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 Clown Robot of Terror
Now! Attack!
Oh!
The Andro Army, who plot to bring the world under their control,
breach the defenses of each nation one by one.
The National Defense Force cannot check their advance.
But here in Central Nation on the Central continent,
the National Defense Force is desperately guarding the front
under direction of the young President Lui.
The attack regiment was completely destroyed?
Yes, I'm sorry to report it, sir!
How many days do you need to occupy a small nation like this?
B..But they're surprisingly tough!
It's like they're "little but piquant," isn't it?
I... Idiots!
Get them!
You didn't have to hit me!
Here is the field hospital of Central Nation, located near the battlefield.
Salute President Lui!
I want to talk to the wounded soldiers.
Take me there!
Gentlemen, I hope you get better very soon and I pray for your return to the battlefield.
I want the civilians to take refuge from the battlefield as soon as possible.
Casshan and Luna fight against the Andro Army every day.
Luna is now in this hospital
after she was injured while fighting with the robots.
You're the people who fought against the robots.
I'm Casshan.
I'm Luna.
You two should get back to your parents as soon as you get better.
What?
This fight against the robots is not a game, you know!
President!
Destroy all the robots, will you?
They make me so mad!
Get better soon, boy.
I'll get them for sure.
Yeah! Promise me, Mr. President!
He doesn't know about our power.
Stop it, Luna.
But...
I'm glad the president promised you, Tommy.
You're lucky, Tommy.
Yes! Luna, let's compete with each other to see who can get better first.
I won't lose.
What are you talking about?
Nothing in particular.
I pray that the time will come soon when my power is no longer required.
Y..You...
Don't worry about me.
Instead, please fortify the guard on the defensive front.
The Andro Army is becoming active.
What?
You said Casshan was in the field hospital?
Yes, sir, the spy robot informed me that he was there together with Luna.
Akubon, get a pierrot robot headed there right away!
The pierrot robot is still under development, sir.
I don't care!
Destroy that cheeky Casshan with a pierrot robot this time!
Hail, Braiking!
The pierrot robot is a secret weapon held in reserve by the Andro Army.
The power of the secret weapon is...
Luna, you got better first!
I lost!
Goodbye, Tommy.
Hurry and get better soon.
I'm worried about the Andro Army's movements.
Let's hurry!
Okay! Let's hurry!
What's that?
It's a robot!
I wonder if it's a new robot from the Andro Army?
I don't know.
Damn robot, I'll destroy you!
What are you doing, mister?
My wife and children were killed by this robot!
This robot is funny, mister.
He isn't a villain.
Shut up!
Wow, you're pretty good!
Go, pierrot robot!
Watch out!
How mean!
Don't beat up the robot!
I don't think he's from the Andro Army.
Someone must have made that robot.
Now, let's get going, Casshan.
It's about time for the pierrot robot to reach the city.
Everyone's watching that funny pierrot robot.
They'll be off their guard.
We'll take advantage of this chance to destroy them.
It will be too late to do anything about our plan.
Be quiet.
That pierrot robot will explode very soon.
What's worrying you?
That robot...
Men can't make an elaborate robot like that.
You mean that the Andro Army must have made it?
No, there's nothing menacing about it.
But something's nagging at me.
In that headgear!
What?
There's something in that strangely elongated headgear!
There could be.
But what do you think it is?
There may be an explosive device in there!
The city has been turned to debris.
The city has disappeared.
Casshan, Tommy and the others...
That robot!
That pierrot robot must have exploded.
If I could have just seen through it sooner...
It's like I killed Tommy and the others!
It's unforgivable!
I'll get even with them!
As if in mockery of Casshan's determination,
pierrot robots appeared everywhere, one by one, and exploded.
Their strong destructive power struck people with terror.
Only President Lui
can decide if they will surrender or continue to fight.
Mr. President...
Five places in the eastern area were destroyed by the explosions of pierrot robots.
Wh..What?
A pierrot robot snuck into the public park.
What a merciless robot it is.
To have tricked such innocent children!
Mr. President, will we continue to fight?
We can't surrender!
The number of victims is increasing.
B..But...
Wh..Who's that?
It's Casshan.
Casshan?
Don't surrender, Mr. President!
You...
You're that boy I saw in the field hospital earlier.
That's right, Mr. President.
Why did you come here?
Mr. President, I beg you!
Please don't surrender to the Andro Army!
You can decide the destiny of this nation, President Lui.
No, the destiny of the world.
Mr. President!
I'm begging you!
I'll completely destroy all the pierrot robots.
You will?
Are you serious?
Do you think I'm insane?
Who are you?
Never surrender, please!
Wait!
Just who is that man?
It's a great victory.
They'll surrender very soon.
