[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

[02:39] ---
    Goodbye!
[02:47] ---
    Who cares about Luna?
[02:49] ---
    We believe in Dio, not some woman...
[02:54] ---
    whom nobody can even find...
[03:01] ---
    Just because you joined an army
    doesn't mean you'll survive!
[03:05] ---
    Luna is more...
[03:08] ---
    Devour Casshern!
[03:11] ---
    Devour Casshern and you'll become immortal!
[03:17] ---
    Stop it!
[03:19] ---
    Everybody, get him!
[03:34] ---
    Devour Casshern!
[03:39] ---
    "The Flower That Blooms
    in the Valley of Ruin"
[03:52] ---
    Where am I?
[04:18] ---
    Who put these flowers here?
[04:36] ---
    Damn it!
[04:38] ---
    Why did this happen to me?
[04:41] ---
    I'm not gonna die!
[04:43] ---
    I'm going to join the army!
[04:45] ---
    I'm going to survive!
[04:52] ---
    I refuse to rot away in
    here like these guys!
[05:23] ---
    Who the hell are you?
[05:31] ---
    Is this kid making fun of me?!
[05:42] ---
    Here you go. A flower.
[05:45] ---
    A flower!
[05:49] ---
    I don't need no stinking flower!
[05:52] ---
    You're bothering me!
[05:54] ---
    Get out of here!
[06:15] ---
    Here you go. Eat up.
[06:20] ---
    What are you doing here?
[06:43] ---
    Is she human?
[06:45] ---
    No, a robot!
[06:50] ---
    Oh, no!
[06:53] ---
    Your leg is hurt!
[06:59] ---
    It's fine. I'm fine.
[07:03] ---
    No, I heal.
[07:06] ---
    So I don't need you to treat me.
[07:10] ---
    But...
[07:12] ---
    I can't leave it!
[07:20] ---
    It's okay!
[07:22] ---
    It doesn't hurt.
[07:25] ---
    Ow...
[07:56] ---
    This'll do it!
[08:05] ---
    What are you doing?
[08:07] ---
    Wrapping bandages around it won't help!
[08:10] ---
    And I need an arm, not a leg!
[08:15] ---
    Weird girl...
[08:16] ---
    Geez!
[08:22] ---
    Why is she doing that?
[08:26] ---
    She treated my leg, and that robot, too.
[08:33] ---
    Why is that?
[08:34] ---
    The circuits in her head are fried.
[08:41] ---
    Casshern!
[08:43] ---
    What are you doing here?
[08:46] ---
    I tried to stop the robots from
    knocking their companion over a cliff...
[08:52] ---
    Over a cliff?
[08:55] ---
    The rumors were true then.
[08:58] ---
    Rumors?
[08:59] ---
    This place has been called the
    robot graveyard for many years.
[09:05] ---
    The robots who were killed by the
    Ruin were taken here and abandoned.
[09:12] ---
    I heard that some were thrown in
    alive, so I came to see for myself.
[09:18] ---
    Then that girl, too...
[09:21] ---
    I don't know if she was abandoned,
[09:24] ---
    but she's been here a long time.
[09:28] ---
    From the moment I laid eyes on her,
    she was always a weird girl.
[09:32] ---
    Stop it!
[09:35] ---
    None of that stuff is gonna heal my arm!
[09:43] ---
    Oh, no!
[09:50] ---
    Are you all right? Are you okay?
[09:53] ---
    Okay...
[09:55] ---
    It's fine.
[09:57] ---
    Okay?
[09:59] ---
    You all right?
[10:05] ---
    I'm glad.
[10:07] ---
    You're not hurt.
[10:09] ---
    She's been doing the same thing for years.
[10:13] ---
    Treating that doll for years and years.
[10:17] ---
    The poor thing.
[10:20] ---
    But she seems kind of happy.
[10:25] ---
    The same thing for years?
[10:30] ---
    This is... because of the Ruin.
[11:12] ---
    Those flowers are pretty!
[11:18] ---
    Do you grow them?
[11:20] ---
    Yeah.
[11:22] ---
    To give them to everybody?
[11:24] ---
    Yeah!
[11:33] ---
    What a pretty flower!
[11:35] ---
    Thank you!
[11:41] ---
    It's done!
[11:43] ---
    Okay! Here you go!
[12:06] ---
    You again?
[12:09] ---
    Enough al...
[12:14] ---
    Whatever.
[12:20] ---
    It looks great, she says!
[12:22] ---
    She says you look like a king!
[12:24] ---
    Little brats...
[12:51] ---
    Casshern, look!
[12:54] ---
    See!
[12:55] ---
    Niko, too!
[12:57] ---
    The flowers on her head...
    They're like a crown!
[13:03] ---
    So, she's a princess!
[13:07] ---
    No!
[13:10] ---
    She's not?
[13:14] ---
    She's more important?
[13:19] ---
    Then maybe she's a queen...
[13:24] ---
    Miss!
[13:26] ---
    What are you doing here?
