Talon184 said: And what the hell were the creature thingees attacking Rickert's group? And were they away from the the main camp or something? I thought the entire band of the hawk was wiped out but there were still soldiers waiting for the Griffith rescuers to return. Who got killed exactly? I think they had split the army into two. One was the wounded camp, essentially those that weren't capable of fighting. That was the group Rickert is in and the one that got attacked. The remainder of the army is waiting for Casca, Guts, Griffith... etc to return as part of the recovery squad. Or at least as I understood it |

Or at least as I understood it the creatures that attacked rickerts team are all Apostles on their way to the eclipse ceromony. the one important thing missing in this anime was the appearance of the skull knight |
| GODAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Easily the best fuckin episode in the show. Guts went BERSERK and poor Griffith he got the REEK treatment. tho i hope he still has his penis lmao I can't deal with another Theon. |

| BOY how much did I want Guts to kill them all! Hope he takes Griffith back safely then goes back to kill everyone! Fuck the king, this is why you can never go save a king without letting him lose a ear first. |

| Guts emotions felt really true. Griffith is for sure dead and a new Griffith is born. |
| Wow that was so sad I almost cried. |

| Yep after one year of torture he would pretty much be unrecognizable. But Griffith is looking pissed or he doesn't know what to feel like? Guts went FULL BERSERK! |
| Funny evolution for Griffith. He really came to dislike the importance he gave to Guts in his life to the point of blaming his "friend" for things he actually did to him himself. So, spirits, demons & co. are out tonight? Is there a ballet? At least, the Count had a " buffet" before the meeting. 5/5 |

| This is miserable. Griffith is clearly confused but very happy to see Guts. He is unsure about being sane himself. I think he could still be right now because of the idea of Guts.. However have Guts make one wrong move and Griffith is going to become very vengeful. Im sure he isnt happy with Guts and Casca's relationship. Perhaps thats already too much? If Guts is still planning to leave Griffith this will be very, very bad.. It will be difficult for Griffith to communicate anything without his tongue.. Wonder if there will be anything left of the band of the Hawk as well. |
 |
| This episode is pure madness!! Hope Rickert is still alive. :( |
 |
| It was OK, not that good tbh, a bit boring again Once again, Guts bores me to death, while Griffith is the star of the show Griffith is the most interesting character. I wish this series was never spoiled for me :'( Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Guts didn't even had a serious challenge here, looked like a regular warmup. Seeing Griffith like that is just painful but seering Guts cry was even more painful than that. Great and deep episode overall |
| Looks like that egg hatched into that fairy woman somehow? Looks like this si the end of the band of the hawk. |
| Holy shit Guts fucking cried for Griffith. But the look in Griffith's eyes is bad news. I almost forgot about Rickert, what in the fuck happened there! This episode was crazy af! |

| Woooooh! Man, this anime is really building up towards the end. I hope the ending won't disappoint. There's still so many unanswered questions and only 3 more episodes to answer (at least some of) them. What was the demon thing that crawled towards Griffith in the beginning of the episode? What happened to Rickert? I assume he's dead? What does that freakin' Behelit do? What's Griffith going to do, once he regains strength? No more tendons and no tongue. I assume that means he can never walk or speak again? Guts just went Berserk! Awesome. The look Griffith gave when Casca was cleaning up Guts... I'm on the edge of my seat, onto the next one. |
 |
| This is where the pain train begins huh :( It was a depressing episode but it's crazy seeing what griffith has become but at the same time, guts's rage was interesting to watch. I found it cool how the 1997 anime made it pretty clear that griffith was trying to choke guts at the reunion there compared to how the manga depicted the panel (in my opinion.) Super good episode once again |

| ok now judeau x pippin wen doe?? |
 |
| I guess Griffith see's Guts as a weakness to him I wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to kill Guts |
 |
| Griffith finally realized he needs Guts more than Guts needs him. So glad to see the horror come back for this episode. I've been missing that since Zodd. |
 |
| Finally somethin mad is happening. The best episode so far |
| Griffith is miserable, his body is only a shelter. First thing he does, he tries to strangle Guts. He believes him responsible for his downfall. But Guts only wants to help him, he does everything for revenge. Casca is in shock, she knows that Griffith can't ever return to his old being. After that torture, the body can't possibly heal, not even with fairy medicine. I loved Rickert vivid dream, it was so disturbing and beauty at the same time. A masterpiece of an episode! |
 |
| "O prince of the unforgiven" ? Griffith's monologue is... so profound and I have many questions, he feels so many conflicting emotions towards Guts.. it seems he clearly holds him responsible for his downfall and suffering :( Griffith reaches to Gut's neck to strangle him, and Guts cries.. probably for the first time in his life holding Griffith in his arms........... and goes berserk. I now understand the look in Griffith's eyes as Casca wipes blood off of Guts' face... O_O Giriffisuuuuuuuuuuuu :'( |
| Guts has always been incredibly powerful, but now he is WAY beyond what I thought he could be. Literally smashing through waves of armored soldiers like they are nothing. Also, WTF was going on at the beginning with those demons/monsters. |
