>Schierkes' ass was the best thing to happen to Berserk.
ftfy
>>147009158
No, Idolm@ster was.
>>147009304
Schierke is the prime example of Idolm@ster's influence.
>>147009258
This desu
Farnese, Serpico and Isidro were worse. They actually added nothing from Lost Children to the forest, where Schierke's arc actually equipped Serpico so he could be useful
>>147009158
>Schierke
>not chestnut moe cancer Puck
>>147009158
Isma is worst.
>>147009796
kys
>>147009158
Explain.
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.
>berserkfags are still delusional that their manga will be good again just "after this arc"
It's just sad looking at them. Enjoying boring shonenshit for 15 years and hoping for things to get better.
>>147009158
She is cute, but I think Guts and Farnese should be together
>>147009419
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.
>>147009867
I hope your favorite manga turns to shit too anon
>>147009857
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.
Plus it looks cool.
The worst thing is chibi shit faces
>>147010086
The worst thing is drawing Puck too often in his chibi form. Complete overkill.
This

Schierke's ass was the best thing to happen to Berserk.
>>147009959
Why would you care about relationships in berserk?You are either a woman or retard.
Why did they have to form a party? Like,couldn't they just introduce the characters as Guts,Puck and Casca head to Skellig? I hate how all these people are travelling with Guts,it ruins his character.
>>147010664
The page that killed Berserk forever.
>>147009959
>>147010664
>>147010817
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.
>>147010929
>Why did they have to form a party?
This new party is gut's new band of the hawk comrade replacements.
>ruins his character
he was edgelord in the begging when he was alone then he turned soft when he found comrades, he turned edgelord after losing his comrades and now he's soft again after fining new comrades
what's so surprising about this?
>muh edgelord
so what happen to guts right eye?
>>147011016
>Worst thing to happen to Berserk
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.
>>147011465
I come here to complain about how shit it has become.
>>147011465
i'm a bit drugged up on pain killers, apologies for the typos, but this should be readable
>>147011372
Demon stabbed it.
>>147011503
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.
>>147011503
I'm not sure how you can say this when the latest chapter has Guts meet the Fairy king which marks the end of his current journey.
>>147009158
Correct.
>>147009158
Yes.
>>147009258
>t. paedophile
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.
>>147010370
When will we have human-sized elf shotas?
The only way Berserk can be redeemed is if all of the JRPG party get killed and it's just Griffith and Guts.
>>147009158
CG was the worst thing to happen to berserk...and idolmaster
I like Schierke herself, as a character, but to me she signals the point where Berserk started to go downhill for me.
>It's another "I want revenge retard Guts back and hate character development episode"
Getting really tired of this shit. Shierke is a great character
>>147013514
Yeah, not gonna happen. Berserk isn't that kind of manga anymore.
>Berserk was cool until the Golden Age arc ended and all of Guts companions died.
>Berserk sucks because Guts has companions.
Make up your mind.
>>147009158
The Berserk armor was the worst thing to happen
Hmmm, I'm a little confused...
So is Griffith the last God hand?
There wouldn't be any need to create another one, right?
I mean it makes up a total of 5 fingers, y'know
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.
>>147012983
>wasted his time drawing backgrounds
i respect that you have a preference but fuck you for not appreciating the art of these comics
Its sad how the only times you're really reminded of how young he is are the few moments that he really laughs. We've had him at his most monstrous in Lost Children, its good to see him clawing back some kind of life even with the Beast of Darkness ready and waiting to take over and send him right back.
and my dick was the best thing to happen to your mom
Berserk will end with Guts is introduced as the new producer.
>>147014691
>comics
>>147014714
That's true man, I kept thinking guts is 35 when he's only 23
Anime screws my sense of age
>>147009158
I can't say I liked her addition, but chestnut Puck is 100000x worse
I want to see adult Schierke
>>147014781
you heard me faggot
>>147014676
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.
>>147014793

