the godhand exists for people's need for a reason. someone dies in the woods, a monster ate them. someone gets sick, its a demon plague. the godhand are born from the desire to make life have meaning.

Hodgepodge posted:I don't think Griffith has entirely cut off his humanity. Guts and Casca were supposed to be part of his sacrifice, and they're still alive. To him, they were the most important people in the Band of the Hawk, in his entire life. We've already seen him willing to show human qualities when it comes to Rickert as well. Desire is a changeable thing, and he only was pushed to sacrifice them under extreme circumstances in a decision which had to be made on the spot. i think people are trying fit berserk in common tropes when its has consistent, almost 30 year narrative about fate and desire. i think when berserk is finished, it will be easier to see the whole story as complete message, instead like most mangas, needing to invent bigger and badder threats to continue the series. temple fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Sep 11, 2018 |

it boils down to if griffith is tied to falconia like he was to the hawks? griffith whored himself to a pedarest to avoid years of bloodshed for his soldiers. he's more complicated than he seems.

Hodgepodge posted:Saying that they have nothing left to accomplish implies that you know what they are trying to accomplish. i know what they have said and they wanted to bring out a merging of the spiritual world and the material world. demons are now living with humans. griffith is reborn. its to hard image that the bad guys won but they did. a long time ago too.

remember that we are going by what the godhand and skull knight have said. there is no reason to belief causality matters. guts is proof that causality isn't real. as said many times before, the point of the story might be that fate doesn't matter because that's pretty much guts's motto.

Hodgepodge posted:They operate through causality, which means that any plans they have take time to develop. fyi:there is no reincarnation in berserk. the dead stay dead. temple fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Sep 12, 2018 |

Hodgepodge posted:And? What themes are being developed through this imagery, and do you think they contradict my argument? guts and co are currently located in alfheim , land of the elves, connected to the world tree yggdrasil. if miura wanted the story to focus of buddhism, i'm sure he would do that instead of placing everything in a western setting

Hodgepodge posted:Or he could be recontextualizing familiar themes in a western setting, or drawing upon multiple sources of inspiration. im sorry for offending you

Berserk has had multiple arcs so its resolved itself many times. I think people are waiting for a climatic battle with Griffith but Guts has 2 showdowns with Griffith, pre and post Eclipse. Its matter of what you want the end to be. I'm satisfied with the story and whatever else comes is a bonus.

I think Berserk is about learning hard lessons. Killing Griffith accomplishes nothing for Guts. Its a revenge fantasy by the readers but I think Guts wants to move on.

Harlock posted:I wonder if some gimmick will show up that Griffith hasn't achieved full power/whatever since Casca and Guts lived and all of his sacrifices havent been completed. Yeah I think the same. I think that's why Griffith isn't totally evil because she didn't shed all of his humanity.

I like the Wylad as a character but the demon reveal was unneeded and the 97 anime is more shocking with just Zodd and the Eclipse

Viridiant posted:I'd actually love it if Berserk ends up overall being about learning how to healthily cope with PTSD and allowing Griffith's world to fall apart without Guts and Casca having to go through even more pain and suffering. Guts' biggest enemy isn't Griffith, it's his rage and thirst for vengeance. Sating the dog has never been presented as a good thing in this series even if it's gotten him and his friends out of binds.

Gaiseric's kingdom was destroyed and it was the First Empire. I possible Griffith and the Second Empire falls.
