[00:11] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[00:15] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[00:19] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand
[00:24] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back
[00:37] ---
    I try to escape this harrowing reality
[00:41] ---
    Everything I hoped for in my life
    turned out to be an illusion
[00:48] ---
    A flood of emotions,
    struggles that lead me astray...
[00:52] ---
    I just want to cling onto them
    and move forward, forward!
[00:55] ---
    On these shattered hills,
    under a sky of rust,
[00:59] ---
    you and I are fraught with
    life like azure flowers
[01:04] ---
    We dream that we're bubbles,
    nestled together,
[01:08] ---
    and yet I'm not ready to wither yet!
[01:12] ---
    Hey, for what reason were we born?
[01:16] ---
    Hey, for what reason did our lives cross?
[01:20] ---
    I'm scared because I don't know,
    so I take your hand
[01:25] ---
    Right now, I want you to
    firmly squeeze mine back
[01:54] ---
    So, anyone else want to
    take on me, Sophita?
[01:58] ---
    Come on, let's fight!
[02:03] ---
    Fight, fight!
[02:05] ---
    Who's kind enough to fight against me?
[02:08] ---
    Look out, it's the Angel of Ruin!
[02:10] ---
    Sophita's here!
[02:15] ---
    So you don't want to fight
    against me after all?
[02:21] ---
    I don't wanna die!
[02:23] ---
    So, there's no convincing you?
[02:32] ---
    Your love of battle is troubling, Sophita.
[02:37] ---
    Or rather, the "Angel of Ruin."
[02:40] ---
    I hate that nickname.
[02:43] ---
    All I want is to fight.
[02:49] ---
    Why are you so obsessed with fighting?
[02:51] ---
    Rush all you want, but the
    Ruin will catch up to you.
[02:55] ---
    I... just love to fight.
[02:59] ---
    In a different time and place,
    you'd have become a famous warrior.
[03:04] ---
    In the same way I did when I
    defended the great Braiking Boss,
[03:06] ---
    and my name spread throughout the land.
[03:10] ---
    But, you can't fight with your
    arm like that now, can you?
[03:13] ---
    The Ruin's begun to consume you.
[03:20] ---
    You bitch!
[03:21] ---
    Don't insult our boss!
[03:31] ---
    Back off.
[03:32] ---
    You don't stand a chance against her.
[03:38] ---
    One of these days, I'll get a perfect arm,
[03:41] ---
    and with it, I'll slice you to bits.
[03:44] ---
    Look forward to it.
[03:52] ---
    "The Angel of Ruin"
[04:01] ---
    Who am I?
[04:04] ---
    I bring nothing but Ruin. Who am I?
[04:09] ---
    I'm the man who killed the Sun named Moon.
[04:13] ---
    Is there a reason for me to go on living?
[04:18] ---
    Do we need a reason to live or fight?
[04:26] ---
    What a beautiful body.
[04:28] ---
    You're brand new, not a scratch on you.
[04:35] ---
    Say, Mister,
[04:37] ---
    care to fight me?
[04:48] ---
    Is there no way to convince you?
[04:52] ---
    You absolutely refuse to fight me?
[04:55] ---
    Sorry.
[05:01] ---
    Why?
[05:02] ---
    Mister, you look so beautiful and strong!
[05:09] ---
    I'm not strong. It's
    just that I cannot die.
[05:18] ---
    Wonderful.
[05:20] ---
    If you can't die, then you
    can keep fighting forever.
[05:24] ---
    What's so wonderful about that?
[05:27] ---
    It's wonderful.
[05:29] ---
    Fighting lets you know you're alive.
[05:36] ---
    My heart only pounds when I'm in battle.
[05:39] ---
    It lets me feel that I'm alive!
[05:44] ---
    An outsider?
[05:46] ---
    Splendid!
[05:47] ---
    We're taking your legs!
[05:49] ---
    I don't want to fight.
[05:51] ---
    You heard the man. Hands off!
[05:57] ---
    This man belongs to me, Sophita.
[06:00] ---
    Oh, the Angel of Ruin, huh?
[06:03] ---
    Get her!
[06:11] ---
    Run!
[06:30] ---
    Incredible!
[06:32] ---
    I knew it. You were born to fight.
