1. In this world...
Copy !req
2. Is the destiny of mankind controlled
by some transcendental entity or law?
Copy !req
3. Is it like the hand
of God hovering above?
Copy !req
4. At least it is true...
Copy !req
5. that man has no control,
even over his own will.
Copy !req
6. H-Hey!
Copy !req
7. Guts!
Copy !req
8. Feel no shame about shape.
Copy !req
9. Weather changes their phrase.
Copy !req
10. Even mother will show you another way.
Copy !req
11. So put your glasses on.
Copy !req
12. Nothing will be wrong.
Copy !req
13. There's no blame. There's no fame.
Copy !req
14. It's up to you.
Copy !req
15. The first words should be found.
Copy !req
16. Whatever holds you back.
Copy !req
17. I...
Copy !req
18. can...
Copy !req
19. I can get it off.
Copy !req
20. Tell me what...
Copy !req
21. Tell me what...
Copy !req
22. Tell me what you want.
Copy !req
23. I don't know why...
Copy !req
24. Don't know why...
Copy !req
25. Don't know why you're afraid.
Copy !req
26. Tell me what...
Copy !req
27. Tell me what...
Copy !req
28. Tell me what you'd say.
Copy !req
29. I don't know why...
Copy !req
30. Don't know why...
Copy !req
31. Too late...
Copy !req
32. It's too late.
Copy !req
33. Together
Copy !req
34. It's up to you
whether to follow me or not.
Copy !req
35. You've learned what
it means to fight, haven't you?
Copy !req
36. Hey.
Copy !req
37. Where am I?
Copy !req
38. You are in a cave by the river.
Copy !req
39. Luckily, we fell into
the river and survived.
Copy !req
40. A river?
Copy !req
41. Come on, don't you
remember anything?
Copy !req
42. Funny you can be so nonchalant.
We nearly drowned to death!
Copy !req
43. Damn it!
Copy !req
44. Don't get up yet. Your fever
hasn't completely gone down.
Copy !req
45. You can't blame me. You were
freezing and completely drenched.
Copy !req
46. What are you looking at?
Copy !req
47. That hurt!
What's the meaning of this?
Copy !req
48. I'm the one who saved your life!
Copy !req
49. Shit, stop it!
Copy !req
50. Oh, lay off!
Copy !req
51. Enough of this crap!
Copy !req
52. You're hysterical!
Copy !req
53. I don't want to make
a big deal out of it...
Copy !req
54. But I risked my life dragging you out
of that river in your damned armor!
Copy !req
55. You could show
a little gratitude, at least!
Copy !req
56. But instead you hurl a knife at me?
Copy !req
57. I'd beat you and dislocate
your jaw if you weren't a woman!
Copy !req
58. I do not like it, a mere woman
such as you acting like a knight.
Copy !req
59. You're easily driven into a frenzy.
Copy !req
60. That's why a woman
like you isn't cut out for war.
Copy !req
61. Hey...
Copy !req
62. Not my choice...
Copy !req
63. I was not...
Copy !req
64. I was not born
as a woman by choice!
Copy !req
65. Well, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
66. Damn you!
Copy !req
67. You crazy broad!
Copy !req
68. Why don't you try to calm down?
Copy !req
69. Hands off!
Copy !req
70. Let go...
Copy !req
71. of me...
Copy !req
72. I told you so.
Copy !req
73. Hey, put this on.
Copy !req
74. It dried out while I was wearing it.
Copy !req
75. What?
Copy !req
76. Are you still crying?
Copy !req
77. Shut up!
Copy !req
78. Turn around now!
Copy !req
79. How pathetic...
Copy !req
80. You are the last person
I would ever want to be rescued by!
Copy !req
81. Great, she really hates me.
Copy !req
82. Hey, why did you enlist in
the Band of the Hawk anyway?
Copy !req
83. Isn't it tough to be
a woman in this business?
Copy !req
84. No matter the circumstances...
Copy !req
85. Well, it's not my business, I guess.
Copy !req
86. Griffith...
Copy !req
87. It's because of Griffith.
Copy !req
88. I'm from a small farming
village deep in the mountains.
Copy !req
89. The crops were meager,
and the soil was sterile...
