Also the worst mistake was the berserker armour. As if Guts ever needed something like that to go berserk and ignore everything that's happening to his own body.

Well consider this: Schierke showed up in 2002 approximately, whereas Idolmaster first came out in Arcades in 2005. So I have my doubts it was Idolmaster's influence which brought Schierke into the manga, moreso Miura's predisposition towards Loli's / Young females.

That armor saved his life and allows him to fight even more outrageous catastrophic monsters than before all hell broke loose, nearing demi-god tier. It makes sense, and it's not like it doesn't come without consequences.

These are the worst things to happen to Berserk.

People only picked up the manga in the past couple years so they are used to Miuras garbage and gladly eat his shit every month and consider it "good".

We haven't had a single good chapter in over 7 years.
>>
>>147010872
>Why would you care about relationships in berserk?

So guts and casca's relationship is irrelevant and we shouldn't care about it?

It's not like its made the gang to travel to an island on the other side of the planet for a decade or anything...

..you're right relationships in berserk are completely irrelevant.

This new party is gut's new band of the hawk comrade replacements.

I can understand maybe the lolibait but griffith's desicion making trip front he eclipse is bad? Shit taste.
>new people eat shit every month and call it good
Or maybe they like it you assclown, sure the newer arcs are nothing compared to the first few, but "garbage"? Faggots like you need to learn that middle grounds exist. Sure nothing particularly great happened with guts since Ganishka , besides form that rickert in griffithland was great, but this far in if the characters haven't grown on you to make an ok story worth it, then why are you even reading it or coming to this thread?
>Haven't had a single good chapter in 7 years
the boat took way to damn long, I can't argue that.

Why do I feel like nothing ever happens when I read this? In the Golden Age Arc,every chapter was exciting and added to the story but I just hate all the forced humour in the newer chapters and how long he drags everything out.

From what I've read in interviews, he had the whole Golden Age arc planned out before even beginning to draw the comic proper. After that, he's just been doing it chapter to chapter.

The current manga is only good/interesting when they focus on Griffiths side.

>>147011871
Yeah but it took 3 chapters after he got onto Skellig. Miura wasted his time drawing backgrounds,there was no reason why chapter 345 and 346 were separate when they could've been easily combined since he wasted about 7 pages of paper just to show us backgrounds.
>>
>>147009785
Honestly this.

I miss when Puck actually felt like a character. Now he's been demoted to a medium for adding barely-mediocre comedy to the story.

people who say berserker armor is the worst thing, consider the fact Puck was already magically fixing all his injuries every time he got into a critical state anyways. Berserker armor is just another Puck padding/reason for him not dying.

Its sad how the only times you're really reminded of how young he is are the few moments that he really laughs.

There are some inconsistencies of the stories told about them in the past, the whole "4 angels? I thought it was 5." We just don't know if any have died (probably at the hands one of the rare survivors of an Eclipse... or each other/the Idea of Evil) or they only just made it up to the magic number. Nice and mysterious.

Never did like that. The heavy iron stuff they all wear should be impervious. In reality, even chain mail is effective against stopping arrows.
>>
>>147009857
Nigger at some point you have to accept that Guts can't beat Griffith with just a big sword and a cannon arm. He needed some kind of power up and the armor fits within the story's themes of losing yourself to rage.
>>
>>147016700
Lol, no. It's because the story is just one boring arc after another. They just kill monsters and proceed.
Ironically, the only interesting moments are the ones they mention things connected with Golden Age arc.
The arc Guts was rescuing Casca was quite good, though.

So The Holy See is almost definitly praying to the Godhand/Idea of Evil, right?

I'm asking because Schierke talked to that priest in the village with the troll issue, and she mentioned something about the 4 kings, you know, the magic stuff she calls upon, and said something about them being in their Bible or something like that.
Was she full of shit?
>>
>>147018646
Schierke's point was that what they pray to could be likened to the 4 kings, but they won't ever get their help because they aren't in tune with magic.
And for your first point, yeah probably. I assume Void's causality shit has been ruining the world since he came about and the Holy See was a misinterpretation due to some evil bullshit. Like a swastika or something, the image was used for something else and stuck, but they don't actually know where it came from in the first place
>>
>>147015084
which part are you talking about? if it was bolts, they can actually penetrate plate from close range
>>
>>147009158

Eh, It kinda took a slow dip after Tower of Conviction. Still good though.
Berserk Armor was probably worse than her, though Guts atleast still uses his head in fights and did need a great powerup inorder to fight what is the elite apostles he has ahead of him, if little girls and old men apostles could push him to the edge he really needed something.

