What was the point of becoming a massive monstrous abomination if you're completely ineffective against, well, everything?

Except... this isn't him even attacking. these are basically just residue left from him walking. We haven't exactly seen Ganishka attacking with his giant rear end body.

I'm hoping that's what the loud noise near the end was, him getting his rear end in gear. But I don't follow the raw very well due to language difficulty, so I guess I'll find out in the future.

It looked like it was the psychic kid yelling in everyone's minds. Everyone was freaking out and she is probably Griffith's plan to calm them down.

Im getting more and more excited for every chapter. Lets just hope we get another chapter after the next one before Miura takes another long rear end break...

Although 3 chapters in 1½ month is as close to heaven as we can get.

I got the same impression, but if that is the case, I can't wait till when someone calls Griffith out on all his poo poo in front of her and she realises he's a huge wanker.

And this is my new favourite Miura armour:

Haha, yeah I noticed that one too. At first I thought it was one of the demon warriors. Took a while before I really understod how it's supposed to be designed.

Edit: Btw, can anyone tell what Sonia shouts in Japanese? I've just red some different translations of it.

She says 愚かァ with バ integrated in the bottom part of the kanji so both 愚か and バカ at the same time..

Six two-page spreads, wonder what the record is so far ?

I'm not usually the type of guy who has trouble figuring out what's going on in manga but the sheer volume of DEMON WAR in this chapter confuses the hell out of me trying to see who's killing what and picking out one monster from the others. For the first bunch of pages anyway.

Everybody realizing what Griffith's all about is more exciting to me than any loving page-filling epic battle. That poo poo's fun if you're reading it in bulk and can gawk at the artwork knowing there's so much more at your disposal, but in monthly installments it's just page-filler that's going to make the next wait come even sooner.

I love Sonia and Mule.

I don't think it matters yet. What seems more important is how impotent all people are.

Yeah, it's not unrealistic for his abilities. But as always, eventually the fabric of the fantasy will fall sometime, and the horrors will begin; then the people will realize what they've got them messed up in.

This is sort of a sidetrack, but since people brought up the anime, I looked up the voice actor for Griffith.

I hope so. The backgrounds are pretty well done but people look pretty ugly (they took griffith's horrible lips from the manga and gave them to every female, I guess that's an improvement) and any movement is done on an absolute minimum budget.

~ I. CAN'T. I CAN'T GET IT ON ~

Edit: I think Berserk is fundamentally about getting it on. If the godhand could get it on without murdering thousands of people, the world of Berserk would be a much more peaceful place. ~ I'M WAILING SO LONG ~

Pretty cool chapter, but it is over soooo soon. The crowd's reactions are hilarious too, if you look closely, especially when the little sorceress is seemingly crushed, and when she's actually OK (look at the little girls, or the mother who shields her kid's eyes, after letting him watch the brutal monster vs crime-of-nature battle :D )

I personally thought this one was very satisfying. Instead of yet another monster/demigod standoff, we saw the people of Midland standing up for themselves effectively. I like that. I guess that means they'll all be horribly crushed come December 12th, though.

Anyone else get the feeling Miura recently saw 300 from Sonya's speech?

So apparently the reason why Miura takes so many frequent breaks is because he is playing something called Idol Master?
Here's the link to the article (it's a bit :nws:): http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/12/11/kentaro-miura-quits-berserk-to-play-idol-master/

I have no idea what to make of this but it does not bode well for berserk if it's true.

Someone get that man laid and then strap him to a desk for the next 6 months. Then hire someone to slap him upside the head everytime he tries to get up.

Shouldn't he be contractually obliged to output so many chapters a year or something? I've no problem normally with Mangaka taking a leave of absense for a week or two - in fact I'm shocked shonen mangaka don't take more of them really, considering what I've heard about their average lifestyle but it's a bit obscene that I can stop reading Berserk for 2+ years and come back and be caught up in 20 minutes.

It also bodes poorly that he's willing to give up on something he's been writting and drawing for ~20 years for a bit of eye candy and I'm thinking it's best to resign myself to never seeing it finished frankly.

That's so ridiculous, like he's trolling the fans or something. Or making fun of himself for taking so many breaks and isn't being serious.

I wonder if that's worse than the author of Hellsing taking so many breaks to draw porn. At least that finished, though.
