Evil Genius

Hm, this is an interesting theory. Just to offer some other theories out there though: Maybe Skull Knight didn't know it was Griffith who had the behelit, so he couldn't kill him there and then. Maybe. However he did know that Gut's is one to be sacrificed. He told Gut's the day after he left Griff...

There is one thing that just hit me while re-reading Berserk. It's an interesting plothole, actually: Why didn't Skullknight just kill Griffith while he was in human form, during golden age? Skullknight foresaw everything that was about to happen to Guts & co, and he knew that it was about Griff...

It doesn't seem quite right that people use the Behelit, it feels more like the Behelit uses the People. Discussions about Guts using the Behelit are IMHO nonsense.... I think that it works both ways: behelit is made for person of certain qualities, but also the person is made to poses those certai...

Thanks EG, awesome chapter. Now there's nothing between Guts & co and elfhiem And one quick question: I can't make it out, but who's that lying next to Guts in the ship's hold? Farnese brother, i think... nope that wasn't him. Farense brother was standing near her. Probably some random guy.

EG, you don't know how much you rule.

Anyway, this chapter was pure filler, so in a way, shame on Miura. I hope we'll get real material soon.

I am with Istvan here. The most confusing thing about berserk is that, in essence, idea of evil influences almost everything so it doesn't matter from which side you look, the result is the same: Griffith was born for behelit and behelit was made for him. You can say (kind of) that he was destined t...

Normally I would side with Istvan on this issue, but there's something else that no one seems to remember: Post-eclipse Griffith once saved Casca's life (hill of swords scene). Good catch, I'd forgotten that. So I suppose he can protect her, at least in the short term, although as Khelegond points ...

Normally I would side with Istvan on this issue, but there's something else that no one seems to remember: Post-eclipse Griffith once saved Casca's life (hill of swords scene). So it seems that either he can really do anything he wants or some sacrifices have some other functions to perform (besides...

Thanks so much EG!

Now maybe I stop disliking Farense... but don't count on it.

Ok, good, then in spite of offering more detail Miura hasn't managed to endear the new characters to the readers. This is a problem that every storyteller eventually encounters, because making a character lovable is something you have to think about. Perhaps Miura never wanted us to love Farnese. S...

Only the witch is actually a part of the story. What is Farnese? a babysitter? in Berserk?..... My point exactly. You can have a character which is complex has a back story and all and still be completely out of the place. It's like putting Hamlet in Terminator 2 movie. Just doesn't work. If you wa...

Just put it in the middle somehow.

Brainpiercing, I agree that original hawks were somewhat stereotypical too, but Miura spent very little time on them so they didn't distract you from main cast and events. And Serpico is the best character because he is the most devious: you just can't trust him. He betrayed Guts once when he challe...

I think that main problem with new companions is that too much time is spent on their personal stories. Original band was cooler, but Miura was smart enough to give them limited screen time because there were more important stuff going on. Not only are new characters less awesome than the old, but M...

If we do switch to Guts, I just hope there's a slight time jump at some point, since them getting in a battle at sea (against pirates? something else? who knows) would just seem lame after everything in the city. Yeah we really don't need and don't want any more stuff to stand between us and efhiem...

Guam for me, too.

By the way elven king, isn't your new avatar actually a portrait of Sephiroth, just with different colors?

Well, I don't completely agree with Femto, I still read Berserk, but I do have problem with plenty of things in new chapters. I think first 16 volumes were absolutely awesome, it went a bit downhill from there, but the real decline started around volume 24 (with introduction of Schierke). I do think...

You want to turn mangas into literature? Fine, but be careful what you wish for. Don't forget Douglas Adams' immortal words: Having been an English literary graduate, I've been trying to avoid the idea of doing art ever since. I think the idea of art kills creativity. I think media are at their most...

I hope they won't switch to some bullshit pirate filler. That would suck as hell. Well Miura almost certainly knows better.

Enjoy, It kicks ass, but you'll need flash player 9.

Where did you find it?

look, I have no idea why everyone thinks that it is so darn hard for Griffith to become king now: (1) he has the greatest army in the world (2) he is the only one who is actually WINNING against Kushans (3) People love him (4) Only living member of the royal family WORSHIPS him (5) He has support of...

Foss is right now very dangerous, because he can tell Charlotte all about Queen assassination. I doubt that she would be all that happy if she realizes that Griffith killed her mother. The smartest thing Griffith can do now is to get rid of Foss immediately. Damn, he should have killed him back in ...

What Griffith needs right now is not the resources of the nobles, but rather their support. If Griffith wants to rule Midland, he needs to unite it as one whole country without scattering it. As Istvan said, Griffith is now engaged to Charlotte, he has to maintain the aura of superiority, because h...

With the whole Griffith becoming King thing... It makes me wonder if the first part of the series when you see Guts in the town (and he fights the Snake Baron), when the guys in the tavern are saying that things have gotten bad since Griffith became King...makes me wonder if that part still hasn't ...
