[00:03] Corkus
    This is mind blowing!
[00:04] attendee A
    Oh my, take a look.
[00:06] attendee B
    Are not those members
    of the Band of the Hawk?
[00:08] attendee C
    Oh, Midland's guardian angels!
[00:11] Corkus
    We gotta look the part if we want respect.
[00:13] lady A
    Welcome back, Lord Griffith.
[00:17] lady B
    I was so concerned for you.
[00:19] lady C
    I, too, prayed for you every day.
[00:21] lady D
    Might the two of us dance later?
[00:24] lady E
    I would love to hear about
    the Band of the Hawk's exploits.
[00:28] Griffith
    Wouldn't war stories be uncouth and boring?
[00:32] lady A
    Oh, not at all!
[00:34] lady D
    They're very exciting!
[00:36] Judeau
    He's sure in his element.
[00:40] Corkus
    Send at least one of them over here, will ya?
[00:43] lady F
    You must be the Band of the Hawk commanders.
[00:46] lady G
    I'd like to hear of your battlefield heroics.
[00:49] lady H
    You must be terrifically strong!
[00:52] Corkus
    Well, yes, you could say that.
[00:54] lady I
    By all means, tell us more!
[00:56] Corkus
    I could never fit it all into one night.
[00:59] Corkus
    How much time do you have?
[01:00] lady I
    Why, plenty!
[01:01] lady J
    Are you the raiders' captain?
[01:04] lady J
    The one who slew a hundred men by himself?
[01:06] lady K
    Truly?
[01:08] lady L
    He's also the one who defeated
    the General Boscogn.
[01:12] lady K
    Oh my! I wonder if you
    or Lord Griffith is stronger.
[01:15] lady ?
    Your muscles are amazing!
[01:17] lady X
    Goodness, how can they be so firm?
[01:19] lady Z
    Simply enchanting.
[01:21] lady M
    Oh, you are just adorable.
[01:23] lady M
    Are you also part of the band?
[01:25] Rickert
    Uh, yes! I'm in the Band of the Hawk!
[01:27] Corkus
    And then... who should attack but the Holy
    Purple Rhino Knights, led by General Boscogn!
[01:32] Guts
    Okay, I'm out.
[01:36] Rickert
    Hey! No fair, Guts!
[01:43] Guts
    You gotta be kidding me.

[03:21] noble B
    I doubt there's a man alive
    who would overlook you.
[03:25] noble B
    How about after that gentleman, then?
[03:27] noble C
    No, I must insist that I be the one to...
[03:29] Casca
    But...
[03:31] noble D
    I would love for you to hear my song.
[03:35] noble A
    Wait...
[03:38] Guts
    Why're these nobles all like that?
[03:41] Casca
    Hey, help me out!
    I can't manage to get rid of these guys.
[03:47] Guts
    C—
[03:47] Casca
    Please!
[03:49] Guts
    H-Hey.
[03:51] Judeau
    Huh...
[03:57] Casca
    I'd feel far more comfortable
    swinging a sword.
[04:01] Guts
    Agreed.
[04:03] Casca
    People should stick to what they're used to.
[04:06] Casca
    I haven't worn a skirt in years.
[04:10] Casca
    And I've got so much more muscle now.
[04:15] Casca
    I must look ridiculous, huh?
[04:20] Guts
    I wouldn't say that.
[04:22] Guts
    You look pretty good.
[04:24] Casca
    Really?
[04:28] Guts
    Yeah.
[04:31] Guts
    Hey, why not ask Griffith to dance with you?
[04:36] Casca
    I'd just end up stepping on his feet.
[04:43] Casca
    But what changed your mind?
[04:46] Casca
    You've never shown up
    at anything this formal before.
[04:54] Guts
    I thought I'd see for myself...
[04:58] Guts
    Everything Griffith and the
     Band of the Hawk have done.
[05:02] Guts
    Just how much he's managed to obtain,
    and all he'll try to get going forward.
[05:10] Casca
    Guts, you're...
[05:14] Guts
    I've had enough of looking up
    at him from within his dream.
[05:28] Guts
    Of all people... I can't have
    him looking down on me.
[05:35] Casca
    You can't mean you're...
[06:02] king
    Everyone, we thank you most sincerely
    for braving these long years of tribulation.
[06:17] king
    As all of you know,
    this victory is in no small part
[06:20] king
    due to the exploits of the
    Band of the Hawk, led by Count Griffith.
[06:26] king
    These past hundred years, the capture
    of Doldrey was said to be impossible.
[06:31] king
    But with their unparalleled
    dauntless courage, they succeeded.
[06:40] king
    We therefore intend to promote
    Count Griffith and the Band of the Hawk,
[06:44] king
    give them the name of the White Phoenix Knights,
[06:46] king
    and to grant each and every
    unit commander the rank of knighthood.
[06:55] attendee D
    Oh, the White Phoenix General!
