I hate puck, dislike most of Gatts crew, his best days were when he was solo, or as he said not having to watch for others, just completely engorged in battle. When he became the hundred man slayer he was this way, when he was slaughtering little children fairies he was this way, these were -- his best moments in my opinion, I loved them. With each new character you've got an additional personality to explain, to keep up with, and it takes away from Gutts, the darkness, the grit, is was makes berserk, no sense in trying to lighten it, let it take over. Only part I liked about Farnese was when she was humping Gutts sword, but yeah that's just a random though, I'm sure you all like that too.

Concealed_Rage wrote:"DO NOT PRAY! If you pray, your hands will close together. You will not be able to fight!" - guts

is my favorite, because it holds some truth in real life too, people praying and begging for help and not standing up for themselves not doing what they have to do, waiting for a easy way out. there is only one person you can every really trust to help you, and that is yourself. also some good ones

I totally agree here, although i am catholic i still believe that only you can acheive what you want in life, no-one will hand you your dreams on a silver platter. You must work for what you want. The reliance on intervention from "god" as such is not the way to do things in life (E.g If you're broke, praying wont solve it so go and get a job you bum! no-one will just suddenly grant you a million dollar bank account) It's kinda like griffith relying on himself and only himself to follow his dream to reach the castle, He's not just latching onto someone else hoping that they'll show him the way.

The best quote is a description of Guts's sword.

"That thing... It was too big to be a sword! It was too big, too thick, too heavy and too long. It was more like a slab of iron."

I enjoyed the casual visit back to Mrs. Caska, but when he's dragging her around like a ragdoll....Pah!

I can't disagree with you more here. all these people that "distract" from guts are actually adding much more to the story as well as guts' own develpment. i just dislike it when people come to Berserk solely for action and ignore the wonderful story that Miura has created.

Post by **Quest** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 10:58 am

puck is just there for the comic relief.
i agree that some of the party are just taking up space for nothing. their purpose, however small initially, has been served and now they are just part of a cheering team. "go guts!" "he has monstrous strength!"

caska is like a sleeper agent just waiting for the call to open up a new dynamic to the story and cast.

Post by **MrFelony** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 12:46 am

I will agree with you in that puck doesnt seem to be serving as much of a purpose as he did when guts didnt have the rest of the group, however the contrast between the solitary life he once led and now the life he is living with all those around him is much diferent...however this isnt a berserk quote so lets just get back on topic lol

I find the manga much more interesting as more people join in, it makes the whole story more intriguing, and we also get to discover more about Guts's personality through interactions with the others.

Caska was awesome. when they were together it was like "finally!" and everything for like 5 pages was okay.

Now don't let me get started on how fucked up i am EVERYDAY because Caska is like this.. fucking hating guts and not doing shit EVER. Given we cant expect her to be able to hold on to any kind of sanity like guts did, but god, do i wish she did anyway. One of the hardest things to deal with while reading berserk is seeing caska and her being like that. Guts deserves at least to be with caska, right?

i always say that if i ever get ultimate power over everyone in the world, that would be the first thing i fix.

...just saying.

It'S true it is sad, but on the other end, Miura gave us great moments with that concept. Like when Guts almost raped her. When he got the armor and proteceted the girls (at the witch's house) and also when guts and Caska were holding the little boy.

Thoses were great moments. They make us long for something.

In my opinion, their story is not over and she will, at one point, get back to reality. When that happens, what a great chapter that will be !!

Post by **Fuji Nagase** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 7:37 pm

we can only hope...

i agree though. only a great comic could make myself and many other people feel so strongly.

i always wonder how she will "wake up" though. like suddenly, or in time, or during another eclipse or something. however, i just don't see it being soon.

Post by **MournfulWoods** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 9:29 pm

I don't see it happening soon either. Even when they reach Elfheim (whatever the spelling), I don't think Caska will change. I see it happening in a tense moment.

Edit: like ...I don't know, Guts doing something to protect her that will remember her of past times. Or that may even have something to do with the child

Post by **Ayanami** » Mon May 01, 2006 3:35 am

I would like to think that most people here would love to see Casca back in sanity as soon as possible. She was such a strong character and my second favorite character in the story. Hell, I had a Casca avatar for my very first avatar here on Mindwerks.

