[00:00] Man
    Yeah, struggle!
[00:02] Man
    It's more fun when they fight!
[00:11] Man
    What's with her?
[00:13] Luca
    Hey, you guys!
[00:15] Nina
    Luca...
[00:16] Men
    Huh?
[00:19] Men
    What?
[00:21] Men
    Hey, what's wrong?
[00:22] Men
    Starving!
[00:29] Luca
    Wh-What's going on here?
[00:34] Cultists
    Meat! Meat!
[00:36] Luca
    Elaine!
[00:49] Luca
    Elaine, you...
[00:52] Man
    A witch...
[00:54] Man
    She's a witch.
[01:03] Luca
    Like I said, you're just causing trouble.
[01:06] Cultists
    Don't say that. Please accept.
[01:08] Cultists
    Please give this to...
[01:09] Luca
    You aren't giving me a choice.
[01:11] Luca
    I'll take it, but I don't need the
    attention in broad daylight.
[01:15] Luca
    Leave for now, will you?
[01:19] Luca
    This isn't good...
[01:24] Nina
    Luca, what will we do?
[01:26] Nina
    At this rate, someone will report us.
[01:29] Nina
    Even if they don't, we'll be
    noticed by the heretic hunters.
[01:32] Nina
    It's just a matter of time!
[01:33] Nina
    And when... When that
    happens, what then?
[01:36] Nina
    I mean, I'm actually a—
[01:37] Luca
    Hey, Nina... Calm down—
[01:39] Nina
    How can I?!
[01:40] Nina
    Even if that doesn't happen,
[01:42] Nina
    if they find Joachim's body, I'll be...
[01:47] Luca
    Nina...
[01:49] Nina
    Let's abandon her.
[01:50] Luca
    Huh?
[01:51] Nina
    Let's abandon that girl.
[01:54] Luca
    Nina, not this again!
[01:56] Nina
    This isn't going to work!
[01:57] Nina
    If we let that girl stick around,
[01:59] Nina
    we'll be finished for sure!
[02:01] Nina
    It'll be fine...
[02:02] Nina
    Elaine will be fine on her own!
[02:04] Nina
    She's really special, you see?!
[02:06] Nina
    I bet my people will treat her well
    if we leave her with them!
[02:09] Nina
    We've already taken care of her enough!
[02:13] Luca
    No way will I abandon anyone.
[02:16] Luca
    Not you or Elaine.
[02:18] Nina
    Luca...
[02:20] Lucy
    Help, Luca!
[02:22] Luca
    What's wrong?
[02:23] Lucy
    Pepe's...
[02:23] Lucy
    Pepe's been taken by the hunters!
SIGN    The Black Witch
[03:56] Pepe
    No! Let me go!
[03:59] Man
    Shut up!
[04:00] Man
    We've had a report!
[04:01] Man
    During your trial, you can contest
    the claims as much as you like.
[04:04] Refugees
    That's a girl with Luca.
[04:05] Fuque
    Pepe...
[04:06] Refugees
    Come to think of it, they've been
    doing well for themselves lately.
[04:08] Pepe
    I'll be raped!
[04:10] Pepe
    I'll be killed!
[04:11] Pepe
    Oh, God!
[04:12] Men
    Damn you commoners...
[04:15] Men
    Shut up, will you?!
[04:17] Men
    You filthy lot never say a word
    of prayer in your lives.
[04:21] Men
    But once you're in trouble, you take God's
    name in vain without hesitation.
[04:25] Men
    How wretched!
[04:26] Men
    How servile!
[04:27] Men
    You shameless worm!
[04:30] Luca
    Don't be so high and mighty
    when you're catching people
[04:33] Luca
    without risking a hair on your head!
[04:35] Pepe
    Luca...
[04:37] Fuque
    Luca...
[04:38] Lucy
    Please have mercy.
[04:40] Man
    Oh?
