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!
The City That Creates Newly-Built Men
Casshan continues to fight but there is still a long way to go to reach peace.
Currently, he is in-between fights and is resting for a short time.
But he never finds true peace of mind.
How's that, Luna? Are you all right?
Don't worry, I'll get well soon.
Ex..Excuse me, but are you Casshan?
I'm Matomeru, the Minister of Scale.
I heard that there was a fight among the robots in this country, so I have been looking for you.
Please rescue Scale!
Then the Andro Army...
Yes, Dr. Niseru is an authority on robot engineering in our country.
He is conspiring with the robots, and has been researching ways
to change young men into newly-built men.
What?! Into newly-built men?!
He's mad.
What's up, Dr. Niseru?!
You haven't made one yet?!
I'm sorry, please wait for a while.
Kotaro Azuma, an authority on robot engineering, didn't obey me,
so I had to ask you instead.
I want a neo-human stronger than Casshan. Do you understand?
I'm a bit of a scientist myself. I promise you that I'll make it happen.
If this experiment is successful, Kotaro Azuma will be nothing.
Casshan asked Flender to nurse Luna and left for Scale.
But before him...
Minister!
Why didn't you come sooner?
I was attacked by the Andro Army on my way
and had to bury the Minister, who was killed.
He doesn't matter!
Since you're so late,
my son, Domino, has gone to Niseru as a sacrifice for our country.
But, Your Excellency...
I'll listen to your excuses later.
Save him from them at once.
Dr. Niseru's research institute is in the suburbs.
I'll give you a reward for it.
I don't want anything, sir.
Excuse me.
He's going to risk his life without a reward.
He's not a man.
But if he were a man, he would be a fool.
Suffer, Domino!
When you die a harsh death, His Excellency will understand my suffering.
Wh..who are you?!
You are...
Casshan, a neo-human like those you're trying to make.
Domino!
Dr. Niseru, aren't you ashamed of serving such robots? You're a human for God's sake!
I see...
It's a neo-human like the ones I've been researching for a long time.
Doctor, you've gone mad!
I've gone mad?
It might be so.
But if I'm mad, I was driven so by the people of Scale.
Fearing an attack by the Andro Army,
I sacrificed my son and tried to turn him into a neo-human.
My country supported me as much as possible at that time.
Father!
The experiment completely failed, but I didn't give up.
I looked for other courageous young men throughout the country.
But in the end, I received severe criticism from the people.
They thought I was a mad man who wouldn't give up experimenting despite my son's death
and they put me in jail.
Then I was rescued by a robot.
You're being used!
It doesn't matter.
I hate human beings.
How could it be that men should be controlled by robots?
Think about it more seriously.
Unless...
Listen, Casshan. Unless...
I will make a neo-human better than you without fail.
I don't want to kill you.
If your son were alive, what would he say about it?
If he were alive, my way of doing things would be different.
You...
You remind me of my father who made me.
I want to trust you.
What was that sound?
What's the matter, Doctor!
Well...
I..It failed.
The machine was out of order and exploded.
Again!
The tie odd: The robot was destroyed but he isn't' wounded at all.
Please lay him to rest quietly.
What are you doing?!
He's your son, isn't he?
He's my son, huh?
He's dead, so he's a mere nobody.
Would the dead Domino call me Dad and do things for me?
He is dead and your son.
If you want me to think that way, then revive him.
You can't!
You killed my son and let Niseru live!
No, I wasn't in time.
Shut up!
If you want me to believe that, then kill Niseru who murdered my son.
What a pity that you're so coldhearted.
That's interesting.
You, a robot, are warmhearted and I, a man, am coldhearted.
Right?!
Our Father who art in Heaven,
forgive us our debts,
and save us from evil.
Amen.
That's the way!
Braiking Boss!
What's up?!
Bad news: Casshan has appeared in Scale.
That's why they won't provide us with any men for our experiment.
I see, then it's no wonder there was something suspicous.
What was that, Barashin?
Your Excellency...
What?! Niseru?!
Yes, sir!
I see, bring him to me!
I have something to ask you.
You're not betraying us, are you, Dr. Niseru?
Of course not, I hate men.
Then why did you let Casshan, who's on man's side, go?
No, I didn't.
Don't lie!
Don't you underestimate me!
The robots in the laboratory were destroyed
and the subject of our experiment was taken away.
That could only have been done by Casshan!
No, that's...
Listen!
If you want to vindicate yourself, destroy Scale at once at the head of a party of your robots.
And come back here with Casshan's head.
M..Me?
