[00:05] ---
    Who are you?
[00:07] ---
    I am Casshern.
[00:10] ---
    Luna,
[00:12] ---
    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
[01:46] ---
    Yes, you need to remember
    exactly what you've done.
[01:53] ---
    You're nothing more than a killing machine!
[01:57] ---
    Long ago, you killed the Sun named Moon,
[02:01] ---
    and the Ruin began.
[02:06] ---
    The world is already dead.
[02:12] ---
    And it's all your fault!
[02:14] ---
    I killed the world?
[02:18] ---
    What did I do?
[02:19] ---
    How the hell could you forget?!
[02:21] ---
    How?
[02:23] ---
    After what you've done...
[02:27] ---
    How?
[02:30] ---
    It's meaningless for me to kill you now.
[02:35] ---
    Allowing you to die ignorant
    of what you've done...
[02:37] ---
    That'd be the same as sparing you.
[02:40] ---
    I won't allow that!
[02:44] ---
    I will never forgive you.
[02:46] ---
    You need to take a good look at the
    Ruin you've unleashed upon us all.
[02:52] ---
    Even if you cannot feel pain,
[02:54] ---
    you should know exactly
    what sin you're dying for.
[03:01] ---
    Understand this!
[03:02] ---
    You... You must understand why!
[03:06] ---
    I will not allow you to die in ignorance!
[03:14] ---
    My sin?
[03:18] ---
    "A World Replete with Death Throes"
[03:36] ---
    Something has been spread across the world,
[03:39] ---
    even within the quiescent earth.
[03:41] ---
    Look around.
[03:43] ---
    Everyone has been turned
    into shells full of madness...
[03:47] ---
    by our horrific desire to live.
[03:51] ---
    Nevertheless, we should be pitied.
[03:54] ---
    We're just senselessly
    facing our final days,
[03:58] ---
    for we haven't accomplished a damn thing.
[04:05] ---
    The ones who unleashed these
    deranged lives upon the world...
[04:09] ---
    are none other than
    the humans who built us!
[04:15] ---
    I can tell you don't give a crap
    about what I'm telling you.
[04:19] ---
    Right. Robots can live forever, yes?
[04:24] ---
    Those days are long gone.
[04:26] ---
    We had dominion over the humans.
[04:31] ---
    Those days are also long gone.
[04:35] ---
    Why do we robots have to die?!
[04:41] ---
    I don't wanna die.
[04:43] ---
    They say you can keep living
    if you devour Casshern!
[04:46] ---
    Those stupid rumors increase by the day.
[04:49] ---
    Look at me. I can be covered
    in flames, without issue.
[04:53] ---
    I'd like to see a human do that!
[04:55] ---
    I won't die. I ain't gonna die!
[05:03] ---
    I can't even tell if we were ever alive.
[05:12] ---
    Root, all that awaits us is Ruin, huh?
[05:19] ---
    I can feel your warmth with my hand.
[05:23] ---
    Isn't that strange for a robot?
[05:26] ---
    But, my heart dances when I'm with you.
[05:30] ---
    Electricity sparked when you touched me.
[05:34] ---
    An incredible energy was born inside of me.
[05:38] ---
    And, when I connected with you...
[05:43] ---
    I thought I had turned human.
[05:48] ---
    Humans die, don't they?
[05:52] ---
    And, since I began loving you,
[05:56] ---
    I feel as if the Ruin
    inside of me has stopped.
[05:59] ---
    I want to stay with you forever.
[06:03] ---
    I don't want to fall to Ruin.
[06:07] ---
    We'll be together till the end, Wrench.
[06:11] ---
    Until the very instant we fall apart.
[06:18] ---
    Root...
[06:21] ---
    When I see you pretending
    to be goddamn humans,
[06:25] ---
    it makes me want to rip you to pieces!
[06:29] ---
    Die! Fall to Ruin with the humans!
[06:35] ---
    Root, hurry!
[06:38] ---
    Wrench!
[06:40] ---
    Wanna pretend we're lovers?
[06:47] ---
    Root!
[06:54] ---
    My arm!
[06:56] ---
    Root!
[07:01] ---
    You knocked my arm off...
[07:09] ---
    Friender!
[07:23] ---
    Friender!
[07:43] ---
    Stop this.
[07:44] ---
    The Ruin hasn't begun for you yet.
[07:47] ---
    That pisses me off.