[04:41] Man
    If you defend her,
    you will also be imprisoned.
[04:46] Luca
    Now you're threatening people again, to shut
    them up when they try to say anything.
[04:51] Luca
    You flash your swords.
[04:53] Luca
    You judge people from your comfortable towers.
[04:55] Luca
    Do you people think you're angels or something?
[04:58] Man
    Is that all you have to say, miss?
[05:01] Fuque
    Pepe!
[05:01] Lucy
    Luca!
[05:07] Man
    Who would dare?
[05:16] Man
    You're...
[05:18] Knights
    The Black Swordsman!
[05:19] Luca
    The Black Swordsman?
[05:22] Man
    How opportune...
[05:24] Man
    This must be God's grace at work.
[05:26] Man
    We won't let you go this—
[05:28] Guts
    Based on what that woman said,
[05:31] Guts
    you seem to be the one
    leading the witch hunt.
[05:33] Guts
    Answer me.
[05:35] Guts
    Among the ones you captured, was there
    a woman with a brand on her chest?
[05:40] Luca
    A brand?
[05:42] Man
    I... I don't know!
[05:44] Knights
    How dare you?
[05:51] Refugees
    W-Wow...
[05:53] Refugees
    He cut them in half!
[05:56] Ishi
    Hey, ladies.
[05:58] Ishi
    Let's get going.
[05:59] Ishi
    Hey, your speech was pretty cool.
[06:02] Ishi
    I think I'm falling for you!
[06:03] Luca
    Who's this monkey?
[06:05] P
    This is my property. He's Dropey, my villa.
[06:08] Ishi
    Who're you calling "Dropey"?
[06:09] P
    And the one causing trouble
[06:11] P
    is Guts, my main estate, Black Iron Castle.
[06:12] Luca
    There's something...
[06:14] Pepe
    ...weird.
[06:15] G
    You call this a holy land?
[06:17] G
    What a bad joke.
[06:19] G
    It's more like a dump.
[06:21] P
    Sorry for my delayed introduction.
    My name is Puck.
[06:24] P
    I own both properties.
[06:34] Luca
    None of this makes any sense.
[06:36] P
    Okay, please stay still.
[06:38] Pepe
    My pain's going away...
[06:39] Knights
    Out! Out of the way!
[06:40] Knights
    Open the way!
[06:41] Knights
    Report this to the main troops!
[06:42] G
    Asking a peon's getting me nowhere.
[06:46] G
    I'll just have to go over there myself.
[06:49] Luca
    A woman with a brand.
    Is that what you said?
[06:54] G
    Do you know her?
[06:56] P
    Hey, Guts...
[06:57] Luca
    First, thank you for—
[06:58] G
    I don't give a shit about that!
[07:00] Luca
    That's the same as the one on our Elaine.
[07:04] G
    Tell me...
[07:05] G
    Where is she? Where is Casca?!
[07:15] Nina
    Luca's late.
[07:17] Nina
    Is she okay?
[07:23] Nina
    If Luca's been caught,
[07:26] Nina
    what will I do?
[07:28] Nina
    That's right.
[07:30] Nina
    If that's what happened,
    and the heretic hunters come...
[07:35] Nina
    I have to run now!
[07:44] Nina
    Let's abandon that girl.
[07:46] Nina
    We've already taken care of her enough!
[07:54] Nina
    I...
[07:55] Nina
    Why am I like this?
[08:01] Nina
    Elaine, come with me.
[08:04] Nina
    Don't worry. I'll take care of you.
[08:07] Nina
    I can't leave you behind.
[08:10] Nina
    It's scary and lonely alone.
[08:16] G
    Casca...
[08:20] G
    I feel like decades have passed
    since I last saw you.
[08:24] G
    Are you still the same as before?
[08:27] G
    The same as when you broke,
[08:30] ---
    and time ground to a halt?
[08:34] P
    Oh, so that's her.
