Especially the creator of the manga. Rest in piss.

>>713975336
She was seething because the man she loved and idolized instantly cared more about some random guy he met one day than he did about her for her whole life.

*crunch crunch*
do you think griffith loved guts or was it something else..?

How many of you would sacrifice a loved one to the Abyss just for sex with Slan? Be honest.

>>713974962
Unflattering to say the least. They all look like shit really, the artist was going for the style used in the newer movies and it shows.

>>713975072
The movies were good. The only bad thing about them is the CG in the war scenes

Griffith needs to rape guts

Griffith saw Guts as his equal, someone he could let his mask down and be completely honest around; to be not as an infallible leader and idol, but as just a man. Of course, it's something he could never admit, not to Guts or even himself.

We did, but it wasn't set in medieval Europe and Torque, despite being an unlikeable asshole and bringing in demons with his mere presence, wasn't named Guts.

>>713976573
Didn't guts imply Griffith was a faggot at the time?

>>713978765
you can say that, but those creative freedoms is what made Berserk soo compelling in the first place
the revelations and especially "ending" of the anime is what then made me seek out reading the manga in entirety

It was all Guts's fault, if he had never left the band of the hawk, then none of what went on during the eclipse would have happened.

>zoomers don't recognize RPG Maker

>>713979541
He's autistic and misread the situation.

>>713979993
Pretty sure most of the art in the later chapters was drawn by his apprentices while he was busy with the shota loli manga.

>>713979541
that was a misunderstanding

>>713978184
yeah that's the tragedy of berserk, that the whole sequence of events was kicked off by a misunderstanding that griffith was too proud to stop, that's why the behelit worked for him.

Griffith making a comment about only being able to respect people with their own goals, drive, and ambition, working towards what they want, rather following others, and guts hearing this and thinking this is what griffith really thought of him without understanding that guts was not included in this, an exception, if you want to see it that way, as he saw guts as a partner and comrade in this, not just someone to follow his orders, the only one he truly trusts.
guts then defeating him in the duel and striking out on his own crushed griffith, his world crumbled, the only person he thought he was in this with has left and shown him incompetent, it made him accelerate his plans due to his ego and feeling like he needs to prove himself and then these carefully laid plans all backfired.

guts feels responsible for what happened and is roped into it, feeling like he needs to undo what he helped griffith get to, yet it is all based on the misunderstanding.
neither of them wanted this to happen, both were very happy with how things were.

it is such a common media cliche yet its done so well as its completely within griffiths character to act like this and guts to not follow up on it. so much of guts' character arc involves him becoming a person who would have said something and resolved this problem before it began, the guts we see as the story progressed would not gotten into this situation.

it's truly a tragedy.

>keeps living and fighting like a retarded animal with no goals

Kino, its like pottery it rhymes

>>713977683
>>713978181
I'm settled with this. Haven't heard anything from the fans saying it's worth getting back into. Isn't it also still suffering from massive delays between issues?
Anyway, at least I got a glimmer of real Casca again, even if it was right at the end. I even though the PTSD with Guts would've made for an interesting development going forward but it wasn't meant to be.

>>713980663
>Isn't it also still suffering from massive delays between issues?

>>713978181
This, they should have left it well enough alone after Miura passed away as anything afterward is just fan fiction.

>>713974858 (OP)
Because Berserk isn't good

How come the manga/anime completely shifts tone after the 97 anime/eclipse thing? I can't fucking get into the jap mindset of having cute sidekicks and silly stuff in a setting that already established itself as grimdark. Is it merchandising?

>>713978184
Imagine being this media illiterate. It's the exact opposite. He DIDN'T see him, or anyone really, as his equal, that's why he got mind broken when Guts left him and he couldn't prevent it. It was like your possession suddenly standing up and fucking off. He was just trying to impress the princess with the shit about needing muh equal to be a true friend, the moment it actually happened he lost his fucking mind.

Elden Ring's story slop is because of this retard.

Is it true Miura was a lolicon?
How important is it that a Berserk game has lolis?

>>713982649
I know how it's supposed to work Anon, I've known about Berserk longer than there's been an anime or manga in America. I'm saying the action doesn't make sense in practice because you wouldn't sacrifice someone who actually care about to be consumed by demons,, especially for some mid demon sex.

>>713983156
Miura was a true cunnysuir.

>>713976142
Dragon's Dogma 1 had something like that.

I'm kind of surprised they haven't made a Netflix adaptation yet to honor Miura's passing.

>>713978425
>that image

and yeah copying the Hagia Sophia 1:1 and putting it into a grim dark fantasy manga was super strange. Why not design your own building? Does including a copy of Constantinople mean the kushan supposed to be ottoman/arab/indian hybrids now? it completely ruined the immersion of the series for me

>>713978187
kek

Did Miura actually have the drafts to the ending before he passed? Was this confirmed?

