To many diferent ways to read the same chapter

Too many ambiguity

This open up so many plotholes and changing of direction or even absolutly new perspectives that we can't actualy tell what happened exactly
>>
>>288671807
guts is

>not human?

>human but incomplete?

>astral being

>human and now complete

wich is it??

did he gained new powers?
did he gained new knowledge?
why didn't skull knight and flora told all that before?
was that flora or his mother?


this chapter was bullshit man, idk
>>
>>288671844
>>not human?
>>human but incomplete?
>>astral being
>>human and now complete
The same as he's always been. He's someone that's always existed in the interstace due to being born from a corpse. Skull Knight and Flora explain all this to him. Are you a speedreader?
>>
>>288671844
>why didn't skull knight and flora told all that before?
Golden Age and Millennium Falcon.
>>
>>288671915
then why did they showed somehting that we already knew? without nothing new? as something that guts didn't know?
>>
>>288671930
Because he's introspecting on his life, speedreader. Things that he's always known about himself but is only just now confronting.

I swear to Christ you guys would benefit from actually reading the fucking thing.

Guts was able to see and talk to Chich despite never being exposed to feries before. I think this is evidence of him always having one foot in the door of the astral plane. (in the first chapter, the reason why everyone can see the puck is because of the snake apostol living near and affecting their lives)

>>288672045
>And if nothing changed aside from his mindset how does this bring him closer to defeating Griffith if he couldn't even scratch him?
He couldn't hit Griffith at Elfhelm because he was trying harder to suppress the Berserker Armour, protecting Casca, than he was trying to kill Griffith. He CAN harm him, as he cuts his hair.
>>
>>288672045
>The fact that he is special because born out of a corpse?
Read the manga.
>>
>You were birthed from a womb of the dead
>Existing between life and death, fighting against causality
I suppose it just backs up what Skull Knight and Flora said to him and have been encouraging him to do.
>>
>ahh yes guts is actually a special in-between astral plains baby and not just with an indomitable will to survive you see
How can these people misunderstand why guts has been such an interesting character. They're turning this character that has existed as long as homer Simpson into a generic bottom of the barrel shonen cliche. What a fucking shame
>>
So many bullshiters pretending this chapter had any answer at all

but all their interpretations are absolute dog shit

this chapter looks like filler and non sense
>>
>>288672081
I mean kind of. In the manga it's said that you have to have an open mind to spirituality and "the other side" to see them. I suppose that kind of tracks for the Snake Barron stuff. I suppose Guts being able to see Chitch would just be more evidence, as told by Skull Knight and Flora, that he's always existed between the realms. The magic system in Berserk is basically "if I believe it exists, I can tap in to it" which is an interesting take on magic. I think it's more that if your world view is such that you can't comprehend magical beings, then you simply can't comprehend them.

exactly

the whole point for that isolation chamber was for guts to see himself and be alone by himself, not for flora to guide him...

also for her to come and say something that was already said before, for what?

what about the actual trauma that was built around guts best effort not reaching grifith in the slightest? what about casca? what about what he gonna do next?

all of it is paradoxical like you said

I think we would get something along the lines of master yourself = master the enemy shit, like seing the OD and learning to reach it using his own or controling his emotions and therefore berserk armor as well

this "muh you're special, just go out there and win" is so much bullshit

There are still many mysteries surrounding Schierke, but she’s more astral in nature, Isma is literally half-astral.
Compared to that, Guts’ astral affinity is nothing to write home about. These speedreaders are treating his Level 1 passive skill as if it were a gamebreaker.

