I bet he's working on a berserk crossover for that idolmaster game. Guts and his muscles singing and doing whatever those idols do in that game.

Frankenstein Dad posted:I was playing Legend of Mana today, and look what I found on the ceiling of the blacksmith's workshop: Yeah, there a lot of them about.  It seems to be one of the few weapons in the Berserk universe not actually based on a real historical weapon. Probably because a 6'6", 400lb sword wouldn't be much use to anyone.

idk about 400lbs but a large bladed weapon would be good for anti-cavalry fighting, everything else not so much.

A decently long spear works just as well if you have some buddies and has the added bonus of not needing to be the incredible hulk to use it. Angular momentum is a bitch.

Even if someone could lift it it'd be way too slow for real combat. You'd need someone with superhuman strength. EDIT: Oh you mean just large bladed weapons in general, not the dragonslayer. Yeah they have some use but not much. RatHat fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Jan 21, 2015 |

Thanks all, for letting everyone know what the manga already said in chapter 3 Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough…that thing is too big to be called a sword…it was more like a large hunk of iron. Very informative all

So I know we can't know exactly where everyone's story's headed just yet, however I'd like to hear people's thoughts on Griffith's end game, or at least his next goal. He's created a utopia, and everything is shaped to make him the ruler absolute by right of conquest, politics, and religion. The world has changed and united all people (of Midland at least) against the great myths that have been awakened in the world. People can find refuge in the miraculously appearing Falconia. Griffith is the Anti-Christ, good times. So what now? He has his own kingdom, he has absolute power in the physical world. Even the apostles obey his will. Can anyone speculate where it's all going?

He sacrifices everything and everyone to obtain the power to utterly break the godhand and fate itself, so that he can become ruler of all existence.

Griffith is a literal Big Dick G now so I kind of more meant he doesn't have Guts. He can't control Guts, even if everything Guts does amounts to nothing, it's still struggling against fate and Griffith's designs.

I know what happened at the Field of Swords, but I never believed that Griffith was ever "done" with Guts.

The baby he used for his physical form will be critical in taking down Griffith I think, it's his only real weakness and vulnerability to Guts and that mute lady, I forgot whatever her name was.

If Griffith does fall at some point (and to some extent I think he will, but I don't know how far) it's going to be his own hubris and his own flaws that undo him. Guts will probably play a part but Griffith is going to fly too close to the sun or something or just make a huge mistake because of Guts.

I think it could be that he might try a power play against the rest of the God Hand and they're going to knock him down a peg in retaliation.

Maybe Griffith will be struck by existential terror and depression after essentially cheating to attain his life long dream. Right before Guts finally manages to reach Griffith and smash his skull in, Griffith just magically vanishes from existence by choice and Guts dream of revenge is also left unfulfilled. Then Isidro kicks Guts in the balls.

Being absolved of his need for revenge is the best thing that could happens to Guts. Look at the Skull Knight if you want evidence of this.

Assuming there is an ending at all, some characters might get a happy one. Guts absolutely will not.

I don't know, despite all the darkness and horror throughout the manga Miura never struck me as one of those manga-ka who'd do darkness for the sake of darkness...if the plot provides the opportunity I wouldn't be THAT surprised by poor Guts getting a sort of happy ending.

It reminds me of basically how Frieza said it would take 5 minutes for the planet to blow up, and it took what 10 to 30 episodes for to blow up? Just multiply that by 10 with Berserk and it feels the same.

Guts' body is falling apart. He is going blind and he has lost his sense of taste. This was before he spent like an hour being pummeled by cthulu's heartbeat, even. Every time he fights he damages himself. What's more, he has only faced one of Griffith's generals thus far and it ended in a draw. So, even though I sincerely doubt that Guts will have to fight every general apostle, harder and more brutal fights await. Guts' situation is deliberately hopeless. Even if he somehow comes out on top in his feud with Griffith, he will be betrayed by his own mortality. Guts completing his revenge and then dying is most definitely not a happy ending. Of course, none of this matters because Miura will die before he completes Berserk. I guess it just doesn't have enough water sports to hold his attention these days.

temple posted:All that is demon/magical influence. Don't be disappointed if Miura decides to give Guts an uplifting ending. I'm not a fan of torture porn and Berserk isn't mean for mean sake. It could easily go the other way, like how Guts and Caska were rejuvenated by the forest witch. I think a happily ever after ending would be the most shocking. Silent Hill 1 good ending: Guts and a restored Caska walk off into the sunset with a reborn Griffith infant found in a grave after the final battle

That fairy king is supposed to be a super effective healer, though, so maybe he'll get better from there at least for a while.

I'm not sure Miura even knows what to do anymore with the Elfheim/Fairy king business. It's obviously going to have to be a major turning point for Guts (for better or worse) and the boat gets seemingly slower by the chapter.

Caska was also temporarily healed in the Dreamcast game which was also cannon, so It's pretty likely we will see her not being a bumbling idiot at some point... I'm just curious if she is going to remember the eclipse at all, I wouldn't be suprised if she ended up choosing new/old griffis over Guts and sends Guts off the deep end.

I really doubt she'll do that. I don't think she's going to turn on Guts but things aren't going to go back on the way they used to be, and she's likely going to be miserable, or at least choosing to fight. When Skull Knight(?) asked if that was really best for her, I don't think that was foreshadowing her turning on Guts, but just that she'll never be as happy or free from pain as she is now if he chooses to heal her being retarded. I think Guts might choose to let her live like this, and that'll be a major turning point for him as a character and possibly what's best for her. On the other hand, he may think that living in reality is better and push her into it. On the other other hand, retard caska may know more than she lets on and might choose to recover herself. I used to not be that interested in the whole curing Caska thing but now I'm interested to see where Miura goes with it. I think the ending, if we ever see it will be at the very least bittersweet, and not awful.

I may not remember correctly but didn't she decide to stay with griffis right before the eclipse happened? Pretty sure she had already made the decision to ditch Guts. And who knows, maybe the issue isn't a psychological one... maybe her brain got scrambled by having sex with a super god.

She didn't want to leave Griffith because he was completely feeble and helpless. Now that he's born again Evil Jesus and entirely without problems, she doesn't need to be with him.
