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!
The Electric Punch of Tears
The Andro Army, which was attempting to conquer the world,
won victory after victory and was approaching their goal.
However, just one matter weighed on the mind of Braiking Boss, the head of the Andro Army.
His concern was that they seemed unable to defeat Casshan.
What?! Defeated by Casshan again?
You damn fools!
Sir, we are very sorry.
We cannot achieve our dream of world conquest as long as Casshan exists!
Yes, sir.
But Braiking Boss, although we were defeated by Casshan,
we obtained some interesting information.
What did you say? Information?
Yes! I heard that there is a robot made by Dr. Azuma somewhere in this country.
Dr. Azuma?!
That's big news!
Boss, a robot made by Dr. Azuma should be excellent.
If we find the robot and remodel it...
Are you going to say that we will be able to defeat Casshan?
Yes!
Sounds interesting, go ahead!
Hail, Braiking!
This small town located 100km from the advance base of the Andro Army
had not been attacked by the Andro Army yet.
However, destiny is unwritten and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
Come in.
This town is extremely quiet.
No one seems to be here.
Everybody is closed up in their houses.
They seem to think that the Andro Army will not attack their town if they keep quiet.
Braiking Boss is not so easy to deal with though.
Even the children are frightened.
Not really.
Look at this.
See? Children are cheerful in every country.
They're not scared of things like the Andro Army.
Welcome to our park. Take your time and enjoy yourselves.
It's just a harmless robot.
One of those we often see in amusement parks.
Oh, was I surprised! I almost mistook it for the Andro Army.
What's the matter?
That robot reminded me of another robot.
I think there is a robot that my father produced in this town.
Really, Casshan?
Yes, I used to play with him.
What kind of robot is it?
He's an Atlas.
For instance...
He's as strong as this.
How strong you are!
I wonder who's stronger, you or Polo?
Polo?
Yes, he's a robot!
This way.
Here it is!
This is Polo.
As I suspected, this is my father's.
It's covered with dust, isn't it?
I used to play with him before, but not now.
There are too many people who think ill of robots.
Can he speak?
No, he can't, but he understands what we say and he's obedient.
Hey, how are you?
You see?
A computer which understands human language is inside the robot.
Polo, do you remember me? Look, here's Flender.
What's wrong? Don't you recall me, Polo?
Well, we look different than we did then.
Do you know Polo?
Yes, from before we came to this town.
Polo...
You've not changed at all.
Casshan was recalling remote past days,
when he was still called Tetsuya Azuma.
They were sweet memories.
Now go!
I never thought I'd encounter you in such an unfamiliar country.
Father!
You are recalling the old days when you were Tetsuya.
Tetsuya?
Never mind!
While Casshan was indulging in sweet memories,
an Andro Army squad invaded the town.
Their aim was to take the robot made by Dr. Azuma away with them.
The robot must be in this amusement park.
Find him!
Welcome to our park. Take your time and enjoy yourselves.
This is not the one!
Find it! It must be somewhere!
Find out where that robot is without fail!
Here he is!
Who are you?
Be quick and let the Andro Army have the robot.
What?!
They are attacking our town to find this robot.
They will leave without any further attacks if they get it.
No! I won't give them Polo!
Marl, what are you saying?
Polo is my friend.
I would not deliver him to such fellows as the Andro Army!
Which is more important to you: Our lives or that of a robot?
This robot?
The Andro Army wants to obtain the strength of this robot.
They intend to make the robot stronger and remodel it into an Andro Army soldier.
It can't be...
It could become a terrible enemy, you know.
Shut up! Let them have it, anyway!
Right, he's right!
Stop it!
Help Polo, please!
Dammit!
Go!
Stop!
Stop this!
Help! Help us!
Polo's power has not changed at all.
That storehouse is the only one we haven't checked.
Go ahead!
There it is!
Casshan!
I'm sorry, but I cannot let you have this robot.
What?
Defeat him!
Polo, let's cut loose together again after a long time, shall we?
Attack!
Polo!
Don't destroy that robot. Seize it!
Polo, hang in there!
Polo!
Marl, take Polo with you and run away!
Stop!
Dammit!
Hey, wait! Don't leave me alone!
