"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." "Now you are mine." "I don't give a damn about you." "The rear guard will be..." "Guts..." "I want you to do it." "Now, it's my job to take care of the rest!" "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." "Hey, you're up early." "You really like high places, don't you?" "Well, what do you think of the Hawks?" "What do you mean?" "Can you be part of it?" "I don't know yet." "It's different here..." "Everybody's the same in ordinary mercenary bands." "It's easy to see that their ranks are full of hoodlums and men with shady pasts." "But, I think something's different here..." "I wonder if that's true..." "If I had to explain why, I would say it's Griffith." "Everyone sincerely admires Griffith..." "Everyone expects great things to come from staying with Griffith..." "To sum it up, these men have gathered together because of Griffith's charisma." "Of course, it's kill or be killed we fight in bloody battles every day, but strange as it sounds, we can live like normal people as part of this band." "What kind of guy is Griffith really?" "I don't know." "Now, now, listen..." "I can't really describe it, but..." "I think Griffith believes in something beyond swordsmanship and tactics." "It's probably beyond his reach to turn his belief into reality within a single lifetime." "People like us could never understand it." "His belief?" "In what?" "In everything." "Hey rookie!" "Griffith's calling you!" "See ya." "Guts!" "You can definitely find your own place here." "Hey!" "Won't you join me?" "This is the best way to wake up." "No thanks." "Come on, join me." "Stop it!" "We are not kids!" "There's a good look!" "Nice try!" "They're awfully feisty so early in the day." "That was good morning exercise." "Guts, you..." "Now we're even." "All right, I surrender." "You are entirely too thick-headed." "Oh, this?" "I got this from an old fortune-teller woman long ago." "The Behelit..." "This is also known as the Egg of the King for once you possess this, you are destined to rule the world in exchange for your flesh and blood." "Rule the world?" "Catch!" "I don't know how it works, though..." "It looks alive, doesn't it?" "It's creepy..." "Isn't it fascinating?" "I didn't hear your answer yet." "Why did you come back to help me during that battle?" "I didn't want to lose an outstanding warrior like you in such trivial battle." "I put in so much work to get you." "Guts..." "You should come along with me." "Now, we've taken only a step..." "The Band of the Hawk itself, and victory in several battles..." "It's merely a first step, just the beginning." "The real fun for us has yet to come and we're ready to risk our lives for it." "I will get my own kingdom." "You must fight for me because you belong to me." "I will choose the place where you will die for me." "Get his own kingdom?" "He's not a noble or royalty, much less a knight..." "He's no more than the leader of a mercenary band of 500 or so..." "But, he talks as if all that is his due..." "The enemy numbers about one thousand." "The first unit leads, while the second and the third cover the flanks!" "First unit, charge!" "What have I really been doing for the past four years?" "Guts!" "Guts!" "Give me my spear!" "Be quick about it!" "Don't be so damn slow!" "Do you want to get me killed?" "Gambino..." "Come on, what are you doing?" "Hey Guts, why don't you use a smaller sword, one right for your size?" "Never!" "You thick-headed brat!" "We don't carry any swords for kids here anyway!" "Is it true the kid was born from a corpse?" "Yeah, Gambino's wife, Shisu found him." "That's a sign of bad luck..." "Shisu was cursed to die because she took him from a corpse." "When I swing my sword, I don't need to think about anything else..." "To the victor go all the spoils!" "Hey, Guts!" "It's your first real battle, work hard!" "Charge!" "Gambino!" "Watch your ass!" "This is not a swordplay lesson!" "Don't act like an idiot just because you took one down!" "Next!" "Gambino!" "What's up?" "Look!" "Here you go." "Well, keep it up." "Yeah!" "Go!" "We're close!" "Charge!" "Gambino!" "Gambino, look at this!" "I got the enemy commander!" "I won the whole reward!" "What about meat?" "Meat to feed him." "O-Okay..." "What is it?" "Just bring me the meat..." "Bring it right now!" "I'll go get it." "He's got it good, our Sir Gambino!" "We should all follow his example." "Hey, what did you say?" "What the hell did you say?" "J-Just kidding..." "Gambino?" "G-Gambino..." "It's unlike me to be so careless..." "I expected you to drop dead long ago." "You should be dead, bastard..." "So what happened?" "Shisu, who found you, dropped dead instead..." "And now, I'm in this miserable condition..." "This is