1
00:00:04,087 --> 00:00:05,922
This is incredible.

2
00:00:06,005 --> 00:00:07,841
Oh, my, take a look at them.

3
00:00:07,924 --> 00:00:10,552
Aren't those men
from the Band of the Falcon?

4
00:00:10,635 --> 00:00:12,470
They are the protectors of Midland.

5
00:00:12,554 --> 00:00:14,973
You have to make sure
you look like you fit in.

6
00:00:15,056 --> 00:00:17,517
Welcome back, Lord Griffith.

7
00:00:18,518 --> 00:00:20,353
I kept praying for you.

8
00:00:20,437 --> 00:00:22,397
I prayed for you too, every day.

9
00:00:23,022 --> 00:00:25,650
Do you have a dance partner
for the evening?

10
00:00:25,734 --> 00:00:28,987
I want to hear about the exploits
of the Band of the Falcon too.

11
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:31,948
Tales of war are so savage.

12
00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:33,742
Wouldn't you find them boring?

13
00:00:33,825 --> 00:00:35,660
No, no, not at all.

14
00:00:35,744 --> 00:00:37,162
They are very stimulating.

15
00:00:37,746 --> 00:00:39,539
He's really used to this.

16
00:00:39,622 --> 00:00:41,124
Indeed.

17
00:00:41,207 --> 00:00:44,252
Could he not send someone this way?

18
00:00:44,335 --> 00:00:46,921
You are all captains
in the Band of the Falcon, right?

19
00:00:47,922 --> 00:00:50,800
I would love to hear
all about your heroics on the battlefield.

20
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:53,094
You must all be very strong.

21
00:00:53,178 --> 00:00:55,305
Well... I can oblige that too.

22
00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:57,557
Please tell us everything.

23
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,559
I couldn't get through it all
in one night.

24
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:01,311
Do you have time?

25
00:01:01,394 --> 00:01:02,562
Lots of it.

26
00:01:03,146 --> 00:01:04,689
Are you the captain of the raiders?

27
00:01:05,273 --> 00:01:07,942
They say he killed
100 men single-handedly.

28
00:01:08,026 --> 00:01:09,319
Really?

29
00:01:09,402 --> 00:01:13,114
He is also the one
who toppled General Boscogn.

30
00:01:13,198 --> 00:01:16,326
I wonder who is stronger,
you or Lord Griffith.

31
00:01:16,951 --> 00:01:18,369
And such massive muscles.

32
00:01:18,453 --> 00:01:20,830
Why are they so hard?

33
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:22,332
How charming.

34
00:01:22,415 --> 00:01:24,626
You are very cute.

35
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:26,377
You're in the Band of the Falcon too?

36
00:01:26,461 --> 00:01:28,338
Yes... I'm a Falcon too...

37
00:01:28,421 --> 00:01:33,092
And then, who came to attack me
but the Holy Purple Rhino Knights...

38
00:01:33,176 --> 00:01:36,221
-Leave me alone.
-...led by General Boscogn.

39
00:01:36,304 --> 00:01:38,473
They kept coming closer and closer.

40
00:01:38,556 --> 00:01:39,974
Hey, Guts!

41
00:01:44,395 --> 00:01:46,940
This is crazy.

42
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:53,029
AN ORIGINAL WORK BY KENTARO MIURA

43
00:03:23,828 --> 00:03:26,456
{\an8}There's no way you could be overlooked.

44
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:28,166
{\an8}How about after this next gentleman?

45
00:03:28,249 --> 00:03:31,085
No, no, I must insist that I am next...

46
00:03:31,169 --> 00:03:32,337
But...

47
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:35,048
I would really like to sing you a song.

48
00:03:35,548 --> 00:03:36,549
Huh?

49
00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:38,593
Hey, wait...

50
00:03:39,552 --> 00:03:42,138
What is wrong with these nobles?

51
00:03:42,889 --> 00:03:44,766
Hey, play along.

52
00:03:44,849 --> 00:03:46,309
They kept bothering me. It's such a pain.

53
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:48,478
Huh...

54
00:03:48,561 --> 00:03:49,812
I need your help.

55
00:03:50,396 --> 00:03:51,606
Hey!

56
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:54,400
Ugh...

