[00:21] ---
    Why do you think the flowers bloom?
[00:28] ---
    It's to make everyone happy.
[00:31] ---
    The flowers bloom for us like this,
    so that we may all smile.
[00:59] ---
    May you have...
[01:01] ---
    eternal healing, too...
[01:25] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[01:29] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[01:33] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand

[01:38] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back

[01:51] ---
    I try to escape this harrowing reality
[01:55] ---
    Everything I hoped for in my life
    turned out to be an illusion

[02:02] ---
    A flood of emotions,
    struggles that lead me astray...

[02:06] ---
    I just want to cling onto them
    and move forward, forward!

[02:09] ---
    On these shattered hills,
    under a sky of rust,

[02:13] ---
    you and I are fraught with
    life like azure flowers

[02:18] ---
    We dream that we're bubbles,
    nestled together,

[02:22] ---
    and yet I'm not ready to wither yet!
[02:26] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[02:30] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[02:34] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand

[02:39] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back

[03:12] ---
    Luna's scent.
[03:15] ---
    Luna's flowers.
[03:24] ---
    My homeland.
[03:31] ---
    Luna!
[03:36] ---
    It's you, isn't it, Dune?
[03:49] ---
    Lady Luna, I'm sorry I could
    not be by your side for so long.
[03:55] ---
    I'm happy to meet you again.
[03:57] ---
    The flowers welcome you as well.
[04:02] ---
    Our Sun...
[04:06] ---
    Come, Dune.
[04:08] ---
    Let me give healing to you as well.
[04:12] ---
    An irreplaceable light...
[04:15] ---
    It's enough for me to gaze upon it.
[04:40] ---
    "For Whom Do the Flowers Bloom?"
[04:46] ---
    Is Luna really in this city?
[04:51] ---
    Is she stopping the ruin?
[04:55] ---
    Let's believe.
[04:57] ---
    But... I wonder if she hurts...
[05:01] ---
    If she suffers...
[05:06] ---
    Ohji told me.
[05:10] ---
    Luna sheds her own blood to heal everyone,
[05:15] ---
    so she can't heal a lot of people at once.
[05:19] ---
    I'd feel bad for her if it hurts.
[06:02] ---
    Luna!
[06:05] ---
    That's Luna?
[06:07] ---
    She's pretty.
[06:18] ---
    Dune?
[06:20] ---
    He reached this place, too.
[06:23] ---
    Yeah.
[06:25] ---
    A friend?
[06:27] ---
    Someone with the same wish as us.
[06:30] ---
    Then I'll go say hi!
[06:41] ---
    Hi!
[06:50] ---
    Casshern?
[06:58] ---
    So you survived.
[07:01] ---
    You let me live.
[07:04] ---
    Even as I fought you, you told me to live.
[07:09] ---
    Did you meet Luna?
[07:12] ---
    Yes.
[07:17] ---
    May the grace of Luna be with you.
[07:40] ---
    There's so many here...
[07:43] ---
    Are you okay, Ringo?
[07:45] ---
    I'm fine.
[08:11] ---
    Hurry! We have to get him to Luna.
[08:15] ---
    Hang on. We'll take you to Luna now.
[08:19] ---
    Thanks...
[08:24] ---
    This is the land of salvation after all.
[08:39] ---
    Destroy him!
[08:40] ---
    Get him!
[08:46] ---
    Now you've done it!
[08:49] ---
    What's wrong?
[08:51] ---
    Is that all you've got?
[08:53] ---
    No way!
[09:01] ---
    Great!
[09:02] ---
    Destroy him!
[09:06] ---
    Why are they doing this?
[09:08] ---
    The fights never stop here.
[09:11] ---
    Even if they're hurt,
[09:14] ---
    they can be healed.
[09:17] ---
    Does Luna know?
[09:21] ---
    The Sun gives nothing.
[09:24] ---
    We simply take it.
[09:30] ---
    You haven't received healing, have you?
[09:36] ---
    Why do the flowers bloom?
[09:40] ---
    There may be no meaning in it after all.
[09:48] ---
    Why, you...!
[10:03] ---
    How sad... He met Luna, too.
[10:08] ---
    It happens.
[10:17] ---
    The one from last night...
[10:47] ---
    What's going on?!
[10:49] ---
    Why? Why?!
[10:53] ---
    Wait! He's still alive!
[11:03] ---
    He's as good as dead.
[11:05] ---
    I can't heal him anymore.
[11:22] ---
    It's not what I thought at all.
