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!

Casshan's Secrets
The Bay of Desely is the home port of the National Defense Force Fleet.
Carriers form the main strength of the fleet
and are equipped with as many modern weapons as possible.
The Andro Army is targeting the port as part of their plan to conquer the whole world.
Casshan, who got wind of the Andro Army's movements from Swanee,
snuck into the port and has kept watch for the enemy there.
Meanwhile, Luna and Flender are keeping watch on the Andro Army's movements
from Donder Airport.
Robots!
Robots! The robots have come to attack us!
Hurry! Go to your stations!
Fire!
Help!
Stop right there!
Damn fool!
Sir!
The spy robots failed because you were slacking.
I'm sorry, I don't know how to apologize.
How did Casshan get wind of our movements?
Sagure!
Sir?!
Look at that!
These robots ran away at Tonda.
That is a magnetic torture device which robots are terrified of.
You must surely be aware of it.
Y..Yes!
If you bumble again, I'll torture you with it.
Oh, please, anything but that.
Do something to make up for it. Get Casshan at least.
Yes, sir!
Do you understand?
Hail, Braiking!
If you bumble again, I'll torture you with it.
Chief Sagure!
I have something to tell you.
What? What do you have to say?
Braiking Boss gave me an ear-full because you bungled your job.
He threatened to torture me with that magnetic torture device.
We were defeated by Casshan, but we learned his secret.
What, Casshan's secret?
Sagure, why did you call for a special meeting?
Well, we've uncovered a very important piece of information.
An important piece of information?
It takes a lot to impress me you know.
I'll torture you if you don't have something good to say.
I'm willing to take that risk, but hear me out.
Go ahead!
Stop it!
It's just footage of Casshan fighting.
Yes, sir, please be patient for a while.
Continue!
Though a human, Casshan is able to break iron robots easily.
So what?
Casshan is a strong man. Everybody knows that.
But can a man stand against fire?
Don't talk such rubbish.
Anyone can stand the heat if he wears a fireproof garment.
But humans need air.
How does he last so long underwater?
That's also possible.
A human can dive into water and catch fish or shellfish if he is well trained.
Stop it already!
Did you call for a meeting just to share such trashy films?
Everyone knows that Casshan leads a charmed life.
I had my men investigate him further.
He can even go without sleep or food.
Damn fool!
How could you discover that without living with him throughout the year?
How ridiculous. This meeting is over.
Sagure, what are you trying to get at anyway?
Casshan is not a human being.
What?! Casshan is not human?
What makes you think that?
I'll show you proof of it.
Come in!
This is a crab robot who was attacked by Casshan and narrowly escaped.
This guy holds the key to Casshan's secret.
Project it quickly!
Where's Casshan's secret? This is the same old film.
Oh! That's an android!
Casshan's secret is out at last.
All we've done for him will go up in smoke.
What's going to happen to Casshan now?
But Braiking Boss, he's absolutely different from us.
What did you say?
He was made with more finesse than us.
It's impossible for us to make that kind of a robot.
Boss!
There's only one man in the world who could have made Casshan.
That is Dr. Azuma.
If he is an android, there's a way to catch Casshan.
Attack him with a magnetic ray gun and deplete his energy.
Luckily, he's all alone at Desely Port right now.
Well done, Sagure. Launch an attack immediately.
Hail, Braiking!
Thus, Casshan's secret was discovered by Braiking Boss.
Now he's in danger and the iron evil's trap is closing in on him.
That's Casshan!
Are you really Casshan?
Yeah.
Casshan, you're protecting this port from danger, aren't you?
Yeah, you're some boys from this town, huh?
Yeah, shake hands with me, Casshan.
Sure.
Your hand is cold.
Yeah, I was standing outside for a long time.
There's nothing to fear, even if the Andro Army learns you are here and comes to attack.
Aren't Luna and Flender with you?
They're guarding Donder Airport.
They beat off several spies from the Andro Army.
That's great.
When I grow up, I'm going to fight against the Andro Army like you.
My papa was killed by a robot.
I hate robots.
I'll fight against them like you when I grow up too.
It will be lots of fun to crush them.
O..Ouch!
You crush robots with your fist. You must be a very strong man.
Would I be happier if I were really just a strong man ?
I wouldn't mind being weak if I could return to my former self.
But my mission is to defeat the Andro Army.
All I wish is to see peace restored to this country.
A star has fallen. I hope nothing will happen.
Damn Casshan.
Hail, Braiking!
Casshan?
Come on out, you Andro Army iron scraps!
That's just like you, Casshan.
You'll never get this port as long as I'm alive.
You're right about that.
But you'll be destroyed. That's all there is to it.
What?
Listen, Casshan.
You're in the guise of a human being, but in fact, you are an android.
