    Yet, still no news about berserk

  10. MrOnepack Says:

    woho! Saved my day! thanks alot for both biomega and zetman!

  11. MrOnepack Says:

    did I say day?! I meant week damnit! And now I sooo crave the next zetman!

  12. kruky Says:

    Thanks a lot for releases. I was wondering if you could possibly do – as it’s done with Ippo for example – that torrent goes to same folder with every release (ie. each chapter of Zetman goes to your_path/Zetman).

  13. wollfyn Says:

    Way cool! It’s Biomega. So love this manga. Thanks for your hard work.

  14. BerserkBerserk Says:

    This goes back to what some one said in the earlier update about miura taking such a long time so that once he gets back on track there will be regular frequent releases. Well, I definitly would like to say, I hope so.

  15. Fizban70x7 Says:

    Woot, Zetman!

    Sometimes they do that with on-going series, slow down releases so the author can work ahead, rather than being down to the wire all the time. All I know is, after this long the fight better be great between Griffith and Ganishka.

  16. BoA_Lover Says:

    thank you so much for Zetman.
    been looking forward to it.
    Keep up the good work.

  17. Kagutsuchi Says:

    This week I was constantly checking the RSS feed for updates. I was starting to panic, but now…euphoria! ^_^

    Thanx for the Zetman guys! :D

  18. ultra lucky cat Says:

    Wow more Zetman! Thanks a million almighty Evil Genius. :) Anyhow, some suspicion/predictions about Zetman:

    SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!

    - The sweeper isn’t dead, he left his suit before it was impaled.
    - The intro scene from issue 1 will commense right after the next fight, with kouga aiming pistol at zet’s head.
    - Doh! You figured this out long ago ;)

  19. Harold Says:

    i’d like to give you all a big cyber hug.

  20. BerserkBerserk Says:

    I have always wondered why the style of berserk changed after volume 6. It started out cool, but then it just got completely better. It whent from a 10 to a 15 on the awesome scale. I never quite understood it.

  21. Red Says:

    Woot, thanks for the update guys and keep on trucking. I also think that Muira should get on with the story instead of putting so much detail in the at.

  22. Bop Says:

    Muchos Gracias, uds. son gente bonitos. => You all are beautiful people.

  23. BerserkBerserk Says:

    I agree that Miura should speed it up, and if it takes miura leaving out the fine details so be it. I remember volumes 1-6 didn’t have as good detail as volumes 7-34, but hey, I loved the old style of the volumes, and I wouldn’t mind a revisit to the old ways.

  24. DiscoMouse Says:

    Thanks a lot for Biomega! Finally, this story is starting to even out a little =P

  25. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    maybe both storyline AND drawing take a lot of time. I think he does not want to drop the quality of any of these. But I still want Berserk.

  26. BerserkBerserk Says:

    is it true that Miura already created an ending?

  27. krazyivan Says:

    @BerserkBerserk: Yes, he does.

    SPOILER:
    it’ll consist of a golden-era wonder-woman crossover, gay jokes and 7 drunken pirates and one with 2 peg legs and 2 peg hands and a peg parrot

    and a tiny lava lamp(they allways say that havok-making lavalamps are insignificant)

  28. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    some people sugested that he might be afraid of dying before finishing Berserk so he is writting the endin or that he already has, but it’s only speculaion, rumors. Yet, this is the longest wait for berserk I remember. 3 months, almost 4 and still no chapter announced… heck we will be begging for berserk during christmas

  29. Eldo Says:

    kruky, that’s an interesting suggestion. I know that sort out things neater and maintain a level of order for the files, but personally, I’m the kind of person who hates going folder within folder just for a file. However, you do raise a very good and valid suggestion, and I see the reasoning behind it. If enough people like it, sure, no problems. I’ll have to find out how that works though, I’m a technical ditz.

  30. BerserkBerserk Says:

    wow miura that afraid of dying before the final chapter of berserk? damn. Well then he better hurry up. At his age who the hell knows whats gonna happen to him, but he still does have a good amount of time life in life.
    Still, makes me wonder if he thinks people are out to get him. Maybe disgruntled fans who waited too long for the next berserk chapter.

  31. Jinbei Says:

    All this talk about Miura taking so long because he’s putting so much work into the art… clearly not the case. Not the greatest art in the world would justify a four-month holdup. Clearly other things going on here (including, I reckon, a fair amount of laziness).

