    Awesome as always. Thanks EG!

    By the way, is Zodd’s two horns growing into one since he had one of them cut off? Seems the right one has grown. Maybe he’s turning into a demon unicorn? ;D

16. Ahmed Says:
    November 15th, 2008 at 1:29 pm

    @ultra lucky: lol for some reason “Unicorn” just sounded like Fairy to me…LMAO Zodd the fairy

    I think the reason very few downloaded/commented is coz they didn’t expect it and probably opened the link by accident (like me; pressed the bookmark by mistake)

    Thanks EG <3

    maybe miura has been working a bit this whole summer…
    and yeah… zodd’s right horn does appear to have changed its size and even it’s position and orientation but I guess it’s only about putting emphasis on it.. dunno

    Actually in the 31 volume when Guts ride on a Zodd we can already see that the horn is bigger then the other one. So I don’t think it is a mistake. But then it is strange that when he got 2 horns they were equal…

    Anyway thanks EG for the great work.

    Neeeeh, don’t pay attention to what I said… I’m probably still under the emotion
    Woohoo!!

49. Reginald_P_Funkenstein_The_Third Says:
    November 17th, 2008 at 10:35 pm

    I know that almost everyone wants to see Caska fall right into the crew when she is healed (I’m guessing and hoping Miura will cure her), however,I would almost like to see an antipathic Caska; I could picture Caska not trusting and despising everyone other than Guts, choosing to go lone wolf for a while (maybe, just maybe, a little carried away with vengeance, kind of like Guts was) and build her ability much like Guts did at the start of the manga.

    It would be oddly satisfying to see a fiercely empowered Caska that needn’t depend on Guts. From time to time Miura could have the two cross paths, awing each other with their progress, savoring some time together until the “Happy End” where they can retire together on some beach, or Vritanis, or whatever floats their frigate.

50. Reginald_P_Funkenstein_The_Third Says:
    November 17th, 2008 at 10:50 pm

    Heh, at first I thought that that telepathic projection was in fact the crowd’s simultaneous opinion of itself (completely bad English on my part). That should have been a caption, kind of like those inspirational pictures with the word and profound sentence like

    Stupid

    The realization after all this time that you’ve been manipulated like a marionette by Mr. Perfect.

51. Ice Says:
    November 17th, 2008 at 11:35 pm

    on a side note, for all those die-hard Berserk fans out there – check out Claymore (if you haven’t already). Both the anime and manga. I think you’ll like.

52. jarole Says:
    November 18th, 2008 at 12:01 pm

    Claymore was good until it became repetetive: gain power, have a long-ass fight with a big-ass monster, gain more power, fight with monster, trade stupid quips about how they are going to kick each other’s asses, monster dies.

    Not enuff info on main character any more imo.

53. Anonymous Says:
    November 18th, 2008 at 1:24 pm

    The manga is worth it. Anime, after a certain episode, stops following manga, and ends in failure.

    Actually, the main plot should be showing up now, the origins of youma and such.

54. ultra lucky cat Says:
    November 18th, 2008 at 4:52 pm

    Claymore…i read it too and it’s enjoyable enough but it’s not among my favorites. The main problem with it is that all characters look so alike that i forget who is who by the time the next chapter is out. All claymores look like the same mannequin with a different wig.

    And unlike the characters in for example Berserk the claymores and youma’s don’t have much personality either so the story never really gets emotional in any way.

55. Lara Skadi Says:
    November 18th, 2008 at 6:17 pm

    woosh! really quick this one – and the next one too!! Is Miura sick or something? Maybe he’s doing like he did on March, releasing 3 chapters a month and then get a big break by june u.u Well, I really really hope it’s not the case again XD

    Thanks EG!! You guys rock!!!