[11:26] ---
    This city... And Luna, too.
[11:31] ---
    Ohji...
[11:33] ---
    I think she wants to leave this city, too.
[11:38] ---
    But she's holding it in because
    of her promise with Ohji.
[11:46] ---
    Luna, what are you...?
[12:15] ---
    Luna?
[12:20] ---
    I don't like them.
[12:24] ---
    I don't want to see the Ruin.
[12:27] ---
    Bury it...
[12:32] ---
    and sow new seeds.
[12:35] ---
    For there are many, many seeds to be sown.
[13:09] ---
    Why are you doing this, too?
[13:12] ---
    They're still alive!
[13:17] ---
    Someday we shall part.
[13:19] ---
    When that happens, Luna will be sad.
[13:22] ---
    But even so!
[13:25] ---
    I don't want to see her sad.
[13:35] ---
    Bandits!
[13:37] ---
    They're after Luna!
[13:43] ---
    Dune, with your body like that...!
[13:46] ---
    Where is she?
    Where's this Luna girl?
[13:50] ---
    Bring out Luna!
[13:57] ---
    Who the hell are you?
[14:03] ---
    Get him!
[15:46] ---
    Are you okay, Dune?
[15:51] ---
    How is Luna?
[15:54] ---
    She's safe.
[15:56] ---
    You protected her.
[16:02] ---
    Casshern, he should have Luna heal him.
[16:10] ---
    An irreplaceable light...
[16:15] ---
    It's enough for me to simply look upon it.
[16:20] ---
    Dune! Dune!
[16:24] ---
    Dune!
[16:26] ---
    Dune...
[16:29] ---
    Dune... Dune!
[16:33] ---
    Dune!
[16:35] ---
    Dune...
[16:40] ---
    Dune!
[16:42] ---
    Don't die!
[16:54] ---
    Luna!
[17:13] ---
    Luna...
[17:19] ---
    I hate that which smells of death.
[17:27] ---
    He fought for you!
[17:35] ---
    I can't heal him anymore.
[17:51] ---
    Are you really Luna?
[18:01] ---
    I am Luna.
[18:03] ---
    The one who grants healing.
[18:05] ---
    No, what you're doing is...
[18:09] ---
    I simply continue to heal.
[18:21] ---
    That's Luna?
[18:24] ---
    The Luna everyone seeks?
[18:28] ---
    I told you.
[18:32] ---
    The Sun gives nothing.
[18:36] ---
    It simply is.
[18:39] ---
    And the flowers... They simply bloom.
[18:44] ---
    Not for anyone's sake...
[18:47] ---
    That's not true!
[18:49] ---
    Everyone... Every thing...
[18:51] ---
    As long as they live,
    they're living for someone!
[18:57] ---
    I've learned that on this journey.
[19:03] ---
    Yet it is enough for me to be a flower.
[19:08] ---
    Merely blooming, merely withering...
[19:13] ---
    That's all I need.
[19:24] ---
    Dune!
[19:50] ---
    Who are you?
[19:57] ---
    You look a bit too well
    to be going in a grave.
[20:01] ---
    Who are you?
[20:03] ---
    I protect this place.
[20:06] ---
    Does a friend of yours
    rest here then, perhaps?
[20:09] ---
    No, I just wandered here.
[20:12] ---
    But looking at these graves,
[20:14] ---
    I decided to stay here
    until the world ended.
[20:18] ---
    Why?
[20:20] ---
    It makes me feel better,
[20:22] ---
    knowing there are so many
    who have been destroyed.
[20:27] ---
    This was once a military base, I hear.
[20:31] ---
    It belonged to a guy named Braiking Boss.
[20:34] ---
    I hear Boss made grave
    after grave for his men.
[20:38] ---
    Weird guy.
[20:40] ---
    Why'd he make so many graves?
[20:44] ---
    He...
[20:46] ---
    didn't want to forget
    how much Ruin there'd been.
[20:50] ---
    Huh?
[20:51] ---
    He wanted to carve the vast
    number of deaths into his heart.
[21:00] ---
    Lady Leda!
[21:01] ---
    He says he knows where the
    town Luna dwells in is located!
[21:14] ---
    Luna!
[21:21] ---
    Casshern...
[21:22] ---
    It's a lie that you're giving healing.
[21:26] ---
    You save no one.
[21:29] ---
    Even so, everyone will die without me.
[21:32] ---
    Giving off an ugly, awful scent...
[21:42] ---
    It's ugly to die?
[21:47] ---
    What I felt at the end of my journey
[21:50] ---
    was neither hope nor despair...
[21:53] ---
    but rage.
[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 was no truth at the place we reached,
[23:33] ---
    just an illusion of hope.
[23:38] ---
    Next time: "The Paradise of Lost Hope."
[23:41] ---
