@@edwardgaines6561 we shouldn't say that when there's only 3 short chapters to go off of. There's a whole arc of possible casca vs bad guy action. Facing Griffith might get her passed the trauma. Who knows.
Guts didnt pop the Berserker Armor. He is furious. But he's in control. And it is a righteous fury. Hes not doing this out of a grudge anymore. Now he HAS to kill Griffith to protect Casca. Guts is in control. And I think thats going to make him more dangerous than ever.
Thank you very much for posting this, at first I was a bit confused because Rage is just mindless Rage most of the time. I was going to complain about how his character development got a bit ruined, since we spent so many years and chapters showing us how he learned to control and accept himself. But the way you phrased it makes a lot more sense
@Stalwart Garnet perhaps because he is the embodiment of malice. For Guts to kill him he has to use human number one trait, perseverance. Through that reasoning>evil. If Guts manages to kill him without the armor it would show that he is truly a struggler in every concept, for the person he hates the most would have to be killed by being a tamed dog.
Can you imagine how everyone would have reacted if Miura had lived just a few months longer and the last panel he ever drew was Griffith smugly carrying Casca away? Probably would have been the hissy fit of the century...

Maybe this is childish to say as a 28 year old man. But Griffith horrifies me now. When he’s on screen. It’s horrifying. He’s an evil god who’s messing with humans. I know it’s not real. But when I saw him holding passed out Casca and he was holding her hand up to his, making it look like she wants it, to Guts. The awe of his powers are horrifying. I felt nauseous watching him hold her. This is the best story ever told. For the past 10 years or so I’ve been reading everything I could get my hands on. I’ve always loved loved loved stories. This is the best one ever. Griffith is the best villain of all time and Guts is the best protagonist of all time. Jesus Christ I feel so lucky to have found this.
That was absolutely Miura's intention and very much something he would do. He was building up for the abduction as well as the island's destruction since the Millennium Falcon arc at least. The execution would've been better and more elaborated but the story within these last few chapters is according to his long term plans. The story will have to reach its conclusion in Falconia, so naturally an abduction scenario was always a strong possibility especially based on the hints left throughout recent arcs.
I thought the execution of this stretch was pretty good tbh, the pacing is on point, Miura definitely would have taken things more slowly but it doesn't make this rushed. 365-367 look like what Miura was exactly planning to do after where things ended on Chapter 364 with the big reveal Its definitely something Miura was going to do, and serves as a perfect example that Mori and Studio Gaga have a clear direction to where they are going, and that direction is faithful to Miura's intentions.
@@deuce5546 Yea. By "execution" i meant in terms of art, not the story or its pace. We would've had perhaps more dialogue, and more perfected panels at the level that only Miura can achieve. They've done a very good work so far and for me personally, the story is what matters the most at this point.
Since Mori said he'd avoid filling in blanks and just stick to what Miura had shared with him I think we can only expect more of that "missing touch" vibe. Not necessarily in a bad way but this all played out very much like the story without the small details. "So Guts and Zodd are fighting and Griffith starts walking towards Casca. While all this is happening, the rest of the group don't know and suddenly, an ill omen is felt. Guts is barely keeping up with Zodd but sees what Griffit is doing, so he gets past Zodd to get at Griffith, but it's too late. Griffith takes Casca from the girls and Guts' attack is stopped" Like, it's the broad lines without going into detail. The keyframes without having fleshed out all the inbetween yet. It fits what I imagined when Mori said his intentions would be to only stick to what Miura had told him.
Yeah, the true and final utopia was lay wasted by the false utopia. Now the only potential safe zone that's not within Griffith's grasp is the Bakiraka's fortress. I hope Miura told them enough about Silat and Rickert's arc, and how Guts and company will intertwine with them at some point, possibly to come together and face Griffith's new found kingdom. I really hope they take their time (as much as they can) and work out the details and keep up with, so far, an outstanding job of the art work.
God I can’t wait to see Griffith die, there’s so many badass battles and scenes to come. Something that will have to come up though, is Guts seems like he needs a real power up. Cause in his current state he can fight what a couple apostles before he’s taken to much damage and needs to recover. He needs like an injection of magic or something to keep him going.
I don't think Griffith will die, but rather he would have something taken away from him or something that he would have always wanted denied. The godhand can see the flow of time and Guts is only capable of changing the details of the events that will happen.
guts main object is destroyed the idea of evil, using benelith to trav.into astral realm, when the idea of all evil defeated all god hand revert to their origin form leaving griffith with his skinny weakest human body knowing griffith wont worth to kill guts leaves him alone
I think it’s a mixture of Zodd being fast, Guts vision going (as we saw with the apple during practice) and these artists finding practicing the style Muira did so effortlessly
The first arc had an Apostle who refused to condemn his daughter to Hell, and allowed himself to be condemned instead. The final arc will likely feature a similar parallel with Guts and the Moon Boy, though I hope Guts’ friends will unite to save him. Unlike the Apostle, Guts hadn’t forsaken his closest relationship beforehand.
As much as guts hates Griffith he's no fool. In the last chapter we see the dragonslayer go straight through Griffith so if he went through with the attack he would have severely injured casca in the process.
True, but it also cut off a single lock of hair from Griffith, which shows that Guts is closing the gap that currently exists between him and the Godhead members.
