hehe. Matt from Salt Lake City (Chad's old flatmate). I realized who you were when you added your location, even if I expected it to be the case when you recognized the FFXI auto-translate function comment. Not a lot of people use the Gaiseric handle.

I mean.. where all the action at?
Also.. covering gatt's face while he fight's in that armor is a real bad move by the author. I'm gonna miss is grimacing hate filled rictus...

Were talking about mostly his face i think. Like when he fought Roshinu. Some of them faces that he had during that fight were badass.

Berserk isnt cassern.
As some o you might know the name "berserk" is derived from germanic legend of a warrior that fought using no armor instead rellying on his fury.
berserk is derived from the term "bear-serf", or bear coat.
so the whole armor thing is rather out of place. I wouldnt mind it so much if we could see his face while he fights tho.
(if he ever gets to fight again -_-)

I would think that in Gatts' case in the terms of the manga, it's more likely to be derived from Norse Mythology, where the Berserker is a much different thing:
But of course this is all debateable.In old-Norse sagas, they were warriors who dressed themselves in bear skins, to make use of the fear common people had for wild animals. They whipped themselves up to a sort of battle frenzy, biting their shields and howling like animals. They were ferocious fighters and seemingly insensitive to pain while this madness lasted; berserks made formidable enemies. In their rage they even attacked the boulders and trees of the forest; it was not uncommon that they killed their own people. The belief in berserks can be compared with the belief in werewolves; both are magical transformations of humans who assume the shape of an kindred animal.
They are also sometimes called Ulfheônar ("Wolf-skin-clad Ones").

Griffis puts up an interesting point.Griffiss wrote:Some weird naked woman got possessed by a demon and tried to get kinky with the dragonslayer. That's pretty close.
