WTF? Wylde was so not kin to Zodd in anyway.

Next to Griffith and Gatts, Casca was the most skilled person in the hawks. So, she was an amazing fighter. She may not compare to supernatural montsers, but that doesn't mean she wasn't a great warrior.
FightClub wrote: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.
I don't know what the hell you're talking about. The rest of Gatts' crew isn't only there to protect Casca. They all have their own reasons for why they follow him, and those reasons aren't based on Casca. You need to go back and re-read this shit or something. Solo Gatts would just be the same shit all over again. It's called plot and character development, and it's a good thing, deal with it.

Just like Starnum said, Casca was easily the best swordswoman (:P) of the Hawks, which is saying something!

I'm quite curious to how Miura is going to solve the dillema between her and Gatts (it's spelled Gatts btw, here in Brazil - the official comic version). Will she only stop hating him after the heal? Before? Not even after?

As for the other guys in the crew...how could you hang around reading Berserk is something like the last 10 volumes were just these chars development and their interaction with Gatts?

I love their chars, and no history can go as long as Berserk has without plot and character development!

Of course, the gore and guts are cool, but not pointlessly thrown at us.

That was all...really sorry my spelling, not my first language and I got confused sometimes.

PS.: WTF? Wylde's Zodd's Brother? To much SW-ish lol

Wow, thanks Starnum, I wasn't aware that I am not allowed to have an opinion. Thanks for the correction [/sarcasm]

Well, now you know.

Please, get real, don't try to pawn that shit off as opinion. That's just a lame attempt at trying to play it off. You think Wylde is Zodd's brother, and you're trying to get us to think that it's a matter of opinion. Shit, maybe if you had something to base it off of. The only thing you said that could be considered an "opinion", was that you thought solo Gatts is awesome. Meh, if you like shallow plot, whatever. I was just trying to clue you in, don't get butt-hurt about it. With a name like Fight Club, you should understand how it is. ;)

#1: Sorry yes I did, and yes I will continue to.

#2:Was it? I thought your fruedian attempt to analyze me was even more lame.

#3:I'm glad that you know, what I know, better than myself. I guess you're entirely too sophisticated for me. :shrugs:

#4:My opinion, so sure.

#5:Well I appreciate that.

But that said, Zodd, and the yeti look the same, they're both apostles, where does it say they're not brothers? Everything is a possibility. Oh well. You want to blow it out of proporition, well there is is, singled out for you. Enjoy, chum.

Whatever, I think I made my point. Besides, the real question is where does it say they ARE brothers. It's not my case to disprove your "opinion". You can believe whatever you want, but if you want other people to take your opinions seriously, you might try backing them up with some substantial reasoning.

If they were brothers why would he kill him over all the little humans all over the place, plus they look nothing a like Wyld had like two bodys, five eyes and was an ape, a pink pussy ass ape at that. Zodd is a bad ass looking beast demon with horns ( well now he has a horn but anyway) So shut up about the brothers the only thing they had in common is that they are/were apostles. If you want to talk about it post in the stupid theories thread.

Fightclub, that´s a fandom theory, ok?

You just like to think that Wylde is Zodd´s brother just for the hell of it, there are no proofs, not even hints that may relate them as brothers, you have no ground to base those theories of yours.

There´s a diference between fandom and opinions based on canon.

You mean a Fan-dumb theory, hence the reference to the stupid theories thread :twisted:

"He appeared right in front of me, and he wasn't a demon... but what looked like a human. As if he'd been yanked from before into the present unchanged. I gazed at him and for a second... I forgot to kill him."

This seems to be the most outstanding quote "by Gatts". He said that when spotted griffith on the sword cemetary near Goto's home, and before the fight with Zodd. I think this is my favorite one...

Ahah! Some one didn't believe me on a certain quote. I wasn't absolutely exact, but I got the idea, and it's a translation anyway. I finnally found the page, it's volume 22, chapter 8, page 176.

Back on Topic:

Heres a couple of my favorites, that I think havn't been posted yet.

From Volume 16

You say it doesn't matter where. If you follow me, this is where you'll go.
This is your Eden. You run from it. It is no Eden.

And from V17

Or did you think the clergy were the only people around who know how to burn someone?

The only favorite quote I can remember was Puck calling Guts "The Heartless Swordsman."
The look on his face was priceless when guts said it to himself.
I cant find the manga chapter though ><;
Can someone post it please?

Ayanami, fix your email address. I'm tired of getting bounced email.

Same goes for Oro.

My bad, hate to sound like an interweb newb, but I can't find my email address in my profile. Is there some where else that I need to change it in?

Have a new favorite quote from the newest episode of Berserk...

"...Like I would care about pissing contests between monsters."

Seriously, I love the way Gatts was talking in the new chapter. We definitely need to keep doing it that way. ;)

I agree to an extent. It only makes sense if he's talking to something like an apostle or some other kind of entity he dislikes. If he talked that harshly during regular conversation with his crew it would take away from the grwoth his character has made. You don't talk that way to your family :)

But hearing talk that way to an apostle reminded me that Guts is a bad mother fucker that takes shit from nobody. I haven't gotten that feeling from straight up dialog in months (possibly even a year).

Oh well of course he doesn't need to be going around dropping F-bombs constantly. I mean, there's a time and a place. However, when it's appropriate, it's totally the way to go. ;)
