the opportunity to escape himself while Hanging On by a thread in a prison cell he noticed a flower Spirit but thought it was some sort of hallucination later on guts learns he is to lose a battle to

they blast the enemy with cannon fire the next morning gutsy's Griff has taking a shower and they begin to Splash each other and you know in a non-homo sort of way guts then notices the bahayla on

will fight for my cause because you belong to me in the next battle God's charges in by himself and earns the respect of his fellow comrades all except for Costco that is who excoriates guts for breaking rank file and endangering the entire Mission tensions continue to boil until Griffith intervenes afterwards Griffith attains the rank of Knighthood which is unheard of for a commoner the preceding battle goes well for the most part until they hear a rumor that nosferet2 Zod has been recruited by the enemy as the legend goes the Savage Warrior has killed for hundreds of years and is considered Immortal guts unfazed by the lone man who guards the castle enters in to fight the Demonic creature guts does well to stop zod's sword which hasn't been done in 50 years but is completely outmatched by the legendary Warrior despite this however guts is thrilled by the challenge of fighting the strongest Warrior he's known guts does well to drive a sword in zod's body but this only causes Zod to transform into a demonic Beast as guts struggles to stay alive Griffith and his men intervene but this only angers Zod further Griffith and guts then combine their talents to inflict more pain on the immortal Zod but it isn't long before Zod takes control once again after approaching Griffith Zod notices the bahaelit on his neck and displays a look of unequivocal dread Zod then gives guts a prophecy if you can be said to be a true friend of this man then take heed when his ambition collapses death will pay you a visit a death you can never escape the band of the hawk arrive in Windham the Royal capital of Midland to rest up after infuriating koska to no end she punches guts in the face before he can respond he notices tears coming from Costco's face guts then leaves and

