Wait for me
Hurry up!
Wait up!
Wait for me
Come on!
Guts!
Prince
Prince of we The Unforgiven
We seek an audience with you
We shall meet. in that time. at that place.
We are kinsmen. oh blessed King of Longing.
It was seen in Chet this time
What?!
What kind of evil do these strange occurrences portend?
The Holy See is dispatching a commission of inquiry to investigate
So even the Holy See is taking action
Don't overdo it
We can't have you collapsing on us
I know
Rickert is back
He found out where they're keeping Griffith
Then Then!
Don't be hasty
But
Everyone's reached their limit
We've been running for a year
We're all completely exhausted
But it's not like we can take action immediately
Right now, you have to rest
Thanks
Enemy raid!
Was Rickert followed?
That was a nice move
I must hand it to the highly touted female commander
of the Band of the Hawk
But in any kind of battle,
the moment the leader's head is taken
is the moment the outcome is decided
What?!
What the hell is he?!
No ordinary foe, that's for sure!
Casca!
I win
Tell your men to put down their swords and you'll live
Otherwise, I'll cut your head off right now
Now choose on the count of three
One
Two
Three!
Four!
Don't let this street performer tire you out
Pull yourself together Commander
Guts!
What?!
Captain! You came back!
C'mon! Stop sitting around!
I'll take care of this
You go and do your job
Go
Stay back and don't interfere
He's mine
This blade of thunder will strike you down!
What-?!
Why you!
Master Silat!
Fire!
Fall back for now
Casca!
What?
Griffith was?!
Yeah, it happened the day after you left
One day, we're hailed as the saviors of Midland
and in a single night, we're branded criminals
So much for becoming a noble
But I guess you couldn't care less about that
I'm not accepting you back
Not some bastard who wasn't here when he was needed most
He's not my comrade
On guard
What?
Hey, wait!
You totally tried to kill me just now!
H-Hey, Casca!
Don't look down on me!
Draw your sword!
You're reckless as ever
What's your problem?
It's your fault
You ruined everything
It's your fault!
Griffith and the Band of the Hawk
You destroyed it all!
Me? Why?
How stupid are you?!
You!
The only one Griffith wanted was you!
You were the only one close to Griffith!
You made Griffith weak!
Griffith
Griffith's
no good without you!
That's not true
We're talking about Griffith here
Griffith
Let go! You're bleeding
I just did my own thing
Just like Griffith
All right, I get it! Let go, you fool!
I wasn't able to become Griffith's sword
or his woman
To be honest, I knew
I realized long ago that there was no place for me in his heart
But I refused to give up because if I did,
I thought I'd fade away
Casca
But it's all right
I'm tired
You do the rest
Damn it! What the hell were you thinking?!
Listen! Never go near a cliff, ever again!
I can't deal with being dragged along again another time! Damn it!
You took everything from me
I feel like killing you right now
Fool
Hey
You're always getting hurt
because of me
You're always bleeding
Fool
Hey
Huh?
You're leaving after we rescue Griffith?
Yeah I stick to my decisions
You should come with me
Huh?
Come with me after we rescue Griffith
I don't know what the future holds
But
I can't get enough of you
You fool
I want to have you hundreds
thousands of times from here on
You fool
Quit calling me a fool
I'm aware of that
Hey, Casca
Wake up, Casca!
I see the wheel has begun to turn
What? I'm positive he was behind me
Who the hell are you?!
Heed my words, you who struggle
Shortly, a rain of terror,
the likes of which you cannot control,
shall descend upon you
A storm of death
But take heart, you who struggle
Resist, challenge, and struggle more
That alone is the sword that confronts death
Do not forget these words
H-Hey!
What was that all about?! Wait!
How did you find this place?
I had some help from the inside
It means we're not the only ones who want to rescue Griffith
But insiders from the castle?
Are you with the Band of the Hawk?
I've waited for you
You really did come
Princess?!
