Narrator: On that day, a dying sun rose above the multitude of nations.
Schierke: "The angel is the Hawk of Darkness.
Schierke: He is the master of the sinful black sheep.
Schierke: And the king of the blind white sheep.
Schierke: He will usher in an age of darkness to cover the world."
Farnese: We finally found you,
Farnese: Black Swordsman!
Farnese Narration: Who was this man?
Farnese narration: A mere illusion, born of the people's fear, who did not exist in reality?
Farnese narration: Or were the rumors of an evil fugitive mere exaggerations?
F: We are the Holy See's Holy Iron Chain Knights.
Farnese narration: Or...
Farnese narration: Or... Was he actually an important figure bound up with our faith?
F: We have made haste, by order of the Miracle Certification Bureau,
: to take you to the Holy See.
F: You will not be harmed if you lay down your sword and surrender.
F: If not, we swear upon God that you will be captured!
G: I don't recall doing anything that'd make a priest arrest me.
Narrator: It was far too large to be called a sword.
Narrator: It was far too large, thick, heavy, and much too crude.
Narrator: By all accounts,
Narrator: it was a hulking mass of iron.
Farnese: This is the Black Swordsman...
Farnese: His malice is unmistakable.
Farnese: He is the one written of in Revelations.
Farnese: I was the one who put him down?
Knights: Well done, Lady Farnese.
Knights: You really are our Lady Commander!
Guts: I can't afford to be wasting time here.
Guts: Shit.
Guts: I don't have time to be playing nice with these lunatics.
Guts: Casca...
Farnese: Oh, God... Please guide me.
Farnese: You!
flashback,Guts: Guess I'm still at half strength.
Knight: Lady Farnese, we have an emergency.
Knight: The Black Swordsman has...
Knight: You—
Guts: Hey.
Guts: How the tables have turned, eh?
Serpico: What was that?
Guts: What a sad end for the former hounds.
Guts: They're excited by the smell of blood.
Farnese: Impossible.
Farnese: How can such things...
guts: ...even exist?
Guts: That's why I called them miracles.
Guts: How can you be terrified of such a great opportunity?
Guts: As a believer, don't you have some phrase?
Guts: You could say, "Dear God..."
Guts: I've had my fill of miracles.
Guts: Enough to make me puke.
Guts: For the first time in a long while, I remember
Guts: how it felt at the start of all this.
Guts: Thanks, it feels like crap.
Guts: See, he's finally here.
Guts: My target, the one you wanted to know about...
Guts: The Apostle.
Farnese: Apostle?
Guts: That's right.
Guts: Eradicating every last one of these Apostles...
Guts: That is my goal.
Keeper: Th-The moment that brand marked you...
Keeper: Your... Your fate was set in stone.
Puck: What's wrong with you, Guts?!
Puck: Do it like usual!
Keeper: Meat... Meat!
Keeper: Th-That woman... is like the lady.
Keeper: A noblewoman...
Keeper: So soft.
Keeper: M-Melting in your mouth...
Puck: The lady?
Keeper: Don't touch her!
Guts: I'll give you a clean death, so talk.
G: How can I find them?
Keeper: Them?
G: The God Hand.
Keeper: I... I don't know!
Keeper: I know nothing about them.
Keeper: They are special...
Keeper: R-Really, I d-don't know!
Keeper: I said I don't know!
F: I don't understand.
F: I can't think of anything!
F: Not even a single prayer!
Keeper: I... I don't... know...
G: I see.
F: I'll ride this horse!
Horse: Nope.
Horse: I'll ride woman.
Horse: Female. Meat.
Horse: Delicious!
F: No!
Farnese Narrator: I learned the night's secret.
Farnese Narrator: Pull back one thin layer called "the world," and fear is undulates beneath it.
Guts: Don't run around if you want to live.
Farnese: Ye...
Farnese: Yes.
Narrator: They saw the same visions in their dreams.
Narr: Each enduring their own night,
Narr: the people were trapped in true darkness
Narr: that enveloped their shared world.
