Casshern is a humanoid robot who finds himself in a decaying, desolate world. The plague known as Ruin kills humans and robots alike, and apparently Casshern is the cause for having slain the world's guardian entity, Luna. 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 any robot which devours Casshern will live forever.

* [[Does Not Wear Shoes]]: Ringo.

* [[Doting Parent]]: Ohji. Lyuze put it best:

* [[Double Entendre]]: The entirety of episode 4

* {{spoiler|[[Downer Ending]] / [[Bittersweet Ending]]: It depends on your take on the whole ending. On one hand, Lyuze and Ohji die from the Ruin, Luna is still granting [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|''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.}}

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Even the Ruin hasn't stopped many robots from trying to kill any humans they find.

* [[Foe Yay]] : Dio and Casshern, so much. Given the show's propension to hidden meanings and double entendres, it's probably intentional.

* [[Genki Girl]]: Ringo.

* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Signals Casshern going into [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] mode.

* [[Walking the Earth]]: What Casshern and most of the main characters do through the vast majority of the series.

** This is also what {{spoiler|Casshern}} decides at the ending, promising to travel the world {{spoiler|forever}} in order to become {{spoiler|''death''}} for those who don't {{spoiler|know}} of it (mainly {{spoiler|Luna’s immortals}}). To quote his parting words:

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: What happened to {{spoiler|Bolton}}?

** To elaborate, Bolton is {{spoiler|an injured robot Casshern left behind with the promise that he would get Luna to heal him. We never hear of him again}}.