for his devote service princess Charlotte the king's only daughter carelessly trips over a stone but is caught by Griffith just before she injures herself General Julius the king's brother smacks Griffith for touching the princess to which Griffith promptly apologizes Minister Foss then alerts Julius to the fact that the band of the hawk will accompany the King on his Autumn hunt angering Julius profoundly Foss then floats an idea about a stray arrow with poison accidentally hitting Griffis during the upcoming hunt pleasing Julius immensely as Griffith is making small talk with Charlotte during the hunt a wild boar scares the princess's horse leading her to a small pond where Griffis assassin patiently Waits after saving Charlotte's the poisonous arrow pierces Griffith's armor luckily though it hit the bahayla without touching his skin after taking note of the strong poison and meeting julius's gaze Griffith begins to formulate his own machinations one in which Griffith asks guts to kill Julius who is second in line to the throne after secretly watching Julius train his son Adonis in the way of the sword guts is reminded of his time with Gambino and begins to have reservations about the assassination plot guts goes through with it anyway though killing Julius rather easily but when a door creaks open guts lunges forward and kills Adonis as well guts proceeds to fight his way through the castle and after reaching a point of pure exhaustion passes out in an underground Channel after returning to the hawk battered and bruised guts goes to Griffith who is having a conversation with Charlotte muchas said during the conversation but the most important part comes when Griffith says what I think a friend is is one who is my equal sending a shock wave into gut's soul with Julius gone the band of the hawk becomes the Kingdom's Vanguard third and as such Griffith assumes a prominent position Foss then contemplates eliminating Griffith in the future but when he notices that Griffith has been staring him down he experiences an inescapable dread before departing Charlotte hands Griffith a good luck necklace to take into battle Charlotte's mother the queen castigate Charlotte for associating with Griffith a man of humble birth in the preceding battle koska comes face to face with a dawn of the blue whale Knights and ends up in some trouble before guts comes to her Aid guts takes care of business but because Costco was experiencing stomach pains for unknown reasons she passes out and falls off a ledge as guts comes to her rescue after resuscitating kaska guts drags her inside of a tree as a torrential downpour was not letting up guts quickly realizes though that the female Warrior would die of hypothermia thermia if he didn't strip her clothes off and warm her body up with his own heat guts then realizes that kaska's stomach pain was coming from her monthly period upon waking up guts makes crude remarks about Costco being a woman receiving the female swordsman scorn kaska then reaccounts the past events that were discussed earlier with her joining the band of the hawk guts then realizes that the enemy is closing in on their position and tells koska that they leave by Nightfall Unfortunately they don't make it far before being surrounded by the blue whale Knights after denying adan's deal guts and koska make their final stand Adan eventually calls Upon A towering man named Samson who initially gives guts some trouble before he has his head sliced open guts instructs kaska to take this moment to escape and return to her swordmaster Griffis guts begins to slice and dice the horde of adversaries as koska gets captured luckily she defends herself long enough before the band of the hawk intervenes but there's no time for leisure as koska leads her comrades to guts who just finished killing 100 men by himself Upon returning to Camp kaska receives elf dust from Judo to heal gut's wounds while applying the dust guts and koska talk about the light of fire personifying one's dream and how Griffith has combined those tiny fires into one blazing Inferno guts also hints at the idea of leaving the band of the hawk afterwards Griffith finds himself in a meeting with the Midland generals and the King about seizing the Tudor Army stronghold doldry Castle Griffith volunteers the band of the hawk for the mission of taking the stronghold via fighting the Purple Rhino Knights meanwhile at doldry Castle Lord gennan requests that buscon the leader of the Purple Rhino Knights to capture Griff surface alive and unharmed during the climactic battle it seems the two opposing forces are evenly matched but Griffith decides to retreat his men baskan though seems content with yielding to this move but Lord gennan demands that they capture the White Hawk so they recklessly send all their men in pursuit of the band of the hawk while the Purple Rhino Knights are distracted koska and a fleet of men burst through the doldry barrier to seize the castle however to take the castle koska must defeat to Dawn meanwhile the band of the hawk has re-engaged with the Purple Rhino Knights and guts finds himself paired up against the formidable buscon in the midst of the battle guts sword breaks and it looks like it's all over until nasferatuzad Chucks a sword from a nearby Cliff to gut's position guts grabs the sword and chops off the head of biscon while koska takes down a dawn with the capture of the castle and the death of their leader the band of the hawk completed their mission and to cap things off Griffith expelled Lord Ganon from his mortal existence however before Zod leaves the scene he claims the eclipse will soon come afterwards Foss the queen and other cloaked figures plot their revenge on Griffith for killing Julius Griffith in the band of the hawk returned to Midland to a celebratory parade but during the proceedings Foss reads a distressing note and begins to panic A celebratory ball is held for the band of the Hawks accomplishment and the King declares that each member of the hawk will be knighted and that Griffith would become the white Phoenix General during the king's toast Griffith took a sip from his chalice and collapsed onto the floor while celebrating their accomplishment of killing Griffiths the queen and her accomplices noticed some smoke coming from the creaks of the floor after finding out the room was locked an explosive fire engulfed them leaving them to burn alive in their own grave Griffith who faked his own death watched the affair from a safe distance and claimed those who die on the battlefield are not royalty nobility or commoners they are the defeated who die afterwards it is revealed that Griffith used false allegiance to the queen to arrange the eventual betrayal he did so by kidnapping foss's daughter Elise who he promptly returned after the Queen's death to tie up Loose Ends guts killed The Men Who kidnapped The Minister's daughter as instructed by Griffith several days later a royal funeral was held for the queen a month afterwards guts collected his belongings and prepared himself for a new adventure without the band of the hawk kaska caught up to guts and delayed him long enough for corkus and Judo to take guts to a bar and talk things over a bit although much is said gut's Central message is that he wants to be on equal footing with Griffis via searching for his own dream and purpose in life upon leaving Judo has a one-on-one talk with guts and even floats the idea of pursuing kaska guts shocked by this statement claims that Griffith and koska are meant to be but Judo reveals that Griffith must marry Charlotte if he is ever to attain his own kingdom as day breaks guts runs into Griffith and the other prominent members of the hawk after guts makes his intentions known Griffith draws his sword and claims I thought I told you then that you belong to me Griffith and guts prepare for their Monumental battle each man allowing a million thoughts to race through their mind yet gut seems more Placid than the normally Serene Griffith meanwhile kaska is torn between who she wants to win Griffis plays out scenarios in his head of how he will defeat guts and determines that if he was to kill him it's better than not having him in his service at all with the drop of some snow Griffith lunges towards guts fully intending to Kill The Swordsman but it is to no avail as God's powerful swing chips Griffith's sword flinging the point of the blade in another Direction guts henceforth is the winner kaska desperately pleads with guts to stay nevertheless The Swordsman is firm in his resolve and doesn't so much as glance back at her or his other companions under the Moonlight guts reminisces about his time with the band of the hawk that is until an ominous Spirit resembling nosferret to Zod approaches his position and lashes his sword towards guts after evading the strike the figure comes into focus it is a man or inspector of a man who divulges a mysterious premonition about an event that will occur in one year's time the eclipse during the same time Griffith appears at Charlotte's window and uses the opportunity to gift her a knight she would not soon forget unfortunately one of Charlotte's handmaids saw the lustful Behavior through a keyhole and reported the findings to the king's Royal Guard Griffiths henceforth was captured the king wasted no time in flogging Griffis in the torture chambers unfazed by the physical pain Griffith insinuates that the king wishes to have Charlotte for himself enraging the king to no end yet it turns out that Griffith's accusation was true revealing the king to be a Bonafide pervert afterward the band of the hawk is tasked with an erroneous mission to lure them into a compromised position meanwhile Griffith continues being tortured by a deformed man the man inspects Griffis bahayla but accidentally drops it into the sewer meanwhile guts is staying with a blacksmith goto and his daughter it's a pivotal period in which guts learns more about himself and his purpose in life roughly a year later an arms tournament is being held in which we meet slat a kushin warrior despite his slender appearance slap makes quick work of his hulking opponent next up on the docket is guts but he is not thrilled by his set opponent so he proposes that him and Salat Duo one another slat's quick Maneuvers surprise guts at first but it's not long before he demonstrates his clear superiority afterwards guts finds out that Costco is now the leader of the band of the hawk leaving him in a state of enraged confusion we learned that Costco has been in charge of the band of the hawk for a year now and is beginning to show signs of mental and physical fatigue after getting ambushed by Salat and his men guts and shrewds upon the proceedings and re-engages Salat for another battle slat does well to prove his medal but guts ultimately proves too much for the crafty Warrior after the hawk rejoices and guts return they get guts up to speed with all the events over the past year and inform him that their sole mission is to rescue Griffith kaska inadvertently asked guts to have a discussion now with words though but with the sword after koska misses several times she yells Griffis no good without you and subsequently pierces guts koska bemoans what became of the hawk and how her dream died the day guts left Griffith's side she collapses near a cliff but guts hastily grabs her arm in the nick of time and throws her to safety and the throes of all the emotional turmoil and vulnerability kaska lowers her barriers and allows guts to embrace her in a surprising display way of Love consequently as guts assumes a certain position he is reminded of the night that Donovan raped him and without sinking he