It's not like the armor is some kind of overpowered bullshit. It helps him to keep up but legit cripples him. He's going blind and losing his sense of touch.

Did people really think Guts would take on the God Hand+Griffith just with a big sword and nothing else. Did you fags not read the first few chapters?
>>
>>147019249
no, they expect him to scream "GRIIIFFFFIIIIIITH" really loudly and powerup ala DB
desu, i really don't think the final battle will be with swords
>>
>>147019249

I would say his fight against Grunbeld really showed his mortal limitations and really made it clear that he needed some kind of boost hell he didn't even beat Grunbeld, he only cracked him a bit, but even with that armor dude still needs something more to take on God hand.

>>
>>147019452
I hinestly can't imagine how it will go down. Maybe Griffith will receive a major downgrade from Fairyqueen+those 4 elemental gods or something.

But at least Guts can keep up with the top tier apostles now and it doesn't come without a major price. If anything he's weaker now without the armor because it physically fucks him up so much

Schierke
>>
>>147016700

No.

Schierke is a plot device to heal Guts, and because she's a loli and YA is a magazine that targets perverts she has a prominent role.

She took Puck's place in the series, now all Puck does is be comedy relief instead of helping to de-Edge Guts like he did back then.

She is easily the worst character because her role is fanservice while everyone else has something that couldn't be covered by other character, even Isidro while mostly a joke has more to offer for Guts than Schierke, because of Gambino/Guts paralells except this time Guts can make it right.

Does she even have a character outside of being cute?

I don't think being a snob semi-tsundere loli is a "good" personality. She just seems like something out of a Light Novel, that drill loli in Re:Zero is like that too.


>>147021906
It's not about sexualization it's the fact that she gets all flustered and burns Guts after that.

It's fanservice and it's dumb.

Golden age:
Historically realistic it's like a medieval war setting
Black swordsman/Lost Children/Conviction:
The world is there as it always was, people are living normal lives, but there's a layer underneath that people can't see. Guts walks the line between two worlds. There's no magic or spectacular animals, just apostles that follow the rules of physics like everyone else.
Post conviction:
The world blurs together and creates something new. Trolls, dragons, spectacular magic, and other things that were never physically present.

there's that, and he also has the spiritual wound left by Slan in the Qliphoth.

Black Swordsman - 6-7/10
Golden Age - 10/10
Conviction - 10/10
Millennium Falcon - Guts' parts - 7/10, Griffith's parts - 9/10, overall 8/10
Fantasia:
Sea God mini-arc - 6/10
Falconia mini-arc - 8/10
Elfhelm - first chapters were pretty bad, but the newest one was amazing
>>
>>147021808
I find her dynamic with Guts endearing to the point that lolifags are fucking disgusting, but outside of that she's too overbearing and brings way too much security into the group. There's no tension with any of Guts' fights anymore as he's mainly facing fantastical creatures with the help of his empowered crew and the armor, we haven't seen the Beast for years as well.
The lighter tone is obviously good for Guts, but all the development we've gotten over the years rests on Casca's recovery. I hope she gets better, but I can see some fuckers thanking her if she decides to off herself/join Griffith in order to pave the way for Guts' regression to his Black Swordsman state.

I understand that you want everything to be ok between them, but there has been lots of obvious foreshadowing that something is going to go wrong with her soon.

I think she will only be half healed and guts will have to start a new relationship with her from scrap.

>>
>>147022754
I don't want Berserk to be edgy or grim-dark, I relaly don't care whether they die, just leave, or just change as characters. Isidoro is nothing but a secondary comic relief, and Schierke is just a living deus ex machine/the loli love interest. I don't want it to be 'grrr dark and scary' but the current 'GEE DESU~~~~' they have is even worse.
>>
>>147022865
I think the Dreamcast (maybe PS2) game had a small bit where she was cognizant for a brief moment and it turns out she's basically been living in a nightmare. Been a while since I played through them. Would be interesting if heart-wrenchingly awful[.spoiler] to see that carried through into the actual manga.
>>
>>147022954
>I don't want Berserk to be edgy or grim-dark
Well I do. Berserk was all about that
>>
>>147022434
She's going to come out of this a different person. Guts is constantly thinking of her back when she was of sound mind as a capable soldier and commander, to the point that he may be viewing her as an ideal being. If we separate the three layers of the world to the physical, astral and ideal planes, that would bode some scary shit as her being the Beast's mortal enemy, but that's got nowt to do with her personality.
Right now, Schierke's tsundere tendencies are very much like Casca in her heyday, though the loliwitch is much warmer as a character, so maybe Miura will go down that cold Chihaya route again.

