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. I told you this long ago...
Copy !req
7. You belong to me.
Copy !req
8. If you want to free
yourself from my control...
Copy !req
9. then just as you did before...
Copy !req
10. Wrest yourself away with your blade!
Copy !req
11. Goodbye...
Copy !req
12. Feel no shame about shape.
Copy !req
13. Weather changes their phrase.
Copy !req
14. Even mother will show you another way.
Copy !req
15. So put your glasses on.
Copy !req
16. Nothing will be wrong.
Copy !req
17. There's no blame. There's no fame.
Copy !req
18. It's up to you.
Copy !req
19. The first words should be found.
Copy !req
20. Whatever holds you back.
Copy !req
21. I...
Copy !req
22. can...
Copy !req
23. I can get it off.
Copy !req
24. Tell me what...
Copy !req
25. Tell me what...
Copy !req
26. Tell me what you want.
Copy !req
27. I don't know why...
Copy !req
28. Don't know why...
Copy !req
29. Don't know why you're afraid.
Copy !req
30. Tell me what...
Copy !req
31. Tell me what...
Copy !req
32. Tell me what you'd say.
Copy !req
33. I don't know why...
Copy !req
34. Don't know why...
Copy !req
35. Too late...
Copy !req
36. It's too late.
Copy !req
37. Sparks
Copy !req
38. They look brave enough.
Copy !req
39. So many plucky fellows have
gathered to fight in my tournament!
Copy !req
40. My lord, the final match
will begin at any moment.
Copy !req
41. He is a mercenary named Valencia,
well-known as the Prince of Massacre.
Copy !req
42. It's been said that he slaughtered...
Copy !req
43. over one hundred thirty Midland
soldiers during the hundred-year war.
Copy !req
44. I am quite sure that Valencia will win...
Copy !req
45. Who is he?
Copy !req
46. Hey, what are you doing?
Copy !req
47. Can't you tell?
Copy !req
48. I'm a challenger.
Copy !req
49. That's ridiculous!
Copy !req
50. I'm his rightful opponent!
Copy !req
51. Hey, don't be such a stiff.
Copy !req
52. It's supposed to be a festive event.
Copy !req
53. You look pretty formidable.
Copy !req
54. What do you say?
How about taking me on?
Copy !req
55. My lord...
Copy !req
56. Very well, I'll allow it! It's a sideshow
before the final bout. Go on then!
Copy !req
57. Hey, now you're talking!
Copy !req
58. Even if this is
for entertainment, a duel is a duel.
Copy !req
59. I'll give no quarter!
Copy !req
60. I wouldn't have it any other way!
Copy !req
61. Take your stance!
Copy !req
62. No need, come anytime.
Copy !req
63. Ridiculous!
Copy !req
64. Are you telling me
you won't even take your stance?
Copy !req
65. I-I-I yield...
Copy !req
66. Well, well!
Copy !req
67. That man did it!
Copy !req
68. Well done, well done.
Copy !req
69. Now then, would you
be interested in serving me?
Copy !req
70. Needless to say, I'll pay you very well.
Copy !req
71. Thanks, but I'm not interested
in that sort of thing...
Copy !req
72. My lord...
Copy !req
73. What a shame...
Copy !req
74. Not to put a man of his caliber to use...
Copy !req
75. Guts!
Copy !req
76. Guts!
Copy !req
77. Welcome back!
Copy !req
78. Easy, easy.
Copy !req
79. I was worried about you...
Copy !req
80. because you were
gone when I woke up!
Copy !req
81. But Grandpa Godot was right after all.
Copy !req
82. He told me that you would
come back here for sure!
Copy !req
83. Sorry, but I need you to fix this again.
Copy !req
84. Really!
Copy !req
85. After sitting around
and doing nothing for a week...
Copy !req
86. you suddenly try
your skill in a tournament.
Copy !req
87. I see...
Copy !req
88. You fought against
a very skilled man this time...
Copy !req
89. A sword doesn't lie.
Copy !req
90. This sword tells me everything
about both you and your opponent.
Copy !req
91. Oh, this poor sword of yours...
Copy !req
92. It's wielded by a man
who's blind to his own destiny.
Copy !req
93. Let me fix the sword, please?
Copy !req
94. When you're a little older, Erica.
Copy !req
95. My destiny...
Copy !req
96. My dream...
Copy !req
97. Does this sword embody my dream?
Copy !req
98. Guts!
Copy !req
99. Here we go!
Copy !req
100. Okay!
Copy !req
101. Guts!
Copy !req
102. I guess it was too much
to deal with at once, after all!
