The One True Oden

Pelican Dunderhead posted:

do you think by the time guts reaches midland again rickert will have built a ganishka sized wooden robot and also made out with all the hot ladies

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Rickert is absolutely going to invent Guymelefs while Guts and co are on elf island.

Gaston actually survived the eclipse, his fashion line has taken the world by storm and his mercantile empire is challenging Griffith's rule!

Guts will come back to the mainland to find out that 50 years passed while he was on fairy island,

that actually seems pretty likely to me. griffith needs to be brought down a bit before guts has a chance to reach him and all the elements for that to happen already exist. however, the process will take time and falconia won't crumble overnight.

It just has some serious foundational issues of defeating Ganishka too quickly and removing a common enemy for the Apostles to kill. Even with other monsters roaming around, there's likely still far too many apostles around to keep in a cage and not kill humans without something to direct the Band of the Hawk at.

The Merrow specifically said so right as they got off the boat. Besides that, Elfhelm is pretty clearly inspired by Tír na nÓg and "time moves faster here" is like one of the most central parts of that legend.

You could also solve that problem by having Rickert outfit them with steamtanks armed with flamethrowers.

Actually now that I think of it combine that with the timeskip idea. Guts and company come back only to find out Rickert has spent 20 years pimpslapping people out of believing in Griffith.

No, they're going to form up together like Voltron. Void will be the head/body, Femto and Slan will be the arms, and Ubik and Conrad will be the stubby little legs.

Gut's party reacts in a similar manner. Farnese stands on guts head, serpico and casca are used as melee weapons by guts, and the rest make popcorn and watch.

To be honest, I was half expecting it to be some non-canon special, behind-the-scenes issue or another 5-issue long flashback because they didn't advertise this one much in the YA announcement. At least we get to see what Griffith's been up to since The Slap Heard Round The World.

The art is as beautiful as ever but ehh. Feels like filler to me.

Also seeing Zodd charging along with a bunch of no-name apostles like that kinda cheapens his whole thing. I know he gave it up when joining Griffith but still.

I just don't get the timing.

Like, finish up the casca stuff - then cut to Griffith - then cut back to guts and their next move.
When something is monthly and of variable (and sometimes very short) length, this seems a poor decision.

Look, sometimes Miura wants a pallet cleanser of showing a bunch of monsters or designing different kinds of armor. It's like a kind of relaxation practice for him.

There is also the possibility of him showing Griffith in a certain situation where it may be not the best time for him to suddenly feel the "real" Casca through the Od. Thinking about him, about the Eclipse, about what's happened to her in all this time.