[08:31] ---
    Excuse me...
[08:34] ---
    Thank you for rescuing us.
[08:36] ---
    Thank you very much.
[08:39] ---
    We understand that we're
    going to fall to Ruin eventually,
[08:42] ---
    but we wish to live out our days in peace.
[09:17] ---
    Novu's life was claimed by
    the Ruin just a moment ago.
[09:34] ---
    Novu,
[09:35] ---
    I'm sorry I couldn't be with you.
[09:37] ---
    Novu won't be alone for long.
[09:39] ---
    It's almost our turn.
[09:42] ---
    We're on the way. Just you wait.
[09:44] ---
    Novu fell to Ruin quietly.
[09:47] ---
    Oh, this is the person who
    rescued us after we were attacked.
[10:11] ---
    I'm not gonna die.
[10:13] ---
    Like hell I'll die!
[10:16] ---
    I'll eat Casshern and keep on living.
[10:29] ---
    There's not a spot of rust on you.
[10:33] ---
    It's a miracle that the Ruin
    hasn't begun affecting you.
[10:37] ---
    You don't look human,
[10:39] ---
    but it's hard to fathom
    that you're a robot.
[10:44] ---
    You look as if you were made yesterday.
[10:48] ---
    I don't know anything.
[10:50] ---
    Not who I am,
[10:52] ---
    nor what's happening to the world.
[10:56] ---
    Can you tell me what the Ruin is?
[10:59] ---
    And what's happening to the world?
[11:02] ---
    We have no words to pray nor tears to shed.
[11:07] ---
    All we can do is quietly
    accept our descent into Ruin.
[11:11] ---
    Thank you, Father.
[11:13] ---
    I wasn't ready to fall apart just yet.
[11:31] ---
    The Ruin did this?
[11:34] ---
    Their bodies begin to rust away,
[11:37] ---
    and it no longer becomes possible to
    exchange parts or undergo maintenance.
[11:40] ---
    And it goes without saying
    that we cannot make new robots.
[11:44] ---
    Why not?
[11:46] ---
    I don't know.
[11:48] ---
    But I'm certain it's unavoidable.
[11:52] ---
    So the Ruin cannot be stopped?
[11:55] ---
    No, there is one strange rumor.
[11:59] ---
    They say you'll be saved if you
    eat a robot named Casshern.
[12:04] ---
    It's an absurd, baseless rumor.
[12:09] ---
    Furthermore,
[12:11] ---
    I also think stopping the
    Ruin itself to be meaningless.
[12:19] ---
    I felt alive for the first time
[12:21] ---
    once I realized that I
    would also fall to Ruin.
[12:25] ---
    With death, comes life.
[12:29] ---
    Once we eternal robots received death...
[12:32] ---
    we became one with the humans.
[12:35] ---
    Just like the humans,
    we should accept death.
[12:40] ---
    All those who've gathered
    here share this sentiment.
[12:50] ---
    We all serenely await falling to Ruin.
[12:54] ---
    I doubt it'll be much longer.
[12:58] ---
    Rest in peace, Novu.
[13:16] ---
    You should get out of here.
[13:19] ---
    You aren't suited to this place.
[13:22] ---
    Why's that?
[13:24] ---
    You're too full of life.
[13:35] ---
    What's the matter, Friender?
    Wrench won't play with you?
[13:39] ---
    Those falling to Ruin lack
    the energy you require.
[13:54] ---
    And it's all your fault!
[13:58] ---
    You're leaving?
[14:03] ---
    The Ruin hasn't affected Friender yet.
[14:07] ---
    He'll be left all alone if he stays here.
[14:15] ---
    I want you to take him with you.
[14:19] ---
    I...
[14:21] ---
    Besides, the two of you are alike.
[14:25] ---
    You're both always on edge.
[14:28] ---
    You don't know who you are.
[14:30] ---
    He's just like you, so...
[14:32] ---
    Wrench!
[14:39] ---
    I thought you got sick
    of the place and left!
[14:43] ---
    Didn't we decide to peacefully ride
    out our destruction here together?
[14:54] ---
    You aren't afraid of death?
[14:56] ---
    Not if we're together.
[14:58] ---
    You probably think it's strange
    for robots to become lovers,
[15:02] ---
    but we did.
[15:05] ---
    We don't understand it ourselves.
[15:08] ---
    Friender, watch us fall to Ruin, okay?