56. Phireo Says:
    November 18th, 2008 at 11:39 pm

    Well, 28th of November… new chapter and probably the last one in some time… as it said… there are 42 new pages of Berserk!! They said at YA, so… counting the 30 that are already out… next chapter’s gonna be 12 pages long! Well, at least Miura-sensei has got 8 weeks for drawing a new chapter!

    While for Ultra Lucky Cat: Claymore is one of the few manga I am following now, and I must say it’s turning to be quite pretty, much better to the average fantasy manga out there (Berserk, rightly said, being far above average), but I’d recommend you Angel Densetsu, Claymore’s artist(Norihiro Yagi)’s previous work, although the artwork is pretty cheap, its story is really good and original!

    Hope the wait won’t last long!!

    Woha! This was FAST… Sadly, I bet after the next chapter we won’t have Berserk for about half a year…

    And… I also would love to see Caska healed and becoming a proper warrior… however, I don’t think Miura will heal her properly… perhaps, she will only regain her memories of those days where she adored Griffith and despised Gutts (bringing another low blow at poor Gutts…)

59. monsieur Says:
    November 19th, 2008 at 6:19 am

    you’re right Miura is hyperactive lately.. I hope this keeps up

    I highly recommend Angel Densetsu too. It’s by far the funniest manga I’ve ever read… at least until vol 11 or so, when it becomes a little repetitive.

    wow, yeah, um, i mean, i love berserk, it’s my favorite.. all i was saying was check out claymore if you haven’t seen it yet, you know, while waiting for more berserk.

    and Claymore has a MT ranking of #1 on mangatraders.com, by the way.. just throwing that out there.

62. Reginald_P_Funkenstein_The_Third Says:
    November 19th, 2008 at 11:45 pm

    If I had to rank the quality of the three manga, 1 being best and 3 being 3rd best:

    1. Berserk

    2. Vinland Saga

    3. Claymore

    Vinland Saga features a very impressive art style with a good storyline/setting which isn’t as grandiose or as masterfully composed as Berserk, but it’s nice for long runs without Berserk. Not to say that there ever are such instances though, goodness knows we hardly go a week without a release from Miura.

    Claymore just leaves a lot to be desired, though it is a close runner up to Vinland Saga. Claymore doesn’t possess the rich storyline, doesn’t explore the world with such intensity or show show such detail in the finer, more immediate events of the story. As far as the art of the manga goes, it’s indeed detailed and beautiful, suiting the needs of the manga well, yet it seems impossible to find another art style so rich and detailed.

    Nevertheless, Claymore is a high quality manga; it’s competition is just hard to compete with.

    Hah, i made a fav list elsewhere, so now i can copy-paste it and terrorize people for all eternity!

    Manga

    1. Berserk
    2. Ubel Blatt
    3. Vinland Saga
    4. Blame!
    5. Vagabond
    6. Blade of the Immortal
    7. Gantz
    8. Battle Angel Alita (Gunnm)
    9. Zetman
    10. Battle Royale
    11. Biomega
    12. Eden
    13. Shamo
    14. Claymore

    Manwha

    1. Dangu
    2. Chunchu
    3. Banya
    4. Jackals

    I guess the only thing all these have in common are that they are violent and gory. But i don’t seem to share much of the common manga taste that many people like. I strongly dislike Death Note, One Piece, Bleach etc…

65. Anonymous Says:
    November 20th, 2008 at 7:48 am

    “Red Eyes”.

    That’s just plain pwnage.

    But yes, I’ve seen almost every manga on that list (except for number 8 , 10 and 12) and expect to read at least Battle Royale in the near future.

    When I say “seen”, I mean I’ve seen up to the most recent chapter, of course.

    About Manwha, just Chunchu and Jackals.

    I like all of them (the ones I saw, obviously), though I do enjoy Death Note, One Piece, Bleach, and yes, even Naruto.

    Actually, I also read some Shoujo from time to time.

    I guess I’m not that tight about what I like or not.

66. ultra lucky cat Says:

    Oh, right, I forgot.