Copy !req
103. Yeah, it was.
Copy !req
104. This is no dream.
Copy !req
105. This has always been by my side.
Copy !req
106. That's right. It's a part of my body.
Copy !req
107. Through all the pain
I could hardly endure...
Copy !req
108. All those moments
when I was sure of my death...
Copy !req
109. I overcame them all
with this sword by my side.
Copy !req
110. Here's one!
Copy !req
111. Unforgettable memories...
Unforgettable people...
Copy !req
112. I've sensed them all at sword point.
Copy !req
113. This sword is proof
of my very existence.
Copy !req
114. Guts!
Copy !req
115. Guts!
Copy !req
116. Ouch!
Copy !req
117. Come on, stay still!
Copy !req
118. You are quite reckless.
Copy !req
119. Godot, why did you
become a swordsmith?
Copy !req
120. We've been a family
of swordsmiths for generations.
Copy !req
121. Do you like it?
Copy !req
122. I don't know.
Copy !req
123. You don't know?
Copy !req
124. Erica likes it because it's fun.
Copy !req
125. I want to be a swordsmith too!
Copy !req
126. Hey, be careful.
Copy !req
127. I've gripped steel
before even learning to walk.
Copy !req
128. I strike...
Copy !req
129. the iron lying before me...
Copy !req
130. without thinking
about whether I like it or not.
Copy !req
131. I've always strived to improve my
skill... To forge even better swords...
Copy !req
132. But then before I knew it,
I became an old man.
Copy !req
133. Why do I continue striking iron?
The truth is I have no idea.
Copy !req
134. But... there is one
certain thing that I do like about it.
Copy !req
135. Sparks...
Copy !req
136. I like seeing the sparks...
Copy !req
137. I'm absorbed by them.
Copy !req
138. For a moment, I can feel as if
my life is sparking before my eyes.
Copy !req
139. Sparks...
Copy !req
140. Am I also attracted...
Copy !req
141. to sparks?
Copy !req
142. Light cascading off swords...
Copy !req
143. Tiny sparks...
Copy !req
144. For as long
as my opponents and I have lived...
Copy !req
145. Our swords crash into our very being,
scattering tiny sparks of light...
Copy !req
146. These sparks are like life itself.
Copy !req
147. Guts, ready?
Copy !req
148. Yeah!
Copy !req
149. You did it!
Copy !req
150. Guts!
Copy !req
151. Finally, you did it!
Copy !req
152. At the end of the day,
there's nothing left for me but this.
Copy !req
153. I wield my sword...
not for anyone else, but for myself...
Copy !req
154. To generate my own sparks,
even if it's for a fleeting moment.
Copy !req
155. Are you leaving?
Copy !req
156. Yeah, thanks for your help.
Copy !req
157. After being sheltered for nearly a year,
that's all you have to say to me?
Copy !req
158. Take care of yourself.
Copy !req
159. Of course I will!
I don't need you to tell me.
Copy !req
160. So long.
Copy !req
161. Hey...
Copy !req
162. Don't get yourself killed.
Copy !req
163. Master Godot!
Copy !req
164. What's the idea, coming over
here so early in the morning?
Copy !req
165. Do I even have to explain?
I'm here to place an order!
Copy !req
166. An order?
Copy !req
167. I want you to make as many
swords as you can immediately.
Copy !req
168. Of course,
I'll pay you handsomely for this.
Copy !req
169. What's going on?
Copy !req
170. Did war break out?
Copy !req
171. No...
Copy !req
172. We're hunting down bandits!
Copy !req
173. Hunting bandits?
Copy !req
174. Those fugitives
we've been hearing about...
Copy !req
175. They're hiding in
the mountains just over the border.
Copy !req
176. I need weapons so I can make
some easy money before it's too late.
Copy !req
177. Fugitives?
Copy !req
178. You haven't heard?
Copy !req
179. You neither, master?
Copy !req
180. Well, no surprise.
Copy !req
181. You guys live like hermits
down here, after all!
Copy !req
182. Who are they,
these bandits on the run?
Copy !req
183. They were once members
of a mercenary band that led a revolt...
Copy !req
184. in Windham about a year ago.
Copy !req
185. A mercenary band?
Copy !req
186. Yes, I'm told that they are led
by a woman with incredible skills.
Copy !req
187. A woman?
Copy !req
188. I heard that they also made quite
an impact in the hundred-year war.
Copy !req
189. I don't remember the name though...
Copy !req
190. probably the band
of something... Band of...