>>147022484
>>147022531
I think anons just say she'll do that as a joke, if you think on it for a bit you'll find that it would be impossible for her to return. Guts doesn't even know Falconia exists. As for what she wants, it's not bad to assume that she just wants to escape from the shitty world she's currently living in, especially when the last time she was conscious it seemed like there was no hope for her at all.
>>
>>147023018
That was also written by Miura so I take it as a hint towards what is to come
>>
>>147023029
>Berserk was all about that
You're wrong
>>
>>147023018
The DC game also shows that she still loves Guts, after Guts spends most of the game calling her "my love" and other sappy shit. The mandragoras have been referenced in the manga in volume 24, with luck Miura didn't forget about it.
>>
What was the logical reason for Griffith raping Casca?

If he cared about his friends, there was no logical reason to do that.

You can even argue the Eclipse was worth it to build a paradise in the form of Falconia, but the reasoning for the rape is completely unexplainable.
>>
>>147023029
I mean, not really, it had that kinda stuff in the story, but tht was just it, that stuff was for the story, not just to be grim.
And I like grim stuff as much as the next guy, but having it at 100% all the time kinda takes away from it's value imo.
>>
>>147023124
>What was the logical reason for Griffith raping Casca?
To make it clear that he's evil now.
>>
>>147023124
Spite. As far as he's concerned Guts and Casca betrayed him and acted against his wishes, which he absolutely does not tolerate. He knew enough from how he met her and the way she admired him to be able to destroy her and inflict even more pain onto Guts. He kept eye contact with Guts to show that as far as Griffith was concerned he still owns them both.
>>
>>147023199
>To make it clear that he's evil now.
I guess that didn't work because there's fags constantly saying he was completely justified in his actions because muh dreams.
>>
>>147023124
That's the point, he only raped Casca to spite the two of them for loving each other over him, which is going to fuck him over. The rape and subsequent birth of the demon babby gives Griffith a vital weakness, as he now has unwanted instincts to protect Casca. Even if the Moon Child is the spirit of the original demon babby, his body still serves as Griffith's vessel and acts on impulse.

Do anons ever think deeper on how Guts and Casca are now basically Griffith's parents?
>>
>>147023124
>If he cared about his friends, there was no logical reason to do that.
Isnt that the reason he did it? Hes throwing away his friends for his desire and punishing guts for his feelings of betrayal and jealousy

I think Millennium Falcon on Guts' side was just as good as Conviction. Every character got good development, everyone had something to do, and all the time spent in Vritanis was excellent. If anything I think that Griffith's parts were the weakest because literally everything was going Griffith's way. I know it was fate and all suppose to happen like that but it was still kind of annoying. The best part of Griffith's side of the story was the lesser characters interacting.

Off the top of my head, during the Mozgus fight, the black haired guy takes a glancing blow on his pauldron, Guts mentions he's at a disadvantage without armor vs Grunbeld, Guts is saved by his helmet vs Bazuso. And obviously any time a character survives a blow while wearing armor we can surmise the armor helped.

Muh nigga. He only makes music for things that he personally likes and you can tell he really gets the source material, particularly when it comes to Berserk when you read some of his interviews for stuff like Hai Yo. Parade's probably my favourite thing from Paprika's OST, though The Girl in the Byakkoya is a close second. He uses all sorts of languages, Paprika's alone was a particularly interesting mix of Japanese, Vietnamese (probably others that I'm not remembering right away) and some garbled samples of who knows what. Its really cool listening through his works to see where he lifts some elements and turns them into something new.

I think that the sea god arc would have been a little better if the boat took a larger role in it (or atleast tried fighting the god itself), the pirates where a bit less comical, and the mermaids/whatever they're called didn't show up so fast and help deal with it so suddenly.
So I guess I don't think that 'darkness' was the problem, but the way it was fixed was overly light and anticlimactic.

Griffith either let Based Rickert slap him, or he's another character who is outside Griffiths story. Remember Skull Knight told Guts that hurting Griffith would be like a character an author made being able to hurt him, or something along those lines. That's why those Kushan arrows went right through him.
Makes me wonder if he's going to play a very important role in Griffiths downfall

what I like most in berserk is guts being guts

pretty much every character is shit or annoying. early berserk is bad because miura was likely less skilled. only one element of golden age arc was great, guts' rise culminating in guts beating griffith. then there was some nice solo stuff if you ignore the annoying elf. and then... came the worst arc, conviction arc, which was just not enjoyable in any way and introduced the worst companions, the annoying dumb kid and the mentally deranged couple
>>
>>147028804
nerve fiber which is cut forms new "cores" where the damage is located. Phantom pain in amputated arms is the classic example. Guts would just have a bunch of closed endings, no way to connect that tissue with his new eye, even if you could get it in place, you might ending causing worse shit if you touching nerves like that.

