Guts, a scarred lone mercenary wielding a sword nearly as large as himself, is defeated in single combat by the magnetic Griffith and swept into the Band of the Hawk, a mercenary company Griffith is steering toward nobility and conquest through sheer force of ambition. Their partnership, part rivalry and part devotion, carries the company through years of brutal, unglamorous warfare rendered with unusual visual ferocity for its era. Beneath the battlefield triumphs lurks a creeping supernatural dread tied to Griffith's hidden ambitions, foreshadowed in ways that reframe everything that came before. Adapted from Kentaro Miura's manga, this is dark fantasy at its most merciless, prizing atmosphere and consequence over easy heroism.
