Story and art by Kentaro Miura.

The Band of the Hawks' rescue of their leader, Griffith, has brought them no ease.

But Griffith's dreams and ambitions, built on the bodies of his troops and the countless enemies they have slain, have not gone unnoticed in the spirit realm, and though Griffith has nowhere to go as a man, he may yet have a future...a future borne on jet-black wings in the company of the demon lords of the Godhand!