Reactions to this chapter have only confirmed to me that most people don't remember much of what happened already in the manga and are bitching that things we already know are being reaffirmed for context. Like were people really surprised to find that Guts has more agency than most when Skull Knight and Slan observed this ages ago?
Also a weird purity obsession when a main throughline is that Guts' humanity is tainted by his monstrous worse nature that he contends with as intrusive thoughts and self-destructive tendencies. You know, the same evil id that Schierke has to tard wrangle with astral projection every time Guts fights, because Guts has been drawing on it conducting blatantly supernatural feats of violence.
It doesn't matter if Guts has some quantum voodoo loophole from the macabre circumstances of his birth, or if an apostle is his daddy, or being soaked in demon blood has tainted him, because Guts having an inhuman element just accentuates the desperation of his struggle to maintain himself and by extension protect what he cares about.
Guts could walk out of the stupa with features of a beast and he'd still be Guts as long as he hasn't followed the examples of Zodd or Skull Knight, who each discarded their humanity to become something that can fight forever. Guts affirming his humanity would align with a transformation into something encompassing his inner strength but is still ultimately mortal.
>>
>>288671807
Not really.It has been heavily foreshadowed. Guts was mentioned as having "the devils own luck". In early chapters his scabbard is akin to a pointy devil tail. His odd is strange as mentioned by Shirke. The dying females tied to the tree likely belonged to a cult. It is mentioned that places and people related to death are closer to the erstice. Guts is not chosen in the full sense - he simply got lucky / unlucky depending on pov to be born in a way that allows him to have more freedom from causality than most. It has to do with his parents or rather the lack there of - there wasn't anyone in his life that imprinted their views on him. I have often wondered about them and who they were but even more importantly is something a lot of people miss - we know even less about how Griffith was born. Even less about his childhood. We know he dreamed of the castle and ran on the cobbled town streets but we know nothing of who raised him and how... was he a street urchin? Did he have a overbearing mother or father? Was he raised in terrible conditions or were the family well of? Was there one parent missing? It was clear from the start that the early life biographical part is being kept vague deliberately and thus likely left for the ending.

Not to mention that Guts trying to maintain his humanity despite all the shit he's gone through and any negatives/power-ups he gets from it clearly juxtaposes Griffith who wants to be beyond humanity at any cost necessary.
As long as Guts himself tries to maintain his humanity it does not matter if he's the "chosen one" or whatever other nonsense people interpret this as, as if we didn't know he it hasn't long been established that he can defy causality since the manga's start.
The important thing is that Guts always just wanted to be a normal human with a regular life, but was never given that opportunity, whereas Griffith always wants more.
>>
What a time for Evil_Genius Scans to be fucking dead.
>>
>>288673972
All of this I feel is also true but there is an additional element - Guts is becoming a leader. Elfhelm, now the Kushan empire - he realises he cannot fight Griffith as a lone wanderer [he already got him one on one when he left the band of the hawk]. He needs to best him at what Griffith is good at - leading men, being a tactician, planning ahead etc.

Didn't Skull Knight say back in Golden Age that it was because of the Brand that Guts and Casca were stuck in the Interstice? It feels like a bit of a retcon, honestly.

Does the struggler title not mean a chosen one ? There is a hawk of light and a hawk of darkness. There are beings who know what is to come and give prophecy to him because he has a special role. Guts is special and has been acknowledged to be so several times over while Miura was writing Berserk [RIP] - think back to early days in the band of the hawk about how "he has the devils own luck". How Zodd is so surprised that in ages a human has finally managed to wound him. Guts birth was always special and this is mentioned before. I honestly feel that you could hate on the new team for the art not being the same, the wording etc. But hating them because it seems like they contradict something which they don't is wrong. Guts is not in the interstice since childhood but he is closer to it. Which makes him perfect for fighting these creatures.
>>
>>288674210
>and he wasn't born outside the constraints of the world
But he quite literally was and this was explicitly stated in the manga under Miura's reign

At the end of the day, Berserk is just Devilman. Guts himself is just Devilman, and Griffith is Satan.

He wasn't closer to the interstice and it wouldn't mean anything if he was. Other than he would've died as a child because he would've run into evil spirits on battlefields constantly.

Is being in the interstice Mori's idea of like a half-vampire? Is he writing Guts to be fucking Blade?

Anyway, Guts definitely had/has a predetermined role to play. He was an important piece in Griffith's rise and fall, and SK was able to notice that he's someone who fits that role for Griffith - presumably because things were somewhat similar back when he was a mortal struggler himself.

This doesn't give Guts any special power, more so than anyone. Casca and Judeau and fucking Corcus had predetermined roles as well. Guts simply has that struggler mentality, which is what SK means when he mentions the circumstances of his birth. He's literally been struggling since his first breath.