I'm looking forward to that occasion.
Barashin, don't hold back!
Now that Casshan is dead, I think I can play an active part this time.
Why are you making such a fuss, Swanee?
Are you mad?
Swanee!
Swanee, stop it!
Stop it, right now!
I can't spare anyone who resists me, even my cute pet!
Leave her alone for a while!
Swanee, who hadn't known of Casshan's death,
escaped from Braiking Boss and the Andro Army base.
But in an effort to completely destroy the pierrot robots, Casshan was lurking in the forest,
and searching for the factory where the pierrot robots were produced.
Casshan!
You're alive, Casshan!
I'm quite all right, as you can see.
I've been worried about you.
I'm all right.
You know better than anyone else that I'm immortal.
Yes, you're right.
Mother, I want you to search for the place where the pierrot robots are produced
and to get some data sheets on the production.
But I don't know how I can do that.
The information you get will determine whether humanity will win or lose.
I understand.
You're risking your life fighting.
I'll find the information at the risk of my own life.
Forgive me, Mother.
I don't want to put you in such danger, but...
It's all right.
Nobody can do this but me.
That's why I was put into Swanee.
Mother!
What should I do ?!
Should I surrender or continue to fight?
What do you want me to do?
Tell me!
Mr. President!
What's happened?
Your family... What's happened?
Polica City, where your family lives...
What?!
Was it attacked by pierrot robots?
Y..Yes, sir!
Then, what about my family?
I won't forgive them!
B..But I am the president.
I can't decide the destiny of the nation based on my personal feelings.
We'll have many more casualties if we continue to fight.
What shall I do?
Swanee evades the watch robot
and enters the control room of the factory where the robots are produced.
But she doesn't discover where the pierrot robots are made through the TV monitor.
Who left the TV on when they left the room?
How careless.
Something's suspicious here, isn't it?
That's the robot factory at Point V?
Yes, sir! Take a look please.
That's how the pierrot robots are made!
With this many pierrot robots, we can destroy the whole world at once.
We're no longer able to make powerfully destructive robots like the pierrot robots.
These are masterpieces we made by chance when the computer went out of order.
I heard a noise.
It's Swanee!
Why you!
Swanee!
What's happened?
Has Swanee really gone mad?
Swanee!
Did you find the factory, Swanee?
It's no good, Casshan.
You can't communicate with your mother during the daytime.
You'll have to wait for nightfall.
Dammit!
Swanee!
I see.
V? Point V?
Thank you.
Well done, Swanee!
Swanee is injured!
Hurry back right away, Swanee!
They won't be suspicious of you if you go back right away!
Now hurry!
Swanee can't move! Now hurry!
Mother, be patient just a little longer!
I'll go to Point V soon.
Mother!
President Lui must make a decision despite his uneasy state of mind.
If the fighting continues any longer, the number of the casualties will rise.
But he can't admit his defeat.
Never surrender, please!
Casshan...
Mr. President!
Your decision, please.
Everybody is waiting.
I'll completely destroy the pierrot robots.
I want to trust you, Casshan,
but I have to protect the people.
There have been too many victims already.
You came back, Swanee!
I thought you must have gone mad.
Listen, this nation will be in my possession pretty soon.
Gentlemen, I have made my decision!
To my regret, our defensive forces have been defeated by the Andro Army-
Please wait!
Casshan!
The pierrot robots are being made in a factory at Point V!
Point V!
Please order them to attack right away!
Right! Thank you!
The National Defense Force will make a general attack on the Andro Army.
Mobilize all forces!
Never retreat! Never!
I'll take care of everything here.
Please go to the factory!
O..Okay!
Flender Tank!
It's no good!
It's too strong.
Now, I can use my Super Destructive Beam!
Super Destructive Beam!
Damn you, Casshan!
I'll send you to Hell!
The pierrot robot factory was destroyed.
But this does not mean that humanity has won the fight.
The Andro Army attacks will continue forever like incessant rain.
Casshan, who used the Super Destructive Beam as a last resort,
has consumed almost all of his energy.
The rain continues to pour down on him mercilessly.
Keeping his secret as a neo-human from the people,
Casshan, an immortal man, challenges the endless fighting.
The sun will rise in the eastern sky tomorrow.
Stand up, Casshan!
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
Flender becomes rusty after being attacked by a rust robot.
And to make the matter worse, the Andro Army captures Casshan,
who has exhausted his energy.
The enormous Jambot is closing in on Casshan and he is given the death penalty.
Rain continues to fall, and the sun, which is Casshan's only hope,
won't even come out.
What's going to happen to Casshan and Flender?
Next time on Casshan: "Casshan Gets the Death Penalty"
Look forward to it!