    Might as well mention some I’ve been reading.

    Tough (martial arts, both season 1 and 2 are still incomplete, but S2 rocks)

    Veritas (manwha, pretty nice, started recently, martial arts of course)

    HSD Kenichi (yup. The lulz, I do it for them. Seriously, it’s quite nice, though not very dark as you’ll imagine)

    Oh, and I’ve read Ultra Red (it’s complete), which is also pretty nice, also martial arts as main theme.

    wow. seems like people has some definite views on their manga here. But after berserk, only so few have been able to captivate me. But I dont think anyone cares to know about my tastes so I’ll just say again that Berserk is my number 1 and thank you Evil Genius for being such a genius and sharing berserk with all of us.

72. Blacksoth Says:
    November 20th, 2008 at 10:50 pm

    Some good ideas for new titles to read (I’m seriously going to read Vinland Saga now).

    Do you guys all read nothing but the gory manga (not that there’s anything wrong with that.. I’ve read most of the titles mentioned)?

    I also like to branch out into other stuff. My criteria is that it’s “seinen”. I’m not into the childish stuff, although I don’t hate it.

    Take a look at “My Balls” (currently subbed by Strays). It’s an ecchi manga about a guy who will destroy the world… if he ejaculates (I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried). I find myself laughing out of the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

73. Ice Says:

    That’s Sonia, a member of Griffith’s army with mind-reading abilities that is obviously in love with Griffith. I’ve been thinking: might she be the female Godhand(whose name i forget) in disguise?

    Holy shit, haven’t you read Berserk? If not, why the hell are you comenting here???
    sheesh….

    by the way, she’s that hot woman with black wings (the only one, that is) that appears with the other Godhands ¬¬

    @ultra lucky
    Of course not! That sounds just…. useless. Why would Slan do such a thing?
    If she incarnated she’d do better stuff than adoring Griffith, such as raping, having sex and torturing all the time hahah(as it’s obvious she’s the angel of desire n enjoys these stuffs a lot, while Femto’s the “angel of dreams” as they call it….)
    Now, seriously, no way…

78. ultra lucky cat Says:
    November 21st, 2008 at 4:12 pm

    You’re probably right, but she does seem to have a higher purpose or some agenda. And is she really evil? Guess we’ll have to waaaaaaaaait and see.

    With the blazingly fast speed Berserk comes out, and since I re-read the series every week, I’m suprised at how I could forget something like that. Seriously.

    Actually, what I wasn’t understanding was “Godhand”, since I remember them by another name (since I used to read Berserk in another language)

81. BerserkBerserk Says:
    November 22nd, 2008 at 11:50 am

    If you ask me the God hand all have their own agenda that corelates with the essance of destiny and casualty. Slan likes to screw with people mentally, painfully, and sexually, Void lieks to control people’s fate, and those otehr two seem to be more like watchers who like to stand to the side and see destiny unfold while still playing a part in something higher then themselves.

82. Dude23 Says:
    November 22nd, 2008 at 1:36 pm

    Oy, I should either re-read the series or find a summary. I can’t remember as the subtleties.

83. Lara Skadi Says:
    November 22nd, 2008 at 2:29 pm

    In some of those chapters where the disgrace of Midland recently is shown there’s a pile of deads with rats walking between, they group and form Conrad’s shape, (or it might be Ubrik’s? Can’t remember quite now). So he’s probably with the essence of deseases, misery (in every aspect of it, I guess) and alike… I don’t reckon seing the other one taking part on anything.

    And I don’t think Sonia is evil, even knowing what Griffith’s doing, she has a whole different view about it other than ours, that see him as the fucker who screwed his own friends… That she’s there for a higher purpose, that’s just expected as well

84. BerserkBerserk Says:
    November 22nd, 2008 at 9:10 pm

    @ Lara -> yeah, What is up with Sonia? Does she finally realise that Griffith is not what he claimed to be? She did yell out “Idiots”/ “Stupid” really loud. Was it in retaliation towards the criticism of the others, or was it in anger towards Griffith’s Demon army? She knew about the demons before right? SHe did walk amongst them with Mule that one time.