Not gonna lie, seeing Griffith hold Casca like that made me nearly go feral. Mouri and Co. Really are doing something right if I can feel that enraged and still honestly say that the story is good.
I don't think it'll be Apostles, I think It'll be the God Hand. They'll utilize the power of Elfhelm to rip there way out of the Earth and come into the "real world". Griffith is also taking Casca to remove his biggest weakness. She'll probably be locked in some room in Griffiths palace
I dont think The God Hand cares that much about a fairy island. It'll probably be apostles. Living beings are so inconsequential to The God Hand. What would they even say or do after showing up?
The God Hand already manifested in the Physical World in chapter 306, after the Great Roar of the Astral World. Reminder that Fantasia is a GLOBAL interstice, it's not just limited to the lands surrounding Falconia. The whole world is overrun by Astral creatures and beings, not just Midland and the neighbouring countries.
I take back what I want as an ending I want Griffith’s head on a pike, I loved that they have brought back the deserved hatred toward Griffith back to the front and center
LMAO I want to revive the ugly ass dude tortured/r*aped him. He was a freaking hero. And Griffith's kingdom becomes his dark stinky dirty cell. That'd be the best ending lol.
looks like Griffith taking Casca was done to keep him from drifting away everytime moonlight boy comes out, which will probably cause Casca to want to eventually stay for moonlight boy.
Hello, I'm new to the berserk fandom, i red it all in 3 days and one sleepless night, this is the first manga i read, and oh ma lawd this is amazing!! I'm hyped to reread it tho since i feel like it's a lot to take in with just one read.
There's one thing to consider throughout this entire chapter, yes this is Griffith but the Moon Child is still fully capable of manipulating Griffiths emotions to make it what kid wants (If you remember Chp 178: Reunion of the Hill of Swords). This is gonna be some insane psychological fight between the two and I cannot wait for how they'll go about this.
Griffith was always in full control, the kids emotions influenced Griffith to act on instinct and save Casca when the rocks were about to hit her, when she was in imminent danger of dying, but everything else was Griffith's own doing and still is. This current situation was planned and calculated by Griffith and he even used the Moonlight transformation to his advantage in order to destroy the island.
Griffith is still my favourite character, such an amazingly written character and the best written villain in my opinion with the best build up in the Golden Arc. That being said, I hope this gives Casca that character development she needs and she does not return to potato mode. Like if she fights back this time considering she does not have her 'security blanket' (our main cast) and rebels against Griffith.
Loved the direction Berserk is taking, quite logic when you think of it. Casca being kidnapped gives Guts a purpose to go for Griffith's head. I would theorize that he will reach for some help (rickert and the bakiraka?).
Yeah I really do dislike Griffith as well but I also understand he has Guts’ and Casca’s child being a part of him so it’s complicated in a way. Him stopping his sword just goes to show he is well aware of what Griffith was doing and didn’t lose himself in his rage. Damn Griffith. He is a menace
SuperEyepatchWolf is a chump, "strangely rooting for Griffith"? In the early days of the Golden Age arc, sure, but right about now, Griffith has deserved his rightful place in Hell. No one true fan of Berserk has ever rooted for Griffith, only Guts. Curse SuperEyepatchWolf and curse Griffith. Anger aside, the story is miur-ish so far, I hope it stays that way. Keeping Miura-san's story intact is first priority, not just the art.
The guts swing and stoping his sword last second is a call back to when ever he fought Griffith and the wind moved the snow and it's also the same shoulder guts was about to hit him at
you didn't mention the ghosts that start to flow in from below on the last page. I think thats the real reason why the ground was destroyed, so that the sanctuary powers of elf helm would be disabled and have a breach for things to get in.
You missed the "shadow spirits" bubbling up at Griffith's feet in the last panel. Also I 100% suspect that if Miura were still alive, they'd be featured more prominently. But Mori is working with what large overarching information he has and his intimate knowledge of Guts and Griffith. We will likely see Serpico, Isidro, Scherke and Farnese be put on the back burner... if they even leave Elfheim at all.
You said “I may make a video specifically talking about the things Berserk’ll need to cover before it ends” Dude please do this!!! I just finished reading Berserk up to its current chapter, 371, and I need someone to organize these thoughts I and so many others have. I love your tone and insights, so I’d love to see it on your channel!
I’m also a sucker for speculation. Like I think it’s possible that Guts acquires a power similar to SK’s behelit blade into his dragon slayer. What will happen to the god hand members? Will they all slowly fall, like the akatsuki in Naruto? Will just Void survive, as he seems to be the only one of the old Godhand (one of which had a similar cloak to Ubik) who survived SK? Will the Godhand manifest itself into some thing or someone? Also more SK vs Godhand lore plsss. Will time have passed so much so outside of Elfhelm so that Rickert and co are older and/or have amassed a greater force (and maybe Rakshas could be a stowaway who joins them, seeing as he’s disloyal to Griffith?)? What will Casca do or say when she awakens in Falconia? Will she be confronted by her memories, will she continue to suppress them, will Griffith successfully brainwash her too? Too much……. Man, I love this series too much.
