Zackarotto posted:Interesting chapter. I can see those Kushan assassins joining up with Griffith in time, like everybody else does. I gotta say, considering how rarely Berserk is released, that if you really don't like the political Griffith stuff, you might as well find another manga to satiate your bloodlust. Maybe something like Gantz. I think these chapters are just the calm before the storm, Miura has never failed to be awesome when he decides that the action begins.

Zorak posted:Maybe Guts is going to get a new party member someday I agree with this post. This is exactly what I was thinking. Also, thanks Miura for another 2-page spread of Griffith! Now can we see Guts in the same limelight, he's the cooler character anyways.

I suspect that when the story finally draws to an end, there will be a whole issue just devoted to the sword blow that cuts Griffith in half, millisecond by millisecond, from every angle.

You know, since Griffith is supposed to be the villain and everything, when's the last time we saw him do anything remotely evil? I know he's manipulating everything behind the scenes, but still, a little Femto action wouldn't hurt. Or at least a sinister grin. Something.

Isn't the entire main plot based just on how Gatts/Guts seems like the evil one and Griffith seems like the good one?

If you don't want to punch Griffith in the face at every waking moment, you're doing something wrong. That's what the spreads are for - you tear it out, stick it on a wall, and tack another on top when the blood gets too thick.

I'm hoping that this'll make that moment seem even more terrible when it comes. I'm waiting for Gut's party to find out the whole situation, to learn that despite what Griffith is doing that seems good it's all a softball setup so he can live out his twisted petty desires, and the terrible things he dead to gain the power he has now. Then we get to see how those people react, once they find out Guts is essentially aiming to take down the savior of their kingdom/religion.

Zorak posted:I disagree. The difference is, he is still "waiting and seeing", still following the Demon Emperor despite knowing what it is. Guts would have given it the finger right away (and quite possibly died by doing so), so the difference of course is how much they're willing to take. The Assassins disagree with the horrors the Emperor is doing, but they seem to be too afraid, even if they don't act that way, to act against them. Guts pretty much already did do that. Back in chapter 275. It was pretty badass too!

Jimmybob posted:Guts pretty much already did do that. Back in chapter 275. It was pretty badass too! Yes, but Guts has became a lot more durable since he got the brand/ Berserker Armor, compared to how those assassin guys, which while strong, probably couldn't stand a chance I think against an Apostle, other then maybe a weaker level one.

OG17 posted:I'd rather see how Guts's party reacts once Griffith's in sight and he's ready to tear through everything that gets in the way. I'm really thinking things'll finally end with him having a chance to sacrifice them all for a fair shot, sort of mirroring the Hawks, and I won't be surprised if he takes it. I would be very surprised. What makes Guts righteous is his humanity. He wouldn't trade it for cheap demonic power. He will earn power on his own.

I think Guts letting them die is precisely the type of thing which won't happen. Guts defending his new comrades and not sacrificing them for his own desires would prove the proper counter to the horrible slaughter of the Hawks earlier.

If you put Griffith in one hand and basically anything else in the other, I think it's a safe bet which one Guts would go for. Not that I meant he'd actually become some sort of apostle thing, as that'd be the fastest way to invalidate the rest of the book, but I don't think it's out of the question that he'd be given a choice between his companions and Griffith (with whatever details) at the wire, and if that comes up, it's hard to see him turning away. I was even going to add an exception for Caska before, but decided it wasn't necessary. No matter how mellowed he gets, I'm pretty sure Griffith's still first in his heart with a hopelessly massive lead. I've been thinking this since the party first solidified, and I certainly can't see them fighting Griffith alongside Guts in some final battle. Then again, I'm not convinced that there'll even be a conclusive ultimate Guts/Griffith throwdown, so maybe you shouldn't listen to any of this.

^yeah uh I certainly don't recall that.

He was refering to the last one. You know, where Guts goes all loving out and tries to murder-destroy Griffith, even though he looks just like he used to, and is only stopped by Zodd interfering, and then Caska getting in the middle of it. In other words, Guts already has established that he by no means has he forgotten or forgiven Griffith, no matter what the gently caress he looks like.

I'm not sure Gatsu can murder Griffith, or if he does, it's going to have to be the very last manga ever in the Berserk storyline, because then it will be pretty boring afterward. Honestly, this used to be my favorite manga (or just overall illustrated series, for that matter). I've been reading it since 2002, and it's totally gone down hill lately with all this pussyfooting around and the incredible delays. One way to really revitalize things would be to make an animated series again. All the events up until now, with the same team that did the last series. That might be difficult since they drat near decided to omit half of the vital details from the events up to the birth of Femto, even going so far as to change important plot lines for no real reason.

I think it ended up being a matter of time constraints really, because Miura was pretty actively involved in the first season. I believe they sent him the script and stuff, and he OK'd it.

Actually, I was thinking of right when the tower fell, when he has a shot to run out and attack Griffith, who is standing there naked and weaponless, and before he can really lose his poo poo it all drains away when he realizes Caska is standing behind him. So yeah, if he has a shot without any of his comrades, he'll take it as he is right now. If he has to protect someone though...

It's hard to believe that this series has been going on for about 18 (!) years and I read all of it within a week and a half... I hope they hurry up with all the traveling and focus more on Guts' group of friends.

I'm so glad I gave Berserk a try, as it is quite simply the greatest manga in the world. One of my life goals now is to make it to the end of Berserk. Which Miura is going to finish in his lifetime, hopefully...
