The answers to your questions can already be had if you read the relevant areas. They have already been answered.

I'm sick and tired of answering questions such as these. If you can't be bothered to read properly, then don't type a post at all.

Go back to lurking and don't piss me off.

I have been lurking around this forum for quite some time making the occasional post. But for all safety I decided to post this one here in the newbie discussion thread.

There have been countless topics/posts/theory's whatever about the origin of Guts/Gatsu's name.
I hope this theory hasn't been mentioned before , but it sounded like a rather plausible one .

I study Japanese at University and for this semesters exam we had to study amongst other things "giongo" & "gitaigo" which means Onomatopoeia & Mimesis in English. If you don't know what that means check it out in a dictionary or wikipedia. It are grammatical terms.

So I was looking for some more examples of this in Japanese when I came across the "Giongo" :
"GatsuGatsu" .
This is used to express a thirsty feeling mostly .
The other meaning is more relevant. You'll have to excuse my english but its very hard to translate (especially if you're not native to the english language) :
hankering , longing , yearning for something so bad that it is like being on fire. A burning Desire for something.

Perhaps a bit farfetched but maybe intresting for some people.

That would surely makes sense, but in this case there is little space for theories: the real name is the name Miura wants to see used, period. Everything else is smoke.

Still interesting though.

It's interesting the weird coincidences like that that pop up in language. I'm fairly sure that it's a coincidence, but it's certainly a very appropriate one. Good job in spotting it.

Yea I noticed that the most of the recent posts are at least 15 days old this be a direct cause of the lack of releases. Anyhow I am amped! Once i get some more cred I want to post a Berserk Move topic.[/i]

also, when you want to start a new thread make a search or look around for it to see that it wasnt already posted. and if you have something worth value to add then go ahead.

Yes. Just remember that "value" is a very subjective term that means different things to different people, and you'll be fine. Your every post can be packed with value.

Yes, as long as it has any contributing factors to the thread.

Im the newest branded by Berserk here.
And my thirst for that bloody manga is baad!

I just wanted to say hello!
I wasn't quite sure if I should say it here :P
But this one looked most like fitting for newbie coming out =D

I got in love with the Berserk anime first (like many other people seem to have gotten by the basis of my investigation!!)
And I first thought that the manga would be just exactly the same and didn't really bother to read it ever.

But then it hit me. Somebody said that it's such pity they haven't make anime from all the manga and I got shivers~!
There is actually MORE Berserk as manga...

And I made my huge and terrifying effort reading everything that has been translated in two weeks. And yes, it is my exam week now. Bye bye good numbers, welcome repeat tests!

End of the selfrevealing.

No true Berserk fan could make such a claim. I am forced to the conclusion that you have killed MrFelony and stolen his identity for your own nefarious purposes. Begone villian!! We have no need of fake fans here.

meh, I havent been a berserkaholic for a long time, my self control is too good to be dying for the next berserk chapter. I mean I did quite drinknig and smoking cold turkey. drinking was easy...and I was only in the early stages of becoming addicted to cigarettes, but still it never really phased me that much waiting 2 months for the next chapter. I realise that a test happens at a specific time, but reading berserk can happen any time :P.

Reading berserk can't wait xD
Im in quite.. Hmm.. Strange situation. I don't have a computer of my own
and my big brother who owns this darling.. Well, he hates manga =D

So I gotta do my reading when he is away.
Secretly. Download. And then delete T.T

But since I finished all the chapters for now ;3
I can concentrate to my last exam..

Or then I can go to see those older discussions of yours o.O
Tough decision.
..

Im still sitting here!

If he hates manga he obviously hasen't read BERSERK, I've gotten people who are die hard against manga, to be interested just by telling them how much of a bad ass Gattsu is. (simply put, he cleaves many people in half with a single swing :D) So show it to him get another fan, BERSERK can never have too many. and even if he still is against it eff that guy keep it on the comp.

Maybe I should just show him the most porn parts and he'd be in love -.-

Honestly I don't think he'd read nothing but car magazines from his own, free will. Those kind of boys. Im more the bad ass type!!
