Berserk (Anime Series) (1997) s01e19 Episode Script
Separation
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.
What is this all of a sudden? Come here, girl! It's not sudden.
Come here, girl! Come here, girl! I've was thinking about this before we set off for our last battle.
Hey darling, when do you Are you discontent about something? Hey darling, when do you Of course not, not at all.
Of course not, not at all.
get off work? But Why don't you spend During these past three years Why don't you spend some time with me later? I've been having fun.
some time with me later? some time with me later? It's been like some kind of festival.
I don't know How could I be discontent? I don't know How could I be discontent? Oh, I didn't ask your name yet Then, why do you Oh, I didn't ask your name yet Oh, I didn't ask your name yet Corkus, come on.
Shut up! I am Sir Corkus, commander of an entire company of the Hawks! What's wrong with me going to a bar and making a play for a girl or two? We've got free reign in any bar in Windam once they recognize us as the Hawks' commanders! In the street, we're mobbed by kids and women as we walk by! Of course! We are the heroes who saved this kingdom! Soon, we'll be admitted into society as nobles! We'll be able to settle down in the Court! With luck, we could become landed lords! All of this would be impossible under ordinary circumstances! Right? But, we finally obtained it! And we sweated blood over it! Nonetheless, you will give up all this In any case It's no wonder you can't dance with the ladies at a party.
You're not capable of doing anything but slay men! What you say is true.
I can't do anything but wield a sword.
When I first killed a man, I was just a kid without any idea what I was doing.
I have not known anything more than battle I never tried to know more To survive, I kill that's all I've ever done.
But I could have lived with that If only If one person If anyone had looked my way However I learned my lesson as I wandered from battle to battle I learned that wishes wouldn't help me crush the skulls of my enemies.
My complaints were just childish.
But I also realized that I had met someone from whom I really wanted attention He had nothing whatsoever in his possession.
And he intended to obtain everything.
However, because he aspires to reach such great hights he is forced to be on edge almost constantly.
That's why he cannot afford to let the weak get close to him.
I feel strange saying this, but when I look at him it's like looking up into a bright light.
I can't deal with it any more, admiring him and being caught up in his dream I want to be an equal with him, I want to have something I can achieve by myself.
I don't want him to be the only thing holding me back.
You said you want to be equal with Griffith? Cut the crap! You're bitching like some rotten kid! He is special! He is different from us! It's thanks to no one but Griffith that someone good for nothing but slaying men, can be Commander of the Hawks' Raiders! You're already surpassing your limits! I'm not interested in that position or rank at all.
What I really want to have is something different Something more, something I have to win by myself! You're talking nonsense, like some stupid kid! Something you have to win by yourself? No one would suffer if that kind of thing was easy to find! Listen! A man has to make many compromises in his life, because of his personal limits and his responsibility to face up to reality.
Only a child can be content with just a dream.
Don't give me your crap! Your words are nothing but excuses for a coward who can't face reality! Corkus You Don't you have anything like that? Gimme a break! I need to get some sleep! I can't tolerate this immature fool any longer! Despite all that, he used to be great leader in an organization of thieves.
I suppose he must have once had something he wanted to win by himself even if it was only a small thing.
As for myself I have rather cleverly managed every feat of skill I've tried since I was a kid.
I was more skilled with a sword or a dagger than others, and more tactful as well.
But I could never be a master at any one thing.
I decided to follow someone who did have the potential to be a master so I wouldn't have to be signaled out as the special one.
I think everyone has the desire to gain something I'll see you out I hope you can find something you really want.
Hey, Guts Yeah? How about you and Caska? What? What was that? She likes Griffith, everybody knows that.
I don't think Caska can get together with Griffith.
Why? There's one thing that Griffith pursues.
Getting princess Charlotte is a shortcut on the path to fulfill Griffith's dream.
That's the best thing for him to do.
Anyway, what do you think of Caska? Caska is an attractive woman.
