[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] ---
