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!
Immortal Casshan
It began on a stormy day.
An incident occurred in the laboratory of Dr. Kotaro Azuma,
a world renowned authority on robot engineering.
The BK-1 android was expected to be used for the good of human beings,
removing pollutants from the air and water.
But a freak accident turned it into an iron devil.
Androids are robots that can act under their own will
and are very similar to humans in shape.
The BK-1 android called himself Braiking Boss,
and manufactured one robot after another,
rising to become the leader of the Andro Army.
His goal was to get revenge on humans who had made machines their own.
He challenged humans to a war to determine who would govern who.
Then, the terrible Andro Army began attacking peaceful towns and cities,
indiscriminately extending their evil power all over the world.
However, there is a young man who faces the enemy boldly
in order to protect the world from their chaos.
He is the neo-human, Casshan.
However, to suppress the Andro Army's incessant attacks,
Casshan is regrettably obliged to use his last trump card, a Super Destructive Beam.
But it is a risky weapon as it draws directly on Casshan's energy
and may drain his reserves in mere seconds.
Casshan!
Search for him!
He must be around here.
That damn Casshan, we won't fail to capture him.
Sir, he fell into a bottomless pit headfirst after shooting a mysterious ray from his helmet.
One of our men saw it with his own eyes.
All right then, we'll get the humans to search for him as well.
Let them know that we'll offer a sumptuous reward for anyone who finds him
and will guarantee their life.
That was reckless of you.
What's the matter with you?
What happened to him?
Hey!
No use, his heart has stopped.
What shall we do?
We'll take him to the hospital anyway, and then report it to the police.
Casshan was not dead.
His electronic brain had stopped working temporarily after his energy was exhausted.
But it soon started working again.
It was, however, an imperfect awakening.
His memory was lost.
Hello? ls this the police?
I'm calling from First Hospital.
Yes, this is Dr. Yarbie.
What's going on?
You are...
There's no pulse or heartbeat, but he's alive.
What's going on?
What's your name?
MY ﬂame?
Where are you from?
Where am I from?
Your presence here is somewhat mysterious.
Doctor...
He seems to have lost his memory.
Amnesia?
Where am I? I...
Laura, let's examine him thoroughly.
Yes, Doctor.
Do you understand this?
You're an android.
Android?
I've heard of androids, but this is the first time I've ever seen one with my own eyes.
The man who made you must be gifted with a God-given talent.
You're exactly like a human being, or maybe even more so.
I'm an android?
Do you remember anything?
Android... android...
No, I don't remember anything.
Press your head against this machine.
You may remember something with the help of this memory retrieving device.
Are you ready, Laura?
Yes, Doctor.
Let's begin.
I hate robots.
They deprived me of my only granddaughter.
I hate humans who make robots even more!
I want to kill them!
The one who made the androids should take responsibility.
That's right, it's his responsibility!
He's the enemy of mankind.
I hate the man who made the androids.
I want to kill him!
Doctor!
No, that's not right!
My father made androids for the good of human beings.
Te..Tetsuya!
What are you saying, Tetsuya?
Lucky was revived as a robot dog.
If you use a live human being, you can make an even stronger one, can't you?
Father, please make me into a neo-human.
Tetsuya, stop this nonsense.
Once you are made into a neo-human,
you will never be able to be a human being again.
But I must fight with Braiking Boss as a neo-human, right?
Braiking Boss is formidable.
I can't let you suffer any longer.
Tetsuya...
I didn't realize that you were that serious.
Who else can fight against the Andro Army but me?
I will destroy Braiking Boss and contribute to the peace of humanity.
Mother, please forgive me.
Tetsuya, you are doing a terrible thing.
Father, please.
Tetsuya, you know you will not be a human being any longer.
Yes, I know, but my heart will remain.
Tetsuya!
Yes!
Tetsuya...
Mother, please forgive me.
Tetsuya!
Doctor...
He's crying. He must have had a hard past.
It's no good. He's exhausted.
Stop the machine.
Yes, Doctor.
Casshan!
So that's it...
He's Casshan, the talk of the town.
The man who is fighting single-handedly against the Andro Army, huh?
The Andro Army sent out word that we should locate Casshan.
If you do, they'll spare your life and, on top of that, they've offered a reward.
Doctor, surely you're not going to...
The Andro Army will almost certainly come to attack this town soon.
The townspeople will be completely massacred then.
That includes you and me, Laura.
However, if we turn in Casshan...
Doctor!
If I get the reward money, I'll be able to build a hospital of my own.
Then we can get married.
Stop!
Laura!
Besides, I've learned another secret of Casshan!
