**[00:08] Toma**
Hey, wait, Nico... I said to wait!
**[00:11] Toma**
If you get lost, I'm the one
who'll get in trouble!
**[00:14] Toma**
How many times have you been told
not to wander in the forest?
**[00:18] Toma**
If you're eaten by wolves, don't blame me!
**[00:21] Toma**
Not to mention, the Kushans recently...
**[00:23] Nico**
Fairy.
**[00:25] Nico**
Toma, I saw a fairy.
**[00:27] Toma**
What are you talking about?
**[00:29] Toma**
This is why I didn't want to
bring you along, shrimp!
**[00:32] Boy1**
Don't, Toma.
**[00:34] Boy1**
But I sort of understand why
Nico might feel that way.
**[00:38] Boy1**
I can't really explain... But lately,
haven't you felt a bit weird?
**[00:41] Boy2**
Huh? You, too?
**[00:42] Boy3**
Yeah, I've felt strange, too.
**[00:44] Toma**
What are you talking about?
**[00:46] Boy1**
We've been coming to this forest forever.
**[00:49] Boy1**
But has it always been like this?
**[00:51] Toma**
What do you mean?
**[00:53] Boy1**
It almost feels like we're in the forest,
**[00:56] Boy1**
but it's in our dreams...
**[01:00] Boy1**
Did you hear something?
**[01:02] Boy1**
Like someone laughing?
**[01:11] Boy3**
It stopped...
**[01:13] Toma**
What now?!
**[01:14] Nico**
Toma, look.
**[01:19] Toma**
A forest demon!
**[01:21] Nico**
Monster.

***SIGN*** The Rent World
**[03:35] Erica**
Good morning, Dad.
**[03:52] Guts**
We're back.
**[03:53] Puck**
Heya.
**[03:55] Erica**
Guts... Casca...
**[04:04] Guts**
I guess...
**[04:06] Guts**
We were a little late.
**[04:09] Erica**
It happened right after you left, Guts.
**[04:11] Guts**
Sorry.
**[04:12] Erica**
No, even Dad said
**[04:15] Erica**
that simply being able to see you
before he died was enough.
**[04:19] Erica**
And he didn't want you
to see him after he'd died.
**[04:23] Erica**
But thank goodness! I'm so
happy you found Casca!
**[04:27] Erica**
If she hadn't been found, it would
have been all my fault.
**[04:31] Erica**
Hey, so what are you going
to do now, Guts?
**[04:34] Erica**
You aren't leaving Casca
behind again, are you?
**[04:38] Erica**
Let's all live here together.
**[04:44] Erica**
I'm sure if you stay and are nice to
her, Casca won't run off again!
**[04:52] Guts**
Yeah.
**[04:55] Erica**
Really? You really mean it?
**[04:57] Erica**
It's a promise!
**[04:58] Guts**
Yeah.
**[04:58] Erica**
Yay!
**[05:00] Puck**
Are you sure?
**[05:00] Erica**
Yay! Yay! Yay, yay, yay!
**[05:02] Puck**
That was a pretty empty promise.
**[05:06] ---**
Yay!
**[05:07] Guts**
*It's a half-assed promise.*
**[05:09] Erica**
Yay! Yay!
**[05:10] Guts**
*As soon as we got Casca back...*
**[05:12] Guts**
*No.*
**[05:13] Guts**
* Even when I was swinging my*
* sword to get her back,*
**[05:18] Guts**
*I...*
**[05:21] Guts**
*When he appeared before me,*
**[05:23] Guts**
*he wasn't in demon form, but human.*
**[05:27] Guts**
* As if he'd shown up just*
* as he'd been back then.*
**[05:31] Guts**
*The moment I saw him,
I forgot all my malice.*
**[05:36] Guts**
*And that is unforgivable!*
**[05:40] Guts**
*It was an aimless journey.*
**[05:43] Guts**
*All I had were strange rumors*
**[05:45] Guts**
* and the faint presence*
* I felt from the brand.*
**[05:48] Guts**
*I had no idea where he was...*
**[05:50] Guts**
* No... I searched for his*
* shadow, not in this world,*
**[05:53] Guts**
*pushing through souls of the dead.*
**[05:56] Guts**
*But now, he's in the same world as I am.*
**[06:01] Guts**
*Treading the same ground I do.*
**[06:04] Guts**
*Within the reach of my sword!*
**[06:10] Erica**
I just remembered we
have a guest right now.