>Arrows easily penetrate armor
>>147015024
Isma was the best thing to happen to Berserk since the boat.
Prove i'm wrong.
>>147014793
Miura's drawing guts much older. His hair turning white doesn't help either.
>>147014575
The problem is that Schierke, Serpico, the fairies, and the sailor guy are the only good companions.
>>147016657
The unholy armor doesn't help his situation either
When's the next chapter coming out? Or is is on hold again for the nth time?
>>147016832
Late September I think the note at the end of this one said.
>>147015084
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.
>My face when all the girls have huge bushes
>>147011016
>We haven't had a single good chapter in over 7 years.
how can you not like this?
>>147009158
Shierke is honestly my favorite Berserk character along with Guts. I don't agree with your opinion, I think the RPG party has been fun and I hope they don't all die.
>>147011016
>We haven't had a single good chapter in over 7 years.
>hating the rickert arc
>>147011016
We got Griffith being slapped like the little bitch he is. That was nice.
>>147017166
But Conviction was better than Golden Age.
>>147017934
I disagree, but I said good things about both, so why argue?
>>147017934
Hilarious
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.
>>147009158
Puck.
>>147017166
I swear Golden Age attracts the worst kind of people
>>147018868
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.
>>147009158
>Casca not dying was the worst thing to happen to Berserk.
Fixed that for you.
>>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
>>147018831
Not the same guy so I don't know if he was reffering to a specific event.
But pretty much all soldiers in the comic wear plate and we nearly never see it protecting against anything.
>>147019719
the only time i remember arrows being a big deal was in the band's betrayal, when they wore only clothes.
how close are we to seeing a non retarded casca?
>>147019951
seeing as it's basically an rpg now, they'll probably have to farm some ingredients for the magic concoction first
>>147019951
I would say either with in a year or possibly never.
>>147020048
>now
>>147019837
Approach it from the other direction.
We see soldiers fight and die by the bucketload all the time. How often do we see their armor protect againt anything?

>>147011817
>After that, he's just been doing it chapter to chapter.
Nigger he draws a chapter once a every 5 years, I think he's had fucking enough time to think about the story.
>>147020927
Schierke
>>147016700
>Schierke
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.
>>147009959
Guts is the ultimate Cascafag, anon. The poor anime onlys who decided to start with the CLANG have just seen him sacrifice hundreds to thousands of smelly refugees for a single brown qt incapable of giving a shit about anything.
>>147020927
most of the party right now is full of complete nothing characters that only exist to make some kind of funny quip or get into wacky situations, we've been like this for 7 years now
at least 50% of them need to fuck off, a lot of the kids need to go too

I like Serpico, it helps that he's one of the only(if not the only) real characters outside of Guts in the JRPG party.
>>147021625
>Farnie
>not a real character
I like Schierke she's one of my favorite characters.
Also I like how the story is progressing, we went from a realistic historical setting, to low fantasy, and now to full high fantasy setting.
Fight me.
>>147010817
I liked Schierke, I really did.
This scene killed that. It was the single most unnecessary panel in the entire manga.
>>147021625
So "real characters" for you are characters that can fight? Farnese, Isidro and Schierke are as real, if not more, as Serpico.

The fact that most people on here can't actually talk about Schierke without constantly posting her ass or calling her "cute" gives you a general idea of the kind of people she appeals to
>>147021953
Fuck off, being "cute" isn't a bad thing. I think she's cute, like a puppy is cute.
You faggots are paranoid

Where did I say that?
>>147021906
Not even that guy, but this page was pretty terrible. I don't think it killed Schierke's character or the manga, but it was quite unnecessary. It's pure cliche harem-like fanservice.
>>147021953

>>good character
Does she even have a character outside of being cute?
>>good personality
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.
>>147021937
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.
>>147019581
>weaker now without the armor because it physically fucks him up so much
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.
>>147022219
Sounds like you just hate fun anon. And there's nothing wrong with liking her being a loli, it's no different from liking any other characters design. It's not the only thing I like about her anyways so your argument is shit. Also, there's LITERALLY nothing wrong with fanservice.
>>147022219
>Does she even have a character outside of being cute?
Are you serious? Her entire arc in Vritanis.
>>147021953
There is nothing wrong with liking her because she's cute or liking her ass. I mean, look at it. Even the author knows that her butt is top tier.
>>147022287
>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 don't think that will ever happen. What would be the point? Like you said it would only regress Guts' character
>>147022287
How off base do you think she'll be written since it's been over a decade since Miura has written Casca not retarded?
>>147022219
>it's the fact that she gets all flustered and burns Guts after that.
What's wrong with that. She's also not a "deus ex machina", everything she does is well established
>>147022425
The point would be that what casca will want when she is healed probably isnt what guts wants
>>147022219
>a snob semi-tsundere
But that's not Scheirke.
>>147022355
>there's nothing wrong with liking her being a loli, it's no different from liking any other characters design