Oh yeah, I guess Golden Age, Lost Children and Conviction Guts was just a shitty edgelord. While Millenium Falcon "I'll spout my oneliner and kill the baddies" Guts is a much better character.

Just kill yourself. There's far less substance in how current Guts "cares for" his comrades than any little interaction he had with the band of the hawk, Jill, Puck, or Rickert.

I wish the edgelord faggots that say stuff like " Berserk was better before etc..." would just go listen to some shitty Metal and shut the fuck up. We get it! You want Berserk to go back to before the Golden Age, when Guts was just a non-descript "Bad Ass" who ducked demon ladies the blew their heads off, didn't care about anything except killing Apostles and stealing their Behelits, because... Who knows...? We understand that you're all eternally twelve and overly dark and edgy stories make you feel like a grown up but, for the rest of us, it just gets boring after awhile. Why do you think Blaster Knuckle ended after like 20 chapters? Miura needed something to freshen up Berserk and Guts' D&D party did just the trick, hence the fact that it's still as popular as it is despite taking several year long hiatuses during its serialization.

tl;dr Schreike isn't the worst thing to happen to Berserk, whiny fedora-wearing edgelords are.

Except D&D party is a bad way to spice up things as opposed to, say, Golden Age intrigues (Griffith roflstomping everyone with magic doesn't compare), or Guts not being as heartless or "edgy" as haremshitters try to make it look like. Apostle hunting Guts is a compelling character.

I think that Berserk Lost Children Arc & The Count Fight parts was best berserk.
Dark when it needs to be, but that the characers were still... characters, they were people with emotions reacting to the world.
Before Golden age didn't have enough character, and was just edgy people in an edgy world
Now it's characters being with characters discussing and experiencing feelngs about nothing else.
Both aren't good.

Apostle hunting Guts had nowhere to go. The ones he wanted revenge against are literally the basic concept of Cosmic Horror. You can't just stab that with a sword, no matter how big. At least now Guts has magical back up and he's more than just drifter swordsman going "Where is X!?" We have enough of those in Manga and Anime already.
>>
>>147030475
That's part of what makes him compelling though. He's fighting a hopeless battle and he knows it, yet goes with the flow and finds a way to succeed against all odds. That's the struggler. That's a Berserk. Now he's just a guy who travels with a bunch of annoying friends and swings his sword to kill fodders you don't give a shit about

Nothing wrong with Conviction Guts. Although just having him be Caska's protector isn't the best choice as it makes him a very static character with no room for development as long as she remains unchanged. Basically he didn't change for 10 vols and he's getting really uninteresting.

>>147030700
Pre magical bullshit Guts is good. It doesn't have to be just him wanting to hunt Apostles, although this part of him (or something similar) certainly could be good to bring back.
Black Swordsman arc has a lot of interesting parts. I disagree.
>>
>>147030890
To clarify : BS arc is still a lot weaker than something like Conviction, but the bashing it gets for a few OOC scenes is disproportionate. i.e. the sadGuts panel or Guts taking Theresia hostage are both interesting and character building.

Except he was a "loner with edge" (really not, but let's simplify it like that) for good reasons and his change was well implemented, with a bunch of themes working in favor of it. Then the Eclipse made him hellbent on revenge (and not going back to an initial state as you simplified) for others very good reasons, yet the new change is devoid of substance or anything compelling. If anything, Guts was way worse than he was as a kid AND has less reasons to go back to being chill (just hanging around a hypocrite, some dumb girl and shitty comical reliefs is just meaningless compared to Guts' interactions with the hawks)

No /v/, you are talking out of your ass like always. All you do is pretend it was better before based on nothing and you can't back it up.

What kind of one-sided relationship does he have with the nakamas outside of Casca, Schierke and maybe Farnese? Serpico would kill him without batting an eye, Isidro is comic relief (he had one serious moment but this is drowned in a sea of shit), Puck became a memespouter despite him being great in LC.

Hawks played their role well. They fit into well-defined themes which set Guts' whole character in motion.

It hurts tbqhwyfamily. My biggest problem with the D&D party isn't that it's too light hearted or JRPGish, but that there's now so little focus on the individual characters. Farnesse and Serpico were amongst my favourite characters before and during Vritannis, but now they're nothing. I get that with so many characters Miura can't just focus on one or two of them, but it doesn't feel like the focus switches between characters - it just feels like everyone is going underrepresented.