No. Miura's Berserk was about an underdog regular human struggling against impossibleo odds. Mori's Berserk is about invincible chosen one destined to vanguish all evil with the power of his superhuman abilities.
Mori abandoned everything that made Berserk good and relatable, and I wonder how it is that he came to be so tonedeaf. Maybe he really was just so jealous of Miura that he took this opportunity to destroy his legacy.

>>288675592
You can't read.

Mori is using ideas for berserk that were discussed privately with him by Miura, and telling the story that Miura wanted to tell but no longer can. What i'm saying is that you're mad at Miura.
>>
>>288675592
>Mori's Berserk is about invincible chosen one destined to vanguish all evil with the power of his superhuman abilities.
Mental illness. Nothing has changed. Or implies any of the bullshit you just typed. You are making shit up to rationalize your dislike of the continuation. Mori literally said Miura "agonized" over how to deliver this chapter on more than one occasion. This is not "Mori's Berserk", retard. This is Miura's story adapted by Mori to the best of his ability - to which your mileage may vary. This is literally all Miura's idea. Deal with it.
>>
>>288674365
>Does the struggler title not mean a chosen one?
Why would it? It's only ever used by Skull Knight and no one else acknowledges this concept
>There is a hawk of light and a hawk of darkness
Both are applied to Griffitrh as there are two sides to him, anyone who read the manga would know this
>There are beings who know what is to come and give prophecy to him because he has a special role
He had a very special role triggering Griffith into becoming Femto. Thus he's fate was predetermined and he did not exist outside of it before being branded. This chapter tries to retcon it
>How Zodd is so surprised that in ages a human has finally managed to wound him
Does not imply he's not a human
>Guts birth was always special and this is mentioned before
Special as in making him a nonhuman/god slaying machine? No it was nothing more than another artistic device to show how Guts went through the extreme struggle from the very birth and thus became one of the strongest humans
>But hating them because it seems like they contradict something which they don't is wrong
They contradicted shitload of things from the very first chapter. Story defining "things", not just lore nitpicking. You ignoring them doesn't make them go away
>Guts is not in the interstice since childhood but he is closer to it.
Then how was this never brought up in the story so far and what does this change, if it's treated like a story defining reveal?
>Which makes him perfect for fighting these creatures.
I though his strengths makes him perfect for fighting. What else am I missing?

>>288675677
You are illiterate. Berserk is about HUMANITY'S struggle against demons, not about some weird half-demon superhuman's destined victory against demons.
>b-but muh hawk of light and hawk of darkness
I have no doubt that the prophecy was ghost written by Mori and that Mori was twisting Miura into a more hacky direction even then.
Guts is 100% human as per his own words. Anything that contradicts this is a retcon and bad writing. Continuation cannot justify any changes to Guts' status as human.
>b-but muh beast of darkness
Is a visual metaphor, not a real entity.
>b-but
Shut the fuck up. There is nothing you can say to change my mind. I doubt Miura even knew Mori that well and that he's just exploiting the situation to make tons of money by churning out new Berserk material with his name on it. None of this has gone down how I think it should've.

The two hawks are not Griffith but Guts and Griffith. It is obvious by how one is full of desire and wants to achieve things ruthlessly but is regarded as a hero and beloved while the other is someone who wants a regular existence but is forced to fight relentlessly for it and is perceived as evil. The Holy see gets a lot wrong. They get the idea of two hawks correct but will not recognize who the good one among them is. In the world of Berserk it is clear that the people are oblivious to major events - the supernatural and aristocratic machinations of the nobility are beyond their understanding. People are woefully unequal in Berserk to the point of not being able to be friends as recognized by the speech Griffith gives to Charlotte. That they don't recognize the fine line between someone good and someone evil is evident like in the Tower of Convictoin arc. It's a comment on how people are too stupid to realize who their saviour is (which happens a lot to Guts - they almost always fear him when he first shows up to save them.) The struggler concept is only ever used by someone who would recognize it for what it is unlike the plebs who don't understand shit in that world - an element of predestination etc. Which is why Zodd also recognizes it when he says: "I have seen this double edged ploy before(likely referring to him and skullknight)." I love Miura but you need to understand that Guts in that world is anything but a stand in for the everyman - he is the one that overcomes the limits that they the everymen have. He starts of slightly underpowered compared to Griffith and by the time he wants to leave he is more powerful than him in combat. He was always an unconventional and exceedingly rare type of human - unnaturally strong with a weird fate from the onset, strangely lucky, a relentless fighter who never yields an inch even in the face of death. Not an average Joe who is just tough for sure...

