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!
Concerto in the Flames of War
The Andro Army is trying to control the whole world and its attacks have become increasingly fierce.
They are equipped with the latest weapons
and continue to destroy the major cities of the world.
The National Defense Forces, on the other hand, continue to retreat.
People have been forced to give up the streets and home towns that they love.
The next target is Queen City.
Hail, Braiking!
Hey, please let me through.
I'm trying to get to Queen City.
Don't be a fool!
Queen City is the target of robot missiles.
There are no people in the city.
Idiot, it's dangerous to go to Queen City.
We don't know when they'll attack.
My little sister is waiting for me there.
Robot missiles! Run!
Morena, please stay alive.
I will get to Queen City at any cost.
Queen City is known as a focal point for the creation of great music
and is loved by people all over the world.
It is said that musicians
have to be educated in this city to become first-rate performers.
And it is Queen City that is the next target of the Andro Army.
There isn't even a kitten left in this city.
Everyone's run away.
I can't imagine that this city
was once called a place for lovers and a center of music.
Fearing attacks by robots, everyone ran away from here.
Look at that!
That flag means victory.
It means that they will come back.
They must have left that flag, hoping that the people would come back to this city.
That's right, we'll never be defeated.
What is it, Flender?
Let's go!
This is an outdoor concert hall.
There's somebody over there.
Who is it?!
Those foot steps are...
Can't you see?
Don't be afraid.
I am Casshan.
I am Luna.
No need to be scared.
I'm sorry, I thought a robot came.
Because his footsteps are not those of a human being.
If nothing had happened, we would have been having a world music festival here today.
Many people would have been here from all over the world,
in order to listen to our music.
Morena!
Someday you will be able to play for the people.
How am I going to do that?!
I can't see any more.
I was blinded by a robot missile explosion.
I can't read scores.
I can't see a baton.
I'm useless as a pianist!
Morena!
Br..Brother!
Morena!
Morena, I'm glad to see you.
L..I'm glad too.
I've been waiting for you to come back as a world famous conductor.
Morena, what's wrong with your eyes?
The robots...
Oh, poor Morena!
Morena, I want to take revenge for you,
but I don't know how to use a weapon and I don't have any power.
We'll start as soon as we're ready.
Morena, hurry up.
If we hurry to the airport, you'll be able to catch the final flight.
Thank you, Casshan.
We'll leave this city as soon as possible.
Morena, let's hurry.
What's the matter?
I will stay in this city.
If I can't play the piano any more,
then I want to stay in this city that I love.
You fool!
Robots could attack at any time.
That's right, let's hurry.
Let's go.
No, no.
Brother, you understand how I feel, don't you?
I love this city as much as you do.
In this city, I learned how to play the piano and the beauty of music.
I can't leave this city.
Are you going to die with this city?
Casshan, please don't put me in a car.
I think I understand how she feels.
I ceased to be a human being in order to fight the robots.
She is trying to protect this city by giving up her happiness.
You understand me now?
Yes, but you must run away.
That's a cello.
It's coming from the concert hall.
What's going on here?
I don't know.
Everyone, let me introduce a world-famous conductor, Maestro Marino.
Why are all of you here?
We came back to this city.
We just couldn't give up this city.
We would rather die here than anywhere else.
Do all of you think that way?
We became friends in this hall.
We came back here, because we wanted to die in the place we love.
I love this city where my favorite pianist, Morena, lives.
All the people here love music.
I want to play the cello as long as I live
so that they can enjoy good music.
Brother, let's stay here too.
I'm against it.
You should leave this city!
No, I will stay here too.
Wh..What?!
I would like to do my best for these people who love music as much as their own lives.
Casshan, it seems that we can't leave this city.
The Andro Army is sure to attack this concert hall soon.
What? A concert?
Yes, sir, the concert is going to be held in Queen City.
I thought all the people there left the city fearing our attacks.
I thought so too, but the fact is...
I repeat.
So that the music that has been lost to the people will resound beyond the flames of war,
a concert is going to be held in Queen City.
Damn them!
I will never let them have a concert.
A concert is going to be held in Queen City.
We'll be able to hear music again.
It's wonderful that we can be treated to music at a time like this.
Many musicians are gathering in that city.
Jimmy, Silvia, where are you going?
I am going to listen to the piano music of Morena.
Me too!
Hey, where are you going?
I'm going to take part in the concert.
Better not, you won't come back alive.
I will be happy to die for music.
I would rather die while listening to Morena's piano than while running away from robots.
Five, six, seven...
More people are coming!
Nearly thirty people have come.
Robots will never understand how many people love music more than their own lives.
I wonder when Braiking Boss will attack this city?
This force is too big to attack Queen City.
It is said that a lion, the king of beasts, tries its best even when catching a small rat.
Let's destroy the city quickly.
No, I can't play.
If I could see...
If you don't play, who else will?
No, I can't.
Right now, there are a lot of people who came here to listen to your piano playing.
They risked their own lives just to hear you.
We came back to this city.
We just couldn't give up this city.
We would rather die here than anywhere else.
I love this city where my favorite pianist, Morena, lives.
Everyone is fighting in their own way, just like us.
Yes, weapons are not the only way to fight robots.
The difference between people and robots
is that people have the will to accomplish things and to succeed even in the midst of this war.
We will come back to this place.
It's a beautiful concerto.
We will never let the Andro Army have this city.
Understand, Flender and Luna?
I'm ready!
Okay, let's go.
I didn't expect this big a force.
Casshan!
Luna, we will die together if we must.
Yes!
Let's go, Flender!
Run! Robots are coming!
Flee!
Can't you hear me?! Flee!
Why don't you run away?
Luna!
Flender!
Casshan, we can't hold out any longer.
Luna, can you hear the music?
Nobody is running away.
We must fight till the end.
Destroy Casshan and Queen City.
No, you won't!
Casshan!
Go!
Casshan, please listen.
I am playing.
I can play the piano!
Casshan is having a hard time in the fight with the Andro Army,
but he has the last weapon: a super destructive beam.
However, this super destructive beam emits all its accumulated energy in a flash.
Using this weapon is very dangerous for Casshan.
If he does not handle it properly, he will die.
Retreat!
Casshan!
Morena...
Brother!
Morena, you did a beautiful job. Brother!
Thank you, Marino.
I'm glad that I'm alive, so that I can listen to this beautiful music.
I will fight till all robots are destroyed.
Casshan!
The music revived courage and power in the hearts of the people.
But Casshan's actions were not known to anyone,
he did not get any applause from the people.
The voices of Morena and Marino calling for Casshan
echoed in the empty city.
Casshan hides the fact that he is a neo-human.
Carrying that lonely destiny, he keeps fighting the Andro Army.
Fight with glowing ardor, 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 is plotting to put their evil hands on the last oil field,
and Casshan tries to stop them.
But he finds himself in the middle of the scorching desert with swirling magnetic storms.
Casshan and the Andro Army blaze through the desert, tripping over each other.
But the robots break down,
Flender rusts and even Casshan begins to suffer because of magnetic storms.
Next time on Casshan: “Stake Life in the Desert of Death”
Look forward to it!
