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!
Stake Victory on the Moonlight
A pollution disposal android went mad
and organized the Andro Army in an attack against the people.
Tetsuya, son of Dr. Azuma,
decided to give up being a human being and to become a neo-human
in order to fight against the Andro Army, which tried to conquer mankind.
Casshan's battle started.
Hiding the fact that he is Tetsuya and that he is a neo-human,
Casshan uses his Shooting Star Kicks
and bravely fights together with Flender, a robot dog.
But Dr. and Mrs. Azuma are taken away by the Andro Army.
Casshan chases after his parents to rescue them.
Hail, Braiking!
But Casshan was in the hand of an explosion robot
and the critical moment was drawing near.
Even Andro Army’s powerful explosive robot
couldn't destroy Dr. Azuma's creation, Flender.
Using the equipment in his nose, which can identify a smell up to one kilometer away,
Flender looked for Casshan.
I didn't even get a scratch from that big explosion.
That's right, I am an immortal neo-human.
Flender, chase after Father and Mother.
Wait!
Help us!
Save us!
St..Stop it!
Thank you very much.
We really appreciate it.
No, we can't make it.
We'll miss the plane!
Were you supposed to be on the refugee plane?
Yes.
Don't worry, I'll take you to the airport.
Flender Car!
I really appreciate this.
Who in the world are you?
I'm Casshan.
Casshan?
You are extraordinarily strong.
You don't seem to be a human being.
Dear, you shouldn't say such a thing.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Our town was destroyed.
Those dreadful robots!
It is my mission to protect people from the Andro Army.
Father, Mother, I will fijght on until I am broken to pieces.
The last refugee plane was just taking off.
Hurry! Please hurry!
This will be the last refugee plane!
Oh, hurry now!
I wanted to put Mother and Father on this plane.
Oh no, Andro Army!
Damn it!
To Hell with the Andro Army!
Flender Car!
Don't let that plane take off!
Let's lift off!
No, we can't yet.
Please be safe.
What's wrong with me?
My eyes...
I can't see!
What happened, kid?
Go!
Hail, Braiking!
Father, why?!
Why?!
How are you, Doctor? Have you decided?
If you don't obey my orders, you will die.
I don't care.
What?!
How is my wife?
Do you want to see her?
If you promise to cooperate with the Andro Army, I will let you see her.
I just don't want to waste your brain -
the brain which made an android like me.
The lightning worked on you to make you this crazy.
You were born by an accident.
No, I was destined to be born.
Craziness!
This is a crazy android.
Shut up! I will kill you too.
Just like the blind kid with a robot dog that was burned to death
by our military director, Barashin.
Casshan blind?!
His energy ran out.
Yes, sir, I understand.
Hey, His Excellency wants to see Mrs. Azuma.
Come! Braiking Boss wants to see you.
I brought her, sir.
Midori!
Well, Doctor, an android doesn't tell lies.
You must keep your promise.
Understand?!
You didn't...
Yes, I promised Braiking Boss to cooperate.
Oh no, you can't do that.
As his creator, I should choose death.
But if I die, he will die also.
We must protect Casshan.
Something happened, didn't it?
Please tell me!
Braiking Boss told me that they killed Casshan.
Oh, no!
No, he can't be killed that easily.
He needs power to keep fighting against Braiking Boss.
He needs an energy which will never be exhausted.
For that purpose, I must live.
Casshan! Please live.
He is alive.
A neo-human would not be killed by fire.
He will come here without fail.
But I will be taken away somewhere tomorrow.
Listen to me, Midori.
You must see Casshan.
But how?
To save your life and to make you the eyes and ears of Casshan,
there is no other way.
Mrs. Azuma escaped!
You let her escape?
Where did she go?
I don't know.
I will beat you to death.
No, I won't kill you.
You must cooperate with me.
I will find your wife and kill her without fail.
Midori, please forgive me.
Please endure for Casshan.
The sun - it is the life of Casshan.
The solar meter on his head takes in the sun's light
and changes it into energy for Casshan.
Yes, I can see.
The sun, the birds, and the sky!
I can see everything just fine!
Thank you, Flender.
You watched over me all night.
I guess that I can't see things when my energy runs out.
The sunlight gave me energy again.
Well, let's go, Flender!
We must save Father and Mother as soon as possible.
Flender, you wait here.
Father!
This old castle used to be a sweet home for Casshan.
Only a week ago,
he was Tetsuya Azuma and lived here with his parents happily.
But in this old castle,
Braiking Boss' Andro Army has its headquarters
and his parents are confined in it somewhere.
Where are you, Father? Mother?
Swanee?
Swanee!
What's going on?
Where did it go?
What just happened?
What? A robot was killed?
Yes, he was thrown into the sea.
Maybe somebody snuck in.
Did a human sneak into our headquarters?
Search for him thoroughly!
Swanee, I wish I could take you with me.
But I am Casshan.
I live to fight against the Andro Army.
Goodbye, Swanee.
Swanee!
Mother!
Tetsuya, no, Casshan!
I'm glad to know that you are safe.
Why are you in Swanee, Mother?
Your father hid me in Swanee.
Otherwise, I would have been killed by Braiking Boss.
Mother!
Your father was taken away from this castle.
Braiking Boss is forcing him to make more powerful robots.
I didn't want you to become a victim too.
No, we can't let you be the only one to suffer.
Your father and I will fight against the Andro Army also.
I will assist you as Swanee.
Mother, you can't get out of Swanee without Father's help, right?
That's right.
But I'm not sad,
because I can see you if the moonlight shines in Swanee's eyes.
Mother!
Your father intends to develop a special energy for you.
Mother, I will fight.
Even if I become blind, I will continue fighting.
Mother!
Poor Mother!
I will never be a man again.
But in my heart, I am always your son, Tetsuya.
Goodbye, Casshan.
Mother...
You...
Haven't you gone to Hell yet?
I am immortal.
You kid!
Hail, Braiking!
Oh no, my eyes...
I can't see...
Go, now!
Go! Cut his head off!
I see, its electronic brain is controlled there.
Why you, Casshan...
There!
Casshan, I will break your body to pieces next time.
Casshan, I am waiting for the day when the three of us can live together again.
Even if you are a neo-human, you are my Tetsuya.
Mother and Father, please wait just a little while.
I will come rescue you soon.
The moonlight let the separated mother and son meet again.
A boy who opens a way to peace believing the day of his victory will come -
his name is Casshan, a neo-human.
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 attacks by the Andro Army have become worse
and finally the hands of evil have reached Luna, Casshan's childhood friend.
But Casshan is unable to save her
because saving her means revealing the fact that he’s a neo-human.
Now the claw robot is closing in on Casshan, and he is in danger!
Next time on Casshan: “Find Tomorrow in the Ruins”
Look forward to it!
