    I don’t want to disappoint you, but it’s super boring.

14. Big L Says:
    June 13th, 2008 at 1:50 pm

    shut the fuck up miyagiCE, you spoiling asshole

15. Mivareem Says:
    June 13th, 2008 at 2:57 pm

    Yeah, boring…You are, more or less, right…
    But consider these chapters just like a “preparation” for something more…Something really Great and Wonderful…
    Like the memorable (and terrible) first Eclipse…
    Who would imagine such a superb and inanspected devolope of the story in that moment?…

    I never get exhausted of Berserk…’cause I’m always expecting the “right” moment…when everything will be clear and Marvellous…Just like in the beginning…

    The story is complicated and needs deep argumentation (not just dialogue, also the images can play their part) for being considerated “Real”…
    Nobody would love something that sounds “fake”…
    And I’m not talking only about the story but also about the characters and everything else…
    Berserk it’s like a parallel reality…

    Berserk it’s something I could never get tired of…

    I’m sure that everybody will miss all this (boring chapters, long waitings, etc.) when the two words “The End” will be printed on the last chapter…=(

    (Forgive my English, I’m Italian and I’m self-taught =P )…

    I figured this chapter would just be building up to the future, but i’m still excited. I can’t wait to see the emporer get smacked the hell up, no matter how far away that may be. Considering how long ago Guts and them decided to set out for Elfheim, I’m sure it will be a while before we actually see new developments. I’ve being doing re-reads while waiting for this chapter to come out. Seriously, no one else’s scans compare to EG’s. Thanks you guys for all you do. Mystic’s turn of phrase is a thing of beauty.

    Is that old f** riding a terradactyl? What the h*** is that

18. Thana Says:
    June 13th, 2008 at 5:20 pm

    That picture isnt as awesome as the panel 2 chapters ago where you see the giant emperor standing above the city… But Im interested in what way this servant, the mage (I think Daibu was the name), will take part in this fight. As you can see in this picture he is attacked and flees – was the attack on purpose or is the emperor just randomly spitting stuff?

    Me = excited!

19. sol rebellion Says:
    June 13th, 2008 at 5:51 pm

    that old fart thinks he can go berserk on Guts’s manga and steal his spot light, heah….weak performents,this is child’s play compared to Guts’s insane-madness-rage=berserk

    But then again, do I ever..

22. SAMfh Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 1:28 am

    More Berserk is always exciting, but this epic battle is streching on a little too far…let’s get back to Guts already.

23. vashfanatic Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 1:32 am

    any news on how long the interval will be between 297 and 298? I too am hoping that all these gorgeous-but-slow-paced chapters are leading up to an amazing battle, but how soon is the battle gonna /get/ here?

    btw, anyone else have the same thought as me, that the “falconia” arc will end with Griffith slaying the emperor? it seems a natural spot to switch over to a new chapter… maybe “land of the elves”? (we can hope!)

24. Muu Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 2:29 am

    I hope Guts will create the true “band of hawk” and will start to conquer a country to fight against grihfith’s Windam and demonic band of hawk.

    at the end : I made on my own what you were unable to made by yourself griffith, and SLASHHHH

25. miyagiCE Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 3:42 am

    There is no announcement for 298 as of now.

26. The Prince Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 6:14 am

    This just in…….

    MiyagiCE you officially suck balls for your lame ass spoiler.

27. miyagiCE Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 7:43 am

    Spoil? What did I spoil? I said I thought the chapter was boring and answered a question as to when the next one will be released.

    Cry moar.

28. The Prince Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 9:27 am

    I know you are involved in the editing process and therefore have read through 297 by now. But like most here, I make a concerted effort to wait for your release with open expectations.

29. Thana Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 9:52 am

    To say something is boring is not a spoiler. Why? Its his personal view of what happens in this chapter. He didnt exactly say what will happen – no spoiler for me.

    And who knows? Maybe I will think the next chapter is great and exciting…

30. Nixid Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 10:54 am

    I just can’t wait until the release ^^ want it so badly it hurts =D but that can ofc be the hangover since yesterday

31. magz Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 11:23 am

    Man, this is starting to seem like Dragon Ball Z where it take 50 episodes to get through one fight.