>>713983163
To be fair, the Behelit only goes off during the peak of human despair and the God Hand fix causality in their favour, effectively railroading and grooming Apostle candidates into the sacrifice. They basically wreck your life and say "we'll fix your life if you become a demon and sacrifice your mom or whatever" afterward.

Peak Hegelian dialectic.

>>713983304
Guts already got cucked and fucked, so Netflix is not interested in this title.

First one is developed by a serial quitter so it'll never come out.
Second one is RJ01019612 and it's supposed to come out on Steam as pic related, but it's a parody of Mahoujin GuruGuru so there's no point in playing it if you've never read or watched it.

>Casca liked the rape
I think a lot of people misunderstand this mindset. Casca loved Griffith. She loved him and idolized him after her saved her life and she dedicated herself to Griffiths dream. She most likely wanted to have sex with Griffith naturally as she loved him.
The fact that she ultimately does have "sex" with him is what is so tragic. She gets what she has wanted this entire time, except it is in the most twisted and corrupted way possible. Normies can't understand this complexity because they see rape on screen and emotionally react. This is why the sex and rape in the series IS important to the story, its narratively satisfying and makes complete sense.

>>713980268
pretty good analysis. a lot of the tragedy stems from broken people who have love for each other but don't know how to express it

>>713983536
Miura never wrote any future plot points down. The entirety of the manga now is going off of what Miura told Mori about the ending/future chapters years ago.

>>713983384
Miura's students played Ass Creed Revelations, that's all

>The man is living the dream. He can literally retire from the GoT show-slop money at this point.
He is not living the dream. Money can't buy happiness (or stop someone from becoming a fat retarded libshit). GRRM is allowed to live because he caused his own suffering. He crashed out on his blog recently

>>713983980
Yeah yeah you said it already

It's like Superman, it's hard to design fun gameplay around a character for which "he wins every fight because he's the most superest strongest guy!!!" is a foregone conclusion. I think a Berserk game could only work if you didn't play as Guts, something like the Made in Abyss game, where you're just some random loser.

>>713983838
So it's pretty much a LARP
sigh
we'll never get his real ideas...

>>713984157
I know, I'm just saying that if I would have loved it, then Casca probably also would have enjoyed it when she could.

I generally agree that the art has been getting better since Miura died, but Gaga has had some really weird proportions, especially with Guts. The same goes for the story and pacing, both of which have improved under Gaga's direction while there is still a lot to improve on.

>>713984751
ok bud

Looking back, the morning comes
Don't find your face in your grass

>>713984906
She still went out of her way to follow Griffith after falling in love with Guts and sacrificed everything to save his ass from being tortured. She clearly still idolized him and saw him as her leader

>>713983156
he'd be defending creative freedoms to the point of getting involved politically if he was still here
all this recent stuff would've been devastating for his heart though

>>713984331
I like both
I just hope that not-Claymore game gets to have its sequel

>>713982893
GRIFFITH NOOOO DON'T FLASH SCHIERKE AAAIIEEE

>>713984698
I doubt Griffith would enjoy anything sexual unless he's with Guts
He's the type to kiss and blow with his eyes open, fully sober, the entire time because he's getting something out of this.

>>713984331
Claymore ended well, while narrowly dodging a shit twist.
I never felt it had the depth of Berserk at it's peak, but it's definitely a fun romp and there's at least a half dozen characters I love in there

>>713983780
well said. plus let's be real unless you're hideous if you stimulate certain parts of the female body the woman will get some pleasure out of it. Despite this I don't doubt that Casca would have denied Griffith at this point in the story if she was physically able to

>>713984103
Unironically, George has been depressed for a while. He talked a bit back about visiting Tolkien's grave, he's now thinking fully about legacy and which one he'll leave behind now that he's getting on in years. It's a bid sad. Then you realize it's been 14 years since Dance of Dragons came out.

Sex is also inherently pleasurable. I would imagine that people who have been raped in a non-violent manner are distraught that their body could betray their mind. Regardless of the physicality of the act, she's very clearly heartbroken during and after the Eclipse.

>>713984629
No she didn't, at all. She was going to take care of Griffith by herself after they rescued him.

"love" is a bit of a loaded term in this context
Guts was his favorite toy. He OWNED Guts. Guts leaving was as if your gaming PC grew legs, beat you up, and walked out of the door.
It wasn't romantic love, it was a sense of superiority and narcissistic ownership.

every other fantasy series that I find with western theming always ends up being cringelennial Critical Role style hot garbage or doesn't come close to the level of emotional depth and grimdark aesthetics that I've come to enjoy from Berserk. So to answer your question: yes.

