Sweet! cant wait for the next chapter. I wonder if Guts will suffer any permanent damage after what happened to him in this chapter.

No. These events aren't important enough for him to bear permanent damage over. Now, damage that seems permanent to the group, and won't be healed till they reach Elfheim...that I could see happening.

Actually, the damage does look permanent or at least significant and long lasting. We're talking about eyes and ears damage here. If anything, the damage he'll get might help into his eventual transformation into whatever Skullknight is. That or a growing dependence on the Beast of Darkness to actually do any fighting.

If there's anything that this arc needs, is more lasting, significant developments in order to give it more importance.

Meh. They're going to an entire island full of witches and fairies. I'm sure any damage Guts takes will be within the realm of what they can handle.

Direct download is now available:

Sorry for the delay, school started this week and I was a little busy. The good news is that I'm back to using the school servers, so download speed should be better and I can count on those servers staying on all day an night.

Thanks for the chapter. It came as a total surprise to me, so that "till next time" didnt affect me as much as it would have otherwise.

Nice chapter. Let's hope the mermaids weaken him enough for Guts to put in the final blow (although i have troubles seeing how he would get out of there alive in his current condition - were he a side character it could have been an epic death)

This also probably means that we are going to see the elf island and its king sooner than recently expected

How about a couple of volumes (read: years (for us cool kids)) of The Blind Swordsman. He can't be sure that he's a black swordsman anymore either, which then makes him The Somewhat Confuddled, Blind and Possibly Black Swordsman. chibi mode confuddled guts ACTIVATE ok lol

I'm not sure I understand how his good eye and ears became damaged. Could someone explain that to me?

The heartbeat of the Sea God emits very powerful sound vibrations. You know when someone has obnoxiously loud bass speakers in their car and it can feel like your stomach is vibrating, well it's like that but more powerful. This is also helped by the fact that the "air" in the area is very dense, Guts says it's like wading through water (you can notice the blood doesn't spurt out as nicely as it normally would, but kinda clouds out, like stirring something in liquid).

I believe he's going to be too messed up when they get to elfhiem to fight anymore and once there he'll get healed good as new.

Miura had better do that or something. He's gotta cut Guts a break sometime. Poor guy gets so much shit heh

Just because he's lost his senses momentarily does not mean that they're gone completely. They might be acute injuries that he may recover from, but the recovery may be incomplete.

To me this chapter shows that Guts isn't fighting by himself anymore. The merging of fantasy and reality in Midland's world may allow Guts to lead his own "Band of the Wolf."

^ That's a pretty sweet idea. It'd be hard for Guts to get much of a following though after the events that just went down with Griffith.

In truly berserk fashion, it would be great if this whole group just got killed in eclipse like fashion (except maybe casca). Now that will do a number on guts

Tempting in some ways, but I'm afraid it would feel a bit too much as if Miura was repeating himself. A second Eclipse could never have the impact the original had, and trying might result in a "cheapening" of the original.

Every time Guts makes friends you want them murdered, give the guy a break.

That's exactly why Berserk is so appealing, it's unrelenting and ruthless at times. The more pain there is, the better the story tends to be or at least Berserk is like this imo.
