're going to be killed without any hesitation?
We'll have to protect the city with a united effort!
We are no match for them!
Right, right!
We can make a large fire by collecting small lights.
Let's unite!
Don't you want to protect the city?
Life is more important.
The ship is leaving!
Let's escape out to sea via the canals right away!
Yes, that's right!
Get out of the way! Yes, that's right!
What stubborn people they are!
What are you going to do?
I'm the mayor of this city.
You can't fool us anymore.
Fool you?
You guided the Andro Army here and brought chaos to this city.
You're the Andro Army spy!
What are you saying, Martha?
I saw him get some information from a swan robot.
What?
Mama, what are you saying?
He's not a bad man.
You know he rescued me and Jumbo.
He did that in order to trick us.
You're under arrest!
Put your hands over your heads.
Look at the dog, Kim.
It's a robot dog.
Casshan is a spy for the robots.
That's not true, is it, Casshan?
Kim...
Walk!
You too!
Casshan...
Don't say anything right now. Casshan...
You either, Flender!
Casshan!
The Andro Army commenced their attack as they had planned.
The National Defense Force fought back,
but the Andro Army marched to the center of the city.
Casshan isn't a bad man.
You agree with me, don't you, Jumbo?
Hey, boy, run! You're in danger!
The Andro Army is coming!
Kin]!
Stop it!
You'll blow up Kim with the robots!
Dammit!
Casshan, what are you going to do?
I can't do anything in here!
Oh, Casshan has escaped!
What?
Watch out!
Kin]!
Casshan!
Kin]!
Mama!
Kin]!
Casshan!
You...
Casshan really is a good man, just as I thought!
Now, come on, Andro Army!
Damn him!
Get him!
Casshan's energy...
What's happened to you, Casshan?
Hail, Braiking!
It's no good!
I'm losing power.
Casshan! I'm losing power.
Casshan!
You idiot!
Casshan is in danger!
Go, Jumbo!
Go and help Casshan!
Go, Jumbo!
Kim! Jumbo! Come back!
Go, Jumbo!
Kim...
The citizens saw Kim and Jumbo risk their lives fighting
and were moved.
It was their own city which was being destroyed right in front of them.
Take up arms, all of you!
Let's fig ht!
Yes!
Defend the city from the Andro Army!
Cover Jumbo!
Take up arms!
Aim at their electronic brains!
Right!
With the desperate resistance of the citizens,
The Andro Army gave way and the invasion of Wave City failed.
The unity of the people saved the city,
but there were sacrifices.
Jumbo!
Forgive me, Kim!
It's my fault Jumbo died.
No, it's because I was suspicious of you.
We were all suspicious.
I'm sorry, Jumbo.
We have to avenge the deaths of the ring master and Jumbo.
We have to unite and fight from now on.
Kim, let's rebuild the circus.
Without Papa or Jumbo?
We'll collect our colleagues throughout the world.
We'll give hope to the people of the world
through our performances which we'll risk our lives putting on.
I'm sure you'll accomplish that much, Kim!
Casshan...
Jumbo fought against the Andro Army bravely and died.
Will the day come when the trumpet of the circus sounds peacefully throughout the world?
Casshan felt a renewed fighting spirit welling up in his body.
Fight, 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
Fearsome explosive robots, which are capable of melting people in an instant,
attack cities one by one.
The President is pressured to make a decision,
but is torn between surrendering and peace.
Casshan asks Swanee to find the location of the explosive robot factory.
But the search is difficult
and time is running out for the President to make a decision.
Next time on Casshan: “The Clown Robot of Terror"
Look forward to it!