The counterargument is "Miura discussed this chapter multiple times with Mori and thus Mori is more qualified than you on the veracity of the content." However, you are a schizophrenic and refuse this unequivocal truth. Therefore you are only worthy of ridicule and not being taken seriously. It truly is that simple.

Yet everything he did so far contradicts/retcons the previous events, despite also being claimed to be based on Miura's mythical notes/ideas no one ever heard aside from him. Why would I take him at his word that this chapter is any different? Especially if I can see there's a major retcon again. Should I just completely disregard any logic and enjoy the current thing?

No. You can do whatever you please. This continuation is imperfect and there have been contradictions from the start that have been rightfully called out.

What I am saying is this chapter is one that Mori and Miura discussed and its events are the closest we will ever have to Miura's vision: regardless of your complaints. Based on misinterpretations and shitty translations.

Guts by his birth is invalid to be chosen as or for anything by destiny or fate and this includes the idea of evil. He can be affected by the tide but he is a ripple that is uniquely capable of moving against the flow. Everything else is his continued effort to survive and fight the fate designed for everyone else. Obviously the only way this works out toward a satisfying ending is Guts, through his journey after leaving Griffith and the Band, gathering forces, coming to meet Griffith as the equal he never saw himself worthy of being. It's important to note that Guts still doesn't see himself as an equal to Griffith, and that's likely influenced his encounter due to astral fuckery and the fact that, as given through the existence of the idea of evil, the astral plane is influenced by the thoughts and beliefs of people. The longer Guts struggle to survive succeeds, the more counter influence to the flow of causality he represents, and that specifically is the value and significance of the struggler title. Naturally, because this is a story, that leads to his continued influence spreading and eventually up ending the whole plan of the idea of evil, not because of being chosen, but by being an anomaly that refuses to give up and die.

Imagine being this retarded and think Miura just told the FULL story for his friend over dinner day in and out, and somehow Mori remembered all of this in extreme detail. Also not to mention that Miura changes things on the go (such as the god chapter)

The most miura told mori is some plot points.
No dialogue nothing else
that's why the chapters feel different. He's making those up to reach the major plot points told by miura

Adding to this, I don't believe Guts own belief as an equal to Griffith would be the key to allowing him to fight Griffith toe to toe, but if the whole world including Guts did, I think it would influence the match-up considerably

Storytime. Berserk's been part of my life for literally 20 years. A friend of mine recommended it to me in 2006 when I was in the 7th grade, it was among the first manga I read fan scanlations of. I was such a sperg that saved the images as I read them, and then renamed the files so that I could read Golden Age and Black Swordsman in chronological order rather than the order of publication. It took a very long time, since this was a matter of renaming thousands of jpgs, Black Swordsman alone is like 600 pages and Golden Age is 4x that.
It took days of doing, but finally I had it all just like I wanted it. Now this was back when I didn't have my own laptop, so I saved it all on the family computer, and I could only use it so much on any given day. I left the stuff in its own file, turned off the computer for the day, knowing I'd come back to it and then enjoy myself the next day. But that next day, when I came back, someone had deleted my Berserk folder and even cleared the trash bin. I was so pissed off. I asked my sister if she'd been using the computer, she said she hadn't. I asked my mother, she said she doesn't even know how to use it. I went to talk to dad, and I found him in the living room, drinking a beer with this guy I didn't know. I asked dad if he'd used the computer, and he said no, but his friend had asked to borrow it for something, and he'd allowed it. And that person who he'd borrowed our family PC to, the one who had deleted my Berserk folder forever?
That person was Kouji Mori.

Reminder
-・Mori says it's often difficult to know what Miura meant, and adds that he regularly forgets important things until after an episode is completed.
・Mori admits that with only what he knows, parts of the story still don't make sense. So the people involved in the project speculate together to "strengthen" the "original work".
-・From here to the end of Berserk, "there are still many difficult questions to solve, and there are things on which Miura had not yet made up his mind."

-・He does not have a complete picture of the rest of Berserk. His memories of conversations with Miura weren't definitive, because Miura's plans often changed in the process of drawing each episode.