I think Griffith used his powers. There was nothing stopping Guts from slicing Griffith and avoiding Casca in the process. That's why there was all that dust being kicked up. Griffith probably used The Dragonslayers astral properties to plant his future into Elfhelm like he did with Skullknight's Sword of Actuation strike. He took that dimensional attack into his palm basically and warped reality. I also like to think he warped reality here as well. He not only stopped the Dragonslayer dead in it's tracks, but in a blink of an eye he's not even there, but to the side of the blade while the tip rests on the ground.
Yea the explosive action in these last few chapters is insane, it’s such a massive change from chapter 364 which was probably my favourite chapter ever.
I think the 2 God hand deals came with defects that made Griffith's golden age side come back out in the child. If this wasn't so then Casca and Guts wouldn't be alive.
It could also be that Guts went so berserk that and didn't see near him. So Griffith went to protect them and stopped the sword with his magic. As Guts was pretty much blinded from hate at that fight.
The final page has also some spooky bois appearing at the bottom of the panel, which also seems to support the idea that that's how the demons will invade Elfhelm.
You talked a lot about the "they shall spring forth from the earth" line from Danann but forgot to mention the shadowy figures with glowing eyes emerging from beneath Griffith's feet in the last page 7:00
The story was too peaceful. It was a balm among a nest of thorns. And with Berserk, well, you can always count on something horrible happening to its main characters sooner or later.
From what I've heard there will be 4 more chapters, let's pray that Guts not only kills Griffith but exposes him for what he really is. That'd be the cherry on top of this delicious sundae.
@Noxio Xpert Not sure exactly, but judging from the events in the latest 3 chapters we've been given it sounds like it's pretty close to ending, just not sure when.
I wonder if had guts decided to swing, would griffith had let himself be struck to kill casca cause his immortality and existing with the godhand would keep him alive, thus damming guts or would he have just stopped it, makes me wonder
maybe danan is talking about the wicker men they keep under the island oor perhaps its could be a hole slue of taboo wepons the witches used in there wars that could rain down havok
I had no idea berserk was already continuing since miuras passing....I'm touched! I was looking forward to some kind of Silat redemption arc as soon as he buddied up with Rickert, and was afraid of never seeing how it would play out. Hopefully Griffith doesn't kill him or I'm REALLY gonna hate that little fuck.
If I was guts, I'd be done with this shit man. I'd go on to leave my life killing a few demons that chase me from time to time but I'd be done man. Let Griffith live in his hypocritical bs if he wants to.
I think Zodd is more there to get Griffith and he knows what will happen if he gets too rowdy. Even an immortal god of war has to shiver at the idea of several dozen really pissed off, really fucking powerful witches descending uppon him and one of the god hand.
@@zertsu That was also a dream though, or more likely Zodd was pulled into the Intercise while he was asleep and experienced the conversation like it were a dream.
I mean, he was specifically talking about Griffith for most of Golden Age, and yeah he was weird but I was rooting for him until he got overly possessive of Guts and the Eclipse killed any sympathy I had left.
Griffith was shit back then too, never cheered for him, he used guts as a killer, made a lot of terrible stuffs he was shit already, even making cascka a women fight for her life the first time he meet her was a perrverse way to make her a slave of him.
I still think that while it might be cheesy, they might be able to go out of this with the power of friendship. What I meant by that is several people who were about to throw away their humanity and almost or became apostles to a certain degree are anti-social or at the very least, at the point where the world seems to not care about them. The difference with those mfs to Guts is that Guts slowly but surely built this friendship with the characters he met on his journey, and in my opinion this whole journey to elfheim wouldn't be a waste, as Guts just as like this guy said in the video, might go on a full on war vs griffith and his apostles. Still however I fear that all of this will come at a cost despite how much Guts has changed from being downright cynical and hopeless after the eclipse to this very gentle being who is ready to protect those who are on his side on the journey. Dunno if it will happen but buckle up folks i fear some characters we've known so far will either die in battle or just straight up go out in a blink of an eye just like in the eclipse. To add something else, I'm also curious what's with griffith having this double persona where the world acknowledges his good sides and how he basically created the safehaven that is falconia and in contrast, us and Guts know his true nature. It will be interesting to either see that whether falconia is actually a safehaven or will it uncover its dark side and maybe be used for something else that benefits the god hand. Really think that a calamity with the same scale as the eclipse would turn out differently this time or maybe Guts and co. stops it before it happens. Who knows, I'm just rambling lmfao
What do people think of the plausibility of this supposition/hypothesis on Reddit? "SK is [likely] meant to parallel both Guts and Griffith. It seems to me like Skull Knight is what they would have become were they one person (which goes some distance toward showing why they seem like such a perfect pair and their almost magical attraction to each other (whether that includes sexual attraction or not), and that, in a way, they compliment but, more importantly, contrast each other. Guts, I think, was a bit of a moderating influence on Griffith (often bringing out the best in him, though not always) and, if they had been able to stay together, things might have turned out much better (depending on whether you believe that man truly has no control over his will and fate or that is just the deliverance of unreliable characters and narrators). The second piece to the puzzle, to me, is that Miura has said in interviews that he didn't think that he could have a bad ending for Berserk. This means that either Griffith has to die, be reformed and redeemed, or both (unless there is some good, or at least better, ending that I am not thinking of, which is likely). Third, time and fate seem to be like a spiral, as mentioned several times in the lore, with things happening slightly differently. This means that we should see a character, or two (wink wink), take actions similar to Skull Knight. Both together did pretty well against Zodd, at least in the anime (since I haven't read that part of the manga yet). This leads me to my conclusion. It seems likely that the ending includes either Griffith dying or being redeemed, or both, which might include him either being the Void to Guts' Skull Knight, him becoming like the Skull Knight himself, or him and Guts together fulfilling that role and going against the God Hand. One further musing. If Casca was Griffith's sword, what would Guts have been to Griffith? His armor, perhaps? Perhaps, as the Skull Knight wore the berserker armor, Griffith will, symbolically, wear the Guts armor to defeat the God Hand. First, though, something would have to be done about Femto, probably at least. Wouldn't that be the highest Griffith could reach after subduing the world, to defeat the God Hand? Edit: I wonder if the ostensible separation of the Skull Knight's fate into two, that of Guts and Griffith, could be the key needed to not only kill 4 or 5 God Hand but, also, thwart whatever is beyond them (IoE, if still canon)? I remember some line in the '97 anime, one of the episode end narrations (I think), asking if it is possible that man could escape his fate, or escape the cycle, or something along those lines. Could Guts or Griffith, or both, break the cycle/fate due to their combined abilities, traits, and potential efforts?"
