Re: Berserk 297 - The Blind Giant God
True enough, I could imagine Griffith as a war Jesus since hes running among the clouds and having those giant, bright wings. Though I question if everyone down there wonder wtf he went.
Maybe the battle will turn out faster than we think,
maybe Griffith will super-size himself and have a 2 second Chappelle finish move.

Re: Berserk 297 - The Blind Giant God
I want it to be fast so the story goes on... although a good twist would be cool too.
Thank you sir, may I have another
Re: Berserk 297 - The Blind Giant God
Is it too much to hope for that Griffith just gets stepped on and the story continues?
I think Guts is a pretty cool guy, eh kills shit an doesn't afraid of anything.

He'd just be a really shiny splinter. Then he'd wriggle his way up the emperor, like one of them beetles in the mummy, and kill his brain from the inside.

im really wondering what the last word in his sentence is, it wouldnt have been cut off if it was anything simple like "nemesis" or whatever.

Re: Berserk 297 - The Blind Giant God
Enemy? God? Desire? I could see any of these (and quite a few other things) as possibilities. Perhaps the reason that Miura left the last word out is that he wants us to use our imaginations to fill in the blank.

Re: Berserk 297 - The Blind Giant God
I think it's more along the lines of not even the emperor can discern what Griffith is for him... is him his god? Is him his nemesis?
If he can barely discern what he is, how can he discern Griffith?

Re: Berserk 297 - The Blind Giant God
Since this thread has wandered into the "when is the next release" type of thread now, I'll contribute to it continuing to go off topic
Is there some link that lists all the chapters and when they were published? I'd kinda like to figure out if Miura has always been this flaky about getting the chapters written/drawn.

Re: Berserk 297 - The Blind Giant God
My birthday is Christmas, I hope it doesn't take that long.
This looks like its gonna be Griffith centric for a while. Guts don't look like he's gonna be on scene for a while yet. Griffith is going to have to kill the emperor and become king and all and threaten all of the wizards for another story arc to begin when Guts and co hit skellig.

If he waits till after he becomes king to launch his attack (which would be the sensible thing to do), it probably won't arrive till after Guts and Co. have been on the island for a bit. Which would make sense, since Guts really needs a break for a while.

Re: Berserk 297 - The Blind Giant God
I know alot of people have mentioned this before, about Gattsu getting his eye and arm back on the elf island, but I wanted to add something to it. I really think Miura intends to do this, mainly because of when Casca fell off the ship and he couldn't pull her up with his fake arm. Before, Gattsu might not have thought it even worth it to get his arm back, since a hidden canon is such a powerful weapon. But now the canon to him is like his revenge; it only gets in the way of helping Casca. Over the course of the post eclipse manga, he seems to be more and more intent on helping/saving Casca than getting his revenge. Anyways my point is that I don't think Miura would have put those scenes in if he didn't plan on Gattsu getting his arm back, or at least the offer of it (he may decline to reasons I can't even think of because who knows what will happen when/if Casca gets her memory back).
Another thing I want to say about when they get to the island: I don't think Puck is going to be welcomed there. I hate to use this as a reference but... like when Jar Jar Binks goes back to his home in the 4th (1st) Star Wars movie. This part here from the manga is all I can really base it off of, but it's probably just Puck's usual joking around. I just have a feeling that they wont be able to go around island and do whatever they please.

Re: Berserk 297 - The Blind Giant God
I love the Star Wars reference, and it totally makes sense, though, I don't think Puck is in that much trouble. I think it's more like what happens to a Kender in Dragonlance when they mature, they want to explore. Even if the elves don't like Puck, I think the rest of Skellig will still be on Shierke and Evarella's side. Though, we don't really know Evarella's history. The worst part about this whole story arc is that we can't even be sure the Elf King can do anything. Even if we think of him as the best magician in the Berserk world, what would he actually be able to accomplish, other than reading Casca's mind? Personally I think Casca's going to need some intensive therapy to get even close to normal, and she never will be normal, and I doubt anything is going to happen to Guts. When he was shown to be weak because of his metal arm, I personally think that was to show that even though he's a walking tank, he's still human, and humans can't do everything alone.

Re: Berserk 297 - The Blind Giant God
In that chapter, Guts also mentions how things won't ever be the same after he's back on the ship. In addition to that, Guts has said in the past that he is unable to get over his right eye's last sight. Things like that make me believe that his losses are final and irreversible.DrPepperPro wrote:I really think Miura intends to do this, mainly because of when Casca fell off the ship and he couldn't pull her up with his fake arm.
