Yeah, Puck is a very cartoony character, that just emphasizes that.

Re: Little known Berserk facts...
I see now! It all makes sense if you add it to the equation!
Yes......it is as I had feared......Puck's true nature is that of a spiral being! He..............is a spy from Tengen Topa Gurren Lagan!
Only that could explain his subnormal stupidity and ridiculously high self-confidence!
The evidence is irrefutable......see for yourself:

Possibly you just answered your own question?Lara Skadi wrote:why not? they hipnotize children
Actually, brainwashing children would be fine, if Disney was at least brainwashing them into something cool, like mindless assassins or something. But they're brainwashing children into boring people, which is much harder to forgive.

Heh, I like the way you think Istvan.

Re: Little known Berserk facts...
maybe mindless boring assassins? 
I think I could be a mindless boring assassin brainwashed by Disney :p
maybe I shouldn't forgive'em for that too?

Killing people is (almost) never boring. You would have to work hard to manage to be a mindless boring assassin.Lara Skadi wrote:maybe mindless boring assassins?

Re: Little known Berserk facts...
While replaying Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, I noticed this sword. I guess I hadn't read Berserk last time I played it. The design for the sword might be taken from Berserk, rather than some lore involving the sword's name.

and the great and reliable wikipedia says:
the lance (or in some versions of the story, sword) that St George used to slay the dragon, named after the city Ashkelon

Re: Little known Berserk facts...
But if you think about it backwards if Ascalon was a dragon slaying spear, and Gut's big ol sword is called the Dragonslayer, that's a more than uncanny coincidence.

I never noticed this before - Inside Void's cape leads to another dimension/plane or something.

Re: Little known Berserk facts...
Oh, nice. Not sure if I noticed that before. That makes sense though.

That's crazy, it's like the portal stuff Void uses when Skull Knight tries to stab him.

Re: Little known Berserk facts...
Yeah, except Skull Knight got the idea for the Sword of Resonance from Void's time-space manipulation abilities. Well he made the sword to counter them, to be precise. So it's the other way around really, the sword is like Void's ability. Well kind of anyway, heh. The sword cuts through space, while Void just bends space.

Did he? Well, it's probable, I guess (though he didn't say anything about it...)Starnum wrote:Yeah, except Skull Knight got the idea for the Sword of Resonance from Void's time-space manipulation abilities.
Just wish I understood better how it works...

Re: Little known Berserk facts...
Yeah, remember at the end of the eclipse when he tried to stab Void, and Void created a portal that bent space and send SK's blade back on himself? Well the Sword of Resonance is obviously made to counter that ability. Also, the sword is made of behelits, that's where it gets its "magic" powers.

I wonder why they call him Void?

Well I guess it's not that obvious if Lara didn't realize that. >.>

Freezia? I think you mean Frieza.
Heh, you'd be pissed too if someone killed your best friend right in front of you.

In the DBZ world? I can't imagine why. It's not as if death actually means anything.Starnum wrote:Freezia? I think you mean Frieza.

Re: Little known Berserk facts...
Actually it does. Death isn't something that can be taken lightly, even if you can be wished back. You should know how much Goku hates killing, even if people just go to another dimension. Even in the end Goku couldn't completely finish off Frieza. Most importantly though, keep in mind that Krillin had been revived before, and Shinron can only revive someone from death once. At the time, as far as Goku knew, there was no way Krillin could be wished back. Plus, Goku was already pissed at Frieza for all the other people he had killed, even a child like Dende, but Krillin was his closest friend and the final straw.

Re: Little known Berserk facts...
I would agree with you, but didn't they improve the Dragon to make it more powerful so they could revive as many people as they want? I think later, as people started dropping like flies, everyone became desensitised to death. 'Oh look, Krillin died again. Whatever, let's revive him next time we get the Dragon Balls'. The only obstacle that prevented people from not reviving was if they didn't want to, like in Goku's case.Starnum wrote:Actually it does.