It's unusual to find a woman who is reliable on the battlefield.
But I consider her only as my comrade not as a woman.
So No it's not possible.
She looks at only Griffith.
So for now, I'm not able to be her match.
I see.
I guess I was the only one who thought there was some hope for you.
Thanks for coming along, I'm off now Guts! You You're so mean, how could you leave without saying anything? Why? Are you tired of the Hawks? Ricket Are you leaving? Yeah Are you resigning from the Band of the Hawk? Sorry We don't understand your apology! Please tell us why! Aren't the Hawks supposed to be a family? Stop it, Ricket.
Why It's a man's decision.
We should just let him go.
But Guts is the Commander of the Hawks' Raiders.
He is key to the Hawks! We were already invincible before he joined.
But Shut up! Hey, I'm going to tell you this now! I have hated you so much! I will never admit it You are not special! You will never be like Griffith! If we meet on the battlefield sometime you had better watch your back! Guts Thanks for everything I told you this long ago You are mine.
I won you by my sword.
Everything about you belongs to me, from your battlefield to your own life.
If you want to get free of my hand by those conditions Snatch yourself free with your blade! Griffith! Couldn't you just let me go by saying good-bye with smile? I see.
Hold it! Are you two serious? Are comrades willing to kill each other? Stay back, Caska! Don't get in our way! What are you saying? If you two fight with real swords, you won't escape unharmed! Hands off, what are you doing? There's no way around it, in these circumstances What are you all doing? We've got to stop them, they'll kill each other.
This is their concern, not yours.
We don't have to interrupt this.
But we can't just Have you become so much of a lady that you've forgotten? We have to settle things by our swords.
This is our way as mercenaries, isn't it? But She has changed She never hesitated before under Griffith's orders even if her comrades were in mortal danger.
Is she herself aware of how she's changed? His eyes look as if he's glaring at an enemy.
But even if he hates me or if he considers me a traitor I've got to go! It's just as it was three years ago I've ended up fighting with my sword just as I started fighting with my sword.
Well, that's just the way I like it.
The duel tells me that you at least value me enough to fight and bleed over me.
He has become immensely strong But Griffith can definitely stop him! Then, everything will be the same as it was before Is that my wish? Is it my wish that Guts stays with us? He makes no attempt to display his will to fight.
However, he is completely on guard his eyes are free of confusion.
Do you really desire to be free of my hand so much? No, I won't allow it! My best chance is in the first strike I've got to deflect his sword as soon as he swings downward.
Then I'll strike his shoulder! What if I kill him as a result of my sword striking off the mark? I don't care, not if he refuses to be mine I care not! Now! Griffith! Bye Griffith Guts! Guts is gone, he didn't even look back.
That was a fluke! That was definitely a fluke! I'll never admit that he won! You're going to be all right You just stumbled over a stone in the street It's not a big deal at all Your goal is far beyond things like this, right? I'm sure you'll overcome this.
You'll start walking again soon No, the snow is melting Please go to bed quickly, otherwise you will get sick, My lady.
I will go to bed.
You may leave now.
Then, good night My Lady.
Sir Griffith! Sir Griffith, what happened to you? It's such a rainy night! Good evening, Princess Charlotte.
Would you mind if I asked for admittance into your chamber? What? If someone saw us like this, it might stain your honor, Princess.
Y-Yes Come in Thank you.
Please excuse my rudeness, visiting a lady's chamber so late at night, and making it wet.
I missed you so much.
Ever since you were sent to the battlefield I have constantly been afraid that I would hear of your death.
After you came back, fearful and sorrowful things have occurred one after another.
Why, why didn't you come to see me earlier? No Griffith Griffith! Are you scared? Stop it Your fear and sorrow, throw everything into a fire, and let it burn Bye Griffith? Well, well, who should it be but Your Excellency, the next White Hawk General! To think that Your Excellency, of all people, should be here at this time.
That's right, my sword was I will hear your story later, at my leisure.
Haul him off!
