Guts doesnt necessarily have to kill Griffith, just do something that gets Falconia to turn on him as he walks away with Casca. Griffith breaks down and is destroyed by his own kingdom.

I'm betting on Skully murdered previous God Hand members showing that they can be destroyed but something something cycles and destiny - they'll be replenished or replaced overtime and never truly gone forever.

The only thing that would make me think Skull Knight didn't kill the other Godhands is how badly he hosed up trying to kill Femto/Griffith.
Void could have learned from last time to prevent it, also Griffith's ascension is explicitly different than the rest, right?

If you were looking to buy the deluxe editions, the first couple of volumes are out of stock nearly everywhere likely due to the news, and Vol 1 in particular is like the third best selling book across all of Amazon right now.

ANN posted an excerpt from an interview published a month ago:

quote:

Miura: Do you know how the story will flow until the ending of Cestvs?

Wazarai: That's the question, isn't it? laughs* Now let me just ask directly, how much of Berserk have you gone through now?

Miura: I've been planning to start wrapping it up soon. laughs* Just thinking of wrapping it up without expanding the story further.

Wazarai: And here I am not even halfway done with my story idea. What are we going to do with ourselves?

Miura: At this point, it's just question of our continued health, right?

Wazarai: Like, whether your life will run out before you ever get to finish it.

Miura: Well, they say humans can live up to 100 years old now, and some people can keep on working no problem until they're 90, if they're careful about it.

Agh.

If you miss the 97 dub voice cast, they're in the movie trilogy. I believe the whole thing is available to watch on Netflix right now.

I look at it the other way - it's Griffith fully mask off and unleashed. He doesn't have to pretend to care about people anymore, he has their adulation and devotion. He is king poo poo and absolutely knows it.

As an endgame story beat, I had the thought there would be some sort of cataclysmic event to counter the behelit sword splitting open the barrier between the physical realm and the Astral realm where everything would just become mundane again - no magic, demons, etc.

Otherwise there's no real 'fixing' the hosed up world unless it's reborn in some way. If fixing it were even a goal.

Berserk is a tragedy at its core, but I think the growth of Guts' character is to not end up like Skullknight (cursed to roam forever only driven by vengeance) and Griffith (sacrificed everything including his humanity for power and glory). Guts represents the human struggle and by extension, hope, to keep pressing through what life/fate has to throw at us.

For him to succumb to the armor or to use the behelit would be a disservice to him. I think 2022 Guts would rather die on his feet than give in to that darkness. He may be tempted by how things get, but his new friends/growth will pull him back from the edge.

Where the manga has gone in recent years is a place where swinging a giant sword isn't the answer anymore. That's my take on it at least.

Just finished the '97 series. Hell of a final shot to end on postcredits notwithstanding.

Are the Golden Age movies or the broadcast version from '22 better?

They're fine, I don't think it's better than the 97 series. Just more ways to keep telling the Golden Age Story.