>>713980268
>without understanding that guts was not included in this, an exception
I'd have to reread, but I thought he specifically mentioned Guts in the conversation about the bonfire of dreams.

>>713986137
Why the fuck he made Griffith so masculine???

>>713986582
I tried to watch the anime and I couldn't, Guts and Griffith's voices are way different than what I imagined them to be, both in JP and English. Guts sounds too gruff and Griffith sounds too masculine.

>>713986582
The fairy is actually kinda cute...

>>713976870
Griffith only cared about his dream. His "love" for Guts is the same type of "love" a mechanic has for their car lift. They NEED it to complete their goals.

>>713986876
It's funny how it took Miura dying for Puck to become a character again and not just a background joke with zero story relevance that turns into Yoda every now and then

>>713986760

he's a military commander. He has to sound resolute and confident.

>>713986992
Griffith only cared about his fucking "dream" until he realized he was pre-ordained for it and discovered love for guts, which intermingled between true friendship and genuine love which he only saw as a tool before. Which is why he gets giga assmad when both of his new discovered and appreciated feelings gets rebuked by Guts. It's like a new, better dream than than one he is destined to have is shattered in front of his eyes and all he can do is watch and suffer, blaming guts for allowing him to experience these new feelings.

Guts made Griffith care about something other than his dream that's the whole point of his character. He loved Guts but not romantically. He had philia with a little bit of agape for Guts

A story isn't just a beggining, middle and an end. It's how characters interact with each other, the expressions drawn of their faces, the paneling, how the story flows etc. Miura probably had a rough idea on the end of the story but how to get there is what matters, and since he's not here anymore no matter how well trained his successors are it's not his manga we're reading but a "what if". No need to be adversarial about it.
I also don't have much hopes considering the mastermind behind all this is the dude who made Holyland.

New chapter is up, too, not even three weeks after the last one.

Love this page.

Conviction (Lost Children) > Black Swordsman > Millennium Falcon (pre-boat) > Golden Age > Conviction (post-Lost Children) > Fantasia (so far) > Millennium Falcon (post-boat)

The flaw with the end of Millennium Falcon was keeping the party together. Farnese and Schierke overstayed their welcome as party members. They should have been side characters in Fantasia since Schierke would be part of the new Band of the Hawk with Sonia and Farnese would be a noble that would have face time with Griffith.

Current Farnese is pretty damn boring, she's just a lesser Schierke. Sits back, does nothing but some light magic here and there. It's as easy to forget about her as Isidro. I miss crazy Inquisitor Farnese, at least she was involved in the plot. Guts' party being this big was a mistake.

Ive seen this character designers work before, he did the anime designs for ai no kusabi, never saw that but it looked like a really melodramatic and cloying, cringe bdsm yaoi even by yaoi standards

But i will say that dudes designs usually look really good. I wouldve thought giving him the berserk designs wouldve worked out but something about these movie designs is just off. Griffith stands out in particular as just like what the fuck... this is not my griffith

Pic below, thats my griffith. They fucked up guts and casca too but i cannot put my finger on whats wrong with them. I guess guts looks a little fat faced? Hairline a little too low?

>>713977683
Until I see a proper conclusion I'm kinda content with the last chapter Miura drew
>they're all on the island
>Casca has her memories back and while it's painful to see Guts, she's strong and can maybe one day recover
>Guts, by finally finding another band and opening himself up to them, was able to save Casca
>they're safe from whatever Griffith has planned thanks to the fairy queen
>Guts gets to finally rest
It wasn't an intended ending, but it works as one until I see how the guy that took over handles later chapters. I feel for him in some ways since even if I'm being an optimist and he does have the best intentions in the world, how the fuck do you fill in those shoes? Realistically he's gonna milk this shit and we'll have a warped, tainted view of Miura's work but still, in the best of cases he's having to stand on the shoulder of a giant and continue a work that has influenced dark fantasy for longer than many of its fans have been alive for

Yeah, Farnese becoming a witch was a massive mistake.

I don't mind Guts having a party, but I wish it would change because it's hard to keep doing new things for the character. Schierke and Farnese have completed their arcs a hundred chapters ago and didn't need to go to Elf Island.

>>713988739

Most people don’t even know that the entire hoard of apostles killing the rest of the band of the hawk got what they wanted from Casca first. Bitch got made air tight by monsters from hell.

>>713990671

Men usually sound like men IRL, even if they are effeminate twinks. It's impossible to hide the sound of your gender in your voice without deliberately forcing it.