[08:38] Luca
    Hey, sir.
[08:40] Luca
    What are you to Elaine... I mean, Casca?
[08:48] Luca
    Hey!
[08:51] Luca
    Well, never mind.
[08:52] Luca
    I kind of figured it out.
[08:58] Fuque
    Elaine! Nina!
[09:00] Luca
    Don't just stand there. Go inside.
[09:06] Fuque
    Huh?
[09:08] Fuque
    No one's here.
[09:12] Lucy
    Oh, no! Were the heretic hunters here?
[09:15] Luca
    But the place isn't ransacked.
[09:17] Fuque
    Nina's things are missing.
[09:20] Luca
    Wait, did she...
[09:23] G
    Casca!
[09:36] Nina
    I'm okay...
[09:38] Nina
    Let's go.
[09:43] Priest
    We have come to welcome
    you, Lady Priestess.
[09:47] Nina
    You...
[10:00] Ishi
    Ha.
[10:00] Ishi
    Even if we split up to find her,
    this place's too big...
[10:04] P
    Dropey, why do you keep following Guts?
[10:06] P
    You're even helping him look for someone.
[10:09] Ishi
    And why are you on top of my head?
[10:11] P
    You wouldn't recognize Casca on your own.
[10:15] Ishi
    And you know what she looks like?
[10:17] P
    I saw her with my mind.
[10:20] Refugees
    What's that?
[10:21] Refugees
    Don't look!
[10:22] Ishi
    Aren't you scaring the shit out of everyone?
[10:24] P
    They're all scaredy-cats.
[10:26] P
    Still, it's strange.
[10:27] P
    In places with lots of people, I should
    become harder to see.
[10:31] P
    I wonder if this place is special.
[10:33] Ishi
    Anyway, I don't get this whole
    witch hunt or whatever deal,
[10:37] Ishi
    but everyone's so scared!
[10:39] Ishi
    Man, talk about a shit-show.
[10:41] Ishi
    After running from the Kushans,
[10:43] Ishi
    they have to fear being reported.
[10:45] Ishi
    They're drowning in quicksand.
[10:47] P
    And you're different, Dropey?
[10:48] Ishi
    'Course I am!
[10:49] Ishi
    This is a great chance for a man
    to advance in the world.
[10:52] Ishi
    I don't need money to start, either.
[10:54] Ishi
    This is good enough.
[10:55] P
    That's why you want to be Guts' apprentice?
[10:58] Ishi
    You don't get it.
[10:59] Ishi
    If I have to bow and scrape
    to someone just to learn...
[11:03] Ishi
    I'd rather follow them around and
    steal their skills like a man!
[11:08] P
    You're a thief, through and through, huh?
[11:11] Ishi
    Well, but if I do him a favor here,
[11:14] Ishi
    I won't have to sneak around.
[11:16] Ishi
    It's all about give and take, you know?
[11:18] Ishi
    Hmm?
[11:20] Nina
    Let me go!
[11:22] Ishi
    A bandaged woman...
[11:23] Ishi
    Are they being kidnapped?
[11:25] P
    What should we do?
[11:26] Ishi
    If we go back to tell Guts, we'll lose them.
[11:29] Ishi
    But we can't take on that
    many people, either...
[11:33] Ishi
    For now,
[11:35] ---
    we'll follow them.
[11:36] P
    Your specialty.
[11:47] Knights
    We have news.
[11:51] F
    The heretics' lair?
[11:53] Knights
    This one claims he managed to escape,
    after being abducted by heretics.
[11:58] Knights
    Based on his account and
    description of the place,
[12:00] Knights
    he seems to be telling the truth.
[12:02] F
    Very well, we shall go forth!
[12:04] Knights
    There is another report.
[12:05] F
    What?
[12:06] Knights
    Some of our men, transporting heretics
    from the refugee camp,
[12:10] ---
    have been attacked.