    Each episode has like 30 minutes of posturing and the Z fighters going “ahhh!” and freaking out about how powerful the enemy is with cutscenes of each of their frightened, overwhelmed faces.

32. miyagiCE Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 11:51 am

    I agree with Thana, whether or not you think is boring is something everybody as to decide for theirselves. I stated my opinion.

33. miyagiCE Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 11:53 am

    Bah, so many typos:
    *is = it’s
    *as = has

34. JG Says:

    The sooner Guts kills Griffith, the better imo. Muira is dragging a good story out for way too long, I really loved it when Guts was in the hawks, and even the first and the second eclipse, but after that Berserk took a plunge into a sea I’d like to call the great wide shithole.

35. Big L Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 6:45 pm

    the story has been moving along at the same pace as when it started (more or less). reread the early volumes (~4-10) and tell me you would be able to wait 2 weeks in between those chapters

36. Vicious Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 6:48 pm

    I want guts to take on and kill all the new leaders of the Hawk and then finally griffith

37. James F Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 6:52 pm

    Everybody keeps saying it’s being drawn on for too long… well, let me put it this way: we won’t know if it’s being drawn on too long until it’s done. Some mangas go on forever and they still rule. Some go on forever and then they suck at the end. We won’t know for sure how Berserk, as a whole, will be, until it’s finished.

    But my money is on… absolutely awesome. Because that’s how it’s been in the past, and I see no reason to think it won’t be that way still.

    Something big is coming. Just be patient while the pawns are moved around on the board, and then we will finally see the kings do battle…

38. XENU Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 7:03 pm

    Berserk has taken a turn for the worse. The sooner Guts ditches those fools off at Elfhelm and gets back on track, the better. Oh, and this Giant God of Blindness is ridiculous.

39. InterRage Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 8:07 pm

    If Griffith really has the power to defeat the Emperor, then I don’t see how Guts could kill griffith, even with the Berserk Amour.

40. equalityofcipher Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 9:32 pm

    Rickert will make Guts an incredible new sword. SK will kill Void thereby shattering the demon realm that the Godhand have created. Then, while SK and Zodd go at it to the death, Guts will cut Griffith’s pretty little head off and bring it back to Caska as a souvenir…
    at least that how it works out in my dreams

41. MY NAME IS NOBODY Says:
    June 14th, 2008 at 9:34 pm

    Does anyone know if there is an end in sight? Does he have this mapped out? When will we get closure? It has been practically twenty years since we were first introduced to Guts and gang … To have this story reach it’s full potential … it needs to end soon and not continue down this course where it steers off into random genres … the pirates curve is fun and cute, but is it needed artistically? Does it serve a purpose in the grand scheme of the novel’s entirety?

    I love this novel. The core characters are beautiful. I love the artwork. I just want to see an end in sight before I give up from exhaustion. So, what’s the word on volumes left? Anyone know?

    @moondo – we all are aware of other scanlation group who do berserk but most people here wait for the quality stuff. So If the binktopia’s scanlations fit you then it’s ok with me- please read them but don’t post about it here.

44. Eldo Says:

    Just in case everyone is wondering what the progress of Berserk is, unfortunately, most of us are a bit busy with our lives. I have several exams that are waiting for me to fail, so my time spent on hobbies are somewhat limited.

    It will definitely be out soon. We are dedicated to making sure that this is the damn finest product that is coming out from all our efforts. Everyone, please refrain from posting other scanlations. I’m sure everyone else can find it for themselves. It’s the internet, not everyone is retarded.

45. Matten Says:
    June 15th, 2008 at 9:26 am

    First off, JG, Berserk is still amazing. Secondly, @InterRage, the elf king will magically enhance Guts’ already insanely awesome sword, as well as, giving more power to the party as a whole. If Caska is healed and becomes useful for something besides rape, then that might be the edge they need to kill Femto/ Griffith. Personally, I want this to go on until chapter 400 or so.