places his hands around koska's neck guts then divulges his heinous past and his regrets for killing his foster father Gambino kaska calms The Swordsman down by giving him emotional reassurance something Gods has rarely experienced in his life guts lets koska know that he will Aid them in Saving Griffith but will part ways thereafter henceforth claiming from now on every battle will be my own after a brief dispute by The Faded lovers guts declares his intentions of being with kaska for the foreseeable future while hallucinating in his torture chamber Griffith begins to see four mysterious figures shrouded in darkness who say we shall meet we are Kinsmen o blessed king of longing Costco leads an expedition to Windham to rescue Griffiths during the night they enter an underground passage that leads to a mausoleum there they meet Charlotte who guides them through the Labyrinth that is the castle while walking Charlotte tells koska that Griffith was in the chamber the night he got caught by the handmaid they arrive at the tower of rebirth where Griffith is being kept and Judo floats the idea of taking Charlotte's as a hostage Charlotte listening in volunteers herself as a hostage despite reservations Costco eventually accepts Charlotte as a hostage after Judo takes out the guards the hawk enters the Tower of rebirth meanwhile back at Camp Ricker notices an elf in the night sky hastily he returns to Camp only to find blazing fires and a horde of Monsters the Specter that warned guts of the eclipse one year prior comes to rickard's Aid and Wards off the Fearsome monster while Rickard sobs in fear the Specter leaps into the night as if he never existed at all while descending down the Tower of rebirth Charlotte recounts the story of King geyserick that was discussed at the beginning of this video and gut's remarks sounds kind of like Griffith at the bottom of the tower unbeknownst to the members of the hawk are the remains of geyserich's kingdom and a slew of skulls with an ominous mark on their foreheads the hawk arrives at Griffis chamber only to find the former leader in a wretched State guts opens Griffith's helmet only to be horrified by what he sees then as Griffith notices guts he puts his hands around the swordsman's neck as if to choke him something Judo picks up on but no one else really does but guts overcome with emotion Embraces Griffith in a hug but this reunion takes a turn when the deformed man locked the cell door guts ask if the deranged man tortured Griffith and when the man admits to his misconduct Griffith drives his sword through the door and into the deformed Man's Chest an arrow comes down to worn guts and his comrades to stand down but guts goes berserk and Slaughters his way through every last guard leaving nothing but blood and entrails in his wake the king Witnesses the remains of the battle bemoans losing his precious Charlotte and instructs the guards to summon the bakiraka a group of five highly skilled assassins who barely resemble men at all while escaping the sewer the hawk runs into the bakiraka and while one blows the dart toward Griffith Charlotte Shields him with her own body but passes out in the process the bakuraka offered to take Charlotte off their hands and give her the necessary antidote to the poison in the dart Charlotte denies and the band of the hawk fight the bakuraka under the instruction of Judo after they take out some of the members a blazing fire comes down the sewer forcing the hawk to run after some quick Thinking by Pippin the hawk escapes the bakuraka after the king is disappointed and dispatches the bakiraka he decides to send out Wild and the black dog Knights a glimpse five years in the past shows why old to be a ruthless animal-like man that took charge of a criminal Warrior group called The Black Dog Knights such was their callous nature that they would violate women and butcher children and now they were after the band of the hawk after raping and mutilating a village of civilians the dogs were rapidly closing in on the hawk guts and Pippin slash through the weaker soldiers but Wilde stepped in and caught gutz's hand in mid-swing up ahead koska rigs a bridge with explosives while guts becomes ominously aware of how strong why all that truly is comparing him to Zod and the skull Knight after the bridge blows up Wilde walks Drew unscathed as the hawk continues to run away guts contemplates the skull Knight's words from one year ago wild continues to plow through each trap the hawk sets until guts declares one-on-one combat with the animal-like man while the easily blocks each of gut's Swift attacks even catching his blade in his mouth while this continues to go on koska and the hawk take control of the battle with the black dog Knights wild unfazed by this loss punches a tree down on his own men while then transforms into a demonic Beast much like Zod and puts guts down for the count while proceeds to obliterate every soldier in sight while koska attempts to wake guts up while seizes the opportunity to grab kaska strip her down and slide his tongue dick around her body until gut slices that chubby clean off guts begins his final assault on wild even though he is trembling in ways he's never trembled despite doing well the chop while all down and inflict damage the hulking monster proves too robust for guts the injuries begin to take their toll on guts an apprehension begins to break his resolve but a last-ditch tactic is tried one in which guts chokes waialald with a sword and Jabs a dagger into his eye and it works pasca sews up guts wounds and becomes distressed by his disregard for his well-being guts then has a one-side conversation with Griffith and subsequently places Griffis armor on his body wyald who is supposed to be dead is still hanging on by a thread upon entering the Hawks Camp he grabs Griffith and urges him to summon them the great ones are Guardian Angels why all then strips Griffis armor down to reveal the appalling state of his physical body after wondering where Griffis bihalis is Zod barges in and pitchforks wild with his horns and tears his body asunder Zod tells Griffith that the bahaelit will return to his hand and promptly leaves the band of the hawk is in a state of turmoil amidst the realization that Griffith's dream is dead kaska goes to change Griffith's bandages and while doing so Griffith falls down on her seeing the trembled state that he is in koska can do nothing more than place a reassuring hand on his back while contemplating his future the Hawks members requests that guts lead them guts then talks to kaska and she mentions how she can't leave Griffith in such a fragile state but she urges guts to push forward and attain his own dream listening in Griffis sees a vision of of the Kingdom he so sorely desires using the last of his strength Griffith takes the horse's Reigns and desperately pursues his dying dream The Carriage hits a rock and griffith is thrown into the air a vision occurs where Griffith contemplates a fantasy marriage with kaska reality Strikes Back in the most cruel of Fashions to Griffith suicide looks like a sweet blessing at this point but he can't go through with it it is then that Griffith finds the bahaylit in his hand the hawk catches up to Griffith and sees a sight beyond words despite the ominous atmosphere guts rushes towards Griffith and as soon as he touches his shoulder the Festival begins the hawk begins to panic at The abject horror they are witnessing the eclipse as it were is bringing terrible creatures to life a gigantic naked woman with dark Wings Rises up a fat-faced man with glasses smile down at the hawk a bald man who clenches his hands together keeps his mouth ajar in a most peculiar fashion and a cloaked man with his entire brain exposed cast an impressive Shadow over the entire proceedings the four gods are here for the honorable child the hawk and The Companions of the hawk are to be his sacrifice so Griffith may become a demon the time is now at hand for us to perform the invocation of Doom Griffith Rises to The Godly altar attempting to take guts with him as Griffith comes face to face with the angels slash demons he takes a step back into his own past he quickly comes to a pile of dead bodies and realizes that they all died for his cause to build the Crimson bridge to the desired Kingdom but many more bodies were needed to accomplish the goal apologize repent and say goodbye to the dream pile the corpses and chant I sacrifice and the dream will continue with Raven black wings Griffith accepts the proposition and admits that guts was the only man to ever make him forget his dream each member of the hawk is branded and the Festival begins its gruesome barrage of attacks guts learns that those marked with the brand of sacrifice will be hunted down incessantly until their agonizing death outside the eclipse Rickard comes upon a whirlwind that is reigning lightning and in the distance he sees skull Knight and Zod fighting each other amid the battle Zod barks at school night you who have been our Foe for a millennium I figured you wouldn't let this chance slip past Zod and skolnai continued their battle as everything goes to hell inside the eclipse Judo and koska escape on a horse but it isn't long before the monsters knock them down Judo defends kaska with his body while koska makes her own attempts at fighting back due to severe blood loss Judo can't impart his final message of love to kaska and ends up tumbling in stride the monsters close in on kaska and begin to tear her clothes off guts ferociously fights off the endless barrage of monsters as Griffith begins to sink into another world God the mysterious swirling being announces itself as the idea of evil his Essence coming into being because of the human need for reason it weaves Destiny through the lower levels of human consciousness manipulating history for reasons that remain unknown it concludes by stating do as you will a Chosen One Griffith then asked God for wings to which he obliges guts continues fighting losing control of his sanity in the process friend after friend perishes in front of his eyes as the situation looks increasingly insurmountable then gut sees kaska completely naked and in the possession of a monster and completely goes berserk an ominous silence pauses the Bloodshed as the new member of the god hand is officially born the new demon king femto is born Griffith slash femto softly Glides down to guts's position and he proceeds to grope kaska as guts rage a seething femto then violates kaska while guts attempts to chop off his own arm due to the fact that it is trapped in a monster's mouth the scene ends with guts completely losing it and screaming Griffith femto continues his sordid display while guts is forced to watch as things reach their climax skull night burst through the eclipse barrier and forcefully swings his sword toward the leader of the God Hand void but due to a spatial Distortion manifested by void skull night ends up hitting himself skull Knight rushes down the gigantic hand and grabs guts and koska as he escapes the hell-like event the god hand then remarks that it is only the beginning of the age of Darkness skull night tosses guts and koska toward Rickert and tells Zod they would postpone their battle Zod surprised by gut's ability to survive the calamitous event agrees to school night's terms as he's intrigued how guts will survive in a world of Darkness after waking from a nightmare guts finds himself in a cave being taken care of by Rickert and Erica when gut sees kaska he attempts to talk to her but she resists much like a child would and even bites his hand and in the process guts runs from the cave in a panic thinking

