[00:03] Narrator
    On that day, a dying sun rose above
    the multitude of nations.
[00:15] Schierke
    "The angel is the Hawk of Darkness.
[00:19] Schierke
    He is the master of the sinful black sheep.
[00:23] Schierke
    And the king of the blind white sheep.
[00:27] Schierke
    He will usher in an age of darkness
    to cover the world."
[02:22] Farnese
    We finally found you,
[02:23] Farnese
    Black Swordsman!
[02:26] Farnese Narration
    Who was this man?
[02:28] Farnese narration
    A mere illusion, born of the people's
    fear, who did not exist in reality?
[02:34] Farnese narration
    Or were the rumors of an evil
    fugitive mere exaggerations?
[02:41] F
    We are the Holy See's Holy Iron Chain Knights.
[02:41] Farnese narration
    Or...
[02:43] Farnese narration
    Or... Was he actually an important
    figure bound up with our faith?
[02:44] F
    We have made haste, by order of
    the Miracle Certification Bureau,
[02:48] ---
    to take you to the Holy See.
[02:49] F
    You will not be harmed if you lay
    down your sword and surrender.
[02:52] F
    If not, we swear upon God
    that you will be captured!
[02:56] G
    I don't recall doing anything that'd
    make a priest arrest me.
[03:00] Narrator
    It was far too large to be called a sword.
[03:05] Narrator
    It was far too large, thick, heavy,
    and much too crude.
[03:11] Narrator
    By all accounts,
[03:14] Narrator
    it was a hulking mass of iron.
[03:17] Farnese
    This is the Black Swordsman...
[03:19] Farnese
    His malice is unmistakable.
[03:23] Farnese
    He is the one written of in Revelations.
[03:46] Farnese
    I was the one who put him down?
[03:50] Knights
    Well done, Lady Farnese.
[03:52] Knights
    You really are our Lady Commander!
[03:54] Guts
    I can't afford to be wasting time here.
[03:57] Guts
    Shit.
[04:00] Guts
    I don't have time to be playing
    nice with these lunatics.
[04:05] Guts
    Casca...
[04:07] Farnese
    Oh, God... Please guide me.
[04:13] Farnese
    You!
[04:22] Guts
    Guess I'm still at half strength.
[04:23] Knight
    Lady Farnese, we have an emergency.
[04:25] Knight
    The Black Swordsman has...
[04:26] Knight
    You—
[04:31] Guts
    Hey.
[04:32] Guts
    How the tables have turned, eh?
[04:44] Serpico
    What was that?
[04:52] Guts
    What a sad end for the former hounds.
[04:54] Guts
    They're excited by the smell of blood.
[04:59] Farnese
    Impossible.
[05:01] Farnese
    How can such things...
[05:03] guts
    ...even exist?
[05:05] Guts
    That's why I called them miracles.
[05:16] Guts
    How can you be terrified of
    such a great opportunity?
[05:18] Guts
    As a believer, don't you have some phrase?
[05:21] Guts
    You could say, "Dear God..."
[05:28] Guts
    I've had my fill of miracles.
[05:32] Guts
    Enough to make me puke.
[05:41] Guts
    For the first time in a long while, I remember
[05:44] Guts
    how it felt at the start of all this.
[05:46] Guts
    Thanks, it feels like crap.
[05:50] Guts
    See, he's finally here.
[05:53] Guts
    My target, the one you
    wanted to know about...
[05:58] Guts
    The Apostle.
[06:02] Farnese
    Apostle?
[06:03] Guts
    That's right.
[06:04] Guts
    Eradicating every last one of these Apostles...
[06:07] Guts
    That is my goal.
[06:11] Keeper
    Th-The moment that brand marked you...
[06:16] Keeper
    Your... Your fate was set in stone.
[06:23] Puck
    What's wrong with you, Guts?!
[06:25] Puck
    Do it like usual!
[06:26] Keeper
    Meat... Meat!
[06:31] Keeper
    Th-That woman... is like the lady.
[06:34] Keeper
    A noblewoman...
[06:36] Keeper
    So soft.
[06:39] Keeper
    M-Melting in your mouth...
[06:44] Puck
    The lady?
[06:47] Keeper
    Don't touch her!
