Is the beginning of the manga (with Guts killing the succubus mid-sex) semi-frequently homaged or something? The new Garo show did something vaguely similar and it got called out as a cliche in the season thread, but I've only ever seen anything like it here and in that show.

I'm not asking what it's a reference to, I'm asking if other stuff references the Berserk bit often or something.

I don't recall seeing that bit getting referenced a lot, but Berserk is one of the essential mangas so it does get referenced a lot.

There is also the very unlikely possibility that the season thread is dumb and doesn't know what its talking about.

I just read through the bit were Guts stabs a demon dude in front of his innocent daughter. I'm starting to get the sneaking suspicion that maybe he might be a tiny bit of a psychopath. Also Griffith is a cool-looking motherfucker. edit: what the gently caress is up with the Baphomet orgy? Butt Ghost fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Oct 14, 2014 |

Guts can be a huge rear end in a top hat, but don't worry, he is really well-written. Baphomet orgies were all the rage on those days.

I really want to hear regular opinions of the first-time reader of Berserk and to recall my own long-lost naivete when I thought manga's darkness was going to be limited strictly to Baphomet orgies. I want to feel this despair. I want to feel something, man. Anything. Please. breaks down crying, everyone else from anonymous berserk readers group starts clapping

Given what demons do guts stabin that demon dad is about the best thing he could have possibly done for leetle girl.

Technically it's just an orgy with a guy wearing a Baphomet hat, though

Don't worry, they'll get there and it'll be like Fellowship of the Ring and then Casca will be cured and everything will be alright! Surely...

Pleiades posted:Don't worry, they'll get there and it'll be like Fellowship of the Ring What, they all split up and have to face the power of evil alone without one another's support? Seems a little too bleak for modern Berserk. If Casca does get cured though (can't believe this is still in doubt almost twenty years after retard Casca first became a thing), I honestly can't imagine poo poo going any other way. Casca is hardened killer, surely she wants to settle with Griffith.

I figured Casca would get cured the second the Skull Knight said "Yeah she can be healed but that might not be the best thing".

quote:What, they all split up and have to face the power of evil alone without one another's support? No, I mean that Elfheim(I thought it was Elfhelm. I see it everywhere in Berserk discussions like here: http://www.skullknight.net/forum/index.php?topic=10299.0) will remain untouched just like Lothlorien and Rivendell were. I think Elfhelm might up being a deconstruction of those places. Then again, Elfhelm is FULL of mages, so who knows? As for splitting up like in the end of Fellowship, I can't see that happening unless they fight over the Behelit. Pleiades fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Oct 18, 2014 |

Elfheim. From the Germanic/Norwegian word for "home."

Sorry, it's actually *clears throat, puts on most nasal nerd voice* 妖精郷, read erufuherumu, Elfhelm. Why Miura went with what (in English) looks like a typo rather than an actual place-name, I'll never know. Possibly an intentional corruption that ended up looking more awkward than intended when transliterated. EDIT: lmao it just struck me that it might be a corruption of Elfholm, lit. Elf (small) Island. From old Norse holmr, still in use as holme in modern Swedish, and in a bunch of place names (usually islands with viking connections).

If you go by the kanji, the third kanji is for home town/village, not island. Why he didn't go with エルフハイム for the kana is a mystery to me. I've seen a few Japanese people call it that anyway.

Welp it's a little too nerdy to be the kind of thing I'd like to ask the author, but it's weird.
