    YEEESSSSS!!!!! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  2. Daiceman Says:

    I think most of us meant this chapter + 1 more, didn’t the poll go up after 316 was announced?

  3. arke Says:

    It was opened September 26th. I don’t remember when 316 was announced though.

  4. Legato Says:

    Thanks very much!
    Let’s hope there’ll be at least 2 more chapters this year!

  5. Onsight Says:

    Wow, I almost forgot Berserk existed.
    I’m glad it still does. Thanks so much!

  6. Petala Says:

    Damn! At last, now we wait for another chapter and wait some more for at least 2 month for the next chapter! But fcuk this manga is awesome! Really hard to be angry when it comes to BERSERK manga.

  7. Tynar Says:

    Love Miura’s comment at the end:
    And it’s true, if I were a 5-10 years younger, would I know the original anime?

  8. Ariel Says:

    Thank you very much!!

  9. meeeep Says:

    Berserk release best release.

  10. Slumber Says:

    Reading new Berserk is always an honor, thanks.

  11. cowl Says:

    NICE

    Berserk is the greatest!!!

    now if only it came out more than a few times a year. lol

  12. Fendo Says:

    Awesome!! finally more Berserk!!!! well two thing can happen, the first is if you in some point of your life know about this rare full of blood anime called Berserk and you watch it complete and in the end you get all WTF you WILL seach for the manga.
    the other thing is that you know about this awesome never ending manga called Berserk and while you get old waiting for the next chapter you find that actually there is an anime of this so in the meanwhile you watch it and said: “DAMN!! THAT MONSTER JUST HIT THEM WITH HIS OWN CUT ARM!! THAT’S HARDCORE!!” also you can say “man! that didn’t happen in the manga”
    so my friend Tynar the answer to your question is: yes, you can be 5-10 years younger and know about the original anime.

    pd: Kudos to hbi2k!!!
    pd2: thank you very much friends of E_G
    pd3: sorry for my bad english
    pd4: damn! to much writing xD

  13. OLDBOY1985 Says:

    waiting for a very long time

  14. bozo Says:

    omg, berserk, real berserk, I am not dreaming. I think I will read one page per day so it will last me until the next chapter. BIG THANKS.

  15. bozo Says:

    just kidding i already read it, not the patient type.

  16. CyberNinja Says:

    It’s about time!

    *seeding*

  17. Zannin Says:

    Thank you so much

    I can’t believe how long has it been I hope a new chapter comes soon.

  18. pickitcity Says:

    @ bozo LOL

    I loved this! The kid is back!!! But the whole kid/griffith thing is confusing. Whatever… there are still monsters and what will become of the mermaid! See you guys november!

  19. Hakou Says:

    *bows* I am not worthy! I am not worthy!

  20. Blazer Says:

    12 November eh? thats pretty nice. Anyway, doesnt Miura uses e-mail? i believe that the japanese writting about the thoughts and fellings is some kind of address right? wouldnt be easier to ALSO use an e-mail?

  21. Stele007 Says:

    Wow, really great job. These scans look top notch even though you said the raws were terrible.

  22. Risu Says:

    This chaptisode is far better than the other of the year.
    I really like the Kid/Griffith confusing thing.
    Miura’s imagination is all fired up now.
    And OMG that’s f*ckin’ good !

  23. guren no kishi Says:

    Thank you guys.

  33. Flipper Says:

    Very big thanks !

  34. buttobasu Says:

    AWESOME, thanks EG. Now if only we’d get more news on the anime… *waits in anticipation*

  35. black87 Says:

    I expect AT LEAST one more chapter in November. You know the day.

  36. Wakeupfrom1984 Says:

    Its cruel to read Berserk, you`re reading a manga, which is nearly as old as you, maybe older, and you have the feeling that you develop much faster than it does xD Dont die Miura, if u do i will invent a technique to suck the last picture of this story from ure brain, if its there xD
    Greetings, Happy Halloween and hail to EG from protesting Germany xD

  37. Spartan1590 Says:

    OMFG!

    I was waiting for it for such a long time!

    Thanks!

  38. Lee132 Says:

    THANK YOU!!!!! Evil Genius without you i would have perished a long time ago!!!!!! thank you for scanlating berserk for soooo long!!!!! now ill take another 3-4 year break before i start reading it again… see you guys in 4 years…. (sobs)!!!! BERSERK!!!!!!!! now i think ill go and pray to God(Kentaro Miura) to release more chapters..

