01x04 - Prepared for Death

[bunniefuu]

I can't stand those who live

without purpose,
just for the sake of living.

If something stood
in the way of their dreams,

they'd face up to it with all their might,

even if it was I who stood in their way.

AN ORIGINAL WORK BY KENTARO MIURA

Who would expect less
of the Band of the Falcon?

Indeed.

They're single-handedly preventing
the encroachment of forces to our east.

In Griffith,

I have found a treasure.

If only Count Julius were still with us...

It is as if we've been stripped
of one of our wings.

The importance of the Band of the Falcon
will continue to increase...

Great. Why now...

Oh, it's you, the woman in the Band
of the Falcon who they say is a commander.

Despite being a woman,
you dare to call yourself a knight.

I'm sure you had to sleep with Griffith

to get your title, right?

You b*stard!

Even though you're a woman, you dare enter

the hallowed grounds for men
that is the b*ttlefield.

I, Adon, captain of the Blue Whale Ultra
Heavy Armored Fierce as*ault

Annihilation Knight Corp
shall teach you a lesson.

Casca!

Commander Casca!

You fools. Stay away!

You p*ssy-whipped b*tches.

What more would you expect from those
who'd let a woman lead them?

Take this!

So is that all you have?

How comical that you could be
a commander with such poor skills.

I guess the Band of the Falcon
was short for men.

Now that I take a good look,
you have quite a pretty face.

I can forgive your prior transgressions.

What do you think?

-How about you become a Tudor?
-What?

We can make you a commander.

You could be a commander

who commands
a thousand troops to bed with her.

-You filthy prick!
-You don't like my idea?

In that case... you die.

Guts!

This isn't like you at all.

You b*stard!

Bring it on.

I don't care who you are.

I feel like putting this sword
through its paces.

You did well to block my attack, kid.

But you won't get so lucky a second time.

Take this, a spear technique honed
by the Coborlwitz family for 140 years.

The unparalleled, rock-cutting whirlwind!

The rock cutting whirlwind? Big deal.

What happened to you?

This isn't like you at all.

If you don't stay alert...

Casca!

Hey, pull it together, Ca-...

Bulls eye!

Big Sister!

-Captain!
-Guts!

Guts!

Casca!

sh*t!

That's the last time I swim in this gear.

Her fever is through the roof...

I can't keep her out here like this.
Can we shelter somewhere?

Guts and Casca?

From that height? This can't be good.

Guts was hit by an arrow too.

We need a search party, now.

Lord Griffith.

We are currently at w*r.

We must not split our forces
for the benefit of two soldiers.

It's out of the question.

In any case, such a famed captain
of your raiders and lady commander

will surely return safely.

Exactly.

First, let's get you out
of these wet clothes...

Why would you head into battle
with such a high fever?

This is why women are such trouble...

Is she wounded?

Oh, wait, I get it.

Women have it rough.

Wait!

If you have something worth protecting,

take the sword in your hands.

Hey.

Where are we?

A cave on the riverbank.

Luckily, we fell into the river.

Into a river?

Don't be stupid.

Stay lying down.

Your fever hasn't cleared yet.

I had no choice.

Your clothes were drenched,
and you were completely freezing.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Hey!

Agh...

What the f*ck is wrong?

Wait!

Pull it together, you crazy b*tch.

Get it together!

Why did I risk my life to pull you
out of that river?

If you weren't a woman,

I'd be dislocating your jaw
right now with my fist.

A woman?

Seriously?

You get so emotional,
and your mood changes on a dime.

This is why women aren't fit for combat.

I...

I didn't choose to be born a woman.

This is pathetic.

I especially...

didn't want to be helped by you.

Anyone but you...

You're still not better...

She really seems to hate me.

Do you remember what happened?

That day...

What Griffith said to you on that hill?

I want you, Guts.

Yes.

Griffith never said anything
like that to anyone.

Not once, to anyone...

I... was upset by it.

For Griffith to find it so easy
to say that to you,

it made me jealous.

But...

even still...

I tried to believe that

Griffith viewed you as a necessary member

of the Band of the Falcon.

However, when it comes to you,

the normally self-assured
and calm Griffith

always becomes impulsive.

It's as if...

It's as if...

He believes in you.

But you are completely selfish.

You're reckless and fail to think
of consequences, like a fool.

You could die on any b*ttlefield,
and I couldn't care less.

But I can't allow you... to get in the way

of the dreams
of Griffith or the Band of the Falcon.

I can never forgive you for
how you changed Griffith.

Why?

Why does it have to be you?

Why?

It was I who wanted to be his sword.

Is that so?

So that was your dream?

Was it really this way?

Yes, I'm sure of it.

Maybe they're already dead?

They did fall off a cliff after all...

Lord Adon said he'd pay a bounty
even for their corpses.

Should we look a bit further downstream?

We have no time
to be sitting back relaxing.

Hey... what about you?

What...

What are you fighting for?

Stop talking.

You'll sap your energy.

I...

I found the two kids.

Hey!

You seem pretty spirited, grandpa.

Him again!

Say it again, I dare you.

I won't let you off with an easy death.

Using the Coborlwitz family t*rture method
that has been passed down for 200 years,

the Hundred Year Convulsive Death,

I will inflict all the hells
of this world upon you.

The woman will be given
to the mercenaries to do as they wish.

I think you should lay off her.

She's not to be messed with.

She'll bite it right off.

Underestimate me at your own peril.

Attack!

I'll take the lead.

You run to safety.

Get him now.

Don't hold back.

Stop being stupid.

There's no way I would escape alone.

Don't get the wrong idea.

In your current state,
you're just in the way.

Archers, target the woman.

Fire!

Guts!

You imbeciles!

He would protect the woman
not once but twice.

Why?

Why?

Swords must be sheathed at some point.

You must go back
to the master of the sword,

to be at Griffith's side.

I... will give thought
to what you said earlier.

Don't be afraid.

There are only two of them.

Surround them at once and k*ll them.

Go!

Stop dragging your feet! Go!

I will come back with reinforcements.

Make sure you stay alive until then.

Don't let the woman escape!

k*ll her!

You should wait until after work
before you chase after women.

Don't die on me.

He's lost the use of his left hand.

I guess you won't be able to swing
that stupidly big sword now.

Things have gotten interesting.

You've created
a lot of trouble, young lady.

sh*t!

Give it up.

Why are my arms so pathetically weak?

Don't think about biting your tongue.

It'd be no fun if you died
before we were done.

You must go back
to the master of the sword.

I won't be biting my tongue.

But I also won't be letting
you be on top of me.

Hey!

You b*tch!

Are you okay?

Casca!

Hurry, it's Guts...

In order to save me,

he's taking on
a band of enemies all alone.

Dispatch all the men you can.
