[00:08] ---
    Casshern!
[00:17] ---
    Casshern!
[00:31] ---
    Lyuze?
[00:33] ---
    I'll go.
[00:36] ---
    Lyuze.
[00:37] ---
    It's okay.
[00:42] ---
    Lyuze, I'm sorry.
[00:44] ---
    It's because I ran...
[00:45] ---
    I'm fine. Are you okay, Ringo?
[00:49] ---
    Yeah.
[00:50] ---
    Ringo...
[00:52] ---
    Casshern...
[00:57] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[01:01] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[01:05] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand

[01:10] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back

[01:23] ---
    I try to escape this harrowing reality
[01:27] ---
    Everything I hoped for in my life
    turned out to be an illusion

[01:34] ---
    A flood of emotions,
    struggles that lead me astray...

[01:38] ---
    I just want to cling onto them
    and move forward, forward!

[01:41] ---
    On these shattered hills,
    under a sky of rust,

[01:45] ---
    you and I are fraught with
    life like azure flowers

[01:50] ---
    We dream that we're bubbles,
    nestled together,

[01:54] ---
    and yet I'm not ready to wither yet!
[01:58] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[02:02] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[02:06] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand

[02:11] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back

[02:30] ---
    We've finally acquired Luna.
[02:34] ---
    Now the Ruin will stop.
[02:37] ---
    Why do you not give healing to all?
[02:44] ---
    There's no point if everybody's the same.
[02:46] ---
    Beauty exists only when some are favored.
[02:50] ---
    Without jealousy and hatred,
    how are they to know their own worth?
[02:56] ---
    And their worth is what makes plain
[03:00] ---
    the splendor of the one
    who granted it to them.
[03:04] ---
    Judging by your face, you don't understand.
[03:06] ---
    Do as you like.
[03:09] ---
    Come with me to Luna.
[03:14] ---
    We must acquire eternal life.
[03:18] ---
    I don't need it.
[03:20] ---
    Don't need it?
[03:21] ---
    What do you mean?
[03:23] ---
    The Ruin has begun for you as well.
[03:35] ---
    I guess you're not a kid anymore.
[03:38] ---
    That makes me kind of sad, I guess.
[03:44] ---
    That's fine. You'll feel differently soon.
[03:47] ---
    For we have to stop the Ruin.
[03:52] ---
    And I...
[03:55] ---
    "A Drop Called Eternity"
[04:07] ---
    I wondered why none had come to get me.
[04:13] ---
    Shall I perform the healing here?
[04:22] ---
    The healing will now only be
    performed for the chosen ones.
[04:27] ---
    I won't allow you to stop
    the Ruin on your own.
[04:31] ---
    Why?
[04:33] ---
    Because I said so.
[04:37] ---
    I suppose saving everyone is your destiny,
[04:43] ---
    but you're going to have to give it up.
[04:46] ---
    If you disobey...
[04:48] ---
    No, I care not.
[04:52] ---
    I merely eliminate the
    death in front of me.
[04:57] ---
    I see. That makes this easy.
[05:01] ---
    And?
[05:03] ---
    And...?
[05:06] ---
    Are you one of the chosen ones?
[05:15] ---
    Remember this: you're done playing queen.
[05:19] ---
    From now on, I will be the one
    giving the healing through you.
[05:37] ---
    If that is what you desire...
[05:50] ---
    You long for it, do you not?
[05:52] ---
    Overflowing life...
[05:59] ---
    Come.
[06:07] ---
    Luna...
[06:08] ---
    Give me your blood.
[06:31] ---
    The Ruin shall cease within me...
[06:49] ---
    I can no longer see death.
[07:36] ---
    He's still trying to heal.
[07:40] ---
    I doubt he'll ever recover
    perfectly though.
[07:44] ---
    He will.
[07:47] ---
    Recover, Casshern.
[07:49] ---
    And stand before me once again.
[07:53] ---
    If you don't, I...
[07:57] ---
    Recover, and fight me!
[08:06] ---
    We have to save him, right, Ohji?
[08:08] ---
    I told you he's fine!
[08:13] ---
    But he hurts, and suffers so much...
[08:16] ---
    He hurts so much...
[08:22] ---
    Ringo...
[08:24] ---
    Casshern...
[08:26] ---
    We'll save him. We will.
[08:56] ---
    No end to them.
[08:58] ---
    Yeah.
[09:02] ---
    That's why the one who
    made these graves ran.
[09:07] ---
    That's why I had to take his place.
[09:11] ---
    You could simply run.
[09:15] ---
    I can't.
[09:17] ---
    I'd feel like I was losing to the Ruin.
[09:27] ---
    But I don't think the guy who ran lost.
[09:32] ---
    We've each got different
    things to do in life, that's all.
[09:38] ---
    Things to do in life...
[09:41] ---
    Things to do?
[09:55] ---
    It stopped.
[09:56] ---
    The Ruin stopped.
[09:58] ---
    How beautiful!
[10:01] ---
    I hold the world in the palm of my hand.
[10:08] ---
    And I shall attain even greater heights!
[10:15] ---
    Eternal life...
[10:22] ---
    Dio! Dio, look!
[10:25] ---
    The Ruin stopped!
[10:27] ---
    My body feels like it used to.
    Like a feather!
[10:33] ---
    Hey, Dio, you must stop your Ruin as well.
[10:37] ---
    Then everything will change.
[10:39] ---
    You won't care about Casshern.
[10:42] ---
    Don't touch Casshern.