I dont understand why people keep saying things like Griffith was about to die or He would have killed Casca along side Griffith. Did we all not read Chapter 366? There wasnt even a semblance a hint nor a whisper of Guts having a chance at even wounding Griffith. Just because he turned his back doesnt mean it was both him and Casco dead or no one dead at all.
So was it actually Guts who cracked the land by touching the ground with his dragon slayer? We know it has the blood of demons and astral beings almost enough to do damage to God Hand members (build up and Griffith’s cut hair) so did Guts actually doom Elf Helm and Griffith knew he would swing using his rage against him?
I started feeling a strange respect for Griffith when he approved the orphanage and talked about his plans for Falconia. This immediately flipped me right back. This is about the worst thing that could happen , save for one of Guts crew dying
Is it weird for opinion? I think that "Berserk" 's concept is to explain (illustrate) between the wisdom and fool in human. Guts is symbolises as the knowledge one, he know his feel , dream and how adjust between his feel to the world. And Griffith is the one who look like the wisdom one but actually a fool on his dream. He lost himself in the to his dream by misunderstood it. He knew he misunderstood so now he's finding it. Guts has the answer he wanted, the answer that he cannot do or find it. For me as my life experiences similar to Griffith (dream, goal , mental breakdown) I think he has a bit of Alexithymia as me. Alexithymia is very awful, you wanted to feel to have a feeling to connect to the world but cannot do. Griffith's first step before thinking and doing almost everything is thinking care for his family , the band of the hawk and step two, he always wonder why he doesn't feel attach to anything and wanted to have the feeling.
Literally the only issues I’d say these past 3 chapters have had in my eyes is that some of the art looks a lil funky every now and again. Then finally, sometimes the pacing of everything feels a lil off. I know they’ve gone on record to say that they’re pretty much only tackling the story that Miura left but I think that if Miura in the first place gave his blessing and gave Kouji Mori the Berserk storyline, I’d at least like to see Kouji try and bridge events together naturally to maintain a smooth story pace and flow to scenes. The fights feel very choppy which isn’t a big deal to me but I can see it becoming something that will effect the quality of future chapters and Miura’s story very quickly if it isn’t addressed so it’s something I hope at some point gets remedied. I have really REALLY enjoyed these past 3 chapters though and I think the artwork for the most part, although not quite Miura’s style, is still beautiful and feels like Berserk. Alongside the amazing buildup and payoff that Berserk is known for and keeps us reading.

Guts is barely keeping up with Zodd but sees what Griffit is doing, so he gets past Zodd to get at Griffith, but it's too late. Griffith takes Casca from the girls and Guts' attack is stopped"
Like, it's the broad lines without going into detail. The keyframes without having fleshed out all the inbetween yet. It fits what I imagined when Mori said his intentions would be to only stick to what Miura had told him.
Yeah, the true and final utopia was lay wasted by the false utopia. Now the only potential safe zone that's not within Griffith's grasp is the Bakiraka's fortress. I hope Miura told them enough about Silat and Rickert's arc, and how Guts and company will intertwine with them at some point, possibly to come together and face Griffith's new found kingdom. I really hope they take their time (as much as they can) and work out the details and keep up with, so far, an outstanding job of the art work.
Even Zodd looks shocked at Griffith's power move at the end. Like "Dude seriously? You really went there!?"
lmao
God I can’t wait to see Griffith die, there’s so many badass battles and scenes to come. Something that will have to come up though, is Guts seems like he needs a real power up. Cause in his current state he can fight what a couple apostles before he’s taken to much damage and needs to recover. He needs like an injection of magic or something to keep him going.
I don't think Griffith will die, but rather he would have something taken away from him or something that he would have always wanted denied. The godhand can see the flow of time and Guts is only capable of changing the details of the events that will happen.
@@ashtonderojas821 destroying Griffith’s dream would be more satisfying than killing him
@@rstriker21 send him back to the dungeon
guts main object is destroyed the idea of evil, using benelith to trav.into astral realm, when the idea of all evil defeated all god hand revert to their origin form leaving griffith with his skinny weakest human body
knowing griffith wont worth to kill guts leaves him alone
@@bayumahendra1797 this is such a cool ending
After 3 chapters, they have all my faith in continuing the story. I'm so happy Miura was blessed to have his story follow through to the end.