  39. vashfanatic Says:

    Yes! This chapter even had some meat on it, bringing back a mysterious element that had disappeared into the background.

    Still need to see what Isma’s role is going to be. She might get added to Guts’ new band… but I’m wagering she’ll be dead soon. Anyone else want to guess?

  40. Rapi Says:

    Yay~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I’ve been waiting for this moment to come! I can’t wait to see the next chapter!!! Thank you so much EG! I was dead all morning because of stomachache but after I read the chapter I got up right away, full of energy, ate breakfast and was pretty lively for couple of hours! XD

    And by the way I voted for 3 chapters twice!!! I hope that I’m right about the fact that at least 3 chapters will come out and I hope I’m wrong and there will be 4 or more chapters! XD

  41. Thana Says:

    My guess is Isma gets a mermaid. Leaving her alone won’t be an option, but adding her to the group wouldn’t work either – if she stays useless as she is right now. Currently I don’t think Miura will let her die.

  42. thepeaguy Says:

    Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. New chapter.

  43. random berserk fan Says:

    Thanks for the excellent release Evil-Genius, much appreciated as always.

    And it was such an awesome chapter, too! Can’t wait for the next one… But take your sweet time when it comes out and deliver the usual E-G level of quality! (Seriously, who cares about speed when it comes to Berserk? Only extreme quality scanlations will do this manga justice. Comments about scanlation speed drive me mad, thankfully there aren’t any under this particular post…)

    More on-topic, I especially liked… Well, actually I liked every single page: Isidoro playing hero (and the usual humor), Isma being confused (will she become a member of the group?), Guts kicking ass, the whole group endangered by his inner demon… And I somehow managed to survive the cliffhanger at the end!

  44. Mukade Says:

    Thank you, EG, thank you very much. T_T I’m shedding tears of joy.

  45. Laberat Says:

    Best Halloween so far, thanks for the new chapter!

    I also think, that you should take your time and RL, everything else would be waste for this ..masterpiece.

  46. Schrananapuss Says:

    AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gats is saved by his son… genius twist!

    I love this manga!!

  47. Mr. America Says:

    Adding Isma to his group would add the element water. Wind (Serpico), Fire (Isidoro), Holy (Farnese), Darkness (Guts) are already in it. I’m wondering if Miura really wants to take this awesome manga to such a cliché level…
    Anyway, thanks for the GREAT release! See you … next year?

  48. Mr. America Says:

    Ah forgot. Schierke would resemble Earth.

  49. Morkar Says:

    OO shit great chapter, great graphic and great scanlation thank you EG!!

  50. superboi Says:

    Wow. Alot happened in this chapter. And everyone thought this was just filler. Looks like Gutts is going to learn how to control the armor on his own… either that, or the armor is going to take control of him. Either way it’s gonna be epic, and I can’t wait for the next release.

  51. vashfanatic Says:

    So a thought: Schierke says that the Berserker armor is getting stronger… another result of Griffith tearing down the walls between worlds? After a bit of a doldrum, I’m getting really excited about Berserk again — glad we get at least one more chapter before the end of the year.

  52. Thana Says:

    I guess it’s plain overusage… The affects of the armor are very similar to drugs, I think.

  53. Jumping-jaho-za-fart Says:

    They say absence makes the heart grow fonder……for the most part They’re WRONG.

  54. AV Says:

    berserk fiends shootin’ up tanight!

  55. DamnedBones Says:

    Thanks for the newest chapter, EG!

  56. DesertKnight Says:

    Thanks so much for you’re continued, and amazing work on Berserk. I’ve been reading it for years now, and you guys make sure that I stay current as I wait for the releases to be translated here in the US. Berserk itself, is most definitely the greatest fantasy comic/manga ever written. Possibly the best fantasy anything ever written…toss up either Berserk of The Dark Tower…can’t decide.

  57. breads Says:

    Many thanks!

  58. Qwerty Says:

    OMFG! this kind of news bring the most strong feelings to me. thak’s EG!

  59. pantaril Says:

    @51. vashfanatic: The stronger aura of berserker armor could be also caused by the full moon. I think that the armor has magical origin so it should be affected by such circumstances.

  60. Karas Says:

    At last, more BELSELK! Err, I mean BERSERK. Thank you EG!

  61. Atena Says:

    AMEN, ty so much 4 this beautiful translation. i love ya EG :)

  62. Fuze Says:

    *mouth-foam* Aaaaaglglglah, so satisfying x)

    Thanks for another great release, guys !

