"In this world is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law?" " Is it like the hand of God hovering above?" " At least it is true that man has no control even over his own will." " Feel no shame about shape." " Weather changes their phrase." " Even mother will show you another way." " So put your glasses on." " Nothing will be wrong." " There's no blame." " There's no fame." " It's up to you." " The first words should be found." " Whatever holds you back." " I can..." "I can get it off." " Tell me what..." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what you want." " I don't know why..." "Don't know why..." "Don't know why you're afraid." " Tell me what..." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what you'd say." " I don't know why..." "Don't know why..." "Too late..." "It's too late." " The Black Swordsman" "Bartender, do you have any good news?" " No good news at all." " Still nothing?" " Things aren't looking well, even in Midland's castle town." " The times have been dark ever since Griffith became king." " B-Be careful what you say!" " Someone might be listening." " Hey, hey!" " They're back again." " Poor girl, but don't get involved." " They'll kill you." " S-Somebody..." "How can this be?" " No one's willing to rescue this pretty girl?" " What a shame!" " Isn't it?" " Don't you think it's pathetic?" " Bartender here's your money." " Hey..." "Some nice people left a table for us." " Bartender, bring the drinks!" " Yes, sir." " Hurry up now!" " All right!" " Hey, hey, baby you better not spill it!" " Hey girl, if you spill it, I'll make you lick it off the table." " C-Colette..." "P-Please let Colette go." " I'm begging you..." "Don't be funny, old man!" " Grandpa!" " Don't forget." " You bumped into us first." " Don't think you can get away with just an apology!" " We'll discipline this girl for you!" " Right?" " Come on, baby, why don't you pour me a little now?" " Yes..." "Oops!" " You finally spilled it!" " Don't you have any manners?" " Okay, you have to lick it all up now." " Do it!" " It'll seep into the table if you don't hurry!" " Don't waste it!" " Come on!" " Don't be so lazy!" " Hey, girl, it tastes good, huh?" " Good, don't leave a drop on the table, baby!" " Clean the table until you can see your face in it." " Great idea!" " Gamaru!" " Who is it?" " Who the hell are you?" " Do you know who we are?" " Y-You..." "We'll make you pay for that!" " I want to see your master." " What?" " Take this message to your master for me..." "The Black Swordsman is here." " That's it." " T-The Black Swordsman?" " That's right." " You better tell him." " T-That guy made a terrible mess!" " The Black Swordsman?" " Yes." " He's dressed in all black." " He carries an enormous sword, larger than he is and fights with a repeating crossbow!" " He slaughtered the castle guards in a few seconds!" " What would you like to do, Minister?" " Search for him everywhere." " Leave no stone unturned!" " You must find him!" " Yes, sir." " How am I going to explain this to the master?" " A man dressed in black!" " Capture him!" " I see, so that is what's going on in the town." " Yes." " Bring the minister to me!" " Right away." " He is finally here." " The Black Swordsman..." "Damn!" " Them again!" " We are always watching you." " Your body belongs to us." " You cannot escape us." " Your blood..." "Flesh and bones..." "It is all ours!" " That's right!" " Everything is ours." " Shut up!" " It's ours." " You..." "The brand..." "The brand..." "The brand..." "As long as you have this brand, your agony..." "Pain..." "Sadness..." "And even your fear..." "Everything is ours." " Enough!" " G-Griffith..." "I am pleased to have you here." " It's been a while, Fief Lord." " Oh, excuse me." " You are a minister now." " I am terribly sorry, my lord." " Minister, I feel like you don't trust me since you don't tell me these things." " Please forgive me!" " The one who killed those men was just a wanderer." " He said he was the Black Swordsman, did he not?" " W-We will pay for this by bringing more food and money for you." " Of course, we'll get that man too so please..." "You look all worn out." " Right now, you should be worried about your own life, right?" " Human food..." "Money..." "I care not for these things." " However..." "I do want to give this man a warm welcome." " I love to hear humans scream as they burn and the sound of cracking bones." " I'd love to prepare such festivities for him!" " Please wait!" " You promised that you wouldn't do anything to my people!" " Did I?" " But..." "I don't care about your people..." "I don't care at all." " Kill every last one of them!" " Burn everything!" " W-What is going on here?" " Minister!" " He's here." " Kill him!" " You've gone far enough!" " Prepare yourself!" " Even the horses are sliced in half!" " How can a human use such a sword?" " I see..." "I've heard rumors about you." " You are the one the Black Swordsman who makes trouble for us Apostles." " You, a mere human, think you can defy us?" " A behelit!" " Don't make me laugh!" " Die!" " My lord!" " You are a fool!" " Shoot all you like." " A mortal like you cannot kill me." " No human can kill me." " M-Monster!" " You can still move?" " If you were an average man, that would have killed you." " Damn..." "Now you understand..." "That's how fragile you humans are!" " This is the end!" " Fragile..." "Humans are so fragile." " I will enjoy eating you up and filling my hungry stomach." " You're going to feed me..." "You said a human couldn't kill you, right?" " You..." "T-That brand!" " You're right." " We humans are fragile and mortal." " But even if we are wounded or tortured we must continue to live." " You should feel the same pain we feel and see what I mean." " No, stop it!" " Help me!" " What did you do when people said those words to you?" " Stop it!" " Help me!" " Hey, kid, do you really want to fight with me?" " You've got some balls, kid." " But you're going to regret it when I chop your head off with my axe!" " Looking back, the morning comes." " Don't find your face in your glass." " Take the moonlight by the tail." " It's a rainy sight." " You're shading." " What is that?" " It's just the same." " What is trying your crown?" " I'm spending my glass, walking back." " So wear my glass." " You're fading." " I'm waiting so long." " I'm waiting so long." " I'm waiting so long." " I'm waiting so long." " I'm waiting so long." " I'm waiting..." "Next Episode" "For what do humans come into being?" " What goals do they set for themselves in life?" " And why do they meet those destined to become important to them?" " Everything may rely solely upon fate." " The Band of the Hawk"