If my memory serve me right, I think the last time Guts held his sword in such way 4:50 was he beheaded demon horse that about to assault Farnesse
The rape horse
Good catch
I can't tell if zodds hand was blurry because Guts vision is f'd or because Zodd is just an illusion produced by Griffith.
no zodd is just too fast
@@Weirdguy6
Yes, he is a STRONGED DEMON!
Nah i think he was just twisting his palm while attacking
An illusion would’ve been a bit weak, but I can see the concept behind why you said that, and it’s a pretty cool idea
I think it’s a mixture of Zodd being fast, Guts vision going (as we saw with the apple during practice) and these artists finding practicing the style Muira did so effortlessly
The first arc had an Apostle who refused to condemn his daughter to Hell, and allowed himself to be condemned instead.
The final arc will likely feature a similar parallel with Guts and the Moon Boy, though I hope Guts’ friends will unite to save him. Unlike the Apostle, Guts hadn’t forsaken his closest relationship beforehand.
Interesting take. It’s a possibility
I was under the impression that guts and casca cannot become apostles because they are branded
@@RUdigitized What I meant more was Guts is going to sacrifice himself and be condemned to Hell rather than let Griffith steal his child's life.
@@gdhuertas07 or cascas life for that matter
dont forget that after god hand there's the idea of evil, the source of the god hand, i think guts main priority is defeat the idea of evil
As much as guts hates Griffith he's no fool. In the last chapter we see the dragonslayer go straight through Griffith so if he went through with the attack he would have severely injured casca in the process.
no she would not be severly injured, she'll be straight up dead.
True, but it also cut off a single lock of hair from Griffith, which shows that Guts is closing the gap that currently exists between him and the Godhead members.
@@ununun9995 Well that's what I was getting at my dude but I don't want to think about my girl getting sliced in half lmao.
@@slimshazy2819 Truth that.
Well when your blinded by rage, you often can hurt the ones you love the most...
It's encouraging to get monthly releases. Next one is Aug 12th apparently
Not gonna lie, seeing Griffith hold Casca like that made me nearly go feral.
Mouri and Co. Really are doing something right if I can feel that enraged and still honestly say that the story is good.
The biggest accomplishment of this chapter is that I genuinely hate Griffith as much as Guts in this moment
Why do you hate guts?
NVM read it wrong
Lol I also read that wrong
Guts holding his sword over Griffith’s shoulder did remind me of the duel. Man, I f*cking hate Griffith too.
I don't think it'll be Apostles, I think It'll be the God Hand. They'll utilize the power of Elfhelm to rip there way out of the Earth and come into the "real world". Griffith is also taking Casca to remove his biggest weakness. She'll probably be locked in some room in Griffiths palace
I dont think The God Hand cares that much about a fairy island. It'll probably be apostles. Living beings are so inconsequential to The God Hand. What would they even say or do after showing up?
The God Hand already manifested in the Physical World in chapter 306, after the Great Roar of the Astral World. Reminder that Fantasia is a GLOBAL interstice, it's not just limited to the lands surrounding Falconia. The whole world is overrun by Astral creatures and beings, not just Midland and the neighbouring countries.
I take back what I want as an ending I want Griffith’s head on a pike, I loved that they have brought back the deserved hatred toward Griffith back to the front and center
LMAO I want to revive the ugly ass dude tortured/r*aped him.
He was a freaking hero.
And Griffith's kingdom becomes his dark stinky dirty cell.
That'd be the best ending lol.
I didn't expect the series to go in this direction but I have hope it will be good and the way miura wanted it to be ❤️
Berserk is the epitome of: "Keeping your friends close and your enemies closer"
7:18 i like how even Zodd is like : ''yo what the fuck man?? ''
looks like Griffith taking Casca was done to keep him from drifting away everytime moonlight boy comes out, which will probably cause Casca to want to eventually stay for moonlight boy.
Hello, I'm new to the berserk fandom, i red it all in 3 days and one sleepless night, this is the first manga i read, and oh ma lawd this is amazing!!
I'm hyped to reread it tho since i feel like it's a lot to take in with just one read.
can we get a community GRRRRRRIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIITTTTTTTHHHHHH!!!!!!
GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHH
There's one thing to consider throughout this entire chapter, yes this is Griffith but the Moon Child is still fully capable of manipulating Griffiths emotions to make it what kid wants (If you remember Chp 178: Reunion of the Hill of Swords). This is gonna be some insane psychological fight between the two and I cannot wait for how they'll go about this.
Griffith was always in full control, the kids emotions influenced Griffith to act on instinct and save Casca when the rocks were about to hit her, when she was in imminent danger of dying, but everything else was Griffith's own doing and still is. This current situation was planned and calculated by Griffith and he even used the Moonlight transformation to his advantage in order to destroy the island.
Casca and Guts love has to be the thing that kills Griffith. The moon child will be his down fall. Fuck I hate him lol
this is actually true btw lol.their love saves the world in a literal way
This is how you introduce love to solve your conflict, learn Isayama!
... They're gonna have to kill him while he's in the form of the helpless child. I can feel it.
