Golden Age Memorial

The "Legend of Sword Wind. The Golden Age" trilogy finally came to an end in a gorgeous and dark manner. At the end of the third "Arrival", the black branded knight dragged his tired and heavy body, fixed his eyes on the front, and stepped forward to embark on a new destiny. After the journey, the final song "Breakthrough" sounded, and the scenes of the once eagle group flashed like memory. This is a commemorative song for each member and a symphony of destiny for the entire work.
The quality of the movie is well-made, impeccable, and almost perfect due to the powerful joining of studio 4℃. The characters, background, and costumes are more plump and delicate than in the comics. Although the plot has been cut from the comics, the discerning audience knows that this does not affect the coherence of the plot. These three theatrical works can be said to be the prelude to the entire grand epic, and the last one is nothing but the climax of this prelude. If Griffith got the egg of the Red Overlord, the cruel law of causality had already begun. After that, he founded the Eagle Group, met Gus, parted ways with Gus, was caught and destroyed by the nymphomaniac king, and then returned to Gus. After salvation, we became the new hand of God after the sacrifice. We saw the cruelty and helplessness of fate, the tenacity and resistance of life, the beautiful withering and helplessness, and the magnificence and moving of the new birth. We admire the gorgeous destruction and despair in the destiny, the bloody killing and ravages, the endless struggles and struggles, the horrible silence and loneliness. Is destiny or self-selection, the end of everything or a new beginning? Maybe Gus’s black sword and light eagle’s wings of freedom can finally give us a vicissitudes of life.
Regarding the sequel, there is no official news yet, and we are still very much looking forward to it. As the work is still being serialized, it is said that Mr. Miura has already figured out the ending. Based on the consistent story line and work style, I believe it will never be a bright and beautiful ending. The development of the plot will remain compact and full of tension, and the delicate and domineering pictures are full of the flesh and blood of the protesters. Whether Griffith’s white castle will get closer and closer, and whether Gus’s road of revenge will be more cruel, the dark world of black and white intertwined, evil and goodness have long blurred the boundaries, and the contest between light and dark has no end. The light and freedom in the heart are eternal worth pursuing.
The black knight still looks dignified, taking the hatred of the brave and striding forward with determination, the white eagle of light hovering in the endless black sky, looking for his own free sky...

PS Miura’s dedication is obvious to all, but it seems that speed and quality cannot be achieved at the same time. The legend is only half of the serialization speed, plus at the serialization speed of the January issue, I wonder if the rest of my life will be finished. On the day when the legend of Jianfeng ends, the family sacrifice never forgets to tell Naiweng."

  • Casca: It's all your fault! Griffith and the Band of the Hawk, it all went to hell because of you!

    Guts: Because of me? How so?

    Casca: How stupid are you? Damn you! You are the one Griffith wanted! It was always you! You were the only one!

  • Skull Knight: Heed my words, Struggler. Soon a rain of blood, the likes of which you cannot imagine, shall fall down upon you. It will be a storm of death. But take heed, Struggler. Struggle, endure, contend. For that alone is the sword of one who defies death. Do not forget these words.
