Berserk (Anime Series) (1997) s01e23 Episode Script
Eve of the Feast
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.
First unit, continue pursuit! Second unit, follow my lead! To the valley! At this rate they'll catch up with us any second! We have no choice! Should we attack? No, we'll make it! We thought we'd welcome you with bows and arrows.
I'm counting on you to look after Griffith.
We'll take good care of him, Big Sister.
We must annihilate them here and now, at once! Bastards! Charge! What happened? Stop right there! Bastard! Don't move.
Now slowly put your weapons down and surrender! You thought you could resurrect the Hawks by bringing him back.
Stop it! Behold! This man will never fight again! He will never ride a horse, nor hold a sword again Why, he can't even stand on his own two feet! You've made a great mistake.
There is not a single shred of hope left for any of you.
What he said about Griffith and the Band of the Hawk is just a load of bullshit, right? Screw you guys, I'll ask him myself.
You can't do that.
What do you mean? Griffith can't give you an answer.
You've got to be kidding.
So his throat got a little dry living in prison? And that's why What the hell! This is supposed to be our new beginning! We were going to make a fresh start after we rescued Griffith, am I wrong? For a year we've been living like insects squirming around, we've lost half our men But despite everything, we all believed that if we could only get Griffith back Is this it? You know, I had a feeling it'd turn out like this, that something like this would but but even so What are we going to do? What on earth are we going to do now? It's not as if the Band of Hawk has been annihilated! And we have you, Caska Griffith leads the Band of the Hawk.
You all should know that.
Yeah, but if that's the Over this past year, Caska's been through more than anyone else.
Don't be demanding, give her a break.
Yeah, but What about us Please give me some time.
We still have time until the others join us.
Let me think this over until then.
Hey, wait up! What is there to think over? What you are you planning? You're not thinking of continuing to What were you about to say back there? To keep your promise Just that it's best to finish what you started You're strong, aren't you? Finish what you started, because you began it yourself Do you really think you can say that line to Griffith? Everyone is weak.
So we cling to others and our hopes and dreams.
In a kind word of comfort Or a strict command I yearned for someone close to me I'll go check on Griffith.
Griffith, let's change your bandages.
Whether it's a good dream or a bad dream No one feels good when you wake up in the middle of one So, are you going back to traveling and perfecting your combat skills? I guess, and you? Well Perhaps I'll bring along the guys that are left behind and form a band of thieves.
That way, at least one of us can look after Griffith I'll come too.
You already left us once, remember? You have no obligation to stick with us any longer.
But you do? Well, yeah I'll always be a Hawk.
But you're different.
You've already begun fighting your own battles.
Leave behind those who can no longer stand up.
That's the law of the battlefield, isn't it? But that aside You better be sure to take Caska with you this time.
She is much too earnest to be leading a pack of stinking thieves.
I can't be a thief and have a conscience.
No thanks! I mean it.
Take her with you, even if you have to drag her.
Commander! Commander Guts! Hey, are you planning on leaving us without saying a word like last time? If you go, please let us go with you! We've all talked it over and agree Not one of us disagrees.
You guys As long as you're here We'll make it through, somehow.
Commander! Please take us with you Commander Please, Commander Perhaps this has been my home all along.
I didn't realize it until this very moment Everything I wanted back then is right before me now.
Why? Why do I never realize what I have until it's lost? Griffith's hands I never realized how small they were He tried to grasp everything with these two hands Just by placing his hand on my shoulder he made my fears subside He saved me time after time Now I must do the same for him.
Oh Um Um, I Sorry I'll go get more bandages Griffith, st Hey How's Griffith? He just fell asleep Something wrong? No, nothing's wrong What the hell's going on? No, really, it's nothing! So you're crying over nothing? Did something happen to Griffith? No stop! It's not that! Hey I'm sorry I can't leave What? I-I can't go with you Griffith he's so small and he's so frail When he used to be so proud and confident I can't leave him behind I can't leave him like that I'm sorry I'll stay as well.
You have your own battle to fight, remember? You said you were finished fulfilling other people's dreams.
You have to go If you're Griffith's true friend then you must leave even if you're alone What are you doing here, trembling with fear? Let's go We still have time to play The sun's not down yet.
Griffith! But how? Did he hear us? I'll go after him! Go tell the others! I've rested too long It's time to go It's not over yet As long as that cobblestone path keeps leading me on Griffith Griffith Supper's ready.
Oh, were you asleep? Sorry but we need to get some air in here Where am I? What? Is there something on my face? You were dreaming about the old days again, weren't you? A dream I see, that's all it was.
It's been a while since any of the guys came by to see us.
I wonder what they're all up to? I wonder if that guy's still swinging his big sword around somewhere? The past feels like nothing more than a dream now.
Hey Guts! Leave Pippin alone! Go wash your hands! Yes mother! Many things happened But they're all just distant memories now.
I think I'm much more suited to this lifestyle My life with you and our boy, just the three of us This kind of peaceful life is not so bad.
It's called a Behelit, the Egg of the King.
The owner of this necklace is destined to hold the entire world in his hands, in exchange for his flesh and blood.
In exchange for his flesh and blood? Griffith was it really me who drove you to this? Am I responsible for what has become of you? What should I do? What do you want me to do? What can I do for you now? What's that? What the A solar eclipse Griffith! Stay away! Guts! What the hell is that? Soldiers? Can it be the Midland Army? I don't know I don't know what it is But it's ominous Griffith! Don't come near! Griffith! Stay away from me! If you touch me now If you grab my shoulder now I'll never be able to You and I, we'll never be the same Griffith.
