[00:12] ---
    It's not your fault, Casshern.
[00:15] ---
    I feel bad for you...
[00:17] ---
    because it's not your fault.
[00:28] ---
    Stay back!
[00:30] ---
    Don't come any closer to me!
[00:36] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[00:40] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[00:44] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand
[00:49] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back
[01:02] ---
    I try to escape this harrowing reality
[01:06] ---
    Everything I hoped for in my life
    turned out to be an illusion
[01:13] ---
    A flood of emotions,
    struggles that lead me astray...
[01:17] ---
    I just want to cling onto them
    and move forward, forward!
[01:20] ---
    On these shattered hills,
    under a sky of rust,
[01:24] ---
    you and I are fraught with
    life like azure flowers
[01:29] ---
    We dream that we're bubbles,
    nestled together,
[01:33] ---
    and yet I'm not ready to wither yet!
[01:37] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[01:41] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[01:45] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand
[01:50] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back
[02:07] ---
    I killed Luna.
[02:14] ---
    Indeed. You killed Luna.
[02:19] ---
    The Sun named Moon.
[02:22] ---
    So, what are you going to do now?
[02:26] ---
    With that immortal body of yours...
[02:31] ---
    You plan to take responsibility
    for what you've done to the world?
[02:42] ---
    Casshern!
[02:51] ---
    It's not your fault.
[02:53] ---
    Casshern, it's not your fault!
[02:58] ---
    Kids. Why is it that they
    can always see the truth?
[03:08] ---
    I admit that creating Casshern,
[03:12] ---
    and having Luna killed,
[03:15] ---
    were for our own selfish reasons.
[03:19] ---
    Having a kid like that around
    will speed my trip towards Ruin.
[03:25] ---
    Casshern! You be careful, too.
[03:37] ---
    Ringo!
[03:38] ---
    Ringo! Ringo!
[03:44] ---
    Ringo!
[03:49] ---
    "The Truth Illuminates the Darkness"
[03:58] ---
    Don't cry.
[04:02] ---
    I'm sure your sorrow will be healed, too.
[04:07] ---
    Come on, stand up.
[04:11] ---
    Want to come with us?
[04:16] ---
    Come where?
[04:19] ---
    To see Luna.
[04:22] ---
    Luna?
[04:24] ---
    Luna heals the hearts of all beings.
[04:30] ---
    That's why we're all going to see her.
[04:34] ---
    You all... Luna...
[04:37] ---
    Yes, she'll heal us.
[04:41] ---
    Casshern, too?
[04:43] ---
    Casshern?
[04:45] ---
    Is that a friend of yours?
[04:47] ---
    Yes.
[04:49] ---
    If he's in need of healing, too,
[04:52] ---
    he's probably already
    on his way to see Luna.
[05:06] ---
    Luna is in the town up this road.
[05:11] ---
    If we go there...
[05:12] ---
    If we can just meet with Luna...
[05:19] ---
    Come. Let's go.
[05:23] ---
    Okay!
[05:26] ---
    Ringo! Ringo!
[05:36] ---
    They're all heading towards that town.
[05:40] ---
    They're being tricked...
[05:42] ---
    by an impostor posing as Luna.
[05:46] ---
    Ringo! Ringo!
[05:50] ---
    Ringo!
[05:53] ---
    Will I get to see Casshern
    when we get to the town?
[05:56] ---
    Yes, I'm sure you will.
[06:00] ---
    Are all these people going to see Luna?
[06:03] ---
    Yes. If we meet Luna,
[06:07] ---
    each and every one of our
    hearts will be healed.
[06:10] ---
    Ringo!
[06:11] ---
    Hey, Ringo!
[06:12] ---
    Ringo!
[06:18] ---
    Where did you go?
[06:21] ---
    Answer me, Ringo!
[06:23] ---
    Ringo!
[06:34] ---
    That's the one. The town
    where Luna is rumored to be.
[06:40] ---
    Apparently, humans and robots alike
    are flocking to meet with her there.
[06:46] ---
    Yahoo!
[06:48] ---
    I'll be the first one there!
[06:49] ---
    I'm a'coming!
[06:51] ---
    What's going on here?
    They're ignoring my orders.
[06:55] ---
    They're trying to win your approval.
[07:00] ---
    It's a sign of their loyalty.
[07:03] ---
    The ones gathering there
[07:05] ---
    are nothing more than humans and
    robots who outlived their usefulness.
[07:09] ---
    Killing them shouldn't
    cause us any problems.
[07:14] ---
    The same goes for the one
    they're calling Luna.
[07:25] ---
    Casshern killed Luna.
[07:29] ---
    There's no way Luna could be alive.
