Why is Berserk so tonally inconsistent? You'll have a serious scene or a battle, and in one panel there's always the fairy guy doing a silly face.
It would be too dark without him!

Because Guts would actually be dead without it.
Contrast.
Dark/light
humorously big sword/disfigured guy
Grim dark/ fairies and witches
>>144468679
The fairy is there to remind you that the setup is sobrenatural.

I want to fuck Puck
>>144468679
He's a comic relief character you dumb cuck
>>144471155
Yeah, I know that, and that's why the tone is inconsistent.
>>144468679
puck is basically comic relief from the gore and sadness
>>144468679
It was way more noticiable in the last chapters of the Conviction Arc, basically everyone but Guts, Farnese and Heretic Slut were comic relief

The really tenacious pirate was pretty amusing too. The whole arc reads a lot better when it's not taking years to go through. Was probably meant as a breather after the absolute craziness that was the end of the Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc
I haven't read this in years, it's still going on?

They got off the boat.
>>144472698
I fucking hate the pirate accent, reading what they talk was a hassle

The reaction faces look like you took a panel from One Piece or something.
