Despite his strength, Guts gets defeated by Griffith and as a result of this lost duel, he is compelled to join Griffith’s army.

However, lurking behind Griffith’s angelic appearance are dangers that Guts could have never imagined. From witnessing the brutal assault/r*p* of his love interest Casca to losing an arm and an eye.