[07:08] Guts
    I'll give you a clean death, so talk.
[07:12] G
    How can I find them?
[07:14] Keeper
    Them?
[07:19] G
    The God Hand.
[07:21] Keeper
    I... I don't know!
[07:23] Keeper
    I know nothing about them.
[07:28] Keeper
    They are special...
[07:31] Keeper
    R-Really, I d-don't know!
[07:35] Keeper
    I said I don't know!
[07:43] F
    I don't understand.
[07:44] F
    I can't think of anything!
[07:47] F
    Not even a single prayer!
[07:50] Keeper
    I... I don't... know...
[07:56] G
    I see.
[08:12] F
    I'll ride this horse!
[08:15] Horse
    Nope.
[08:25] Horse
    I'll ride woman.
[08:28] Horse
    Female. Meat.
[08:30] Horse
    Delicious!
[08:33] F
    No!
[08:47] Farnese Narrator
    I learned the night's secret.
[08:52] Farnese Narrator
    Pull back one thin layer called "the world,"
    and fear is undulates beneath it.
[08:58] Guts
    Don't run around if you want to live.
[09:02] Farnese
    Ye...
[09:04] Farnese
    Yes.
[09:11] Narrator
    They saw the same visions in their dreams.
[09:17] Narr
    Each enduring their own night,
[09:19] Narr
    the people were trapped in true darkness
[09:22] Narr
    that enveloped their shared world.
[09:26] Narr
    And amidst the ensuing chaos,
[09:28] Narr
    they observed with keen interest
[09:31] Narr
    a shining hawk, piercing the infinite gloom,
[09:36] Narr
    and descending upon the bloodstained land.
[09:45] Guts
    Stop!
[09:54] Guts
    Not again...
[09:59] Thing
    Danger...
[10:02] Guts
    You...
[10:03] Guts
    What the hell?
[10:05] Thing
    Danger...
[10:07] Thing
    Hurry.
[10:08] Guts
    Danger?
[10:11] Guts
    Wait, has something happened to Casca?
[10:16] Rickert
    Where are you off to now?
[10:18] G
    Have you heard of anywhere nearby
    known as "holy ground"?
[10:22] Rickert
    Holy ground, huh...
[10:24] Rickert
    Now that I think of it, an old monastery
[10:27] Rickert
    named St. Albion is three
    days northeast of here.
[10:30] Rickert
    It's called the Tower of Conviction.
[10:32] G
    The Tower of Conviction...
[10:33] Rickert
    It's full of refugees.
[10:35] Rickert
    Supposedly, heretics hid among them.
[10:38] Rickert
    So now, the Holy See is sending
    a grand inquisitor.
[10:40] Rickert
    Basically, there'll be a witch trial...
[10:45] Rickert
    I think the possibility that Casca's there is low.
[10:49] Guts
    I have my reasons.
[10:51] Guts
    I'm grasping at straws,
[10:53] Guts
    but I have to trust my instincts.
[10:54] Guts
    Later.
[11:08] Ishidoro
    That's...
[11:30] Guts
    What was that for?
[11:34] Guts
    an unexpected test of my new blade.
[11:38] Ishidoro
    He cut up those Kushan monsters
    with one strike!
[11:43] Guts
    Hey, clear the way. I'm in a hurry.
[11:45] Guts
    What's with you guys?
[11:57] Ishidoro
    A-Amazing!
[11:59] Guts
    Hey, let's go, Puck.
[12:00] Puck
    Okay.
[12:01] Puck
    Whoa!
[12:02] Puck
    W-Wait...
[12:05] Ishidoro
    He's no ordinary guy!
[12:26] Ser
    Is something wrong?
[12:28] F
    I-It's nothing!
[12:30] F
    Don't think about it.
[12:31] F
    It couldn't have been real!
[12:34] F
    I couldn't possibly do that.
[12:36] F
    It must have been a hallucination, a nightmare.
[12:39] F
    Right now, focus on escorting
    the grand inquisitor!
[12:43] F
    Even if God never graces me with a miracle,
[12:46] F
    I need but pursue my faith!
[12:49] Demon
    God is too far removed from the likes of you.
[12:52] F
    No!
[12:53] F
    I...
