Berserk: The Golden Age Arc III - The Advent

A year after Guts departs to pursue his own path, the Band of the Hawk has been reduced to a hunted remnant. Drawn back by rumors, Guts finds his former comrades under Casca’s command, fighting to survive in Midland while preparing a desperate attempt to rescue their imprisoned leader, Griffith—condemned for treason. When they finally reach him, the man they recover is painfully unlike the figure they once followed.

After enduring relentless torture, Griffith returns broken in body and spirit, unable to walk, speak, or wield a sword. All that remains at his side is the Crimson Behelit, a strange trinket that refuses to leave him. As the Hawks cling to the hope of reclaiming what they lost, an encroaching darkness and a solar eclipse force a terrible decision—one that drags them toward a bloodstained destiny with consequences that will linger for the rest of their lives.