2:23 I love that top panel with griffith having to acknowledge guts’ beast soul
This is when everyone fucking yelled "GRIIIIIFIIIIIIIIIIIITTTHHH!!!"
Griffith is still my favourite character, such an amazingly written character and the best written villain in my opinion with the best build up in the Golden Arc. That being said, I hope this gives Casca that character development she needs and she does not return to potato mode. Like if she fights back this time considering she does not have her 'security blanket' (our main cast) and rebels against Griffith.
I hate griffith so much BUT ... that what makes him an amazing villain .....
Can’t wait to see what role rickert and all them play in the final arc
Godhand is about to wreck this island. That is what Danan is saying. "They" means the worst possible creatures, and they are coming.
Loved the direction Berserk is taking, quite logic when you think of it. Casca being kidnapped gives Guts a purpose to go for Griffith's head. I would theorize that he will reach for some help (rickert and the bakiraka?).
Yeah I really do dislike Griffith as well but I also understand he has Guts’ and Casca’s child being a part of him so it’s complicated in a way.
Him stopping his sword just goes to show he is well aware of what Griffith was doing and didn’t lose himself in his rage.
Damn Griffith. He is a menace
2:25 is this Griffith noticing the beast of darkness in the top panel?
SuperEyepatchWolf is a chump, "strangely rooting for Griffith"?
In the early days of the Golden Age arc, sure, but right about now, Griffith has deserved his rightful place in Hell. No one true fan of Berserk has ever rooted for Griffith, only Guts.
Curse SuperEyepatchWolf and curse Griffith. Anger aside, the story is miur-ish so far, I hope it stays that way. Keeping Miura-san's story intact is first priority, not just the art.
Griffith is beyond narcissistic
I can't get over how "I hate him" is such an understatement for just how reviled Griffith is and yet is basically the perfect way to sum him up
Glad you got a sponsor tbh. I don't care for Raid but I know they support a lot of creators financially. Best of luck for more in the future bro!
The guts swing and stoping his sword last second is a call back to when ever he fought Griffith and the wind moved the snow and it's also the same shoulder guts was about to hit him at
Miura's vengeful ghost: "YOU REALLY THOUGHT YOU COULD HAVE NICE THINGS?!"
I like how people hate the chapter so much they end up liking it for some reason
you didn't mention the ghosts that start to flow in from below on the last page. I think thats the real reason why the ground was destroyed, so that the sanctuary powers of elf helm would be disabled and have a breach for things to get in.
You missed the "shadow spirits" bubbling up at Griffith's feet in the last panel.
Also I 100% suspect that if Miura were still alive, they'd be featured more prominently. But Mori is working with what large overarching information he has and his intimate knowledge of Guts and Griffith.
We will likely see Serpico, Isidro, Scherke and Farnese be put on the back burner... if they even leave Elfheim at all.
4:47 excellent observation, that's a like from me!
I guess Griffith kidnapping Casca was the only logical way to force Guts to go to Falconia
I kept TELLING you guys he’s a bad person!!! But NO! You were just like : “Maybe he’s changed!”
You said “I may make a video specifically talking about the things Berserk’ll need to cover before it ends”
Dude please do this!!! I just finished reading Berserk up to its current chapter, 371, and I need someone to organize these thoughts I and so many others have. I love your tone and insights, so I’d love to see it on your channel!
I’m also a sucker for speculation. Like I think it’s possible that Guts acquires a power similar to SK’s behelit blade into his dragon slayer. What will happen to the god hand members? Will they all slowly fall, like the akatsuki in Naruto? Will just Void survive, as he seems to be the only one of the old Godhand (one of which had a similar cloak to Ubik) who survived SK? Will the Godhand manifest itself into some thing or someone? Also more SK vs Godhand lore plsss.
Will time have passed so much so outside of Elfhelm so that Rickert and co are older and/or have amassed a greater force (and maybe Rakshas could be a stowaway who joins them, seeing as he’s disloyal to Griffith?)?
What will Casca do or say when she awakens in Falconia? Will she be confronted by her memories, will she continue to suppress them, will Griffith successfully brainwash her too?
Too much……. Man, I love this series too much.
I think Griffith used his powers. There was nothing stopping Guts from slicing Griffith and avoiding Casca in the process. That's why there was all that dust being kicked up. Griffith probably used The Dragonslayers astral properties to plant his future into Elfhelm like he did with Skullknight's Sword of Actuation strike. He took that dimensional attack into his palm basically and warped reality. I also like to think he warped reality here as well. He not only stopped the Dragonslayer dead in it's tracks, but in a blink of an eye he's not even there, but to the side of the blade while the tip rests on the ground.
Yea the explosive action in these last few chapters is insane, it’s such a massive change from chapter 364 which was probably my favourite chapter ever.
I think the 2 God hand deals came with defects that made Griffith's golden age side come back out in the child. If this wasn't so then Casca and Guts wouldn't be alive.
skullnight observing in upper panel at 6:55
Oh snap!
It could also be that Guts went so berserk that and didn't see near him. So Griffith went to protect them and stopped the sword with his magic. As Guts was pretty much blinded from hate at that fight.
The final page has also some spooky bois appearing at the bottom of the panel, which also seems to support the idea that that's how the demons will invade Elfhelm.
the only thing running through my mind this whole chapter was "GRIFFIIIIIIIIIIITH"
LETS GOOOO
After all power-up Guts got for all these journeys, he still couldnt even touch Griffin and lost his girl in a few minutes.
