Holy poo poo it's happening, it's actually loving happening.

I started reading the series right around the time Rickert set off for Falconia. Since then I've gone through 2 jobs and pretty much all of my college education. I honestly was not expecting this to happen until I was an old loving man.

I got into the series in the 90's, I was just getting into anime in general and was reading through Stardust Crusaders when my Brother in Law jokingly suggested I watch berserk. So I did. Then I read it and I've been a fan since. :shepface: I'm still surprised they got off the boat.

I started reading Berserk back when volume 28 was released in Japan and the English volumes were just starting to come out. So I've been waiting about 12 years for this.

I want Casca to either be an all-out combat powerhouse or just stay safe on fairy island away from all of Guts and Griffith's blood feud that will surely end up with both of them dead. Guts can make a baby with her before he takes off, there's your happy ending epilogue to this super dark manga.

Thanks for all your work, Mune! Been avoiding scans and bad TLs otherwise.

I always want to avoid the speedscans but twice now someone's linked to them, I've looked at the first page, thought "good god what happened to evilgenius" and then realized it was just the speedscan.

Man, the difference in translation is... extremely noticeable. Almost like lordmune knows what they're doing :laugh:

Casca coming back just to end up staying on the island away from the main plot would be the lamest payoff ever. Might as well not even bother writing her back into the story at that point.

I really, really hope this all ends with Casca cleaving Griffith in half.

Like that panel where Rickert slaps Griffith, but with a big sword.

If Casca defects to Griffith it had better be impeccably written because it just makes no sense to me

The demons showing up won't be because she brought them


And I could be wrong but everything about Griffith's appearance in her mind tells me she is not fond of him now

i don't see how she even could right now. griffith is on the other side of the ocean, warming a throne. it's not like casca has a direct line to communicate with him.

So taken into the effect how Time flows differently on Elf island, you think Murata gonna do like a timeskip? :v:

Granted, they never specified how much it does but they did make it sound urgent that they get Casca healed quick.

yeah, but casca doesn't have access to them. unless griffith pops in to take her away casca's choices are to stay with the elves, gently caress off on her own, or stick with guts. oh, or kill herself, but after everything that happened i think that might be a little too dark even for berserk.

Flash forward to a 45 year old Rickert who's been fighting against Griffith for decades.

I will venture a guess that at least short term, Casca will stay with the group (she's honestly too integral/central of a character for our main POV to move on from her) but she and Guts will be super distant if not somewhat antagonistic.

It'd be great if getting Casca back makes Guts decide to give up on revenge and just live a quiet life with her in Elfhelm, but Casca's too pissed at everything to agree to that and decides to go on her own rampage of revenge
