On a battlefield where blood and mud become one, Guts first encounters the mercenary group that will change his life—The Band of the Hawk. Their charismatic leader, Griffith, casts a long shadow but shines with the radiance of purpose and ambition.

Guts’ entry into the Band of the Hawk is anything but smooth. He wrestles with his own isolation, trying to find his place among them. What begins as conflict slowly turns into respect, and eventually friendship. Among the group, a bond begins to form with Casca—a warrior who doesn’t trust easily, but sees something in Guts even he refuses to acknowledge.

Griffith seems Guts’ opposite—strategic, visionary, enigmatic. But it's this very contrast that draws them together. Their paths intertwine in a way that foreshadows inevitable tragedy.

Guts discovers a glimpse of belonging—but each step toward the light casts an ever-darker shadow.