>>713983780
She didn't want it at all, being violated by someone you previously trusted so much and looked up to would be horrific. People always forget being that close to an apostle was also causing her physical and psychological agony due to the brand, she was in terrible physical pain the entire time it was going on and going by her facial expressions, pretty delirious and out of her mind. Her brain is basically frying in her skull the entire time.

I think it's absolutely incredible how fast the quality of Berserk drops after the Eclipse. The only other arc worth a damn was Conviction, but that arc started the shounen-style find-a-friend party bullshit that has derailed the core conflict for like ten fucking years.

>>713990882
They didn't, they were about to when Femto interrupts. Guts sees them about to penetrate her with a spiked tentacle and goes berserk, kills a ton of them trying to get to her.

No. He cared about Guts because Guts has been key to achieving his dreams. Before him, the Band of the Hawk were small time. Guts elevated them to attending parties with royalty. Griffith was SO close to achieving his dream of obtaining his own Kingdom and it was all thanks to Guts, so when Guts left Griffith literally lost his fucking mind and made a desperate act to secure his future. Because he knew full damn well without Guts as his Trump Card any battle they get into is gonna be alot harder to succeed in if not outright impossible. No winning battles means no longer having the favor of the King and not being around the Princess.

That's the point though, Griffith is supposed to be so beautiful that he seems inhuman at times, even before Femto. He should sound completely androgynous, almost alien-like. You even had multiple people even commenting on Griffith being this otherworldly man, he's not supposed to sound like a regular guy.

Berserk was so good that it opened my eyes. Now I can finally see that 99% of other manga are so irredeemably trash that they should be dropped halfway through the very first chapter.

>>713990745
Yeah, but you should absolutely start with Black Swordsman since it's the whole setup even if the writing isn't as good. If you really can't get over his smugness for whatever reason, start with Lost Children and maybe the following chapters with Farnese/Rape Horse before Golden Age since Guts is still in his asshole phase, but this is still a bit stupid.

I gave up on the continuation of the manga a very long time ago, i think when Guts fell into the Earth after the tree/island collapsed and Griffith stole his girl, again.
Even if the guy was Miura's best friend, had discussions about where the manga was going, and the team can do a very good job emulating his style, its just not the same. It's been over for a long time now.

>>713991739
Oh yeah I'm not saying to not read it by any means, I just accept there's a lot of initial release weirdness that gets smoothed over wonderfully in later chapters and that slight early chapter jank only happened because Miura was still young and still figuring out the character Guts would become.
Like I don't think even Miura himself in retrospect liked Guts fucking a woman that turned into a demon at the start of the whole thing considering Guts was a victim of rape and loves Casca so it's really out of character even during the total nihilistic asshole period he starts out in. But it's still a great intro to the character and starts to really smooth out past the first quarter

You can have ambiguity while bringing about a satisfying conclusion anon. Explaining things too much can cheapen the whole story, sometimes having a few nuggets of mystery at the end of a tale is fun

>>713988651
I hate people saying this shit becuase it seems the theme of the entire show went completely over their head. This shit is why anime is all the same shonen shit over and over and you cant have stuff like Berserk replicated, people expect anime that has action to have the action sequences be the whole entire point of the show and not for it to even have a point.

I loved the story so much, but it hits as hard as it does because he had the insane artistic skill and japanese dedication/autism to do the level of work he did.

the entire pre final arc and ending was just the author throwing an aggressive tantrum because he was going through a serious depression phase because Prison School became so huge and popular that his other more serious manga (that he cared about deeply) was much less successful. the 80% of the series is still amazing but that last 20% drags it down and leaves a bad taste. the author threw away a lot of incredibly great narrative potential just to show the readers and his publisher a middle finger (pic very related). I didn't hear anything about him having plans to "fix" the series. I really hope it's true desu. an updated re-run with a proper ending ala Shaman King Kanzenban would be Godlike

>>713991648

You can't. The continuation is speedrunning the cliffnotes/plot beats left behind and characterization is left by the wayside. It is being done with the intention of finishing the story but not "completing" his work, so at least it's not being milked.

I get that perspective, but I'm still treating it as there being a diamond in it and there's still a chance we can end up with something really special if it just gets polished more. It's like when a friend is telling a story and another of your buddies starts to add on more details. You'll never get the story how it was supposed to go in full, but their perspective can color it in a nice way. So I'm going to hope that Miura's friend can make an incredible color that makes me feel like it's their story, even if it's not Miura's story now, if that makes sense.

>maybe, I dont have to kill Griffith, maybe I can settle down and start a life I never knew I wanted, while the world rages and tries to control it I will simply live in it
Its coming anon, you know it is. Guts is going to kneel before Griffith and say "Im sorry" and Griffith is going to freak out and become maddened with the realization that even after everything Guts is the one that outgrew him, and Guts is going to walk off into the sunset to live the remainder of a happy life having left everything behind.

