The Band of the Hawk's key players (minus Rickert) find Griffith in his sorriest state at the bottom of the pit under the Tower of Rebirth, and the escape plan is on! The king sends feared Kushan assassins - the Bakiraka - to take them down, as well as dozens of his own knights. The pain of seeing Griffith mangled beyond belief activates, for the first time, Guts' true rage, and we see Miura's first depiction of the vengeful rampages we will grow so used to in this series. Enjoy!