85. Mad Pete Says:
    November 23rd, 2008 at 9:59 am

    Sonia is just a child who can’t understand a thing from what’s going on. Hopefully Isidoro(or Drop, Isidrop, Isidro, his name changes every chapter) will impale her in any way you can imagine, before he do Silk(or Shriek or Shrek lol)

86. BerserkBerserk Says:
    November 24th, 2008 at 12:03 am

    haha actually, I would like to see droppy/Isidro get impaled by Gutz’s sword then have Gutz bang caska, sheriek, Farnese, Sonia, and then Princess Charlotte with a bloody griffith corpse as a stool. And I’d be there watching in the background laughing laughing laughing. Probably later on I’d play cards with Puck

87. Mystyc Vegeta Says:
    November 24th, 2008 at 6:19 am

    Honestly, I see a resemblance between Sonia and Caska in the way they try to protect Griffith. About Caska, that is obvious, just think of the way she told Guts that she won’t let him destroy Griffiths dream and generally her atitude in the first part of the manga, and in Sonias case, this is the first example: the rather violent way she reacts at the others thaught that Griffith

88. Lara Skadi Says:
    November 24th, 2008 at 10:15 am

    BLASPHEMY! How can you want to see them getting impaled O.O Kill him!!! >.< hehe
    (And it’s official. It’s Schierke and Isidro – it’s been said so in the mangas ¬¬)

    That “stupid!” thing, I don’t reckon it’s a criticism towards Griffith, but towards what people might be thinking about him and the demon troops… Like a “he’s doing the right thing!!”. She’s been aware of them since the begining and she worships him, like Casca did. I just can’t see any of them turning against him for a think like that (the former Casca, I mean)

    Oh, c’mon, that little girl had a dream and has no idea who Griffith really is and go on parroting bullshit of ducks falcons and owls… It would be nice see Guts killing Griffith in front of her…

    Of course she has an ideal Griffith in her mind, but this Griffith DOES “accepts” (and uses) inhuman stuff, what she doesn’t care about. Actually, she seems to be comfortable about it… Sooo she thinks she’s doing the right thing
    That it’d be nice to see Guts killing him in front of her, sure it would… But I guess she’d know already before seing it before her eyes O.o
    What I’d like to see was Charlotte recognizing Guts and Casca and greeting them without knowing the truth behind everything (and discovering later hohoho)….

    Finally! I waited a looong time for this moment! But somehow I`m not really that blown by the relevation, like the rest of you guys seem to be.

    I`d love to see the humans turn their backs on Griffith, but I honestly don`t see it happen.

    I anticipate the moment someone kicks Griffiths ass. Anbody knows what happened with the child with inhuman powers that Guts and Co met at some beach? Caska kinda adopted it and then it vanished…

    In any case, I think it will be a looooooooooooong time before Guts kills Griffith. I can’t see it happening before he has taken care of all of Griffiths minions, the other 4 Godhands, and probably 5000 more minions that appear along the way.

    I guess Griffith will defeat Ganishka soon, become the hero of the land, marry the princess and become ruler supreme. Then Guts will have a whole empire hunting him as well as all the demons. The only possiblities of this not happening might be if Ganishka defeats Griffith (highly unlikely) or if Sonia kills the princess in a fit of jealousy (more likely)

    Ok enough rambling for today, but i hope for some more plot and story soon.