>>713994064
>using a retard as a sex prop in a threesome
devilish

>>713986701
No, he did not mention Guts in that conversation.

>>713994152
pretty low effort bait anon, I would personally use less obvious buzzwords next time

>>713994064
Now this is good, Casca with Guts and Griffith is disgusting.
>>713994153
Short hair, this is after she recovered her sanity.

>>713993126
I love Berserk and BotI but still rank BotI above Berserk, even tho I can see it is derivative of Berserk in many ways , at least initially. It's kind of a more warm and human story than Berserk despite being equally violent and cynical. Could also be me baby ducking on the first manga that I read ofc. Samura's art has more of a sense of dynamism but Miura wins on composition and the extremely fresh use of negative space

Is Ohhikoshi any good?

>>713993608
After I clear out some of my video game and book backlog? Hell, why not? Been a long time

>>713993994
It's not a medieval one but I'd recommend Blame!
Also try Kingdom

>>713994064
I thought Judeau was straight

>>713993924
What do you propose happens after Griffith dies, where does that leave Guts.

>>713993929
>well suffer in hell when we die, so we will make heaven on earth today while we live.
It writes itself. Like, what do you think Snake did at the end of MGS, go and join a mercenary company and go right back to killing? Or did he go and start living the last of his days as a normal person, which is what he wanted.

Seriously, its going to happen, the response is going to be biblical. Berserk isnt a shonen shiheap, characters change and evolve in it, what do you think Guts, Casca and Griffiths final form looks like considering their arcs. They are not going to end the story as the same characters from the begining.

>>713993956
I don't know what Gordian Knot means, you intellectual fuckwit, but Jacob's Ladder has no ambiguity. He's hallucinating while dying in 'Nam.

>>713974858 (OP)
There was a pretty good Berserk ASCII roguelike.

>>713994338
shame Ive already read those, BLAME! is probably up there as one of my favourite manga next to Dorohedoro

>>713994447
Oh, you're retarded, carry on then

>>713993226
Shigurui is a masterpiece
reminder Miura saw Shigurui as Berserk's rival manga.

>>713994446
>well suffer in hell when we die, so we will make heaven on earth today while we live
Unbelievably fucking bleak and retarded. You don't seem to understand what it means that if you're branded, you'll spend ETERNITY being skullfucked by razor tentacles until the end of all times, for such an unquantifiable amount of time your brain cannot comprehend it. It'll be letting Femto win. It'll be letting the Godhand keep commiting atrocities for ages to come, and letting Skullbro down. It'd be being a struggler no more.

so...did the manga end? Like did anyone continue it?

>>713991660
Spee D. reader strikes again. Didn’t read the volume and just speed down straight to the only page he remembers.

>>713994791
sweet, I wonder how long till it finishes

>>713991687
Orgasming at all would probably stop your heart from tearing a hole inside itself at the ripe old age of 50 something
Did you read his diaries between volumes?
His mention that he can’t go to any of the festivals yearly because he gets “exhaustion” too soon?
His fucking heart was aged by the stress.
Getting to cum relieves stress. Having sex may make you exhausted but eustress is still beneficial.
You fucking people are too goddamned tarded to talk to.

>>713984565
No. The huge lower lip looks dumb.

>>713974962
He looks haunting because he has an excuse to see Guts naked again.

>>713994653
Not that Anon and I agree with you, but how do you tie the message Miura was hammering down on us with the fact that they really should try to put an end to the cosmic bullshit that will send them to hell?
Miura was really pushing the idea of not letting rage consume you and appreciating what you have before you lose it.

>>713994653
Well thats the thing isnt it, Berserk is not going to have a happy ending, trying to theorize it that the good guys complete their goals and everyone lives happily ever at the end is not Berserk.

Bleak would be the word I would use, yes. Again, remember the story this is taking place in, there is not going to be a happy ending, just an ending.

>>713991896
Quick rundown?

>>713994537
it's a manhwa but hear me out here before you dismiss it

>>713978184
Dude, that fag saw Guts as his best tool to get his goal and when Guts left, he knew he was fucked and thus when into an emotional tantrum that made him lost years of preparation and work, with him being thrown in torture rape jail further breaking the shit out of him physically and mentally.
Basically that bitch couldn't accept that people could be anything but his tools and when his sharpest tool decides to leave, his reality crumbled into shit.
It was Guts that saw the fag as a friend, equal and idol but hearing him say he didn't saw Guts as the same is what made Guts try to find his way to prove the fag that he was actually worthy.
Verification not fucking required

>goonspergrapetards don't pog when protag of goonspergrapetard manga ends up being a victim of gooning sperging rape and tardation
For guys who knew what you were coming into and whose most favorite thing to mention is rape and suffering and evil and the inevitability of suffering, you lot sure can't let go and give far too much of a shit about the world and the characters and their reactions when most of the time characters acting and going for their dreams and more has caused nothing but harm pain and further inhumanization. You're looking for a good end in a series that is clearly never going to get it, get the copium gas masks off.

