Casshern is a humanoid robot who finds himself in a decaying, desolate world. A plague known as Ruin kills humans and robots alike, and apparently Casshern is responsible for having slain their guardian entity Luna, the only one who could have healed the world. Unfortunately, he isn't sure how much of this is true, since he has amnesia. All he knows is that he is built for combat, immune to the Ruin, and able to regenerate any damage — and that rumor has it if a robot devours Casshern then they will live forever.A Darker and Edgier Continuity Reboot of the post-apocalyptic 1970s anime Neo Human Casshern, the 2009 Madhouse anime Casshern Sins focuses on the sudden appearance of death among robots who once thought themselves immortal.Produced in 2008, the series made its US television debut on Toonami beginning on May 26, 2012 (though it aired a year before that on the Funimation Channel). Is also available (in some countries) on Youtube. | |

Trailers Always Spoil: The dub version's tagline spoils the entire theme of death being preferable to immortality. It's part of the title graphic as well, so you get reminded once an episode that the Ruin is actually the robots' salvation. | |

Darker and Edgier An impressive feat, given that the original Neo Human Casshern was already set in a postapocalyptic world with an army of robots/cyborgs hellbent on wiping out humanity. (It's still more upbeat than the Live-Action Adaptation, though). | |

| Casshern Sins / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: Inverted. Casshern's two premanent companions Friender and Lyzue originally wanted to kill him. He allowed the first to bite off a piece of his collar and the second to slash his chest several times. After that they were friendly, or in the latter's case, less hostile. | |

| Casshern Sins / int_1beef720 | comment |
Living Forever Is Awesome: All of the robots that want to eat Casshern are this trope. They're pissed because they were enjoying immortality and now they can't because of the Ruin. The other robots follow rumors of Luna's revival in the hopes that she can make them live forever too. Luna herself enjoys eternity and is determined to make every robot in her presence share in it if they want. | |

Artificial Human: All of the robots have emotions, can feel empathy and can learn. A few of them look completely mechanical and more like traditional robots, but there are many who can't be told apart from humans. Casshern, Dio, Leda and Ringo are, technically, not even robots anymore. Luna might also count. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Casshern Sins / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Imagine that you're a near-human robot with type II immorality. Now imagine waking up one morning and learning that the immortality of your entire race has been not only stripped from you but that you're guaranteed to die a shocking, horrific death as you slowly rust away into nothing. Now consider the fact that you're nearly as likely to fall into the despair event horizon and commit suicide before then or find yourself getting torn to pieces by half-insane robots who want to use you for spare parts. Sure, there is some small glimmer of hope here and there but this includes either devouring perhaps the only true immortal left who eventually accepts his position as the avatar of death or walking the span of the globe in hopes of meeting a healer who is probably dead. Though depending on your take on the ending (see below), it eventually becomes a A World Half Full. | |

Walking the Earth: Casshern and most of the main characters spend the vast majority of the series traveling. They seek Luna or some other purpose in the dead world. This is also what Casshern decides at the ending, promising to travel the world forever in order to become death for those who don't know of it (mainly Luna’s immortals). To quote his parting words: | |

Barrier Maiden: Luna, and also a combination of Fisher King (well, queen) and Cosmic Keystone.

Blessed with Suck | |
| Casshern Sins / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: Casshern's immortality can really come in handy, but he also hates it for varying reasons through the course of the story, the worst one probably being that he outlives Lyuze. Luna's actual, pre-death power also counts. Her powers of death allowed her to grant mortality to robots and immortal humans, but the experience was apparently so traumatic that after her resurrection she became hellbent on creating a world of eternal life so she wouldn't have to deal with death ever again. | |

Superpowered Evil Side: We're not quite sure what Casshern's snapping exactly is, but whatever it is, it leaves nothing but complete devastation in its wake. This is quite tragic for Casshern himself, who personally seems to have very little awareness once it starts - he basically comes back around to see that everything he was getting friendly with has been torn into shreds and to wonder why his hands are soaked in oil. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Casshern Sins / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Besides nearly everyone falling to Ruin and Casshern becoming death itself there seemed to be a strong possibility of Ringo and Casshern possibly repopulating the earth since both were made and heavily implied to be capable of creating life. They both could potentially start a new race of very healthy human/robots and it would fit with the epilogue showing Ringo and Friender surrounded by flowers while she is at a very fertile age Casshern does say he will take on the role of death, but wasn't the whole lesson of the series was to show what would life be without death? | |

