"In this world..." "Is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or Law?" "Is it like the hand of God hovering above?" "At least it is true that man has no control, even over his own will." "Oh Prince..." "Oh Prince of the eternally unforgiven..." "We greet you with honor to marvel at what you have become." "We shall meet again in another world..." "We are your kinsmen..." "Feel no shame about shape." "Weather changes the phrase." "Even mother will show you another way." "So, put your glasses on." "Nothing will be wrong." "There's no blame, there's no fame." "It's up to you." "The first words should be found." "Whatever holds you back." "I can..." "I can get it off." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what you want." "I don't know why..." "I don't know why..." "I don't know why you are afraid." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what you'd say." "I don't know why..." "I don't know why..." "Too late..." "It's too late." "Are you sure there's a secret passage in this dismal place?" "Our sources are reliable." "If this passage can be found so easily I'll give up being a mercenary." "Found it." "Giving up, huh?" "Pippin." "There's no mistake." "This is it." "Right, let's go." "Wait a minute." "I understand that Pippin and Judeau need to come along but you're the commander now, are you sure you should come?" "If something were to happen to you..." "Our mission is to rescue Griffith." "We have the highest chance of succeeding in our mission if all four of our strongest members take on the operation." "Yeah, but..." "You're worried, aren't you?" "Don't make me laugh!" "I'm a stronger swordsman than either of them." "Don't bring your personal feelings into this matter." "Obey your commander's orders!" "Remember I can still cover your back." "Don't forget." "Yeah..." "Let's go." "Griffith..." "You were always looking up to the sky thinking of nothing else but to keep climbing and soaring..." "A hawk flying alone, reaching for the highest point..." "That's right..." "You were always watching us from above..." "Never here on the ground with the rest of us..." "Calm, cool and never missing a beat." "Do you really need a reason each time I decide to lay my life on the line for you?" "Letting nothing stand in your path to victory..." "Do you think that I am dreadful?" "Griffith couldn't go on without you!" "If that's true..." "If that's the real truth..." "Then I..." "Pull yourself together." "Griffith will be back soon." "There's no way in hell I'm going to die not without seeing Griffith..." "Even if I have a thousand more stitches in me..." "Ricket, we need some more water." "Got it." "When Griffith returns..." "It'll be the resurrection of the Band of Hawk!" "Everyone is in good spirits..." "Because, Griffith will be back soon..." "As long as Griffith comes back, then..." "A fairy?" "I saw it with my very own eyes, there's no doubt." "The enemy?" "Why at this time?" "Just a little more..." "All we needed was a little more time and Griffith would be back!" "We can't let them destroy us, not now!" "Hey..." "Where is everyone?" "Run..." "Run..." "Ricket..." "It can't..." "This can't be real!" "What..." "What's going on?" "I'm amazed we learned about this secret passage." "We have supporters inside." "Wait." "Supporters of the resistance movement..." "You must be the Band of the Hawk." "We are at your service." "I am Caska of the Band of the Hawk." "What do you mean by supporters?" "They're from Princess Charlotte." "Oh..." "We don't have very much time until dawn." "We must get to where Griffith's being kept as soon as possible." "Yes." "We'll take it from here." "In this darkness not a single ray of light can find its way through." "How long have I been lying here in this darkness?" "For an eternity..." "At times it feels like just a moment..." "I feel nothing..." "It's as if my body is floating in space..." "Am I preserving my sanity?" "Or has it already been lost long ago?" "And yet in this world like a hollow shell one thing is clear in my mind..." "Him alone like lightning splitting through the darkness..." "He appears in my mind so vividly." "Over and over again like the waves of a tsunami hatred friendship jealousy frustration helplessness affection sadness..." "They all come together into a giant vortex..." "They keep my consciousness from fading away." "Guts, the cause of my confinement in this darkness..." "Will now be the source of my life!" "This man whose life was once in my hands..." "At what time did I fall under his control?" "And now..." "In my mind I see him radiating so brightly it pierces my eyes." "Guts!" "Griffith?" "Griffith?" "Is he in a different cell?" "No, he has to be here, on the lowest level." "Griffith?" "Grif..." "Gri..." "Griffith..." "The tendons in his arms and legs have been slashed..." "And his tongue..." "Caska, the keys!" "Caska!" "Stay there!" "Stay where you are!" "This isn't possible." "This can't be Griffith..." "Guts..." "Griffith!" "There's no escaping now..." "The guards and soldiers will be here any minute..." "And in a year, you'll all be looking just like him..." "You bastard..." "So you're the bastard who destroyed his body..." "That's right." "I haven't had that much fun in a long time." "You don't come across a specimen as splendid as him very often." "When you're as experienced as I am in the profession of torture." "...not only do you appreciate beauty on the surface but also the beauty that lies beneath the skin, in tendons, muscles, and veins." "He really was exquisite." "There's no use." "This door is four times thicker than your average door." "Don't move!" "Put down your weapons and surrender!" "Stick with me and don't fall back!" "Guts!" "How dare you?" "What the hell are you doing?" "Shoot them!" "You idiots!" "Who said to retreat?" "Hold your ground!" "Hurry!" "What's taking them so long!" "There's thirty of our soldiers after just four of them!" "How can it be so difficult?" "Yes, but sir they're led by that man, the hundred-man killer!" "Don't be stupid!" "You don't expect them to come here just to rescue their commander, do you?" "No..." "Besides, myths like that are born in times of war when stories get exaggerated." "There is no man in the world who can kill a hundred armed men with his sword." "At the very most, ten soldiers." "That is definitely him..." "The ruthless commander of the Band of the Hawk..." "Guts!" "It's Hundred-Man Guts himself!" "Surround him, what are you waiting for?" "Seize him!" "But sir..." "You idiots!" "He's been swinging his huge sword around and chasing after our men..." "He's out of breath." "You fools!" "If your enemy sees you hesitating, you've already lost the battle." "Taste battle, and pay for this lesson on ruthlessness with your life." "Guts!" "Advance!" "Where are they?" "See, it's too much for just the four of them..." "No..." "You're wrong, they'll be back." "I'm sure of it." "Guts..." "What a disgrace!" "If we let them get away the King will not forgive us." "Pursue them!" "We'll get ahead of them and wait for their arrival." "Yes sir!" "Looking back, the morning comes." "Don't find your face in your glass." "Take the moonlight by the tail." "It's a rainy sight that you're shading." "What is that?" "It's just the same." "What is trying on your crown?" "I'm spending my glass and walking back." "So wear my glass, you're fading." "I'm waiting so long." "I'm waiting so long." "I'm waiting so long." "I'm waiting..." "Beloved thoughts..." "The will to live..." "All is lost at the end of their journey." "Their hearts bleed full of regret and sorrow as they stand idle." "In this world, will mankind survive?" "Can only the wind foretell the end of their dreams?"