[12:12] Knights
    There have been several casualties.
[12:13] Azan
    How many enemies are we talking about?
[12:15] Knights
    According to the knights
    who retreated, only one.
[12:18] F
    What?
[12:19] Knights
    A giant man in black, with a
    sword as long as he is tall.
[12:22] Azan
    The Black Swordsman...
[12:24] Azan
    Is this true?
[12:25] Knights
    Yes, sir. We believe so.
[12:28] Azan
    This must be God's hand at work!
[12:31] Azan
    We will not let him go a second time!
[12:33] F
    Unfortunately, we must ask you
    to take us to the heretics' lair.
[12:37] ---
    Of course.
[12:50] Ishi
    Bingo.
[12:52] Ishi
    Guess this is the heretics' lair.
[12:56] Priest
    Hear me!
[12:58] Priest
    Tonight will be a holy night,
    which will be retold by posterity.
[13:02] Priest
    That tower has become a source of clever lies,
[13:04] Priest
    a den for swine who seek
    to oppress and rule us!
[13:10] Priest
    But we know the truth.
[13:12] Priest
    We know whom we should truly worship.
[13:15] Priest
    We know who possesses true power!
[13:18] Priest
    In advance of the promised day,
[13:20] Priest
    our master has given us a sign tonight!
[13:28] P
    It's Casca!
[13:29] Ishi
    That's her...
[13:31] Priest
    It is our priestess, the Black Witch!
[13:35] Priest
    She is the symbol of our faith.
[13:39] Priest
    She is a miracle in herself!
[13:41] Priest
    And on this joyous eve,
[13:43] Priest
    one of the faithful will be fortunate
    enough to receive more honor
[13:46] ---
    than she deserves!
[13:49] Nina
    No!
[13:50] Nina
    Let me go!
[13:51] P
    It's the girl who was with Casca!
[13:53] Ishi
    Hey, hey, hey, hey.
[13:54] Ishi
    I think something bad's gonna happen.
[13:56] Priest
    Rejoice, Daughter Nina.
[13:59] Priest
    Your sin, in trying to keep her to yourself,
[14:02] Priest
    will be redeemed by your act of duty.
[14:05] Priest
    We will now remove this one's heart,
[14:08] Priest
    as an offering to the witch.
[14:10] Priest
    After, we will have her consummate
    her union with our Great Goat,
[14:14] Priest
    to become a true member of our family!
[14:18] Ishi
    Shit's getting real!
[14:21] P
    What now, what now, what now?
[14:23] Ishi
    If we try to get Guts now,
    we won't be back in time!
[14:33] Ishi
    Hey, Puck...
[14:35] Ishi
    I'll buy us time.
[14:37] Ishi
    Fly as fast as you can, and get Guts.
[14:40] P
    I didn't know you had actual skills.
[14:43] Ishi
    Shut up!
[14:45] Ishi
    I kind of have the advantage here, you know?
[14:50] Nina
    Oh, no...
[14:51] Nina
    N-No!
[14:57] P
    Oh, nice! Well done!
[14:58] Ishi
    You think better of me now?
[15:00] Ishi
    I'd rather not have gone this
    route if I could've helped it.
[15:04] Ishi
    It's a cheap trick for a man who's gonna
    make it big with his sword!
[15:07] P
    A thief... who throws rocks...
[15:11] P
    "Isidoro" means "rock-throwing thief"!
[15:13] Ishi
    I knew you'd say that.
[15:15] Ishi
    Hey, you cultist asses!
[15:17] Ishi
    Quit your rites and shit in that
    crappy, moldy hole of yours!
[15:20] Ishi
    I'm gonna report you!
[15:22] Ishi
    Okay, go, Puck!
[15:23] P
    Roger.
[15:24] P
    Throw!
[15:24] P
    Throw until your iron left arm breaks!
[15:26] Ishi
    Make sure you talk me up to Guts!