the only people who would get a persecution complex out of thinking that a drawn child looks cool are actual pedophiles trying to keep their issues under control (which is the better alternative in their hand and I respect them for restraining their desires)
>>147022484

JUST DO IT FINALLY PLEASE
>>147022531
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.
>>147022638
Fuck off edgelord.
>>147022616
theres been plenty of foreshadowing for that too
>>147022747
>>147022780
That's actually a good thing. Them just going back to their Golden Age ways would be stupid.
But I expect at least one healing love making scene. Make it happen Miura
>>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 interestingif 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.

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.
>>147023720
Do you have the reading comprehension of a child?

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.
>>147024782
And Guts' spine would've snapped from the Goat apostle spawn if not for Godos armor.
And Guts uses his gauntlets several times to block/attack more efficiently with his sword, something you very rarely see other places
So, do we all agree this is the edgiest thing?
>>147011016

It was his own gibberish using elements of I think English, Latin, German, Japanese, Thai and probably some others, was a while ago that I read the interview. The "official" lyrics are fucking weird since he just okayed a fan's... attempt(?) that amused him. It starts with
"(`Д´) ワージッ! パーパパパパパッパパッパパー" and doesn't really get any better.

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. Go listen to Guts' theme from the 90's series then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH0AnOlkB4o

Would the armies of the world be able to take down Shiva without Griffith's help?

Probably not but I'm going to hazard a guess and say that Shiva wasn't going to have a long lifespan even if Griffith didn't have SK slash him open
>>147026550
If they could get Guts to help out, yes.
Without Guts, Griffith or Skull Knight, no.

>>147020927

It'll happen when Rickert is away, just like the Eclipse.
>>147027351
Its only really Femto he's after though. SK is gunning for Void, and honestly I think its more likely Griffith'll be the one to go for Slan, Ubik and Conrad as he vies for more and more power.
>>147027351
>I just want to see those smug motherfuckers get BTFO.
Fuck yeah. Even just watching Rickert bitch slap the taste out of Griffith's mouth was satisfying as hell. It's so nice when smug little cunts get what's coming to them. Kinda like watching Ronda Rousey get headkicked by Holly Holm. Orgasmic.

>>147027721
The concept of it all was dark but the characters kind of handled it in a light hearted tone.
>>147025129
Thanks to the inclusion of Schierke, Puck's role of being the "un-edger" for Guts is gone. Puck's character feels so weak in the later chapters.
>>147027484
I mean, its implied Griffith allowed it to happen.
>>147027894
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.

>>147028742
He has another one. Just pull off pieces, heal it, dump the scraps in the other side, and heal it all up. It's not rocket surgeryalthough maybe in this case it is.
>>147028054
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
>>147014575
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.
>>147009158
Rickert is cute.
CUTE!
And the Tapasa are pretty enjoyable as well
>>147029155
Well, most are guessing that a time skip will happen the moment the gang leaves Elf Island, so maybe Rickert made a revolutionary group by now.

>edgelord
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.
>>147009158
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.
>>147029366
How are those guys even human? They don't have eyeballs.