Narr: And amidst the ensuing chaos,
Narr: they observed with keen interest
Narr: a shining hawk, piercing the infinite gloom,
Narr: and descending upon the bloodstained land.
Guts: Stop!
Guts: Not again...
Apostle,Thing: Danger...
Guts: You...
Guts: What the hell?
Apostle,Thing: Danger...
Apostle,Thing: Hurry.
Guts: Danger?
Guts: Wait, has something happened to Casca?
Rickert: Where are you off to now?
G: Have you heard of anywhere nearby known as "holy ground"?
Rickert: Holy ground, huh...
Rickert: Now that I think of it, an old monastery
Rickert: named St. Albion is three days northeast of here.
Rickert: It's called the Tower of Conviction.
G: The Tower of Conviction...
Rickert: It's full of refugees.
Rickert: Supposedly, heretics hid among them.
Rickert: So now, the Holy See is sending a grand inquisitor.
Rickert: Basically, there'll be a witch trial...
Rickert: I think the possibility that Casca's there is low.
Guts: I have my reasons.
Guts: I'm grasping at straws,
Guts: but I have to trust my instincts.
Guts: Later.
Ishidoro: That's...
Guts: What was that for?
Guts: an unexpected test of my new blade.
Ishidoro: He cut up those Kushan monsters with one strike!
Guts: Hey, clear the way. I'm in a hurry.
Guts: What's with you guys?
Ishidoro: A-Amazing!
Guts: Hey, let's go, Puck.
Puck: Okay.
Puck: Whoa!
Puck: W-Wait...
Ishidoro: He's no ordinary guy!
Ser: Is something wrong?
F: I-It's nothing!
F: Don't think about it.
F: It couldn't have been real!
F: I couldn't possibly do that.
F: It must have been a hallucination, a nightmare.
F: Right now, focus on escorting the grand inquisitor!
F: Even if God never graces me with a miracle,
F: I need but pursue my faith!
Apostle,Demon: God is too far removed from the likes of you.
F: No!
F: I...
Ser: Is it just a bad mood?
Ser: Those monsters...
Ser: I didn't imagine them.
Ser: It pains me to say it,
Ser: but the Black Swordsman is too heavy a burden for Lady Farnese.
Ser: Not only was she relieved of her role in the Black Swordsman's pursuit
: after being blamed for his escape,
Ser: but the new mission is to escort that man?
F: Lord Mozgus, are you all right?
F: I apologize!
F: We were taken completely by surprise!
M: Lady Farnese, please rise.
M: God is generous to those who do His work.
M: It is fortunate that no one who serves the Holy See has been injured.
M: That is due to God's grace.
Mozgus: Are you having some kind of doubts?
Farnese: I am simply unsure.
Farnese: Will this mission allow us to save people?
Farnese: Please dismiss this as a mere initiate's ramblings.
Farnese: But I fear that continuing this way will mean that terror spreads unchecked,
Farnese: exhausting the people's hearts and minds.
Mozgus: You must not deplore difficult tasks.
Mozgus: You must not question God.
Mozgus: Though you may endure bloodshed, in both mind and body,
Mozgus: you must continue to live for God's glory.
Mozgus: That is faith.
Farnese: For God.
Farnese: And God alone...
Man: Who would dare?
Man: You're...
Knights: The Black Swordsman!
Luca: The Black Swordsman?
Man: We won't let you go this—
Guts: Answer me.
Guts: Among the ones you captured, was there a woman with a brand on her chest?
Luca: A brand?
Man: I... I don't know!
Knights: How dare you!
Knights: Out! Out of the way!
Knights: Open the way!
Knights: Report this to the main troops!
Guts: Asking a peon's getting me nowhere.
Guts: I'll just have to go over there myself.
F: Forward!
F: Subdue them!
Knights: Heretics!
Knights: Resistance will be dealt with harshly!
Cult: Help...
F: Wh-What?
Knights: What's going on with them?
Cult: H-Help!
F: Wh-What?
F: Who are they?
Azan: Beware.
Azan: They now have the strength of many grown men.
Farnese: dr*gs?
Farnese: Could dr*gs really be the cause?