child dissolves into nothingness but skull Knight says the child will persist and most likely return to its parents I.E guts and koska skull Knight then leaves guts and wishes him the best of luck gutsenkoska's troubles continue goto then fits guts with a new prosthetic arm that has a cannon inside just then a demonic Beast arrives at goto's doorstep gut's new sword is insufficient in cutting

assumes the role of the leader of the Holy iron chain Knights and takes pride in burning Heretics as it just so happens Serpico's mother was also labeled a heretic and because Serpico whispered mother

Warhammer it should be noted that puck is Meandering around guts at this point as well after escaping a smoker grenade guts ends up in the house of a mutilated man Vargas who claims the count has cut off his body parts and ate them Vargas then shows guts of a halot that he stole from the count apparently the count attained the bahala seven years ago resulting in a fascination with torture and eating people alive Vargas unfortunately was forced to watch the count to eat his wife and sons guts explains that the bahaylas is a key that summons demons from another dimension the five members of the god hand in the meantime the count places a demon inside zandark the man with the Warhammer and he thus uses his increased strength to smash through vargas's house although putting up a better

more guards before confronting the count who has some surprises up his sleeve the cow transforms into his final form and guts learns the seriousness of his situation the count bruises and batters guts to the point that the Black Swordsman displays a look of unparalleled dread the blows take their toll on guts leaving him unable to defend himself Puck notices the bahayla and attempts to keep it from the count the count chases him down until he is seen by Teresa who instinctively screams in horror guts enters The Fray again and eventually uses Teresa as a shield after blasting the count and chopping off his head guts begins to torture the Demonic beast in front of puck in Teresa the count screams I don't want to die and the bihalid activates causing a spatial Distortion that is oddly reminiscent of an MC Escher piece of work it is then that guts notices the presence of the God Hand Griffith the count pleads with void whom he call Archangel to kill the black Swordsmen but they refuse stating his Petty existence is beneath our notice guts attempts to attack his Nemesis Griffith but the Demon's mere presence causes him pain as he has repelled backward the god hand then recount the events that led to the counts becoming an apostle it turns out the Count's wife venerated the Pagan God through sexual practices and when he saw this he sacrificed his wife to the God Hand to become an apostle now to achieve his burning desire killing the Black Swordsman he would have to sacrifice his daughter Teresa the God Hand show the cow to what hell looks like and tell him he has two paths to be reborn as a demon or be absorbed by demon kind the count is tormented by the decision but is unable to respond the dead soul of Vargas as well as others dragged the cow to Hell the Spirits go for guts next as he shoots his Cannon toward Griffith after the departure of the God Hand Teresa sobs for a bit but eventually blames guts for her misfortunes provoking her to yell I'll kill you thus provoking guts to have a look of absolute sorrow on his face something that surprises Puck immensely and also creates one of the greatest memes of all time because you had a bad day sometime after guts saw the god hand at the Count's Castle he saves a girl named Jill from being mutilated by some Bandits after tree Spirit scares the bandits guts has his turn and despite some difficulties he eventually takes down the evil spirits afterward Jill sees Puck and begins to tremble thinking he's an elf from the Misty Valley Jill leads guts and Puck to her village where she gets abused by her drunkard father The Village folks sea Puck and grabbed their weapons with Killer's intent after guts destroys a cart the village folk backed down and Jill directs guts to an abandoned windmill where he will stay for the night the next morning Jill tells a cryptic story about elves killing livestock and carrying away children just then the elves entered Jill's Village obliterating everything in sight upon seeing the pesky creatures guts uses his sword as a fly swatter guts then uses a small child as bait to lure the elves to a small barn where he blasts them to Smithereens with his Cannon guts encounters the queen elf who appears to be an apostle due to his bleeding brand Mark after missing her with his sword Puck notices that these are not elves at all but children the queen elf mysteriously calls Puck pcaf the outcast and begins her assault until Jill calls her Rosine and she mysteriously runs off the burning elves turned back to children and the town's folk are enraged with guts guts uses Jill as a hostage to escape the situation and makes his way to the Misty Valley he must rest up for the night though and when the Sun goes down he sees the demon child in the fire and numerous blazing children walking toward him guts wretches at the thought of killing children and goes insane in the process of butchering them after getting hurt and escaping with Jill he inquires more info about pcaf turns out pcaf was a boy with pointy ears and a red nose who is an outcast in his village apparently he was healed by elves as a baby and was permanently imprinted with their distinct physical characteristics Jill remarks that Rosine once said I am just like the boy from the story pcaf Jill recounts her history with Rosine noting the red-colored stone I.E bahal it she carried around with her one night she said goodbye to Jill and disappeared into the Misty Valley apparently sacrificing her parents to become an apostle Rosine then comes to Jill and invites her to the Misty Valley guts lunges in with his sword and injures Rosine causing her to become enraged Rosine then flies away with Jill and entices her to become an elf guts enters the Misty Valley only to find the bandits that harass Jill but this time they have transformed into demonic creatures gut staves off the insect-like apostles but quickly realizes there are numerous more yet despite the improbable odds guts gets a crazed look in his eye and begins slaughtering every last one of them as guts continues fighting against a praying mantis and a stag beetle the holy iron chain Knights arrive in the village and find out that the Black Swordsman killed the children and has been the instigator of numerous grisly incidents guts battle with the Mantis and the beetle is not going well well as he's sustaining severe damage in a last-ditch effort however he blasted two with his Cannon and Strikes them down with his massive sword despite this Victory gutz's blood loss is reaching a critical level back to Rosine and Jill they finally reached the Misty Valley and it looks like a virtual Paradise Rosine asked Jill to stay and become an elf but Jill is unsure as she contemplates the idea Puck attempts to persuade her otherwise suddenly the elves begin killing each other in a joyful manner horrified by the sight of dead elves turning back into dead children Jill and Puck run away to an area with giant cocoons Rosine enters in and explains that the cocoons are used to transform children into elves after some disagreement between the two Rosine sedates Jill and tells her not to worry for she'll be an elf soon enough Jill sees the mangled bodies and snaps out of it gut sets the cocoons Ablaze as he smashes more elves with his sword Jill looks at guts and begins to tremble feeling as though he is a terrifying monster meanwhile the holy iron chain Knight see the massacre the Black Swordsman Left Behind from earlier and farnese claims Black Swordsmen no Hawk of Darkness I swear I will catch you personally I swear it's on my face the elves attack guts all at once but the Black