>>147029201
Guts sadly became as boring as Venom Snake
>>147029819
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.
>>147029859
we dont know for certain. there are lots of things we dont fully understand, such as why we sleep, how knock-out works and so on

Nobody said 100%. But we just got like 6 vols of 40% funny jrpg shenanigans 40% Griffith cocksucking and 20% interesting stuff and developments.
>>147029819
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.
>>147030274
It takes a lot of easy going to make a good drop.This is of course sheer delusion because Berserk will go full Barney's Playhouse
>>147029716
Wonder if we'll see the return of Jill, especially considering that time'll be flowing differently away from Guts and friends so she might be a bit older.
>>147030268
I love Farnese. Great character.
The only character I dislike is Ivalera. I like Shierke, she's great, but I don't like the shitty elf whose only purpose is to say "Shierke is great"
>>147030417
Not sure, she kinda fullfilled her role so there would be little to no point unless Miura has a good idea
>>147030051
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
>>147030051
"Apostle hunting Guts" is maybe 10% of the series and character so far
>>147030618
This panel alone is more interesting than the Black Swordsman arc. Fuck off.
>>147030731
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)

Including but not limited to Casca and Griffith. I'm also talking about plot and introspection.

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.

Farnese is great. Only shonentards who think she is useless because she's not a fighter dislike her, despite Miura going out of his way several times to show they are wrong, but ignorance can't be cured.
>>147020927
Either Farnese or rape horse
>>147032474
>tfw Guts looks like fucking Batman when the lower jaw of the wolf helmet isn't up.
Just gimme the skull
Don't know why people liked the Band of the Falcon so much. They were a bunch of useless fucks who needed Guts to kill half the army and/or the enemy General by himself.

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.
>>147020927
>>147020927
Honestly i'm amazed that Miura has created so many enjoyable characters. I legit can't pick one.
Skull Knight and Zodd are among them, Laban and Owen as well. Silat doesn't get enough love.
>>147032984
I gotta agree, Schierke's elf friend (who's name I can't even remember) is useless.
>>147032599
Rosine must have had the second highest kill count with Ganishka having the highest. There was just so much death and murder in that arc.
>>147032913
This doujin is shamefully arousing to me.
>>147033071
That's the only part of this shitpost that is accurate. How fucking ignorant do you have to be to not realize Azan is there to witness the truth and voice it later.
>>147033072
Rosine was really goddamn powerful.
Her speed has yet to be matched.
>>147033018
>Laban and Owen
My nigga. I feel relieved whenever we see these two are still alive and well.
>>147033167
S-she's fast!
>>147032944
I'm not the only one that hopes Casca throws herself off a cliff or something once she comes to, right?
>>147033244
The scene between Owen and Guts is one of the best.
>>147033284
Not gonna happen, unless Miura has been aiming to specifically subvert everyone's expectations. I actually like Caska, she was a really fucking good and complicated character before the Eclipse.
I'd rather someone else got fucked over or remained in Elfheim.
>>147033361
Oh, I'm not expecting it. I'm just sick of her at this point.
I liked her before the eclipse, everything after that though?
>>147033422
That's her point past the Eclipse though, to be a bumbling retard that both reminds Guts how much Griffith fucked them over and is there to be protected.
>>147033485
I'm aware, doesn't mean I have to appreciate it.
Her uselessness inadvertently brought together some good characters, so fuck it.
So what will happen with Casca
1. She will remember everything while retarded and try to have everyone be friends
2. Casca tries to kill Guts. Ends up committing suicide
3. Casca ends up with Griffith living out her dream from before the eclipse
4. Guts rapes her and keeps her captive
>>147033573
Probably go find Griffith, if Griffith doesn't come find her.
>>147033573
She's going to be healed completely and join Guts' jRPG party.
Will recovering Cascas mind include the removal of the brand?
Or will she become herself and live in the same circumstances as Guts?
Do you think it's even possible to remove the brand?
>>147033742
Void might be able to reverse the branding. Not that he will.
>>147033742
>Do you think it's even possible to remove the brand?
Yeah. Flora mentioned it could be done I think
>>147030177

>So The Holy See is almost definitly praying to the Godhand/Idea of Evil, right?
Yeah. And the Pagans are worshipping various God Hand.
>>147034082
His face looked weird here.
Can the new party like get drunk together or something? They never seem to have any fun aside from ishidro and puck gags and maybe guts laughing a bit would make people care about the party more.
>>147031843
Another one. God that whole part was so fucking good.
>>147034215
I think it's the nose.
>>147034215
Its the shading on the nose.
>>147034042
>>147034082
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.
>>147034345
What this guys is saying makes a lot of sense too.I don't know, I've never had a reread of it, maybe this just means the time has come