>miuras bff is continuing the manga
No one here read berserk or even the publication in Young Animal following his death.
None of you cared. You’re all just a bunch of bandwagoning faggots who don’t even know what happened during the eclipse.
Collectively remove yourselves from the metrics which quote you as demographics as you belong nowhere let alone here.

>>713995023
I don't see Berserk as a bleak tragedy, to me Berserk is about struggling but never giving up.

>>713995083
as long as the MC isnt some insufferable cunt with a power fantasy needing to kill all his mean school bullies I will

the story just keeps going in circles now because they new guys don't know what the fuck to do with it:

>they get attacked
>so they go somewhere else (yet another boat ride)
>they get attacked
>so they go somewhere else (arabia)
>they get attacked
>so they go somewhere else (forest)

We’re both well aware you don’t read anything but these posts are happening within seconds

How did you know either of us despite the copycat posting style were different end users?

>>713994945
I feel the main theme of the narrative is simple: struggle against adversity. Guts started doing that from the moment he was born off a hanged corpse. The theme would be pointless if it ended poorly, and Guts won't stop until his friends are all safe which won't happen with Fantasia ever expanding outwards threatening to consume the entire world under Griffith's rule. The Behelit Sword was introduced to make the Godhand vulnerable, and Moonlight Boy was introduced to make Griffith vulnerable. However the plot ends, I don't see the Godhand surviving. The Band of the Hawk will 100% be avenged.

Funny how that worked out.

>>713995586
That a kangaroo?

>>713995293
I think Griffith would not die but he might have been forced to live inside Moonlight boy.
If you consider that to kill Griffith is to kill Guts and Casca's child, Guts would hesitate.
Maybe the Moonlight Boy would be Griffith's eternal prison, one where he is forced to feel the pain he's caused.
This already sort of happened as the time dillation in Elfhelm forced Griffith to experience several days of human feelings inside the boy.

>>713995586
Moonchild is cute! CUTE!

>>713995214
In the words of a good game, it doesn't matter if you reach the end, it matters if you paid for the game. I got a You, so I won. Just suck it up boys, your ride is by definition meant to be miserable.

>>713995832
I wish Guts was my dad.

>>713992896
I am not even sure if Griffith's speed was superior at that point. Just because he is smaller and graceful doesn't necessarily mean he is faster.

>>713995874
>I got a You, so I won
Here, have another one.

>>713995987
Appreciate it, thanks anon have one in return.

>>713993704
>the boy was just Griffith the whole time
>this was never mentioned again after the reveal
Biggest disappointment ever.

>>713995293
>>713995634
Yeah, I think the doomers forgot about these.
Granted, I don't think it will be a simple "hack-n-slash everyone to death for good end" and could still involve Griffith having some character struggle.

>>713996187
>this was never mentioned again after the reveal
probably because the author died

>>713995832
Moonchild's cute peepee

>>713996187
>the boy was just Griffith the whole time
He's not, he's the fetus that haunted Guts now sharing a body with Griffith. At night, if it's a full moon, the boy takes over.
Unless you just mean the characters never talked about it post Miura's death. Which yeah, Miura would definitely have written more character interactions. That's part of why the new shit feels so hollow.

>>713978389
This

>>713976142
My headcanon ( correct ) is that only the most viles of apostles participate in the eclipse. Thus you only see insect/horribly twisted type apostles.
The more noble/knight like apostles didn't show up.

>>713978284
>>713978191
mind broken retards

can they even make a proper berserk game with all the nudity, rape and over the top gore? what publisher would touch it? also it would be impossible to stream and we all know that's what companies care about

>>713996421
wasn't the reveal during a full moon?
also now there are two griffiths?

>>713984751
I'd say that (romantic) love is pretty exclusive anon, otherwise harems/polycules wouldn't be so doomed to fail. What your describing is infatuation, not romance.

>>713996967
Griffith just used the Moonlight Boy's body to become fully physical instead of just astral

>>713991694
the dialogue in that one was so absolutely horrid it ruins anything it tried to do. Also raki sucks cock.

>>713993994
Different from berserk but I'm nostalgic still for Ubel Blatt. And claymore.