[12:55] Ser
    Is it just a bad mood?
[12:58] Ser
    Those monsters...
[13:00] Ser
    I didn't imagine them.
[13:03] Ser
    It pains me to say it,
[13:05] Ser
    but the Black Swordsman is too
    heavy a burden for Lady Farnese.
[13:08] Ser
    Not only was she relieved of her role
    in the Black Swordsman's pursuit
[13:12] ---
    after being blamed for his escape,
[13:13] Ser
    but the new mission is to escort that man?
[13:18] F
    Lord Mozgus, are you all right?
[13:20] F
    I apologize!
[13:22] F
    We were taken completely by surprise!
[13:23] M
    Lady Farnese, please rise.
[13:26] M
    God is generous to those who do His work.
[13:29] M
    It is fortunate that no one who serves
    the Holy See has been injured.
[13:34] M
    That is due to God's grace.
[13:42] Mozgus
    Are you having some kind of doubts?
[13:45] Farnese
    I am simply unsure.
[13:47] Farnese
    Will this mission allow us to save people?
[13:51] Farnese
    Please dismiss this as a mere initiate's ramblings.
[13:54] Farnese
    But I fear that continuing this way will
    mean that terror spreads unchecked,
[13:58] Farnese
    exhausting the people's hearts and minds.
[14:04] Mozgus
    You must not deplore difficult tasks.
[14:07] Mozgus
    You must not question God.
[14:10] Mozgus
    Though you may endure bloodshed,
    in both mind and body,
[14:13] Mozgus
    you must continue to live for God's glory.
[14:16] Mozgus
    That is faith.
[14:20] Farnese
    For God.
[14:22] Farnese
    And God alone...
[14:29] Man
    Who would dare?
[14:39] Man
    You're...
[14:40] Knights
    The Black Swordsman!
[14:42] Luca
    The Black Swordsman?
[14:44] Man
    We won't let you go this—
[14:47] Guts
    Answer me.
[14:48] Guts
    Among the ones you captured, was there
    a woman with a brand on her chest?
[14:53] Luca
    A brand?
[14:55] Man
    I... I don't know!
[14:57] Knights
    How dare you!
[15:05] Knights
    Out! Out of the way!
[15:06] Knights
    Open the way!
[15:07] Knights
    Report this to the main troops!
[15:08] Guts
    Asking a peon's getting me nowhere.
[15:12] Guts
    I'll just have to go over there myself.
[15:15] F
    Forward!
[15:16] F
    Subdue them!
[15:23] Knights
    Heretics!
[15:24] Knights
    Resistance will be dealt with harshly!
[15:28] Cult
    Help...
[15:31] F
    Wh-What?
[15:35] Knights
    What's going on with them?
[15:36] Cult
    H-Help!
[15:45] F
    Wh-What?
[15:47] F
    Who are they?
[15:52] Azan
    Beware.
[15:53] Azan
    They now have the strength
    of many grown men.
[15:57] Farnese
    Drugs?
[15:58] Farnese
    Could drugs really be the cause?
[16:00] Farnese
    This is like...
[16:02] Farnese
    It reminds me of when...
[16:17] Azan
    This is...
[16:18] Knights
    An actual monster?
[16:20] Knights
    Are they all monsters?
[16:22] Farnese
    It's like before.
[16:23] Farnese
    It's just like that night...
[17:04] Guts
    Looks like one or two arrows have no effect.
[17:10] Guts
    Guess I'll give this a try.
[17:16] Guts
    One...
[17:17] Guts
    Two.
[17:18] Guts
    Three.
[17:36] Knights
    Walk!
[17:39] Farnese
    That girl...
[17:40] Farnese
    The one the Black Knight leapt to save.
[17:46] Mozgus
    Hmm...
[17:55] Mozgus
    This is a witch's brand indeed.
[18:05] Puck
    Casca!
[18:26] Guts
    Casca...
[18:34] Guts
    What's going on here?
[18:36] Farnese
    Impossible.
[18:37] Farnese
    Only a while ago...
[18:38] Puck
    I sneaked in here to save Casca.
[18:41] Puck
    But those things came out of
    the woodwork in the room.
[18:43] Puck
    Even though she was swallowed,
    I could still sense her presence.
