Volume 13's Lost Chapter Remains Lost
I didnt know if this was resolved yet but the lost chapter is NOT in the US version of Volume 13. and to top it all off those bastards put a Parental Addvisory stick on the cover of the the manga instead of on the plastic wrap Its ok though I got it off with out a scratch on the cover
Anyway I am not too disapointed because you guys already profided that chapter Thanks Again EG... I would be lost without you

Thank you sir, may I have another
It was originally printed in the Young Animal magazine, but was pulled from the volume probably because it gave too much away. We don't know either. It could be possible that Miura just omitted it because it provided too much information to future plotlines, or if it was removed from the story completely. I think it's the former, and highly doubt it is the latter.
The Hawks were responsible for scanlating the chapter, and not EG. So the real heroes are them.

True, but I hate to think so I am glad the chapter was released... Also anyone who has the Internet and is reading berserk has found the hawks and the lost chapter and if they havent they wont have the larger scope of things... Could you imagine them trying to talk in one of the threads that has to do with that topic, that would be one rude-a-wakening If that was me I would be alittle pissed... but ofcourse they are staying true to the origanal
Thank you sir, may I have another

I started reading berserk when the attack on Virtranis was just beginning. The lost chapter was a part of the scnlations I downloaded, and I read it right after chapter 82. It fit right in, and made alot of things clearer, especially just that Femto was indeed Griffith- he hadn't just been magically "turned evil".Khelegond wrote:We've been following the story pretty close, and when it comes to the lost chapter we still have some pretty good discussions. Now, imagine if you had read that when it was supposed to...in the middle of the eclipse...
You might get quite confused...

Just wondering why you might think he was magically "turned evil" Given Griffith's ambition and actions, I never thought of him as "good." He might not have been "evil" although the murder of the Queen and manipulation of people to further his own goals certainly point to him being "not good."
I didn't read the missing chapter until I had read much further in the series. It's interesting to think that there is something that creates/guides/ismorepowerulthan (not exactly sure what it does) the godhand.
(Hey look I figured out that whole Reply vs New Topic thing)
I think it's entirely possible that he pulled the chapter simply due to its notions of god.
God being a creation of desire, of human's desire - desire for reasons.
I don't really find that it corners Miura's writing, nor does it reveal too much. So that's why I thought it might be because some thought it too radical, or he thought it too radical.
I think it's a fantastic facet of the story, and personally, find it to mirror some of my own thoughts about religion.

The thing is, Void still refers to "The God Born of Man" in the manga, and we still SEE Idea anyway (He appears right at the end of God of the Abyss 1). Idea is explaining things to Griffith throughout the chapter, and then at the end our favourite White Hawk makes the enigmatic statement "God...?"
So just from the remaining manga, and from later statements made by Flora in the Spirit Tree Mansion, Idea still exists, is still 'created by man', and lurks somewhere in the depths of the Abyss where no magic user can go.
Therefore all signs point to either the chapter revealing too much plot OR Miura wanting a more subtle or entirely different angle. Personally as much as I LOVE the lost chapter, the story certainly has a deeper sense of mystery without it.
