[00:08] ---
    I am Casshern.
[00:13] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[00:17] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[00:21] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand
[00:26] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back
[00:39] ---
    I try to escape this harrowing reality
[00:43] ---
    Everything I hoped for in my life
    turned out to be an illusion
[00:50] ---
    A flood of emotions,
    struggles that lead me astray...
[00:54] ---
    I just want to cling onto them
    and move forward, forward!
[00:57] ---
    On these shattered hills,
    under a sky of rust,
[01:01] ---
    you and I are fraught with
    life like azure flowers
[01:06] ---
    We dream that we're bubbles,
    nestled together,
[01:10] ---
    and yet I'm not ready to wither yet!
[01:14] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[01:18] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[01:22] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand
[01:27] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back
[01:52] ---
    This city paints over its past.
[01:56] ---
    When the king changed,
    the town's history changed with it,
[01:59] ---
    and the town was redone
    to please the new king.
[02:04] ---
    That's the kind of town this was.
[02:18] ---
    Ohji!
[02:22] ---
    And there was a queen here
    called the Goddess of Healing.
[02:45] ---
    Casshern...
[02:48] ---
    At night, an insect tries
    to fly to the moon.
[02:52] ---
    The unsmiling moon, and the bug,
    falling as its strength fades.
[02:59] ---
    This world is getting quieter and quieter.
[03:04] ---
    "Painting with the Brush of Life"
[03:05] ---
    Do you still seek Luna?
[03:35] ---
    This is...
[03:40] ---
    Luna!
[03:42] ---
    Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna!
[03:47] ---
    -Luna! Luna!
    -You know of Luna?
[03:51] ---
    Luna!
[03:58] ---
    The goddess who overcomes death, Luna.
[04:02] ---
    It would've been better
    if I had never heard of her.
[04:06] ---
    I could've given up.
[04:11] ---
    You are Casshern, correct?
[04:18] ---
    Casshern?
[04:20] ---
    I'm...
[04:22] ---
    This spring which once healed
    us has become our grave.
[04:31] ---
    If you do not wish to accept death...
[04:35] ---
    leave.
[04:41] ---
    Let's go, Friender.
[05:17] ---
    Hey, you're stepping in it!
[05:31] ---
    You!
[05:37] ---
    You're like new!
[05:39] ---
    How wonderful!
[05:42] ---
    Your body is a piece of art!
[05:44] ---
    Art is wonderful!
[05:45] ---
    I feel a sympathy with you.
[05:47] ---
    Excuse me?
[05:50] ---
    Okay, okay, okay!
[05:54] ---
    Oh, excuse me.
[05:58] ---
    I must test this new inspiration
    in my art right away!
[06:04] ---
    You haven't given up on the future?
[06:07] ---
    What's that?
[06:09] ---
    Artists don't give up easily, you know.
[06:12] ---
    And, they want to leave
    something of themselves to time.
[06:17] ---
    I can't stop the Ruin.
[06:19] ---
    But you know,
[06:21] ---
    I want to leave my own
    colors on the end of history.
[06:31] ---
    You who fear death...
[06:34] ---
    Would you like to go see
    what it means to live?
[07:10] ---
    Hey, it's been a while.
[07:12] ---
    Since I lost my legs, I guess.
[07:19] ---
    This is it.
[07:21] ---
    These colors are the proof
    that the kings of every era
[07:23] ---
    repainted this city in their own colors!
[07:26] ---
    Do you see?
[07:31] ---
    This land has had as many
    rulers as there are colors here.
[07:36] ---
    Even if their color was painted over,
    and their era came to an end,
[07:39] ---
    they really existed.
[07:42] ---
    They lived.
[07:49] ---
    Young man, don't you think
    that life is about how you live it?
[07:56] ---
    We shouldn't grieve over the Ruin.
[07:58] ---
    We should think about
    how to live right now.
[08:02] ---
    That's what's important!
[08:09] ---
    Behold!
[08:12] ---
    This dark color...
[08:17] ---
    This is the color of Braiking Boss's era!
[08:23] ---
    It's so strong.
[08:26] ---
    The government was oppressive,
    and it was a terrifying time.
[08:31] ---
    But there was a balance and order there.
[08:58] ---
    The order was beautiful,
[09:01] ---
    in its own way.
[09:09] ---
    The era of Braiking Boss came to an end,
[09:11] ---
    and this town has been
    without a ruler for a long time.
[09:14] ---
    It's now painted over with sand,
    the color of nature itself.
[09:33] ---
    I talked too much, perhaps.
[09:35] ---
    I must continue to paint
    this town in my own color!
[09:40] ---
    If you'll excuse me.
[09:51] ---
    Braiking Boss...
[09:58] ---
    Hey!
[10:01] ---
    Would you help me down the stairs?
[10:15] ---
    Even as the Ruin is upon us,
[10:18] ---
    he still lives without giving up.
[10:35] ---
    It's strange, Friender.
[10:37] ---
    I must leave right away to search for Luna,
[10:43] ---
    but I want to see the repainted
    town more than anything.
[11:03] ---
    A silver path?
[11:05] ---
    Nope, man.
[11:10] ---
    I've completed the path
    that goes to the Sun.
[11:13] ---
    I've finally repainted history!
[11:26] ---
    I have no memories of the past.
