For everyone who is sick of waiting for new berserk, go read Sin Angyo Onshi, if you haven't already. It's by far the manga that deserves to be compared to berserk the most. And it's finished, so no more waiting for chapters. edit: basically to sum things up, this is the only manga besides berserk that has managed to amaze me.

And it's finished, so no more waiting for chapters. I read this recently on the recommendation of the Seinen thread. It is very good, and the artwork is amazing, but it does have a lot of little things that bug me (For example, I thought a lot of the humor seemed forced or maybe out of place, and Kye Wol Hyang's characterization wasn't that great. Also Sando's impossible outfit.). I think going in with the expectation of it being "like Berserk but Korean" made me more critical of it. I really did like the Korean folklore tidbits at the end of every chapter, and Munsu is just awesome.

I like to think Munsu is the same as how Guts was at the very beginning of the berserk. He's just an rear end in a top hat who wants to pretty much kill god, and he'll gently caress up anything that gets in his way. I kind of wish Guts was still like that.

Since we're on the Shin Angyo Onshi topic, anyone else felt that the ending was rushed? A ton of characters, especially the bad guys, were never explored and just thrown into the final epic battle. Aji Tae was also not fully explained, where he came from and what is his true motives. A lot of stuff were hinted in the earlier chapters but brushed aside at the end and Aji Tae was reduced to a typical magical wizard bad guy with an obvious weakness instead of Korean Griffith/Femto he started as.

Well, how do people actually expect Guts beating Griffith/Femto? I mean, there is no possible way currently unless Griffith does the not uncommon and incredibly dumb thing and fight him as a human to show he's progressed enough again to beat Guts after the original loss. That or he gets another magical power up from the fairy island effectively turning him into a good version of an apostle (or complete safe control of the berserker armour but this shouldn't really help there).

And it's finished, so no more waiting for chapters. It's amusing how both first story arcs have the main characters killing snake demons. The first chapter was pretty good but I don't feel the same sense of evil from the main character of SAO that guts has. It's also not nearly as bloody (so far). I'll read it since there is no berserk atm :'(.

Guts will do a fusion dance with the moonchild and release a moon tiara magic attack using the collective power of the world. In all seriousness, I'm expecting him to sacrifice his current squad to somehow gain the ability to fight Griffith on equal level. Or maybe he wont. Maybe he'll end up like the Skullknight and spend centuries trying in vain to vanquish his nemesis and the whole story will be a "you can't fight destiny" fable and then we all rage. I just really hope Miura has a contingency plan to publish some outline of what his plan with the story was if he ever croaks. I've been following the series for over a decade now and it would suck to just never know what the author intended at all.

I figure he knows exactly how he wants the story to go. Of course, Miura is getting older, and with each chapter he is confronted by just how much time and effort it will take to finish the manga properly. Plus, he is probably pretty well off by now, perhaps even set for life.

Griffith raids the elf homeland and initiates the final showdown. Caska regains her sanity or whatever in the last few chapters then Griffith rapes her again, during which time Guts deals the final blow. Obvious ridiculousness aside, I could see it ending in another 40 chapters (10 years).

Lord_Pigeonbane posted:Puck is going to be an apostle. We all know that this is the only way this can turn out. Puck is actually the Idea of Good, in the process of being born. When Guts finally confronts his rage and lust for revenge by receiving psychological therapy in the Elf Kingdom, and comes to terms with his issues, his good vibes will cause Puck to take on his final form of the Idea of Good, counteracting the Idea of Evil and rendering the God Hand completely powerless. Then Caska regains her sanity, Guts and Caska get married, have a[nother, normal] baby, and live happily ever after. The entire crew on the ship see this, work out their own issues, and live happily ever after as well. Griffith gets locked in the Abyss with the rest of the God Hand, helplessly watching the two ideas go at it forever and ever. And humanity forgets about all the horrors, and live in peace from the supernatural. The End.

Is he the demon that Kye Wol Hyang and Munsu stumbled upon as kids? Also, why was Aji Tae so worried that Munsu released him and not Kye Wol Hyang?

^^: The way the demon works is he grants your wish and then somehow manifests based on your existence. Your death leads to the demon's death. Munsu's wish took priority, I guess, so it was manifesting under Munsu. If Munsu had died, the demon would have died. I guess eating your "host" makes them sort of a part of you, getting around this? So that's why eating Kye Wol Hyang would have been fine?ANIME AKBAR posted:For everyone who is sick of waiting for new berserk, go read Sin Angyo Onshi, if you haven't already.

So the reason why the demon kept Munsu alive for so long is because it might've known that Munsu was connected to it some way. That's why the demon kept sending people to help him. That and the demon wanted to really crush his spirit. Thanks!

Algid posted:That was because of the ritual where he used the other demon to somehow make Munsu sick and turn his girlfriend into a zombie. It's not because of the fact that Munsu released him. Sando is a dragon from the moon or something; it's been a while since I've read SAO. There's a side story or a chapter that explicitly says it (the one with Sando's old boyfriend/caretaker). I think the significance of that is that not all monsters are evil/should be destroyed or something in contrast to the head little kid face angel demon is from the moon too?

Speculation is pretty unsatisfying for all. I'd rather deconstruct the actual fight between Guts and Griffith. I don't see why it is such a big leap of logic that can Guts can cut demons apart with his sword but he wouldn't be able to do the same to Griffith. The real concept is that Griffith's power comes from his assuming the fantasies of people. Griffith is the idea of a savior. He is the white knight personified. Guts is the rejection of fantasy, thus the black knight. The story is the fight of ideas of many versus the ideas of a few. Griffith's influence is his power and it is a reinforcing loop of support. Guts is supported only by his party. However, both of the factions are able to influence the world. So the question isn't if Guts can kill Griffith, the question is can the ideas of a few trump the ideas of many. I think Guts will be asked to make a sacrifice because he has been prompted with a choice consistently in the story. He will have to choose between Caska or his party. I can't speculate any further.

Naw, Guts will do some super-power-ultra-spinning thing to his sword as he throws it, turning it into a spinning ball of sword. Griffith will try to dodge out of the way, but he forgot Guts did extra training to make the spinning ball of sword fly in a completely unpredictable path, and so the flying, spinning sword ball will nail him square in the chest. Then it will bounce off, because Griffith was wearing magical plot armor. Then they start wrestling each other. In a vat of pudding. Then Caska joins in.

I know it was short and he stopped to do other things but he was completely ineffectual. We have no idea exactly what Griffith is capable of, just that all of the apostles immediately bow down to him aside from the emperor.