[06:37] ---
    Don't get involved with me!
[06:51] ---
    Why not?
[06:54] ---
    Fate has finally brought us together...
[07:00] ---
    Why? Why is conflict the only
    thing that thrives in this land?
[07:05] ---
    Why can't I avoid it?
[07:24] ---
    I told you not to get involved with me.
[07:30] ---
    I'm afraid I can't do that.
[07:32] ---
    I cannot part ways until we fight.
[07:36] ---
    Fight me.
[07:45] ---
    Don't look at me like that.
[07:48] ---
    I don't want to fight anyone.
[07:51] ---
    I don't want to cause
    anyone else to be destroyed.
[07:56] ---
    Do you hate it?
[08:00] ---
    Do you hate fighting?
[08:04] ---
    Does anyone enjoy fighting?
[08:08] ---
    I do.
[08:10] ---
    I feel a warmth in my chest when I fight.
[08:15] ---
    That's why I love it.
[08:23] ---
    Then consider that an
    irreconcilable difference between us.
[08:30] ---
    I'd even give up this body of mine,
[08:33] ---
    in order to never fight again.
[08:47] ---
    What should I do?
[08:49] ---
    He doesn't like me.
[08:52] ---
    This is why I hate words.
[08:55] ---
    They never express how I feel.
[09:17] ---
    Sophita, I'll fulfill
    your desire to fight me.
[09:21] ---
    Very well.
[09:23] ---
    I'd rather fight you guys
    than fight nobody at all.
[09:35] ---
    The truth is that I don't
    want you all to be destroyed,
[09:39] ---
    but the man who I really
    wish to fight refuses my offer.
[09:44] ---
    So forgive me, okay?
[10:05] ---
    You're as skilled as ever, I see.
[10:08] ---
    Do you plan to fight me, too?
[10:12] ---
    Will that satisfy you?
[10:15] ---
    You know, I doubt I'll feel the
    warmth by fighting against you.
[10:19] ---
    You won't know until you try.
[10:27] ---
    You are the Angel of Ruin.
[10:29] ---
    You cannot rest until those who stand
    before you have been destroyed.
[10:33] ---
    Isn't that right, Sophita?
[10:37] ---
    Fighting keeps you on edge...
[10:41] ---
    and gives you passion.
[10:48] ---
    You feel the delight of
    life through battle.
[10:53] ---
    That's the kind of woman you are!
[10:56] ---
    Bring it!
[11:01] ---
    So strong!
[11:19] ---
    I'll be lighter on my feet now.
[11:32] ---
    You're the one who'll succumb to Ruin!
[11:50] ---
    Why did you do that?
[11:52] ---
    Your arm!
[11:53] ---
    It's nothing.
[11:56] ---
    Regrettably.
[12:04] ---
    I expected nothing less from the man
    who killed the Sun named Moon.
[12:14] ---
    Why did you attack her?
[12:16] ---
    Is it because you enjoy fighting?
[12:20] ---
    What a naive question.
[12:23] ---
    It's not her specifically,
[12:25] ---
    nor a like or dislike of fighting
    that I'd put my body at such risk.
[12:30] ---
    Then why?
[12:34] ---
    My life.
[12:36] ---
    If I devour you, I'll attain eternal life.
[12:40] ---
    I was using her as bait
    to lure you out here.
[12:46] ---
    So you want to extend your life, too?
[12:49] ---
    I told you that already!
[12:50] ---
    That one day, I'll regain my
    strength and rip you to bits!
[12:56] ---
    You went off the tracks
    somewhere, didn't you?
[12:58] ---
    Every bit of you.
[13:00] ---
    In this world, nothing is born
    and nothing can be born.
[13:03] ---
    All we can do is try to go on living.
[13:09] ---
    In that case, leave!
[13:11] ---
    Or else, the both of you
    will end up six feet under.
[13:15] ---
    The Ruin will claim my life soon.
[13:18] ---
    I'm not going to waste my
    last days in battle with you.
[13:33] ---
    Are you sad...
[13:34] ---
    to be living in such a world?
[13:41] ---
    You know, the robot mechanic in town...
[13:43] ---
    has healthy robots get smashed up,
    in order to make a living.
[13:47] ---
    That way, he collects
    money for the repairs.
