First Battle
Guts and Griffith begin their sword fight. After Guts gets knocked down, he says how good Griffith is with a sword; using only one hand (Guts likes the challenge). Griffith tells Guts they can carry on the fight after he has fully recovered, but Guts tells him to shut up and they carry on. Meanwhile Corcas and a few other members of the Hawk run up the hill to see what is happening. They want to help Griffith, but Casca orders them to stay back as this is what Griffith commanded. Griffith finds the sword fight fairly easy with Guts and soon enough he starts to swing at Guts' sides causing him injury. In desperation Guts pick soil up with the end of his sword and throws it into Griffith's face. While Griffith is temporarily blinded, Guts lifts up his sword to make the finishing blow, but as his sword lands, he finds Griffith balanced on top of the blade. Griffith informs Guts that he can't use his sword, but Guts laughs and says 'in battle, there is only one way you should be using your
The Black Swordsman
A blacksmith is forging an enormous sword while a dark man with only one eye and one arm stands back and watches. The dark man approaches a castle by a large town. There is an Inn there where some castle guards burst in with a girl demanding a fight, but instead just have some drinks. The grandfather of the girl attempts to rescue her, but is badly beaten in the attempt. Suddenly one of the castle guards is shot in the head by a crossbow bolt and others soon follow. The dark man walks into the inn and shoots another castle guard in the shoulder. He walks up to the injured castle guard and orders him to tell his master the Black Swordsman has come. He slays another soldier with his enormous sword and leaves the inn. The injured castle guard goes to his Master's Minister and explains about the Black Swordsman. The minister orders that this criminal must be found. He is afraid of bringing the news to his master. While a search begins, the injured castle guard tells his master wha