Right!
H..Hail, Braiking.
You remind me of my father who made me.
I want to trust you.
B..Bad news! The Andro Army are...
Summon Casshan!
We're going to make an all-out attack upon Scale,
who took the side of Casshan over the Andro Army.
Hand over Casshan at once, if you all want to live.
We're going to make a concentrated attack on...
Here he is!
At last, the time has come when you can prove you're a friend to us.
Let's fight together against them.
Are you kidding?
You think we can defeat the Andro Army?
To begin with, we don't have young men who can fight.
We called you because our defeat is imminent.
But as you see, there are a lot of soldiers.
I don't know if I can defeat them by myself.
It's not necessary to fight, Casshan.
You'll be captured by the Andro Army for Scale.
Are you in your right mind?
Of course.
Can you strike a human, Mr. Robot?
Summon a guard!
Yes, Your Excellency!
Hand Casshan over to the Andro Army!
Yes, sir!
Casshan is one of those robots that obeys orders meekly.
At last Casshan faces the same fate that I faced...
Even if I'm captured, Dr. Niseru won't stop pursuing his ends.
Scale will still be destroyed by the Andro Army.
If they're going to be destroyed in an y case. - -
Dr. Niseru, you've been used by the robots.
It's ridiculous that the robots use humans!
Stop it! I'll fight against them until I die!
Casshan, you're the one with foolish ideals.
You're just a cat's-paw!
No, that's what you are!
Hail, Braiking!
Bad news!
What's happened?
Ca..Casshan...
You coward!
What's the matter with Casshan?!
H..He's fighting.
How can that be?
If Casshan cannot defend our country by himself...
If Casshan cannot...
Defend our country...
Dammit, you're being very troublesome, Casshan!
The explosions have stopped.
It's me.
What? ls this the outpost?
Casshan did well and the robots are running away?
Very good!
What?! Dr. Niseru is the commander of the robots?!
Don't let him escape! Capture him!
Dr. Niseru!
Hey, Niseru, you come with us!
What? Did you ask me to spare his life?
Yes, I can't let it go that humans are fighting each other.
You have saved our country,
but you told me at the beginning that you didn't want a reward.
I don't mean a reward.
Listen, Casshan.
Execution with a gun would be good enough, but he'll be hanged.
Hanging is one of our traditions.
I'll lead him to death through tradition.
That's my justice.
That's not true.
You're just burning with hatred because your son was killed.
You intend to strangle him to death.
Idiot! I'm not the type of man who is particular about the way of dying.
Death is death.
Fellow men who hate each other...
Let fighting be the job of robots-
Run away right now, Dr. Niseru.
What's the matter?! Hurry!
It's only fair I tell you, I won't change if you save me.
I know that, but until you change...
What are you going to do?
I'll fight... In order to defend human beings!
Good, Casshan is as trustworthy as I expected.
Casshan, it seems that I'm a phony scientist
and I fear that I cannot make newly-built men any longer.
If my son were alive and I were a real scientist...
Casshan...
He would've been reborn as a neo-human like you.
Doctor...
Now, go this way and you'll end up in the suburbs.
If you let me go, you'll...
I'm immortal.
A robot is serving humans and a man is serving robots.
That's just the roles we play, but I guess that's fate.
Well then...
It seems...
It seems to me that you're my son.
Dr. Niseru!
Doctor!
Dr. Niseru...
As I thought, a gun is good enough for his execution.
You betrayer!
If we let him go, what do you think would have happened?
Your appearance is that of a man but you're a robot in the end.
You're right.
I'm a robot, but...
What are you?
What the...!
You beast with a human face! A beast!
I... I can't breathe!
Save me!
Don't kill him, Casshan!
Ni..Niseru!
Doctor!
Casshan...
What good is killing a man? What were you born again for?
Doctor...
My son is calling, "Dad"...
Dad!
Casshan reminded Niseru of his son and Niseru reminded Casshan of his father.
But destiny set Casshan against Niseru.
Who was to blame for that?
Casshan's heart was crying.
Don't cry, Casshan.
Save your tears until the day when you can hold the hands of your mother and father.
No matter how great your sorrow is, don't lose heart and fight, 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 Andro Army begins the search for a robot named Polo,
which Dr. Azuma once created and sent to a remote city.
Meanwhile, Casshan is also searching for Polo.
Polo is the robot Casshan used to play with when he was still Tetsuya.
But now, ironically, Polo stands before Casshan as his enemy.
Next time on Casshan: "The Electric Punch of Tears"
Look forward to it!