**[06:13] Guts**
A guest?
**[06:14] Erica**
Yeah, he's apparently an old
acquaintance of Rickert's.
**[06:19] Erica**
He said he was a friend from
when Rickert was a soldier,
**[06:22] Erica**
so maybe you know him, too.
**[06:26] Erica**
He has long, silver hair.
**[06:28] Erica**
And he's so pretty, I could
hardly believe he's a man!
**[06:33] Erica**
He looks like he stepped
out of a fairy tale.
**[06:43] Rickert**
I still can't believe it.
**[06:45] Rickert**
That day, no one other than
Guts and Casca came back.
**[06:50] Rickert**
Judeau, Corkus, Pippin...
**[06:53] Rickert**
No one...
**[06:55] Rickert**
I don't know what happened that day.
**[06:59] Rickert**
Guts won't tell me.
**[07:01] Rickert**
I thought everything had ended...
**[07:06] Rickert**
But to think we'd meet again!
**[07:14] Rickert**
Guts!
**[07:26] Rickert**
Guts?
**[07:28] Rickert**
Wait a minute!
**[07:30] Guts**
Out of the way, Rickert!
**[07:31] Rickert**
No! How could you suddenly
attack him like that?
**[07:34] Rickert**
He's Griffith... He's our Griffith!
**[07:39] Rickert**
How could you?
**[07:41] Guts**
He's not the Griffith you knew anymore!
**[07:48] Rickert**
What are you talking about?
**[07:49] Guts**
Just get out of the way!
**[07:51] Rickert**
No! What's going on?!
**[07:54] Griffith**
I see you haven't changed.
**[07:56] Griffith**
Your sword still moves before your mouth.
**[07:59] Griffith**
No, actually...
**[08:01] Guts**
*Don't talk about me...*
**[08:03] Griffith**
It is exactly as it was when we met.
**[08:06] Guts**
* With the same face, the same*
* laugh, the same voice!*
**[08:10] Guts**
You bastard... Why the hell
did you come here?
**[08:15] Griffith**
To see you.
**[08:18] Griffith**
Back at that tower, it was rather chaotic.
**[08:21] Griffith**
So I had no chance to speak to you alone.
**[08:25] Griffith**
I thought this place more fitting,
**[08:27] Griffith**
since we Band of the Hawk have reunited.
**[08:31] Guts**
Don't you dare say that name!
**[08:36] Griffith**
I came to learn...
**[08:38] Griffith**
If I stood before you, in my new body,
**[08:42] Griffith**
whether my heart would be moved.
**[08:48] Griffith**
It appears that I... am free.
**[08:54] Guts**
Nothing...
**[08:56] Guts**
For what you did...
**[08:57] Guts**
For all those you betrayed...
**[09:00] Guts**
You're saying you feel nothing at all?!
**[09:04] Griffith**
I shan't betray my dream.
**[09:07] Griffith**
That is all.
**[09:14] Zodd**
It's been a while, Black Swordsman.
**[09:19] Guts**
Zodd!
**[09:29] Erica**
What's the matter, Casca?
**[09:31] Puck**
This presence!
**[09:40] Rickert**
* He managed to stop a swing from*
* that giant blade Guts has?*
**[09:44] Rickert**
*Who is that man?*
**[09:50] Zodd**
Well done in surviving,
despite my prediction.
**[09:54] Zodd**
This makes me happy, boy!
**[10:17] Zodd**
Very good.
**[10:19] Zodd**
As a human, you've done
well to gain such a form.
**[10:22] Zodd**
I wanted to face you again like this,
**[10:26] Zodd**
once you'd lived through that carnage.
**[10:28] Guts**
What's going on?
**[10:30] Guts**
Why are you with Griffith?
**[10:33] Guts**
Get out of my way!
**[10:35] Guts**
I have business with Griffith.
**[10:37] Zodd**
Words are meaningless.
Force your way through.
**[10:47] Guts**
*Such strength with his sword.*
**[10:48] Guts**
*If I stay on defense, he'll crush me.*
**[10:58] Guts**
*If I blink, my head will be split open.*
**[11:02] Guts**
*Matching his blows is rattling my bones.*
**[11:05] Guts**
*I can't just absorb this force!*
**[11:08] Guts**
*But I can fight.*
**[11:10] Guts**
* The countless nights trying to reach*
* him have built me up to this point!*
**[11:14] Guts**
*You're just in the way!*
**[11:17] Rickert**
*It's so intense...*
**[11:18] Rickert**
* I've never seen a fight like this,*
* not even on the battlefield.*
**[11:22] Rickert**
* Guts has grown stronger. So much*
* that I can't even imagine.*
**[11:26] Rickert**
* He's handling that giant*
* blade like it's nothing.*
**[11:29] Rickert**
* But that rage... That fury is*
* directed toward Griffith?*
**[11:34] Rickert**
*But why?*
**[11:38] Rickert**
My...