You're the help from the inside?!
Yes, it was me
How far down does this hole go?
Many years ago about a thousand years
During the age of wars
Huh?
Someone appeared who put an end to the warring age
The Supreme King Gaiseric
He conquered all the regions of the continent
and built an empire in one generation
There's much mystery surrounding him
But he was skilled in battle and
it's said that he always wore a skull mask on the battlefield
I've heard the story of the Skull King before
But the King became drunk with power,
and God sent five angels after him and destroyed his capital
Wasn't it four?
So what does that fairy tale have to do with this hole?
It's not a fairy tale!
At least The capital did really exist
Deep down at the bottom of this tunnel
Oh boy
Griffith?
Lord Griffith!
Someone's there!
Gri-
Grif fith?
Griffith!
The tendons in his arms and legs have been cut
His tongue too
Casca! The key!
Casca!
Stay back!
Don't come
Impossible
This can't be Griffith!
Y-You can't escape now
I just locked the door
Was it you?
Did you do this to Griffith?!
I've never laid a hand on someone so handsome
It was torture, but how can I put it
It gave me such a lift
First, I cut the tendons in his arms and legs,
so that he wouldn't try to escape
Then whenever he wasn't eating or sleeping,
I peeled off his skin, pulled out his nails,
put hot irons on him, put boiling water on him
Why, we've been inseparable like husband and wife this past year
Take at look at the best part of my collection!
It's my lucky charm
It's his tongue
You're gonna die now
You can't go to heaven double-tongued
S-Stop!
Forget it Your breath reeks too badly
You're going to hell
H-Hewup
Can't hear you Speak clearly
Don't move!
Now drop your weapons and surrender quietly!
Guts, maybe we should retreat for now
Kill them! Kill them!
What are you doing?!
- Shoot! - Y-Yes, sir!
Don't fall behind Guts!
W-What?!
Griffith was taken?!
Do not let them get away!
Don't you dare let them get away!
There are only a few of them!
Miss Casca!
This way!
Thank you
I'm honored to be able to assist our kingdom's heroes
Close the gates!
Hurry! Hurry!
Do not let the rebels through! Understand?!
Aim for the horses! Shoot!
The fools
Do they intend to force their way out?!
What are you doing, you fools?!
Hurry! Hurry!
Lord Griffith
I hope we meet again
This way, Princess
It's the regular army
About fifty
No, a hundred!
Strange
Why aren't they approaching?
It's an ambush
Sis, behind us too!
You guys, take the front
Guts, Pippin Cover the rear!
They are heinous criminals who dare aim their arrows at the king
Do not let them escape!
The horse is hit!
It won't hold up much longer!
Damn, there's no end to this!
Shit Is this it?
He made it in time!
Corkus!
I've always wanted to do this
All right, men!
Attack!
H-Hey, forget that
- Cheers! - Cheers!
As long as Griffith is back, victory is ours
The Band of the Hawk is completely revived
Yeah We'll win, and win and keep on winning!
We should get a commission with Chuder
That'll shock those Midland bastards
That's a great idea
Sorry I'll get someone to relieve you right away
It's all right Please rest, Commander
You haven't taken a break at all
I don't want you guys to worry about me
How is Griffith?
I'm not a doctor, so I can't really
Please
Griffith
Isn't that awfully hot?
You can take it off It's just the two of us
You want that on?
That's just like you
You haven't changed A year's passed
I guess this is still a war zone
You've gotta have armor on, right?
And they cut the tendons on his arms and legs
He can't stand or swing a sword
I see
Judeau told me
I see
Stop, you idiot!
H-Hey, it's a joke, right?
About Griffith?
Fine I'll just ask him myself
It's no use
Griffith can't speak anymore
What the hell?!
Weren't we gonna start all over again?
Now that Griffith is back?
They labeled us criminals for no reason at all
And for a year, we've been on the run
We lost so many comrades And yet
We kept our hopes up that when Griffith returned
And now, this?!
