Well, I'll keep this short.

I'm schism. (Yup, it's a tool reference if anyone cares to know!)

Having been a fan for many years I stumbled upon this website just recently, and damn it was I pleasantly surprised, so after a couple of days lurking around I hit the register-button and here I am.


Have a nice day.

/schism from Sweden.

Wait. That's what a schism is? A Tool reference? So I have had it wrong this whole time? Dammit! Why didn't anybody told me? All this time I have been going around believing a schism was the same as a "cisma", a complete split or separation that has no turning back!
I must have looked like an asshole!

Damn you wikipedia! Damn youuuuuuu!

Are you being sarcastic? The user schism is saying that their name is a reference to the Tool song "Schism". However, the definition of the word is as you gave. It's a separation, usually used to refer to when a church splits between two beliefs. Don't be a tool.

If no, what is he? The only thing I can think of is that he became what he is trough overuse of Berserker armor.
If yes, is he still in a human form or is he constantly keeping himself transformed?

No, he isn't an Apostle. As to what he is...that's up for considerable debate. Miura hasn't told us yet, so all we have is speculation. That said, the generally accepted theory is that he was (like Guts) as sacrifice who managed to survive, and overuse of the Berserk armor is probably part but not all of what led him to having his current form.

I can't remember, does the SK bare the brand on his body?

Though Guts and SK share common enemies and motivations (revenge), IMO I believe the Skullknight shares striking similarities to Griffith's character. If we are to assume that he is in fact a manifestation of the Gaeseric of legend, both seem to mirror each other in terms of managing to earn themselves their own kingdoms through war and unification of warring factions.

Though what led to the destruction of Gaeserics kingdom at the 'hands' of 4 angels (Not 5!) to have descended upon it, has yet to be explained only that it might have something to do with the tower in Albion and a tortured prisoner that Gaeseric once held there.

There is no doubt the SK remains one of the greatest enigmas to the Berserk storyline at this point. With a backstory likely just as complex as Guts' needed to explain how the SK's character got to where he is in present course of the storyline.

revealer wrote:Also Slan was calling SK "Majesty". Makes me believe that they knew each other while they were both still human.
Raaaargh, when is the next chapter coming out.. me wantz answerz -.-

Yeah, that's another good point. I mean, if the "4 angels" as they're called in legend, aren't the current God Hand then I don't know who else they could be. Besides, if Gaiseric had any other similarities to Griffith besides uniting a kingdom, wouldn't he also now be a member of the God Hand? I think it's more likely that he's a sacrifice, rather than the one who summoned the eclipse (if that was indeed the case of what happened back then). That's why I would think it would be more likely that Void was the one who sacrificed the kingdom, but that's just an assumption on my part.

As for the new chapter, it's coming out on the 25th, so look for our release shortly thereafter.