**[11:45] Rickert**
Not good!
**[11:56] Rickert**
*This battle is unbelievable.*
**[11:58] Rickert**
*That man is amazing, too.*
**[12:00] Rickert**
*But Guts makes decisions in a second.*
**[12:03] Rickert**
* Life or death battles... Guts has*
* survived them countless times.*
**[12:13] Griffith**
*My blood should have frozen over.*
**[12:17] Griffith**
*Are these feelings from the infant*
**[12:20] Griffith**
*that fused into my vessel?*
**[12:30] Zodd**
Well done.
**[12:32] Zodd**
Even as a human, you survived the eclipse.
**[12:35] Zodd**
That strength saw you through
fights with apostles.
**[12:40] Zodd**
It seems this horse-slaying sword
I stole from the Kushans
**[12:44] Zodd**
really is no match for your
demon-slaying sword.
**[12:49] Zodd**
A splendid blade and splendid technique.
**[12:52] Guts**
*I'm just getting started!*
**[12:54] Zodd**
I haven't had enough yet.
**[13:02] Zodd**
I haven't devoured enough!
**[13:06] Rickert**
*Zodd?*
**[13:08] Rickert**
*There's no doubt about it.*
**[13:09] Rickert**
*That... That man...*
**[13:13] Rickert**
*He's Nosferatu Zodd.*
**[13:18] Rickert**
*What's going on?*
**[13:48] Rickert**
Guts!
**[13:55] Rickert**
That's...
**[13:56] Rickert**
Master Godo's mine!
**[14:02] Erica**
Hey, Casca...
**[14:04] Erica**
Jeez, walking off on your own again!
**[14:10] Guts**
You idiot! Stay away!
**[14:12] Erica**
Guts? There was a really loud noise.
**[14:39] Erica**
A monster!
**[14:44] Guts**
Casca!
**[14:50] Guts**
Cas—
**[14:53] Erica**
Casca!
**[15:20] Guts**
*Stop...*
**[15:32] Griffith**
Enough.
**[15:34] Griffith**
Let's go.
**[15:46] Guts**
Wait! Where are you—
**[15:48] Griffith**
I told you. I shall claim my kingdom.
**[15:53] Griffith**
Nothing has changed.
**[16:02] Griffith**
Rickert...
**[16:05] Griffith**
Nothing has ended.
**[16:08] Griffith**
After learning the truth,
if you loathe me, so be it.
**[16:11] Griffith**
But even still,
**[16:14] Griffith**
if you wish to pursue our dream,
I have no reason to refuse.
**[16:21] Rickert**
Wait... I don't understand!
**[16:24] Rickert**
What's the truth?!
**[16:33] Rickert**
Guts, no!
**[16:35] Guts**
Move, Rickert!
**[16:37] Guts**
Nothing has changed?
**[16:39] Guts**
You did all that...
**[16:41] Guts**
And nothing has changed?!
**[16:44] Griffith**
You should have known
**[16:46] Griffith**
that I was this kind of man.
**[16:49] Griffith**
You of all people.
**[16:57] Rickert**
Guts... Tell me.
**[17:00] Rickert**
On that day, what happened
to Griffith and the others?
**[17:04] Rickert**
I have a right to know, don't I?!
**[17:07] Rickert**
No, I need to know...
**[17:10] Rickert**
Guts!
**[17:22] Rickert**
Is that true?
**[17:27] Rickert**
How is... How is something like that...
**[17:31] Puck**
*I had an idea, but...*
**[17:34] Puck**
*I see. That image was from that time.*
**[17:44] Erica**
Aw, it all caved in.
**[17:47] Erica**
What now?
**[17:48] Erica**
Just when we were together,
Guts and Casca's home...
**[17:51] Rickert**
I'll go with you.
**[17:53] Rickert**
You've been carrying
all that weight alone.
**[17:56] Rickert**
While I just stayed here, clueless...
**[18:01] Rickert**
Take me with you!