[07:39] ---
    Ringo! Ringo!
[07:42] ---
    I know you're here somewhere, Ringo!
[07:44] ---
    Answer me if you can hear this!
[07:46] ---
    Ringo!
[07:47] ---
    No! Stop!
[07:53] ---
    Where's the one pretending to be Luna?
[07:56] ---
    You can run, but you can't hide.
[07:57] ---
    They ain't getting healed
    anyway, so kill 'em all.
[08:13] ---
    Ringo! Where are you?
[08:16] ---
    Answer me!
[08:18] ---
    Ringo!
[08:22] ---
    Save me! Save me, great Luna!
[08:25] ---
    Please save me!
[08:26] ---
    I don't want to go! I beg you,
    I'll do anything, O great Luna!
[08:30] ---
    Help me! Give me salvation, O great Luna!
[08:34] ---
    O great Luna!
[09:17] ---
    Ringo! Ringo!
[09:21] ---
    Ohji!
[09:24] ---
    Ringo!
[09:25] ---
    Ohji!
[09:37] ---
    This is your power.
[09:40] ---
    Yours is the highest
    existence in the world.
[09:44] ---
    You possess power which will
    surpass even that of Braiking Boss.
[09:49] ---
    Today marks the first
    step towards that goal.
[09:51] ---
    It's not my power.
[09:53] ---
    You built this army, Leda, not me.
[09:57] ---
    You're mistaken.
[09:59] ---
    They all gathered in your name.
[10:05] ---
    The one and only true savior, Dio.
[10:09] ---
    To serve under the mightiest of kings.
[10:12] ---
    I'm not the mightiest yet.
[10:15] ---
    For me to truly become
    the most powerful of all,
[10:19] ---
    there's one that I have to defeat.
[10:29] ---
    Casshern!
[10:43] ---
    I fall prey to madness and massacre people.
[10:48] ---
    I will destroy the world.
[11:09] ---
    What's wrong? Why do you hesitate to go?
[11:14] ---
    Up until this point,
    you've leapt right into things,
[11:18] ---
    not even stopping to think.
[11:21] ---
    I no longer...
[11:23] ---
    wish to kill anyone.
[11:29] ---
    There will be even more
    death if you do not act.
[11:35] ---
    Sooner or later, we're all going to die.
[11:40] ---
    You're pretty much the
    only exception to that.
[11:47] ---
    In any case, I have no
    interest in who dies.
[11:53] ---
    It's up to you to choose if you
    want to go save them or not.
[12:03] ---
    I don't want to run my mouth
    and cause you to hate me now.
[12:07] ---
    See you around.
[12:15] ---
    What are you doing?
[12:17] ---
    While you're struggling
    internally, people are dying.
[12:20] ---
    Even little kids might be dying!
[12:30] ---
    Little... kids?
[12:36] ---
    It's not your fault, Casshern.
[12:40] ---
    I feel bad for you.
[13:02] ---
    That's him!
[13:04] ---
    We're going to pay you back for...
[13:15] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[13:19] ---
    I-It's Casshern!
[13:21] ---
    Casshern?
[13:22] ---
    Killing him is the ultimate glory.
[13:26] ---
    All right. You're mine!
[13:32] ---
    Where's the one who calls herself Luna?
[13:35] ---
    If you don't know,
    I'm gonna kill you right here.
[13:39] ---
    Luna?
[13:41] ---
    That's what you've been
    killing everyone for?
[14:04] ---
    I don't believe in any sort of god,
[14:07] ---
    but I'm grateful for this good fortune.
[14:15] ---
    Casshern!
[14:18] ---
    Dio!
[14:20] ---
    To think I'd be able to settle our score
[14:22] ---
    so soon after my wounds healed.
[14:32] ---
    Dio!
[14:49] ---
    Did you send them out?
[14:52] ---
    I did.
[14:53] ---
    For what purpose?
[14:57] ---
    To see you, I suppose.
[15:00] ---
    What?
[15:02] ---
    I didn't plan for it to work out this way,
[15:05] ---
    but the net result is the same...
[15:09] ---
    as what I hoped for.
[15:16] ---
    If he can manage to defeat
    Casshern now, he'll...
[15:22] ---
    Casshern and Dio.
[15:24] ---
    Born together, at the same
    place, at the same time.
[15:28] ---
    Now, let's find out which one will
    carve out their place in destiny.
[15:40] ---
    We were both given the same power
    and born for the same purpose.
[15:48] ---
    Our eyes, our nose, our mouths, our ears...
[15:52] ---
    Our arms, our legs...