Swordsman sets everything Ablaze including himself and uses the goo from inside the cocoons to douse himself guts attempts to strike Rosine but she is too quick for his sword Rosine then transforms into a bug-like demon with a Nintendo resembling a spear and fully charges towards guts although she misses Rosine flies by guts at supersonic speeds causing guts to feel intense pain especially in his eardrums guts blocks head with his arms and when razine pierces him she takes him up to the sky guts feigns that he's passed out and when Rosine lets her guard down he blasts her with his Cannon guts falls from the sky and crashes on the hard ground although causing significant damage to Rosine guts laments how he failed to kill her up until this point looking at Jill guts gets an idea a Savage idea Rosine rushes to Jill and says the two can run away together however with the Apostle distracted guts gashes Rosine with his sword and as a result blood and a dead corpse fall onto Jill causing her to laugh maniacally guts holds on to Rosine as she flies into the air in the climactic battle Rosine is absolutely losing it laughing in a crazed Manner and guts is going just as insane with vengeance guts eventually slices Rosine open like a watermelon as he falls back to the ground and Rosine does the same we then take a brief glimpse into the past when Rosine first went to the Misty Valley she was looking for elves but couldn't find any and her father and mother found her but unfortunately her father began to slap her and call her an idiot for believing in such things at the peak of emotional turmoil Rosine began to cry and the bahaileth activated and we can thusly conclude that Rosine did in fact sacrifice her parents to become an apostle as Rosine is in her final moments she begins to talk to Jill on how there were no elves but Puck reassures her that at one point there were elves in the misty Valley despite this bittersweet ending guts begins to absolutely lose himself in Rage guts apoplectic with rage brings his sword to its apex reading it to strike Rosine Jill with tears in her eyes pleads with guts to stop guts with his rage at its peak is hit with an arrow from Jill's father and is chased Away by the holy iron chain Knights Rosine wakes up and says she has to fly home for dinner after some touching moments Rosine Fades away into the night the holy iron chain Knights continue looking for guts as Jill asked to travel with the Black Swordsman gutsch shows her the world she'd be entering if she did so gut slices some Demon Spirits covers Jill with his cloak and says there's no Paradise for you to escape to guts leaves into the night and Jill says goodbye to Puck as day breaks skull night sees the remnants of gut's mess in the misty Valley skull Knight finds rosine's bihel it and mysteriously eats it guts is haunted by evil spirits that tell him he'll become a beast of Darkness if he continues on his current path as guts wonders how many more more Apostles he has to kill to reach Griffith Puck rejoins gutz's Journey but it looks like the holy iron chain Knights have found their target farnese tells her men to seize the Black Swordsman in his exhausted State guts can't swing his sword so he gets a little bit creative with dodging the soldiers but when he's cornered he musters all the strength he can and cuts through five men at once Vice Commander Azan intervenes with his iron club and throws a barrage of Swift yet precise attacks guts his way despite his debilitated State guts Dodge is well enough but as he starts to lose feeling in his limbs guts jumps on azan's club and goes for farnese as far nice trembles in fear she feebly attacks guts while Serpico tosses a dart and guts a stye overcome with damage and exhaustion guts face plants and the holy iron chain Knights cheer for our nieces Valor guts is placed in a medieval restraint as he's taken to the holy iron chain Knights encampment varnish begins to question guts's motives but when guts mocks her conception of God farnese whips him with Fury guts is placed in a small cage in The Frigid night just as the demons are drawn to his blood luckily Puck stole the keys to the cage and when guts goes to retrieve his gear he sees farnese shirtless and participating in self-flagellation with a small chop guts incapacitates for our niece and uses her as a hostage to escape the holy iron chain Knights Serpico makes Chase though but as he draws his crossbow he notices a Cavalcade of demonic spirits the spirits attack guts and farnese begins to panic after being thrown from the horse farnes sees the spirits enter wild dogs and can't believe her eyes guts responds that is why it's called a miracle gut slashes the demonic dogs as far nice goes to the horse to mount it and Escape but this is no ordinary Horse no it is the infamous rape horse of Berserk after seeing farnese in distress and being reminded of kaska gut slashes the horse and the other demons until Daybreak Bernice bemoans her uselessness while an evil spirit enters her body the spirit insinuates that she whips herself for sexual pleasure fernice sends strips and climbs on top of guts's sword with her vag on the blade she asks guts to split her open slowly Puck Wards off the spirit and farnese tells Serpico to kill guts foreign [Music] sidesteps this request but proves his medal with a quick draw of the sword plagues and calamitous events are ravishing the land but the people believe a desired Hawk will bring peace Labon a Midland General sees the devastation and Dreadful states of Affairs as leban reflects on the downfall of the Kingdom the second in command reports that the King has succumbed to illness the rats then configure themselves to resemble Conrad of the God Hand Charlotte is summoned to the king in his dying State Foss then says the hawk will come again the king is in a state of delirium seeing the griffis-like hawk come down and prevent Charlotte from touching him Thunder cracks in the sky and the King passes away in a battlefield Zod kills 300 armed soldiers afterwards he wonders if anyone besides skull night can challenge him the White Hawk descends upon Him Zod Roars with all his strength but the hawk slices off one of his horns with a gust of wind an ominous quote is red when the sky falls at the Holy Ground where blind sheep gather and erect a pillar of fire it will come the desired will come guts takes a nap and dreams of kaska getting burned at the stake upon waking up gut sees the demon child once more but this time with koska's face and she repeats the same prophecy that Zod just heard worried about kaska guts returns to godo's house Erica took Costco to pick fruit and koska escaped Erica sobs and berates guts for leaving for two years gutsen finds out that that goto is in poor health godo proceeds to lecture guts on how he should abandon his current path as he's become a metaphorical sword with a large crack Rickards and Erica take guts to the hill of Swords a resting ground for the Fallen members of the band of the hawk guts rest up for the night but goto's words about abandoning kaska ring in his head as guts relives the eclipse the Beast of Darkness Returns and tells guts the blood must flow so keep killing it will still thirst forever alone always guts wonders if he's made the same mistake in leaving the hawk that he made with kaska but he stands and proclaims I'll never lose her again although he's ill go to refashion guts's sword to its former glory and record repairs gutz's prosthetic arm guts makes his way to Saint Albion Temple otherwise known known as the Tower of conviction the holy iron chain Knights talk about the kushan invasion that happened recently and we see a glimpse of farnese being relieved of her assignment of capturing the black Swordsmen their new assignment is to guard the most feared and reviled Inquisitor in the land mosgus a group of people are after mosgus's head but his disciples or torturers take care of business mosgas then proclaims that all the