**[18:02] Rickert**
I'm a part of the Band of the—
**[18:03] Guts**
No.
**[18:04] Rickert**
Why not?!
**[18:06] Guts**
You don't loathe Griffith.
**[18:10] Erica**
You're leaving?!
**[18:13] Erica**
Everyone...
**[18:14] Erica**
Everyone's leaving?
**[18:17] Rickert**
Erica!
**[18:19] Puck**
Hurry and go after her.
**[18:29] Puck**
So, what are we going to do?
**[18:31] Puck**
Continue on
**[18:33] Puck**
this journey of revenge?
**[18:35] Guts**
I won't leave Casca behind again.
**[18:37] Puck**
You're taking Casca with you?
**[18:39] Guts**
I know.
**[18:41] Guts**
I know that it's impossible...
**[18:43] Puck**
But the elven mine is destroyed.
**[18:46] Puck**
So isn't staying here more impossible?
**[18:50] Puck**
If two branded people stay
in one place for too long,
**[18:54] Puck**
we know bad things will happen,
given the Tower of Conviction.
**[18:58] Guts**
Aren't there other nearby
places where elves live?
**[19:01] Puck**
Maybe so, but will you keep
Casca locked up until then?
**[19:05] Puck**
That isn't very nice.
**[19:06] Puck**
She ran away because she didn't
want that, didn't she?
**[19:10] Puck**
I'll just have to search my
elven pearls of wisdom.
**[19:15] Puck**
Oh, I know!
**[19:17] Puck**
It's a bit far, but it's a beautiful paradise.
**[19:20] Puck**
Probably the safest place in the world!
**[19:22] Guts**
Where's that?
**[19:23] Puck**
My home.
**[19:41] Soldier 1**
Stop...
**[19:42] Soldier 3**
Help!
**[19:50] Woman 1**
What's going to happen to us?
**[19:52] Woman 4**
I heard a rumor that
**[19:54] Woman 4**
Kushans offer women as
sacrifices to their god.
**[19:57] Woman 1**
No, that's...
**[19:58] Woman 2**
No matter how you see it,
the kingdom is finished.
**[20:01] Woman 1**
The Band of the Hawk... If only
that man were here...
**[20:04] Woman 2**
It's a bit late for that now.
**[20:07] Sonja**
He's coming.
**[20:08] Woman 2**
Huh?
**[20:09] Sonia**
Someone will save us soon.
**[20:11] Woman 1**
What are you talking about?
**[20:12] Woman 2**
After seeing her parents burned alive,
I wonder if she's lost her mind.
**[20:17] Sonia**
He's coming.
**[20:18] Sonia**
The Hawk of Light is coming.
**[20:21] Sonia**
That's what the wind is whispering.
**[20:25] Kushan General**
To think your clan was unable
to capture a single man.
**[20:29] Kushan General**
How pathetic the Bakiraka are.
**[20:32] Kushan General**
And you have the nerve to say he got
on a demon and disappeared.
**[20:37] Silat**
If I may have a word.
**[20:38] Silat**
I heard that this invasion began because
the oracle received a prophecy.
**[20:43] Silat**
So this paranormal phenomenon
shouldn't be strange—
**[20:48] Kushan General**
You are as slaves, from traitorous groups,
**[20:52] Kushan General**
that think yourselves soldiers!
**[20:55] Kushan General**
I'm sure the Emperor promoted
such as you to soldiers in jest.
**[20:59] Kushan General**
To think he'd give you a mission
on a whim, as well...
**[21:06] Kushan General**
Wh-Wh-What are you doing—
**[21:09] Silat**
I have a more pressing matter,
so if you'll excuse me.
**[21:13] Remnant Soldier 1**
We failed.
**[21:14] Remnant Soldier 2**
Run—
**[21:18] Remnant Soldier 1**
Damn it!
**[21:26] Silat**
Please pardon me.
**[21:28] Kusahn General**
*Such skill... Are they monsters?*
**[21:32] Silat**
We will now continue our
search for the hawk.
**[21:51] Sonia**
*That's...*
**[23:25] Erica**
Take care!
**[23:27] Erica**
Make sure you protect her, Guts!
**[23:31] Guts**
* When I fled the Band of the Hawk,*
* it was also in snow like this.*
**[23:37] Guts**
* This time, I guess I was*
* the one left behind.*
**[23:44] Guts**
*I won't leave you again...*
**[23:49] Guts**
*I won't lose you this time.*
