Jin is a pretty charismatic robot, his words finally "touched" the hearts of his robot crew to prevent them from going after Casshern.
Even Gidou learnt from his mistakes.

Man, needs more Jin. >.>
Oh, and GAR Friender is GAR.


I'm watching you all. Always watching.

Yeah, Jin's pretty awesome for the small amount of time we see him.

And yeah, Friender is quite GAR.

Jins' pretty cool he protects huamsn and doens't afriad of anthgoin

And back when we first saw Friender in 2 wreaking havock with his metallic fangs (of steel) I was like "The wanna-be grim and grittier and DEEP, OH DEEP, THE EVOLUTIOONNNNRGHHHHHH latter Mega Man series could sure use a Rush like that".

Oh yeah, on the subject of "not affected by Ruin", Sophita didn't seem like she was any either. They don't have to explain that and I won't bother for the sake of dramatic convenience, but I want to see what are they going to pull off to explain Dio and Leda. Casshern Squad?

Yes. Casshern squad. In the episode where Dio appears fights with Casshern, he mentions that he has the same power as Casshern, but he can control it. Based on episode 10, in which Leda fights with that guy(Luna's ex-bodyguard), you can quite easily see that she too has powers like Casshern and Dio.

Edit~: Oh, and one can assume that Jin, Casshern, Dio, Friender, Leda, etc. are all the same. They're all... Whatever they are, and aren't affected by the Ruin. [/speculation]

Didnt they explain it? I remember it from SOMEWHERE.
[spoiler]that Braiking Boss had his squad of special warriors, which included Dio, Leda and Casshern, although Casshern was always the best of all of them. twould definetly explain the massive inferiority complex Dio has. Xbox heuge ego + not being the #1, = RRRGHHH HOW DAARRRE YOU CONFUSE ME WITH CASSHERRNNN!!![/spoiler]

also,





catch the reference with the Gundam bit, get a cookie.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Flame: I read your post as far as you-know-who being part of Braiking's squad. The rest, as far as I know, wasn't put up at the time I checked Wikis and ANN just to know HOW MANY EPISODES THIS WOULD BE (at the time there was only the FIRST episode at that). I myself consider whatever not stated in the show so far a spoiler, no matter if given through official means, so I figure that maybe a spoiler tag for that is in order.

IIRC the info was added around the time the second episode came out, so it's been known for a long time already =/

As I said, if you go adamant on spoilers. I saw these accidentally and from ever since refrained from reading anything on the series because they might spill the beans on stuff that wasn't exactly portrayed onscreen yet. Like Luna's status.

So... Dio has a white bob cut. somehow, I REALLY didnt expect it.
also, yeah. poor margo. though... how did he manage to paint buildings before casshern arrived? i mean, he doesnt have legs, so he cant climb a building...

Watched all 12 episodes today. This anime is great, especially Friender.
Just saw episode 12.

It was a pretty good one. I feel sorry for Margo though...
I feel even sorrier for Nico...

His hair looks like Yazoo from Final Fantasy.

Yknow what, IT DOES. and upon further seeing it, its not a bob cut. but now, an even better question. how the F*ck does all his hair fit inside those cramped helmets him and Casshern wear.
like, where does Cassherns helmet go when its not on him.
but I digress.
episode 13.
wow. just wow. Braiking boss finally gets his good screentime, and poor Casshern... Im really feeling sorry for him. so he IS a robot after all... well... more of a homunculus/artificial life form actually... hes basically a flesh and blood being.

HUH?! Now I seriously need to finish watching episode 12 so I can get to this.


Posted on: December 27, 2008, 10:25:31 PM
Yay for new ending! I guess that means season 1 is over.

This is now my favorite episode, although the revelation that [spoiler]Casshern, Dio, and Leda were created for the purpose of being able to [tornado fang] each other and have children[/spoiler] was kinda weird for me, completely not what I was expecting.

However, this episode made me create my own crazy theories =P

I am just wondering if Ringo is the same as Casshern or Dio since she is bleeding.

My crazy theory is that Ringo is somehow Luna, but thinking better about it, I think it's safer to assume that Ringo was a success unlike Casshern and the others.

Ringo is rusting, so I wouldn't really call her a success. Since Casshern is the only one with immortality, it shows that everyone, including Leda, Dio, and Friender, is going to rust eventually. Cashern could have been rusting to, but something with Luna (I am willing to bet Ringo has something to do with Luna) made him immune to Ruin.

Seeing how Casshern somehow stole Luna's inmortality, it wouldn't surprised if because of that Casshern is now both Casshern AND Luna, so pretty much he would be looking for himself or something.

Its amazing how Casshern and Oji seem to find each other in the same places. though now we know why it always seemed that he knew more about casshern than he let on... he MADE him...

Hello everyone. I'm new in this thread, and plan on getting the series as soon as someone gets of their goddamn ass and releases a packed torrent. Please enlighten me if you see such release. Thank you very much.


Love, DZ.