What'll we do?
What are we supposed to do now?
Isn't there anything we can do?
Commander Casca
The Band of the Hawk ain't dead yet
If Commander Casca continues
Give me some time
There should be some time until the next enemy attack
Let me think it over until then
Hey, wait
What do you need to think over?
What were you about to tell everyone just now?
Huh?
That you have to finish the battles that you start
You're so strong
Because one chooses to fight
one can't back out
Can you say those same words to Griffith?
We're all weak
That's why we rely on people and dreams
And is there anything we can do for someone who's lost what they rely on?
Should we be kind? Or strict?
Should we stay by their side?
Even I wanted someone to stay by my side
What do I do?
What am I supposed to do?
I don't know either
I'm going to go see Griffith
Griffith I'm going to change your bandages
So, what're you gonna do from now?
Set out on your travels again?
What about you, Judeau?
Well, let's see
Maybe I'll recruit the guys who stay
and form a band of thieves
Then at least, we can look after Griffith
Then I'll join you
You already left us
But this time, take Casca with you
Huh?
You have to take her this time Or else
She'll
You
Captain
- Captain - Captain
Are you gonna disappear without a word again like the last time?
If you are, please take us with you
We decided together as raiders
We've still got a lot left in us
As mercenaries, or whatever
As long we have you, Captain
- Captain - Hey, guys
- Please, Captain! - Captain
We're all like family, right?
If we're wanted criminals wherever we go,
let's stick together!
As long as you're with us, we can manage!
Right, Captain? Please!
- Captain - Captain
- Please, Captain! - Captain
Rickert is scouting ahead and
looking for roads to take us across the border
He knows some people in the Caronia Mountains
How strange This is
I thought I had the hang of it
I'm so hopeless
Oh
S-Sorry
I'll get another blanket
Huh?
What? Griffith?!
Grif
Griffith
Stop!
Casca?
Guts
How's Griffith?
Yeah He just went to sleep
What happened?
What do you mean?
Hey, what is it? What's the matter?
It's not what you think
It's nothing
Then why are you crying?
Did something happen with Griffith?
Stop it!
It's not what you think!
H-Hey
I'm sorry, I can't go
Huh?
I can't go with you
Griffith is so thin
He's lost so much weight he's constantly shivering
Griffith who was so proud and mighty
I can't leave him
Not the way he is now
I can't leave him
I'm sorry
I'm staying too
I'm staying with the Band of the Hawk
Do you remember what happened at Promrose Hall?
Yeah
Then, you have to go
If you are Griffith's equal
If you are his friend
You must go, even if it's alone
What are you doing here? Why are you so scared?
Let's go. we're not done playing!
The sun still hasn't gone down!
- Griffith! - Griffith!
What? Is the horse running wild?
You don't think Griffith heard us just now?!
That's ridiculous He can barely crawl
Let Judeau and the others know!
Got it!
Lend me your horse!
Damn it! Damn it!
Damn it!
Yes
I rested a bit too long.
I've got to go.
I'm not done playing.
The cobblestone path in the back alley
Continues on
What is it?
Hey look
Griffith!
Stay away!
What is that?
If you touch me now.
I'll never
never again with you!
What?!
What
just happened?
What's going on?!
Where are we?
W-What is all this?!
Where'd they come from?
W-Weren't we just crossing the grassland?! Right? Right?!
H-Hey!
Watch your step!
H-How could this be real?!
This is a dream!
We're dreaming!
Calm down!
Don't try to rationalize something you don't understand!
Do what you can do!
Form a tight formation, take defensive positions!
If we're attacked now, we're all dead!
Judeau! Corkus!
Gaston! Pippin!
Do a count,
- She's amazing - then keep your positions!
Arm those with crossbows!
- Stat! - Griffith
Can you stand?
Behelit?
Griffith Are you all right?
The time has come
The time has come for the Great Nocturnal Festival!
