Berserk (Anime Series) (1997) s01e14 Episode Script
Bonfire of Dreams
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.
Go back to the sheath your master holds.
Go back to Griffith! Don't glower at me like that.
I'm offering you all the fun you want right before setting out for the afterlife.
What's wrong, are you embarrassed? I'm unable to push this bastard aside My My arm is so powerless 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.
Don't even think about biting your tongue off.
It'd be a shame if you died before we finished our fun.
Do you want to die in a place like this? Go back to the sheath your master holds.
I won't bite my tongue off.
Oh no, she's been driven to despair.
Can't you resist a little so we can get turned on? But I won't let you rape me, either! What? Bitch! You'll pay for that! I'll kill you dead! You better lay off now.
Judeau! She is the only woman in our troop.
It'll cost you.
Unbelievable! He's beaten almost half my hundred men in spite of his wounds I admit, this is no fluke.
What was that? There are fifty of you still alive? Great, day will dawn by the time I get around to cracking open all of your heads! Don't let up! He barely has the strength to stand! Defeat him now! What am I doing here? In a miserable place like this It's not worth risking my life for this Am I fighting for Caska? No, that can't be it I don't have time to think now.
I should concentrate on wielding my sword and killing nothing more Sorry, I was late.
It took quite a bit of time to persuade those big shots we needed to rescue you.
H-Hey You must run He Guts Hurry! What happened to Guts? This way, quickly! Someone, give her your shoulder! I don't need it! He He stayed in the midst of the enemy to help me get away We've got to hurry, or Let's move! I will make it I have to make it Here it is! Oh, my God Is this for real? I see almost a hundred men lying here.
Did he really do all this by himself? Guts Guts! Guts! Guts! Those look like deadly wounds Guts! Those look like deadly wounds Guts! Come on, you've only joking, right? Hey, Guts! Guts! Guts! Stop shaking me It's not helping my wounds Guts Out of the way now! Move it! It's an emergency! Make way for us! It's no big deal! I can walk on my own! Don't move, you'll make your wounds worse! Hey, they're back! Dammit, he was alive after all.
Guts! Hey, ouch! That hurts! You'll heal faster without anesthetic, so just bear it.
Shit! I'm not a torn shirt you're sewing up! Okay, I'm done now.
What a guy! With wounds like yours, most men wouldn't be able to stay conscious.
How's his condition? Well, he's no longer in danger but I prescribe total bedrest for him! Total bedrest? Then what you're saying is He should be left behind when the army breaks camp and moves out.
No way! Bullshit! I'll stick with you all until the end, even if I have to crawl after you! Ridiculous! You will seriously endanger your life if you rejoin the front lines now! Endanger my life? I put my life in danger every time I go to war.
It's out of the question! Oh, suit yourself! Now, everything's settled, all right? The two of you are back and safe.
Where is Griffith, anyway? Griffith is at headquarters for the war counsel.
He set out this morning.
Oh, no.
He won't come back until tomorrow.
And they finally came back, too.
What bad timing! Caska, aren't you going to get looked at? I'm fine.
I didn't get injured But you had a fever, didn't you? Oh! What's going on? Seriously, we were worried that the worst might have happened.
For once, we need to thank Commander Guts.
Sorry for having worried you all.
I'm glad you're safe, Big Sister.
But Captain Griffith is cold at heart.
He just left for a war counsel or something.
Watch your mouth.
Oh, I am sorry, Big Sister Caska.
Can I have your ear for a moment? What's the matter? Well, I want to tell you this.
When I asked Griffith to send a search party so we could rescue the two of you those nobles spoke against us, making objections of all kinds.
But Griffith really put his foot down.
Those two are key for the Hawks.
I will never lose them.
Griffith said that Yeah, he said that for you.
It's amazing how much he values you two.
Honestly, I felt little jealous.
Oh, hey, I almost forgot about this.
Give this to the big guy who killed a hundred men.
It's medicine? I got this from a company of travelling players I used to work for.
You may not believe it but it is made from fairy dust.