Sure, just let me grab my "conversation starter".
>>147034538
Hot glued Slan when?
>>147033573
I hope she remembers everything and hates Griffith for what he did to her and Guts and has a sick kaz miller revenge speech.
>>147030417
>>147030471
we'll see her return. This is kind of the end of the story, and Falconia is where characters are returning.
I wonder if she'll interact with Teresia.
>>147009742
Farnese has one of the most fleshed out character arcs in the series.
>>147009785
>>147013300
Agreed. The first arc was fine, but Puck's lost any characterization beyond comic relief.
>>147033167
Fast but weak. She got killed in two stabs. Other Apostles like the Count survied decapitation for like an hour before finally dying.
>>147034708
She's well fleshed out but I can't bring myself to give a single fuck about her. If she were killed next chapter I wouldn't give a fuck. The reason people cared about band of the hawk was because they'd been through good a bad times together, and had plenty of fun. This party doesn't seem to have any fun.
>>147034744
Puck was fine up until Isidro showed up. That's when he went full comic relief.
Lost Children Puck was a nice balance
>>147034808
The Count did have really good regeneration going for him.
>>147034522
That nigga is inhumanly big. Look at his head. He coult fit Farness's entire head in his mouth.
>>147034637
>Griffith sent us to hell but we're going even deeper
>rubbing our noses in bloody falconia dirt, all for revenge.
>>147032984
>but that there's now so little focus on the individual characters
The last arc was mostly about Schierke, Isidro and Isma. Vritanis was about Farnese and Serpico. I can only agree with you about Azan.
>>147032944
>artstyle seriously worsened after Falconia
Read better scans.
>>147009742
I find it odd that they never went more into Isidro's backstory. Was he a war orphan? Dd he run away from an abusive home?
It's like they can't risk him ever being too serious, so they don't go beyond his shonen swordsman dream.
>>147033142
another berserk doujin by the same artist
I don't mind Schierke because her character is okay and it allowed the Berserker armor to be introduced. I don't like how inconsistent and frequently bullshit magic is though.
>>147035117
Has that kid played any part in Griffith's plan yet?
>>147035181
Has it been translated yet?
>>147035117
>Sonia and Mule are destined to die
>>147035193
Mule? He helped recruit the pope.
>>147035240
I can't wait to see Sonia die. Mule not so much.
>>147035240
Too bad for Mule, but fuck Sonia, she deserves it.
Trust in the Hellhound, he will make Berserk great again now that he is beyond control
>>147035240
It's still hard for me to imagine Griffith building up Falconia to what it is for the sake of burning it down.
I still imagine there being a dramatic reveal of Femto at some point though.
>>147035221
sadly not
>>147035307
>>147035294
I don't get why she gets so much hate.
She hasn't done anything.
Are you Charlotte, and just jealous that senpai is noticing her?
>>147035117
I remember somewhere it said he decided to just fuck off from his home and took the sword with him.

Sonia is a dumb naive girl following Griffith because he saved her. Like Casca.
Pretty sure we're going to see a Sonia x Schierke and Mule x Isidro show down. They're basically each other's mirrors.
>>147009867
>shounenshit
what pray tell do you even read?
nothing? how does it feel to be a shitposting neural network? bad?