Downer Ending | |
| Casshern Sins / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: It depends on your take on the whole ending whether this trope applies or Bittersweet Ending is more appropriate. On one hand, Lyuze and Ohji die from the Ruin, Luna is still granting salvation to whoever wants it, Casshern is once again wandering the Crapsack World alone, still cursed with immortality and Ringo grew up with only Friender to keep her company. On the other hand, while Luna grants life to those who want it, Casshern has decided to become death itself to remind the immortals that merely being alive and actually living are two very different things. It's also implied that Ringo has healed from the Ruin by herself, and will have a moderate lifespan (neither immortal, nor dying from the Ruin), thus giving hope that the world can return to the balance of life and death, which along with the flowers seen on various spots through the world, and particularly those grown by the main cast, grants a way for the planet, and life on it, to be returned to peace. | |

Mechanical Lifeforms: Robots became Ridiculously Human Robots, but they still couldn't breed (meaning that newer robots had to be built, either by humans or other robots) nor grow (so if a robot is created as a child or baby, they remain so forever). For this reason Braiking Boss asked Ohji to create robots that could actually function as an actual species and thus, Casshern, Dio and Leda where created, being heavily implied that Ringo is actually Dio and Leda's child. | |

| Casshern Sins / int_715704e5 | comment |
Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: The reasons behind Luna's assassination, her true purpose, the origin of the Ruin, Casshern’s immortality and pretty much anything else that happened before the beginning of the story is revealed very little by little, forcing the viewer to pay attention through the whole series and fit the pieces together, with some elements even being only implied and never outright stated as such. In fact, a second viewing is almost guaranteed to grant newer insight into the plot as a whole, since random elements that appeared unimportant upon first watching will suddenly gain a new meaning. | |

Left Hanging | |
| Casshern Sins / int_80b5924 | comment |
Left Hanging: Leda’s past, her connection to the lab where Luna was created and whatever happened to her while she was pregnant, as well as the fate of her unborn child are never explained, aside from it all having been fairly traumatic. It’s very heavily implied that Ringo is actually her child, but how exactly did she end up where Ohji later found her, is also for the viewer to imagine. Then there's the Prism from episode 18. All we are ever told by Ohji is that it has Luna's nanocells and he needs to study it. It's never seen again and we have no idea what happened to it. | |

| Casshern Sins / int_82b64343 | comment |
Twisted Eucharist: Casshern spends most of the series being chased by desperate robots seeking to kill him and eat his flesh to gain eternal life. Luna grants eternal life to those who seek her by letting them drink her blood, but gaining eternal life makes them listless until Casshern decides to become death itself to remind them that they can die.. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Casshern Sins / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: What happened to Bolton, the injured robot Casshern left behind with the promise that he would get Luna to heal him? We never hear of him again. And for that matter, whatever happened to every single character, human or robot, that Casshern meet through the first half of the series and wasn’t dead by the end of its episode or didn’t fulfill their goal? Does Sophita ever meet Casshern again as she promised? Is Janice still bringing hope to humans and robots through her songs? Do Jin and his group ever find Luna? Does Toro ever get to repair Gido? We will never know. And while they aren't the focus of the story, all of humanity could be included here as well, since after they get to Luna, no human appears ever again on the story, and the fate of humanity by the ending is anyone's guess. | |

| Casshern Sins / int_8bc5b86e | comment |
One-Shot Character: Since he’s Walking the Earth, Casshern seems to meet at least one of these (sometimes several, though the main focus is still only on one of them) on almost every single episode for more than half of the series. They will usually teach him an important lesson about living your life to its fullest. The worst part of this is that at least half of them should have been seen again (see, What Happened to the Mouse?). | |

