I'd purchase a book that's just the notes and drawings of his plans for the continuation. Kinda like Hergé got for his unfinished Tintin book.

A reincarnation is a new person who we're just told has the same "soul" as the old person.

Kind of, it seems the moon child influenced Griffiths behavior when he protected casca. something femto would've never done.

mc and griffith are seperate characters narratively but it's intentionally vauge where one ends and the other begins imho

Also one of the latest chapters revealed the godhand in the past had completely different members aside from void. which implies that someone, almost certainly skull knight, found away to off all of them besides void. perhaps guts could've finished the job especially since they incarnated on the physical plain. might not get rid of the idea of evil but could prevent it from issuing behelits

huh, interesting

i do hope we get his cliffs notes at least. he inspired so many artists, finishing the work with a different artist each chapter would be a fitting tribute though

it could also imply this is a cycle of sorts

Another option, of course, is that Fairy Island is the end of Guts and Casca's adventure, and it's Isidro, Schierke, and the rest of the gang who end up taking down Griffith - not to satisfy some personal sense of revenge, but because he's bad for the world and needs removing.

The dude getting cooked from the inside out by some kid who's barely even met him while his two most personal victims ignore him to find their own happiness would be oddly poetic in its own right.

The Eclipse is really one of those perfect moments of supernatural horror that taps into all of your primal childhood fears. Suddenly the rules of the world don't make sense anymore, everything is unfair and there's nothing that you can do about it.

the context of the entire golden age makes the eclipse possibly the single greatest moment of just unbelievable, incredibly intense evil in fiction

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



lets see one has a character say the line "thank you for becoming a mass murderer" and the other does not gee golly is this hard or what

I knew Dark Souls had a lot of features inspired by Berserk but it's something else to see them all in sequence like this.

Seconding this. For anyone else who hasn't watched it yet, the setting for the show is some republic gets invaded by a rogue AI swarm and its solution to this existential crisis is to strip citizenship from all of its minorities and conscript them to go fight killbots like some sort of fascist Zapp Brannigan. It gets grimmer from there.

On a related note, watching it in parallel with the breaking news from India sure is something. Also, the anime adaptation is being co-directed by two of Mamoru Hosoda's apprentices, and they're doing an incredible job.

Pretty sure that it's just the usual old story of an institutionally corrupt, racist oligarchy pretending to be a liberal democracy until an existential threat rolls along and they go 'nope, gently caress this, going to feed all the untermensch to the killer robots until they run out their factory warranty'. They drop a few hints right from episode one that the Alba were always a fair bit more equal than others.
