But they're friendly mermaids. For once Miura didn't make the fantasy creatures be all rapey or tear people's flesh with their teeth. Instead they have magic songs that cleanse evil. He must be going soft.

You can't just make everything bleak all the time. You gotta give that little bit of hope, so that when it's finally all taken away it stings even more.

I think the thing I'm curious about more than anything else, in any fiction I'm currently into that's ongoing, is that the other shoe is going to be with Falconia. It's been shown time in time again in Berserk; nothing is gained without sacrifice, and right now Griffith is the literal salvation to every person in Midland. There is going to be a downside to all of this, it's going to be a doozy.

We've already heard the prophecy. Griffith is going to sacrifice every person in falconia, become a god and usher in a new age of darkness

I remember the age of darkness part, but where are you getting that he specifically is going to sacrifice the people in Falconia?

It seems like the age of darkness was kicked off with the human world and the spirit world merging into one and the God Hand becoming corporeal.

I'm basing it on the fact that Falconia is built upon a dead city of sacrifices. He'll probably do it again.

So, the old kushan magician used to ride around on a giant bird and he now secretly keeps 'a monster' in the barn. Griffith gathers every monster he can find to sate his apostles. The magician and his pet might not have warranted attention before, but it isn't like there are an infinite number of monsters out there. If events work out like I think, this might be the first crack we see in falconia.

The first crack is this dude, look how goddamn sneaky he looks

With no God Hand to help explain things, that first Eclipse must've been so confusing for the person who became Void.

maybe the eclipse became what it is because of his inner desire to punish those around him. every other eclipse is just the others adding on to his

So what would be the theoretical climax be? Casca tricking Griffith into making himself vulnerable for an attack? Making him finally admit that he regrets the loss of the real band for a hollow dream that never ends?

guts ruins enough of griffith's plans that he gets desperate and sacrifices the city, or it was his plan all along and he sacrifices the city. he succeeds and guts somehow finds a way through and kills him, or guts stops him before it happens. griffith is killed when momentarily distracted at his dream finally coming true

berserk's supernatural elements comes from people wanting reasons. saw something spooky in the woods? it was a dragon. wife dies in childbirth? evil witch. orphan abandoned by parents? demon child. have a good life? it was fated. have a bad life? it was fated. its simple as hell and people inevitably make it complicated.

oh yeah? then wheres Santa Claus, smart guy?