>>147035117
We know enough about his backstory. He ran away from his home to become a great swordsman.
>>147035187
There is nothing inconsistent about magic in Berserk.
>>147035294
>>147035307
I like Sonia...
She just needs a wakeup call about Griffith.
>>147035052
>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.
Something something greater ambition, something something "I sacrifice"
So if the impossibility that Griffith has no sinister plans left comes true, would the band of the hawk be an acceptable loss?
I miss old Griffith
Why'd he have to go evil?
>>147035557
Griffith kind of irreversibly fucked the world up so I'd say no.
>>147035466
I don't. She's probably one of the only characters I found legitimately annoying and I hope that she gets killed. She might get better later on but I doubt it.
>>147035592
He was always evil
>>147035480
>or where his big shonen personality is shaken by some sort of event and he's forced to have a bit of self-relection
That already happened in Millennium Falcon. After the fight with trolls he realized he was completely useless.
>>147034868
>This party doesn't seem to have any fun.
I wouldn't mind exploring the different character dynamics a bit more. Feels like Isidro's hardly talked to Farnese and Serpico. And Ivalera hasn't interacted with the group beyond snarky background commentary.
>>147035663
Wow, you can really gleam a lot from this picture. Well fucking done Miura.
>>147011503
Guts is getting boring too.
Not liking Mellow Guts, he's losing his personality like Ichigo lost his personality midway through Bleach.
>>147035557
His plan is to completely connect the worlds and make Falconia the only country in the world.
>>147035674
I guess I'm just a fuckwit who needs to reread the whole thing instead of trying to sound smart based off of hazy memories then.
Regardless I still do not like Isidro and Puck's current role as walking memes, and feel that at present most of the party is sorely lacking character.
>>147035721
Just give me the Guts Casca interactions back.. Put them in the spotlight again.
>tfw you realize the one who defied causality at Albion was not Guts but Isidro
>>147035708
I love how its from Rickert's prespective. Guts is front and center, and Griffith is faceless, far away.
Its really well done.
>>147035663
I miss Corkus.
>>147035974
Miura is a damn good artist.
>>147036074
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.
>>147036169
He was the cynical counterpoint to the romanticized ideas that ended up ruining Guts's life.
>>147032187
Book 23 I think she shows up.
>>147036103
This arc is the main reason why people complain about Berserk. It was way too long for something that was essentially a filler.
308-328 - 20 chapters + hiatuses
>>147036408
I think Corkus was only angry at Guts for leaving because he was brave enough to do it. Brave enough to try and find his own dream instead of riding the coattails of another.
>>147036525
>>147036408
>>147036169
Reminder:
Guts killed several Band memebers, and friends of Corkus when he first showed up. Imagine a guy you known at work for 6 years, every day. Great guy. Then some guy kills him. And then yoru boss says you have to now work with this guy forever and you have to like him.
>>147036408
>This fucking page
I can't believe I didn't fucking remember this. Corkus unintentionally laying down the truth that Griffith is, at heart, idiotic and grounded in fantasy.
>>147036585
But said guy killed him in self defense because you decided to rob him.
>>147035942
I don't get it.
>>147036606
Everybody glances over him. He's the most subtly well written character in the manga >>147036367
>>147036525
Maybe. But I think Corkus was angry that Guts never gave a damn about anything they had achieved. Like the Fall Hunt, it was supposed to be this big honor after all the years of risking their lives in battle, but fighting is all that Guts had ever known.
>>147025325

>>147036585
He killed one guy and maimed another
>>147036672
I would have loved if Corkus had somehow survived the Eclipse as well. The new group lacks an angry voice of reason.
>>147035663
Was he though? I remember it used to be a daily troll thread about 'Griffin Did Nothing Wrong.' At the time, I never read Berserk but was aware of the major events in it so I thought it was trolling but now that's read it, I kind of see it. He's ambitious. Everyone could see that he would do anything to achieve his dreams. Everyone was expendable. They just were riding the good times.
>>147036809
Someday...
>>147020927
I really want a flashback chapter to when Skull Knight was going full Berserk with his sword.
>>147036952
And then he raped Casca because he was a petty bitch
>>147036978
You know what the new anime looks like?Transformers: Energon
>>147037057
Nah, he was just thinking ahead. That rape is what lead to him being reborn into the world.
>>147020927
At the risk of sounding boring, Guts.
>>147036952
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.
>>147037119
I think that's a given for almost everyone who likes Berserk
>>147037081
>>147037181
Griffith literally tells Guts "This is the kind of man i am. You of all people should have known".
That, and Rickerts realization makes it pretty clear that Griffith was always evil.
R I P my nigga Judeau
>>147020927
>>147023600
i thought his pelvis armor on the right was his erect cock. i-it wouldn't be far fetched.
>>147037362
But he was still human. The death of the child under his command shook him. He valued Casca and Guts for what it was worth. He had emotions beyond achieving his ambition, but he snuffed them out when he became Femto.
>>147037465
Of the Band of the Hawk, him dying hurt me the most.
>>147020927
Serpico and Judeau are my favorites.