[18:44] Farnese
    What is he doing?
[18:46] Puck
    I think she's okay.
[18:47] Puck
    No, I'm sure of it!
[18:51] Farnese
    Wh-What is that?
[18:53] Puck
    This way.
[18:55] Farnese
    That's right...
[18:57] Farnese
    Back then...
[18:59] Guts
    Hey, you're free to go.
[19:03] Farnese
    W-Wait!
[19:05] Farnese
    I'll come, too!
[19:08] Mozgus
    So you are the famed Black Swordsman...
[19:13] Mozgus
    I do not know what you seek to accomplish,
[19:17] Mozgus
    but I cannot let you have this witch,
[19:20] Mozgus
    in the name of God's justice!
[19:25] Mozgus
    I will now burn this witch at the
    stake, for she is the origin
[19:30] Mozgus
    of all the evil now rife in this holy land.
[19:33] Mozgus
    I will put an end to these
    loathsome abominations.
[19:38] Farnese narration
    My foundation...
[19:41] Farnese narration
    What I believed in... Was it so fleeting?
[19:46] Farnese narration
    Everything that was supposed to protect me
[19:50] Farnese narration
    was easily blown away.
[19:56] Mozgus
    You fool who fears not God...
[19:59] Mozgus
    You will swiftly receive divine punishment!
[20:01] Guy
    Behold! Father Mozgus has revived!
[20:04] Guy
    He plans to fight that demon for our sakes!
[20:07] Farnese
    Father Mozgus... Your form...
[20:10] Farnese
    An angel?
[20:12] Farnese
    No, more like a monster.
[20:15] Mozgus
    Curse you!
[20:17] Mozgus
    Do you not fear God?
[20:20] Mozgus
    You dare get in the way of my
    holy mission, you devils?
[20:25] Guts
    If you want to appease your God so much,
[20:28] Guts
    why not split your head open and offer it up?!
[20:32] Guts
    I won't let you lay another
    finger on that woman.
[21:00] Guts
    If you meet your God, say this for me...
[21:03] Guts
    Leave me the hell alone!
[21:05] Mozgus
    Oh, God... I am coming home to you...
[21:14] Guts
    Fly up to heaven...
[21:18] Guts
    by your own damned self!
[21:22] Farnese narration
    That man...
[21:24] Farnese narration
    When that black knight appears...
[21:26] Farnese narration
    It all breaks.
[21:28] Farnese narration
    The world that I had known
[21:30] Farnese narration
    makes a noise,
[21:32] Farnese narration
    as it crumbles.
[21:35] Farnese
    He still stands and refuses to back down
    in this overwhelming nightmare.
[21:40] Farnese
    In all of this, he is the only certainty!
[21:43] Farnese
    O-Oh, God...
[21:45] Guts
    Don't pray!
[21:46] Guts
    If you pray, your hands are closed.
[21:48] Guts
    What's that you're holding?
[21:50] Farnese
    How can he be this way?
[21:53] Farnese
    Amidst such despair,
[21:55] Farnese
    when others cling to each other, how can he
    speak of survival, as though it's a given?
[22:32] Narrator
    In that moment,
[22:34] Narrator
    all held their breath.
[22:38] Narrator
    And all were transfixed.
[22:40] Guts
    Griffith...
[22:45] Narrator
    And all realized...
[22:48] Narrator
    That what they had desired had come.
[23:16] Jerome
    Who is he?
[23:23] Farnese
    He isn't human.
[23:25] Jerome
    Do we ever get a break?
[23:27] Azan
    What now?
[23:31] Farnese
    I'm going to follow the Black Swordsman.
[23:36] Farnese
    I am leaving the Order.
[23:40] Serpico
    Later.
[23:41] Farnese
    In the end, I could not escape
    the darkness of my childhood.
[23:47] Farnese
    Eventually, the darkness took shape
    and appeared before me.
[23:53] Farnese
    As though the fate for one
    who continues to fear
[23:59] Farnese
    is to be led by the Black Swordsman
[24:03] ---
    who stands alone in the darkness.
[24:08] Narrator
    A rift appeared in the frontier that day.
[24:12] Narrator
    Where the world's shape began to crumble.
[24:15] ---