46. lon3vvolf Says:

    Eldo says “Everyone, please refrain from posting other scanlations. I’m sure everyone else can find it for themselves. It’s the internet, not everyone is retarded.”

    Quoted for truth. Take your time guys, it will be much better, and much more appreciated when you get it done. Good luck on those exams.

    Sorry about the post. I just thought it might save you guys some time and effort. Sorry.

48. Eldo Says:
    June 15th, 2008 at 4:46 pm

    Moondo: We never look at other people’s scanlations, nor do we use their edits or translation, so no, it will not save us some time and effort. To suggest or imply that is very insulting to us.

50. Salix Says:
    June 15th, 2008 at 11:42 pm

    Think the series going a little overkill atm.
    Seeing that the entire kushan army dident oppose much of a threat to girffiths army.
    And now all this with the kushan emperor becoming some sort of skyscraper god.

    I myself was more hoping for a final showdown bewteen the mighty forces of kushan and the “last hope” of midland.
    So well lets se how it ends before delivering the final judgment

    This chapter was a big disappointment for me! I’m not going to spoil anything obviously,I just wanted to say this. As you can guess, this means that I looked at someone else’s scanlation, but the only one which will always remain in my hd is yours, because it’s better.

52. moondo Says:
    June 16th, 2008 at 1:47 am

    To Eldo and all the whole crew, I apologize once again. I’ve been a big fan of your scanlations for the past few years, and yeah, your releases are the best. Sorry for the stupid comment.

53. JG Says:
    June 16th, 2008 at 8:50 pm

    Matten, you are entitled to your opinion, but I think Berserk lost alot of what made it good after the second eclipse. The more over the top it gets, the less likely it is that Guts is gonna be able to finish it with his own two hands, which is what I found to be the most intriguing part about the whole story, he isn’t some kind of superpowered ninja, he’s just a very dedicated guy and he’s gotta get respect for that.

    Now he’s instead a very dedicated guy with a party of magicians, packed with magical items and going to some elf sissy to cure his wench from a mental disorder.

    I really wish Muira stops the story before it gets even more over the top.

54. Jason Says:

    For those of you who enjoy a very linear, narrow storyline with a simplistic universe, go someplace else.

    He looks ridiculous. Can that thing even move his feet’s? Griffith is so gonna own that piece of hairball.

    hmmm I want to see how Gut’s and the others are doing. Who cares about Griffith and that hairball

    Berserk started out awsome. Its main character was brilliant and it had enough sex and violence to last me ten lifetimes. BUT, I feel Berserk has gradully worked its story AWAY from its main plot. It doesnt really have a plot at the moment. Seriously. What is the plot in Berserk atm? Can anyone anwser me? What drives Gutts, the protagonist, and why? How does his current actions get him closer to that goal? What are the obstacles he must overcome to get to that goal? Who is his enemy and why? Who are his allies and why do they matter? Except for puck, since without him they wouldn’t be going to his homeland.

    To be truthful, none of these questions have a straight anwser. You might have an oppinion but nothing provable.

58. F.E. Jericho Says:
    September 22nd, 2008 at 11:18 am

    Well I think this arc about Kushan Emperor is not so thrilling as others we’ve read in the past, maybe because this evil character is too similar to the stereotypical villain, he has not the charme of Griffith of other enemies like the Count or Lucine the Elf… and now he’s just become a huge powerful monster. I wonder how Miura will show us the battle between Griffith and this giant monster, I hope it won’t be a “dragonball style” one.

    Anyway, up to now I think that Berserk could end without a final showdown between Guts and Griffith: as we have seen when they met again on Godor’s hill, Guts now just cares more about Caska while Griffith is still looking for his own kingdoom, so they could finally take different paths.
    Moreover, we should remember that even if Guts would be able to defeat Griffith, there are still Void and the other of God Hand, and we know that Beheljts will continue to appear on the Earth and create monsters because of the Idea of Evil that gives power to God Hand… so Guts revenge is neverending and impossible.