    Also, ultra lucky cat, the Zetman volumes have been released up to chapter 118, so I know exactly how on or off target you are with your assumptions ;p

  32. Fizban70x7 Says:

    Hey, you never know what can happen. Hopefully Miura will have a long productive life and odds say that he will, but sometimes things happen. Fantasy author Robert Jordan died before completing the final volume of his Wheel of Time series–fortunately, he had the foresight to put down what he wanted to happen in the ending and how it ended up that way.

  33. krazyivan Says:

    I’m looking for one solid proof that Miura is working and not staying home to smoke pot and watch porn for the last three months but so far I’ve found none…

  34. BerserkBerserk Says:

    haha I would be pissed if I found out for sure he was doing that.
    It would be nice to have proof of his productivity

  35. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    though I really wish for the next berserk ch to air as soon as 3 months ago, I think Mr. Miura is the grand master for whom we should all have the highest respect. He is not a machine, not a production factor, not an animal. He is not a cow that must be productive for christ sake. Although, I repeat, I WANT Berserk, Miura doesn’t owe us anything.

  36. LWP Says:

    Now hold on there for a second, Mystyc Vegeta. I have bought all volumes of Berserk so far at an average price of 10 USD, which makes about 320 USD I poured into the series. Sure, it is not much, but I would be darned if Miura didn’t own us, his loyal fans, supporters, followers and buyers something which at least looks like a decent schedule (and not just some random 3-month hole) and an _end_ to the whole stuff.

    So he does owe us, big time. I would have been interested how long his series would have been if it didn’t sell so well. I am not arguing that we aren’t getting great quality for our dough, but he does owe us much.

  37. krazyivan Says:

    We’re not saying that he should. Actually I accept the fact that we may as well be waiting for another 3 months for the next chapter and still consider Miura the best mangaka ever. But it’s fun to speculate. And if he has the money for that by all means I think that he has every right to do with he’s time as he pleases. Miura is a free man and I would respect if he got bored and canceled berserk at all, but it would be nice to know that he’s didn’t….

  38. yatamura Says:

    First of all thanks evil genius for a great job…now for a couple of things,while waiting for berserk i started reading zetman….Question one:ok,i was absorbed a bit by it at the begining but does it takes time for the story to “unfold”??i think it’s rather slow(but that’s all i got while waiting for berserk)…
    Question 2:i have really limited time with my job and all,does it worth my time?(comparing to berserk wich is by far the best manga for me)
    Question 3:Except for lodoss is there another manga similar to berserk??i mean D&D style…(exclude Claymore)
    Question 4:talking about claymore has anyone heard of a 2nd season for the anime??:)
    And about berserk:I so badly want a new berserk anime.Does anyone know how much a production would cost?
    …and i’m getting so paranoid about the new berserk issue…hope it comes out soon.waiting for near 4 months for a 5′ ecstatic reading.i don’t want to think how long we will wait for the next…

  39. geo Says:

    hey
    does anyone know when we are going to get to see more of berserk????? pls somebody say something….!!!

  40. BerserkBerserk Says:

    We DO have respect for Miura, but come on now.
    Even if we had to wait a year from now we would still respect miura, but it is just not good buisness to do this to the fans. Fans get restless and quit reading, THOSE OF LITTLE FAITH I MIGHT ADD. NO WAY AM I GONNA STOP.
    If he did put more chapters out faster that meens faster income for him too, and the fans will be happy, and we are the reason berserk continues. Berserk needs a wheel to turn it and we turn that wheel. No cash flow, no berserk flow. Its like the economy.
    SO yes, in a sense its a symbitoic relationship we have in which we ower miura and MIURA OWES HIS LOYAL FANS. so please, miura, step on it! To cancel Berserk, or to prolong its greatness is a shame to berserk and miura’s work all together.

  41. Ice Says:

    not really, you’re assuming that he’s doing this to make money. in fact, it’s quite the opposite – he’s staying true to his line of work and not selling out by rapidly pumping out volumes of garbage.

    the thing is, i understand and agree, the wait is ridiculous. he pretty much had the same schedule last year as well. he’ll probably pump out about 3-4 releases anywhere from between halloween and christmas, and then go on break again until late-winter/early-spring. or something along those lines.

    as fans, i think if we at the least had some transparency in the release schedule so that we knew exactly when the next release was, we would be a lot easier on him taking his time. but without knowing, it’s kind of a pain to keep checking and wondering when the next release is. if you’re a fan of something, you love it, and if you love something it sucks to constantly try and figure out when you’re gonna get to experience it again.

  42. Cower Says:

    a little late but.
    Biomega – YAY!

