Berserker Synopsis: Ougon Jidai-hen

In the kingdom of Midland, a mercenary named Guts roams the land, preferring a life of conflict to a life of peace. Though the odds are never in his favor, he is an unstoppable force, capable of defeating any opponent and wielding a massive sword larger than himself. One day, Griffith, the mysterious leader of the Band of the Hawk mercenary group, witnesses the might of the battle of the warrior and invites the wandering swordsman to join his squad. Guts declines the offer and challenges Griffith to a duel. To the latter’s surprise, he is defeated and forced to join. Now Guts must fight alongside Griffith and his crew to help Midland defeat Chuder’s empire. However, Griffith seems to have ulterior motives and desires something far greater than solving the war…