  63. Deso Says:

    So I didn’t know a new Berserk anime was coming out. God is good. Thanks for the chapter, too.

  64. Starnum Says:

    Wow great posts guys. I too am of the mind that it is the child of Guts and Casca that has once again reappeared to help them. It’s hard to say if it’s really the mutant baby spirit from before that lost it’s body in the psuedo-eclipse in Albion, but I think that event may have lead to him somehow getting a new more complete body. Honestly I hope Isma doesn’t join the group as a permanent member, but that really would allow her to fill the role of the water element, especially if she can become a mermaid. I’m not really sure I wanna see Miura go there, but we’ll see how it goes. Yeah this was a pretty sweet chapter though, and I’m also glad we’ll be getting at least one more before the end of the year. :)

  65. vashfanatic Says:

    @Starnum
    How about this: the body of their child became the basis for Griffith’s rebirth, but maybe what we’re seeing now is its soul…?

  66. vashfanatic Says:

    Oh, and while I’m at it, it’s been my long-standing theory that Griffith using their child in his rebirth will prove to be his Achilles heel. Please feel free to argue pros and cons.

  67. Bokar Says:

    After a while of 2-3 chaps being filler this knocks the Head off. thanks Miura , ill support you by buying all the manga.

  68. Mohammed Says:

    thanks a lot guys

  69. Soleyfir Says:

    I agree with you vashfanatic. Actually I don’t know if any of you here read Shin Angyo Onshi but there are lots of similarities between it and Berserk. And I wouldn’t be surprised to have the same plot occur in Berserk.

  70. Soleyfir Says:

    Err, forgot a word: the same plot twist

  71. Abomination Says:

    Great chapter, thanks guys.
    I think Isma will either join the group or die. Hope she doesnt die :D since can be quite hilarious at times.
    And I thşnk that the light body was a part of guts’ mind, psychology, concioussness, or whatever. It was probably triggered by seeing caska, wich reminded him of his past, happy days and all.

  72. pantaril Says:

    @vashfanatic: i agree, the mutaded child entering the egg of the new world was imo “the jump of the fish”, in other words something not caused by the law of causalty and it will play crucial role in the proccess of Guts defeating the Grifith. This is the reason, why Skullknight (or rather his sword) hesitaded to kill the egg of the world right before the eclipse in albion, when he had the chance.

    The egg of the world invited the mutaded Casca’s child into his body and said to him to have nice dream in the new world. The black haired child is imo the representation of this dream.

  73. Mr. America Says:

    Am I wrong, or did the kid come out during a full moon last time? If yes, then it may only be able to come out when its magic powers are at its highest?

    Also, I like that Kid=Soul theory from some post before =)

  74. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    thanks EG, great quality as always :D

  75. kumodoushin Says:

    Is it only me that has trouble connecting to the torrent site?

  76. IGrowPot Says:

    I think Griffith took only the body of Guts’ son, but not the spirit. Maybe after Ganishka explode it gained a body. And maybe in the process Griffith took away the evil that the Skull Knight said the child had become

  77. Rapi Says:

    I agree with IGrowPot! I’ve been thinking the same!

    But that’s not what I wanted to talk about. I’m in the middle of reading again the whole berserk manga and there’s something veeery wrong with the chronology of the events! O.o
    Ok… not the chronology but the times stated… I mean 1)Gut’s and Casca make sex… then the next day they go to save Griffith (or the days around that time because it said that three days later there appeared demons)
    2) ok…I don’t know how much time they’ve traveled till they reached the city of Midland but I don’t think it was more than 2 or 3 days
    3) they saved Griffith and I don’t think that there were again more than 2 or 3 days till the Eclipse (the ran non-stop fought with that dog demon and then Casca said that the band “will cross the border tonight and I don’t think they sat on that hill for 10 days)
    4)after the Eclipse it’s stated that Guts was unconscious for 4 days then he runs out of the cave, meets Skull Knight, then orders him to take him to where Casca is and then Casca gives birth to his child… so far it’s ok… and then Skull Knight says “Your woman has been bearing it for months” WTF???? How come??? anyway I’ll be glad to hear your opinions! Maybe I missed something important. :/

  78. Thana Says:

    As a matter of fact Caska gave birth to an embryo. She couldn’t have been pregnant for to long. You yourself said it: We don’t know how much time has been spent on the several journeys or while gathering the Hawks etc.

