"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." "Feel no shame about shape." "Weather changes their 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..." "Don't know why..." "Don't know why you're afraid." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what you'd say." "I don't know why..." "Don't know why..." "Too late..." "It's too late." "Zodd the Immortal" "Message!" "We have successfully brought the enemy castle under control!" "And the castle's commander?" "We have not yet reached him..." "The Raiders, under Guts's command, are laying siege to the castle's keep, but..." "Due to the one immensely powerful soldier who is with the enemy we cannot clear a path!" "Only one?" "Cut off by one soldier?" "What a pathetic commander!" "Zodd..." "What?" "What was that, Judeau?" "It's something I heard about before we joined the war effort." "It's said Nosferatu Zodd sometimes fights among the enemy lines..." "Nosferatu..." "Zodd the Immortal?" "Zodd?" "Zodd the Immortal?" "Who is he?" "Haven't you heard of him, Pippin?" "Zodd the Immortal..." "He is well-known as a legendary fighter among mercenaries." "They say he's taken the heads of hundreds or even thousands in battle..." "And that's not the only reason why he is feared..." "Sometimes he returns to battle after reportedly being killed in another one." "Believe it or not, he's been around for nearly a hundred years according to the accounts of his exploits." "A hundred years?" "That is why he is called Zodd the Immortal." "Hey, give me a break!" "You aren't going to take that kind of fairy tale seriously, are you Ricky boy?" "But as a matter of fact some mercenaries worship Zodd as the God of Battle!" "Okay, okay..." "I don't like the look of the sky..." "Let go of me, Gaston!" "No way, Commander!" "Hey, you all gotta help me stop the commander!" "Y-You!" "I won't let you go no matter what!" "We just can't let our commander go in alone!" "Shut up!" "Don't touch me!" "Just wait!" "We should wait a little bit more!" "Don't be an idiot!" "It's been almost two hours since I sent out fifty of my soldiers!" "I can't leave them!" "Then..." "Please ask Captain Griffith for reinforcements!" "Do it if you dare but I'll kill you!" "One soldier!" "One soldier has nailed down all five hundred of our raiders!" "We cannot move forward like this!" "This is completely humiliating!" "C-Commander!" "D-Dillos!" "Commander Guts, it's Dillos!" "Dillos!" "It's Dillos!" "Dillos, are you okay?" "Commander!" "Dillos..." "C-Commander!" "Hang on!" "Zodd..." "What?" "What did you say, Dillos?" "Zodd the Immortal!" "Zodd?" "So that rumor was true after all..." "Hey, we're in big trouble..." "Commander..." "H-Hold on a minute, Commander!" "Stay back!" "Make sure no one follows me." "I will settle this alone..." "Commander..." "What the hell..." "What..." "What the hell is this?" "You evaded my strike well, boy." "Amazing..." "A monster..." "I'll go take a look inside." "The rest of you, stay here and wait." "B-But..." "I'll go with you." "Don't worry, I will definitely bring Guts back." "Now move out!" "Yes, sir!" "During the last fifty years, no one could defend against my moves like you can." "He is stronger than any swordsman I have ever fought..." "He is far stronger..." "He is the strongest..." "No, that's not it, his strength is more than human." "What can I do?" "I can't evade his strikes much longer." "I've only been able to defend myself so far because of my blade's size." "Just one of his strikes would easily cleave a normal sword." "So the strength of our weapons is at least equal..." "I see..." "You intend to gamble your life on a single strike..." "It looks like you are going to try for one final opportunity by relying on the length of your blade." "But your idea is flawed." "Your brains will be scattered across this room before you reach me." "Sounds like fun!" "I accept your challenge!" "You brat!" "This is the first time..." "That my body has been so deeply stabbed with a sword of a human like you..." "Throughout my three hundred years of slaughtering, you are the first who has stabbed me like this." "I'm getting excited!" "You've made my blood boil as it has not in many years." "To feel like this once again..." "To meet an opponent like you..." "For the past three hundred years, I have lived for this!" "Now, fight with me!" "You must not let me down!" "It's impossible..." "There's no way that a monster like this could really exist!" "What's wrong?" "Are you giving up?" "Is this the limit to your strength?" "Is there no more?" "I suppose I can say you have done very well, for a human but if you cannot fight anymore, I will tear your body into pieces!" "Griffith..." "H-Hey, what the hell is that?" "Is he Nosferatu Zodd?" "Keep your guard up!" "Another volley!" "Shoot!" "Did we get him?" "You shall not be forgiven!" "I will not forgive anyone who gets in the way of our battle!" "No hope!" "R-Run away!" "What's wrong with Griffith?" "Nobody's returned yet!" "I wonder if Zodd already killed off the commander and Sir Griffith as well..." "Don't talk nonsense, Gaston!" "It's not possible that those two were killed!" "But it's taking so long..." "What should we do, Casca?" "Keep on waiting here." "Aren't you worried about them?" "Griffith ordered us to wait." "Monster!" "All of you, retreat immediately." "C-Captain..." "Go right away!" "Captain!" "Are you all right?" "You're such a fool..." "Why did you come?" "You can complain all you like after we escape." "Why?" "Why have things come to this?" "Where are you going?" "I still can hear your heartbeat..." "Fight on!" "You must fight with me until your body is torn apart!" "Can you move?" "We'll be killed if I don't." "Good, you attack from the right!" "Let's go!" "Guts!" "We'll sprint past him towards the exit!" "Right!" "Griffith!" "What a day..." "What a day this has been!" "It's remarkable..." "I've encountered two men who are able to inflict wounds on my body..." "And to think I'll lose them both at the same time..." "Griffith..." "First, I'll take care of this one." "T-This is..." "The Egg of the King!" "T-That cannot be..." "A boy like him possesses the Crimson Behelit of the God Hand..." "I see!" "So that's the ploy..." "W-What's that?" "Commander..." "Griffith..." "Casca!" "All right, everyone follow her!" "Boy we'll suspend our duel for the time being." "Unfortunately, I doubt I will have another chance to fight you." "I will give you some advice..." "Or rather, I will foretell your doom..." "If you and this man truly regard each other as friends, be mindful of this..." "When this man's ambition crumbles you will be destined to face your death!" "A death you can never escape!" "W-What is that?" "A-A demon?" "Death?" "Am I going to die?" "Griffith!" "Are both of you all right?" "Guts, are you okay?" "Yeah..." "Only the two of you could survive this..." "It's terrible..." "What really happened here?" "Griffith!" "Hold on!" "Griffith!" "Griffith!" "Griffith!" "Don't touch him!" "Don't touch Griffith!" "It's your fault..." "You put Griffith in danger and almost got him killed..." "It's all your fault!" "Looking back, the morning comes." "Don't find your face in your glass." "Take the moonlight by the tail." "It's a rainy sight." "You're shading." "What is that?" "It's just the same." "What is trying your crown?" "I'm spending my glass, 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..." "Next Episode" "Providence may guide a man to meet one specific person." "Even if such guidance eventually leads him to darkness man simply cannot forsake a cherished goal." "When will man discover a way to control his own soul?" "The Sword's Owner"