  43. zemzet Says:

    1. Vinland Saga (about vikings, absolutely Great manga)
    2. Blade Of The Immortal (about medieval japan, also pure greatness)
    3. Ubel Blatt (medieval fantasy, also pretty good)

    A few mangas that I’d recommend for Berserk hungry people. They all have plenty of gore, and other berserk similarities. And they are among my favorite mangas after berserk from the same type of mangas. So I highly recommend the 1. also highly recommend the 2. and pretty highly the 3. one too. Of course there are others like Vagabond, Claymore etc. etc.

  44. Harold Says:

    hmm… normally everyone just spams around for a bit before talking about berserk but it seems that you guys got right on it this time.

    answers for yatamuro:
    question 1: the story is really good all throughout, even when you have no idea what is going on. it really comes together and makes you say “OOOOHHH! now i get it!” at around chapter 40 or 50.
    question 2: ooooh yeah, it’s worth your time. trust me. would i lie to you?
    question 3: if you have a short amount of time i suggest basalisk. it’s effing cool.
    question 4: no idea.

  45. BerserkBerserk Says:

    If only Miura could see the die hard quality of his fans

  46. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    LWP, speaking about whether Miura owes us something or not is a rather philosophical aspect and I’d rather not go into philosophy. It really depends on the point of view but generally speaking and objectively thinking I would say he doesn’t owe us anything.

    People shouldn’t speak of Miura like of an animal whose only purpose is to produce. I don’t want to accuse anyone, we are probably all stressed by the long long wait for Berserk, but we should not forget to respect the grand master. The fact that Miura does not “produce” lots of chapters really fast is a proof that he isn’t drawing Berserk for the money.

  47. krazyivan Says:

    I don’t expect him to produce or pretty much do anything at all since I’m in no position to boss anybody and especially an artist from the other side of the globe. Secondly, I don’t mind the wait. But since I’m studying computer science I’m used to the practice that when your working on something you create a web page about the project concerning the current status and possible release date. I’m not saying that Miura should go to that extent but it would be very nice if, for example, he would issue a note for the young animal saying ‘I’m busy now, expect next chapter near June next year’ and in my opinion it would be totally OK.

    By the way- ok, there hasn’t been a new chapter for really a long time, but It’s no reason to be stressed. It the greatest manga I’ve ever read and I don’t recall finding a better story in a movie or novel but still it’s just a manga ;) . A kick-ass one though…

  48. BerserkBerserk Says:

    All I’m getting at is that to deny our feelings we deny our humanity, so it doesn’t bother me when people come here to say I’m pissed or damn i want berserk.
    As Krazy Ivan had said, I would be totally alright if we just had some sort of closure with miura with him saying “yeah I’m buisy expect the next chapters to come out (date inserted here)”. to quote krazy ivan, “I don’t mind the wait. But since I’m studying computer science I’m used to the practice that when your working on something you create a web page about the project concerning the current status and possible release date”. By doing that, Miura would create closure, lack of pessimism, and security in the fact that the people would know berserk is on the way, instead of what we have here, where we all think Miura could die and never finish berserk. Its like a relationship with communication.
    Its all about security and blowin off steam. people have fealings, and to deny those fealings, we wouldn’t be human and thats what we are.

  49. Harold Says:

    even if he didn’t give a date and said something like “in a while” or “soon” that would be fine. i’d like something….

  50. The Prince Says:

    My guess is around Oct. 24th we’ll be seeing something epic.

  51. Jinbei Says:

    Because that’s when Volume 33 is being released? ;)

  52. BerserkBerserk Says:

    hope so.
    thinking about it, in america, we are kind of close to the actual volume release in Japan. Right now we have up to volume 25 in america and there 32/33 volumes in japan. so thats only an 8 volume difference. ANd looking at the release of chapters from Miura, I can see the manga in the states catching up to teh released chapters and volumes of Japan.

  53. Phireo Says:

    No… Don’t know if The Prince knew it or just guessed it (hence what he literally said, but he could have meant he guessed about something epic, not the date)

    It’s OFFICIAL!!!
    New Berserk Chapter on 24th of October! Directly from YA’s site!!

    Phireo

  54. Marte Says:

    My biggest problem is that probably, after this huge wait, we’ll have another chapter with that idiotic giant emperor and that bastard of griffith. I want to see Gatts, FUCK!

  55. BerserkBerserk Says:

    yeah I want to see more berserker armor pownage action. at the same time this ganishka battle will get this griffith bs out of the way

  56. InterRage Says:

    I had to check to see if it wasn’t a fluke.

    You make midmoth updates not midweek

  59. temp Says:

    Releases are slow as molasses, but thanks for them anyways!