    So how come SK makes such a statement? My first question is: Is the translation correct? Could it be that several month is equivalent to “quiet a while”? As long as SK didn’t watch them while having sex he shouldn’t know how long Caska really was pregnant, so my guess is it was just a situational statement of him.

    An Embryo needs about 40 days to look human. When Caska gave birth it didn’t look human right away. It gained rapid growth though, maybe because of Femto’s demonic influence. If I had to guess I would say it was 20-30 days old. The embryo, that is…

  79. Hmm. Says:

    Rapi:

    You missed good translation. You should buy Dark Horse edition.

    Skull Knight: That girl was with child. That shapeless fetus, which was only just conceived was possessed by evil. Probably due to her sexual relations with the new Godhand.

  80. caoson Says:

    merci beaucoup

  81. Otto Hazori Says:

    Hey, I read the raw, and this translation has some small and big translation errors.

  82. tsubaimomo Says:

    @ Otto Hazori

    We’d be pleased to know the details, if you’d oblige us…

  83. vashfanatic Says:

    Fun facts on pregnancy!
    It takes more than a day, sometimes several, for sperm to even reach the eggs, implantation takes a little while after that.
    It takes 14 days for the cells of a developing blastocyte to actually differentiate (i.e. be programmed to eventually become certain parts of the body).
    It takes two full months to become a fetus, with developing organs etc.

    So… unless we had some really big time-lags in there, I think we can safely say the quasi-humanoid form was demonically-induced. I’d give the time lags altogether to maybe a few weeks, certainly not months.

  84. Karas Says:

    IGrowPot:
    “I think Griffith took only the body of Guts’ son, but not the spirit. Maybe after Ganishka explode it gained a body. And maybe in the process Griffith took away the evil that the Skull Knight said the child had become”

    No. Griffith took body and spirit. It’s still there deep inside Griffith. Why else would Griffith save Casca from the falling boulders at the hill of swords? It was the child that influenced Griffith to do so. If you reread those episodes Griffith hints at him still being there in him. He does this before and after saving Casca. Also, if it gained a body after Ganishka exploded then how do you explain the boy and figure of light that brought Gats back from going Berserk on the beach with the Kushan crocodiles encounter?

  85. Thana Says:

    Seems my first question was the right question :)
    If we consider #79′s post as correct the original SK statement was:
    ‘That girl was with child. That shapeless fetus, which was only just conceived was possessed by evil. Probably due to her sexual relations with the new Godhand.’

    Makes sense, no logical questions left.

  86. Mr. America Says:

    Maybe Griffith got rid of the child’s spirit when ganishka exploded (Even tough that would raise the question as to how the child apeared before…)? Or the child is only able to manifest during full moon?

  87. Thana Says:

    Since Lil’ Gatts looks completly human – how about Griffith only absorbed the demonic essence of the child? Since this essence corrupted the whole body only the human spirit remained and is maybe only visible at full moon. I’m quite exited about what Miura is planning with this child.

  88. vashfanatic Says:

    Can I just say, regardless of what the answer turns out to be, it is awesome to hear people being this excited about Berserk again! :D

  89. Bokar Says:

    I support the idea of child taking mermaid’s body cus mermaid is part of the sea and sea bounds to the spirit world thus the white spirit may reside within the mermaid.

  90. IGrowPot Says:

    @84 Karas

    Yeah you’re right… Children, do not smoke too much pot!
    So it seems that during the full moon the spirit gains a body of it’s own, while during the other lunar phases it’s imprisoned inside Griffith’s body.

  91. matgaudio Says:

    RÁ!

    thx EG!

  92. IGrowPot Says:

    @91 Caralho, mané, até no EvilGenius tem petralha!!!
    To gastando, tb fiquei feliz com a derrota do Serra!!

    Sorry for the offtopic lol

  93. lu Says:

    evil sei un grande!
    grazieeee

  94. Adde Says:

    Thanks for the chapter guys ;)

  95. geroprog Says:

    Thank you for Berserk!

  96. Azurian Says:

    Slightly off topic, but does anyone know how long it usually takes before Dark Horse starts translating after the release of a new volume in Japan? Can’t wait for 35. :D

  97. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    soon… *evil laugh*

  98. Phireo Says:

    317 out and new one getting released on the 26th of November. So… 2 weeks.

  99. vashfanatic Says:

    @Phireo:
    + whatever time EG needs to (1) get the scans, (2) clean the scans, (3) translate the scans, and (4) typeset the scans. I’m sure I’m missing a few steps in there as well.