The feast that happens once every 216 years!
The eclipse!
Eclipse?
What are these guys?!
W-When'd they appear?
They're coming!
They're coming
Here they come
They are coming
They're coming
Our masters The sovereign of the supreme beings!
The advent of the Four Guardian Angels!
Oh, Lady Slan! Rejoice!
Lady Slan!
What now?!
W-What's happening?!
Gods
No, demons?
Welcome
Ye lambs of the ungodly god born of man
Enjoy this sacred nocturnal festival to the fullest
The Hawk
honorable child consecrated by the laws of causality
Thou art the chosen one
At this time, in this place
The one chosen by the hand of the great god
We art kinsmen O blessed King of Longing
He's one of them? Griffith?
He's like them?
Don't joke around
That's ridiculous!
Guts
Consecrated child? Kinsmen?
Cut the crap!
I've seen this guy naked!
And one thing for sure, he ain't got a tail!
Such beautiful friendship
You shall make for an excellent sacrifice!
Sacrifice?
Yes A suitable sacrifice so that he may become a demon!
The moment you took the Crimson Behelit in your hand,
you earned the right to become a demon god
That is the Egg of the King
It enables one to be reborn as one of us,
the Guardian Angels, the Godhand
And you are all invaluable sacrifices for the Angelic Advent
It's a dream, after all
You bastards You're gonna change Griffith into a monster?
In exchange for our lives?!
Not quite
It will be of his own will
He will offer you all as sacrifices
That's impossible
No way!
All lies within the currents of causality
Now is the time for the Invocation of Doom
The Invocation of Doom!
Bring the child to the altar!
Guts, Griffith!
Are you afraid? One such as yourself?
Of extraordinary beings such as us?
Or perhaps of the future that you will follow?
Before we enter the future
Let's return once to the foundation of your past
My. my
Such a noisy boy.
What's all this racket?
But old woman
There are so many dead people!
This is all your doing.
All of this
If you had never said that you were going to that castle
no one would have died!
That's
I didn't force anyone to come with me.
Silence!
You should have known.
You knew what kind of place this is.
I knew?
Yes.
The only way to get to that castle is to step over all these corpses.
Otherwise. you will simply turn into a corpse as well!
I... I...
Foolish boy!
If you were going to have regrets. you should never have wished it.
Why couldn't you be satisfied
with gazing at the castle from the alleys?
Yes
I knew.
And yet
I cannot say I'm sorry.
No. I will not.
If I apologize
If I regret it'll all be over.
I'll never get to reach that place.
Yes
That is you!
That was an illusion?
It wasn't an illusion
That was the reality within your conscious realm
The truth!
Eyeing the castle in the heavens
Taking it by piling up corpses endlessly
That is you
And
And now, your back alley path has been closed
But behold
Those who have flown with you
The Band of the Hawk
Reeking of blood
The ones left to you until the very end of the road
Thus, you will be able to keep on living
Buried under the ruins of your dream
Ruins of my dream?
Pile them up
All that has been left to you
Chant the words "I sacrifice" in your heart
And you shall be granted raven-black wings
upon which you shall soar to the heavens
Griffith!
Yes
Among the thousands. the tens of thousands of friend and foe
You are the only one who made me forget my dream.
I sacrifice
Griffith!
The threads bundled by the laws of causality have now been bound
The promised time has come
Wha-?!
You have been engraved with the brand of sacrifice
The lives of those engraved, to the last drop of blood
To the moment of agonizing death,
will become sustenance for the new child of darkness
- Pippin! - Run!
Go! Run! Run away You must survive!
What are you saying?!
What are you doing, Judeau?! Let me go! Pippin is!
Pippin!
Judeau, turn back!
We can't just let him die!
No!
You are our general now
You must survive this
As long as the general lives, the Band of the Hawk lives!
As if As if we'll die like this!
Until the absolute end
we'll struggle and fight, and keep fighting our way through!