  60. Marte Says:

    Unfortunately I think it will go like this(but I hope not!):

    Giant Idiotic Emperor : Oh, I see a big light! Oh it’s the hawk. Well, till 5 seconds ago I wanted to kill him, but look at him! He’s too damn white to be hated! Yeah, I don’t know why, but, if he’s so much white and shining, I have to like him!
    That Bastard Of Griffith : Piece of Cake!

    Same thing with everyone else, even normal people :

    Normal Idiotic People(or even Special Idiotic People, like knights and the like) : Oh, look at him! He’s so white and shining! You know what? I don’t care if he’s got a huge amount of horrible monsters in his army, he’s so damn white! He must be good! He’s so white that he must be our saviour!That Bastard Of Griffith : Geez, it’s not even fun! They’re too much stupid!

  61. Harold Says:

    i honestly don’t care to see another battle. i’d like to see the plot get moving a little!

  62. Mad Pete Says:

    I hate this human rights… ‘don’t talk about Miura like he was an animal’ Well we’re all animals aren’t we?
    I think we should just lock Miura whith yesterday bread and water ’till he’s finished his job

  63. BerserkBerserk Says:

    october 12, just 12 more days!

  64. krazyivan Says:

    and unretard casca allready!

  65. krazyivan Says:

    Acording to the YA site (atually a guy who says he knows japanese who i dont know in person) this one will be 42 pages long
    Sorry for double posting but this new is soooo freak’n sweet that i think that you guys should know:D

  66. Phireo Says:

    Well… yes… It’s as you say… probably… You know, Japanese can sometimes be missunderstood! But yeah!!!
    42 Pages of the masterpiece!!

    Phireo

  67. Geralt Of Rivia Says:

    42 pages long?????
    I seriously hope you are not shitting around, lol. Spreading a news like that, which turns out untrue, could get you beaten to death by a mob of angry Berserk fanatics.

  68. bluestar Says:

    According to the skullknight forum the 42 pages are going to consist of a reprint of the last chapter (297) and the new one…^^ at least, there’s something new coming our way soon enough!

  69. BerserkBerserk Says:

    I like 42 pages.
    It’s ok. Thanks Krazyivan.
    this has to be epic then. 42 pages. I’m assuming it is the ganishka fight.
    or…maybe it is 42 pages becuase its a long explanation of caska becoming back to normal.

  70. Marte Says:

    @62:
    That cannot be. She at least has to meet the King Hanafubuku first. I hope he’s still alive and we won’t have a surprise like : griffith already killed him, the elves kingdom is already destroyed.

  71. Harold Says:

    yeah right. caska coming back to normal. i believe it left off with the whole worlds logic crumbling and guts’s behelit going off whack. there’s just gonna be more hardship for our hero’s party. perhaps a god-hand?

  72. bluestar Says:

    hmmm or more idiotic emperor squashing his own kin and griffith contemplating him, asking himself how in hell can someone be so dumb and regret Guts’ presence…either that or Guts boning crazy Caska in front of farneze…

  73. InterRage Says:

    I’m expecting guts still not being able to defeat griffith, even with the berserk armor. So then it would be time to use that behelit that he was carrying around for so long, but something has to trigger it.

  74. Marte Says:

    @62 : They still didn’t even met the King Hanafubuku, how is it possible that Caska comes already back to normal?
    At best it’s the arrive at Puck’s home. Worst case, it’s a chapter about the idiotic giant and bastard griffith fight.
    Probably it will go like with everyone else :
    idiotic giant : Oh, he’s so white and shining! He was my enemy but now I want to worship him!
    bastard griffith : piece of cake!
    everyone else : Yeah, he’s got horrible monsters in his army, but who cares? He’s so white and shining, so we must like him no matter what.
    bastard griffith : Geez, what idiots!

  75. InterRage Says:

    it wasn’t until today that I fully realized that I was drawn to this story for a reason. It was because the same sort of shit was happening to me. Don’t worry no demons and large swords were involved. But that sort of relationship with guts and griffith. I was Guts and my brother was Griffith. Don’t worry, I ain’t all that special, but the SOB blames me for ditching him when I realized he was just using me to make himself look good, and when he finally got what he wanted I ditched, I felt like, I wasn’t in it for being the best there is, I was there for the fun of it.
    Some parralells there.

    It was about a clan for Kingpin. We were called GQX. and We were the best on Heat.

  76. InterRage Says:

    “We were”
    meh, I guess I’m still kinda proud that my brother pulled off what he did. Even if it was at my expense. I helped out didn’t I? I used my name to make em seem greater than he really is.