57
00:03:58,696 --> 00:04:02,575
It's way easier to swing a sword around.

58
00:04:02,659 --> 00:04:03,576
I agree.

59
00:04:04,285 --> 00:04:07,205
You shouldn't do things that
you can't adjust to.

60
00:04:07,288 --> 00:04:10,541
I haven't been in a skirt in years either.

61
00:04:12,001 --> 00:04:14,087
I've gained a lot of muscle
since then too.

62
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:18,549
Does it look a bit weird?

63
00:04:21,344 --> 00:04:22,512
Not at all.

64
00:04:23,805 --> 00:04:24,764
You look pretty good.

65
00:04:25,431 --> 00:04:26,432
Really?

66
00:04:30,186 --> 00:04:31,020
Yeah.

67
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,439
How about it?

68
00:04:33,523 --> 00:04:35,483
Why don't you invite Griffith to dance?

69
00:04:37,694 --> 00:04:40,655
I'm too clumsy.
I'd end up stepping on his feet.

70
00:04:44,325 --> 00:04:47,620
What made you change your mind?

71
00:04:47,704 --> 00:04:51,291
You've never shown yourself
in posh places like this before.

72
00:04:55,211 --> 00:04:57,171
I thought I could observe you all.

73
00:04:59,841 --> 00:05:02,260
All Griffith and the Band
of the Falcon have done,

74
00:05:03,094 --> 00:05:05,346
what they've taken for themselves,

75
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:08,933
and what they will attempt to take
in the future...

76
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:13,062
Guts, are you...

77
00:05:15,523 --> 00:05:16,858
But I am done.

78
00:05:17,734 --> 00:05:19,319
I'm done living within his dream

79
00:05:19,402 --> 00:05:20,570
and looking up to him.

80
00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:30,997
He is the only one

81
00:05:32,373 --> 00:05:34,334
who I cannot let underestimate me.

82
00:05:36,335 --> 00:05:38,838
Wait... you're not...

83
00:06:03,863 --> 00:06:07,950
Distinguished guests, after many years
of trials and tribulations,

84
00:06:08,034 --> 00:06:10,328
it is astounding that
we have made it through,

85
00:06:10,411 --> 00:06:12,622
and I sincerely thank you all.

86
00:06:18,211 --> 00:06:20,588
As you already know,

87
00:06:20,671 --> 00:06:22,006
the work of Lord Griffith

88
00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:26,886
and the Band of the Falcon
was indispensable in securing victory.

89
00:06:27,553 --> 00:06:28,763
For 100 years,

90
00:06:28,846 --> 00:06:32,934
it was thought that no plan
to take Doldrey would succeed.

91
00:06:33,017 --> 00:06:36,479
However, thanks to their strength
and determination,

92
00:06:36,562 --> 00:06:37,939
they have taken it successfully.

93
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:45,404
Thus, to Lord Griffith
and the Band of the Falcon,

94
00:06:45,488 --> 00:06:47,532
I dub you the White Phoenix Knights,

95
00:06:47,615 --> 00:06:51,702
and each commander shall be conferred

96
00:06:51,786 --> 00:06:54,288
the title of knight.

97
00:06:56,249 --> 00:06:58,292
The White Phoenix General...

98
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:00,503
The White Phoenix Knights!

99
00:07:00,586 --> 00:07:01,879
Wow...

100
00:07:11,389 --> 00:07:12,557
This is awful.

101
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,016
They're getting even more imbedded...

102
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:16,144
Ouch...

103
00:07:16,227 --> 00:07:18,312
So it's not a dream.

104
00:07:18,396 --> 00:07:22,608
We are nobles now!

105
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:21,996
Hey, look at that.

106
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:24,165
They're the captains
from the Band of the Falcon.

107
00:10:33,257 --> 00:10:35,801
How did you know I would leave?

108
00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:39,597
I guess it is my natural intuition.

109
00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:42,892
So, why will you leave?

110
00:10:42,975 --> 00:10:44,310
It was out of the blue.

111
00:10:45,394 --> 00:10:46,979
It wasn't sudden.

112
00:10:47,063 --> 00:10:49,315
I've been thinking about it
since before Doldrey.

113
00:10:49,899 --> 00:10:51,525
Is something bothering you?