Wait! Don't leave me behind!
Hey, you left half behind!
Idiot!
What? Casshan appeared again?
Yes, sir! We found the robot made by Dr. Azuma, but Casshan was with the robot and...
And you had no chance to get the robot?! You fool!
Yes, sir, I'm sorry!
But that robot is as strong as Casshan.
We want to have that robot more than ever, don't we?
Barashin, get that robot by any means necessary.
Yes, sir! We are searching for it now.
That damn Casshan!
Nice shot!
Bravo! Bravo! Hole in one!
You fool!
Attention humans:
Let us know as soon as you find the robot which escaped from the storehouse in the park.
If you hand the robot over to us, we promise not to do any further damage to this town.
The Andro Army continued their search desperately but they could not find Polo anywhere.
Attention humans:

If you hand the robot over to us, we promise not to do any further damage to this town.
We can never move in the daytime.
Let's go to the port when night falls.
We'll stow away on a ship to someplace far away.
Are your feet all right, Polo?
Don't worry, Polo, I'll protect you.
I have no father or mother. You are my only friend, Polo.
I won't hand you over to anybody.
Who is it?!
Hey, I found the robot!
Darn it! They saw you, Polo!
I found the robot!
Polo!
Hurry up, Polo!
Just over there!
Just a little further.
Do your best, Polo.
We're almost there.
The ships, all of them are...
What's that?!
I've caught you at last.
Well, why don't you hand the robot over to me?
Dammit! How can I give up my dear Polo to a person like you?
Don't worry about the boy and catch the robot!
Polo!
Polo...
Stop it! Polo will die!
Stop! Stop it!
Now, lift it!
Polo! Give Polo back!
Polo! Polo!
The mild-mannered Polo was caught by the Andro Army and renamed Jambot ll.
He was remodeled into a terrible killing robot.
The computer inside the robot has been replaced by an Andro Army computer.
Okay, come out Jambot ll.
Warugarder, attack it!
Attack it!
Well done, Akubon.
This robot is excellent as we expected.
Send it to fight Casshan at once.
Hail, Braiking!
Send Casshan to hell with your power!
Marl...
Casshan!
Casshan, Polo was.... Polo was...
I can guess where they've taken him.
Don't worry, Marl.
I'll bring back Polo without fail.
Really? Are you sure you can bring him back?
Marl, Polo is my friend.
I am his friend too.
It's Polo!
Polo!
Wait! Polo!
Something's different.
But it's Polo over there, isn't it?
Polo!
Come back, Marl!
Polo!
Polo! It's me, Marl!
Polo!
Barashin!
Casshan, today you will finally lose your life!
Casshan, what's the matter with Polo?
Damn the Andro Army!
Polo was reprogrammed by the Andro Army.
What?!
There is no "Polo" any longer. My dear friend Polo is dead.
Jambot ll, send Casshan to Hell!
With my own eyes, I'll watch Casshan's last moment.
Luna, Flender, I'll settle Polo. Defend Marl, please.
Casshan, Polo might recall you.
Speak to him just one more time!
Casshan, Polo is not a bad fellow.
How many times do I have to say it?! It's not Polo any longer!
Polo...
Hurry up, Luna, run away!
Understood. Marl, let's go!
Polo was my close friend,
but Bra/king Boss has remodeled him.
Polo, I'm obliged to defeat you. Forgive me!
Kill him!
Polo...
Polo!
Polo, forgive me...
Marl...
Marl, don't cry any more.
I'm sure Polo was happy to have a friend like you.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
The most beautiful thing on the Earth...
It's got to be friendship and friends.
Polo!
Casshan destroyed his childhood friend, Polo.
He even had to sacrifice his friend in order to fight the Andro Army.
But don't cry Casshan,
until a peaceful morning dawns on us.
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
Swanee has been captured by humans.
The people use Swanee as a shield to convince Braiking Boss to stop his attacks.
Then, they implant a time bomb inside her and release her.
Casshan finds out about it and decides he will wear the bomb instead of Swanee
and charges at the Andro Army.
What's going to happen to him now?
Next time on Casshan: "Swanee in Danger!"
Look forward to it!
