01x01 - The Golden Age

[bunniefuu]

Fire!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Okay! Let them have it.

Agh!

Okay!

All units, attack at once!

Whoever takes the head of their leader

will be handsomely rewarded.

Time to get out of here.

Wait for me, damn it!

It's Bazuso!

Bazuso is the guy
who k*lled 30 men by himself.

They say he took down a bear
with his bare hands.

What's wrong?

Anyone who wants their head bashed in,

step forward.

What are you all doing?

Does no one want to take him down
and make a name for himself?

Go on, step up.

Look who's talking.

We don't stand a chance against him...

What useless mercenaries!

What a bunch of cowards!

Your ba*ls are all shriveling up.

Men, show them no mercy!

Gouge out their eyes

and pull out their intestines.

We'll use them to feed the pigs.

Who is he?

He looks like he's still a kid.

Is he a mercenary?

Look at that sword...

What a show-off!

He'll be split straight in two.

Yeah, I mean he's up against Bazuso.

I want ten coins.

What?

It's my fee to slay this hunk of iron.

We mercenaries are not like you knights.

We can't survive off honor alone.

You think you can topple the great Bazuso?

You sound reliable...

Okay, let's make a deal.

If you can topple him,
I will give you seven silver coins.

What a cheap b*stard.

Okay, have it your way.

You're gonna regret this, kid.

You're offering up your head
for seven silver c...

He's so fast!

Bazuso is being pushed back!

What's going on?

I've never seen Bazuso like this.

Who is this guy?

Damn it!

I've had enough of you.

Woah!

Wait!

Your skills with a sword
are truly admirable.

For someone like me...

Bazuso...

Now is our chance!
The enemy is on the ropes.

Attack!

He's truly remarkable.

I wonder what group he belongs to.

This is no time to be admiring.

He beat us to it.

If you have a complaint,
tell it to the idiot general.

It's not our fault.

Hey, Griffith,

I wonder who is stronger, him or you.

Don't ask stupid questions.

Of course, it's Griffith.

Okay, next.

This is two month's pay...

and your reward for this mission.

Have you reconsidered my offer?

Your salary would treble,

and one day,
you might even become a squire.

For mercenaries

like us,

it would be a dream come true.

A dream?

Can you live off dreams?

Wait!

I'm telling you I could guarantee you
money and status.

What sounds bad about that?

I would hate it. I will not be caged.

Next!

Bandits?

Okay, let's get him.

Damn it!

Just you wait.

This guy

is really strong.

He took them out.

What should we do?

Corkus looks terrified.

He really is incredibly strong.

Yeah,

Bazuso wasn't just a fluke.

What should we do?

I warned him.

Casca, get in there.

Why should I?

It was Corkus who went on a solo run...

Fine, I'll do it.

Hey, go in for an attack.

Why should it be me?

This was your idea in the first place...

This is bad.

-Hey, you fool!
-I'm done for.

Retreat.

My apologies.

What a long sword...

A woman?

You b*stard!

Even Casca is having trouble with him.

No way. I don't believe it.

He's gonna k*ll me.

Griffith!

Be careful. This guy does not mess around.

Griffith?

Ha! You're done for now.

Finish him, Griffith.

Could you please put down your sword?

Oh, so you won't...

You're so fast...

sh*t.

Yay!

That was incredible.
He took him out with a single move.

Gri... ffith...

Hey!

What the hell is going on?

Where are we? Why are you here?

Griffith should've k*lled you
when he had the chance.

Wh... what did you say?

This one is for my horse.

That f*cking b*tch...

-I've got it!
-Oh, no!

You should be grateful to Casca.

You lost so much blood
that you were freezing,

so she slept beside you
for two whole days to warm you up.

What?

It was an order from Griffith.

He said that it's the job of women
to keep men warm.

Judeau, you as*h*le.

Sorry, my bad.

It seems like you have woken up.

Griffith!

Good morning.

My name is Griffith.

What is your name?

Guts.

This is quite the blade.

I definitely couldn't wield it.

Could you come with me, please?

Hey, Griffith.

Griffith...

Hey!

You seem popular.

Hey...

What a great smell.

That as*h*le.

He's already back on his feet.

Griffith?

This place has a weird vibe.

Wait, what is this place?

We are the Band of the Falcon.

Have you heard of us?

Yes.

You're a group of mercenaries that
one wouldn't want as an enemy.

You must be the reason
why we had such trouble

in our last battle.

You're right.

We are the Band of the Falcon.

What a great view.

Tell me why.

Why did you intentionally miss my heart?

I'm sure you could've k*lled me.

Because I wanted you, Guts.

Oh, so you bat for the other team?

I saw your fight with Bazuso.

It was incredible.

But... it was close.

If his battle-axe didn't have
a crack in it,

you would've been the one
with his head split in two.

You're probably right.

How honest of you...

When you fight...

it seems like you toy with your own life.

To me,

it seems as though you put yourself
in harm's way on purpose

so you could then
try to save yourself from death.

That was how it seemed to me.

So I took a liking to you.

I want you, Guts.

And what if I say no?

You'd say no?

Yes, I reject your offer.
You talk about me as if you know me.

Aren't you acting
a bit too friendly for someone

who tried to cut a chunk out of me?

Let's settle this with our swords.

If I win,

I will open a big hole in your chest
just like the one you made in mine.

And if I win?

You can make me a soldier or a f*ck buddy,
whatever you want.

Okay, I accept.

I have no problem using force.

Griffith!

Casca, don't get involved.

But...

If I want something,

I make sure that I get it.

It pisses me off how you belittle people.

-Damn it.
-Hey, look over there.

That b*stard never learns.

Don't get involved.
Griffith told us not to.

We can do this another day if you want.

It doesn't feel right
when you're still recovering.

Cut the bullshit.

-Griffith!
-He's playing dirty.

You'll do whatever it takes to win.

It makes me like you even more.

But like this,
you can't even swing your sword.

What are you going to do?

We can call it a day if you want.

You never shut up.

Let me teach you something.

This is how you use your mouth in battle.

Griffith!

How is it, the taste of your own blood?

I guess no one has ever punched
your pretty little face before.

Sorry to do this in front of your men,

but this ends here!

-Yes!
-He did it!

I won't lie. That did some damage.

But it's over.

Do you accept your defeat?

Or do you want me
to dislocate your shoulder?

It's up to you.

f*ck you.

-Yes!
-Yay.

Take that!

Yes!

Hooray!

From now on, you belong to me.

That was amazing!

Yeah!

He never says that.

Griffith has never said
something like that to anyone before.

So I guess this makes me a member
of the Band of the Falcon.

Guts, we will put you to work

on something that I hold dear.

I want my own country.

Guts, I will decide where you die.