impoverishing people's spirits but mosgus reiterates that thou shall not question God's will a boy named Keem comes to Nina and after getting upset with him she tells him to come to the Riverside by midnight Nina gets joaquim to Omit his love so she grabs his hand and urges him to see the edge of the world with her Nina takes Joachim to a pagan sex orgy where fornication is as ubiquitous as the air you breathe to become initiated joaquim must kiss the leader's heart and penis which looks like a snake and drink from a bowl the bowl unfortunately has a human finger and subsequently runs away Luca walks in and physically punishes Nina for her abhorrent Behavior while walking Nina back home Costco walks in on the orgy and when she's Stripped by one of the members she screams and evil spirits begin to infiltrate people's bodies before anything happens though the demon child protects kaska and disappears into nothingness Isidro who's been tailing guts attempts to pilther his sword

him down a hill guts then runs away for an entire day attempting to reach the Tower of conviction before running into an old friend skull night and guts seem to be converging on the same location and it's possible the leader of the God Hand will be there as well skull Knight also reveals that every 1 000 years someone in the Divine realm is incarnated in the human world and the Revelation foretells a hawk of light essentially the event imitates the eclipse skolnate mentions that all events fall within the flow of causality however my new details cannot be predicted by the god hand and skull Knight will attempt to exploit this to his Advantage skull Knight leaves by saying your lover will be left alone it won't be as simple as catching two birds furnace gives the orders to burn

his head off a pair of mysterious eyes watch his guts Serpico Corners guts on a narrow ledge and the two begin to fight each other the advantage of this approach for Serpico is that because of guts's right arm being pinned up against the wall he isn't able to draw his massive sword furthermore the sun is in gut's eyes and his heavy equipment is more of a hindrance than a help despite this guts catches Serpico's sword with his hand crushes it and points his bow at him but Serpico's evasive moves allow him to escape the blacks swordsman for now afterwards gut sees kaska being taken away by

eventually drops her but before hitting the ground skull Knight catches the girl and brings her to safety then he stares at the mysterious creature with eyes and tells him to show himself mosgus grows wings and tells guts he will pay for his sins guts fights mosgus disciples who all grow wings as well and seems to have success but they are stronger than first thought skull Knight initiates his battle with the mysterious being it is then that Lucas sees a sight beyond words the being recounts his life's Story by stating he was ostracized by society and was driven underground where corpses were tossed eventually he met with the five angels and he was transformed into the egg that will hatch the quote-unquote perfect world he then divulges that he has been nudging critical events along

intervenes the two go back and forth for a while but it's clear guts is on the defensive however guts eventually lands a blow on the immortal creature while Griffith contemplates his inner feelings that seem to originate within the demon child which fused with his vessel odd transforms giving guts everything he can handle and then some koska sensing the presence of the demon child approaches the hill as Zod shatters a nearby Rock Griffith Shields the former unit commander of the hawk kaska cries out as she senses the child within Griffith but Griffith and Zod Retreat as Griffith reminds guts

in the hands of three lustful soldiers who strip her clothes off koska's muscle memory from her days with a hawk kicks in as she dispatches the three hastily upon seeing kaska's naked body guts's libido kicks in and after dodging kaska's sword strike he pins her down and forces his lips upon her kaska resists but the Beast of Darkness eggs him on to tear her to shreds guts pulls back before