Fairy dust? That's impossible! I know you doubt it.
But it works wonders and the effect is guaranteed.
It saved my life a couple times, trust me.
Such a precious thing of yours Don't worry.
I think it's a pretty good deal, we got a hundred men for one pack of medicine.
Thank you, Judeau.
She suddenly became like an ordinary girl, didn't she? Guts Guts What's going on? Wouldn't it be better if you slept? I can't sleep because my body is burning.
Up here I feel at ease, and it's much cooler.
Hey Don't move.
The pain is subsiding.
What is this? Judeau gave it to me.
It's some kind of secret medicine.
Now, turn your back.
You know there's nothing for you to worry yourself over.
I brought myself to do that for my own sake.
It wasn't for you in particular.
I'd rather fight with my sword than run away, it's my nature.
That was the only reason You fought a hundred men with your sword because it's your nature? Yeah, that's it.
Besides, I had to give that bastard some payback.
I didn't remember anything clearly because I had lost myself in swinging my sword.
But, to tell the truth, there was something I couldn't get out of my head Compared to what you're doing what I did, fighting against a hundred men was nothing.
Not only you, but Griffith too The two of you have something really important to stake your life on.
I think it's great, I mean it.
Compared to your purpose my fighting against a hundred men or a thousand is just random.
It's no big deal at all.
Guts Some view, huh? Gaston doesn't think he's very suited to army life.
He wants to start a tailoring business with the money he's earned after the war.
He's good with his hands, though he may not look it.
Nichole proposed to a woman, but she refused.
She didn't want to marry a common soldier.
He wants to get promoted as soon as possible, so he can ask her again.
That's why he is reckless and tends to overextend himself in battle.
Well, everyone seems to stake their life on lost causes.
Looking over all of them from here, it makes me think that I can see all their little dreams and hopes flickering in each light.
Like a bonfire of dreams That was beautiful I thought it was the princess talking.
Don't say that! But, you are right.
I think that each one of them brings their own wisps of light when they gather together.
Yeah, and so those fragile lights don't go out they throw their lights into the strongest flame of all A powerful fire called Griffith But my light cannot be seen among them.
I guess I'm just someone who stopped to warm up by the bonfire.
Guts As long as I have my sword to fight with, I am sure to survive any battle.
It's a fact, year after year I prove it true.
Before joining the Hawks, I always survived even in hopeless, losing battles.
It happened again this time But, doing that kind of thing is not really important.
I've been fighting in battles for as long as I can remember.
The mercenary leader who raised me taught me nothing except how to wield a sword.
I've never had anything except my sword.
I don't want to die.
But for me, that was the only reason for fighting.
I found myself fighting because I know nothing but how to wield this.
Above all, I was ready to just commit myself to fighting back there and leave finding a real reason to fight up to the others.
Guts Anyway, I guess all that sounds kind of dumb.
I'm wondering why I told you all that It's pretty pathetic.
So am I.
Guts are you thinking of Are you going to leave the Hawks? Guts I said that I was going to fight this war to the end, no matter what.
What will you do afterwards? Guts! Caska! Griffith is back! He heard that you were safe so he changed his schedule to come back here a day early! Welcome back! Captain! Glad you're safe! Oh, Commander Guts! Hey.
Griffith, I apologize.
I held everyone back, it's my fault Despite my physical condition I went into battle and caused everything to go wrong.
I even put my entire company in danger.
Not only that, I put Guts and his Raiders in danger as well.
I'm not qualified to be a commander! I will accept any punishment W-What are you doing, you idiot! Welcome back.
Go for it, Commander! Jump on me, too! All right, let's all go and get a drink! Are you sure, Commander? In your condition? Shut up, I'm just going to disinfect my body liquor! I'm not responsible for this.
Let's celebrate the hundred-man fight! What's the matter? Nothing Is he serious about leaving?
Go back to the sheath your master holds.
Go back to Griffith! Don't glower at me like that.
I'm offering you all the fun you want right before setting out for the afterlife.