  77. InterRage Says:

    It’s too bad he had to be a fuckass about it. and start blaming all his problems on other people just cause he couldn’t lord over his “superiority”.

    anyway, sorry for getting all personal.
    and for triple posting. Just an interesting insight.

  78. Adavanter Says:

    I think I’ve finally come to the decision that I’m not going to read Berserk anymore. Don’t get me wrong I’m still going to collect it. I just want to read it all in one go. When I read chapters 1-30 in one go berserk was easily one of the greatest I’ve ever read… well about anything! I’ve been steadily reading each one as they trickle out but it’s really ruining the story for me. The flow gets shattered. It’s hard to get hyped for a battle or plot point when it’s basically: Hello my name is… Find out next month. Now with this huge dry spell it’s even worse. I often find myself forgetting where the hell I left off.

    I don’t want him to rush to an ending. If we wants to write 100-200 more I think that’d be awesome… I’m just not reading them until it’s done. This wait for me now official is ruining one of the greatest stories I’ve ever read.

  79. BerserkBerserk Says:

    we left off with Gutz and party on the boat and farnese learning to manipulate her powers better. Gutz is all burned and the demon inside him wants out. Griffith thinks he’s the shit and ganishka is killing his minions and trodding after griffith.
    This can only meen one thing, big ass ganishka fight or they finally get to elfheim and meet the king who I’m assuming looks like Puck HAHAHAHAHA idk or Puck with a mustache haha. And caska better get cured. come one. 42 pages! What else are they gonna do with 42 pages besides finish an epic battle or cure caska.

  80. Harold Says:

    hmm think guts behelit is going off whack because it’s near to elfhelm. and if so, maybe the godhands will be able to use it to find elfhelm and after the epic battle there will be another even more epic battle against the apostles and whatever they have at elfhelm.

  81. BerserkBerserk Says:

    that would be sick. I like harold’s idea. But I do also think caska getting cured and then caska and gutz double fighting on griffith would be better.
    Can you imagine what caska has to say after all of this? shit. Hardcore. Who knows what she needs to get off her chest. I would love to hear caska’s first words after her retardation. Poor caska! Retardation is torturous Hell. I pray for all who suffer as such!

    For everyone else, I thought that you all might be interested in this.

  83. Byku Says:

    Wohoo… something is happening ;D

  84. krazyivan Says:

    We’ll see how will he do. Personally I think that it wouldn’t be so bad if somebody would help Miura to develop the art. But he should still have complete freedom to develop the story on his own.

  85. Mad Pete Says:

    I don’t think Caska will help Guts fight Griffith. Skull Night’s words don’t stop ringing in my head: ‘what she wants may not be what you want’, or something like this

  86. BerserkBerserk Says:

    Thanks for the information Otakuzero.
    I definintly want to have that alternate cover.
    Guess they really are making a big deal about the return of Berserk. Seems like alot of people were effected.
    Just goes to show you cant quit during your mission and you need to keep on moving forward until the job is done.

  87. Muddtoad Says:

    Now that’s what I’m talking about……I’ve been waiting months for the news that a new Berserk Chapter is coming out…..thanks Otakuzero!

  88. Phireo Says:

    Yeah! Thanks otakuzero!

    Phireo

  89. BerserkBerserk Says:

    i hope the new cover is good. will it be sold in America, too?

  90. bluestar Says:

    it’s an alternate cover for the young animal magazine, not the actual manga…I think

  91. BerserkBerserk Says:

    well i figured the japanese would hoard the good stuff for themselves anyway.

    that’s a cool pic berserkberserk. but what is it lol? looks like griffith is standing against those things. think ganishka has achieved god hand level and is creating hacksy apostles of his own?

    !!!!!

    WOW! I think we’re about to see some crazy Femto powers ;)

  98. Kntrville Says:

    Im really looking forward to the next chapter, se you later aligators!!

  99. bluestar Says:

    more idiotic emperor…jeez, I hope this arc’ll end soon, that the guts team finally leaves Caska in Elfhelm and get serious about kicking godly ass

  100. Cower Says:

    raws of biomega chapters 38-39 is out.

  101. Byku Says:

    Omg…. omg.. :D … Evil-Genius prepare for big translation…. 42 pages…:D OMG!

  102. don Says:

    mmm im afraid that this new chapter will be the last for this year, dont you think?