like a joke!" "What kind of grudge do you have against me?" "You return evil for good!" "Gambino, I..." "You're a son of the devil." "A doomed child raised under an evil sign..." "You were the one who deserved to die on that day eleven years ago beneath your mother's body..." "You should have died!" "You were never more than a pest." "I hated you, following me around like a dog after you killed Shisu." "You should have died!" "Y-You killed..." "Shisu..." "G-Gambino..." "Gam..." "What happened, a night raid?" "Guts!" "What the hell is going on here?" "Don't tell me you did this..." "You, answer me!" "There's no doubt, he did it!" "Wait a minute!" "This isn't..." "You'll pay for this!" "Get him!" "What happened?" "What the..." "It's Guts!" "That kid just killed Gambino!" "You've got to be kidding!" "It's true!" "Gambino raised him for over ten years, but the kid repaid him with death." "It's no different than murdering his father!" "Why?" "Why did this happen?" "Wait!" "You murderer!" "Did we get him?" "Yeah, I think so." "Falling from this height would mean certain death anyway." "Either way, Gambino will never be able to rest in the afterlife." "I can't move my body is frozen..." "Will I die here..." "Will I..." "Where am I going?" "If I had stayed back there, I'd be better off..." "If I were dead back there..." "There would be nothing more but now, bad things are waiting..." "Where..." "It's the end the end..." "Yes, this is..." "I have not changed at all from back then..." "Just killing enemies only to survive..." "Where do I want to go?" "Where..." "Hey, are you still alive?" "Yeah, I think so." "You have the devil's own luck, no matter what you do." "Here..." "On the battlefield, a soldier's life is worth no more than a silver coin." "As if it were nothing most men's lives are controlled by a handful of nobles and royalty." "Well, even a king is really unable to live his life as he pleases..." "We all just rely upon this great flow known as fate..." "Until we eventually leave this world..." "Time will run out, and the tide of life will recede before we know who we really are." "In this world there must be one man whose destiny is the key to ruling the world, regardless of his social position or class." "That man would be part of this world's true privileged class." "That man could have the absolute power of a god!" "I must know what my status really is in this world!" "What has been preordained for me in this life?" "It's strange..." "I've never told this to anyone else before, only you." "Mr. Guts!" "Mr. Guts!" "What's your problem?" "I just wanted to congratulate you." "Mr. Guts, I heard that you were promoted to commander of the Raiders!" "It's amazing, you only have two weeks of experience with the Hawks!" "It's no big deal at all." "It is big!" "You've become a member of the Hawks for real!" "Congratulations!" "Just call me Guts." "Pippin!" "Look, we fell!" "You should be careful!" "How could you do that?" "A man draws his sword in order to protect the small wound deep in his heart..." "It was inflicted in the days long past, at the farthest reach of his memories." "A man wields his sword in order to depart life with a smile in the days far ahead, beyond the reach of his memory." "A kingdom in the west and an empire in the east." "The war between Midland and Chuder has lasted one hundred years." "During the war, the Grim Reaper on the Battlefield the Band of the Hawk has increased its power greatly, fighting on the side of Midland." "Three years have passed..." "Charge, charge!" "Tear them apart!" "We, the Black Ram Heavy Cavalry must lend our courage to the entire Empire!" "Kill them all!" "Crush them to pieces!" "I can barely watch my men!" "They are thrown into confusion by an army of only three thousand men!" "Due to the opponent's fierce attack, our army is enduring immense damage!" "This route threatens to cut us off from the castle!" "I ask for anyone's help..." "I beseech anyone who can stop the march of Chuder's black devils..." "Charge, charge!" "What nonsense!" "Fighting against us all by himself?" "All right!" "We'll shatter your bones!" "D-Don't break up your formation!" "Only one soldier is against us!" "Encircle him!" "Cut off his movements!" "T-They are..." "Your Majesty, look!" "T-The Band of the Hawk!" "They are the Grim Reaper on the Battlefield, led by the White Hawk, Griffith!" "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 so long." "I'm waiting so long." "I'm waiting..." "Each person's gaze will be locked on one whose feelings mirror their own." "To protect one's own happiness..." "To fulfill one's own dream..." "And just to survive." "Is there ever a time where one can live his own dream without inflicting a wound on someone else's heart?"