>>713996967
Time in Elfhelm is different, Griffith's transformation is according to the passage of time outside Elfhelm.
I don't think there are two Griffith's, I'm not sure what you mean? We see Griffith's hair turning black when he is sleeping with the princess during a full moon, then he uses the tree thing to travel as the boy to Guts and Casca.

>>713988596
This is the goat

Shigurui is amazing both visually and in writing, ontop of being the kind of manga that filters people IMO (the anime even filters with its glacial pacing) but I have no clue where Miura ever mentioned it.

>>713976870
Griffith was possive of Guts. He viewed him as his property, something beneath him. His fondness for him was similar to the affection one would feel toward a pet.

>>713994064

>>713998169
*possesive.

>>713998401
> choosing not to have sex with a man
> gay
you dont know what that word means

So the story was headed to where guts was obviously going to make the opposite choice to griffith about sacrificing things for his dream. But was there going to be a twist or something more profound to it other than don't be an asshole and the world is still shitty?

>>713986181
The only two medieval manga stories I've liked are Berserk and Vinland Saga and Vinland have moments where it seemingly just jumps the shark seemingly at random
>Hey, look at this fairly realistic depiction of waterfront warfare!
>Wait, did that 7'5 tall viking just JUMP 20 fucking meters from a standstill and land on a moving boat?
>Did he just throw a log 3x his size that was heavy enough to sink a fucking raiding ship?
>Did that 16yr old just jump over 10 meters of water, slam his steel knives into a castle wall and scale it like fucking spiderman?
>Oh well! Back to a semi-realistic depiction of viking history!

>>713998589
Yes.
Struggle.

take a sip bro. it's totally not gay bro. drinking from the same cup is a bro thing bro. no homo bro. it's what bros do all the time bro. broski bro. bros are doing a lot of bro not homo things together like handling their bro hands like true bros and cuddling naked in bed like true bros. no totally no homo bro

>>713974858 (OP)
Zoomers really don't know, huh?

>>713998579
It's obviously gay not to fuck a bro who's that much into you. You're betraying your friendship, which is a very feminine, low thing to do.

>>713998473
Man, it was around the time KT was trying to make a musou out of everything.

>>713998401
Is cock is already cut off before Casca and Guts become a couple.

>>713993226
Shiguriu is also excellent

>>713991010
NTA, but it is implied that the apostles had their way with her first. Casca has a vision of the Apostles violating her when fighting off the three assholes in the beginning of the Millennium Falcon arc, and in her dreamscape she's haunted by reminders of her rape well before Schierke and Farnese get to where her dream equivalent of Femto is.

>>713998702
this but unironically

>>713998473
>KT decides to censor casca's nudity
>someone gets the idea of covering her up with tentacles
>ends up making it look like casca gets her nipples fondled and tentacle raped

>>713976335

>>713998898
Probably one of the worst dynasty warriors games I've ever played.

>>713998747
Have you fucked your bro?

>>713998839
I remember it being misery porn but somehow done good

>>713998810
Damn, that midget torturer even cut off his dick?

>>713998938
That's very unfortunate. I may try it at the very least since I have it.

>>713998961
Of course. Total castration would probably be the first thing for raping the princess.

>>713998961
I think he just gave him a circumcision.
He enjoyed torturing thorugh removing the skin carefully without dismembering anything, other than the tongue.

>>713998839
Shigurui genuinely made me uncomfortable at times. If it succeeds in making me feel something then it deserves to be called a masterpiece.

>>713998926
The underage princess was a virgin so she wasn't experienced and let Griffith do all the work as he fucked her

>>713999060
it took a very long time, but we actually got to see how fucked up he was late in the manga. No tongue, tendons slashed, burned and impaled everywhere

>>713998957
Well it's written as a tragedy about not only the characters but the samurai society at large, and thankfully it actually tries to do good on its message too.
The only fumble I can think of in the manga is the frog, but Yamaguchi couldn't keep going since as far as I heard the story made him too upset to keep going.

>>713998950
We live in peaceful times so it wasn't needed. I'm always there for my bro though. If hard times come, I'll be ready to come too.

>>713998961
probably worse than that
remember Captain King wanted her first time instead

>>713989945
fuck off diddy

>>713999171
You have to respect the torturer's skill for keeping him alive in this wretched state.

>>713999318
What do you think he did with his nipples?

>>713999171
Imagine how fucking good nutting inside of Casca must've felt after having been tortured like this for a year.