What, is Casshan an android?
There's no way!
Casshan is an android just as we are.
As such, he should be our ally,
but he doublecrossed us and took sides with humans.
He'll only get what he deserves.
Hail, Braiking!
If he's an android, he won't be able to handle the magnetic ray gun.
Fire!
Now's our chance! Get him!
Let's withdraw!
Damn!
Casshan!
Long time no see, Casshan.
Don't be so mad. You're one of us androids.
It's pointless to struggle in our grasp now that we know your true being.
Even if it is discovered that I am a neo-human,
I won't stop fighting against you androids.
What did you say? You said you were a neo-human?
Braiking Boss, what could a neo-human be?
A neo-human?
As far as I can tell,
it's a man, delicately remodeled into a robot, that's much stronger than ordinary androids.
Do you mean to say he is superior to us?
Yes, but we are united, so-
That's enough!
If we have so-called "neo-humans" among our troops,
we will become a much stronger force.
We can conquer the world even faster.
Come on! Who built you, Casshan?
Since you won't speak up, I'll take a guess who it was.
It was Dr. Azuma.
I don't know who Dr. Azuma is.
ls that so?
Sagure, bring Dr. Azuma here.
Yes, sir.
How horrible things have become!
The way things are going, everything will go up in smoke.
Casshan, please find some way to escape!
The news that Casshan was a neo-human spread like wildfire.
Casshan is a robot after all.
Geez, it's just a quarrel among robots.
Everything Casshan says is an absolute lie.
Robots can't be trusted.
We humans have to fight for ourselves.
Have you got the nerve to fight?
Do you really have what it takes?
Well, uh...
See? We can't do anything without Casshan.
Let's go, Flender. Casshan must be in that old castle.
Since Casshan's secret has been revealed,
there's no knowing what Braiking Boss will do to him.
He's in danger.
Dr. Azuma, look at that.
It's Casshan.
Casshan...
F..Father...
Dr. Azuma, he's an android called "a neo-human".
No one can make a man like that except for you.
Yo u'.- 9 Wrong.
I have never made a man like that.
I see, Doctor.
By the way, didn't you have a son named Tetsuya?
Casshan must have something to do with your son.
What do you say?
I don't know. Tetsuya is dead.
He died together with my wife, Midori.
No, he is alive. He's alive somewhere.
Suppose Casshan is Tetsuya.
Can an android be made from a human being?
You can do it.
There's proof that you have been researching it.
That was found in this old castle.
Previously, this castle was your home as well as your laboratory.
How can you say Casshan is Tetsuya on those grounds?
We'll see if there's a connection between the two.
Go ahead!
Yes, sir.
Go ahead!
All right! Go ahead!
All right.
How about that, Dr. Azuma?
If this torture device continues, Casshan will be totally destroyed.
Swanee is a gentle swan.
She is scared as might be expected.
Go on, increase voltage!
Come clean, Dr. Azuma.
It's no use torturing Casshan.
He's got no connection with me.
What did you say?
All right, take the voltage up higher!
Tetsuya...
No, Casshan, bear with it.
If Bra/king Boss learns that I made you,
he'll surely force me to produce malevolent neo-humans.
Forgive me, Casshan.
Endure it; Casshan!
Luna! Flender!
Swanee!
Go ahead, higher! I don't care if he breaks!
Who shut off the power? Hurry up and turn on the lights.
Right away, sir!
What's going on? Check on the machine room.
Yes, sir! Go and check the room!
You wretches! Hurry up and turn on the lights!
Casshan is gone! Find him!
Look at that.
Damn Casshan!
Braiking Boss, I'll fight on!
If I lose today, I'll win tomorrow.
I, Casshan, an invulnerable challenger, will always be waiting for you.
Casshan is weakened.
Don't let him get away. Catch him!
Casshan!
Luna! Casshan!
I'm the neo-human, Casshan, but I'm a human at heart.
I'll fight on until the people come to trust me.
Casshan!
Don't waste time! Get them!
Flender Tank!
Casshan, you may have a more difficult road to fol/ow now that they know you aren't human.
Bear with it," don't be beaten, Casshan!
That damn Casshan!
I'll dig up the facts about him and destroy him.
Good luck, Casshan. Hang in there.
Casshan's secret was exposed at last.
Casshan, the neo-human!
Fight through unyielding sorrow
until the day when the bell of peace rings throughout the world again.
Who will do it if not Casshan?
Sugata katachi wa kawaranu ga

Luna runs a fever and collapses during a battle.
In order to keep her out of danger, Casshan leaves her at a house,
but a robot soldier captures her.
Casshan finds out that the MF Gun is gone and immediately heads out to rescue her.
Next time on Casshan: “The Missing MF Gun"
Look forward to it!
