[00:05] ---
    Who are you?
[00:07] ---
    I am Casshern.
[00:10] ---
    Luna,
[00:11] ---
    I'm going to kill you.
[00:16] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[00:20] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[00:24] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand
[00:29] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back
[00:42] ---
    I try to escape this harrowing reality
[00:46] ---
    Everything I hoped for in my life
    turned out to be an illusion
[00:53] ---
    A flood of emotions,
    struggles that lead me astray...
[00:57] ---
    I just want to cling onto them
    and move forward, forward!
[01:00] ---
    On these shattered hills,
    under a sky of rust,
[01:04] ---
    you and I are fraught with
    life like azure flowers
[01:09] ---
    We dream that we're bubbles,
    nestled together,
[01:13] ---
    and yet I'm not ready to wither yet!
[01:17] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[01:21] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[01:25] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand
[01:30] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back
[02:34] ---
    That's the day the Ruin began.
[02:39] ---
    From the moment Luna was killed,
[02:42] ---
    the world as we knew it began its
    unstoppable descent towards destruction.
[02:54] ---
    And the name of the man
    who killed her is Casshern!
[02:59] ---
    Yes. Casshern!
[03:05] ---
    He must pay the price for
    what he's done to the world.
[03:12] ---
    Kill him... Kill Casshern!
[03:17] ---
    Kill Casshern!
[03:20] ---
    Kill Casshern! Kill Casshern!
[03:26] ---
    Casshern...
[03:27] ---
    Kill Casshern!
[03:52] ---
    "At the End of the World"
[04:13] ---
    The harbinger of the Ruin of the world,
[04:16] ---
    Casshern.
[04:40] ---
    Devour Casshern!
[04:53] ---
    Kill him...
[04:58] ---
    Kill Casshern!
[05:05] ---
    Devour Casshern!
[05:10] ---
    Why?
[05:11] ---
    What do you stand to gain by devouring me?
[05:15] ---
    The Ruin cannot be stopped now.
[05:18] ---
    Kill me if you must, Casshern,
[05:20] ---
    but this body won't last more than
    half a year amidst this destruction.
[05:25] ---
    What does that have to do with me?
[05:28] ---
    Casshern,
[05:30] ---
    he who devours you shall
    attain eternal life.
[05:35] ---
    That's ludicrous.
[05:37] ---
    I don't know if it's true or not,
[05:40] ---
    but to die without even trying...
[05:45] ---
    is too wretched to fathom!
[05:52] ---
    Die!
[06:09] ---
    The Ruin cannot be stopped...
[06:12] ---
    He who devours me shall
    attain eternal life...
[06:31] ---
    Kill Casshern.
[06:34] ---
    Devour Casshern.
[06:37] ---
    Kill Casshern!
[06:40] ---
    Devour Casshern!
[06:43] ---
    Kill Casshern.
[06:53] ---
    So you become fragile when
    you lose consciousness...
[07:09] ---
    It certainly is a fragile world.
[07:12] ---
    A world of nothing but robots.
[07:42] ---
    Ohji...
[07:46] ---
    Ringo,
[07:48] ---
    you're awake?
[07:50] ---
    You know you need to sleep.
[07:52] ---
    I know.
[08:17] ---
    Devour Casshern...
[08:21] ---
    What an absurd concept.
[08:24] ---
    You'll gain nothing by devouring him.
[08:26] ---
    It won't stop the Ruin.
[08:29] ---
    You...
[08:31] ---
    You're him...
[08:35] ---
    The world is coming to an end.
[08:39] ---
    We all must pay the price.
[08:43] ---
    Casshern must pay,
[08:45] ---
    as will we.
[08:55] ---
    So Casshern has awakened?
[09:00] ---
    Indeed. We knew it would happen.
[09:04] ---
    Your business will be booming for a while.
[10:20] ---
    Beautiful...
[10:23] ---
    --Me?
    --Yeah.
[10:29] ---
    Are you a human, mister?
[10:33] ---
    Then you must be a robot, right?
[10:37] ---
    I... suppose...
[10:41] ---
    You don't know?
[10:52] ---
    Are humans...?
[10:54] ---
    Beats me.
[10:55] ---
    I haven't seen many of them.
[10:58] ---
    That's why I thought you might be one.
[11:02] ---
    Since you're so beautiful.
[11:08] ---
    What's your name, mister?
[11:11] ---
    My name?
[11:13] ---
    I'm Ringo!
[11:17] ---
    I'm Ringo!
[11:24] ---
    I'm...
[11:27] ---
    Kill Casshern!
