Gonna come back with a chapter focusing on Griffith again. Or the boat making it a few feet further :smith: Fast-forward to Elfheim or whatever it's called and get Caska un-broken. I wonder if she'll be of much use in combat at all should she get free =x

You can recover from it with proper treatment actually.

Not to mention that in her case, the treatment will be magical so pretty much anything is possible.

EDIT: The people over at Skullknight.net are confirming that the Oct. 24 release date was announced in Young Animal. There's no preview yet, but I've never known them to get this sort of thing wrong before. Apparently it's coming out with a color page and a reprint of the previous episode to remind everyone what the hell happened.

It's going to happen. They foreshadowed it pretty heavy with ol' Skull Knight going "WHAT YOU WANT MIGHT NOT BE WHAT SHE WANTS :O" which basically goes to "Hey, she's going to go back to Griffith since she still feels connected to him/ like she needs him and crap (probably coupled with her unconscious reaction to him posessing her dead baby or something)", she'll go back to him, Guts won't know what the hell to do anymore, then the "Dark Age" is going to begin which will give Guts reason to leave "paradise" (the land of Elves) to embrace the violence once again.

I always thought that he meant "Life is a bitch and the world is cruel, she is probably happier the way she is right now and don't want to be normal again."

But yea since Berserk is SO depressive she's probably gonna join Griffith and leave Gutts behind. Gutts clearly hasn't suffered enough.

At least this leaves it wide open for some extremely badass Guts action which we have been missing for quite a while now.

Something like this would add even more to Guts' thirst for revenge, so in a way it will make the manga even more awesome-er

I seriously doubt she'd go to Griffith's side. He killed EVERYONE they knew in the Band of the Hawk; that'd stick, I'm sure. Plus, I'm sure Griffith will make a grab at or strike the Elf home.

Something I'd like to see later is maybe an apostle/demonic manifestation of the members that were sacrificed. Won't happen, I'm sure, but it's something that crossed my mind :v:

Come again? :psyduck: I haven't re-read Berserk in years. The only Griffith-Caska raep thing I remember is when he gave her a demon-baby post-sacrifice.

Before the Eclipse, when Griffith was lying in that covered wagon thing, Caska came in to change his bandages or something and he threw himself on top of her, pinning her to the ground (well as much as he could pin her considering he was a human skeleton). Nothing came of it since he was too weak to overpower her, but it was pretty obvious what he was trying to do.

I think it's quite possible that even if her sanity returns, Caska might not remember what Griffith did to the old Band of the Hawk. I hope she doesn't, but I do think there is at least a slight possibility she would go back to him.

This is also assuming the king let him keep the physical parts required for said rape. Seeing as the guy was super-jealous over what happened, I could see him putting in the request for their removal.

If it's shown that he's still true-blue, then I blame fact that I read all that material several years ago.

I'm pretty sure when the egg-dude granted him a new body that he got his penis back. That is, if it was cut off, although with the torturer thing going on I'm pretty sure it was the first thing to get cut off.

What I'm saying is that the penis was very probably removed pre-rebirth. And he'd have a hard time getting his rape w/insemination on without a penis and testicles to rape with.

Actually, I dunno if that's true, because the "other reality" Griffith witnessed before the Eclipse, the alternative to his dream of conquest, was him living with Casca, still crippled, but with kids, just a peaceful life in a town with Caska. Soooo that'd imply otherwise.

That has been attempted and the God Hand turned him down because he had already been sacrificed by Griffith (and because he had no real connection to the person trying to sacrifice him).

24 Hour Comic Day is one week from now, so if you want to do this as radically different from Miura as possible, and draw 24 pages of "Berserk" within a single day, you could.

Or collect like 20 goons and do 480 pages of Berserk in a day. I can't promise that it would read as well as Miura's version, though.

Watching you guys discuss the possible future of Berserk makes me realize how no matter what happens, Guts will suffer, the whole series will still be depressive and there won't be a happy ending. Although I'm sure any ending at this point would suffice.

Well, they've already had lots of rape and a near-sample of incest. They killed off 99% of Guts' friends, had his best friend betray him, then he was maimed just in case he didn't get the message.

This comic is almost like torture porn where the main character just suffers for two decades.

Yea, a "happy" ending at this point could be him saying "gently caress this" and going to live in a cave for the rest of his life. As long as wine and meat existed nearby, he wound be ahead of the curve.

I always assumed that in that reality, Griffith was just cuckolded repeatedly. Possibly by Guts.

The mail is the one final hope for resurrecting a dead planet from its ashes, and the letter carriers are the brave soldiers of God in this righteous crusade.
Caska was pretty convinced that Griffith had no interest in her at that point. I think she just felt sorry for Griffith and wrote off his attack as trying to prove something he couldn't do. In short, she didn't take him seriously and probably didn't think he was seriously trying to rape her.

I think that Skull Knights prophecy was probably referring to a potential fear of going into battle to face Griffith/Femto again. At least, the feminist inside me hopes so. I really liked Caska's character and I really think it would be great if she returned in full glory.

The fact that Femto is the body of her son would also cause some interesting complications as well, and I can't wait to see the result.

I would love some kind of happy ending where Guts and Caska defeat Griffith and his army and retire to some cottage outside a village where they occasionally participate in monster and demon hunts.

And then, a myserious blonde woman slays all the demons and claims that payment is to be made to a man in black...

For some reason, I really don't hate Griffith. He's a real bastard, but for some reason he doesn't inspire the hatred in me that some villains can. Because of that, I can't help but hope that the ending involves some sort of redemption, etc. for Griffith, like him taking down the Godhand. Or, even better, some twisted ending where Griffith ends up ruling benevolently, yet Guts still kills him and collapses the world into chaos. Then it just ends. Gotta love you some lack of closure.
