I'm convinced they 'fix' Caska and she's going to hate Guts or just run back to Griffith. it's going to be the saddest fucking thing ever. EVER!

So if you have no loved ones to offer for the Invocation of Doom, do you give up a piece of yourself (organs, limbs, memories, etc)?
After what he did to her? No way dude!

saddest scenario is that Guts manufactures false memories and lets Casca live a life with no knowledge of anything that happened with the band of the hawk

we've already had plenty of foreshadowing that bringing her back might not get Guts the "happily ever after" result.
Best case scenario: she becomes lucid again but remembers absolutely nothing, a blank slate. No feelings for Guts, no memories, nothing.

Without berserker armor, god killer sword, and weird causality negating powers that'll just be a whole lot of impotent rage.

She might get her mind back but there's a swerve coming. Skull Knight mentioned even if he wants her to be sane again, it might not be what she wants. Either she goes back to Griff or she can't deal with the memory of what happened and she's a wreck forever.
If you think this has a happy ending you haven't been paying attention : )

What's this I'm hearing about ships.
We've got enough ships in Berserk.
Just the one.
But that's quite enough.

I literally forgot what you guys are talking about. When did that happen?

Wait I can't remember if the supernatural thing in the conviction arc when she was confused for a witch was from her demon kid or from her.
Also when she killed that group of guys who tried to rape her I don't know if that was supernatural or bare-handed.

She killed those guys au natural, i thought
latent soldierly instincts came back for a second in a fight or flight situation and she massacred them. doesn't totally make sense, as she'd have lost all the muscle by then, but whatever

Pre-ordered this beauty today:
i always saw that scene as the dark magic from birthing that thing. Like it was protecting her. Not sure if it generated by her own will or the baby/kid. It's not clear if the powers are hers or not.

Maybe. Irvine might be blind which could be related to that.

I love the Berserk Armor but The Black Swordsman will always be my favorite Guts.

What's the benefit of choosing fedex over the standard shipping on instocktrades? Do they ship faster, does it arrive sooner, or both?

breaking down barriers in gratuitous nudity
Swerve: Guts dies from the armor, Casca decides to pick up where Guts left off and becomes new protag.

I am not even sure if the Berserker armor is enough for Guts to go against the top tier apostles let alone Femto or the God Hand, eventually some way or another Guts is going to be upgraded again.
Got through volume 24 last night. Had stalled out for like a month and a half, wasn't really holding my attention for some reason after the Tower of Conviction arc.
Think I just needed a break, though. Ripped through 24 and then half of vol. 25 today. Also ordered volumes 33-37 from InStock so I can catch up completely.

That's where the Elf-king come in I guess, maybe he fuses the Moon child with the armor or something

Not watching them is a fair alternative too.

Maybe he will learn how to use behelits...

The CGI gets better but don't take that as a "Please continue on with these movies" no matter what they are bad.
Yeah I was not implying that Casca would become a fighting monster with her memories back. And there is not such a thing as impotent rage when behelits are around.
The worse scenario would be Casca trying to sacrifice Guts for the power to get back at Griffith.

Eh...the movies get a little too much hate. They're a nice little bonus.
Also, the movies are justified simply because of this amazing trailer.

To be honest they only reason worth watching them is to introduce some friends to the series that don't want to read the manga. No reason to force your way through them if you are already a manga reader. Admittedly they are not as bad as the internet would have you believe, but still not really worth your time.

Bite the cover and eat the case.
First time follower of the series here, currently around halfway through the anime series, unsure wether to keep reading the manga or not after, i don't want to join the army of those who curse Miura for his slowness every morning.
Also, sadly i already know the series gets really dark and fucked up after a while, if i didn't that would be quite shocking. But i'm liking the lighter, simpler medioeval atmosphere of this first half.

I think there are quite a few dark and shocking moments in the section of the series you are on. To me , the most brutal thing happens quite early too (not in the anime).
I am at Guts and Casca falling down the cliff and subsequent Casca's backstory just to clarify.
Nothing too dark until this point IMHO
Well i guess Gambino selling Guts as a sex slave could qualify, but thats not mentioned in the anime.
True Savior
Member
Yes , the anime glosses over. But the
paternal figure of Guts selling him for a few coins and allowing him to be raped
Also Adonis fate
was certainly shocking.
It's not a coincidence that i find both events being related to children as fucked up.

it is very dark, but people overexaggerated how rapey it gets though. I also didn't think it was ever really outside the berserk universe's realm of believability. the trolls would have just been ugly, messed up grunts, not unlike some low level thing you'd find in a jrpg. after *that* scene, they gave me the shivers whenever they'd pop up.
I dunno, there's at least one (attempted) rape in practically every arc after the Eclipse. I can't remember off hand if the Lost Children has one, but the knight chick almost gets raped by a possessed horse after that.
The bee things play "adult attack" where they sodomize each other with their stingers or something messed up like that
Right, I was only thinking about humans getting raped so I forgot the demon bee children stinger sodomy.
Did you get to the troll den yet?