that his involvement with the hawk will be the stuff of Legends meanwhile farnese is beginning to feel useless as she is more of a hindrance than anything else one day she loses sight of kaska and ends up hiding in a tree all night a Shepherd gives guts in the gang directions to virtanis a port by the sea that will allow them to reach Puck's Homeland elf Helm but with all the military activity it's going to be dangerous and they also need to avoid trolls on the way they there guts continues training East Dro and it looks like the young lad is making some progress but Good's urge is the lad to utilize his wits to sink through battles rather than coming in with a preset plan serpco tells guts that if our niece wishes to continue her adventure with the Black Swordsman then he'll do his best to get along however if things go awry Serpico will hash things out with his sword a troll snatches for anise and koska but Isidro stops it by chucking a rock at its head the troll clenches its ax with Fury as Isidro draws his sword reading himself for a legitimate battle the troll pushes Isidro around and eventually looks poised for the final blow but a witch throws berries at its face and tells Isidro to take a look around surrounded by beastly trolls the witch uses various magical spells to drive them away guts wonders if there could be an apostle in the area before they run into a man that was attacked by trolls the man identifies as Morgan and is looking for a witch to save his Village from the trolls after crossing the witch's magical barrier they arrive at a cryptic house with trees growing out of it just then hordes of Golems begin to converge on guts in the gang and the Black Swordsman does what he does best slicing and dicing the Golems continue coming until serpco finds out that a miniature version of the Golem must be destroyed to prevent it from regenerating shirka the small Witch is told by her mistress to invite the new visitors into the house the mistress Flora welcomes him into the Mansion of the spirit tree and acknowledges that guts and koska are both branded and she's been waiting for their arrival flora and guts strike a verbal deal that if guts helped shirka in protecting Morgan's Village she'll produce a Talisman that will weaken the effects of the brand of sacrifice during dinner Flora elaborates on the Astro World being like the afterlife sure expands on this by saying that the astral world is the world of spirits and that the other is the origin of all existence the world of idea and as one descends deeper in the astral World there may even exist a place of Heaven and Hell gut shows Flora a bahalet and the witch claims that it links the lower levels of the Astro World to the physical she then says guts's malice which has kept him alive to this point is also a shackle that threatens those closest to him Flora then says that the members of the God Hand were once human and now execute the will of something lurking in the abyss of the astral realm shirka tells Flora that guts is foolish for opposing the transcendental entities especially if that being is the hawk the absolute Flora advises shirka to be more open-minded about fate for it may be her Destiny to Aid the struggler on his journey shirka draws the Talisman on guts's brand and gives everyone a magical fetish to fend off the Ethereal beings like the trolls Serpico receives a wind cloak and sword Isidro receives a salamander dagger which has fire Elementals and casca and farnese receive silver chain shirts while farnese also gets a silver knife Flora sees them off shortly after she has a cryptic conversation with the skull Knight who seems to know her quite well trolls attacked the village of Enoch as Morgan returns during a funeral Morgan shows Circa to the villagers but they are skeptical that a mere child can help them the village priest reinforces their doubts and even claims that witches are symbols of wickedness despite this guts secures lodging for his companions shirka offers everyone a piece of her hair to tie around their finger so that they can communicate with one another through thought transference Circa assumes the leadership position in the future battle but it angers East Dro fuming Israel goes to the river to swing his sword he then encounters Morgan and the old man tells the boy how witches saved his mother from the brink of death God save shirka from some boys throwing rocks at her shirko then tells guts that the Holy See built this church in Enoch on Holy Land and have thus tarnished the area for political power in addition because of the Holy Seas influence the villagers of Enoch drove Flora away from this area long ago hence shirka despises them just then a small army of trolls rushes into the village as the villagers seek safety in the church Serpico uses his magical fetish to slice the heads off two trolls the sheer number of repulsive creatures forces them to run until koska trips and farnes shields her with her body Serpico defends the two and is shocked to see farnes put someone else's life before her own guts walks in and slices multiple trolls at once the town's folk are impressed with guts's performance as shirko remarks he is superhuman shirk announces that she will use magic to extend the bulwark I.E the defensive barrier around the church and uses thought transference to ask the three guys to buy some time the priest outraged with shirka's Wicked Behavior commands her to cease her activity it is then that furnished draws a parallel between the priest's behavior and her own as leader of the Holy iron chain Knights furnace stops the priest as shirka performs her incantation the villagers enter the church only to see the trolls already inside guts continues fending off the trolls a serpco and East stroke go in the church trolls surround cosca and the church as farnese does her best to Ward them off Isidro ends up in a compromised position but is saved by Morgan shirka summons the Lords of the east west south and north to protect the church the magic that pervades the land incinerates the trolls heals up Morgan's wounds and repels all Spiritual Beings that would bring harm shirk enlightens the priest by stating that she has built a shrine in her heart to communicate with the Spiritual Beings Allah large ogre makes its presence

he also contemplates the end result of their Journey looking out the window gut sees what looks like branches in the Moonlight off in the distance the Moonlight boy merely stares in silence before

means Heaven and Hell might also exist Locus borrows Rickert for a moment to show him another side of the hawk of light Locust deduces that record wishes to inquire about the eclipse that transformed Griffiths but just then they enter an arena where War demons are fighting like a scene Out of Hell Locus claims that Griffith has given everyone a place in his kingdom which makes them all feel satisfied hence it's a veritable Utopia during tea time the pontiff says he has two wishes before he dies to preside over Griffith and Charlotte's wedding and place the crown on Griffith's head Locust

departing isma's mom tells everyone that time flows differently here shirka indirectly references the pcaf story from the Lost Children chapter mentioning how decades can pass by in short periods of time on elf Helm the crew walks on and encounters a mysterious graveyard but shirka claims it's a barrier to keep people out which is watch the crew in secret as guts encounters magical scarecrows guts isadro and Serpico take the Scarecrow throws down or so they thought shirka explodes their heads with magic and mentions how the scarecrows were put under a spell that she manipulated a flaming

however that is only one step as he will continue to soar ever higher getfriend leads the crew through the magical forest donnen one of the female Mages blows a horn to get everyone's attention done and then escorts them into the tree and undergoes a magical transformation welcome to elf Helm Travelers it turns out that Donnan is the flower storm Monarch or what I referred to earlier as king hanafabuku now just for some clarification in the original Japanese text King was written with gender neutral kanji which literally translates to ruler which can either be a king or queen and from 2018 onwards reprints simply referred to her as the flowerstorm Monarch and not King hanafabuku Dunning claims that if they use the corridor of dreams they can restore kaska's mental state dunnin takes the two witches shirka and farnese with koska to the the magic mushroom bed to perform the ritual upon falling asleep shirken farnese exit their own dreams to enter deep within kaska's psyche uh