[06:57] attendee E
    The White Phoenix Knights, he said!
[06:59] attendee F
    Oh my!
[07:10] noble E
    This can't be.
[07:11] noble F
    There'll be no stopping them now.
[07:13] Corkus
    Ow!
[07:15] Corkus
    Nope, not dreamin'!
[07:17] Corkus
    We're nobles!
[10:17] customer A
    H-Hey, take a look at that.
[10:20] customer B
    They're Band of the Hawk commanders!
[10:32] Guts
    How could you tell I was leaving?
[10:35] Judeau
    Picking up on things is what I do.
[10:39] Judeau
    So, what's the reason?
    Why now, all of a sudden?
[10:44] Guts
    It ain't sudden.
[10:45] Guts
    I've been thinking about it
    since before Doldrey.
[10:48] Judeau
    You disgruntled about something?
[10:50] Guts
    Disgruntled? Of course it's nothin' like that.
[10:53] Guts
    The Band of the Hawk's not your typical army.
[10:56] Guts
    All I'd ever done in my life was fight.
[10:59] Guts
    It gave me
    my first taste of companionship.
[11:02] Judeau
    The old you never would've said that.
[11:06] Guts
    These three years have really been a blast.
[11:09] Guts
    Feels like I've been
    celebrating this whole time.
[11:13] Guts
    Of course I'm not disgruntled.
[11:16] Judeau
    Then why leave?
[11:19] Guts
    My only talent is swingin' a sword.
[11:24] Guts
    The first time I killed someone, I was still
    a kid who didn't know left from right.
[11:30] Guts
    And since then, I've known
    nothing but the battlefield.
[11:35] Guts
    I killed to survive.
[11:38] Guts
    That was all I could do. It was everything.
[11:46] Guts
    And that woulda been fine by me...
[11:49] Guts
    if just one person—anybody—had looked my way.
[11:57] Guts
    But wandering from battlefield
    to battlefield taught me...
[12:01] Guts
    That I was just a whiny little kid.
[12:06] Guts
    And yet, then I met him.
[12:09] Guts
    I found someone I truly wanted to see me.
[12:15] Guts
    He didn't have a thing to his name.
[12:18] Guts
    And he was trying to obtain everything.
[12:22] Guts
    No, there was something about him
    that made it seem possible.
[12:30] Guts
    But because he aims for such heights,
[12:35] Guts
    he's constantly refining
    himself to the extreme.
[12:41] Guts
    There's no room for anyone weak by his side.
[12:50] Guts
    The funny thing is, the truer that becomes...
    the more dazzling he looks to me.
[12:57] Guts
    I want to stand by his side
    by obtaining something on my own.
[13:04] Guts
    I have no interest in status or rank.
[13:06] Guts
    I'm after something else.
[13:09] Guts
    Something I can claim for myself.
[13:13] Judeau
    Guts...
[13:16] Guts
    Don't you have anything like that?
[13:22] Judeau
    As for me, I've always been
    clever enough to handle anything.
[13:28] Judeau
    I was better than average
    with swords and knives.
[13:33] Judeau
    And not to brag,
[13:36] Judeau
    but I've also got pretty sharp wits.
[13:39] Judeau
    Yet I was never the best at anything.
[13:43] Judeau
    So, if I couldn't be the best,
    I decided I'd serve
[13:47] Judeau
    whoever seemed like he could be.
[13:52] Judeau
    No one starts out not wanting anything.
[13:57] Judeau
    Don't get me wrong, though.
    I'm pretty happy with my current situation.
[14:07] Judeau
    I mean, this makes no sense if you
    think about it.
[14:11] Judeau
    You're talking about giving up a leadership
    role in the Band of the Hawk,
[14:16] Judeau
    your noble rank, and knighthood
    all for some vague "something."
[14:20] Judeau
    That's downright crazy.
[14:24] Judeau
    But maybe men are crazy.
[14:29] Judeau
    Dreams, victory, defeat...
[14:33] Judeau
    I'm sure we drag that stuff
    around our entire lives.
[14:41] Judeau
    Say, there's something
    I've been meaning to ask.
[14:45] Guts
    Huh?
[14:46] Judeau
    What the heck's up with you and Casca?
[14:49] Guts
    What? Where'd that come from?
[14:53] Judeau
    Seems to me you've gotten a lot closer
    ever since you went over that cliff.
[14:58] Guts
    Does it?
[14:59] Guts
    Well, some stuff has happened between us.
[15:04] Guts
    What's that look for?
[15:10] Judeau
    Why don't you invite her along?
[15:14] Guts
    Huh?
[15:16] Guts
    Th-That came outta nowhere.
[15:18] Guts
    What makes you ask?
[15:20] Guts
    Every trooper in the Band of the Hawk
    knows she's stuck on Griffith.
[15:25] Judeau
    I don't think Casca
    will ever get to be with him.
[15:30] Judeau
    Like you said, he started out with nothing,
[15:35] Judeau
    and he's made it all the way up
    to being a big-shot general.