I know that he's an android!
I might get several times the reward money if I give this information to Braiking Boss.
I can rightly request that.
Stop, I don't want to hear it!
Laura!
I feel sorry for Casshan.
But he's an android, dear.
It's foolish of us to die for an android.
Casshan is fighting against the Andro Army, risking his life.
Luck has come our way.
Casshan!
It has just occurred to me that I am desperately in need of some energy.
Energy?
Casshan!
Hey!
My vision is blurred.
I see, you're drained of energy, huh?
What kind of energy do you need?
That's it, the sun's rays are...
The sun?
I see, you get energy from the sun's rays.
There's nothing to do but to wait until dawn, when the rain may stop.
Where are you going, Yarbie?
Laura, lock up the room. Don't let anybody in.
Yarbie!
Yarbie...
What?! Casshan is your captive?
Yes, sir.
Why did you not bring him here?
I said I would guarantee your safety.
I know Casshan's secret as well.
You'll be quite put out if you know it.
Secret?
Come on, talk! I'll give you as much money as you wish if you do.
Really? As much as I wish?
I am not a liar!
I'll bring him here right away. I can't prove the secret without him.
Hurry UP!
About that time, Laura was replenishing Casshan's energy.
She was able to use an experimental medical mercury lamp.
Casshan was able to accumulate enough energy little by little.
Now, you better get out of here fast.
It will be disastrous if you stay here.
W..Wait.
I remember that I am an android and yet there are many things that I need to know.
Where should I go? What should I do?
You'll see soon.
Anyway, get out of here first.
I'll tell you where to go, young man.
I'll make you remember what you have been doing since you became Casshan.
Come with me, Casshan.
Don't, you mustn't go, Casshan!
I am Casshan...
Luna".
Yeah, Luna was with me.
Hurry! You'll remember everything if you come with me.
Come on.
Yarbie, stop it! Come on.
Yarbie, please!
Yarbie...
Get in this car.
Meanwhile, Luna was desperately searching for Casshan,
but she didn't have any clues.
Swanee!
Swanee, you must know where Casshan is.
We'll be there soon.
You're Luna, aren't you?
Where's Casshan?
He isn't here anymore.
Where is he?
Luna".
Something happened to him?
Casshan is in trouble!
What's that?
Where am l? Who are they?
I think I've seen them before.
This is yours, man.
Thanks.
What's Casshan's secret, anyway?
It's about his constitution.
What about it?
Look at this.
Not a drop of blood comes out of his body. Please, see for yourself.
Casshan's memory began recovering gradually when the howling of Flender reached his ears.
Dr. Azuma made them both, Casshan and Flender.
They stimulate each other when they come in contact and they start acting in concert.
Tetsuya, we will begin.
Yes, Father.
That's right; I abandoned being a human in order to fight against the Andro Army.
Tetsuya!
Te...
Tetsuya!
You are now a neo-human.
You will bring peace to the people.
You should call yourself Casshan.
Casshan?
If people find out that you are a neo-human, they will never forgive you.
All people hate robots.
Casshan, you are the only one who can bring peace.
Flender will help you with his strength.
Casshan, please try your best.
Yes!
That's right, I've become Casshan, a neo-human.
Father... Mother!
Apparently, I lost my memory and was caught by the Andro Army,
but I won't give in so easily.
I'm sorry to disappoint you,
but I'm Casshan, the immortal neo-human.
Come on!
Casshan!
L..Laura!
Laura...
Destroy the mad dog!
Damn you, Casshan!
Braiking Boss, how do you like this MF Gun?
Luna!
Flender Car!
Damn Casshan!
Don't let them get away! After them!
Damn fool!
Do you trust me?
Yes, I know you'll keep my secret;
the secret that I'm a neo-human.
Thank you, Casshan.
It's I who should thank you.
I won't let your sacrifice be in vain.
I'll fight on as long as the Andro Army exists in this world.
Casshan!
Good luck, Laura.
Braiking Boss almost discovered that Casshan is an android.
But Laura's sympathy and sincerity saved him at the cost of her lover's life.
Casshan has started walking in order to confront the Andro Army.
There is no end to the path of his fighting.
But Luna and Flender are behind him.
Go, 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
The x-ray robot finally discovers Casshan's secret
and Braiking Boss learns that Casshan is a neo-human.
To make matters worse, Casshan gets shot by a Magnetic Ray Gun and captured.
Braiking Boss suspects he may be Tetsuya Azuma
and interrogates him along with Dr. Azuma.
Now that Casshan is in grave danger, what's going to happen to him?
Next time on Casshan: "Casshan's Secrets"
Look forward to it!
