Adaptability FTW!

okay, maybe not real hawk eyes, but he was def. starring strait at guts in a not so normal way. there is some intensity there though. i mean of course there should be, but...it was still a bitch move. him on his horse...mutha fuckin'....

I don't know...I can't really say what feeling Griffith was having looking at Gatts...can be so many possibilities...

I just don't think he was giving him the Hawk look. He's not a concern to him. After all, even Zodd let him be - if he was ANY kind of problem, Zodd would have orders to rip him asunder. I think his look was more like 'You're alive because I want to', something like that.

Weird. But that was the best chapter in a loooooooooooong time. I love Berserk's dialogs, and Wandering_Mystic and the team are to be congratulated on their translations!

Thanks Eg!!!

EDIT:

But I may just be reading too much into and and I should have posted this in the stupid Berserk theories.

No an angel. Femto

"I want wings"

Thanks for the translation.
I was almost moved to tears seeing how this chapter goes. Guts & co. can finally reach the ship. It's so nice to see Azan again. He must be the deepest sleep ever, even with a awar going on around him. The last couple of pages have no words, but spoke volumes. Good stuff!

so does that men that they're all going to elfhelm?

the hawk look doesnt mean griffith is necesarrily goign to kill you, just that he is going to use you in some "i just showed you who's boss" kinda way

Damn, what a chapter

Wonder for how long they´re gonna take it easy now on the boat/ship (If they even get a ship now or if they have to get to elfhelm with this little thingy).
Finally Azan joins up with the rest of the crew

I don't think they'll be using that little boat , since there's a bombaclad sized ship laying just behind them...

heh, take a good look at the last page. That big-ass ship they're heading towards is probably their boat.

okay a few things...

1. that was not the "look of the hawk" period, end of story, nada.... if i have to cut and paste from chapters to illustrate this fact i shall... this look is identical to the look griffith gave guts when he witnessed the death of bazuso

2. a serpico vs zodd instance... im sorry but in no amount of strategy can gary coleman beat the hulk... finito

3. guts doesn't have a right eye... guts didn't pick up a new one.... why is that even being discussed?

That would actually make some sense. Seeing as in chapter 277 it was said that the apostles couldn't land a blow against the emperor, Guts can however. So Griffith wanting Guts yet again, because he is one of the few people that can actually hurt creatures of that format doesn't sound all that weird.

ya he's got dialated pupils. In the look of the hawk, griffith's eyes are almost all iris.

wow what a chapter , i would wished that Gatts fight Zodd , but in that condition he can barely move and wtf Gatts helping Griffiths ( without knowing it of course ) at least they get to the boat ( i am guessing how the legendary elf king will look like ) man now have to wait until september ( to dl the 279 in this wonderful site of course , thanks to all of you guys that make this possible ( keep doing a great job as always ) . .

Even though Guts can hurt the Emperor I don't think Griffith needs him. Griffith is still a God Hand member (even if he's in human form) and I don't think we've begun to see what his true powers are on Earth. Has anybody else noticed how conflict between Griffith and the Emperor parallels the prophesied battle between Jesus and the AntiChrist? I think this raises the question of whether or not the Emperor is truly acting of his own free will in defying the God Hand or if he's merely a pawn of fate, allowed some measure autonomy simply to make Griffith look good.

I'm pretty sure that the reason the Emperor was made into an Apostle in the first place was to give Griffith someone to fight against so that he could be the "hero" and manuver that into gaining his kingdom.

yeah i think that too cause as you see Griffith have planned all the things , now he is going to see the Pope and make an alliance to destroy Kushan army , man that damn Griffith knows what he needs to do to fulfill his dream .

Post by **TheDrizzit** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 5:22 am

Hehehe it would be great if that was the reason for the Emperor cuz then when Griffith was staring at Guts in the boat he was giving Guts a "You fucked up my shit you little bitch!!" stare? ^_^

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Sortep, the right eye was being discussed because the panel discussed looked like his right eye to me, but then I killed that theory when I noticed no white hair...I think you and someone else are the only ones talking about it now...but I can't remember who and I don't care to look. ^_^

So what happens if Guts kills the emperor and unintentionally takes all Griffiths glory? Once again, the Guts effect contradicts the plans of the god hand.

but it seems to me that most of you lack basic political skills. whether or not Guts kills the emperor doesn't really matter because most likely no one will have seen it and Griffith will still get credit for it either way.

Unless he does it while Griffith's in another continent, and the whole Kushan Army sees it.

Post by **MrFelony** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 6:50 pm

then the kushan army will know it and griffith will take credit for ridding the kushan threat from their homeland. Griffith is too good of a tactician to let Guts get the credit heh. even though guts technically killed the kushan emperor, Zodd helped, and Griffith will almost certainly get the credit for saving the city.

But that's the essential question: Does Guts' existence and actions foil the plans of the God Hand, or more importantly Fate itself, or help them? Remember Griffith wouldn't have been able to reincarnate on Earth if not for Guts' child which would have died prior to the reincarnation eclipse had Guts and Caska not escaped the first one. This is why I love this manga above all others; it constantly forces me ask the question of whether or not everyone is acting out of free will or following the predestined plan of Fate.

I'm sorry, that's totally subjective sir. You can't honestly say that as a fact one way or the other. Yes, I freaking know that the chances of Serpico pulling anything off to get a win over Zodd is like a million to one or some crap. However, it's still not impossible. It's a matter of opinion at this point though, so let's just not worry about it.

That's a bit presumptious. Of course Griffith would take the credit one way or another. I didn't really notice too many people disputing this.

well this not in chapter 278 , but what do you think about the kid in Vritanis beach , is that kid somehow the son of Gatts ? did not the son of Gatts used to Griffith's reincarnation ?.