This is the rendezvous point
So you appeared, after all
Well, you've been our foe for a thousand years
I knew you wouldn't miss this opportunity
So you were given the command to guard the gate
Immortal one
I don't like merrymaking
You should know, my old friend
It's a dream
It has to be a dream
This is a bad dream
I'm just drunk at the usual pub
Someone Hurry up and wake me
Judeau Pippin Rickert
You're there, right?
Please help me!
A woman in hell?
Do me a favor Don't wake me up now
Damn it
How is it that a guy like me? Damn it!
Hang on, Griffith!
I'll get you out of there real soon!
Get out of my way!
Save him? There will be no such thing
This is his wish
You heard it too
He definitely
Shut up!
He'd never say it!
He'd never!
Griffith is my
He's my!
Judeau!
Fool! Move! You're gonna!
Why?
Casca
Did I get him with my knife?
Yeah, you got him
Now go
What're you saying?!
You just said we'll keep struggling until the end!
Stand by your words
Now, on your feet!
Unlike Guts, I'm kinda fragile
Don't get wise and shut up!
That's all I'm good at
- If you have time to move your mouth - Yeah
- I always thought I was - Move your legs! If you can't walk
- more of a smooth talker than this - I'll carry you if I have to!
Judeau
I can't do it
Where am I?
All their deaths are piercing through me.
It's strange
I don't feel a thing.
My mind is overflowing with memories.
Why?
Why do people?
Yes.
That's why I
Isn't there anyone left
alive?
Anyone?!
Casca!
Judeau!
Pippin! Corkus!
Raiders!
Answer me!
Gaston
Pippin!
Pippin! You're alive!
Pippin!
Why you!
You bastards!
The birth
The Fifth Blessed King
The New Demon King!
Our new kinsman to wear the mantle of evil
The Wings of Darkness Femto!
Grif
What're you doing?
You bastard! What the hell are you doing?!
Grif fith?
Fool What can a mere human do?
He is an existence that has transcended humanity
D-Don't look
Such beauty
It takes my breath away
Love hatred
Pain pleasure life death
All are there
This is to be human
This is to be evil
Interesting!
How unforeseen!
We cannot predict everything
After all, we are not gods
But Void
Was this also destined?
Casca?!
Guts?!
In any case
Time has already begun to flow
The fifth angel has been born
The time of darkness descends
An age when every darkness shall eclipse light
In time, man will call this
The Age of Darkness
Hey, where're you all going?
Judeau!
Hey, stop!
Don't go!
Corkus! Pippin!
No!
Come back!
Don't go!
Guts! You're up
Rickert?
Thank goodness I thought you wouldn't make it
For four days You didn't move or blink
Where am I?
The hills by my home
This place is called Ore Cave
What happened inside the tornado?
Tornado?
Say
What happened to Griffith's rescue?
How'd you get hurt? What happened to everyone?
Tell me what happened!
Casca Where's Casca?!
C-Casca is Well
Casca is over there
Casca
It's me Guts
Nooo!
Hey Quit fooling around
It's all over Casca!
We got out of there and survived!
Casca!
There, there
What a scary man, huh?
Naughty, Guts
Don't bully Casca
She doesn't remember
Not you or me
She's been like this since she woke up
There, there It's all right
I know There's a good girl
Do I look funny?
Damn you! It's your fault!
Draw your sword!
Fool
What?!
Stop it!
Get away!
Steel yourself
Otherwise, you will be devoured
The Brand of Sacrifice
draws to it, those of darkness
Your body and every drop of blood
has been given as an offering to those of darkness
That is the destiny of those
who receive the Brand of Sacrifice
The Struggler indeed
So it just means it's another battle
Nothing's changed from before
Nothing
But this time. take Casca with you.
There he is. the bloodthirsty goon!
If you are Griffith's equal
If you are his friend
You must go. even if it's alone.
Who is that crying?
Who?
Tears?
The last that
I shed.