To me, perhaps because Berserk seems to be dragging as of late, her whole role in the story as a victim of the Eclipse and Guts' mental failure to protect is all tapped out. It is time they started to advance her character either as recovering or at least making some head way with her emotions towards Guts. I would love to see soon some act that Guts does in order to bring back at least a favorable impression of him in her damaged mind.

Post by **Starnum** » Mon May 01, 2006 6:30 pm

Well said Ayanami, I know exactly how you feel. Casca is one of my favorite characters as well. It'd really suck if my daughter's special namesake didn't even develop beyond this point. Of course, I can always take comfort in the fact that I'm sure she will, because Miura is too bright to fail.

Post by **Ayanami** » Mon May 01, 2006 6:44 pm

You know how I do. What can I say, I am a big Casca fan and hope that something happens to further the plot between her and Guts. I would assume if something like this is to happen, then it would happen on the boat towards Elfhelm when all the action has died down. Then again more Guts / Schierke stuff could happen.

Post by **Fuji Nagase** » Tue May 02, 2006 3:42 am

yeah, i guess we all miss caska. hell, i have her as my ava now. i cant stand how its not just that she doesn't remember guts at all, she hates him... she's been one of my all time favorite characters and now its all gone to shit. i guess she does serve a few good purposes being the way she is..but...

well, i think when they get to Elfheim (or however you spell it) something might happen. maybe the magic there can..heal her? maybe when guts comes back for her in like a year or so, she'll remember..or... i dunno, I'm just upset...

Post by **Starnum** » Mon May 08, 2006 9:26 pm

I only have one question. Why do you intentionally defy the official spelling of her name? See, with Gatts, I hate the English version of his name. It's silly, I know, but at least there's a reason. The way you spell her name, it sounds the same...I just don't get why some of you do that.

Post by **Ayanami** » Wed May 10, 2006 6:29 am

Now now Starnum, Gutts is the proper English version, so you should adhere to those rules because you are so adamant about the translations.

And I imagine the reason why people say Caska instead of Casca is because that is how it is printed on the DVDs and I imagine a lot of people got into Berserk because of the DVDs.

That's really unfair of you.

Whatever reasons you may have, you can't be adamant about spelling if you yourself don't follow what you say.

I couldn't care less about spelling these days, really.

Guts is his official name in any language, but as long as everyone knows who we're talking about, who fucking cares?

I have two fav quotes, forgive me if they're not totally accurate. They just stuck in my mind.

Random child: "Mommy, the angel fell!"

Griffith: "We are stars of a story that may never end."
Got that right.

I dont remeber Griffith saying that but you should check it out before you quoted it

I liked that Childs quote too because of the situation that was happening you could feel the dispare in the masses

Post by **SarahofBorg** » Thu May 11, 2006 12:34 am

*sigh* kind of a pain digging through all my scanlations, as I don't recall the volume number.
It was around when Griffith was building his new Band of the Hawk. I also recall it was the very last page in a chapter.
*digs*
lets see...above vol 16...before 21...er...

I really can't remember what volume it was

I personally liked the old Caska, I was recently reviewing one of the fights, with Zodd's brother or whatever, one of the apostles that looked like the abominable snow man. And was like -wow- she needs to go back to that. She never really was a great fighter, but she always had a place. I think what is so hard to grasp about current Caska, is what little of a role she plays now. Sure everyone is based around protecting her -that is why they are there- but.. We don't see much of her, the interaction between her and guts is far and few between, she had a glimpse of liking guts, then was torn away. I mean -- it just gets more brutal by the second.

The other characters. I call them tag-alongs, and I stand by my opinion in not liking them there, sure they protects Caska, but what if/when Caska comes back? Will they still have a place, will the comedic relief be needed? I don't read Berserk for comedic relief, I want the gore, the violence. Berserk up until god hand had little comedic relief, but it was beautiful it was what made us continue to read, I don't believe its needed. Solo Gutts is awesome.

But yeah a bit of ranting, little productiveness...hmm quote, one second I'll get this bitch kick started. In honor of Caska I present!!!!

Caska: "Wow... He's like a tornado." -v10c08p170

P.S. I just versed it -- I own.
