I just caught up with the series and am severely butthurt that Kentaro Miura died before finishing it. The last page he left was the biggest "HOLY FUCKING SHIT" moment it could have left of on (extremely fitting for Griffith's theme of longing). Is there any hope of this series not going to royal shit now that the rest of the crew has taken it over?
I hope they don't skimp on the Puck visual gags. Dude makes for some great reaction faces.
>>286225128What was the last page he left?
>>286225369
He's seen some shit
>>286225597yo be fair if you’re gonna die suddenly of your heart exploding this is a pretty good panel to go out onRIP to the most based of all mangaka
Why did he do it?
>>286225128Zero hope. They've already fucked it up beyond repair. They made Guts an actual pathetic bitch, did a bunch of completely nonsensical plot developments. It's only going to get more shockingly bad going forward.
>>286226447It is rather reminiscent of the end of Blade Runner. Was Miura a replicant all along?
>>286225128My reaction to that information
ayoop
>>286227279If I looked like sting on crack I would go mental too
>>286225128Continuance is good
>>286227279>Be in love>Your stupid girlfriend gets obsessed with a baby that was literally found in a pile of guts and afterbirth >Caring for the baby makes her tired and ill>Dies >Now you have a kid to look after>Might as well train him to work for you>Get upset when he shows more natural talent than you>Lose your leg in a battle >Really need 3 silver coinsThat's all it boils down to really. He had bad trauma and didn't acknowledge it
>>286225128was that really the last panel? i thought it was the shota.
>>286225128Don't know how others feel about the manga after muira but I think it's okay. I haven't really seen enough of it to judge yet. The plot pace has really picked up and the art still seems okay to me.
>>286227279For 3 silver coins, duh. Gotta feed the dog.
>>286227279Same reason Griffith sacrificed Guts. They blamed him for love leading to someone's downfall
>>286231983It was this >>286225597But yes it was the shota, which is some serious fucked up shit. Just when I thought Griffith couldn't sink lower, he manages to pull this shit off>>286232184I'm worried we'll never see Isma again. Very bizarre that she dips out, but Puck and Ivalera remained.
>Guts was all ready to leave the Band of the Hawk quietly>Griffith probably would have assumed that Guts was assassinated for his hand in bringing down the Crown>Everyone would have loved happily ever after>Casca has a WOMAN moment and tells Griffith that Guts is leaving and he should confront him, leading to Griffith getting mindbroken and the events of the EclipseCasca is a dick.
Is my theory schizo bros?>Griffith as Femto has some understanding of Causality and can see how little tweaks can have long term effects>Rapes Casca setting Guts on the path of the Black Swordsman, increasing the relevance of the Holy See and ensuring his own rebirth 2 years later>Also rapes her knowing he'd corrupt the child, and that the Egg of the World would show pity to it and thus give him a direct line to Guts and Casca as the Moonlight Boy>Casca's rape mind breaks her, knowing that Guts will try to restore her mind through magical means he has a direct path to the Spirit Trees and Elfhelm, which he destroys>Turns up on Elfhelm to take Casca captic now he's destroyed the biggest threat to his army ("One magic user is more deadly to his army that 10,000 soldiers")Did Griffith rape Casca so all this would happen? Either that or that's some incredible luck?
Berserk will never end, studio gaga and mori will give up before they reaches 400 chapters.
Current Berserk isn’t great but it’s not as bad as I was expecting. I really dislike Holyland and his other series with the black girl so I was expecting Mori to fuck everything up.
>>286234152Berserk has at best 7 volumes left at the pace Gaga are going
>>286234205Mori says that he's not gonna flesh out the rest of the storyline and is just going to stick with what Miura left behind. Makes me worry that the rest of it is just gonna feel flat.
>>286234268>7 volumes>at this pacei'm sure my grankids will enjoy it
>>286233838Isma is best girl err but there's also sheirke but she's a nerd
>>286231503Gambino sold Guts' ass out (literally) before he lost his leg
>>286226447It's such divine suffering. I think back to that south park bit with chef's analogy with god and the crying baby lolipop.
>>286234354I think they ditched that idea already. First chapters had lots of big skipping but it's been meandering along since, if anything. And there is zero chance Rakshas summoning the qliphoth and other shit that doesn't make sense came from Miura.
>>286225128your guess is as good as ours, anon.time will tell. but in the end, whatever good or bad it becomes will be nothing but a glorified fanfic.
>>286234726Volume 44 at the end of the year bro. Young Animal are stockpiling chapters. One of the team said they'd already delivered 4 chapters to them since the last one.
>>286234354I respect that desu. Let's face it, if Miura were still alive Volume 42 would be the Elfhelm destruction and Volume 43 would be set entirely on the Seahorse.
>>286235631I think it goes more like this >Miura says in conversation with Mori that Rakshas returns from the dead and tries to destroy the Kushan leaders, then dies by Silat while trying to kill Guts>This happens because [X] but we don't find that out til later>Mori has no subtlety for this kind of story telling so it'll be a lore dump in a single page at some point, probably from SlanThe real test on whether the rules have changed with death in Fantasia is if someone like Wyald shows up again
>>286233880Well, at least she did get a fair outcome
>>286236208She had it coming
>>286227279He was a white man with Faustian spirit.
>>286233880Griffith threatened to stab Casca when she got between his ability to stop Guts from leaving, imagine how he would react once Judeau and/or Corkus let it slip that she had a whole ass conversation with Guts beforehand and didn't let Griffith know he was leaving
Has anyone actually counted how many times Casca almost/actually gets sexually assaulted throughout all of Berserk. I count at least 5 times. How much is too much?
>Miura's 2020 interview for that big Berserk event hinted that it was going to switch protagonists to the Skull Knight for a whileWhat happened to that?
>>286243928We're probably approaching that arc, given that Guts is currently being a depressed sad sack.
>>286227279so the story could parallel guts' relationship with his own bastard son
>>286232184its literally been going on haitus after every single chapter release.the more i think about it the more gross it seems.the original creator is dead but his creation makes lots of money so it's trundled out and merch is made and sold pretty frequently.if miura had a kid who could inheret all the money that'd be different but as it stands, who can claim ownership of the money made on something the original creator of is dead ?berserk should've just ended with a fuckin page of notes on where the story was going and what would've happened since the new literal who apparently got entrusted with this info by miura before his heart exploded.