Copy !req
90. Nevertheless, we had been bled
dry by heavy taxes for the war effort.
Copy !req
91. Frequently, we would eat
nothing for three days at a time.
Copy !req
92. Many people died of
hunger each winter...
Copy !req
93. Our village was along the border,
so it often was involved in skirmishes.
Copy !req
94. Each time it happened...
Copy !req
95. We were forced to quietly watch
our houses and fields be trampled.
Copy !req
96. There were similar stories
from all the nearby villages.
Copy !req
97. Everyone was used to being looted
and having their lives crushed...
Copy !req
98. And I thought it was
just a matter of course.
Copy !req
99. One day...
Copy !req
100. A nobleman was passing
by our village...
Copy !req
101. and I caught his eye.
Copy !req
102. The nobleman offered
to take me as his waiting maid.
Copy !req
103. After hesitating for a while, my father
ended up accepting his offer.
Copy !req
104. I knew why my father would give
his youngest daughter to the noble...
Copy !req
105. I was not much help to the family.
Copy !req
106. My parents had to reduce
the number of mouths to feed.
Copy !req
107. However...
Copy !req
108. It's no wonder that
it turned out the way it did...
Copy !req
109. It couldn't be true...
Copy !req
110. that a noble would, on a whim...
Copy !req
111. save the daughter of some
poor man purely out of kindness.
Copy !req
112. There's nothing I can do...
Copy !req
113. This is just how things are...
Copy !req
114. Those were the only thoughts
that kept me chained to reality.
Copy !req
115. Just because you were born a noble,
do you believe you're chosen by God?
Copy !req
116. He looked divine,
and the moment was unreal.
Copy !req
117. God mercifully sent an angel
to this pathetic, powerless girl.
Copy !req
118. I really believed that for a moment.
Copy !req
119. But what the angel gave me
was not the helping hand I expected.
Copy !req
120. If there is something you wish
to protect, take up that sword!
Copy !req
121. I was frightened.
Copy !req
122. Did I stab him with the sword...
Copy !req
123. or did he
accidentally impale himself?
Copy !req
124. Either way, I had killed a man.
Copy !req
125. The stranger just nodded
slowly and knowingly.
Copy !req
126. It was then I realized that he had
extended to me a true helping hand.
Copy !req
127. Griffith, we've cleared everything out.
Copy !req
128. Hey, wait...
Copy !req
129. What am I supposed to do?
Copy !req
130. Do whatever you like.
Copy !req
131. I want...
Copy !req
132. Please bring me with you!
Copy !req
133. No way, don't be silly.
Copy !req
134. We are not just petty thieves!
Copy !req
135. We are collecting war funds
in order to raise an army!
Copy !req
136. It'd be a joke if we went off to war
accompanied by kids and women!
Copy !req
137. Please, I will learn how to wield
a sword if that's what it takes!
Copy !req
138. So please...
Copy !req
139. Oh boy, she's serious.
Copy !req
140. What if you wind up dead?
Copy !req
141. I told you...
Copy !req
142. Do whatever you like.
Copy !req
143. It's up to you
whether to follow me or not.
Copy !req
144. You've learned what
it means to fight, haven't you?
Copy !req
145. Yes, but...
Copy !req
146. It's because this sword and blanket
were given to me from you.
Copy !req
147. Everything has changed
since the day I met him.
Copy !req
148. From a life of enduring
and waiting for things to happen...
Copy !req
149. to a life where I would
fight for my aspirations.
Copy !req
150. Of course, I worshipped Griffith.
Copy !req
151. I think...
Copy !req
152. I'm still lost in a dream.
Copy !req
153. A group of outcasts and commoners
became invincible on the battlefield.
Copy !req
154. It's like a miracle
the way we have fought.
Copy !req
155. Above everything, our leader is
a youth, seemingly still so innocent.
Copy !req
156. His origin is even
common, just like ours.
Copy !req
157. A miracle!
Copy !req
158. For me, Griffith is
the embodiment of a miracle!
Copy !req
159. While I somehow managed
to thrive as a soldier...
Copy !req
160. we became involved in a territorial
dispute led by a local nobleman.
Copy !req
161. The nobleman was
well-known and very wealthy.
Copy !req
162. But he had a bad reputation
that didn't reflect his wealth...