[10:45] ---
    He's in our way.
[10:47] ---
    No one but us may have perfect bodies.
[10:51] ---
    I'm sure if we destroyed
    his head, that'd do it.
[10:55] ---
    I will defeat Casshern.
[10:58] ---
    In the state he's in, you've
    basically already defeated him!
[11:02] ---
    You beat him!
[11:04] ---
    No, don't you dare try to decide that.
[11:07] ---
    Dio...
[11:09] ---
    My whole body feels
    like it's overflowing with life.
[11:14] ---
    Dio, you and I may be able to do
    what no robot ever achieved.
[11:21] ---
    Bring forth life!
[11:25] ---
    Leda... That's what you always wanted.
[11:31] ---
    Dio, we can be gods.
[11:35] ---
    My lone desire is to fight
    and defeat Casshern.
[11:41] ---
    Dio?
[11:43] ---
    I will leave the castle.
[11:45] ---
    What?
[11:47] ---
    You may fulfill your wish here.
[11:50] ---
    But I'm taking Casshern.
[11:57] ---
    And if I say I won't allow that?
[11:59] ---
    Everything that I don't
    control merely impedes me!
[12:06] ---
    Merely impedes me...
[12:10] ---
    So you're going to kill me?
[12:14] ---
    It's up to you whether you make me or not.
[12:22] ---
    How long have we been together?
[12:26] ---
    I never thought it would end in a battle.
[12:38] ---
    Why?
[12:40] ---
    I received the healing!
[12:42] ---
    Have her heal you again, then.
[12:46] ---
    As many times as you want.
[12:48] ---
    Dio, wait!
[13:16] ---
    Casshern?
[13:17] ---
    Why did Dio take Casshern?
[13:33] ---
    Luna, what is this?
[13:37] ---
    The Ruin stopped, yes?
[13:39] ---
    Yes, maybe it wasn't quite enough.
[13:43] ---
    But it has no effect on your eternal life.
[13:48] ---
    Don't worry.
[13:49] ---
    If I'm not perfect, there's no point.
[13:53] ---
    If I'm not beautiful...
[13:55] ---
    You are beautiful.
[14:04] ---
    You don't want to give your
    beauty to others, right?
[14:09] ---
    That's why you only gave
    me a little healing.
[14:17] ---
    You said there wasn't enough healing.
[14:20] ---
    Then I'll take more.
[14:22] ---
    More of your blood.
[14:25] ---
    I don't mind.
[14:28] ---
    But it's a bit painful.
[14:31] ---
    I can endure it.
[14:33] ---
    No matter what...
[15:00] ---
    I shall have it all.
[15:04] ---
    The world...
[15:06] ---
    Beauty...
[15:09] ---
    Life!
[15:36] ---
    Why?
[15:38] ---
    I didn't save you.
[15:40] ---
    This is so I can fight you without
    being interrupted by anybody.
[15:48] ---
    So make yourself whole once again!
[15:52] ---
    But I no longer...
[16:18] ---
    Endure!
[16:19] ---
    I've lived this far to fight you!
[16:25] ---
    I've survived this far...
[16:28] ---
    Now it's your turn!
[16:55] ---
    Perhaps I overhealed you a bit.
[17:00] ---
    But don't worry.
[17:15] ---
    Eternal life is beautiful.
[17:18] ---
    I can bring life to others.
[17:23] ---
    I won't kill them like in the past.
[17:35] ---
    How wonderful...
[18:57] ---
    Did the rain stop?
[19:03] ---
    Yes.
[19:06] ---
    Dio...
[19:11] ---
    If you have time to ask me
    questions, then heal yourself.
[19:15] ---
    Why do you obsess over this so much?
[19:17] ---
    There's no meaning in fighting me.
[19:20] ---
    There is. You just don't understand it.
[19:24] ---
    From the first time we fought, no,
[19:26] ---
    from the moment you existed in this world,
[19:29] ---
    you were always in front of me.
[19:38] ---
    However, the reason doesn't matter anymore.
[19:42] ---
    I want to fight you and defeat you.
[19:45] ---
    That's all.
[19:48] ---
    For that alone, I have lived
    through a world filled with Ruin.
[19:58] ---
    You still haven't been healed by Luna...
[20:05] ---
    Why?
[20:06] ---
    If I gain eternal life,
[20:10] ---
    this feeling of starvation will fade away.
[20:13] ---
    That's what I felt, and
    that's the only reason.
[20:16] ---
    If I can fight you, I don't
    care about the Ruin.
[20:20] ---
    Fight me. That is why I exist.
[20:25] ---
    You're like them...
[20:29] ---
    The robots and humans I've met.
[20:34] ---
    They lived...
[20:36] ---
    as hard as they could.
[20:38] ---
    Much more than those
    healed by Luna or myself...
[20:40] ---
    They lived so much more!
[20:46] ---
    You are the same.
[20:49] ---
    It's a mystery, as you're
    about to fall to Ruin...
[20:53] ---
    I don't understand.
[20:56] ---
    I don't know if I do either.
[20:59] ---
    I don't die, so I never will.
[21:02] ---
    To die, to live... That fear, that joy...
    I don't understand any of it!
[21:08] ---
    I never will!
[21:11] ---
    Casshern, if there is such a thing
    as joy in life, then you are mine!
[21:18] ---
    I am?
[21:21] ---
    Casshern, fight me!
[21:43] ---
    This is it!
[21:44] ---
    This feeling of something far
    beyond such a thing as eternal life...

[21:49] ---
    I can feel it. This is Dio's...
[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
[23:31] ---
    In the face of death, I first learn
    the meaning of having lived.

[23:37] ---
    Next time: "Those Who Return."
[23:40] ---
