Giant Beasts of Ars Episode 1: Recap

The first episode of the anime series is called “The Promise That Started It All.” The series started with a scene where we can see two humans, a man and a woman, standing and watching a giant beast approach them. An army of soldiers tried to block the beast by putting up a barricade and was ready to fire arrows, but the beast overpowered them.

The man begins to tell the story of the “legend of the arc,” in which Gods created beasts to exterminate humans, but he abruptly stops after saying that she would be unable to digest the truth. He then went ahead to help the humans and can be seen tapping into the powers of his sword and transforming into a different person. The woman disappeared as if she were the sword herself.

He then went ahead, and with a slash of his sword, he defeated the beast. The people were seen cheering and calling him a Paladin. The scene shifted to the next one, and we see a castle where a young girl broke out of her cell and is seen escaping.

All hell breaks loose, and the girl steals food from the kitchen and runs for her life. She seems normal but has some extraordinary capabilities that separate her from the rest; she can be seen climbing walls and breaking doors easily. The guards called her a “prototype,” which makes us wonder if there is some type of experiment going on in this world.

Upon being confronted, the girl jumps into the ocean to escape. She lands on an unknown ship and meets a drunk man. She greets him and runs towards the town. A group of soldiers came to him, asking about her, and he gave them her details.

While running, she bumps into a fat lady called Kumi, who, on seeing her condition, takes the girl with her, feeds her, and gives her new clothes to wear.

In the next scene, we see a mad-looking Lord Mezami, who seems to be the main man behind the operation. The next day, the drunk man meets a young child in the market, who asks him if he is the famous beast hunter.

The child then goes on to give him the location where he can find his next big hunt, and he goes off. Meanwhile, the child set up a shop of gems, and the little girl came to his shop. We then find out that these gems and the different products in the market are made from the bodies of dead beasts. The girl has her eye on a certain ring, which turns out to be the “ring of power.”

Whoever wears that ring must save humans from certain doom and become a saviour, but there is a catch: whoever wears that ring will wither away from its power, and only one person can wear it.

As the child was telling the girl this story, she put the ring around her finger, and it immediately fit her finger. Later, we learn that the name of the drunk man is Jiro, and as they lure a giant beast. Not obeying the usual orders, he jumps in to save a casualty. Then, with a combined effort, they manage to capture the beast. Later that night, the captain comes to take Jiro into his team, but he refuses.

At the same time, we see the girl being pursued by the soldiers, but as soon as she is hit by the arrows, she bursts into a bright light. Jiro saw this, realised that it was the curse of the ring, and had a flashback. A giant beast attacks the town, but the attention of soldiers is elsewhere. They fire arrows at the girl, but Jiro saves her and jumps into the ocean.

Jiro summons his sword and kisses the girl on the forehead, when they have a discussion and she tells him that he can call her Kumi. In the final scene, after their reunion, we see the child observing everything from a distance and saying, “The promise will be fulfilled.”
