Dio, a cyborg fighter who looks just like Casshern, claims that they were created as killing machines and served under Braiking Boss before the Ruin. The two cyborgs face off against each other, but Lyuze intervenes and critically wounds Dio in order to force him to stop fighting. Before he retreats, Lyuze angrily tells Dio that Casshern needs to stay alive until the memories of his sins return.
