Synopsis

Spurred by the flame raging in his heart, the Black Swordsman Guts continues his seemingly endless quest for revenge. Standing in his path are heinous outlaws, delusional evil spirits, and a devout child of god.Even as it chips away at his life, Guts continues to fight his enemies, who wield repulsive and inhumane power, with nary but his body and sword—his strength as a human. What lies at the end of his travels? The answer is shrouded in the "night." Strain your eyes and stare into the dark!

Trivia[]

In contrast to the 1997 anime series and the Golden Age movies, the series was recorded at Bang Zoom! Entertainment instead of NYAV Post. Despite many of the voice actors from the series and movies living in Los Angeles like Marc Diraison, Carrie Keranen, Doug Erholtz, and J.B. Blanc, only Jamieson Price, G.K. Bowes, and Christopher Corey Smith reprised their roles. The new voice cast caused a massive outcry among the fans.
Kevin T. Collins, the original voice for Griffith, expressed interest in reprising his role.