  103. BerserkBerserk Says:

    From that picture, I can tell Griffith is some going to have some huge area of a effect powers that either destroy all of ganishka’s little demon hordes or block himself completely from them. Or maybe he will let his band of the hawk (throws up) fight off ganishka.
    @Bluestar -> I agree. It would be better to just have this ark be done
    @Don -> I don’t even want to think about berserk ending for a year after this chapter. But personally, I really don’t think that will happen.
    @Ganishka please…..just die this time….for good. And take Griffith with you to Hell.

  104. ultra lucky cat Says:

    I like that picture Arto! I’m sure the next chapter will be awesome as always.

    Offtopic: Have any of you played the PS2 Berserk game? Think i might try and get a copy once i get a PS3 (hopefully the game is backwards-compatible). Anyway here’s some glimpses of the game for anyone who hasn’t seen it already:

  105. Eugene Says:

    Now everyone is talking about the American economy and eclections, nice to read something different. Eugene

  106. Adavanter Says:

    Looks to me like he and the new band of the hawk will fight together. I’d prefer that to the simply wave of Griff’s hand. Maybe even some of the Hawk will die.

  107. BerserkBerserk Says:

    I wonder if Guts will have to fight the other strong members of the band of the Hawk. there is the guy who can shoot arrows with the demonic bow, the locus lancer, the rest of the giants, that fucked up cunt little girl who is obsessed with griffith, and then Zodd and the shadow guy who wants Griffith’s head. Not to mention Daiba, too. wtf. SO many more enemies for Gutz to have to kill. Hopefully most of those isted above will die. Not including Gutz. That little girl needs to die fast. Seriously. Ishidoro and that girl are so annoying and they are little brats I hope they burn in hell with the count and the rest of the fallen apostles.

  108. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    I’m wondering when’s Skull Knight going to show up again? he’s still a big mistery, and he hasn’t been involved in the plot for quite some time. he presents a lot of potential to the storyline

  109. BerserkBerserk Says:

    yeah, skull knight still needs to come full circle with us, too. I wonder if he will ever turn back into a human looking man again.

  110. Cower Says:

    what bothers me more than anything is – When the girl from second/third volume (you know that daghter of weird wormlike apostol) will appear?
    She seemed like a character who’d come back in later volumes. But still no signs of her…

  111. rebellion Says:

    did think about that perhaps in the eclipse everyone would have died even if grifith rejected the offer.
    so for that perhaps grifith accepted the sacrifice only to gain power and kill the other 4 of the god hand taking revenge for what they put him through but first he must take revenge on the kindom.
    oh and the first episode of berserk was that grifith was king and guts was alone with puck or just found him but grifith isnt king yet guts not alone and he already knows puck as at the beging it says that grifith is king and after that he meets puck

  112. Kntrville Says:

    Gutz has yet to kill the other god hands, i think he’ll become something like the skull rider(god hand killer)

  113. Fizban70x7 Says:

    Skull Knight will probably show up again when Gutts starts directly hunting the apostles again. That or when Miura needs to explain some new revelation.

  114. Harold Says:

    i don’t know why you guys are thinking that guts is going back to demon hunting after this. “remember, what you want might not be what she wants.” ring any bells? also lets not forget the fact that caska gave griffith a hug at the reunion on the field of swords.

  115. BerserkBerserk Says:

    @Cower –> I agree, in another forum I also talked about the posibility of the girl, who was the daughter of the worm apostle Count, comming back to haunt us and dragging on the story even further. However, she still is very young.
    @Harold –> I think that Gutz will def. have to kill the godhand. It is all gutz thinks about. it is part of the huge reason he is still fighting. Also, caska is retarded she doesnt know what griffith did to her, so I can’t say that Caska actually hugged him, and if she DID, it was probably only because she feels the old son she used to have in him. Could you imagine the berserk world in which gutz just kills griffith and lets the godhand go? wtf. thats half the plot wasted.

  116. Ice Says:

    make no mistake – Guts will go ape-rampage-berserk-kill-everything-in-my-path-mode in his new armor, completely transform into a mother B of a monster, and will face each one of Griffith’s friends. and waste them. and then an epic battle with griffith’s flaming tail will pursue. and Guts will p0wn him again. then caska will magically get her memory back, and Guts will then proceed to bone her. end of story.

  117. Harold Says:

    i think that’s all just wishful thinking. right now, i don’t see a happy ending coming to this manga. i’m always afraid that some time in the future everyone is going to die again in another eclipse.

  118. InterRage Says:

    I believe you can only get away with the one true eclipse in that era. With the second one being a mock eclipse and no main characters dying, it won’t ever happen again.

