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!
Bounder Robot's Challenge
Voltage adjusted, parts exchanged,
battery water supplied, and oil has been changed.
Everything is okay.
In your current condition, no matter how much you rampage,
you don't have to worry about anything.
I see...
How do you like that, Swanee?
Braiking Boss, Your Excellency.
The experimental robot test is ready to proceed.
Okay, I'm coming now.
So this is our new robot.
Sir! This is the bounder-zero.
It corrects all the weaknesses of the former robot soldiers.
It is a pivotal robot soldier with superior capabilities.
Well, that's true.
The earlier soldiers seem to have some weaknesses.
I recall some soldiers were broken to pieces by Casshan's blows.
That was because they took the full force of his blows straight on.
If the force is redistributed, it will be like nothing happened, no matter how strong the blow.
I wonder if you can do that?
By using the pressure from your opponent-
That's enough! Stop your explanation and start the tests quickly!
Yes, sir! First, the pliability test.
Start!
Next, the elasticity test.
And lastly, a combined test of jumping ability, water-resistance and speed.
Start!
He's made of rubber, isn't he?
Yes, sir, but it's no ordinary rubber.
That's specially processed rubber from the natural rubber we collected
from the rubber trees on the Hazuminda Peninsula, which are the best.
Well I see, natural rubber...
Good! Begin mass production of bounder robots.
Listen, secure all the rubber from the Hazuminda Peninsula!
Hail, Braiking!
If they mass produce this horrible bounder robot,
the whole world will be destroyed.
I must tell Casshan quickly.
Thus, Braiking Boss started his determined attacks on the crude rubber factories
in the Kingdom of Hazuminda, which was known as a natural rubber treasury.
Destroy everything except the rubber factories!
Hail, Braiking!
The National Defense Forces were beaten by the Andro Army's attacks
and all the rubber factories were occupied.
The mass production of the secret anti-Casshan weapon, the bounder robot, began.
The citizens had lost their homes.
They were wounded and starving, and had even lost their will to fight.
We're too late.
Once again, the people are wretched
Damn you, Andro Army!
Hey, there's a can!
Found one!
Watch out!
Casshan!
Hang in there!
That's a can-bomb! Hang in there!
He's okay.
Jerry!
Mama!
Jerry!
Mama!
Jerry!
Your name is Casshan, right?
How did you know that?
I heard her calling you that.
I see, so you know my name.
Jerry, I hope your father gets well soon.
Yeah, I made a promise with Daddy.
Right...
We're all going to a zoo together when he gets better.
That sounds very nice.
I must do this for children like him.
| beg of you!
Please, won't someone donate blood? My husband's life is in danger.
Mama!
I'm not a human being.
I no longer have blood in my body like a normal person.
Please, please, give us some blood!
I beg of you, please!
Casshan!
Casshan...
Cheer up, Casshan.
Remember what we promised?
We will be together when we die.
As long as I can fight, I'll do so on your behalf.
Luna".
Thank you, Luna.
I know...
Wait here while I go and give blood.
Luna!
I will not fail to drive the Andro Army out of our country!
The National Defense Forces are preparing
to win back the rubber factories of the Kingdom of Hazuminda
and to give aid to that nation. Over!
Foolish human beings, what are they doing now?
The rubber factories are under our complete control.
Boss, what do you think of starting our obstructive tactics?
Wait, don't hurry.
I guessed this would happen and took measures already.
You truly are the boss.
By the way, Doctor,
have you finished what I asked of you?
What? We're cutting it close!
Hurry and complete it!
You understand?!
That night, Swanee went to see Casshan without being noticed by Braiking Boss.
Casshan, I have brought you something important from your father.
My father? Where is he now?
It's more important to save the people of Hazuminda right now.
Understood.
How can I help?
Casshan, take the paper from Swanee's mouth
and give it to the National Defense Forces quickly.
We must work together to save people.
Yes, Mother.
I must go, Casshan.
Don't forget what I said.
With the blueprint he received from Dr. Azuma,
Casshan hurried to the advanced base of the National Defense Forces.
If the excellent engineers of our Defense Forces work together, I think we can do it.
I ask for your help.
Whether we can save the lives of the people there and the rubber factories or not
depends on how quickly we can make the thing just as it is shown in the blueprint.
Thus, the National Defense Forces decided to transport troops and supplies
to rescue the people of Hazuminda and regain control of their rubber factories.
That's from the Andro Army.
Watch out!
It's the Andro Army!
Dr. Azuma is indeed as great as I expected.
The fighter robots and the submarine robot did good work.
With their troops and supplies destroyed, the National Defense Forces will have to give up.
That's right, but only if we defeat Casshan.
It's just a matter of time.
Mass production of the bounder robot is within sight.
Let's have a party to celebrate our victory, shall we?
Thank you, sir.
I'll let our soldiers know at once. They'll be pleased.
Your Excellency, Braiking Boss!
Wh..What?! How can it be?!
That means neither the ship or the plane were destroyed.
I'm sorry to tell you, but the report I received says that both the ship and the plane
have arrived at their destination.
Now they are transporting their cargo by trucks.
Wait a minute, that's fishy...
How did a ship and plane that had both been destroyed...
It was understandable that Braiking Boss couldn't make sense of such results.
The transport plane had crashed into the sea,
but it was only an operation to fool the Andro Army.
The truth was the plane turned into a new model speedboat under the water.
The same thing happened to the transport ship.
A transport submarine loaded with weapons, foodstuffs and soldiers
had been stored in the transport ship beforehand.
And after the Andro Army left,
the submarine continued on its way under the sea to the Kingdom of Hazuminda in secret.
It was Dr. Azuma who incorporated such a beautiful idea into the blueprints
and pulled it off with the cooperation of Casshan and the National Defense Forces.
You damn fool!
There's no time for fooling around!
Summon the soldiers quickly!
Send all the bounder robots that have been manufactured so far!
C..Certainly!
Casshan, you better give up on the rubber factories!
Surrender your supplies without making further trouble.
I won't give them to you even if it costs me my life!
Okay, if you say so, I shall take them by force.
Hail, Braiking!
Flying Drill!
Dammit, I'll smash each of them to pieces, one after another.
Electric Punch!
Shooting Star Kick!
Now! Fire!
Bounder robots, go and defeat Casshan!
Die, Casshan!
Hail, Braiking!
Damn...
You're going too easy on him! Take him down at once!
Shooting Star Kick!
My Electric Punches and Shooting Star Kicks don't work on them.
Casshan!
That's it! Flender, flames!
Hot, hot, hot!
Damn you, Casshan!
I'll make you regret this!
Retreat!
Hurray!
Casshan!
Jerry...
Thank you, Casshan!
Surrounded by the joyful people,
Casshan was full of gratitude to his father.
The people don't know that their city was saved by Dr. Azuma's efforts.
Looking up at the clear sky over the southern country,
Casshan pledges to rescue Dr. Azuma.
Go, 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
The use of his Super Destructive Beam completely drains Casshan's energy
and he falls into a valley and loses all his memories from the impact of the fall.
The doctor who rescues Casshan and treats him,
discovers his true identity and reports to the Andro Army.
Will Braiking Boss find out Casshan's identity'?
Next time on Casshan: “Immortal Casshan”
Look forward to it!
