Weren't some of the generals of midland visiting nobles to seek their aid? Would be nice for someone to recognize him for who he is, rather then what he's swinging.

And I don't know if they are at the party but weren't there that two nobles some time ago that not like the other nobles already liked Griffith and Guts before the eclipse.

yeah i think so.... heck they were the only 2 nobles that didn't really object to all the titles and stuff that were given to griffith.... Well let's say they look a friggin lot like those two

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 12:10 am

Those were Raban and someone else, and I believe they are hiding out in midland's capital somewhere.

Post by **Libaax** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 12:14 am

They should go "hey isnt that the famous raider of hawks" or something in the next chapter.

Also i hope the poor tiger goes down fast for his sake

Anyone else see that on the last page of Guts his right eye looks like it's slightly open when you view the picture at a larger size. Of course it's just a drawing coincidence but still...what if the armor was regenerating it? ^_^

EDIT: Also, I notice that he only has two rememberances of Judeau left...makes me kinda sad....I liked that kid.

EDIT EDIT: I just thought of this...what if the demon kitty turns out to be too much for Guts and his wounds and he ends up succumbing to the armor and kills a couple of nobles? Some people already don't like him because they don't understand the big picture but if this event happens, that would make like ALL of the kingdoms hate him.

Chances are, I think it'll more be along the lines of, "Omfg, that's a huge ass sword!!" ::sigh::

Ew, I see what you mean. Those two little daggers seem so meager. It's as you say; they're really all he has left of Judeau.

Edit: Somehow, I doubt the cat will be able to defeat Guts. He's come a long way to simply get pwned by a cat. Not saying this because he's the main character, but because of what he's faced so far.

Post by **AnteDiluvian** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 4:39 am

Especially when this "cat" cant avoid an attack from farnese. And there is Serpico and the rest of the team, unless there is more tigers (band of the cat? =p ) he ll die like a hello kitty doll *Versus* Flame thrower...

Just now got it, got to say thanks guys, another greate release. Also what an awesome chapter, I can't wait until the next one comes out.

There is a chance that Guts is fatiqued from his earlier fight with Serpico, it'll be a tough match, but I can see Guts as the likely victor as well.

Berserk chapters seem to a short read nowadays...doesn't feel like 18 pages to me.

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 3:22 pm

This one didn't have so many words, so of course the read is shorter. But the quality is definitely still up there. Notice the details on unimportant stuff like the noble's clothes? Miura is definitely a perfectionist.

Post by **akurei** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 7:00 pm

Awesome chapter. Miura sure has a knack for creating suspense. Most of the chapter seemed like it was pulled out of someone's worse nightmare. The chaos and the feeling of watching people scrambling to escape and being torn apart left and right, like lambs to the slaughter and you happen to be one of them. Frightening stuff

I personally don't that tiger is going to be able to push Guts on its own. I'd say roughly its a few pegs above the Crocodile Familiars, but a few pegs below the Makara Familiar that Guts fought earlier, and he's had time to rest since then. I don't think he's not having as much trouble weilding the Dragon Slayer judging by his bout with Serpico. On the other hand I get the feeling there may be more than one of those tigers, and it the tiger seems to make good use of the fog, as well. Whatever the case, I still think he'll stay it decisively enough to impress the hell out of the surviving nobles, imo

On a side note: Nobles associated with the vatican should recognize him as the Black Swordsman I'd think. The nobles hailing from Midland MIGHT recall the face from somewhere, but its been a while, Guts' appearance has changed quite a bit, and he was never really held in the highest esteem by the majority of Midland's elite, along with Griffith. =\

In my opinion the only person I can see recognizing him (putting the face together with a name) would be Sir Owen, since he was a strong supporter of the Hawks. Black Swordsman or Hero, after this I don't think Vandemion will give a damn with the current situation. Ganishka really has him by the kibbles. Someone like Guts is probably a godsend.

If the post's too long... You probably won't see this

My thoughts tend to run a little long, just hope its not too much speculation for this thread. Again, all just one man's thoughts on the chapter.

It's because we're so dry on berserk that when we get a drizzle we soak it up like sponges.

Yeah, their are probably more tigers. Sending one in just seems a bit cocky. Also, fog? Is the Kushan leader here? Or can his shaman's (for lack of a better term) also create mist?

Yet another great chapter for our reading pleasure; my sincerest thanks to those responsible.

Kill a kitten.

My guess is the flying man from before at beatch are leading it.

Dont look to strong compared to the ogre, hope Guts take it in one hit so he can talk some whith Farnese's father and get that boat...

If the shamans (seems a fitting term to me) that Serpico defeated at the beach are any indication, I think Ganishka seems to have given them the ability to channel his own powers indirectly by filling them with his fog, so they carry it with them and use it to control familiars in his stead. I'm not sure if they're possessed by the fog or if Ganishka has granted them some of his essence without controlling them personally, though.

Judging by the guy out on the boat (who seems to be commanding the shamans) I'd say its probably the latter. He still has a sense of self and doesn't seem possessed by the fog, but I bet he's stuffed more full of the stuff than most of his mage troops. So it seems to me they can control the fog and the pishacha without Ganishka himself needing to be nearby (PS: isn't he still busy holding Wyndham?)

I wish Guts would meet Silat again during this, but that seems unlikely for now...unless Vandemion offers the best ship in the entire fleet in exchange for Guts' unique skills against the imminent Kushan invasion.

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Tue Jul 26, 2005 7:47 am

Speaking of Sylatt: Does anyone have a feeling that he might switch sides some time in the future? As a bad guy he is not that strong, and he's had evil turns by all his present allies, but he's still not dead. To me that means he'll possibly ally with Guts in the future.

Anybody else speculated on this yet?

I do that too often...

I'm expecting more carnage next issue. I was thinking the Hawks may show up to 'save' the nobles from the Kushans, to gain the support from the higher class.
