Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
Thanks for this and the last chapter, too. I shall enjoy your hard work.
I think Guts is a pretty cool guy, eh kills shit an doesn't afraid of anything.
Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
Wow, the Idea of Bakiraka and Gutts together... I just can't wait to see what happens
Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
(Taken from another translation to better make a point)
Huh. And just like that, Silat goes from skilled mook to a wild card and verifiable badass. Great to see Berserk continuing its long tradition of slow, constant character development; it's always been one of my favorite things about the series.
And this isn't by me, but I had to post it:
Sorry if the right sides of these images get cut off due to their size.

Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
Maybe not. Given everything else that happened, it wouldn't be surprising if Owen had concluded that Guts was still working for Griffith after the events in the Vatican city. This wasn't actually shown, but it would be a reasonable conclusion for him to have made.Chaos_Wanderer wrote:Thats what i thought too. And also, Silat is also one of the only characters that recognizes Guts, and has some memory of his role as a Hawk. Don't forget, he was almost as famous as Griffith once, so i wonder if his lack of presence will be noticed by any of the Lords.This could be a foreshadowing of a possible allegiance between Silat's Bakirka clan and the company Guts is slowly building.

Are we to assume Laban and Owen are ghey for one another? Why that would have never occured to me......Istvan wrote:Chaos_Wanderer wrote:Thats what i thought too.

Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
Thanks again guys.
Woot! Silat is so cool. He's like on side C, where Griffith is B and Guts is A. From this point forward he might go with Guts, because he doesn't seem to like Griffith. But Guts might not want to go with him, remembering their other encounter. It's interesting to see Owen and Raban too. I always thought Raban was interesting for an almost extra in the anime. I was just waiting for Owen to reveal that Guts' past to his new group, I was kinda disappointed when he didn't.

Don't forget the Emperor, he's a side as well (for a little while longer).The Herald wrote:Thanks again guys.

I don't really see Guts as being so petty as to refuse to work with Silat just because of their past encounters. I mean, sure they were enemies, but it's not like anything really extreme happened between them, to make them enemies for life. If anything, I see the problem as being that Guts can't provide the home and security the clan needs, and so having nothing to offer them in an alliance.
Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
Heh, love that edit of Raban and Owen, classic. I gotta hand it to that Silat as well, he's a pimp.

Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
I don't really see that happening, especially since Silat seems to hate Gutts so much. However, if that did end up happening... Oh shit, that''d be totally awesome OMG wow.Aeriel wrote:Wow, the Idea of Bakiraka and Gutts together... I just can't wait to see what happens
Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
I agree, Guts honestly brushed off their first encounter as a friendly rivalry, and their second, though Silat was attacking the Hawks, was by no means fueled by a bloodlust for Guts.Istvan wrote:Don't forget the Emperor, he's a side as well (for a little while longer).The Herald wrote:Thanks again guys.

I would think, that if anything, Silat would be less likely to work with Gats because of his defeats.

Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
I could see that, but again I don't really see Silat as being quite that petty. I don't think he holds much of a grudge, and it's clear that he respects Guts a lot. Also, I think he's too practical to let such things get in the way (look at his comments in this last chapter). For me the biggest problem for them teaming up continues to be practical: Guts just can't offer/supply what the clan needs.Azrael wrote:I agree, Guts honestly brushed off their first encounter as a friendly rivalry, and their second, though Silat was attacking the Hawks, was by no means fueled by a bloodlust for Guts.Istvan wrote:Don't forget the Emperor, he's a side as well (for a little while longer).The Herald wrote:Thanks again guys.

I knew the rate of one every two weeks was too good to continue, but I'd hoped it would last a little longer than just three chapters.Wandering_Mystic wrote:Well get ready for another one. After this chapter (295, which we are working on now), the next release won't be for another 2 months =(
Oh well. So it goes.

Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
Remember when Guts called Silat a 'circus fighter'?
Silat shows intellgence here, he's leaving his options open. If he stopped them he would make an enemy of Griffith, letting them go is a betrayal of the Emperor, but there's no one around to see it. He's positioning himself for the best outcome for his clan depending on how the fight plays out. I think he may end up being forced to choose between his clan's security and 'fighting the good fight' with Guts.

Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
My mind is a bit fuzzy about Silat and Guts encounter but does Silat even know that Guts wants Griffiths head on a stick?

Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
Thanks for the chapter guys great work as always... hope Mystic is feeling better and all
[spoiler]anyway I thought it was hilarous the way foss bowed down right away in the presence of Griffith or is he just the hawk now???[/spoiler]
oh and Loeviz he could know if he was paying attention to Guts during Griffiths rebirth... but I doubt he was because everyone was focused on Griffith

Thank you sir, may I have another
Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
What would Griffith say if one of his new Midland nobility chums asked him "whatever happened to the captain of your raiders?"
Re: Berserk 294 - Exodus
"he's still around, though no longer in my employ" is probably what griffith would say