[13:35] ---
    Niko, why are you here?
[13:45] ---
    Here you go!
[13:49] ---
    Thank you.
[13:50] ---
    Do you know that girl?
[13:57] ---
    Niko...
[13:59] ---
    The robot that cared for Luna.
[14:02] ---
    Luna?
[14:05] ---
    Were you abandoned here?
[14:07] ---
    No way... Have you been here
    ever since Luna was killed?
[14:14] ---
    Hey, stop smiling and answer me!
[14:26] ---
    Lyuze, it's no good.
[14:28] ---
    The circuits in her head are...
[14:35] ---
    Let's go see the flowers.
[14:40] ---
    Niko was near Luna when it happened.
[14:45] ---
    Just like my sister.
[14:49] ---
    This happened because you killed Luna!
[14:54] ---
    Killed Luna?
[14:57] ---
    When?
[14:58] ---
    A long time ago.
[15:01] ---
    The Ruin started when she died.
[15:04] ---
    Th-Then that rumor was a lie?
[15:10] ---
    That there exists a girl
    named Luna somewhere...
[15:13] ---
    who was granting life to
    both humans and robots...
[15:19] ---
    That's impossible!
[15:21] ---
    Luna can't be alive.
[15:24] ---
    There are a lot of people who believe it.
[15:28] ---
    Among many of my companions, too...
[15:31] ---
    They probably wanted to believe that,
    because the Ruin had spread...
[15:34] ---
    and they had little time left.
[15:38] ---
    After all, they said that if you
    found Luna, she would stop the Ruin.
[15:44] ---
    But you know,
[15:46] ---
    don't you think it makes more
    sense to join the army Dio made...
[15:49] ---
    instead of looking for a girl
    that nobody knows where she is?
[15:53] ---
    Right?
[15:55] ---
    But...
[15:57] ---
    Damn it! I'm going to die here!
[16:02] ---
    Look!
[16:04] ---
    Look at me!
[16:06] ---
    I can barely move!
[16:09] ---
    I'm like a damn turtle!
[16:11] ---
    Silly, huh? Hilarious, ain't it?
[16:14] ---
    Laugh if you want!
[16:16] ---
    I sure as hell can't do anything now.
[16:18] ---
    Maybe it's better if I
    do fall to Ruin here!
[16:21] ---
    Huh?!
[16:58] ---
    There's a kid still alive down here!
[17:02] ---
    Stupid brat!
[17:08] ---
    Damn it! What the hell?!
[17:12] ---
    Damn, you can die, too!
[17:17] ---
    Are you Casshern?!
[17:41] ---
    Niko...
[17:43] ---
    Oh, no!
    What's wrong?
[17:50] ---
    Niko, where are you going?!
[17:57] ---
    Casshern... Casshern...
    Kill him... Devour him...
[18:05] ---
    It's okay.
[18:07] ---
    There's nothing to be afraid of.
[18:10] ---
    So don't cry.
[18:16] ---
    There's nothing to be afraid of.
[18:17] ---
    I'll always be here.
[18:28] ---
    No!
[18:30] ---
    What is she doing?
[18:36] ---
    Out of the way!
[18:37] ---
    Try to stop us and you'll get hurt!
[18:40] ---
    Do you have a death wish?!
[18:42] ---
    Damn it...
[18:47] ---
    Niko!
[18:59] ---
    Niko...
[19:07] ---
    You're not dead yet?
[19:09] ---
    Luna... Luna... Luna...
[19:16] ---
    Geez, stupid kid...
[19:19] ---
    Don't get in my way!
[19:21] ---
    Niko, get back...
[19:25] ---
    Die!
[19:27] ---
    This ends here!
[19:32] ---
    Th-This is it!
[19:35] ---
    Let me go!
[19:44] ---
    Luna. Luna...
[19:50] ---
    She's still crying over the doll.
[19:56] ---
    I'll take you to Luna.
[20:01] ---
    Luna...
[20:03] ---
    I'll let you see her.
[20:07] ---
    The real Luna.
[20:19] ---
    Your bandage is coming off.
[20:22] ---
    I have to fix it...
[20:25] ---
    I have to fix your bandage...
[20:30] ---
    I... have... to... fix...
[20:42] ---
    Niko...
[21:00] ---
    I can't leave here.
[21:03] ---
    I'll wait for you to bring Luna here.
[21:09] ---
    What's your name?
[21:11] ---
    Bolton.
[21:13] ---
    Okay.
[21:14] ---
    I promise you, Bolton.
[21:16] ---
    I'll bring her here.
[21:23] ---
    If it's my fault the Ruin
    is destroying the world,

[21:27] ---
    then I have a responsibility to stop it.
[21:31] ---
    And if I find Luna, I
    may be able to do that.

[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's a man who protected
    the same person for many years,

[23:34] ---
    all the while seeking the Sun.
[23:38] ---
    Next time: "The Man Entrapped by the Past."
[23:40] ---
