In episode 11 of Casshern Sins season 1, titled "By One's Calling," we see a different side of Leda when she saves a group of robots from being hunted down by a band of human mercenaries. These robots have been living peacefully in a village, but the humans believe they are a threat and must be eradicated.
Leda's actions seem to be motivated by something other than her usual desire for power and control. She tells the robots that as a scientist, she cannot stand by and watch as innocent beings are persecuted for simply existing. This moment of empathy and compassion is a stark departure from her usual cold and calculating persona.
Meanwhile, Casshern and Lyuze continue their search for Luna, hoping that she can bring an end to the Ruin. Along the way, they encounter a new robot named Friender who is searching for his lost companion. Friender's steadfast loyalty to his friend reminds Casshern and Lyuze of the bonds they have formed with each other and with the robots they have encountered on their journey.
As they near their destination, Casshern and Lyuze are confronted by a powerful robot named Dio who is also seeking Luna. Dio is one of the most feared robots in the land, known for his brutal tactics and willingness to kill. Casshern and Lyuze prepare for a difficult battle, but they are surprised when Dio offers to ally with them instead of fighting against them.
Dio reveals that he too is searching for Luna, but for a different reason. He believes that Luna holds the key to immortality, and he wants to live forever so that he can continue to experience the pleasures of life. Casshern and Lyuze are taken aback by Dio's selfishness, but they agree to continue their search together.
The episode ends with Leda arriving at the same location as Casshern and his companions, and she too expresses an interest in finding Luna. It remains to be seen whether Leda's true motives are in line with those of Casshern, Lyuze, and Dio, or if she has a different agenda altogether.
Overall, "By One's Calling" is a poignant episode that explores themes of loyalty, compassion, and selfishness. It highlights the complex relationships between robots and humans, and raises important questions about the nature of existence and the meaning of life.