93. Lara Skadi Says:
    November 24th, 2008 at 6:08 pm

    But you really think HE will be able to kill the 4 GH n all apostles? Hum… He rather kill only Griffith and some of his apostles, if most (’cause gathered as they are now it’s even worse) and get himself killed in the way :S
    Well.. who knows? ^^

    Fortunately, guess with the defeat of Ganishka big stuff will happen to the story (I want Casca back sooon!!!! >.<)

94. Mad Pete Says:
    November 24th, 2008 at 7:25 pm

    Of course it gonna take a lot of time to Guts kill Griffith.. I’m guessing it will be in about 20 years from now, but maybe I’m being too optmistic… Any body wanna bet?

     don’t even say such a thing O.O (though I often worry about that too)
     I’m really afraid of dying before I acomplish things – such as finishing reading Berserk… – And what if HE died before??? Ó.Ò You know, the man lives like a bat and he’s already in his 40′s… more 20 years and he’s 60 n a little. Wonder if his age n state of mind would mean big changes in the story…

     that’d be a great scene too
     Even though it’d give me heart attack, I’d like to see Guts hurting (badly) Casca while berserk hehe (she shouldn’t die, though… I wouldn’t accept it :s)

103. Harold Says:
     November 25th, 2008 at 7:00 pm

     maybe… miura’s age is affecting him somewhat and it’s because he’s going through some changes in his life (whatever they may be) that he is struggling to continue with this dark story line. thus the long breaks.

104. Lara Skadi Says:
     November 25th, 2008 at 9:49 pm

     well, maybe he’s just in the mood for it (with no paralel stuff happaning to his actual life), or the story has reached the point where it’s impossible not to be like it.

105. BerserkBerserk Says:
     November 25th, 2008 at 10:57 pm

     Dude, gutz will try to avoid the actual godhand as much as possible and would only like to just kill griffith. But idk. The godhand are everywhere and will def. try to stop guts from killing their prince of darkness. And who knows how much of a help the Elf King will be. The Elf King might give them the uber key to destroying the godhand or maybe be able to transport them straight to Griffith. After all, how the hell is Gutz supposed to find Griffith? Storm midland? That’d be awesome.

106. Lara Skadi Says:
     November 26th, 2008 at 12:02 am

     Well, I don’t think the GH are so worried about protecting each other like that. If Guts’ got to challenge Griffith, it’s his fate to do so, they’d think (not quite untrue…). But if Guts could, I guess he’d pretty much enjoy killing them all.
     Also, there’s no point on giving us false hopes and tips about what the elf king might do, it’s just not Miura’s style. If he just transported them back to griffith it’d be a REAL waste of time and plot. Guts’s not ready to beat him too, he’s not strong enough and the scenario is not set up, he and Casca must see hat he attained afterall with their own eyes (by that time, anywhere they go will be Griffith’s territory anyway…)

     That chapter was kick ass, and new one in 2 days wiii, really hoping that Miura doesn’t take another break cuz already know it’d be long :/

     And the only manga I can compare with Berserk is “Shin Angyo Onshi”

108. Gattts Says:
     November 26th, 2008 at 12:14 pm

     That was a badass chapter, and a new one in just 2 days wiii, really hoping that Miura doesn’t take a long break again cuz no doubt that it will take forever :/

     And the only manga I can even compare with Berserk is “Shin Angyo Onshi” (b’-')b

109. Harold Says:
     November 26th, 2008 at 6:50 pm

     the elf king may give guts a choice of being transported to griffith when griffith is at his weakest moment because he just fought ganishka, or curing caska.

     No, I wasn’t saying you were the one giving false hopes ^^ I said that if Casca wasn’t healed and if anything happened at all at Elfhelm, all Miura’s been doing would be giving false hopes…
     Anyway I still don’t see the Elf King being able to “teletransport” (or something like that) anyone. I suppose he has the same abilities as normal elves, but stronger.

113. arsecrab Says:
     November 27th, 2008 at 4:36 pm

     I have a niggling suspicion that the lesser apostles (the ugly monster-like ones) are going to be sacrificed in battle, so that when everything is all said and done, you’re left with Griffith and his knight apostles. From his ascension to God hand to his rebirth, each event was a violent destruction of life in an order to progress his ambitions.