Farnese: This is like...
Farnese: It reminds me of when...
Azan: This is...
Knights: An actual monster?
Knights: Are they all monsters?
Farnese: It's like before.
Farnese: It's just like that night...
Guts: Looks like one or two arrows have no effect.
Guts: Guess I'll give this a try.
Guts: One...
Guts: Two.
Guts: Three.
Knights: Walk!
Farnese: That girl...
Farnese: The one the Black Knight leapt to save.
Mozgus: Hmm...
Mozgus: This is a witch's brand indeed.
Puck: Casca!
Guts: Casca...
Guts: What's going on here?
Farnese: Impossible.
Farnese: Only a while ago...
Puck: I sneaked in here to save Casca.
Puck: But those things came out of the woodwork in the room.
Puck: Even though she was swallowed, I could still sense her presence.
Farnese: What is he doing?
Puck: I think she's okay.
Puck: No, I'm sure of it!
Farnese: Wh-What is that?
Puck: This way.
Farnese: That's right...
Farnese: Back then...
Guts: Hey, you're free to go.
Farnese: W-Wait!
Farnese: I'll come, too!
Mozgus: So you are the famed Black Swordsman...
Mozgus: I do not know what you seek to accomplish,
Mozgus: but I cannot let you have this witch,
Mozgus: in the name of God's justice!
Mozgus: I will now burn this witch at the stake, for she is the origin
Mozgus: of all the evil now rife in this holy land.
Mozgus: I will put an end to these loathsome abominations.
Farnese narration: My foundation...
Farnese narration: What I believed in... Was it so fleeting?
Farnese narration: Everything that was supposed to protect me
Farnese narration: was easily blown away.
Apostle,Mozgus: You fool who fears not God...
Apostle,Mozgus: You will swiftly receive divine punishment!
Guy: Behold! Father Mozgus has revived!
Guy: He plans to fight that demon for our sakes!
Farnese: Father Mozgus... Your form...
Farnese: An angel?
Farnese: No, more like a monster.
Apostle,Mozgus: Curse you!
Apostle,Mozgus: Do you not fear God?
Apostle,Mozgus: You dare get in the way of my holy mission, you devils?
Guts: If you want to appease your God so much,
Guts: why not split your head open and offer it up?!
Guts: I won't let you lay another finger on that woman.
Guts: If you meet your God, say this for me...
Guts: Leave me the hell alone!
Apostle,Mozgus: Oh, God... I am coming home to you...
Guts: Fly up to heaven...
Guts: by your own damned self!
Farnese narration: That man...
Farnese narration: When that black knight appears...
Farnese narration: It all breaks.
Farnese narration: The world that I had known
Farnese narration: makes a noise,
Farnese narration: as it crumbles.
Farnese: He still stands and refuses to back down in this overwhelming nightmare.
Farnese: In all of this, he is the only certainty!
Farnese: O-Oh, God...
Guts: Don't pray!
Guts: If you pray, your hands are closed.
Guts: What's that you're holding?
Farnese: How can he be this way?
Farnese: Amidst such despair,
Farnese: when others cling to each other, how can he speak of survival, as though it's a given?
Narrator: In that moment,
Narrator: all held their breath.
Narrator: And all were transfixed.
Guts: Griffith...
Narrator: And all realized...
Narrator: That what they had desired had come.
Jerome: Who is he?
Farnese: He isn't human.
Jerome: Do we ever get a break?
Azan: What now?
Farnese: I'm going to follow the Black Swordsman.
Farnese: I am leaving the Order.
Serpico: Later.
Farnese: In the end, I could not escape the darkness of my childhood.
Farnese: Eventually, the darkness took shape and appeared before me.
Farnese: As though the fate for one who continues to fear
Farnese: is to be led by the Black Swordsman
: who stands alone in the darkness.
Narrator: A rift appeared in the frontier that day.
Narrator: Where the world's shape began to crumble.
Schierke: "The angel is the Hawk of Darkness.
Schierke: He is the master of the sinful black sheep.
Schierke: And the king of the blind white sheep.