Copy !req
163. but rather his unsavory tastes.
Copy !req
164. Officially, he hired young kids
from villages as his valets.
Copy !req
165. In reality, they were imprisoned
to serve his taste for pederasty.
Copy !req
166. Their eyes looked vacant
and numbly frightened.
Copy !req
167. I felt a chill go down my spine.
Copy !req
168. Fear and hatred welled up inside me.
I was totally horrified at the sight.
Copy !req
169. It reminded me that such
a thing could have happened to me.
Copy !req
170. It was the same hand that saved me...
Copy !req
171. that he put on my shoulder then.
Copy !req
172. Somehow, that was all
he had to do to stop my shivering.
Copy !req
173. Later, after we had been
through several skirmishes...
Copy !req
174. The boy was an apprentice soldier
who had joined us half a year before.
Copy !req
175. Griffith.
Copy !req
176. What's that?
Copy !req
177. The boy's belongings...
Copy !req
178. Griffith?
Copy !req
179. He must have really
wanted to be a knight.
Copy !req
180. I remember this boy well.
Copy !req
181. He always gazed at me as one
might admire the hero of a story.
Copy !req
182. I wonder if he was happy.
Copy !req
183. Did he die as if in a dream,
one close to being fulfilled?
Copy !req
184. I think my dream
must have murdered this boy.
Copy !req
185. Before then, I had never
seen Griffith so depressed.
Copy !req
186. A man like Griffith
let his shoulders droop.
Copy !req
187. And since that moment, Griffith
gradually began to look different.
Copy !req
188. A few nights after
our return from that battle...
Copy !req
189. Griffith!
Copy !req
190. No way, you've got to be kidding!
Copy !req
191. A proud guy like him was...
Copy !req
192. Casca...
Copy !req
193. It feels so nice. Won't you join me?
Copy !req
194. Well, I, uh...
Copy !req
195. You think I'm disgusting?
Copy !req
196. No...
Copy !req
197. Why...
Copy !req
198. Why were you there last night?
Copy !req
199. Wait a minute. I was mistaken, right?
Copy !req
200. Last night... you were there
for a war council or something...
Copy !req
201. No...
Copy !req
202. What?
Copy !req
203. You weren't mistaken.
Copy !req
204. How could you?
With a man like that?
Copy !req
205. For money.
Copy !req
206. To maintain an army
costs lots of money.
Copy !req
207. Soldiers, horses, equipment,
provisions. Nothing is free.
Copy !req
208. Moreover, the Band of the Hawk
will continue to expand...
Copy !req
209. And I must lead
my army to prosperity.
Copy !req
210. That's why I need
such immense war funds.
Copy !req
211. That old man is interested in me,
while I am interested in his fortune...
Copy !req
212. Our interests have come
to an agreement. That's all.
Copy !req
213. No... even so. No way...
Copy !req
214. Why can't things stay as they are?
Copy !req
215. If can keep on winning, we could earn
all the money you need eventually.
Copy !req
216. That would take a tremendous
amount of time, and...
Copy !req
217. The more we fight in battles,
the more we lose soldiers.
Copy !req
218. You mean like that boy, don't you?
Copy !req
219. No, I don't.
Copy !req
220. I came to this conclusion rationally.
Copy !req
221. Which brings less risk, losing
hundreds of soldiers in ten battles...
Copy !req
222. or snaring a rich, old man?
Copy !req
223. Listen, Casca.
Copy !req
224. I feel no responsibility to comrades
who've lost lives under my command.
Copy !req
225. Because they chose
to fight in each battle...
Copy !req
226. Griffith?
Copy !req
227. Just as I chose this...
Copy !req
228. But if there is something that...
Copy !req
229. I can do for them...
Copy !req
230. Something I can do for the dead...
Copy !req
231. Then it is to win!
Copy !req
232. I must keep winning to attain my
dream, the same one they clung to...
Copy !req
233. and risked their lives for!
Copy !req
234. Griffith, stop it!
Copy !req
235. To realize my dream,
I will perch on top of their corpses.
Copy !req
236. It is a blood-smeared dream, after all.
Copy !req
237. I don't regret or feel guilty about it.
Copy !req
238. But to risk thousands of lives
while never getting myself dirty...