>>713993550
>I wanted the MC to breed that blond bitch

Hana was fucking unhinged and obssesive. not even in a funny or "GIWTWM" kind of way. just genuinely gross, unnerving, pathological, and destructive towards Kiyoshi despite her seemingly innocent reason and intentions. she's like the kind of awkward girl at your school that targets you out of everyone and won't ever leave you the fuck alone. I don't think her obsessive fan base really knows what they want. being around a girl like her irl would be a fucking nightmare. she's a emotionally and mentally juvenile femcel that creates more and more problems for herself and others in her life becouse of her own refusal to grow the fuck up. there's nothing wrong with being a hormonal teen and having problems when it comes to speaking about your feelings but this bitch has taken it up to a whole new level that makes it tasteless

>>713999318
Seeing that freaky little midget piece of shit get impaled through the door was so cathartic.

>>713999476
Absolutely.

>>713974858 (OP)
How many chapters came out after the Casca dream with penis dogs?
Haven't read since that and wanna know if it even worth starting again

>>713999437
He got his cock and balls back and busted the biggest nut inside Casca for all we know the moonchild might even be of his own seed

>>713999218
>but Yamaguchi couldn't keep going since as far as I heard the story made him too upset to keep going.
I'm curious about this, what were his thoughts about the story?

>>713999171
After being reduced to that, as evil as his betrayal may have been it's understandable.

>>713999171
that's fucking amazing

>>713999857

>>713999829
Yeah you're probably right.

>>713999857
Farnese can watch

>>713999796
its also worth noting that he was trying to fucking kill himself when the behelit washed up next to him, and his blood triggered the eclipse. it was literally fate, it couldn't be helped
>>713999803
his art DID get really bad for a while while he was adjusting to digital art (he was also probably sick as hell but never said anything publicly) but he was really good again towards the end.

>>713999819
Welcome to the club brother. Most of us have been here for a while, but new friends are always welcome. Now we can grieve for the rest of our lives, together

>>713999716
I can't recall where I read it at this point but basically, since the story of the manga was an adaptation of "The Tournament at Sunpu Castle", it was supposed to continue with going into the story of all the fighters in the manga. Including spearbro, pacifist swordsman, the frog and the tomboy. In the book it eventually ends with Fujiki and co trying to quit with Tadanaga's insane tournament, and we know things did not end well for Tadanaga historically either.
This meant you'd get some in-depth "backstory" for all the fighters, probably being just as haunting as Seigen and Fujiki's, but the issue for Yamaguchi as far as I heard was that it was legitimately making him depressed to keep working on it.
I think ever since then his manga have been much happier in tone as a result.

It was a strange kind of love only a narcissistic psychopath like him could experience, that is why love turned into apocalyptic hatred and obsession the second Guts defeated him, Guts felt deep respect for Griffith, and brotherly love, that turned into Crushing guilt after finding out griffith was turned into a shell of a man after leaving the band of the Hawk, and then burning hatred after the Eclipse, both men loved each other during the 100 years war and then hated each other after their betreyal, in their unique complex ways

Pretty interesting, thank you for sharing this with me.
I don't blame him. The story of Fujiki and Seigen was a total tragedy, born in poverty, in the lowest position among the hierarchical society of feudal japan, both found a way to be considered a real person among their peers, only to lose it all.

>>714000304

Years later now, I wish we had.

There has to be a better way

>>714000879
Because he's at the lowest point he's been since Black Swordsman after the Elven Island disappeared and Griffith took Casca. He's as suicidal as back then except now he has a party of people to care for and Casca's in active danger vs having been left with Godot, but still he wants to die. The tomb's not gonna be a literal tangible power-up, it's just gonna fix his head.

why are canadians like this?

I think the only real issue for the manga as a result is that the tomboy/frog plot never resolves as the events behind that are later in the book, but as far as the Kogan school plot goes it's pretty much a masterpiece.

Acknowledging that loli is only meant for the peak of masculinity.

I was losing interest in the late half section of it but the ending was pure kino and I loved the monster designs. Both are good but I thought Berserk was better.

Berserk is basically not /a/ to me. It transcends the genre. That's why it has such a wide appeal

I'm proud of you Berserk chads.

>Conviction (Lost Children) > Black Swordsman > Millennium Falcon (pre-boat) > Golden Age > Conviction (post-Lost Children) > Fantasia (so far) > Millennium Falcon (post-boat)
pretty good list. Only change I'd make is putting Golden Age above Black Swordsman. That being said my favorite episode from the '97 anime is the first one because it's the only one that shows Guts fully kitted out as the Black Swordsman

I found some related stuff
>I missed out on going to Takayoshi Yamaguchi's autograph session with my assistant. What a pity! (1994, No. 19)
>The most interesting period drama of all time is not Musashi or Shinsengumi, but Yamaguchi Takayoshi's Shigurui. (2004, No.7)

strugglers, is Berserk a manga for nazis?

Reminder.

Griffith did not have a purely utilitarian view of Guts that's retarded