  119. krazyivan Says:

    Yeah right, after the epic battle between two most powerful demonic forces stay tuned to see how Gutts gets attacked by a little girl – using a army of evil puppies! that would be just lame ;)

  120. jarole Says:

    The saga of Berserk is definitely a Tragedy, not a Comedy. In Comedy everyone gets married in the end. This does not mean that Tragedy doesn’t have humerous elements. In Tragedy, a lot of people die at the end. Obviously the latter fits with Berserk. It’s hard imagining Guts living on a peaceful life into old-age after he defeats all of his enemies. He is an extremely dire character that harbors a lot of personal evils, hate, and drive. He WILL get his fucking revenge, and because he has given so much of himself to his hate–his berserk side and the black dog(his revenge and id)–there will be a price to pay. Thus I believe that he most likely will fall in the final battle, or shortly after.

    Guts was born of a dead mother’s womb–marked(also in many other ways throughout the story). It would be appropriate that he die in a great climactic battle in the end. The fact that a man stood up for his own dreams and dared challenge to bring down a god is inspiring and beautiful in itself.

  121. InterRage Says:

    With Guts being out of commission, Azan will take his place and get together with Caska. Both of Guts mothers will come back from the dead and marry Griffith, making guts the step son of his nemesis/child. That’ll spice things up.

  122. GiLgAmEsH Says:

    The RAW is out!!!

  123. BerserkBerserk Says:

    First @ Ice -> dude, nice termonology. I couldn’t have said it better. idk. maybe. But that is definently how Guts is gonna have to do this. A full throtal assault on the band of the hawk and the godhand.
    @ Harold – > I feel that there has already been way too much tradgedy for a grim ending. Otherwise this was useless. All of the pages were worthless. We get a sense that if we work hard enough and continue getting back up even if we can barely stand or breathe we will suceed. If guts were to die or lose everything, then this plot makes no sense unless miura were going through some sort of depressive psychosis. And if he is, he better not let it affect his work = ) In short, Guts’ attitude and methods wouldn’t go with an ending that contradicts himself as a character.
    @ InterRage -> that would make griffith a necropheliac. which i wouldn’t put past the guy. this guy is totally warped and demented. That, or he is just a puny douche

  124. Phireo Says:

  125. guren no kishi Says:

    The 298 raw is out.
    21 pages with minimal dialogue and awesome art.
    :)
    Next, November 14.

  126. krazyivan Says:

    I was really counting on this 42page gossip to be true. ;(

  127. Marte Says:

    IMO, things are going more or less like this :
    There’s the black hawk of destruction and the white hawk of salvation. Peoples are usually stupid, so if they see someone beatiful and white they consider it the good one and if they see someone dark/black and somewhat bad-looking, they consider it the bad one. So basically we’ve gone from the white hawk/griffith and the black swordsman/Guts, to the actually black hawk of destruction/griffith and the white “let’s say hawk” of salvation/Guts(notice also his hair are becoming white!). Obviously in the Berserk world(and in reality too!), the good ones are not saints, but still they suffer, they feel pain, they feel human emotions(notice Guts’ reactions when he had to kill all those kids who had become pirkaf/monsters), they bleed and sacrifice themselves for those they love, fighting against their demonic(human) instincts.(instead of those who give up and sacrifice their humanity and their feelings, becoming true demons). Remember what Jill said after Guts left her : “He vanished into the darkness. After all, until it was over, I didn’t understand what kind of man he was. When he showed that to me, I realized that he carried the evil with him….But the mist is burning off. The mist had never vanished before. But now the blazing sun is clearing it away. And now all that remains is the clear sky. It’s nothing like the sky Roshinu flew me through. The sight didn’t make my heart dance. It was brutal and lonely and cold, but the sky was so vivid. It was as if the storm had blown itself out, leaving just the clear sky.”
    That’s what Guts will probably do. He won’t give humanity a stupid Eden, but he will free it from the pure evil.

  128. BerserkBerserk Says:

    guren no kishi where and how can I obtain these chapter 298 raws? think you could send me a link to the raws you have or something like that?
    @Marte – > I agree.

  129. Marte Says:

    Just read the raw. Well, what can I say, the art is great like always, but the chapter is really poor of contents. After all this wait, I give it 4/10!

  130. Marte Says:

    @BerserkBerserk : I can post a link, but I don’t know if this goes against some policy of this site.

