**[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."*