dog to be guts or to be clear the guts that exist within Costco's psyche the girls open the casket only to see the shattered remains of Costco's ego Consciousness inside the broken doll a small elf-like Spirit of koska dwells which represents her true self as guts and the crew enjoy The Nightlife the Black Swordsman thanks everyone for everything they've done likewise serpco thinks guts for breathing life into lady farnese inside Costco's mind shirka and farnese encounter memory fragments from Costco's past which restores a piece of the broken doll they continue confronting more and more

rotting root Lord and the wheel of flame furnice summons a mosgus head to protect them from two phallic monsters they reach the final fragment housed in a giant egg the large caligonous bird sweeps by the two serving as a guardian to the final fragment the miasma transforms into a Cavalcade of grotesque monsters struggling to protect the coffin the guts like dog dons the Berserker armor and races Into The Fray the Berserker dog fires a cannon blast at the dark bird but to no avail out of options and overwhelmed by adversaries Flora emerges from shirka's hat incinerating all monsters in sight shirka and farnese reach the egg confronting the demon child and the Fateful eclipse from four years ago they find Costco's heart coded in an enanthema or a curse to protect her from the horrible Memories the gut's dog defends against the bird long enough for the two witches to place kaska's heart into the doll restoring kaska's psyche to what it once was it's good to meet you farnese shirka ivalera thank you for taking care of me as Elaine for so long Costco informs the two that she was dreaming through a lane vaguely watching from a distance all these years do you remember guts [Music]

instructs the band of the hawk to finish off the remaining monsters Griffith leads his forces through a corridor of stone pillars onto the branches of the world spiral tree which takes them back to falconia in a meeting with the falconia elite Locust lists the military victories of the band of the hawk however Owen and the others talk about a precipitating civil war stemming from poor pay and the intermixing of different cultures in one place Charlotte also proposes an initiative to found an orphanage but is shot down by the council due to the cost in order for us to survive life we must Prosper Griffith proposes that they should support the children of falconia to the age of 10. enlist disenfranchised immigrants in the Army as a pathway to citizenship and build a wall for security measures Griffith aims to expand his kingdom across the entire continent just like King geyserich from one thousand years ago Griffith exalts Charlotte's proposal much to the Chagrin of Sonia Griffith rewards Charlotte for her dedicated work as the hawk stares at black strands in his hairline of course then this night will be Griffith mysteriously vanishes from the bedroom under the full moon Donnan gives koska a haircut as the female swordsman looks like her old self again koska thanks for our niece and shirka for all their work then she practices her swordplay with some Viking golems and impresses everyone as Isidro and koska's Spar farni centrica visits the guts and asks if he wants to see his past lover guts declines yakaska walks over nevertheless kaska Compares isidro's fighting style to Judo which reminds her of the Dreadful Eclipse causing her to clutch her heart and collapse to the ground gut solemnly walks away as a skull Knight watches on koska can't see or hear guts without experiencing a traumatic shock she then proceeds to rest shirka and Francis attend a mage class held by gedfring the two display their skills to the surprise of the younger Mages get free inquires shirka if she would be interested in summoning Damon's which includes her pass master Flora by himself gut swings his sword on a cliff as he's approached by a familiar friend you bear witness to the end of your journey it is not always a happy thing oh it's you as dictated by causality getfriend greets skull Night by calling him your majesty he then suggests that they go to visit the dwarf Spirit named hanar a man who constructed guts's Berserker armor and skull night's battle suit morda assists shirken flying with a broom for the first time as they Glide around the island they see guts and skull nights heading into a ravine where the Island's Outcast reside as they enter the cave they meet granny vulvapa morda's master who specializes in manipulating departed Souls she directs the two to the stone 4 Forest to catch up to guts and skull night hanar is a grumpy blacksmith who warns guts that the Berserker armor is liable to possess its host if it is not mastered hanar swings a sledgehammer at guts's abdomen which elicits an immediate reaction in guts precipitating a blood memory from its previous owner which caused his life to be consumed by the armor God sees void along with four other unknown God Hand members gut's looks in his left arm to see a mysterious girl reach out for his face just after being branded by the invocation of Doom in desperation shurika pulls the mask from guts's exasperated face as he utters that right now was for sure the end what you born witness to was the end of a foolish king and the beginning of a dead man stalking the Endless Night skull night visits his beloved in her Eternal Slumber donnen refers to his beloved as the lady Priestess of cherry blossoms guts notices that Donnan and skull night's beloved looked remarkably similar to one another shirka asked GED Frank about his master and skull night's connection and he claims that Flora's feelings were too strong in the past causing her to violate a taboo and be exiled from the island meanwhile Isidro is clown in the young Mages via throwing elves at them and making all sorts of weird faces eventually isma's Kelpie swallows the rambunctious Hellstorm of a kid and puts an end to all his nonsense under the full moon gedring tells guts that skull Knights is motivated by one purpose rage he tells guts he'll need to reconcile his own Fury whether it keeps him alive or destroys him gut swings his sword in a frustrated man manner just then the wind blows flower petals descend from trees and a cryptic shadowy figure approaches guts and it is none other than the Moonlight boy and this officially concludes the berserk timeline video at the moment there is no information regarding the release of chapter 364. so the ongoing epic is on hold at the moment and if this is your first time hearing the berserk tale and you are wondering how quickly kintaro Mira puts out the chapters yeah it's painfully slow at least in recent years according to this graph we got three chapters last year but only two in 2019. now if you're wondering why there was a drop off one of the reasons is due to the fact that Mira has released a new manga called deranki which came out in 2019 which is a fun manga in and of itself but after releasing six chapters it is also on an extended break so as we wait for the next chapter and wonder when the end is coming for berserk we have only miro's interviews to reference to and in this regard Mira has contradicted himself numerous times but given the various clues in the manga and some recent interview remarks it would seem the final conclusion is imminent when and how that happens is anyone's guess but perhaps like guts we are all strugglers and waiting to see how this manga officially wraps up [Music]
