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!
Runaway Robot, Romeo
The robots are coming!
The Andro Army is coming!
Andro Army! Andro Army!
Go back! Leave this city, robots!
Dammit!
Why is the Andro Army attacking such a small city?
We must fight against them in order to protect this pretty town and our peaceful life.
I know how you feel, but it's quite dangerous.
Who are you?
I'm Casshan.
My name is Luna.
Casshan?
Headman, why would the Andro Army attack this city?
|..| don't know.
I wanted to ask you the same thing.
Casshan is harassed by the new robots of the Andro Army.
The Andro Army is extremely low on iron.
To solve the problem,
they have been trying to recycle scrap robots
by using the scrap collection robot.
However, there is one robot which runs from them out of fear.
Hurry up! They will come soon!
It's suicidal to fight with arms like these.
Why, they are just robots.
We can't be called civilized people if we're scared of machines.
The robots! The robots are coming!
Fool! They have come already.
Destroy it!
Stop!
Why did you stop us?
Isn't it one of them?
That's not it.
It seems to have no power to hurt others.
Help me, I'll do anything for you.
Please leave this robot to me, everybody.
I'll get some intelligence about the enemy.
I see, that's a good idea.
Thank you! Thank you!
Such dreadful robots.
I'll smash them, but please tell me why they are attacking this city.
I can't repair him.
Only its hands, feet and trunk are broken.
The electronic brain is okay, so I think you can repair it like a car.
Okay, I'll try.
Joey, work hard or you won't become a full-fledged member!
That's funny.
I'm going to get rich in the future and say goodbye to work like this.
I don't know what to do with him.
He's not going to work hard. He's a lazy fellow.
Oh, no, please don't melt me.
Recycling scrap robots is not enough.
That's why we're looking for a vein of iron ore.
Why don't you just smash the city it's in?
If we destroy the vein, it won't help.
It must be our priority
to locate a vein of iron ore while avoiding groundwater and the earthquake belt.
Anyway, hurry up!
Hail, Braiking!
If they cannot find the iron, we'll be melted.
So that's why the Andro Army is attacking this city.
Oh my, low on oil and iron.
Oh, please don't kill me.
Don't worry, I'll repair you anyway.
Casshan?
As the robot said, someday I'll be scraped.
Rusted iron...
I cannot be a man again.
I know how you feel, but men have to die too.
Now, cheer up!
Thank you.
I am immortal, aren't I?
I've heard from a robot that there is a vein of iron ore in this city.
I don't know how they found out.
This old man found it, and only the three of us know about it.
I was interested in the lay of the land.
It's a very large vein of iron ore as a matter of fact.
I was so glad and can't explain how I felt when I found it.
I marked it and descended from the mountain.
At that time,
I was fascinated by the view of this beautiful city at the foot of the mountain.
If I mined the iron, I'd become rich,
but it would cause harm to this beautiful city.
I talked to the clergyman and we decided that the mountain should be designated as holy
and that people would be forbidden to go there.
So that's it; I understand now.
I'll surely keep the secret.
It's morning. Time to wake up, please.
You can move?
Yes, thanks to you, I can move.
Oh, my robot!
From today on, I shall call you Romeo.
Yes, my name is Romeo.
Oh, you are all right now.
Splendid!
Congratulations, Romeo! This is for you.
It looks nice on you, Romeo.
Thank you, thank you.
The aggression device in Romeo had been broken when Romeo fought with Casshan,
and Old Man Dump substituted a work device in its place.
Romeo worked and was loved.
It's the original attitude of robots.
Hey, Romeo!
What is it?
Let me congratulate you on your new job.
This is the highest quality oil.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
By the way, where is the Andro Army stationed right now?
They have an advanced base in the mountains, 100 kilometers north of here.
100 kilometers north...
As long as there is iron in this mountain, the Andro Army will keep attacking.
Can't we destroy the vein?
That's impossible, but we might be able to hide it.
Really?
I created this problem, so I'll settle it.
Don't shoot! I'll give you intelligence on the iron!
I heard there is a vein of iron ore in this hill and it is marked too.
I overheard talk between the headman and the others and I'm sure of it.
I see.
Then, give me the money which you promised.
Sit down, please.
Be quick about it, okay?
Even though he's a man, he betrayed the others.
Such a person would betray us too.
Well, shall we seize the vein?
Hail, Braiking!
Fire!
How foolish of them!
They can never beat us with old fashioned arms like those.
Hail, Braiking!
What...
I'll oppose you!
God, permit us to fight with guns and please give us power.
Meanwhile, the old man was on the mountain.
The vein of iron ore which he found has caused unexpected unhappiness for this city.
The old man was risking his life in an attempt to destroy the vein.
Bore faster for the sake of the city!
Casshan!
Are you all right?
Run away, hurry up!
No, I'll put my life on the line and fight.
Please run away, Headman.
I'll protect this place.
It's you who should run away.
Dammit; if the sun would just come out...
Romeo insists on protecting this city.
Don't worry, I'll protect this place by myself.
Are you sure, Romeo?
Yes.
Can you hold them off for just three minutes?
I'm sure I can.
Please renew your energy while I'm protecting the city.
Then, you noticed that I'm not human?
We're brothers, aren't we?
Romeo!
Flender Jet!
Damn, what a...
Romeo, where are you going?
Dash through the black cloud!
Casshan absorbs energy so he can save the people risking their lives.
But he has to get back as soon as possible
and doesn't have enough time to fully replenish his energy stores.
Damn, it's the runaway robot!
What are they going to do with the vein of iron ore?
Ready!
Wait! If you fire, the mountain will be blown up too.
What should we do then?
Snipers!
Aim at the men and robots on the mountain.
What?!
You need to leave the mountain, hurry!
Hurry up, please.
I will complete my plan myself.
If I can die on the mountain, I'll be happy.
I want to express my thanks to you.
Romeo!
Don't worry, I don't feel pain.
Come!
Farewell, everyone, thank you very much.
Romeo!
That damn Casshan!
Farewell...
Farewell, everyone.
That damn runaway robot, how meddlesome.
Now the mountain and the vein are ruined.
Retreat!
Romeo...
Romeo!
Romeo... Romeo...
Romeo...
Romeo's death saved this beautiful city and the honest people.
Romeo showed the way a robot should live by example.
Romeo's actions give courage and renewed hope to Casshan.
Go, Casshan, until peace is restored to the world.
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 has been conducting research on super radial energy
in order to produce powerful new robots.
He kidnaps young people and uses them for forced labor.
Casshan infiltrates the factory immediately after finding out about Braiking Boss' plan
and begins the rescue operation.
But the operation fails after Casshan falls into a trap set by Braiking Boss.
What's going to happen to Casshan now?
Next time on Casshan: "Great Escape from the Robot Factory"
Look forward to it!
