But, there is Berserk! Not to mention Angel Heart, Biomega, NHK and B. Reaction! The whole crew worked hard on these releases, with LordMune spending an unbelievable maddening time cleaning up Biomega for all of you, same with Eldo in working with NHK and Mystic for slugging through real-life and coming through with a wonderful translation of Berserk. Also, without the efforts of kangxi, Nominomo, uncempt, Vicissitude, we wouldn’t have much of a release. Great job gang!
Torrents:
For the curious, Berserk 288 should be out in Japan on July 27th. And now for something completely different, more Berserk Abridged from hbi2k.
Episode 12.5: Zodd and Phil’s DTV Pitch

Berserk was awesome (really touchy)
Many thanks and a ton of gratification

@Maelstrom I hope Guts never get’s his eye and arm back. That would completely kill a huge component of the manga…
July 16th, 2007 at 8:02 am
Thanks for Biomega and the rest! great work as usual
July 16th, 2007 at 8:24 am
Hmmmm Guts’ shape change many times during the manga, mainly with battle marks, dunno if he’d get his flesh any better; could give him a little refreshing moment, until something terrible happens, scarring him again and making him look even more nasty than he already is 🙂
Btw in that scan, when his vision blurs and Guts panics, is it as if he was just about to go berserk WITHOUT the armor, explaining his reaction, or the sea bringing him again near souvenirs? I saw the bird during the blur, but I dunno if it’s supposed to have a meaning. Could anyone give me his thoughts on that?
July 16th, 2007 at 9:57 am
Many thanks, you guys rock 😉
July 16th, 2007 at 2:59 pm
@DeMs, I think the reason his vision has started to go funny is because, of extensive use of the armor. It’s completely draining him.
July 16th, 2007 at 3:41 pm
While it could be that it due to extensive use of the armor, i think guts’ panic was due to the fear of losing his sight completely and not that he was gona go berserk
July 16th, 2007 at 5:28 pm
thanks EG for BReaction and NHK.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:02 pm
thanks a lot guys… you are the best
July 16th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
Another great chapter. Thanks you guys.
July 17th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
Thank you EG. Excellent job, as always.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:21 pm
Gah, i just noticed the new Berserk is coming out whille im away from computer, crap T_T
July 17th, 2007 at 3:03 pm
Quick question.
Do any of you know why Gatsu has pointy ears ?_? They look like elf ears. I just don’t get it, everyone else has normal human ears except for gatsu. Is it maybe that he may be a half-breed ?_?
July 17th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
@Alb
Pretty much like Zodd actually 😀
July 17th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
@Maelstrom, I can understand why Zodd would have pointy ears since he is a demon and all because, he can transform into this Jaguar faced, Bull standing, dragon flying creature =D
It might not mean anything but, other’s opinions were on this.
July 17th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
“It might not mean anything but, I wanted to see other’s opinions on this”
July 17th, 2007 at 11:10 pm
i think that there has always been speculation on the relationship between Guts and Zodd (whether or not they are somehow related)
July 18th, 2007 at 12:44 am
I think it’s just for the character design, early in the manga he was designed to look like a devil somewhat; during the golden age before he becomes commander, he had some leather thingie looking like an imp tail – after all, he is the craft of bringing a demonic god upon his world
July 18th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
Wow man…Guts has grown weak…This can be happening…
July 18th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
He isn’t exactly going weak, he’s a human being surpassing himself too much in a world with demons and using a cursed artefact, bad mix for a mere “squishy” ^^
With what he said and thought about Caska, once he’s at elfhelm – provided they would get there, I’m wondering if he isn’t going to change his mind about curing caska. Maybe trying to let her stay in elfhelm while he goes back to midland, hmmm… Would give a weary ambiance. A suitable possibility imo
July 18th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
I hope Guts will leave caska at Elfhelm and go back to midland to fight some demons without caring much about her.
July 18th, 2007 at 8:02 pm
Caska has got a wierd way about her, whenever she sees griffith……like maybe she still worships him like a god.
My little theory, which is gonna be so off I bet, is that she eventually joins griffith.
July 18th, 2007 at 8:08 pm
nvm, that’s way too f’d up to say.
July 19th, 2007 at 7:39 am
When she saw Femto, he was in his “Griffith” form. And maybe she knows something we don’t, like Femto deep in his mind somewhere he has some regrets, who knows; the baron in the first volumes proved that “eggmen” can have hidden thoughts and feelings. It’s just like when Gatts saw him for the first time again as Femto, he paused when Gatts taunted him in an answer to a few things – Femto then said “yes, you were a good sacrifice”
Maybe Femto’s wish is not to kill Gatts anymore, unless forced to. It’s just when that moment Caska saw her (but she never saw him again with the Femto looks ;)), he just came and warned Gatts, trying to tell him he won’t stop now even if he puts himself in the way.
Yet again, if he’s truly evil to the core, then maybe he’s been doing this just for his own intrigues, calculating Gatt’s reactions.
Therefore, could it mean Gatts maybe has the possibility to beat him after all? Not only that, but didn’t he crushed his human ambitions and is Bad Luck wherever he goes 😉
Just speculating again 😛

In the dark horse translation immediately following the eclipse skull knight said something along the lines of maybe you are connected to the elves. I’m beginning to think that there is more to Guts than meets the eye and there is probably more back story to him than what was shown. I wouldn’t doubt that elves are able to move agianst causality freely but since Guts might just be a half breed he was potentially caught somewhere in the middle sort of like a free moving puppet that still has a couple of strings attached to it without it ever realizing that they are there.
July 19th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
Hmm maybe, would be odd but somewhat why not… Dunno, doesn’t sound plausable to me; “worst” would be Gatts appearing to be the elf king himself -_-
July 20th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
Guts…Elf King? I’d very much doubt it I’d say the chance of that being the case is from 0.00% to 3.33% from happening and if so that is the case Miura sure as hell has to do alot of explaining. As far as whats been foreshadowed since the first eclipse is that the elves have played some major role in the history of berserks universe but its not been clear as to what and how.
July 23rd, 2007 at 5:29 am
First.
I think there would be much more FlashBacks now.
Second.
SkullKnight said that Guts would lose his senses eventually – and he IS loosing.
Third.
I doubt that Casca or Guts would be cured in Elfhelm, but hope for it 😉
and…
Yay! for Biomega
Yay! for Berserk
Yay! For Angel Heart…
Now waitnig for Zetman.
July 25th, 2007 at 10:06 am
Is it possible… that the 27th of July is meant for 2008? Still no preview…
Phireo
July 25th, 2007 at 2:14 pm
Appreciate the latest release of berserk. I know you guys work hard to bring it to the fans. And were all truly grateful for it.
On another note, Guts looks like he’s needing a vacation.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:12 am
Folks, for those who stick to this thread, know that the episode is OUT.
It’s called “Sea Battle (1)” and the next episode will be out on September 14th, therefore making Kentarou Miura (at least in my book) a part-time mangaka. That sucks.
August 4th, 2007 at 12:13 pm
@Alb
Actually also Grifis have pointy ears. He had them also when he was human.
September 19th, 2007 at 1:29 am
Has NHK ended? Chapter 38 is the third chapter in volume 8. NHK volumes use to have 5 chapters each but chapter 38 really looks like the end of the story.
September 29th, 2007 at 12:10 am
NHK finally thanks EG