     Would probably makes Gut’s job easier ;p

114. RedSamurai Says:

     The big day is coming again (Tomorrow) so yaaaaay!!!
     I know it’s very unlikely, but I would love the battle to end in this chapter, or that the story switches back to Gatsu-tachi… But yeaaaah, I know it won’t be either of them

     Anyway, it’s still GREAT to have been able to witness some steady release pace.
     I know it’s gonna sound strange, but do you know how I read the chapter? I open the ‘next issue’ page FIRST, and check the release date and only after that I read the chapter from the beginning *really?? what’s wrong with that guy o.O*

     I don’t know if anyone else has asked, or for that matter answered this question, so I will humbly ask that you excuse me for throwing it into the mix.

     What, or who, comprises this Studio GAGA that I see in association Miura? Is this merely printing/formatting assistance or are they actually acting as co-producers/artists/writers of the manga? I was under the impression that Miura, and only Miura, was running the show.

     On a side note, it’s almost too bad that there aren’t any plans for a anime continuation to Berserk if for no other reason than the Miura interview that would likely come with it; I’d like to see what sources he is using for further inspiration for the plot of Berserk.

     Thanks to Evil Genius for the speedy translations!

     My hunches/expectations: Puck is in some way related to the Elf King. Casca either gets her memory back or is killed. Also, i’m getting sick of Casca’s single memory being Guts trying to rape her while possessed and acting scared/angry with him all the time, even while he’s saving their asses. Silatt and his bakiraka will join Gats, having seen Ganishka for the demon he is. Farnese and Roderick will get it on. Oh by the way, you know Griffith can’t touch Gats right? because he offered him as a sacrifice he can’t hurt him. Anyways, they all get along fine until Gats’ armor takes over him, he kills eveyone in his party and then Griffith, the end!

     Reginald, an artist’s studio will typically help drawing the panels and maybe designs of some characters (if you look closely whenever you see masses of townsfolk, you can occasionally see another artist’s style on someone’s head). Most manga would take forever to draw alone, so assistants help quite a bit with it… but they are acting under Miura’s direction. The editor probably helps with the content, though.

     I’m sure each studio is different, though, so don’t take this as absolute truth. But it does generally seem to be the case.

     November 28th, 2008 at 5:27 pm

     About the Griffith-Gatsu touch story (I don’t mean it that way ), it’s quite interesting in fact… I’m not sure whether it’s really the case or not, can’t remember much about that, however even if it’s the case, there’s still a loooooong horde of “bodyguards” he’ll have to beat before having to clash swords with Griffith. And, we’re at least sure that he can “touch” those, since he already did with Zodd when fighting the emperor if I remember well.

123. Mad Pete Says:
     November 28th, 2008 at 5:39 pm

     Hey, Poke, from where you take Griffith can’t hurt Gatts? When they first met after the eclipse Griffith throws Gatts downstair. I know it was with his mind, but all the same, I can’t remind had read anything suggesting this in the manga

124. Lara Skadi Says:
     November 28th, 2008 at 9:14 pm

     Yeah, this “touch” thing just doesn’t make sense at all. He can’t hurt him because he offered him to die (on his benefit, I might add)? What I know is that if Guts approaches Griff, he’ll feel unbearable pain, that’s all…
     (shit, I want #300 already!!!)

