Scoobi posted:I dont know what you guys are arguing, im saying that entire page is hilarious. First the absurdity of guts maiming a tiger demon in two, then the stunned reaction of the crowd. Okay, I actually just got to this part of Berserk and in context that's pretty funny.

Zoolooman posted:I'm going to take a different perspective on this. I'd speculate that none of the current friends will die. I agree with this. To me it seems more like Guts and Griffith are both reforming there personal "Band of Hawk"s and Guts will most likely keep his friends close until the near end. Guts has actually had traveling companions for the majority of this manga.

whether or not this particular show or story is sexist/racist ranks very high among the most pointless forums discussions.

wid posted:I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but the sea-monster-vagina-face tentacles looks EXACTLY like the thing in the movie "The Mist", where the same creature/tentacle grabbed the bagboy in the supply garage. Slightly smaller in the movie since it couldn't swallow an entire dude but the spikes, the shape, the vertical mouth, all the same. I wonder if there's a connection. Actually we see the entire monster toward the end and it's humongous.

Zorak posted:It doesn't mean she'll necessarily fall for his charisma; she may do it entirely out of sympathy. I mean really, Griffith gave up his humanity to be king, but what has it got him REALLY? Empty power. An empty existence. It's almost pathetic in a way; it's what he's always wanted, and he now essentially gets it because he can get anything he wants now. I think you've put too much thought into this and have made up your own ideas where they are not confirmed or implied within the story.

Zorak posted:My predictions about Caska's actions are; she's shown pretty silly sympathy for him before both before and after the Eclipse. She was Guts' lover, but she felt the most devotion to Griffith and his cause. My problem with all of this is that you seem to think this will happen purely because it will be another bad thing to happen to Guts. "This is the most dramatic outcome" is never a good enough explanation. It's going to take a HUGE leap of logic on the writer's, character's, and audience's part to accept something like that happening. I mean think about it, for her to return to Griffith, Caska has to: 1. Not remember anything before the eclipse (very possible) 2. Not believe Guts when he tells her what happened (I guess this can happen, even though Guts has a TON of proof to back his story up) 3. She has to not think anything about : - how everyone else in the Hawks is dead - the marks on guts' neck and caska's chest - the monsters that attack them every night - how these same monsters serve Griffith - how her mark bleeds and burns when she gets near Griffith ...Which would just make her a stupid character, which she is not. quote:Guts needs a justification to bother returning to do Griffith in. The Skull Knight clearly pointed out it was either go after Caska or go after Griffith. He went after Caska, and decided to help her. But she is a person herself; the strongest dramatic likelihood would be for her to end up going to the monster that Guts passed on chasing after just to help her, leading Guts back towards actually giving a poo poo about what Griffith is up to at this point. What!? You seriously think he doesn't have a motivation to Kill Griffith? Did you miss what happened during the Eclipse? He's been trying to kill Griffith since this manga started. Bringing Caska back just took priority over killing Griffith. Whenever she comes back/doesn't come back/jumps off a cliff as soon as she returns Guts is going right back to killing him.

Zorak posted:Guts has abandoned going all revenge crazy after Griffith. He has plenty of past motivation, but his focus is entirely on Caska. Caska suddenly killing herself is pretty anti-climactic, and the implication is that she WILL regain her mind, just not necessarily be what Guts expects. Guts is ignoring the Griffith situation on the possibility of a happy future, and the possibility of it. Where the hell are you getting this from? Seriously, give me a chapter or page or something where Guts has said or implied that he has given up his quest to kill Griffith. quote:I don't think it's necessarily stupid of Caska to go back to Griffith after all this crap, because she may still love him. Love isn't rational, it doesn't have to make perfect sense. She may very well feel loyalty and love for him still. I'm pretty sure Miura can write that well enough, to frame it well enough. At that time, Griffith had slept with a princess and inadvertently became a prisoner. He didn't put Caska through an ordeal so horrible it drove her insane. Trying to compare anything Griffith did before the eclipse is just stupid. quote:But again, as I've stated, this is my personal theory. I think it's a good one since it maximizes the dramatic tension for when Guts goes after Griffith, since the driver for the revenge is an active one rather than an old one. Again, drama for drama's sake does not make any theory work. Yes, it is loving retarded of Caska to go back to Griffith. "Irrational Love" is when you forgive someone for sleeping around on you or treating you bad. No amount of love is going to make a woman forgive a man for throwing her into a demon rape pit, raping her himself, and murdering everyone she has ever loved. If Miura tries to insult me by having her go back to Griffith I will seriously stop reading Berserk. I'm sorry Zorak, I usually agree with you but this theory is just ignorant.