[15:53] ---
    Every part of our bodies were
    created to the same specifications,
[15:56] ---
    and born with the same abilities.
[16:01] ---
    Nevertheless, you've always
    been one step ahead of me,
[16:06] ---
    even back when you killed Luna.
[16:09] ---
    I'm sick of looking at your back.
[16:16] ---
    But today, I shall stand in front of you.
[16:24] ---
    And I shall kill you!
[16:29] ---
    I'll prove my strength!
[16:39] ---
    Will killing me satisfy you?
[16:41] ---
    Of course.
[16:43] ---
    Killing you validates my claim
    as the strongest in the world.
[16:49] ---
    If that satisfies you, will you
    cease killing anyone else?
[16:54] ---
    What?
[16:56] ---
    If you swear that you will never
    kill another human or robot,
[17:02] ---
    I'll gladly die for you.
[17:06] ---
    You bastard.
[17:08] ---
    Are you making fun of me?!
[17:10] ---
    However, if you cannot swear that to me,
[17:15] ---
    then I will fight.
[17:17] ---
    I'll fight to protect the weak
    and those falling to Ruin!
[17:54] ---
    As the one who killed Luna,
[17:57] ---
    and brought the Ruin into
    this world, this is all I can do...
[18:00] ---
    to make amends for my sin!
[18:02] ---
    Make amends?!
[18:05] ---
    Repent all you'd like, it won't
    change the fact that you killed Luna!
[18:09] ---
    Nor will the humiliation
    you've brought upon me!
[18:19] ---
    Ringo!
[18:22] ---
    You stay out of this, girl.
[18:49] ---
    His wound... I knew it was too soon.
[18:54] ---
    If the army sees Dio's weakness,
    their unity will fall apart.
[19:02] ---
    Don't interfere!
[19:05] ---
    Are you just going to
    watch as the girl dies?
[19:11] ---
    Lyuze!
[19:13] ---
    What are you interfering for?
[19:15] ---
    I haven't lost yet!
[19:17] ---
    I'm aware.
[19:18] ---
    But let's retreat for a bit.
[19:23] ---
    Today's target was the Luna impostor.
[19:26] ---
    As we haven't found her,
    there's no point in us staying in town.
[19:43] ---
    Damn you, Leda.
[19:45] ---
    You can never leave well enough alone.
[19:49] ---
    But to see you support Dio so much...
[19:53] ---
    What on earth are you thinking?
[20:01] ---
    Thank you.
[20:04] ---
    But this doesn't mean I forgive you.
[20:08] ---
    However, if you'll use your
    powers to protect the weak ones,
[20:14] ---
    and the ones falling to Ruin, then I'll...
[20:18] ---
    Lyuze.
[20:20] ---
    If Luna is alive somewhere,
[20:23] ---
    even though you were
    supposed to have killed her,
[20:26] ---
    then this world may be able to change yet.
[20:30] ---
    I refuse to let you die
    until that day comes.
[20:38] ---
    You're going to keep fighting
    until everyone is saved,
[20:42] ---
    Casshern.
[20:49] ---
    You aren't going to try and go with them?
[20:52] ---
    I can't...
[20:55] ---
    I can't leave you behind.
[20:58] ---
    I see.
[21:00] ---
    You're a sweetheart, Ringo.
[21:09] ---
    I wonder if they'll get to see Luna.
[21:12] ---
    Even if they do, I don't think
    it'll lead to happiness for all.
[21:18] ---
    If I can just live quietly
    with you, that's all I need.
[21:47] ---
    Everyone...
[21:49] ---
    Thank you for gathering before me.
[21:52] ---
    I am Luna.
[21:59] ---
    I'll never see you again
[22:05] ---
    I've already said my goodbyes
[22:11] ---
    But I'm sure I'll look back sometimes
[22:18] ---
    I'm still struggling someplace
[22:23] ---
    And your voice will always echo about me,
[22:29] ---
    guiding me and calming my doubts
[22:35] ---
    Will I always travel
    alone, from here on out?
[22:42] ---
    Oh Lord, do you hear my prayers?
[22:49] ---
    I want to be happy
[22:52] ---
    I want to be unhappy
[22:55] ---
    I don't want to feel alone
[22:58] ---
    I want to feel isolated
[23:02] ---
    I want to stay the way I am
[23:05] ---
    I don't want to be the way I am
[23:08] ---
    For the living contradiction that I am...
[23:20] ---
    Please forgive me
[23:30] ---
    There exists a man who resolves
[23:32] ---
    to seek a Sun that shone long ago,
[23:35] ---
    even as he spirals towards Ruin.
[23:39] ---
    Next time: "The God of Death, Dune."
[23:41] ---