  131. BerserkBerserk Says:

    @Marte -> What is your policy? And are you serious about this raw not having alot of good content? After all this wait, too. What the fuck >_<

  132. make money money Says:

    i think griffith will actually wind up being portrayed as the good guy after he kills ganishka and guts is going to have to deal with this baggage of wanting to kill the man who brought midland out of the ‘dark ages’ and into a renaissance so to speak. i also think caska is going to get better and she is going to complicate things by following in guts’ camp but still having the motherly bond going with griffith.

    the whole manga is still probably a decade from being finished, but i think after ch. 300 things are going to start coming full circle. that’s probably why these chapters are slowing down…i think miura wants to make sure the art is perfect and that the storyboard comes together as dramatically as possible without any loose ends. i also think the time has kind of passed on guts’ massacring and bloodlust like in the eras post-eclipse up until now. i don’t understand why people think every chapter that comes out is going to turn out liek this. i’d go so far as to say he has a few epic fights left in him and thats it.

  133. make money money Says:

    also, with griffith now being portrayed in a positive light, miura is going to be more reluctant to write about his character and kind of put his in guts’ spotlight for a little bit. i’d definitely bet that the next 3 or 4 volumes are going to be focused on griffith (and the neo band of the hawks) and his rise to power and guts and elfheim will kind of become the side story.

  134. make money money Says:

    “less reluctant to write about his character and kind of put him in guts’ spotlight” is what i meant. sorry for the triple post :(

  135. don Says:

    wtf it wasnt 42 pages, well at least its something

  136. Marte Says:

    @BerserkBerserk: Sorry for the lae answer, but I went to sleeep. I’m serious, but that’s just my point of view. Anyway, I don’t know if there’s a problem about posting direct links to raws here, but at least I can tell you, if you still need the raw, that you can find it through this search engine : http://rs.4chan.org/

  137. guren no kishi Says:

    @BerserkBerserk: sorry, but I won’t post links to external sites. It’s very easy to find though, if you follow the manga scene and scanlation in general. The places where to grab raws and the likes are always the same :)
    @about the 42 pages rumor. It’s not a rumor, it really said 42 new pages on the Young Animal web site Berserk page. BUT you all know that the japanese language can be misinterpreted quite easily. So, yes, 42 new pages BUT not all togetheter in one chapter. That’s why the next episode comes out so close (well…). Let’s hope in the meantime Miura drew some more so we can enjoy even another chapter for November 28. It’s a veeeeery faint hope though.

    Btw, I wonder how many of you will enjoy the extra cover that Umino Chika drew for the 33rd volume of Berserk. It’s kinda “cute” but cute is not something that goes along with Berserk and the monsters lurking on its pages, doesn’t it? Still it’s a nice bonus.

  138. BerserkBerserk Says:

    @Marte -> Thanks alot for posting the link, however, in light of Guren no kishi’s policy I won’t check out the site. Too bad about the new chapter release , huh?

    @Guren no kishi -> as I said above I won’t check the link.

    Alright, wow, I was sure that once the new chapter came out things would start looking good. damn it. What is going on with Berserk? Can’t wait for the english translation. Gutz must have his revenge.

  139. Ripper Says:

    The next issue will be out 14 of november!!!!I am about to read the new one in a couple of minutes another group have translate the 298 chapter!sorry I cannot wait this site to publish it but I ll read it again as soon as you get the work done .you are the best og evil genius!! ^^

  140. thedude Says:

    I just read the new chapter and i must say im a little upset.

  141. BerserkBerserk Says:

    @thedude, the way you feel about the new chapter times 3 and thats how I feel. very disapointed.

    In other news, The ganishka fight is finally beginning. The fight has ensued. Now all we have to do is……wait it out and see who wins. And there better be a winner….one must die….one must die…..

    At least we have this awesome evil genius website. Thanks again for helping us through our addiction.

  142. Harold Says:

    i broke my BWS (Berserk Waiting Syndrom) about a month or two ago so i wasn’t too disapointed. it was about the same length and development as the rest of the updates this year. very little.

  143. krazyivan Says:

    please- no spoilers! I’m waiting for the EG translation

  144. InterRage Says:

    I’ve seen the other translation of 298, and I’d rather have some coherent dialogue.

  145. thedude Says:

    i agree with u interrage. i dont want to just look at pictures.

  146. RedSamurai Says:

    Although I’m sure everyone will probably be somewhat disappointed as to how much they waited to have little (actually very little) story development. But as ‘Harold’ said, it’s not something we’re not already used to :)
    Although I’m saying that, I actually haven’t read the new chapter yet (waiting for EG’s like always), and still hope that it’ll bring back the addiction that started fading out after 5+ cruel months of wait.
    And one more thing… Enough with Ganishka-Griffith, we WANT Gatsu for god’s sake!!

  147. InterRage Says:

    “This is…”

    No more “this is..” please.