Killing for a Tissue Sample | |
| Casshern Sins / int_927ac006 | comment |
Killing for a Tissue Sample: Casshern is immune to the Ruin that affects every other robot, and consequently there is a rumor that eating him will grant eternal life. This is hinted at being true since Friender, a robot dog that took a chunk out of him, shows no sign of Ruin years later, but no one asks to slice off a chunk of his regenerating body, they just charge into battle and die. | |

Lyuze eventually tells Casshern that he's not allowed to die until she kills him and gets revenge for her sister. Though eventually, she refuses to let him die so that he can find a way to save the world instead. | |

Made of Iron: Thanks to the Ruin, the robots that once would have probably (literally) counted as this are much more brittle, though some of the main cast is still able to take a lot of punishment. However, the most notable straight example is probably Lizabel, a one shot character who by the end of her episode, has survived a fall off a very, very tall tower, slamming into several massive steel girders on the way down, to then having a frickin massive bell fall from the same height to land right on top of her with enough force to crater the ground... and she's absolutely fine when Casshern and Friender roll the bell off of her. | |

What You Are in the Dark: One of the major themes of the series. Once-immortal robots now have to deal with the prospect of inevitable yet unpredictable Ruin. What do they do about it? Some sit and wait for the end. Some stake everything on rumors of immortality in a desperate attack against an immortal robotic killing machine. As the series reveals, still others cross the wasteland in search of salvation in the form of the reborn Luna. And some just try to find purpose or meaning in their actions before their Ruin, despite the hatred of those who surrendered to nihilism and despair. | |

No Antagonist: Apart from loads and loads of Mooks, all of the main characters are sympathetic to at least some degree. Dio and Leda are the closest thing to Big Bads, but their ambitions are rather petty to consider them as truly evil. | |

No Immortal Inertia | |
| Casshern Sins / int_e16d7741 | comment |
No Immortal Inertia: While the Ruin moves much slower than how this trope is usually applied, it can still be shown to affect robots much faster than rust would affect machinery in real life. At one point a robot strong enough to choke the life out of another is suddenly blown away by a strong wind. Suffice to say, the Ruin moves at the speed of plot. | |

Ridiculously Human Robots | |
| Casshern Sins / int_e4900915 | comment |
Ridiculously Human Robots: Many robots look so close to human that it is difficult to tell them apart. It is implied that Leda, Dio and Casshern are even capable of breeding. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever? | |
| Casshern Sins / int_ea39d156 | comment |
Who Wants to Live Forever?: After realizing how the robots saved by Luna become completely devoid of a purpose in life once she grants them immortality, Lyuze, Ringo and eventually Ohji decide they would rather die from the Ruin, but with their feelings and personalities intact. The first one to accept his death, rather than become immortal was Dune. Dio, and eventually, Leda, also count, both deciding to die from the Ruin in the end. Same thing with Braiking Boss, who despite bringing plenty of robots to drink Luna's blood to be saved from the Ruin, decides not to do it himself and dies fighting Casshern, as a way to repent for his role in the current state of the world. Originally, Luna granted both immortal humans and robots alike the gift of a natural death, until Braiking Boss sent Casshern to kill her. | |

How the Mighty Have Fallen | |
| Casshern Sins / int_f933e594 | comment |
How the Mighty Have Fallen: Braiking Boss. Once the leader of the robot army that conquered the world, now just another robot Walking the Earth and slowly succumbing to the Ruin just like everyone else. For added irony, he was the one that ordered Luna's death to begin with, making his eventual fate his own fault. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished | |
| Casshern Sins / int_fe614133 | comment |
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Through the whole show, we see that the effects of the Ruin on robots aren't pretty, with most of them rusting and falling apart slowly till they die. However, in Lyuze's case, she only gets a little rust on a few parts of her body (which are not immediately visible) and dies in Casshern's arms with her body pretty much intact. Appears in-story as well: Leda's ultimate goal for seeking eternal life is to ensure her beauty and perfection are never tarnished. Ironically, her greed distorts her horribly in the end. | |