[15:39] Judeau
    Most people would pat themselves
    on the back and say that was enough.
[15:46] Judeau
    But he won't stop.
[15:48] Judeau
    There's just one thing he wants.
    One destination.
[15:53] Judeau
    They're saying Midland probably
    won't see war again for some time.
[15:58] Judeau
    That means even Griffith will have
    fewer chances for advancement.
[16:02] Judeau
    Even as a big-shot general,
     he's still just a soldier.
[16:06] Judeau
    He'll never be anything more.
[16:09] Judeau
    Not without a trump card.
[16:11] Judeau
    Something for that final push.
[16:15] Judeau
    You haven't realized? It's the princess.
[16:20] Judeau
    Claiming Princess Charlotte is
[16:23] Judeau
    the shortest path and the only way
    for Griffith to fulfill his ambition.
[16:30] Judeau
    Right now, Griffith is the incomparable
    White Phoenix General.
[16:34] Judeau
    The hero who saved the kingdom.
[16:37] Judeau
    He'd be a worthy match for Princess Charlotte.
[16:42] Judeau
    General Julius was next
    in line for the throne after her.
[16:47] Judeau
    His son, Adonis, was said to be
    a candidate for her hand in marriage.
[16:52] Judeau
    As it turns out, somebody's seen
     to it that they're both dead.
[16:59] Judeau
    Guts, did you...?
[17:01] Judeau
    No, whatever.
[17:04] Judeau
    Anyway, the point is that the people in the
    way of Griffith achieving his goal are gone.
[17:11] Judeau
    And the princess...
    She has it pretty bad for Griffith.
[17:15] Judeau
    I'm sure he nudged her in that direction.
[17:19] Judeau
    But anyhow, there's no way
    he'll pass up this chance.
[17:24] Judeau
    Griffith is special to Casca.
[17:28] Judeau
    She's not just stuck on him.
[17:30] Judeau
    He brought her out of a hopeless situation
    and gave her the means to survive.
[17:36] Judeau
    What she feels for him is more than just love.
[17:39] Judeau
    It's something closer to worship.
[17:42] Judeau
    But maybe for a woman, there's some
    joy in having ongoing feelings
[17:47] Judeau
    for a man she can never be with.
[17:51] Judeau
    Normally, if you love someone,
    wouldn't you want to be in their arms?
[17:56] Judeau
    And next to him right now is a woman
    who's indispensable to his dream.
[18:04] Judeau
    The woman who can give him
    what he desires most.
[18:10] Judeau
    Sounds like torture to me.
[18:18] Judeau
    How do you feel? About Casca.
[18:23] Judeau
    Ever wanted her in your arms?
[18:30] Guts
    I think...
[18:32] Guts
    she's a good woman.
[18:34] Guts
    Way better than those aristocrat girls who
    don't know how to do anything but dress up.
[18:42] Guts
    There aren't many women you can
    trust to watch your back in battle.
[18:46] Guts
    But to me, she's more of
    a war buddy than a woman.
[18:53] Guts
    So...
[18:59] Guts
    No.
[19:04] Guts
    That's not it.
[19:06] Guts
    She only has eyes for Griffith.
[19:10] Guts
    So now...
[19:12] Guts
    Right now, I'm not right for her.
[19:21] Judeau
    Gotcha.
[19:24] Judeau
    It looked like you had a good chance with her.
[19:31] Judeau
    Guess I picked up on that one wrong.
[19:34] Guts
    Right now, I've got my hands full with myself.
[19:40] Judeau
    I hope you find it.
[19:43] Judeau
    That "something" of yours.
[20:08] Lyrics
    I thought we were holding hands
[20:14] Lyrics
    Down a path that had yet to end
[20:20] Lyrics
    I'm still looking for that figure
[20:27] Lyrics
    Who suddenly strayed away
[20:34] Lyrics
    Where have you gone,
[20:37] Lyrics
    Leaving everything behind?
[20:45] Lyrics
    I want to see you again
[20:52] Lyrics
    I'm so frustrated I can't move
[20:58] Lyrics
    I can't do anything and it hurts
[21:04] Lyrics
    Still not willing to believe it
[21:11] Lyrics
    Here I am, unable to find
[21:15] Lyrics
    Purpose in a world without you
[22:03] drunkard
    Hurrah for the Band of the Hawk!
[22:15] drunkard
    It's cold...
[23:16] Casca
    Guts, I know we've had our fights, but we're
    comrades who've defied death together.
[23:23] Casca
    The Band of the Hawk's work
     is finally paying off.
[23:26] Casca
    This is just the beginning! But you're...
[23:30] Guts
    I've already made up my mind.
[23:32] Casca
    But...
[23:36] Casca
    Guts!
[23:46] Griffith
    Do you mean to leave?
[23:49] Griffith
    Leave the Hawks?
[23:53] Guts
    Sorry.
