Also, in Volume 14 in Japan (the tank) also had the Berserk Prototype, so again, DH is just using the same tank.
More conversations...
(14:31:59) psi29a: heheh
(14:32:14) psi29a: its a big friggen Hand, that is a pretty sick lounge
(14:32:34) Aazealh: Well that's just for ceremonies, I think usually they're in the Escher dimension.
(14:32:45) Aazealh: Just walking up and down stairs
(14:32:47) Aazealh: all day
(14:32:53) Aazealh: Talk about hell.
(14:33:34) Aazealh: Anyway, keep in mind that if we exclude episode 83, we don't know anything about the Idea of Evil, save that it exists and that it's "God."
(14:35:29) psi29a: by God, we mean it is the end all be all God? what are you thoughts on the pre-IOE world of Berserk?
(14:35:38) psi29a: again I know Miura doesn't address that
(14:36:08) Aazealh: Well, I don't think it's an ultimate God or anything, but it's still quite the entity.
(14:36:20) Aazealh: I don't think there's anything more powerful in the world, basically.
(14:36:25) psi29a: are we to assume that there is no god/creator and that the pre-established religions and faiths in the Berserk world are linked to IOE ?
(14:36:45) Aazealh: Yes, I would say so. But not about the religions.
(14:36:49) psi29a: What of the Elemental Kings?
(14:36:56) Aazealh: The religions and faiths in Berserk aren't based on the IoE at all.
(14:37:04) psi29a: not even manipulated?
(14:37:06) Aazealh: Well, they're powerful beings.
(14:37:23) Aazealh: Maybe manipulated, who knows? But they don't talk about it, at least not as far as we know.
(14:37:36) Aazealh: The Holy See's teachings talks bout the Elemental Kings
(14:37:39) Aazealh: under a different name
(14:37:47) Aazealh: it shows that basically it's a different vision of the world
(14:37:53) Aazealh: not unlike our real world religions
(14:38:16) Aazealh: Since all "western" religions share basically 80% of the same material, people, events, places, etc
(14:38:46) psi29a: *nod* So we have yet to see the Elemental Kings in action nor do we know if they can be equally powerful to Idea or is IOE on a seperate plain all together from the Elementals?
(14:39:17) Aazealh: The Idea of Evil doesn't reside on the same level
(14:39:22) Aazealh: It lies deep in the Abyss
(14:39:32) Aazealh: The Elemental Kings are probably in the astral realm
(14:39:36) psi29a: is the Abyss a creation of humans?
(14:39:50) Aazealh: Who knows? I'd say no, though.
(14:39:58) Aazealh: Their negative emotions are there though
(14:40:06) psi29a: so these planes (realms) of existance predate hhumans?
(14:40:21) Aazealh: That's impossible to know
(14:40:30) psi29a: *nods*
(14:40:31) Aazealh: They're not really realms but layers anyway.
(14:40:39) Aazealh: Layers of the world
(14:40:50) Aazealh: I guess it doesn't make a lot of difference
(14:40:57) Aazealh: Like they can be both
(14:40:57) psi29a: that is why guts and crew have to travel point a to point b, same world different layer.
(14:41:22) Aazealh: Yeah, it's like a fourth dimension, sort of
(14:42:02) psi29a: Flora's place exists int he same location, but only in the Astral layer is it relevent (and there more to the point).
(14:42:07) Aazealh: When they were in the Qliphoth, they were in the woods, sort of, but they weren't really in the woods anymore.
(14:42:28) psi29a: *nods*
(14:42:37) Aazealh: Well, her places existed more on the astral side yeah
(14:42:44) Aazealh: that's why the tree lived so long
(14:42:47) Aazealh: Her as well
(14:42:55) Aazealh: She probably lived a thousand years
(14:43:14) psi29a: Goes along with her and SK being 'friends'.
(14:43:19) Aazealh: Yeah
