*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] ---**
