Episode 266: Berserk III (1997)

Bonds are tested and blades are broken as the Golden Age arc continues in Berserk (1997). An assassination attempt gives Griffith his first taste of courtly intrigue, and he responds to his would-be killers in-kind. Then, Guts and Casca are separated from the rest of the Band of the Hawk during a battle. While recovering, Casca explains her past to Guts and reveals the source of her anger against him. Finally, Griffith volunteers the Band of the Hawk to take the impenetrable Castle Doldrey from General Boscogn and his Purple Rhino Knights. Lord Gennon, the supreme commander of Tudor's northern battle forces, currently governs Doldrey and is obsessed with capturing Griffith alive. Guts intends to give this battle his all in order to walk away from Griffith without leaving any loose ends. But should the events at Castle Doldrey propel the White Hawk further into fame and fortune, will Guts even get to decide his own destiny? Remember to pick your (most expensive) poison and hold onto a few stone trinkets for today's exciting episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!
