To live for no reason just because you happened to be born?
I could never stomach such a life.
If anyone tread upon his dream, he would oppose them with all his being.
Even if I were that opponent.
The Golden Age Arc The Battle for Doldrey
The Band of the Hawk continues to deliver.
Prepared for Death
Yes, Sire. They're single-handedly keeping the enemy on our right flank occupied.
Griffith was an astounding find.
If only Count Julius were still alive...
Our army has been stripped of one of its wings.
Now the Band of the Hawk will grow more and more important.
Of all times...
You must be Band of the Hawk's lady commander, eh?!
A mere woman playing at being a knight...
I bet you got your post
by crawling into bed with that Griffith fellow.
Up yours!
How foolish for a woman to set foot on man's sacred territory, the battlefield!
I, Adon, leader of the Blue Whale Ultra Heavy Armored
Fierce Assault Annihilation Knight Corp, shall show you!
Big Sis!
Commander Casca!
Keep back, idiots!
Bunch of wimps sucking up to a woman!
Can't expect much from anyone who'd let a woman lead them!
Take this!
What, done already?
You command a thousand men? What a riot!
The Band of the Hawk must have to take whoever they can get!
Oh? I hadn't noticed what a looker you are.
I'll forgive your transgressions.
Why not come to Chuder?
What?
We'll give you a thousand of our own troops!
You can be in command of their "entertainment"!
Scumbag!
Is that a no?
Then die.
Guts!
This ain't like you.
H-How dare you?!
Bring it, whoever you are.
I feel like swinging this as hard as I can.
You did well to block my strike, boy!
But you won't get lucky a second time!
The ultimate spear technique passed down through the Coborlwitz family for 140 years...
Take this! Ganzansenpu!
Ganzansenpu... Say what?
What's wrong?
You're not your usual self.
If you don't get it together...
H-Hey!
Casca!
Hey! Snap out of it, Cas—
Ah, hell!
Big Sis!
Captain!
Guts!
Casca!
Shit! I'm never going swimming in this getup again!
She's burning up.
We can't stay out here in the rain.
We need...
Guts and Casca fell?!
From a dangerous height!
And Guts was shot. They need a rescue party!
Sir Griffith, this is wartime.
Sparing manpower to find two mere soldiers is out of the question.
If the rumors about your famed raider captain and lady commander are true,
they can make it back on their own.
Yes, I'll say.
Gotta deal with these wet clothes, at least.
Going into battle with a fever...
Women are such a handful.
You idiot! Were you injured?!
Oh, so that's it.
Women have it rough...
Stop!
If there's something you wish to protect, take up that sword.
Hi.
Where are we?
A cave along the river.
Landing in the water saved us.
The river?
Don't get up yet, stupid!
Your fever hasn't completely subsided.
What choice did I have?
You were drenched. Had a nasty chill, too.
What's that look for?
Here.
Listen—
What the hell?!
Stop! Hey!
That's enough outta y—
That's enough outta you, ya hysterical bitch!
I nearly killed myself draggin' yer ass outta that river!
If you weren't a woman, I'd be showin' your jaw my fist right now!
"A woman?"
You're so damn quick to flip out...
This is why women aren't cut out for combat.
Hey...
It's not like I asked to be born a woman!
This is pathetic.
I never wanted you to rescue me!
Anyone but you...
You're still weak!
Man, could she possibly hate me more?
Do you remember?
What Griffith said to you on the hill that day...
I want you, Guts.
Yeah.
He'd never spoken that way to anyone.
Not to anyone...
I couldn't stand it.
I was jealous you could get him to say that so easily.
Still... Even still...
I tried to convince myself that he wants you because he needs your talents
for the Band of the Hawk.
But when it comes to you, that calm and collected Griffith always gets impulsive.
It's like...
Griffith has faith in you.
Yet all you do is charge off on your own, heedless of the consequences!
It's nothing to me if you drop dead on some battlefield!
But I can't let you take the band... take Griffith's dream down with you!
I'll never forgive you for changing Griffith the way you have.
Why...? Why does it have to be you?
Tell me.
I'm the one who wanted to be his sword.
I see.
That's your dream.
Hey, you sure it was around here?
Yeah, positive.
Aren't they dead, though?
They did fall off that cliff.
Sir Adon said he'd pay the bounty, even for corpses!
Let's look a little farther downstream.
We can't afford to hang around.
What about you?
Why are you fighting?
Don't talk. You'll waste your energy.
I...
I found the two of you!
Hi there.
You're lookin' good, pal.
That jerk!
Very funny! Don't count on a quick and easy end!
I'll show you a living hell with the Hundred-Year Convulsive Death,
a torture technique passed down through the Coborlwitz family for 200 years!
And I'll let these mercenaries have the woman on the spot.
I'd pass if I were you.
Talk about a nightmare. She'll bite it off.
You sure like to talk!
Get them!
I'll rush in.
You run like hell.
Go now! Don't just stand there!
Screw that! I won't flee alone!
Don't get the wrong idea!
Until you recover, you'll just be in my way!
Bowmen! Aim for the woman!
Fire!
Guts!
Moron! Not once, but twice for a mere woman's sake!
Why? How could you?!
A sword must return to its sheath, right?
Huh?
Go back to your master.
Back to Griffith.
I'll think about what you asked me.
Show no fear! There's only two of them!
Surround them and charge in!
Go!
Don't waste time! Just go!
I'll be back with help!
Until then... don't die!
Don't let her escape! Kill her!
Wait until your job's done to go chasing ass.
Don't die!
His left hand is done for!
Now he can't swing that stupidly long sword!
Things are getting interesting.
You really made us work for this, girly.
Bastards!
Time to give up.
I have no strength in my arm...
Don't even think of biting your tongue.
It'd be boring if you died on us here.
Go back to your master.
I won't bite my tongue.
But I'm not giving you a ride either!
Bitch!
You little...!
Are you okay, Casca?
Hurry!
Guts stayed behind to face the enemy alone so that I could escape!
Mobilize everyone who's available!
I thought we were holding hands
Down a path that had yet to end
I'm still looking for that figure
Who suddenly strayed away
Where have you gone,
Leaving everything behind?
I want to see you again
I'm so frustrated I can't move
I can't do anything and it hurts
Still not willing to believe it
Here I am, unable to find
Purpose in a world without you