114
00:10:51,609 --> 00:10:54,779
Something bothering me? Of course not.

115
00:10:54,862 --> 00:10:56,822
The Falcons are different to an army.

116
00:10:57,448 --> 00:11:00,076
All I knew was how to kill,
but being here taught me

117
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:02,662
what it was like to have allies
for the first time.

118
00:11:04,121 --> 00:11:06,290
You've never said
something like that before.

119
00:11:07,291 --> 00:11:09,710
I enjoyed these three years very much.

120
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,131
It felt like an endless party.

121
00:11:14,965 --> 00:11:16,300
I'd never complain about it.

122
00:11:17,718 --> 00:11:19,387
So then, are you leaving?

123
00:11:20,388 --> 00:11:24,809
The only thing I know how to do
is wield a sword.

124
00:11:25,893 --> 00:11:27,520
When I first killed someone,

125
00:11:27,603 --> 00:11:30,731
I was just a kid
who didn't know left from right.

126
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:34,068
<i>Since then, I haven't learned
about anything else.</i>

127
00:11:37,113 --> 00:11:38,697
<i>I just killed to stay alive.</i>

128
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:41,325
<i>That's all I knew.</i>

129
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:44,078
<i>That was everything for me.</i>

130
00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:49,959
<i>But I was happy like that.</i>

131
00:11:51,085 --> 00:11:52,044
<i>Alone...</i>

132
00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:55,506
<i>The foe didn't matter
as long as they came at me.</i>

133
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:01,887
<i>However, being on the battlefield
made me realize that</i>

134
00:12:03,097 --> 00:12:06,225
<i>I was just like a child
having a temperature.</i>

135
00:12:06,725 --> 00:12:09,812
<i>And then, I met him,</i>

136
00:12:11,021 --> 00:12:13,607
someone whom I wanted
to truly see and understand me.

137
00:12:13,691 --> 00:12:15,192
I had finally found them.

138
00:12:16,610 --> 00:12:18,988
<i>He didn't have anything to his name,</i>

139
00:12:19,947 --> 00:12:23,534
<i>but he was trying to obtain everything.</i>

140
00:12:23,617 --> 00:12:24,743
And not just that...

141
00:12:26,287 --> 00:12:29,540
he had something about him
that made me believe he could.

142
00:12:31,834 --> 00:12:35,588
<i>But in order for him
to reach such heights,</i>

143
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:41,343
<i>he continuously had
to push himself to extremes.</i>

144
00:12:42,595 --> 00:12:47,683
<i>That is why there's
no place for the weak by his side.</i>

145
00:12:51,395 --> 00:12:54,190
{\an8}But what's strange
is that the more that rings true,

146
00:12:54,982 --> 00:12:57,943
in my eyes,
he becomes even more enchanting.

147
00:12:58,903 --> 00:13:01,906
By obtaining something on my own,

148
00:13:01,989 --> 00:13:03,491
I want to stand by his side.

149
00:13:05,117 --> 00:13:07,703
I have no interest in status or class.

150
00:13:07,786 --> 00:13:10,247
I want something else...

151
00:13:10,331 --> 00:13:12,333
something I can obtain
with my own two hands.

152
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,045
Guts...

153
00:13:17,713 --> 00:13:20,674
Is there nothing you want like that?

154
00:13:23,761 --> 00:13:25,387
Well, for me...

155
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:28,766
since I was a kid, I always managed
to be good at everything.

156
00:13:29,892 --> 00:13:31,519
Whether a sword or a knife,

157
00:13:31,602 --> 00:13:34,480
I was a bit better
than the average person.

158
00:13:34,563 --> 00:13:35,731
I'm not bragging,

159
00:13:37,191 --> 00:13:39,527
but I'm pretty sharp-witted too.

160
00:13:41,028 --> 00:13:43,864
But I was never the best at anything.

161
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:46,492
So I made a decision.

162
00:13:46,575 --> 00:13:48,994
If I couldn't be the best at anything,

163
00:13:49,078 --> 00:13:52,081
then I would stick close to those who are.

164
00:13:53,582 --> 00:13:56,544
So I don't have dreams.

165
00:13:58,921 --> 00:14:00,631
But don't get me wrong.

