Guts is a loner who fights for money and carries an overly heavy sword. He doesn’t settle down until he meets the “Band of the Falcon” gang. Guts defeats their men, but their boss, Griffith, defeats him in one blow. Griffith then stipulates that if Guts loses again, he must join the gang. Guts loses and becomes a part of them.
In three years, Guts becomes their top commander and single-handedly destroys an entire army on the battlefield. Griffith’s brain and Guts’ strength combine to wreak havoc everywhere. But the problem is that something dangerous is brewing in the dark that will change Guts’ life forever.
