During a storm, BK-1, while inside his pod, was struck by a lightning bolt. The strike woke him up and altered his programming.

He is defeated into the final episode The Greatest Showdown on Earth when Casshern unleashes his ultimate weapon on the robot dictator, ending his tyranny once and for all.

Casshern Sins

Braiking Boss was the infamous leader to the once great Robotic Empire. After humans discovered the secret to eternal life and created Robots, Braiking Boss rose up to recreate robots as the dominant race. This caused Braiking Boss to create his empire and commit genocide against the human race while maintaining strict order of the robots. [1][2]

During his rule, he ordered his top scientist Ohji to create Robots into Gods by building robots capable of pro creation, resulting in the birth of Casshern, Dio and Leda. Because this ultimately failed, Braiking Boss instead used their advanced specs to his advantage, manipulating them into becoming killing machines. After hundreds of years under his rule, victims began to flee to Luna, The Sun Named Moon, for salvation. After hearing about her deeds and blessings to the people, Braiking Boss decided the world can only have one leader and ordered his top assassins, Casshern and Friender to kill Luna.[1]

Casshern meets Braiking Boss

Searching the world for any lead by to his empire, the fallen emperor takes a chance with his past

The murder of Luna caused the world to end, starting the Ruin, which also caused the rust, decay and death of nearly every living being on the planet, crumbling Braiking Boss' empire. This left the fallen emperor to aimlessly roam the planet without meaning or purpose, hoping to one day end the Ruin and take back the planet for his own.

Opportunity strikes as his past arises, the return of Casshern igniting a spark of ambition within Braiking Boss, leading him to confront his creation. After learning of Casshern's amnesia, Braiking Boss takes it upon himself to inform Casshern completely of his despicable past, causing him a mental breakdown.[1][3]

Afterwards, Braiking Boss decided to revisit his past once more and track down his second assassin, Dio. He witnessed a battle between Dio and two former warriors who were once the strongest in his empire, Vulcan and Mars. Dio was defeated, not to Braiking Boss's surprise; he knew why and shared it with his former solider, telling him that Dio's obsession had weakened him because he failed to channel it. This bit of critical advice allowed Dio to become stronger. After Dio claimed revenge on Vulcan and Mars by murdering Mars and injuring Vulcan, Braiking Boss took it upon himself to finish off Vulcan, who he had abandoned for Casshern.[4]

Braiking Boss and Luna

Left with no other choice, dried out and desperate, Braiking Boss looks to the sun who he had once tried to eclipse

The final piece of Braiking Boss's past arises with the rebirth of Luna, although this time, he knows he has to work with her in order to reclaim his empire. He prepares a legion of soldiers to search for Luna and soon locates her after witnessing first hand the deaths caused by the ruin.

This experience before meeting Luna caused Braiking Boss to destroy the Ruin above all else and atone for his sins.[5] But it was too late, as Luna had blinded the world with the ruse of Eternal life and false happiness. Braiking Boss saw though this and did not accept her healing, rather he took responsibility for the people he had brought to her and became her guardian. [6]

Braiking Boss Death

Even a ruthless tyrant of Braiking Boss's caliber can realize his mistakes in a world caused by his sins

With his final act, Braiking Boss would defend the oncoming threat to Luna, once again faced with death himself; Casshern. Braiking Boss was forced to own up to his mistakes within his new "empire" and faced Casshern, in that moment he had believed he could truly stop the ruin with Luna.

But all too soon Death forged itself within Braiking Boss's mind causing him to realize that he can never atone by working for a false cause and that he would never reclaim the world, especially under Luna's rule. Braiking Boss was then defeated by death but even then he still hoped for atonement for the sins he has committed with his final orders to Casshern, to once again...kill Luna.[7]

Braiking Boss was even able to prove a challenge for his top assassin and death himself, Casshern.

  • Master Hand to Hand Combatant: Though his body was weakened by the Ruin, Braiking Boss maintained every ounce of strength he once had. He is a large robot able to use his size and overbearing strength to crush opponents with forceful punches and combinations of attacks, proving a match for Casshern himself. [7]