166
00:14:00,714 --> 00:14:05,135
I really like the position I am in.

167
00:14:08,472 --> 00:14:12,726
If you think logically about your idea,
it's probably abnormal.

168
00:14:12,810 --> 00:14:14,103
To pursue some vague idea,

169
00:14:14,186 --> 00:14:17,314
you are throwing away
your title as a captain

170
00:14:17,898 --> 00:14:21,569
with the Band of the Falcon
as well as the title of knight.

171
00:14:21,652 --> 00:14:22,903
Why would you do that?

172
00:14:25,155 --> 00:14:30,286
But then, maybe all men are enigmas.

173
00:14:30,369 --> 00:14:33,330
They obsess their entire lives

174
00:14:34,665 --> 00:14:37,042
about dreams and winning or losing.

175
00:14:42,798 --> 00:14:46,844
But I have a question.

176
00:14:48,137 --> 00:14:50,723
What is happening between you and Casca?

177
00:14:50,806 --> 00:14:52,308
What kind of question is that?

178
00:14:54,143 --> 00:14:55,936
After you both fell off that cliff,

179
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:59,273
you seem to have gotten a lot closer?

180
00:14:59,356 --> 00:15:00,691
Really?

181
00:15:00,774 --> 00:15:03,819
Well, we've been through a lot together.

182
00:15:05,905 --> 00:15:07,573
What's that look for?

183
00:15:11,660 --> 00:15:14,872
What if you tried to get with her?

184
00:15:15,706 --> 00:15:16,540
Huh?

185
00:15:17,124 --> 00:15:19,585
Where is this coming from all of a sudden?

186
00:15:19,668 --> 00:15:21,378
Why are you bringing this up?

187
00:15:21,462 --> 00:15:25,633
Everyone in the Band of the Falcon knows
that she has always liked Griffith...

188
00:15:26,216 --> 00:15:30,095
Casca will never be able
to get with Griffith...

189
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:33,349
Like you said,

190
00:15:33,432 --> 00:15:36,143
Griffith started out with nothing,

191
00:15:36,226 --> 00:15:39,855
but now, he's sitting pretty as a general
in the Kingdom of Midland.

192
00:15:40,439 --> 00:15:43,776
The average person
would sit back overjoyed

193
00:15:43,859 --> 00:15:46,570
wondering what else
they could possibly have to wish for.

194
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:48,989
But he won't stop.

195
00:15:49,615 --> 00:15:51,367
With what he is after...

196
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:53,452
he only has one goal in mind.

197
00:15:55,079 --> 00:15:59,333
They say there won't be
any battles here for a while.

198
00:15:59,416 --> 00:16:02,711
This means that Griffith will have
fewer chances for advancement.

199
00:16:03,837 --> 00:16:07,883
Even if he is a lauded general,
he is still just a soldier.

200
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:09,635
He can't become anything more.

201
00:16:10,594 --> 00:16:12,721
He needs to have an ace up his sleeve.

202
00:16:12,805 --> 00:16:15,265
He needs something
to give him a final push.

203
00:16:17,017 --> 00:16:19,937
Don't you get it? He needs the princess.

204
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:24,608
If he can nab Princess Charlotte,

205
00:16:24,692 --> 00:16:28,487
he'll have a shortcut
to realizing his ambitions.

206
00:16:28,570 --> 00:16:30,447
It's his only chance.

207
00:16:31,782 --> 00:16:36,036
Griffith is currently
the famous White Falcon General,

208
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,746
a hero who saved the kingdom.

209
00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:42,376
No one would think him
unworthy of Charlotte.

210
00:16:43,168 --> 00:16:44,461
Coincidentally,

211
00:16:44,545 --> 00:16:49,049
Count Julius, the second in line
to the throne after Charlotte,

212
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,342
<i>and his son, Adonis,</i>

213
00:16:50,426 --> 00:16:53,512
<i>who was seen
as a potential mate for Charlotte,</i>

214
00:16:53,595 --> 00:16:56,682
were both killed unexpectedly.

215
00:17:00,686 --> 00:17:02,604
Guts, did you...

216
00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:04,773
It doesn't matter.

217
00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:10,029
In any case, because of what happened,

218
00:17:10,112 --> 00:17:12,114
no one is standing in Griffith's way.