I miss Puck playing Shierke's current role as the foil to Guts' rage. Puck and Shierke should be good friends, bonded in their worry for Guts' welfare, but instead Puck just fucks around and the closest he comes to interacting with Shierke is getting told off by her elf who we know fucking nothing about and doesn't do anything ever.

Azan's inclusion in the current JRPG party is just a massive fucking 'why?' If it's fan service then it's the shittiest fan service of all. Azan's always been goofy but there was a time when he was a competent, strong and kind hearted knight. Now he's just an almost silent background character who adds nothing to the party, and Farnesse and Serpico's complete lack of interaction with him (or even reaction to his reappearance) just feels like a pisstake. I honestly think it would have been better if he was with Rickert's party or one of the other groups of secondary characters, where he could actually be doing some good and sticking out as his own character as opposed to just being dead weight on Guts' team.

I'm unsure about this.
In what way did he mean it?

Was he angry that Guts made him forget it, and thats why he said the phrase?

Or did he think this longingly, and that he would've been content to forget his dream if it meant to remain his friend if he wasn't fucked up by the torture or something?

Or something else entirely?
>>
>>147034259
And his lips.
>>
>>147034275
Throughout his year of torture, the thought of Guts kept him sane. He realized in that moment before saying yes that Guts was the only thing holding him back, because he made him forget his dream.
Guts had to die so his ambition could continue with 0 distraction.
>>
>>147034259
I fucking love Voids design. Those arms and that cape makes him so otherworldly and intimidating
>>
>>147034275
I think it's about the fact that his obsession over Guts made him screw up everything right about when things started to go right. When Guts left he couldn't let go of his feelings towards Guts, which were fairly more twisted than a simple friendship in my opinion. By allowing himself to get screwed over by rushing things when in a state of clear confusion and emotional distress, he probably realized just how much he cared about Guts all things considered.

>The last arc was mostly about Schierke, Isidro and Isma
Yeah, you're not wrong actually. It was wrong of me to say that there hasn't really been a focus since Vritanis. I still feel like the arc didn't do nearly as much for Schierke and Isidro as Vrtianis did for Farnesse and Serpico, but maybe I'm wrong and I just didn't really enjoy the arc for other reasons. I do find it practically impossible to give a shit about Isma though, even if she's mildly interesting in concept.

>>147035117 talks the truth. We've had little bits of Isidro development here and there which were actually good, despite him being a kind of weak character mosto f the time, but I still feel like he's sorely lacking and could do with a much more emotional arc where he's forced to face whatever background he comes from, or where his big shonen personality is shaken by some sort of event and he's forced to have a bit of self-relection.

>>147035193
He adds legitimacy to Griffith's rule. Griffith is the messiah so he probably doesn't really need him, but it can't hurt to have all of Midland's old nobility supporting you too.

>>147035383
I honestly think I might too. Berserk is fucking good and I'm sure there's great moments I've forgotten because it's been so long.
>>
>>147035360
That's because he's not planning to destroy Falconia. He's planning to destroy everything outside of it.
>>
>>147035117
I think Isidro just ran away from a perfectly fine village.
>>
>>147035360
>It's still hard for me to imagine Griffith building up Falconia to what it is for the sake of burning it down.

He was a dick though.
How did Guts manage to deal with him?
>>
There are too many battles in Berserk. Griffith's parts are much better because they aren't all about fighting.

The last chapters with characters development for Guts' group were at the end of Millennium Falcon arc. Since then they've been constantly fighting with shitty random enemies.
>>
>>147035974
Gut has his sword right next to him and is also looking away from the group, forshadowing his leaving of the band. Judeau is playing music and being that anchor of the group. Casca is looking towards Griffith, her desire at the time. Everyone who died during the Eclipse is looking towards the fire, symbolizing them all going to hell :c. This picture also all ties into the campfires speech that Guts gave to Casca. Everyone in the Band of the Hawks has their own dreams represented by the campfires in their campsite and when looked down on from a hill it shows a greater glow which was Griffith's dream.

This is the kind of picture you would see in a museum.
>>
>>147036169
He secretly like Guts, he just didn't want to admit it. He shows this when Guts' sword breaks against Boscogn, and when he's fighting Wyald.

Guts probably liked/appreciated Corkus as well, mostly because he kept Guts grounded in reality and told hard truths. Like when he returns to the Band.

He's a good character, a dick on the surface, and a subtly deep character.

I don't think Griffith started out evil. He was very complex pre-Eclipse, and it's hard to always get a feel on how he viewed those who followed him.

Then Guts came along and threw everything into question. His world fell apart, and it was because he allowed himself to love someone.