[11:30] ---
    Casshern...
[11:32] ---
    Kill Casshern!
[11:37] ---
    Casshern.
[11:38] ---
    Casshern?
[11:58] ---
    You waves are so mean!
[12:00] ---
    I had them all lined up!
[12:50] ---
    Are you a robot, too?
[12:52] ---
    Yeah. I started to rust here,
[12:56] ---
    but Ohji fixed me.
[12:58] ---
    I'm usually prettier than this,
[13:01] ---
    but you caught me at a bad moment.
[13:05] ---
    Because the Ruin's begun.
[13:17] ---
    What is the Ruin?
[13:20] ---
    Is it going to happen to me, too?
[13:23] ---
    Man, I don't know what's going on!
[13:26] ---
    But, you really are beautiful, mister.
[13:31] ---
    You aren't all beat up like me.
[13:34] ---
    You're like a human!
[13:39] ---
    I have to get back,
[13:41] ---
    or else Ohji will be worried!
[13:43] ---
    Ohji will be worried! Ohji will be worried!
[13:50] ---
    Bye-bye!
[13:52] ---
    I...
[14:02] ---
    don't think you're beat up.
[14:06] ---
    I don't.
[14:17] ---
    You can have this.
[14:19] ---
    It's the prettiest one I've ever found.
[14:27] ---
    It'll keep you safe.
[14:30] ---
    Thank you.
[14:36] ---
    Thank you.
[15:02] ---
    Just now, that was...
[15:07] ---
    Luna...
[15:13] ---
    Ringo!
[15:24] ---
    Humans will perish,
[15:27] ---
    just like us.
[15:30] ---
    I'm a robot.
[15:33] ---
    A robot kid?
[15:35] ---
    I can't stand kids!
[15:38] ---
    They have that new kid smell!
[15:46] ---
    The world's on its way to Ruin!
[15:50] ---
    It doesn't need any goddamn kids!
[15:55] ---
    Die.
[16:09] ---
    Leave Ringo alone.
[16:11] ---
    Who the hell are you?
[16:14] ---
    Let her go.
[16:16] ---
    Wait, you're him?
[16:24] ---
    Ringo...
[16:33] ---
    You really are beautiful.
[16:44] ---
    Mister...
[16:56] ---
    You're Casshern! No doubt about it!
[17:00] ---
    They say the Ruin will stop if we eat you.
[17:05] ---
    Well, that story's too
    dumb for me to believe.
[17:09] ---
    But, I understand why some
    would want to believe it.
[17:15] ---
    I've never seen a body
    as brand new as yours.
[17:27] ---
    But I'll never get to see it again,
[17:30] ---
    once I smash you...
[17:35] ---
    What are you...?!
[18:35] ---
    Mister...
[18:46] ---
    S-Stop!
[18:48] ---
    Don't.
[19:19] ---
    I don't... wanna... die...
[20:02] ---
    Ohji...
[20:10] ---
    Stay away.
[20:15] ---
    I don't believe my eyes.
[20:38] ---
    Crying in sadness as you bid farewell.
[20:45] ---
    I thought it, but now I've
    seen your true colors myself.
[20:53] ---
    Your ability to kill
    like that is impressive.
[20:57] ---
    Yours is the lowest form of existence!
[20:59] ---
    It always has been.
[21:02] ---
    Do you know my past?
[21:13] ---
    Enough to know that I want to kill you.
[21:16] ---
    Tell me. What am I?
[21:20] ---
    You're nothing more than a killing machine.
[21:24] ---
    Long ago, you killed the Sun named Moon,
[21:27] ---
    and the Ruin began.
[21:35] ---
    The world is already dead.
[21:49] ---
    I know nothing.
[21:51] ---
    Not even myself.
[21:53] ---
    I only know that my enemies
    cry out the name Casshern.
[22:04] ---
    Let's stop asking ourselves
[22:11] ---
    why the tears keep flowing
[22:17] ---
    As soon as the sky is filled
    with blue at daybreak,
[22:24] ---
    let's go ahead and row towards tomorrow
[22:30] ---
    You can't get by on kindness alone,
    so you hurt someone
[22:37] ---
    You can't get by naked to the world,
    so you hold someone
[22:43] ---
    Nobody knows the reason why
[22:45] ---
    Why do we experience love if it hurts so?
[22:56] ---
    Nobody knows the place to go
[22:58] ---
    We seek each other so fervently,
    because nothing goes on forever
[23:30] ---
    There, robots who have
    accepted death reside.
[23:36] ---
    Next time: "A World Replete
    with Death Throes."