It’s going to be alright. The real black swordsman Donovan will return and clap Griffith’s cheecks.
You talked a lot about the "they shall spring forth from the earth" line from Danann but forgot to mention the shadowy figures with glowing eyes emerging from beneath Griffith's feet in the last page 7:00
apostles rising from the earth say you? But 7:07 suggests spirits to my mind - see his feet. Wicker men on the island are stuffed with spirits too.
The story was too peaceful. It was a balm among a nest of thorns. And with Berserk, well, you can always count on something horrible happening to its main characters sooner or later.
He can't keep getting away with it...!
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!
I'M SO HAPPY AND MAD AT THE SAME TIME AAAAGH
Im so glad that even the drawings look good
From what I've heard there will be 4 more chapters, let's pray that Guts not only kills Griffith but exposes him for what he really is. That'd be the cherry on top of this delicious sundae.
@Noxio Xpert Not sure exactly, but judging from the events in the latest 3 chapters we've been given it sounds like it's pretty close to ending, just not sure when.
There are 4 more of this arc. We have more arcs after words.
@@KoEnder i Think the next arc wil be the final
I think it would be far better if griffith returns to his crippled original form
@@Herb-o when he dies that will happen
I wonder if had guts decided to swing, would griffith had let himself be struck to kill casca cause his immortality and existing with the godhand would keep him alive, thus damming guts or would he have just stopped it, makes me wonder
This manga is the most triggering work of art in fiction
maybe danan is talking about the wicker men they keep under the island oor perhaps its could be a hole slue of taboo wepons the witches used in there wars that could rain down havok
Never trust a guy named Griffith
I had no idea berserk was already continuing since miuras passing....I'm touched!
I was looking forward to some kind of Silat redemption arc as soon as he buddied up with Rickert, and was afraid of never seeing how it would play out.
Hopefully Griffith doesn't kill him or I'm REALLY gonna hate that little fuck.
If I was guts, I'd be done with this shit man. I'd go on to leave my life killing a few demons that chase me from time to time but I'd be done man. Let Griffith live in his hypocritical bs if he wants to.
This is why I like Vagabond more than Berserk.
If you say some shit like "Griffith did nothing wrong", I'm gonna steal something out of your fucking house.
I absolutely loved this chapter because is undeniable proof that, by Berserk continuing, Kentaro cheated death.
the absence of guts and zodd fighting might be a detail that kojimori doesn’t remember so well so he left it out.
DAMMIT, GRIFFITH! COME ON! They were all finally resting! 😫
On a side note, the art is looking wonderful, they're doing a great job!
Cool chapter, but I didnt like the lack of explanation when Guts just passed Zod and how Griffith passed Shierke
After reading the chapter, I had only one thing to say:
Godhand damit, Griffith...
w video , w channel
I think Zodd is more there to get Griffith and he knows what will happen if he gets too rowdy. Even an immortal god of war has to shiver at the idea of several dozen really pissed off, really fucking powerful witches descending uppon him and one of the god hand.
i doubt Zodd is more knowledgable than Griffith. That dude tried to atack Griffith when he was already a Godhand and got his horn cut off.
@@zertsu That was also a dream though, or more likely Zodd was pulled into the Intercise while he was asleep and experienced the conversation like it were a dream.
Lol it’s alright bro, we all hate Griffith 😆😂
I think what Dana meant was that the other members of the God Hand are going to materialize in the real world
7:21 Who the heck rooted for Griffith at any momment??
I mean, he was specifically talking about Griffith for most of Golden Age, and yeah he was weird but I was rooting for him until he got overly possessive of Guts and the Eclipse killed any sympathy I had left.
Griffith was shit back then too, never cheered for him, he used guts as a killer, made a lot of terrible stuffs he was shit already, even making cascka a women fight for her life the first time he meet her was a perrverse way to make her a slave of him.
Nimeni
I feel like casca should get the final blow after rebelling against Griffith at falconia where he's presumably taken her
I still think that while it might be cheesy, they might be able to go out of this with the power of friendship.
What I meant by that is several people who were about to throw away their humanity and almost or became apostles to a certain degree are anti-social or at the very least, at the point where the world seems to not care about them. The difference with those mfs to Guts is that Guts slowly but surely built this friendship with the characters he met on his journey, and in my opinion this whole journey to elfheim wouldn't be a waste, as Guts just as like this guy said in the video, might go on a full on war vs griffith and his apostles.
Still however I fear that all of this will come at a cost despite how much Guts has changed from being downright cynical and hopeless after the eclipse to this very gentle being who is ready to protect those who are on his side on the journey.
Dunno if it will happen but buckle up folks i fear some characters we've known so far will either die in battle or just straight up go out in a blink of an eye just like in the eclipse.
To add something else, I'm also curious what's with griffith having this double persona where the world acknowledges his good sides and how he basically created the safehaven that is falconia and in contrast, us and Guts know his true nature. It will be interesting to either see that whether falconia is actually a safehaven or will it uncover its dark side and maybe be used for something else that benefits the god hand.
Really think that a calamity with the same scale as the eclipse would turn out differently this time or maybe Guts and co. stops it before it happens.