    Still, nice to know the wait time instead of having it be up in the air.

  100. IGrowPot Says:

    Great news!!! I bet November 26′s will be raining!!

  101. gabodelbarca Says:

    Too much spoiler in the comments!!

  102. gabodelbarca Says:

    Oh I forgot to thank…EG if there’s a heaven, you deserve it!!!

  103. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    26th November wow… :D niiiiiice !!!
    patiently waiting for EG’s releases…

  104. ImpacientGuyAgain Says:

    So.. is 12th, where my berserk?
    I need to know what the hell is that naked boy
    Full moon this time too.. is the boy Caska/guts son?
    He has the strength to break free from the clutches of the hawk only at full moon? Mystery o.o

  105. TheParagon Says:

    nice!3 chapters in a row shouldnt be something to be surprised about, but berserk has been delayed and on hold for so many times ive lost count, so im truely thankful for every new ch. so great! and in two weeks instead, its almost too much, there cant possible be a 4th ch after that one this year… or can it? :D

  106. Stele007 Says:

    He better take a break after the 26th or else my 3 chapter prediction will be wrong.

  107. Dass Jennir Says:

    No breaks man! Who cares about your prediction?..lol :D :D

  108. secretmyth Says:

    I just need a whole new volume fuck this chapter shit. Thats what made it so great the first time was reading it continuously. These chapters dont hold my attention long enough.

  109. vashfanatic Says:

    secretmyth: then don’t read scanlations, wait until the official release from Dark Horse comes out.

    ImpatientGuyAgain: if you’re done having bad grammar ;p then you might read the comments and see that the chapter has been delayed. Even if it came out on the 12th, it takes a couple of days to release it properly the way EG does. They are not a crappy speed group.

  110. Daiceman Says:

    vashfanatic: Um no, the chapter has not been delayed at all, there are currently raws of 317 floating around on the internet. It was released in YA on the 12th as expected. But you were correct that it will be a few days more before EG will get it scanlated.

  111. vashfanatic Says:

    @Daiceman
    Cool! Then I guess the posters here were wrong… or maybe they were referring to the 317 raws, which say there will be a chapter on the 26th? Either way, glad to hear a new chapter is on its way. And take your time, I’d rather have a good release that happens slowly that an sloppy one that comes quickly (and I will try to avoid thinking about any innuendo in that last sentence… ).

  112. Stele007 Says:

    317 is out and said that the next chapter (318) will be released on 11/26.

  113. jin21 Says:

    Hmm any time table on when we should expect 317 up so we can read? Not trying to be impatient just wondering and thanks by the way for the good job you guys do.

  114. tsubaimomo Says:

    @ jin21

    Within a few days.

  115. jin21 Says:

    Thanks. Now to be patient, hmmm how difficult.

  116. Soule Says:

    Thanks for all the release..im a long time reader but have never posted. Just want to say i appreciate all the releases since i cannot get any manga what so ever where i live..least so in english. Keep up the good work!

  117. Kidd Says:

    You know you can always buy the volumes on Amazon and that they can send them to you Right?

  118. jovi.cu Says:

    There are many countries where you cannot use Amazon, or Paypal, or even a credit card…

  119. karaii Says:

    Thank you so much for the scans! You guys are fucking AMAZING <3 I've been following Berserk for years now but I've yet to leave a comment and you guys seriously need more love :D Thank you thank you thank you!

  120. Legato Says:

    Sometimes they even have free shipping (amazon)

    I’m going to assume we’ll get the translation before 318 arrives, that’s good enough for me. Will 318 be the last chapter this year? I don’t know Young Animal’s schedule, is there another release this year(with/without Berserk I mean)?

  121. Anonimo Says:

    @Legato:
    I know that Young Animal is published every two weeks.

  122. GhostUnit Says:

    This is the first time I feel a chapter really has nothing going for it. Totally content-free.

    I could “predict” every page as I read the one before it. This has all been repeated before in the manga and even in the exact same way.

    This better be a filler or linker chapter from which we get out real fast.

  123. Maxi Says:

    WAAAAA i dont understand! wth with gats child taking form when big monster exploded?? didnt the baby gats took his human form when that egg shaped golum took him inside him when griffith took his human body?? And after that he showed up when full moon until Big monster exploded because there is like magic everywhere now? if griffith took the spirit and body of baby gats how come he saved caska like million time!? i doooonnnt understandddd that dungeon dragon speaking!!!!