[15:31] Priest
    Drag him down!
[15:32] Priest
    We'll sacrifice him, too.
[15:35] Ishi
    Ha!
[15:36] Ishi
    You worthless shits can't do anything
    unless you're in a mob!
[15:38] Ishi
    You're the ones to be sacrificed
    to my ambition!
[15:41] Ishi
    Take that!
[15:43] Ishi
    Fools!
[15:44] Ishi
    All critical hits!
[15:47] Ishi
    Lots of rocks here.
[15:50] Ishi
    It's been a year since I left my village.
[15:52] Ishi
    Wandering aimlessly through areas where
    bandits and Kushans roamed,
[15:55] Ishi
    there were lots of near misses and
    days with no food or drink.
[15:59] Ishi
    But it's all paid off.
[16:01] Ishi
    I have a big chance for the taking,
    waiting right in front of me.
[16:05] Ishi
    There's no way I'm gonna miss it.
[16:07] Ishi
    As long as I can get through this,
[16:09] Ishi
    I can achieve my goal!
[16:11] Ishi
    I will win, no matter what it takes!
[16:14] Priest
    What're you all doing?!
[16:16] Nina
    That boy... What is he doing?
[16:19] Nina
    Elaine, let's get out while we can.
[16:21] Nina
    What's wrong?
[16:33] Ishi
    What the hell?
[16:38] Nina
    Elaine?
[16:52] Joachim
    That's the place.
[16:55] F
    Good!
[16:55] F
    Units one through four, follow me!
[16:58] F
    The rest of you, spread out
    and cover the entrance.
[17:00] F
    Capture all who attempt escape!
[17:02] F
    Forward!
[17:03] F
    Subdue them!
[17:10] Knights
    Heretics!
[17:12] Knights
    Resistance will be dealt with harshly!
[17:15] Cult
    Help...
[17:18] F
    Wh-What?
[17:23] Knights
    What's going on with them?
[17:24] Cult
    H-Help!
[17:33] F
    Wh-What?
[17:34] F
    Who are they?
[17:40] Knights
    Vice-Commander Azan!
[17:46] F
    Azan, what is going on?
[17:49] Azan
    I have heard that heretics employ
    various drugs during their rites.
[17:54] Azan
    Perhaps some of them turn men into beasts?
[18:00] F
    Drugs... I see.
[18:02] Azan
    Beware.
[18:04] Azan
    They now have the strength
    of many grown men.
[18:07] F
    Drugs?
[18:09] F
    Could drugs really be the cause?
[18:11] F
    This is like...
[18:12] F
    It reminds me of when...
[18:18] Ishi
    Special throw... It'll split
    your head right open!
[18:21] Ishi
    Yeah!
[18:23] Ishi
    But... What the hell's going on?
[18:26] Ishi
    The hunter troops are coming in droves, too.
[18:29] Ishi
    Shit's really going down now.
[18:34] Ishi
    You weirdo!
[18:37] ---
    Hup!
[18:37] ---
    Hmph!
[18:38] ---
    Take that!
[18:39] Ishi
    A-Am I gonna die?
[18:47] Ishi
    H-Hey.
[18:51] Ishi
    Okay, ladies, time to get outta here.
[18:52] Nina
    Who are you?
[18:54] Ishi
    I'm Isidoro.
[18:55] Ishi
    The details can wait!
[19:01] Nina
    Thanks.
[19:02] Ishi
    But...
[19:04] ---
    We can't go that way.
[19:07] Ishi
    Hmm?
[19:08] Ishi
    A-ha...
[19:10] Priest
    Hurry!
[19:12] Goat
    M-My horns are stuck.
[19:14] Priest
    Just leave them behind!
[19:23] Priest
    H-Help—
[19:35] Azan
    Lady Farnese!
[19:36] Azan
    This cannot continue...
[19:38] Ser
    We should retreat and regroup.
[19:42] F
    You're right.
