So let me see here, the swan is his mom?

Also why did he stop the guy from blowing up the bridge? Makes no sense to me.

Sweet development, really liking how well this story is actual developed together with the pacing and action introduced into the story! I wonder what the next and final episode has to offer!

Other than some decent suspense as the train went over the bridge, this episode didn't have much going for it.

Well fuck you Casshan. Humans aren't masters of this planet so why should future of this planet be on human hands?. There's lot more other life forms on earth than there is humans so why should humans have the privilege to gamble the life others away?

First, that ladder is dumb. Maybe it was made in a rush with no rhyme or reason, but wow.

Second, why did Casshern stop the explosion? Was it his inner desire to see the project him and his father worked on come true? Was it his inner robot thinking this would be a logical step towards some Utopia? Or was it an excuse for drama?

Third, really? Everything was solved by Casshern drill kicking the train? I have a feeling this OVA really wanted to be a longer series, but got shafted hard. As a result, it has no choice but to imply things and fast forward everything else. I mean, I understand what's going on in the background, but had I went into this not knowing anything about Casshern, I'm not sure if I'd be able to follow. This sucks too since I actually like the atmospheric portions, but everything else is concerning me.

I think it was pretty clear that the reason why he stopped the bomb going of was what you said. Part of him wanted to fulfill his father dream.

I chuckled at the stair design. Didn't notice it myself.

So Casshan stopped them from blowing up the bridge just so that the script can reach its full time limit.