125. Pokes Says:
     December 1st, 2008 at 6:32 am

     My inference of this fact comes from my general understanding of the whole plotline but I can try and be specific. Firstly though, why do you think Flora was so happy to meet the branded two? Why do you think that the skull knight, keeps saving Guts? Notice how Flora and the skull knight are old friends? Even though Flora guarded the armor for presumably a very long time, and taught Schierke to fear and beware it’s power, she gives it to Gats in an instant. If you hyaven’t figured it out yet, flora and the skull knight played the roles Gats and Schierke are now. Skull knight owned the armor, was friends/partners with a magic user and shitkicks apostles/attempts to kill and defy the evil godhands. Like Gats will innevitably be, as his own visions as well as Flora foretell, Skull knight fought vs apostles/godhands until he was consumed by the armor. From the world of the dead, he’s still trying to meddle in the godhands work by preventing the next apocalypse of the living (saving gats from the eclipse). Why else do you think he saved him? Out of respect and admiration for his badass fighting skill? No, he might have taken the chance bc Gats’ skill showed him he was capable of walking the same path he did, but he did it bc only a surviving sacrifice from that very being’s physical conception, can kill the supreme astral being, the fifth angel incarnate. Yeah our ol pal Griffith.
     On to the specifics: in volume 22, ch. 4 when he meets griffith on the hill of swords and fights zodd, yes griffith does let zodd fight him, but he shields caska from harm when the duel poses a threat to her,and then, after realizing his very presence is causing her pain (because of her brand and proximity to him), he tells zodd they have to go. Now it could be for sentimental reasons he saved caska but hey, he did rape her last time they hung out so who knows…but until then he was enjoying the fight, and we know from the eclipse and him raping caska that he never had a problem with hurting her before, so I can’t imagine why else he chose to leave then unless it’s some odd coincidence.
     Also, notice how Ganishka wasn’t the only one who tried to defy godhand Griffith? Zodd lost his horn trying not to bow down; he liked things the way they were, him peerless on a battlefield. As Ganishka tells in his mobile fortress, when Griffith confronts him face to face, if Griffith touches you, you lose your will to oppose him. Zodd may have lost his will to oppose him but Zodd also chooses not to crush the black swordsman, his mortal enemy, after they team up vs ganiska even though Gats is all helpless and another apostle is pointing out the alarming apparent logic behind doing so. Zodd knows what’s up. He knows it doesn’t hurt to keep around the only guy who, as Gats just showed moments earlier by dipatching the intangible ganishka, can fuck with astral powerhouses.
     Volume 24, ch 6: Staying at Flora’s, Gats and she talk and then schierke complains to Flora, afterwards, about how pointless it is for Gats to oppose the godhands, particularly griffith (“the hawk of darness written in the apocalypse”!!!), flora tells her cheerfully that the hawk is also the one who branded Gats and then there’s a monster exclamation point!!! next panel what does schierke say in a suddenly optimistic tone? “So that means it can’t…!” Umm hello ppl? Did you guys sleep on this? Miura isn’t going to come out and say it completely, give him some credit. But you are supposed to fill in the blank with “..harm him!” yes that’s right. And the whole talk she has afterwards, flora is basically telling the sheltered schierke who until then had a low esteem of the human world, that maybe it’s worth saving. Her question to schierke about what this experience means to her, is asking her if seeing these ppl has opened her mind to the worth of the human world and whether she’ll play Flora’s one time role of saviour to them.
     Another point, why the hell else do you think Griffith is looking for all the magic users in the realm? Because, however remote the chance, they pose a small threat to him because of the cosmic slip up that was Gats and Caska surviving the eclipse. Because of the fact that gats can’t be hurt by him and yet, thanks to all the astral beings he’s slayed, can probably harm griffith, Gats is the only possible hope to prevent the imminent apocalypse.

     Also, the more I read vol 24, the more I am convinced puck is going to become an apostle. It’s not a coincidence that he takes the beheit away when gats tries to give it to flora. She had just said that if you’re it’s owner, you can’t get rid of it, it will always find you. Well, gats doesn’t want it, no one else in the party seems to want it. Unless Miura is a meanie and plans on making caska some crazy branded apostle that gats has to kill in self-defense, which pushes him over the edge and lets him succumb to the beast in the armor, thereby massacring everyone in his party as countless prophecies foretell, I can’t see puck not becoming an apostle.