Who knows, I'm just rambling lmfao
What do people think of the plausibility of this supposition/hypothesis on Reddit?
"SK is [likely] meant to parallel both Guts and Griffith. It seems to me like Skull Knight is what they would have become were they one person (which goes some distance toward showing why they seem like such a perfect pair and their almost magical attraction to each other (whether that includes sexual attraction or not), and that, in a way, they compliment but, more importantly, contrast each other. Guts, I think, was a bit of a moderating influence on Griffith (often bringing out the best in him, though not always) and, if they had been able to stay together, things might have turned out much better (depending on whether you believe that man truly has no control over his will and fate or that is just the deliverance of unreliable characters and narrators).
The second piece to the puzzle, to me, is that Miura has said in interviews that he didn't think that he could have a bad ending for Berserk. This means that either Griffith has to die, be reformed and redeemed, or both (unless there is some good, or at least better, ending that I am not thinking of, which is likely).
Third, time and fate seem to be like a spiral, as mentioned several times in the lore, with things happening slightly differently. This means that we should see a character, or two (wink wink), take actions similar to Skull Knight. Both together did pretty well against Zodd, at least in the anime (since I haven't read that part of the manga yet).
This leads me to my conclusion. It seems likely that the ending includes either Griffith dying or being redeemed, or both, which might include him either being the Void to Guts' Skull Knight, him becoming like the Skull Knight himself, or him and Guts together fulfilling that role and going against the God Hand.
One further musing. If Casca was Griffith's sword, what would Guts have been to Griffith? His armor, perhaps? Perhaps, as the Skull Knight wore the berserker armor, Griffith will, symbolically, wear the Guts armor to defeat the God Hand. First, though, something would have to be done about Femto, probably at least. Wouldn't that be the highest Griffith could reach after subduing the world, to defeat the God Hand?
Edit: I wonder if the ostensible separation of the Skull Knight's fate into two, that of Guts and Griffith, could be the key needed to not only kill 4 or 5 God Hand but, also, thwart whatever is beyond them (IoE, if still canon)? I remember some line in the '97 anime, one of the episode end narrations (I think), asking if it is possible that man could escape his fate, or escape the cycle, or something along those lines. Could Guts or Griffith, or both, break the cycle/fate due to their combined abilities, traits, and potential efforts?"
Me reading this chapter: “HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT”
I was very sceptical of berserk continuing but I’m glad it has rip miura
I dont understand why people keep saying things like Griffith was about to die or He would have killed Casca along side Griffith.
Did we all not read Chapter 366?
There wasnt even a semblance a hint nor a whisper of Guts having a chance at even wounding Griffith. Just because he turned his back doesnt mean it was both him and Casco dead or no one dead at all.
Ni Tian Guts actually cuts a strand of Griffith 's hair with his dragon slayer sword in the previous chapter
He can't keep getting away with this!!!!!
He can't keep getting away with it.
So was it actually Guts who cracked the land by touching the ground with his dragon slayer? We know it has the blood of demons and astral beings almost enough to do damage to God Hand members (build up and Griffith’s cut hair) so did Guts actually doom Elf Helm and Griffith knew he would swing using his rage against him?
This meaning, our bro guts have to struggle more. My man just wan to be happy
7:20
Just like Walter White and Kira Yoshikage, the villain keeps escaping, but in the end he will get a brutal retribution.
I started feeling a strange respect for Griffith when he approved the orphanage and talked about his plans for Falconia. This immediately flipped me right back. This is about the worst thing that could happen , save for one of Guts crew dying
The sheer audacity of griffith doing that made me fricking angry like hulk level angry, it made me want to smash him
Is it weird for opinion? I think that "Berserk" 's concept is to explain (illustrate) between the wisdom and fool in human. Guts is symbolises as the knowledge one, he know his feel , dream and how adjust between his feel to the world. And Griffith is the one who look like the wisdom one but actually a fool on his dream.
He lost himself in the to his dream by misunderstood it. He knew he misunderstood so now he's finding it. Guts has the answer he wanted, the answer that he cannot do or find it. For me as my life experiences similar to Griffith (dream, goal , mental breakdown) I think he has a bit of Alexithymia as me. Alexithymia is very awful, you wanted to feel to have a feeling to connect to the world but cannot do.
Griffith's first step before thinking and doing almost everything is thinking care for his family , the band of the hawk and step two, he always wonder why he doesn't feel attach to anything and wanted to have the feeling.
Literally the only issues I’d say these past 3 chapters have had in my eyes is that some of the art looks a lil funky every now and again. Then finally, sometimes the pacing of everything feels a lil off. I know they’ve gone on record to say that they’re pretty much only tackling the story that Miura left but I think that if Miura in the first place gave his blessing and gave Kouji Mori the Berserk storyline, I’d at least like to see Kouji try and bridge events together naturally to maintain a smooth story pace and flow to scenes. The fights feel very choppy which isn’t a big deal to me but I can see it becoming something that will effect the quality of future chapters and Miura’s story very quickly if it isn’t addressed so it’s something I hope at some point gets remedied.
I have really REALLY enjoyed these past 3 chapters though and I think the artwork for the most part, although not quite Miura’s style, is still beautiful and feels like Berserk. Alongside the amazing buildup and payoff that Berserk is known for and keeps us reading.
