Toma: If you get lost, I'm the one who'll get in trouble!
Toma: How many times have you been told not to wander in the forest?
Toma: If you're eaten by wolves, don't blame me!
Toma: Not to mention, the Kushans recently...
Nico: Fairy.
Nico: Toma, I saw a fairy.
Toma: What are you talking about?
Toma: This is why I didn't want to bring you along, shrimp!
Boy : Don't, Toma.
Boy : But I sort of understand why Nico might feel that way.
Boy : I can't really explain... But lately, haven't you felt a bit weird?
Boy : Huh? You, too?
Boy : Yeah, I've felt strange, too.
Toma: What are you talking about?
Boy : We've been coming to this forest forever.
Boy : But has it always been like this?
Toma: What do you mean?
Boy : It almost feels like we're in the forest,
Boy : but it's in our dreams...
Boy : Did you hear something?
Boy : Like someone laughing?
Boy : It stopped...
Toma: What now?!
Nico: Toma, look.
Toma: A forest demon!
Nico: Monster.

Title,Title: The Rent World
Erica: Good morning, Dad.
Guts: We're back.
Puck: Heya.
Erica: Guts... Casca...
Guts: I guess...
Guts: We were a little late.
Erica: It happened right after you left, Guts.
Guts: Sorry.
Erica: No, even Dad said
Erica: that simply being able to see you before he d*ed was enough.
Erica: And he didn't want you to see him after he'd d*ed.
Erica: But thank goodness! I'm so happy you found Casca!
Erica: If she hadn't been found, it would have been all my fault.
Erica: Hey, so what are you going to do now, Guts?
Erica: You aren't leaving Casca behind again, are you?
Erica: Let's all live here together.
Erica: I'm sure if you stay and are nice to her, Casca won't run off again!
Guts: Yeah.
Erica: Really? You really mean it?
Erica: It's a promise!
Guts: Yeah.
Erica: Yay!
Puck: Are you sure?
Erica: Yay! Yay! Yay, yay, yay!
Puck: That was a pretty empty promise.
: Yay!
Guts: It's a half-assed promise.
Erica: Yay! Yay!
Guts: As soon as we got Casca back...
Guts: No.
Guts: Even when I was swinging my sword to get her back,
Guts: I...
Guts: When he appeared before me,
Guts: he wasn't in demon form, but human.
Guts: As if he'd shown up just as he'd been back then.
Guts: The moment I saw him, I forgot all my malice.
Guts: And that is unforgivable!
Guts: It was an aimless journey.
Guts: All I had were strange rumors
Guts: and the faint presence I felt from the brand.
Guts: I had no idea where he was...
Guts: No... I searched for his shadow, not in this world,
Guts: pushing through souls of the dead.
Guts: But now, he's in the same world as I am.
Guts: Treading the same ground I do.
Guts: Within the reach of my sword!
Erica: I just remembered we have a guest right now.
Guts: A guest?
Erica: Yeah, he's apparently an old acquaintance of Rickert's.
Erica: He said he was a friend from when Rickert was a soldier,
Erica: so maybe you know him, too.
Erica: He has long, silver hair.
Erica: And he's so pretty, I could hardly believe he's a man!
Erica: He looks like he stepped out of a fairy tale.
Rickert: I still can't believe it.
Rickert: That day, no one other than Guts and Casca came back.
Rickert: Judeau, Corkus, Pippin...
Rickert: No one...
Rickert: I don't know what happened that day.
Rickert: Guts won't tell me.
Rickert: I thought everything had ended...
Rickert: But to think we'd meet again!
Rickert: Guts!
Rickert: Guts?
Rickert: Wait a minute!
Guts: Out of the way, Rickert!
Rickert: No! How could you suddenly att*ck him like that?
Rickert: He's Griffith... He's our Griffith!
Rickert: How could you?
Guts: He's not the Griffith you knew anymore!
Rickert: What are you talking about?
Guts: Just get out of the way!
