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!
An Oath to the Hero Kikero
In this village, every year just around the time the grapes have been harvested,
the Kikero Festival is held to commemorate the hero Kikero.
The Kikero Festival!
They can have a good time for now.
Thank you for giving us a good harvest again this year and for peace in the village.
Please accept our appreciation, Kikero.
Years ago, the hero Kikero happened to pass through this village.
He fell ill and stayed overnight at a house here.
Miroda, what happened then?
Yes, Father.
Kikero was kind and strong.
He fought a gang of thieves who tried to steal many diamonds
and saved the village.
That's right, Kikero is our guardian god.
Well, everyone, let's start the Kikero Festival.
Sorry to disturb your fun, but will you give me the statue?
No, I will never give this to you!
This is the statue of the legendary hero Kikero?
Yes, sir, if we have this many rough diamonds,
we can begin to immediately mass-produce the robot now under test production.
I want to see the test robot.
Come, Swanee.
The iron plates on both sides are of 15cm thickness.
Please observe it in action.
Oh, beautiful!
How do you like it, Braiking Boss?
A specially processed diamond is set at the tip of the claw
and it cuts through the most powerful super alloy materials.
Let's try it.
You are not the target.
Let's try it on Casshan's robot dog, Flender.
Braiking Boss, we have the statue.
Hey!
Wait!
Don't let it get away!
It's a robot!
Hey, wait!
Darn it, he's getting away!
Flender, you can't fight with children, can you?
Hey, who are you?
Oh, I'm sorry, we'd better introduce ourselves.
I am Casshan.
I'm Luna.
We were resting here, because we were a bit tired.
What's that dog?
It's a robot, isn't it?
Yes, that's right.
He's not a bad dog though.
Flender, greet them.
I'm going to fetch the others.
Hey, hang on!
How cute.
He's just like a dog.
Say, did something happen to this village?
The whole village has become so quiet, like nobody is living here.
Robot soldiers came and took away the statue of Kikero.
Robot soldiers?
Kikero?
This is Kikero.
This is made of rough diamonds.
Barashin!
ls something wrong, sir?
Braiking Boss...
You idiot!
Do you claim that this is made of rough diamonds?
What's this?!
J..Just glass!
B..But this is surely the statue of Kikero.
Then they have two statues.
Human beings always make a copy of their treasures.
They have the genuine statue hidden somewhere.
Look for it, Barashin!
We must find it by any means.
You, we told you not to come here.
This is an emergency!
An emergency?
A robot dog is in the village.
A robot dog?
Yes, and a strange boy and girl are with him.
Okay, we'll come immediately.
A robot dog?
Does he belong to the Andro Army?
It seems the robots have discovered
that the statue of Kikero is a copy made out of glass to use at the festival.
They must be using the robot dog to search for the genuine statue.
But they will never discover this place.
What should we do?
They will search the village thoroughly this time.
We must pretend not to know anything.
We will never give this statue to them.
In an emergency...
we'll run away with this.
You know, with this many diamonds, we can live comfortably.
You fool!
The statue of Kikero is the treasure of our whole village.
Noble Kikero, please protect our village against the robots.
Kikero will not be able to do anything.
No, he will protect us for sure.
You said that a strange boy is in our village.
Where is he?
Look, that's the robot dog.
Move!
Don't shoot!
This dog is a robot but not our enemy.
I just happened to be passing through this village and have no intention of harming you.
Then why do you have a robot dog?
Well...
It's because my father studied robots.
Yes, he is surely a human being and no robot.
Okay, but we don't like to have strangers in our village.
Leave here right now!
I want to know one thing.
What is it?
ls it true that the statue of Kikero was stolen by robots?
Why do you want to know about it?
Well, I was just curious.
Hey, you must be a spy!
Robots are raiding us!
Run, Miroda!
Please stop this.
Where is the other statue of Kikero?
We had only one statue.
Okay, if you're that stubborn...
Burn down the whole village.
But that's...
Get away, robots! But that's...
What?
Dad!
Give us the statue.
If you don't, we'll start another raid.
Attack!
Wait! Attack!
You're...
Do you want to fight with me?
I'll defeat you, kid.
Claw Robot 1, attack!
Be careful, Flender!
Flender!
So, now you've seen how powerful our claw robot is!
Dammit!
I'll defeat it!
Ca..Casshan!
Come, Claw Robot, defeat him.
We'll get you next time!
Dammit!
You're really strong!
You're just like our hero, Kikero.
Yes, Kikero!
Noble Kikero has come to life again.
Are you okay, Flender?
He's slightly hurt, that's all.
But if he's unable to stand up, that claw must be very powerful.
It probably has a specially processed diamond set in its tip.
Can you fix him?
Yes, I think I can.
It's not too serious.
Oh, I see.
I've heard that the statue of Kikero is made of rough diamonds, right?
Yes, the children have told me so.
That's why they are after the statue.
Everybody, where is the statue of Kikero?