Copy !req
191. Yes!
Copy !req
192. The Band of the Hawk!
Copy !req
193. Wait, what did you just say?
Copy !req
194. Huh?
Copy !req
195. I'm asking you what you just said!
Copy !req
196. W-Well...
Copy !req
197. I said the Band of the Hawk,
led by a woman named Casca.
Copy !req
198. We finally found them...
Copy !req
199. the Band of the Hawk.
Copy !req
200. Damn, they gave us a lot of trouble.
Copy !req
201. Stop complaining. Remember,
they're not going to live past this night!
Copy !req
202. We'll make sure
they get a good night's sleep!
Copy !req
203. Don't work too hard...
You won't be able to keep it up.
Copy !req
204. Judeau...
Copy !req
205. I understand your feelings.
Copy !req
206. But you're essentially the leader
of the Band of the Hawk.
Copy !req
207. Everyone's exhausted because
we've been on the run for so long.
Copy !req
208. At a time like this,
we can't have you collapsing too!
Copy !req
209. I know.
Copy !req
210. A moment ago,
I got a report from our comrades...
Copy !req
211. who infiltrated Windham.
Copy !req
212. According to their report, Griffith is
confined in an underground dungeon...
Copy !req
213. located at the lowest
level of Windham Palace.
Copy !req
214. Some of them have heard a distant
voice from the depths of the prison...
Copy !req
215. It could be him screaming or moaning.
Copy !req
216. However...
Copy !req
217. the voice has not been
heard within this month.
Copy !req
218. Everyone is exhausted.
Copy !req
219. We can't live on the run
much longer. We've got to hurry!
Copy !req
220. Believe in them.
Copy !req
221. You've got to believe
in your comrades.
Copy !req
222. We have no choice but to pool
our talents together, every one of us.
Copy !req
223. Judeau...
Copy !req
224. Anyways, you should
at least get some rest.
Copy !req
225. You can't organize our mission
to rescue Griffith if you are so tired...
Copy !req
226. You are right...
Copy !req
227. You need to eat and rest.
Copy !req
228. Yeah...
Copy !req
229. Judeau...
Copy !req
230. Thank you.
Copy !req
231. How's Casca?
Copy !req
232. Taking a little rest.
Copy !req
233. She should.
Copy !req
234. Lately, she hasn't slept at all.
Copy !req
235. I think she's been doing a fine job.
Copy !req
236. If she hadn't assumed leadership,
by now we'd all be...
Copy !req
237. You're right.
We might not have survived this far...
Copy !req
238. We've survived,
but what good has that done us?
Copy !req
239. Even if we make it out alive and
try to start fresh in some country...
Copy !req
240. It could never happen!
Copy !req
241. First of all, without Griffith,
we're just sheep without a shepherd.
Copy !req
242. We can't accomplish a thing.
Copy !req
243. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
244. It's obvious we need him, but that's
why we're all trying to rescue him!
Copy !req
245. Can you prove that
Griffith is even still alive?
Copy !req
246. Who knows. It might be over...
Copy !req
247. All over for him...
Copy !req
248. Then why are you here, Corkus?
Copy !req
249. Why didn't you
leave with the deserters?
Copy !req
250. Rickert...
Copy !req
251. I wish he was here for us...
Copy !req
252. What is it?
Copy !req
253. Enemy raid!
Copy !req
254. The enemy is in the north woods!
Copy !req
255. Third company,
fourth company, counterattack!
Copy !req
256. All others, get the injured on carriages
and ride to the southern quarter!
Copy !req
257. Casca!
Copy !req
258. I have you!
Copy !req
259. Stay alert, Captain.
Copy !req
260. Guts...
Copy !req
261. Looking back, the morning comes.
Copy !req
262. Don't find your face in your glass.
Copy !req
263. Take the moonlight by the tail.
Copy !req
264. It's a rainy sight. You're shading.
Copy !req
265. What is that?
Copy !req
266. It's just the same.
Copy !req
267. What is trying your crown?
Copy !req
268. I'm spending my glass, walking back.
Copy !req
269. So wear my glass. You're fading.
Copy !req
270. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
271. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
272. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
273. I'm waiting...
Copy !req
274. Next Episode
Copy !req
275. Unless man loses a precious thing,
he will never know its true value.
Copy !req
276. When he is utterly weary, and the
path to his dream has been crushed...
Copy !req
277. it is then that a dim light
pierces the darkness.
Copy !req
278. Why can man not live in bliss unless
he embraces his wounded heart?
Copy !req
279. Confession
Copy !req