Rickert: No! What's going on?!
Griffith: I see you haven't changed.
Griffith: Your sword still moves before your mouth.
Griffith: No, actually...
Guts: Don't talk about me...
Griffith: It is exactly as it was when we met.
Guts: With the same face, the same laugh, the same voice!
Guts: You bastard... Why the hell did you come here?
Griffith: To see you.
Griffith: Back at that tower, it was rather chaotic.
Griffith: So I had no chance to speak to you alone.
Griffith: I thought this place more fitting,
Griffith: since we Band of the Hawk have reunited.
Guts: Don't you dare say that name!
Griffith: I came to learn...
Griffith: If I stood before you, in my new body,
Griffith: whether my heart would be moved.
Griffith: It appears that I... am free.
Guts: Nothing...
Guts: For what you did...
Guts: For all those you betrayed...
Guts: You're saying you feel nothing at all?!
Griffith: I shan't betray my dream.
Griffith: That is all.
Zodd: It's been a while, Black Swordsman.
Guts: Zodd!
Erica: What's the matter, Casca?
Puck: This presence!
Rickert: He managed to stop a swing from that giant blade Guts has?
Rickert: Who is that man?
Zodd: Well done in surviving, despite my prediction.
Zodd: This makes me happy, boy!
Zodd: Very good.
Zodd: As a human, you've done well to gain such a form.
Zodd: I wanted to face you again like this,
Zodd: once you'd lived through that carnage.
Guts: What's going on?
Guts: Why are you with Griffith?
Guts: Get out of my way!
Guts: I have business with Griffith.
Zodd: Words are meaningless. Force your way through.
Guts: Such strength with his sword.
Guts: If I stay on defense, he'll crush me.
Guts: If I blink, my head will be split open.
Guts: Matching his blows is rattling my bones.
Guts: I can't just absorb this force!
Guts: But I can fight.
Guts: The countless nights trying to reach him have built me up to this point!
Guts: You're just in the way!
Rickert: It's so intense...
Rickert: I've never seen a fight like this, not even on the b*ttlefield.
Rickert: Guts has grown stronger. So much that I can't even imagine.
Rickert: He's handling that giant blade like it's nothing.
Rickert: But that rage... That fury is directed toward Griffith?
Rickert: But why?
Rickert: My...
Rickert: Not good!
Rickert: This battle is unbelievable.
Rickert: That man is amazing, too.
Rickert: But Guts makes decisions in a second.
Rickert: Life or death battles... Guts has survived them countless times.
Griffith: My blood should have frozen over.
Griffith: Are these feelings from the infant
Griffith: that fused into my vessel?
Zodd: Well done.
Zodd: Even as a human, you survived the eclipse.
Zodd: That strength saw you through fights with apostles.
Zodd: It seems this horse-slaying sword I stole from the Kushans
Zodd: really is no match for your demon-slaying sword.
Zodd: A splendid blade and splendid technique.
Guts: I'm just getting started!
Apostle,Zodd: I haven't had enough yet.
Apostle,Zodd: I haven't devoured enough!
Rickert: Zodd?
Rickert: There's no doubt about it.
Rickert: That... That man...
Rickert: He's Nosferatu Zodd.
Rickert: What's going on?
Rickert: Guts!
Rickert: That's...
Rickert: Master Godo's mine!
Erica: Hey, Casca...
Erica: Jeez, walking off on your own again!
Guts: You idiot! Stay away!
Erica: Guts? There was a really loud noise.
Erica: A monster!
Guts: Casca!
Guts: Cas—
Erica: Casca!
Guts: Stop...
Griffith: Enough.
Griffith: Let's go.
Guts: Wait! Where are you—
Griffith: I told you. I shall claim my kingdom.
Griffith: Nothing has changed.
Griffith: Rickert...
Griffith: Nothing has ended.
Griffith: After learning the truth, if you loathe me, so be it.
Griffith: But even still,
Griffith: if you wish to pursue our dream, I have no reason to refuse.