We'd better make ourselves ready for the next attack of the Andro Army.
Don't believe him!
He isn't a human being. He's a robot!
Yo u'.- 9 Wrong.
He is Noble Kikero.
Noble Kikero revived.
You saw how he fought.
That's beyond a mere human being.
He can't be a human!
I'll show you that he's a robot.
Cut it out!
He isn't a robot.
Be careful, please.
What will happen to us if he is a robot?
L..Look, I was right.
He's not a human. He's a robot.
I am not a robot!
I'm not!
lam a human being!
Don't believe him!
No human being can deflect a bullet like that.
I have a bulletproof vest.
I'm a human being!
It's true, please believe me.
I am not a robot!
What? Casshan?
Yes, we couldn't kill that robot dog because of Casshan,
Braiking Boss, sir!
Akubon, how many claw robots can we make out of the diamonds we have?
Sir, maybe about thirty.
Okay, start right away.
But improve the electronic brain so that a claw robot will not cut itself.
Yes, sir!
Luna, I am afraid the children don't like me any more.
Don't worry, Flender.
It's not your fault.
But even if they don't believe me, I must protect the statue of Kikero.
What's the matter, Flender?
What is it?
Wait, Miroda!
Where are you going?
To see Casshan?
No, I'm not!
Then, what's in that paper bag?
A robot will not eat these things.
Casshan is not a robot.
A human being can't be that strong!
Don't talk like that about Casshan!
What?!
Why you!
Darn it! Darn it!
Miroda, stop it!
Casshan!
He's a robot!
He's a robot human! He's a robot!
He's a robot human!
Stop that, you jerks!
You brought this for me, thank you.
Miroda...
If I were a robot...
would you hate me?
I see...
Casshan was grateful for the young boy's sincere admiration.
To display his appreciation to the boy,
he ate food for the first time since he became a neo-human.
Hurray!
You really aren't a robot, right?
It was easy for Casshan, who was reborn as a neo-human,
to pretend that he was eating, but the truth was that he couldn't taste anything.
Oh, Grandpa!
Please follow me.
I will show you where the statue is.
Are you sure?
Yes, I believe you.
Now, let's go.
The statue of Kikero ?
Barashin, show Casshan how strong our claw robots are.
Hail, Braiking!
March!
Kikero, I told a lie to Miroda.
Please tell me if I should tell him the truth.
Hide the truth.
You shouldn't tell anybody.
If you do, everybody will be disappointed.
Are you sure?
Are you sure, Kikero?
You must hide the fact that you are a neo-human
and protect the villagers and the statue from attacks by the Andro Army.
Yes, I will.
I will!
He seems to be talking.
He is the reincarnation of noble Kikero.
The hero Kikero is in front of me!
Kikero, please beat the robots up!
Yes, I will.
To hell with the Andro Army!
Here come the robots!
Listen, we break up the statue and get all the diamonds.
Then we run away separately.
Who is it?!
They're here!
You aren't going to break the statue, are you?
Yes, that's better than it being stolen by robots.
Shame on you!
Please stop fighting amongst yourselves.
Your enemy is the Andro Army, who's attacking your village right now!
Yes, and you are one of them.
No, you're wrong!
He is Noble Kikero.
I don't believe it!
They're here!
Run!
Flender, let's go!
Watch out, Flender!
Can you defeat the powerful force of our claw robots, Casshan?
Flender Tank!
It destroyed the claws!
Disengage! Retreat!
Wait!
Look, Casshan has fallen!
Casshan!
He's okay, Miroda.
He's only unconscious.
He will come to himself soon.
Are you sure?
Look, everybody.
Would a robot lose consciousness?
This proves that he is a human being.
Yes, Kikero may really have been reincarnated.
Casshan!
Thank you, Casshan.
Because of you, the statue of Kikero is safe.
We can celebrate the festival now.
I'm glad, Miroda.
If the Andro Army tries to steal the statue again, I will return.
Luna, let's go.
Casshan!
H..He is Noble Kikero.
This is the return of Noble Kikero.
Casshan!
Casshan, look, the villagers.
Now that the fierce battle is over, Casshan is quietly leaving the village.
In Casshan, the villagers see the reflection of Hero Kikero
who once protected the village.
Everybody believes that you are Noble Kikero now.
I... I feel like crying.
Casshan!
As the whole town showed him off, Casshan felt encouraged.
Casshan must hide the fact that he is a neo-human
and keep on fighting with the Andro Army.
The villagers pray for Casshan.
Casshan, overcome that lonely destiny!
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
Braiking Boss tries to produce a steel black panther robot, Warugada,
in order to counter Flender.
And he orders an attack on the mine, hoping to obtain some iron for its production.
After learning his plan, Casshan immediately heads to the mine.
Finally, the two engage in a fierce battle.
The deadly battle between Casshan and Braiking Boss,
and Flender and Warugada continues.
Next time on Casshan: “The Roar of the Wild Beast Robot”
Look forward to it!