[13:50] ---
    I used to do the same thing.
[13:54] ---
    But then I had a revelation...
[13:56] ---
    If I'm going to rip someone to pieces
    anyway, why shouldn't I enjoy doing it?
[14:00] ---
    If both parties enjoy the thrill of
    the fight as we hurt one another,
[14:04] ---
    then that's not so bad.
[14:06] ---
    Even so, fighting isn't
    meant to be enjoyed.
[14:10] ---
    In time, I learned to enjoy it.
[14:16] ---
    If the Ruin's going to claim me anyway,
    I want to be happy when it does.
[14:20] ---
    My wish is to fall to Ruin with my
    heart pounding and full of passion.
[14:42] ---
    What's wrong? Are you in pain?
[14:50] ---
    Your wound...
[14:52] ---
    That always happens.
[14:54] ---
    No matter how bad it is,
    the wound quickly heals.
[14:57] ---
    You're really strong, Mister.
[15:01] ---
    But that means you really can't die.
[15:09] ---
    How sad.
[15:13] ---
    Let's call it a night.
[15:40] ---
    I love you, Mister.
[15:55] ---
    Fight me.
[15:56] ---
    It's the only way I can
    show you how I feel.
[16:02] ---
    How you feel?
[16:11] ---
    Yes. My love for you.
[16:13] ---
    Don't do it.
[16:15] ---
    Here I come!
[16:23] ---
    Stop!
[16:24] ---
    I won't stop! I love you too much!
[16:40] ---
    I love you,
[16:43] ---
    so I'll destroy you.
[16:48] ---
    Stop! Please stop this!
[16:51] ---
    I won't stop!
[16:53] ---
    I pity you too much!
[16:58] ---
    And that's why I'll destroy you!
[17:11] ---
    I'm begging you, please stop.
[17:13] ---
    If you don't, I'll kill you.
[17:17] ---
    I'll be fine. I'm strong.
[17:31] ---
    I've destroyed countless men along the way,
[17:35] ---
    so I'll do the same for you!
[17:39] ---
    Because that's what you truly desire.
[17:58] ---
    Isn't that nice?
[18:01] ---
    You can finally fall to Ruin.
[18:19] ---
    Isn't that better now?
[18:23] ---
    Huh? What?
[18:30] ---
    Why?
[18:32] ---
    I granted you your wish, and yet... Why?
[18:37] ---
    I'm glad.
[18:40] ---
    I didn't have to hurt you.
[18:43] ---
    I'm glad I stayed who I am.
[18:49] ---
    The fact that I didn't hurt you...
[18:52] ---
    must mean you never intended to kill me.
[19:14] ---
    Mister...
[19:18] ---
    Don't die.
[19:29] ---
    I felt no warmth.
[19:35] ---
    My heart wasn't pounding
    when I was fighting you.
[19:46] ---
    I've never gotten close to
    someone except with my saber.
[19:52] ---
    Using my saber was the only
    way I could convey how I feel.
[19:59] ---
    You say that, but I felt them.
[20:03] ---
    Your feelings...
[20:08] ---
    You were trying to save me.
[20:14] ---
    You were trying to save me while we fought.
[20:22] ---
    Tell me.
[20:26] ---
    Tell me your name.
[20:30] ---
    My name?
[20:32] ---
    I never ask my opponents their names,
[20:36] ---
    but I don't want to fight you anymore.
[20:41] ---
    So please, tell me your name.
[20:47] ---
    Casshern.
[20:50] ---
    Casshern...
[20:52] ---
    It's a beautiful name.
[20:57] ---
    I'm leaving now.
[21:02] ---
    That way we won't have to fight again.
[21:09] ---
    And don't be sad that you can't die.
[21:14] ---
    Look forward to the fact that you'll keep
    living so we can meet again someday.
[21:18] ---
    All right.
[21:20] ---
    Farewell, Casshern.
[21:47] ---
    In a world ravaged by the Ruin,
[21:50] ---
    I found one life which refuses
    to go gentle into that good night.
[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
[23:30] ---
    She says to me,
[23:31] ---
    "You are the man who brought
    the Ruin upon the world."
[23:36] ---
    Next time: "The Man who
    Killed the Sun Named Moon."
[23:40] ---