Rickert: Wait... I don't understand!
Rickert: What's the truth?!
Rickert: Guts, no!
Guts: Move, Rickert!
Guts: Nothing has changed?
Guts: You did all that...
Guts: And nothing has changed?!
Griffith: You should have known
Griffith: that I was this kind of man.
Griffith: You of all people.
Rickert: Guts... Tell me.
Rickert: On that day, what happened to Griffith and the others?
Rickert: I have a right to know, don't I?!
Rickert: No, I need to know...
Rickert: Guts!
Rickert: Is that true?
Rickert: How is... How is something like that...
Puck: I had an idea, but...
Puck: I see. That image was from that time.
Erica: Aw, it all caved in.
Erica: What now?
Erica: Just when we were together, Guts and Casca's home...
Rickert: I'll go with you.
Rickert: You've been carrying all that weight alone.
Rickert: While I just stayed here, clueless...
Rickert: Take me with you!
Rickert: I'm a part of the Band of the—
Guts: No.
Rickert: Why not?!
Guts: You don't loathe Griffith.
Erica: You're leaving?!
Erica: Everyone...
Erica: Everyone's leaving?
Rickert: Erica!
Puck: Hurry and go after her.
Puck: So, what are we going to do?
Puck: Continue on
Puck: this journey of revenge?
Guts: I won't leave Casca behind again.
Puck: You're taking Casca with you?
Guts: I know.
Guts: I know that it's impossible...
Puck: But the elven mine is destroyed.
Puck: So isn't staying here more impossible?
Puck: If two branded people stay in one place for too long,
Puck: we know bad things will happen, given the Tower of Conviction.
Guts: Aren't there other nearby places where elves live?
Puck: Maybe so, but will you keep Casca locked up until then?
Puck: That isn't very nice.
Puck: She ran away because she didn't want that, didn't she?
Puck: I'll just have to search my elven pearls of wisdom.
Puck: Oh, I know!
Puck: It's a bit far, but it's a beautiful paradise.
Puck: Probably the safest place in the world!
Guts: Where's that?
Puck: My home.
Soldier : Stop...
Soldier : Help!
Woman : What's going to happen to us?
Woman : I heard a rumor that
Woman : Kushans offer women as sacrifices to their god.
Woman : No, that's...
Woman : No matter how you see it, the kingdom is finished.
Woman : The Band of the Hawk... If only that man were here...
Woman : It's a bit late for that now.
Sonja: He's coming.
Woman : Huh?
Sonia: Someone will save us soon.
Woman : What are you talking about?
Woman : After seeing her parents b*rned alive, I wonder if she's lost her mind.
Sonia: He's coming.
Sonia: The Hawk of Light is coming.
Sonia: That's what the wind is whispering.
Kushan General: To think your clan was unable to capture a single man.
Kushan General: How pathetic the Bakiraka are.
Kushan General: And you have the nerve to say he got on a demon and disappeared.
Silat: If I may have a word.
Silat: I heard that this invasion began because the oracle received a prophecy.
Silat: So this paranormal phenomenon shouldn't be strange—
Kushan General: You are as slaves, from traitorous groups,
Kushan General: that think yourselves soldiers!
Kushan General: I'm sure the Emperor promoted such as you to soldiers in jest.
Kushan General: To think he'd give you a mission on a whim, as well...
Kushan General: Wh-Wh-What are you doing—
Silat: I have a more pressing matter, so if you'll excuse me.
Remnant Soldier : We failed.
Remnant Soldier : Run—
Remnant Soldier : Damn it!
Silat: Please pardon me.
Kusahn General: Such skill... Are they monsters?
Silat: We will now continue our search for the hawk.
Sonia: That's...
Erica: Take care!
Erica: Make sure you protect her, Guts!
Guts: When I fled the Band of the Hawk, it was also in snow like this.
Guts: This time, I guess I was the one left behind.
Guts: I won't leave you again...
Guts: I won't lose you this time.
