Wait. It has the lizard apostle, not the count. Where'd they get that? I was gonna start watching the anime but had some technical difficulties last weekend. Now I'll have to look just to see if they've taken the anime as the source material for that video.

Well like I said, I was getting ready to rewatch then reread it (delayed due to technical difficulties), but I didn't know it was this bad.  The prototype I remember and indeed have here and it's not Vlad Tepes. That's the one with the eye patch and such. Sheesh well thanks for the patience. Edit:  I have no excuse nor explanation, and only one small speculation for what may have happened here. I sincerely apologise for the difficultly I've caused, especially since Black Swordsman is one of the two best arcs.PhantomOfTheCopier fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Jan 18, 2019 |

It seems to come down to Casca at this point. Guts losing Casca might cause him to rampage again, or he might disappear into the hills (and stumble on Rickert's hiding place). (I'll have to look back at the dream, "This is how she really sees Guts"). If the experience has made her stronger, she may decide to pick back up her sword. On the other hand, it's more boilerplate for them to decide they've had enough, Guts to get killed when Griffith invades, and Casca to then start up the rampage that ultimately skewers Griffith.

Keep in mind that people don't really use a Behelit; it's fated to arrive coincident with their despair, which activates it. Of all the people now in Gut's party, the most likely to despair is Casca; I still think it's hers. Now, what happens on activation when the planes are already merged? It doesn't seem we have much (any) evidence for that. We certainly know where most of the apostles are, but the Godhand are seemingly still locked away unless there's a particularly evil spot they can seep through.

Berserk is drat well one of the hardest things to read casually because the only way to avoid feeling like poo poo about the stuff that goes on is to have an aura of cynical detachment on you at all times and that in itself is miserable.

Crowning Griffith is gonna be at least three chapters of flowing hair. Hmm, I wonder what all the chompy apostles (in the arena) will do once Griffith becomes respectable.

Patrick Spens posted:I reading back through again, and I forgot how crazy Guts was during Lost Children. Like dude, chill. After Black Swordsman, Lost Children is Berserk epitomized. He's the perfect focus of rage, minus some of the angst in Swordsman. He has his weapon and knows how to use it and learns about self sacrifice along the way. We get to see real apostles and the development of his fighting style. Meanwhile there's a fairly consistent thread regarding the nature of the world and the appeal of the Godhand, apostlehood, and how to "live". I'm sure I'll have more positives when I start reading it again soon(ish).

I like how, in the absence of Rutger Hauer, he suggests actors reminiscent of Toshirô Mifune. "the first serious duel with Griffith is approaching", but he doesn't say who the challenger will be. Perhaps it will be one of Guts or Casca and they will die? If he's underestimating when he suggests there may be "a fifth or a quarter left", that means another third and another 15--20yr.

It really seems like individual fights with the Godhand would be cool, but it doesn't really jive with their MO. They mostly seem intent on tempting people. I worry they'll just get sucked into Oblivion as some anticlimactic side effect. But for the grace of Gaiseric, please don't tell me that Casca will want them to save Griffith, and/or that he is saved, because that's just way more than is deserved. "Griffith must pay  "

Very good long effort post. Everything between the splash in the river and the bonfire establishes the next hundred chapters. Guts identifies his true character and Casca hers. At that point, what we've known has been acknowledged: Griffith stands between them. (Go back and compare 97, the movies, and the manga: Cave, 100 man battle, bonfire.) Their later reconciliation happens because Griffith has been removed from the picture. Certainly Casca wishes to save him, but her understanding of Griffith has changed. Guts finds the same and, thinking of him as a friend, wants to save him as well. Now, what will the next reconciliation be? Casca returns, Griffith has shown his true colors and Guts his.

Rodyle posted:Also re: someone's earlier comments about demonic motives... I don't think Griffith actually has any, strictly speaking. METHODS for loving sure, but his motives are the same as ever: get paid, get castle, get kingdom, get empire. Still pondering the last few panels in parallel to how Griffith left Charlotte after Guts left him. He jumped from the window and was ensnared. If the moon child again appears to Guts and Casca, what's going to happen now that Casca can speak (presumably)? Has Griffith gone moon child after Falconia? What if time dilation or elf magic keeps him as a moon child? He 'disappears' from Falconia and the apostles come looking for him.

Torquemadras posted:The REALLY interesting part is, what are the characters going to do who DO know something's up, but have no meaningful power to do anything about it? Black Swordsman Guts couldn't touch Femto, nor could he do much in Quilpoth, but that was before the merging of planes, before his scars were wiped clean, and before Casca recovered. People may have more power than it first seems. LORD OF BOOTY posted:
He disappears overnight for some mooning, apostles sleep happy and don't notice. He disappears and there's time dilation or some lunar eclipse blocking his return or something weird, apostles go chompy and he comes back to find Falconia in ruins?

Haha all the self referential breaking of the fourth wall, everything short of an apology.  But yeah it seems like the choices are for Guts to take off his armor or leave... so what's gonna happen when the moon child shows up and turns into Griffith?

I forgot to click send...? The Behelit seems to respond most to despair and anguish. Simple loss may be sufficient, but historically it seems like a state of constant torture matters. Right now there appear to be two people who qualify: Guts and Casca. Also remember that people have actually asked about the Behelits, what they are, and how they work. Almost as if they're planning to leverage it...  LordMune posted:Those are 0% me and 100% Miura. Edit: I humbly accept your explanation below. I knew there had to be some idiomatic speech happening, but I've indeed missed the bubble placement. As to the literal, quasi "let's get this show on the road"...