219
00:17:12,698 --> 00:17:16,243
The princess is very taken with Griffith.

220
00:17:16,326 --> 00:17:18,996
I'm sure it was Griffith
who made her feel like that...

221
00:17:20,205 --> 00:17:24,752
In any case, I'm sure
he won't let this chance go.

222
00:17:25,753 --> 00:17:29,006
Griffith is a special person
in Casca's life.

223
00:17:29,089 --> 00:17:30,591
He's not just an ally.

224
00:17:31,425 --> 00:17:36,597
He saved her from a terrible fate
and gave her a reason to live.

225
00:17:37,431 --> 00:17:40,517
<i>And that's why what Casca feels
for Griffith goes beyond love.</i>

226
00:17:41,101 --> 00:17:43,270
<i>It is closer to worship.</i>

227
00:17:43,937 --> 00:17:48,692
I wonder if a woman
can derive some happiness

228
00:17:48,776 --> 00:17:51,361
from continuing to pursue
a man she'll never have.

229
00:17:53,030 --> 00:17:54,281
In normal circumstances,

230
00:17:54,364 --> 00:17:56,658
if you love someone,
you want them to hold you, right?

231
00:17:57,451 --> 00:18:00,120
Right now, there is a woman next to him

232
00:18:00,204 --> 00:18:04,833
who is indispensable
in helping him fulfill his dreams.

233
00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:07,711
That woman has the power

234
00:18:07,795 --> 00:18:10,297
to give him what he wants
more than anything else.

235
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:14,468
I couldn't handle that.

236
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:22,351
What do you think about Casca?

237
00:18:24,645 --> 00:18:26,855
You've never wanted
to wrap yourself around her?

238
00:18:31,235 --> 00:18:32,569
I...

239
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:35,572
I think she's a good woman.

240
00:18:35,656 --> 00:18:40,160
She's way better than
those nobles' daughters

241
00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:41,537
who know nothing
besides how to play dress-up.

242
00:18:43,288 --> 00:18:46,166
There are precious few women

243
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:47,292
to whom you could entrust
your life in battle.

244
00:18:48,001 --> 00:18:49,294
But...

245
00:18:49,378 --> 00:18:52,172
the way I see her is not as a woman

246
00:18:52,256 --> 00:18:53,298
but as a comrade in battle.

247
00:18:54,424 --> 00:18:55,551
So...

248
00:19:01,014 --> 00:19:01,932
No...

249
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:06,937
I don't feel that way.

250
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:10,399
She is focused on Griffith.

251
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:12,151
So...

252
00:19:12,776 --> 00:19:13,902
For now...

253
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:16,071
I can't do anything now.

254
00:19:22,286 --> 00:19:23,537
So that's how it is?

255
00:19:25,873 --> 00:19:29,960
I thought you had a good shot.

256
00:19:32,379 --> 00:19:34,464
But I guess my intuition was off.

257
00:19:36,133 --> 00:19:39,970
I have enough on my plate
with my own stuff right now.

258
00:19:41,638 --> 00:19:43,223
I hope you find

259
00:19:44,057 --> 00:19:46,226
whatever it is you are looking for.

260
00:22:04,656 --> 00:22:06,908
Long live the Band of the Falcon!

261
00:22:17,169 --> 00:22:18,295
It's freezing...

262
00:23:17,437 --> 00:23:21,191
Guts, we have fought many battles,

263
00:23:21,274 --> 00:23:24,194
and we have been through a lot together.

264
00:23:24,277 --> 00:23:26,822
We are finally being rewarded
for all of that hard work.

265
00:23:27,489 --> 00:23:29,991
And this is just the start
of things getting better.

266
00:23:30,075 --> 00:23:31,368
So why...

267
00:23:31,451 --> 00:23:33,745
I have already made my decision.

268
00:23:33,829 --> 00:23:35,413
But...

269
00:23:37,916 --> 00:23:39,000
Guts!

270
00:23:47,175 --> 00:23:49,010
So you plan on leaving...

271
00:23:50,137 --> 00:23:51,388
the Band of the Falcon?

272
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:55,392
I'm sorry.

273
00:24:00,021 --> 00:24:02,023
