Berserk (Anime Series) (1997) s01e06 Episode Script
Zodd the Immortal
In this world Is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or Law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control, even over his own will.
Feel no shame about shape.
Weather changes the phrase.
Even mother will show you another way.
So, put your glasses on.
Nothing will be wrong.
There's no blame, there's no fame.
It's up to you.
The first words should be found.
Whatever holds you back.
I can I can get it off.
Tell me what Tell me what Tell me what you want.
I don't know why I don't know why I don't know why you are afraid.
Tell me what Tell me what Tell me what you'd say.
I don't know why I don't know why Too late It's too late.
Message! We have successfully brought the enemy castle under control! And the castle's commander? We have not yet reached him The Raiders, under Guts' command, are laying siege to the castle's keep, but Due to the one immensely powerful soldier who is with the enemy we cannot clear a path! Only one? Cut off by one soldier? What a pathetic commander! Zodd What? What was that, Judeau? It's something I heard about before we joined the war effort.
People say that Nosferatu Zodd sometimes fights among the enemy lines Nosferatu Zodd the lmmortal? Zodd? Zodd the lmmortal? Who is he? Haven't you heard of him, Pippin? Zodd the lmmortal He is well known as a legendary fighter among mercenaries.
They say that he's taken the heads of hundreds or even thousands in battle And, that's not the only reason why he is feared Sometimes he returns to battle after reportedly being killed in a previous one.
Believe it or not, he's been around for nearly a hundred years according to the accounts of his exploits.
A hundred years? That is why he is called Zodd the lmmortal.
Hey, gimme a break! You aren't going to take that kind of fairy tale seriously, are you Ricky boy? But, as a matter of fact some mercenaries worship Zodd as the God of Battle! Okay, okay I don't like the look of the sky Let go of me, Gaston! No way, Commander! Hey, you all gotta help me stop the Commander! Y-You! I won't let you go no matter what! We just can't let our commander go in alone! Shut up, don't touch me! Just wait! We should wait a little bit more! Don't be an idiot! It's been almost two hours since I sent out fifty of my soldiers! I can't leave them! Then Please ask Captain Griffith for reinforcements! Do it if you dare but I'll kill you! One soldier! One soldier has nailed down all five hundred of the Hawk's Raiders! We cannot move forward like this! This is completely humiliating! C-Commander! D-Dillos! Commander Guts, it's Dillos! Dillos, it's Dillos! Dillos, are you okay? Commander! Dillos C-Commander! Hang on! Zodd What? What did you say, Dillos? Zodd the lmmortal! Zodd? So that rumor was true after all Hey, we're in big trouble Commander H-Hold on a minute, Commander! Stay back! Make sure no one follows me.
I will settle this alone Commander What the hell What What the hell is this? You evaded my strike well, boy.
Amazing A monster I'll go take a look inside.
The rest of you, stay here and wait.
B-But I'll go with you.
Don't worry, I will definitely bring Guts back.
Now, move out! Yes, sir! During the last fifty years, no one has been able to defend against my moves like you can.
He is stronger than any swordsmen I have ever fought He is far stronger He is the strongest No, that's not it, his strength is more than human.
What can I do? I can't evade his strikes much longer.
I've only be able to defend myself so far because of the size of my blade.
Just one of his strikes would easy cleave a normal sword.
So, the strength of our weapons is at least equal I see You intend to gamble your life on a single strike It looks like you are going to try for one final opportunity by relying on the length of your blade.
But your idea is flawed.
The flesh of your brain will be scattered across this room before you reach me.
Sounds like fun! I accept your challenge! You brat! This is the first time That my body has been so deeply stabbed with a the sword of a human like you Throughout my three hundred years of slaughtering, you are the first who has stabbed me like this.
I'm getting excited! You've made my blood boil as it has not boiled in many years.
To feel like this once again To meet an opponent like you For the past three hundred years, I have lived for this! Now, fight with me! You must not let me down! It's impossible There's no way that a monster like this could really exist! What's wrong? Are you giving up? Is this the limit to your strength? Is there no more? I suppose I can say you have done very well, for a human but if you cannot fight anymore, I will tear your body into pieces! Griffith H-Hey, what the hell is that? Is he Nosferatu Zodd? Keep your guard up! Another volley! Shoot! Did we get him? You shall not be forgiven! I will not forgive anyone who gets in the way of our battle! No hope! R-Run away! What's wrong with Griffith? Nobody's returned yet! I wonder if Zodd already killed off the Commander and Sir Griffith as well Don't talk nonsense, Gaston! It's not possible that those two were killed! But it's taking so long What should we do, Caska? Keep on waiting here.
Aren't you worried about them? Griffith ordered us to wait.
Monster! You all retreat immediately.
C-Captain Go right away! Captain! Are you all right? You're such a fool Why did you come? You can complain all you like after we escape.
Why? Why have things come to this? Where are you going? I still can hear your heartbeat Fight on! You must fight with me until your body is torn apart! Can you move? We'll be killed if I don't.
Good, you attack from the right! Let's go! Guts! We'll sprint past him towards the exit! Right! Griffith! What a day What a day this has been! It's remarkable I've encountered two men who are able to inflict wounds on my body I can barely believe that I'll be losing the two of them at once Griffith First, I'll take care of this one.
T-This is The Egg of the King! T-That cannot be A boy like him possesses the Crimson Behelit of the God Hand I see! I know this scheme well W-What's that? Commander Griffith Caska! All right, everyone follow her! Boy we'll suspend our duel for the time being.
Unfortunately, I doubt I will have another chance to fight you.
I will give you some advice Or rather, I will foretell your doom If you and this man truly regard each other as friends, be mindful of this When this man's ambition crumbles you will be destined to face your death! Your death is absolutely unavoidable! W-What is that? A-A demon? Death? Am I going to die? Griffith! Are both of you all right? Guts, are you okay? Yeah Only the two of you could survive this It's terrible What really happened here? Griffith! Hold on! Griffith! Griffith! Griffith! Don't touch him! Don't touch Griffith! It's your fault You put Griffith in danger, and almost got him killed