Copy !req
239. It's not a dream
that can be so easily realized!
Copy !req
240. Stop it.
Copy !req
241. Don't talk like that anymore.
Copy !req
242. It's all right.
Copy !req
243. It's nothing.
Copy !req
244. Griffith had already recovered by the
time he put his hand on my shoulder.
Copy !req
245. And it made me very sad.
Copy !req
246. Most people have abandoned
their dreams long ago...
Copy !req
247. but Griffith is still trying to realize his.
Copy !req
248. But because the dream he chose...
Copy !req
249. is so pure
and monumental in scale...
Copy !req
250. the burden he has to carry
is unimaginably heavy.
Copy !req
251. One who plans to achieve great things
inevitably endures terrible things.
Copy !req
252. He is not innately strong.
Copy !req
253. But now he has to be
stronger than ever.
Copy !req
254. I want to stand by him.
Copy !req
255. If he dedicates himself
entirely to his dream...
Copy !req
256. If he has to fight to create his dream...
Copy !req
257. I want to be a sword for him.
Copy !req
258. I want to stand by him.
Copy !req
259. I want to be something important
that will help him fulfill his dream.
Copy !req
260. Once, I believed that
my wish would be granted.
Copy !req
261. But then came the time
when you appeared before us.
Copy !req
262. Do you remember what Griffith
said to you on the hill that day?
Copy !req
263. I want you to join us, Guts!
Copy !req
264. Those words...
Copy !req
265. He had never said such
kind words to anyone.
Copy !req
266. I was very irritated by it.
Copy !req
267. You made him say that
about you without any effort at all...
Copy !req
268. and I was very envious.
Copy !req
269. I tried to convince myself...
Copy !req
270. Griffith only needed you as a soldier,
one who would strengthen us.
Copy !req
271. But a man like Griffith acts impulsively
when something happens to you.
Copy !req
272. It is as if...
Copy !req
273. As if...
Copy !req
274. Griffith has faith in you...
and yet you...
Copy !req
275. You never think about
the consequences!
Copy !req
276. What I can't forgive is how your
selfishness nearly got Griffith killed!
Copy !req
277. I don't care if you drop dead
somewhere in battle!
Copy !req
278. But I'll never forgive you if you ruin the
Band of the Hawk, Griffith's dream!
Copy !req
279. And I can't forgive you for
making Griffith change like he has...
Copy !req
280. Why?
Copy !req
281. Why did he choose you?
Copy !req
282. Why you?
Copy !req
283. W-What are you doing?
Copy !req
284. Shush!
Copy !req
285. Hey, listen, I think
they're probably dead by now.
Copy !req
286. Think about how
they fell from the cliff...
Copy !req
287. It doesn't matter whether
they are alive or not.
Copy !req
288. Sir Adon promised us
the reward nevertheless...
Copy !req
289. Because it's their raider leader
and that female commander.
Copy !req
290. Why don't we look around
downstream from here?
Copy !req
291. The bodies may have drifted
because of the current.
Copy !req
292. Listen.
Copy !req
293. Take this medicine to lower your fever.
Copy !req
294. We have no time to rest anymore.
Copy !req
295. We're going as soon as it gets dark.
Copy !req
296. Looking back, the morning comes.
Copy !req
297. Don't find your face in your glass.
Copy !req
298. Take the moonlight by the tail.
Copy !req
299. It's a rainy sight. You're shading.
Copy !req
300. What is that?
Copy !req
301. It's just the same.
Copy !req
302. What is trying your crown?
Copy !req
303. I'm spending my glass, walking back.
Copy !req
304. So wear my glass. You're fading.
Copy !req
305. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
306. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
307. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
308. I'm waiting...
Copy !req
309. Next Episode
Copy !req
310. To wield a sword
is proof that one is alive.
Copy !req
311. Dreams are woven,
ambitions are amassed...
Copy !req
312. But nothing can alter this pure truth.
Copy !req
313. One who wields a sword for another...
Copy !req
314. One who wields
a sword only for oneself...
Copy !req
315. In the end, what awaits them?
Copy !req
316. Can it truly be such a thing as joy?
Copy !req
317. Prepared for Death
Copy !req