[11:30] ---
    So, I'm not sure if I've even lived.
[11:39] ---
    But, just as you've painted
    over the eras past,
[11:44] ---
    I must live and go on.
[11:49] ---
    To know who I am.
[11:58] ---
    That's right, man.
[12:01] ---
    Go forward and it will become a path.
[12:41] ---
    It's truly the path to hope.
[12:51] ---
    Don't be stupid, Margo.
[12:55] ---
    Hey, everyone.
[12:57] ---
    I see you're all together.
[12:58] ---
    What can I do for you?
[13:00] ---
    Accursed fool.
[13:03] ---
    Why do you not accept the Ruin with us?
[13:08] ---
    I...
[13:10] ---
    Your presence disrupts order...
    No, our very hearts!
[13:15] ---
    Do it!
[13:19] ---
    What do you still have
    hope for, after all this?
[13:27] ---
    That's right. Accept your fate.
[13:30] ---
    We're going to be destroyed.
[13:34] ---
    Why do you give up?
[13:36] ---
    Why don't you try to live
    before you're destroyed?!
[13:38] ---
    Shut up!
[13:46] ---
    Tear all this down.
[13:50] ---
    The Ruin is almost upon us!
[13:59] ---
    It pisses me off.
[14:01] ---
    I don't want to see it!
[14:03] ---
    Stop.
[14:05] ---
    As long as we live, we
    have the right to hope.
[14:10] ---
    Be quiet.
[14:12] ---
    Quietly accept the Ruin with us,
[14:16] ---
    Margo.
[14:33] ---
    Why are you doing this?
[14:37] ---
    His actions disturb the
    natural way of things.
[14:42] ---
    Accept the Ruin and quietly await your end.
[14:46] ---
    We cannot ignore someone
[14:47] ---
    who disrupts our order, our very hearts.
[14:54] ---
    What's wrong with not giving up on life?
[14:59] ---
    There's no one worthy of
    repainting this town left.
[15:09] ---
    Accepting the Ruin is our task.
[15:14] ---
    No...
[15:15] ---
    Accepting the Ruin... Accepting despair?
[15:19] ---
    Silence.
[15:22] ---
    You're beautiful.
[15:24] ---
    The Ruin hasn't even
    started affecting you yet.
[15:26] ---
    That's why you don't
    understand our feelings!
[15:29] ---
    Even if we have hope,
    we'll still be destroyed.
[15:33] ---
    So we have no choice but to accept Ruin.
[15:45] ---
    Stop it! Stop it...
[15:49] ---
    I...
[15:55] ---
    Await the Ruin with us, Casshern!
[16:35] ---
    Casshern, you are truly a killing machine.
[16:38] ---
    One which gave birth to the Ruin.
[16:44] ---
    N-No, I...
[17:02] ---
    I'm sorry. This...
[17:07] ---
    It's my fault.
[17:16] ---
    It's nothing.
[17:18] ---
    I just need to repaint it.
[17:21] ---
    History is repainted.
[17:23] ---
    Over and over, for eternity.
[17:46] ---
    How ugly...
[17:50] ---
    The history born of
    conflict is always ugly.
[17:56] ---
    That may be why the
    former rulers of this town
[17:59] ---
    repainted it so frantically.
[18:06] ---
    Perhaps, I'll let it be
    painted the color of nature.
[18:10] ---
    Just as the Sun named Moon desired.
[18:15] ---
    You know Luna?
[18:17] ---
    I've never seen her, but I
    heard she came to this town.
[18:24] ---
    And I heard that she said...
[18:26] ---
    that she wanted this town
    to have its natural color.
[18:34] ---
    Young man, I have a request.
[18:38] ---
    Would you paint me in my color?
[19:02] ---
    Geez...
[19:04] ---
    To think the Ruin would come so quickly.
[19:13] ---
    Well, I was falling apart anyway.
[19:20] ---
    Come, I beg you.
[19:22] ---
    Paint me in my color.
[19:33] ---
    Then, in the color you desire.
[19:39] ---
    You said you have no memories,
    but memories are made day by day.
[19:47] ---
    Your encounter with me is one of them.
[19:51] ---
    So, don't forget me.
[19:57] ---
    I can't resist the Ruin.
[20:00] ---
    But...
[20:02] ---
    being forgotten by
    everyone is just too sad.
[20:09] ---
    If nothing else, I wanted to
    leave my color upon my town.
[20:42] ---
    Margo,
[20:44] ---
    this town is painted in
    the color you wanted.
[20:53] ---
    Luna wished for nature to
    paint this town in its color.
[20:57] ---
    Does that mean accepting the Ruin?
[21:10] ---
    Luna, who are you?
[21:20] ---
    So beautiful...
[21:21] ---
    I think maybe he lived as hard as
    he could, and then died, don't you?
[21:26] ---
    That's right. That's possible.
[21:31] ---
    I hope the snow never melts.
[21:42] ---
    Memories fall and build up
    in the heart like snow,
[21:47] ---
    but the snow of memories never melts.
[21:52] ---
    Margo, I won't forget you.
[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
[23:29] ---
    Those with a past shrouded in darkness
[23:32] ---
    are pierced by its cruel truth.
[23:36] ---
    Next time: "The Past Rises Before My Eyes."
[23:39] ---
