01x12 - Storm of Death

Post by bunniefuu »

Is it frightening?

Even though you are as great as you are?

Is it because you are afraid
of our superhuman nature?

Or is that you are afraid
of the path that lies ahead of you?

Before embracing your future,

you should first get to know yourself.

AN ORIGINAL WORK BY KENTARO MIURA

Good grief!

You really are such a loud child.

What is the meaning of this racket?

But Auntie,

so many people have died here.

But this was your fault, was it not?

It's all because you started saying
you'd go to that castle.

That is why they all died.

How could that be?

I never told anyone to come with me...

Be quiet!

You must have known

what kind of place this was.

You must have known.

I must have known?

Yes.

If you want to go to that castle,

the only way to get there
is by trampling all of those corpses.

Otherwise, you will be the one
who becomes a corpse.

I...

I...

This child really is a fool.

If you were going to end up regretting it,
you should never have wished for it.

Why were you not simply satisfied

with looking up at it from the alley?

Yes... I did know it.

And yet...

I cannot apologize.

No, I won't apologize.

If I apologize,

if I regret it,

everything will end.

I will never be able

to reach it.

Yes.

That's who you are.

Was that just an illusion?

It was no illusion.

That is the truth
that lies in your conscience.

To reach that castle in the sky,

bodies must be piled up.

This is who you are.

What's more,

your alley path has reached its end.

But now, all of these people,

the wings of the falcon
who have flown here at your side

to the end of a journey reeking of blood,

these are who you have left.

But you can live on

in the ruins of a dream.

The ruins... of a dream.

You need to pile up corpses.

Thinking of everything you have left,

chant this short phrase in your mind,

"I sacrifice."

If you fail to do so,

you will not receive jet-black wings
to soar beside us to the summit.

Griffith!

Yes.

Among the thousands, no,
tens of thousands of enemies and friends,

only you had the power

to make me forget my dream.

I sacrifice.

Griffith!

Griffith!

Threads woven by the Law of Causality

have now been bound together.

The moment of truth is upon us.

What was carved into you just now

is the brand of sacrifice.

The lives of those who are branded,

and every last drop of their blood,

every cry of anguish,

will become food to nourish
the newly born Prince of Darkness.

-Pippin!
-Run away!

Run!

Run, run!

-You must survive.
-What are you saying?

What are you doing?

Let me go Judeau. I need to go to Pippin...

Pippin!

Judeau, go back!

You're going to let him die?

We can't go back!

You are our general.

You must survive.

If the general survives,

the Band may survive too.

We cannot die like this.

You must struggle
and continue to struggle,

right up until the very end.

Were we supposed to meet here?

Right on time.

I knew you would not miss a chance

to avenge your thousand-year grudge.

Have you been ordered to act
as gatekeeper, immortal?

I have no interest in indulgent revelry.

I'm sure you know that, my longtime foe.

Captain!

It's a dream.

Of course, it's a dream.

It is just a horrific nightmare.

I just got drunk
in my usual bar like always.

I hope someone wakes me up soon.

Judeau, Pippin,

Rickert,

you're still there, right?

I'm counting on you.

There are women in Hell?

Okay... you don't need to wake me just yet.

Damn!

Why did you catch a guy like me?

Damn!

Wait, Griffith!

I will get you out of there.

Don't get in my way.

There is no need to try to rescue him.

This is what he wants.

You could hear it too, right?

I am certain he said...

Shut up!

There's no way he would say that!

He would never.

Griffith is my... my...

Judeau...

Judeau!

You fool! Move!

If you stay, you'll be...

Why?

Casca!

Did my knife get it?

Yes, it did. You did great.

Go, right away.

What are you saying?

Wasn't it you who said
to struggle to the end?

Take responsibility for what you did.

Get up!

I'm different to Guts. I'm more delicate.

Stop blabbering.

You're right. I'm all talk, right?

What are you saying?

If you have time to move...

-I really...
-...your mouth, move your legs.

...thought I was more skilled than this.

I can put you on my back.

I might have missed my chance

to say what was important.

This will be my last utterance.

You really cry a lot,

don't you?

Judeau?

You can't do this to me.

Where...

am I?

All of their deaths feel like

they are passing through me.

It is quite strange.

I feel nothing.

My memories...

Memories pour out of me.

Why?

Why do people...

That's it.

That's why...

I...

Agh!

Is anyone here?

Is nobody there?

Casca!

Judeau!

Pippin!

Corkus!

Raiders! Answer me!

Gaston...

Pippin!

Pippin! You're still alive!

Pippin.

You b*stards!

You b*stards!

He is born!

The fifth Blessed King.

The new Prince of Darkness!

The member of our clan

who joins us and takes
the name of Demon King.

Femto, the Black Winged!