[15:12] ---
    Come.
[15:26] ---
    Twenty-one.
[15:28] ---
    Twenty-two.
[15:30] ---
    Twenty-three.
[15:31] ---
    Twenty-four.
[15:33] ---
    Twenty-five.
[15:38] ---
    Twenty-eight.
[15:39] ---
    Twenty-nine.
[15:41] ---
    Thirty!
[15:43] ---
    -Thirty-one.
    -He's good.
[15:45] ---
    Thirty-two...
[15:47] ---
    I'm going to go await
    the Ruin inside the church.
[15:52] ---
    Doru!
[15:58] ---
    I'm scared... I thought I wasn't, but I am!
[16:01] ---
    I don't want to die!
[16:12] ---
    It'll be okay. We'll be
    together until the end.
[16:21] ---
    If this is my fault,
[16:23] ---
    then how can I make amends?
[16:30] ---
    No!
[16:35] ---
    Casshern!
[16:38] ---
    Nita!
[16:39] ---
    Casshern!
[16:41] ---
    I'm gonna eat you!
[16:46] ---
    Stop, you've got it wrong!
[16:48] ---
    That isn't Casshern!
[16:52] ---
    That isn't Casshern.
[17:01] ---
    Found him.
[17:06] ---
    Casshern!
[17:10] ---
    Root!
[17:12] ---
    I'm gonna eat you!
[17:17] ---
    Friender!
[17:21] ---
    Stop!
[17:25] ---
    Outta my way!
[17:30] ---
    Casshern,
[17:31] ---
    they say the Ruin will stop if I eat you.
[17:34] ---
    I'm gonna eat you.
[17:36] ---
    I'll eat you and live forever!
[17:50] ---
    Who the hell are you?!
[17:52] ---
    I... am Casshern.
[17:58] ---
    I knew it.
[18:02] ---
    Casshern...
[18:07] ---
    Casshern! You know the rumor!
[18:10] ---
    If I eat you, I'll be free from the Ruin!
[18:21] ---
    I don't wanna die.
[18:23] ---
    Hurry and let me eat you!
[18:29] ---
    We'll be together until the end.
[18:37] ---
    Devour Casshern...
[18:46] ---
    So you are Casshern.
[18:51] ---
    Hurry and leave this place.
[18:59] ---
    Father, that's cruel.
[19:01] ---
    Casshern saved our lives.
[19:04] ---
    Root!
[19:05] ---
    You can save us again.
[19:13] ---
    From the Ruin.
[19:17] ---
    Why?
[19:19] ---
    We'll live forever if we eat you!
[19:26] ---
    Root...
[19:32] ---
    I want to live.
[19:34] ---
    I don't want to die...
[19:39] ---
    I don't want to die.
[19:43] ---
    Devour him...
[19:45] ---
    Stop! You said you'd stay
    with me until the end!
[19:49] ---
    You said we'd accept the Ruin!
[19:51] ---
    I found a way to go on living, Wrench.
[19:55] ---
    I don't want to die.
[19:57] ---
    No!
[20:01] ---
    Stop this.
[20:09] ---
    I don't want to die...
    I don't want to die...
[20:15] ---
    Devour Casshern!
[20:17] ---
    Devour Casshern...
    Devour Casshern!
[20:26] ---
    Casshern...
[20:27] ---
    Devour Casshern!
[20:53] ---
    Friender!
[20:59] ---
    I thought we could be human.
[21:02] ---
    I thought we connected.
[21:05] ---
    I felt a new feeling blooming
    inside of my body and soul.
[21:10] ---
    That's why I wasn't afraid of the Ruin.
[21:13] ---
    I thought we could be human. But...
[21:17] ---
    Why? We promised we'd peacefully
    let the Ruin come and take us...
[21:24] ---
    If you hadn't come here,
    we would've done just that!
[21:28] ---
    It's because you got close
    to us in that body of yours!
[21:34] ---
    You're actually immortal, huh?
[21:38] ---
    You're wrong!
[21:43] ---
    Stop this already...
[21:45] ---
    Stop! This is enough!
[21:51] ---
    The robots who believed in eternity
    are dying one after another.
[21:55] ---
    And yet, I...
[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
[23:31] ---
    There exists a man.
[23:33] ---
    All alone, in the parched plains.
[23:37] ---
    Next time: "To the Ends of Agony."
[23:40] ---
