Nice pic you have there.

[Loeviz]

Yeah that Ava is sweet

[MrFelony]

there is a thread for that in the off topic discussion...try and keep conversation aimed at newbie questions...such as when exactly did guts get his white streak in his hair? after he donned the berserker armor or after the ressurection ceremony?

[Eldo]

Guts got his white hair after donning the Berserker Armour. This may be caused by the extreme immensive stress inflicted upon the body from the armour, or the armour is SUCKING HIS SOUL. The former sounds like a more feasible answer.

[MrFelony]

darn thats what i thought . it would have been more appropriate if he got it at teh ressurection, cause in a way it would have been the birth of the white hawk then .

[Sandman]

Eventually his hair will go all white and that my friends is when he will be know as the white hawk...but of course I dont remeber if the white patch grew after the incident at the beach.

[Necromancer]

We had that theory before. And btw. which ressurection? You mean Femtos "rebirth" as Griffith?

[Fuji Nagase]

yo, ima newbie too. right.--


its odd that his patch shoed up after the berserk armor and not when his world went crashing down after the 1st eclipse... i mean i know its eating his soul or whatever, but...

It makes more sense with the armor because it supernatural and as we've seen causes physical change. The first eclipse was stressful and what not but that armor is what turns him into "A beast."

[akari]

And someone here said, that girls don't read Berserk

It wouldn't be good if Guts hair went white. Even bold Guts would be better... (tried to imagine) on second thought... it's not so good idea

[MrFelony]

well Guts body went under much greater stress using the berserker armor than it ever did before. remember he wasnt limited by anything so his body was working at capacities he never experienced. and the white streak represents a lot more than just the strain his body underwent. it represents a change in his personality and a new phase in his life...like when ishidoro said he looks like a white knight now or something like that

[Sn4ke]

Umm... this is off the topic of how Guts got his white streaks in his hair, but i didnt want to put up a whole new thread for this because i dont know if this was previously posted.
Throughout the Berserk series, there are many untold mysteries that revolve around the history of the God hand. Althought im not sure Mirua will answer all the questions about the God hand and its past, my biggest curiousity is the history between the Skull knight and Zodd. In order to satisfy my thurst for Berserk knowledge i began investigating on King Gaiseric and Nosferatu Zodd. Knowing how Mirua likes to use real history within the Berserk world, with the information i gathered, i pieced it in my mind to form my own senario. However, when searching for Zodd, i couldnt find anything! Maybe its just me but im pretty sure i saw somewhere that Zodd was a mythological god of war. So getting to the point of my post, i was wondering whether its just my imagination or that somewhere i can find info. about Zodd the immortal in myth or any context.

Ask and ye shall recieve. Thanks for not creating a thread, you would have been dissappointed because you need a higher post count to be able to start a thread. It is an enforced learning curve.

Now, on to Zodd:

Zodd (ゾッド lit. Zoddo)
Also known as Nosferatu Zodd, or Zodd the Immortal, referring to his apparent immortality. An apostle (a servant of God Hand), who seeks to meet the strongest opponent to battle, one who he has sought after for three centuries through countless battlefields. One of the most powerful apostles known, he now serves under the reincarnated Griffith after losing a duel to his spiritual form in a dream. Zodd first encountered Guts and Griffith in a castle raid, where he defeated them both, but spared them once he realized who Griffith would be. As an apostle, he can transform his human form to a deadlier demonic one; in Zodd's case, his is that of a minotaur having his right horn cut off (as a sign of defeat to Griffith) with retractable bat-like wings. Zodd has a strange relationship with the Skull Knight, who can hold out against Zodd's apostle form, and he constantly engages in battle with him.

For more (or less depending on your poing of view) go here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk

Zodd hasn't a historical background as far as I'm concerned. There might be clues to how Miura created Zodd, but for the time being not even the mighty Wikipedia has information about that.

[Sn4ke]

Cool thnx for the info and the heads up

[arch0angel]

chapter 264 is out, can somebody pls tell me if there is a quick translation already, somewhere?


Just wanna a little idea what they are talking about...

[Eldo]

Look, be patient, OK? We try to do our best to supply the fiends with their fix of Berserk, but we also got lives too, yeah? Go to skullknight or something.

I'm just tired of answering 'whre beserk new chap' when we'll just a couple of days overdue. Sheesh, sometimes it pisses me off.

[arch0angel]

yeah of course, i can wait , I understand that it takes a lot of time to translate the chapter and all and you surely do something else in your life. That's normal. And i'm very greatful to the people who dedicate there time to do that.

The thing is I already have the chapter 264 but i don't understand it cos it's not english.

And i only want to know if someone already posted a simpllified translation of this chapter in the forum.

Thanks anyway

As mentioned above, you can try Skullknight.net as they provide just the english text translation, not the scanlation. If they don't have it, then no one does. We both have our own translators now so there might be subtle differences.

[arch0angel]

Thanks a lot... gonna check it out

thank you for your time

[Starnum]

If by subtle difference you mean direct tranlation with horrible grammar, in comparison to superb translation and proper grammar, then I suppose that could be right. Heh, just poking a little fun at our rivals over at SK.net.