At best the rest of Berserk will be, from Mori's perspective, similar to the experience of being spoiled about the a bit of the ending of an anime you are midway through watching, while trying to figure out how those spoilers come to pass. If Miura was still here, and if he completed Berserk, it would obviously be very different to what we are getting now. I still can't say I hate Mori for trying to finish his friends work even if it would never match up to what would've happened if Miura never died.

This was heavily self evident in the opening chapters of the continuation, in which they were glorified powerpoint presentations with minimal dialogue. But he has since then become notably more comfortable - but still erring closer on the side of caution. My largest concern remains that character growth for the JRPG crew may stagnate if Miura did not outline exactly what trajectory he mapped out for them.

But he has been seemingly horrified of writing Guts. Like, holy shit. Continuation's been going on for about 3 years and we barely have 7-8 sentences from the MC. Even in this chapter when I was expecting a deep introspection: Flora who came out of fucking no where did most the talking.

Most purists want the spark notes edition, believe it or not. Well too bad, fuck them lol. They can stop reading since "Berserk died with Miura. Fuck this fanfiction" - but they won't, so they can seethe until the sun burns out.

Never expected Miura to live long enough to finish it and was ranting to a friend months before the news that I would rather he just write the full story or stash notes somewhere so that when he dies, Studio Gaga can handle illustrations. Which is basically what we have now, except the notes are second hand accounts. Not ideal, but better than spark notes.

this idea that Guts was in the Interstice from birth is invalidated by the fact he had no interactions with ethereal creatures before being branded. Because yes, before Fantasia that was the main effect of being in the Interstice between the worlds: interacting with ethereal beings despite the worlds being split up. The most common symptom was that Guts was harassed by evil spirits every night. Now that was also due to the branded, it drew them in, but even without being branded he should have been able to at least see them, and he never did. There is simply no way he could have possibly existed within the Interstice before we were shown and told that he now was there in volume 13.

Do note while we’re at it that the Skull Knight knew about Guts’ birth and told him about it in volume 9, not to say that he was special because of it or that he existed within the Interstice, but to reinforce the point that Guts had escaped death his entire life and thus would be best suited to escape it once more during the Eclipse. That is, again, the whole point of why he calls him “struggler”. If Guts had been in the Interstice and that had made him special, then the Skull Knight would have told him that instead. What episode 384 does is essentially a retcon, and a nonsensical one at that.

elves can actually be seen by normal humans if they're open-minded enough. Like Colette, Theresia, Vargas, Jill, Rickert, Judo, etc. Being in the Interstice has never been a requirement for that.

The thing a lot of brown people upset at this get wrong is that guts has been special from the first chapter.
That's why he is the protagonist and not some random farmer.
But since brown people have issues with nuance they conflate it with "being the chosen one" from their garbage low IQ shonen manga like one piece.

I had no idea so many people were up in arms over new Berserk.
I think it’s been fine.

But like, of course something was going to have to happen to change the status quo in order for Guts’ story to progress. Every time he’s run into Griffith, he’s not been able to even touch him except for a hair on his head.

This is just moving us to the final stage of the story where Guts can actually progress to a stage to challenge a member of the God Hand. And it’s appropriate, I feel.
Guts has done everything as a character except giving into his grief, sadness and loss. There’s been flashes of it, but he always masks it with his intense anger. Now, when he’s finally consumed by despair he is able to let go and finally evolve.
The story pretty clearly illustrates that his anger can only make him so powerful. Him actually being sad for once rounds him out into a real person, and he’s able to find something new about himself.

This shit isn’t rocket science. It’s a manga where a dude with a big sword cuts things in half.
>>
>>288676769
I think it's more an understanding of what Griffith was and what he is now. I think Rickert recognised that Griffith post reincarnation is different (like he alludes to with the new Hawks banner) and that he isn't tied to the past due to mourning the Hawks. Rickert was then able to make contact when he struck Griffith. I think Guts had some understanding of this as Dragonslayer was able to cut a hair off him at Elfhelm, but it's clearly not definitive

guts has obviously stepped in a realm beyond humanity

>Most purists want the spark notes edition,
This is actually the main defence point Moricucks use to justify how lackluster and barebones the fanfiction is

I don't recall the exact wording but he was something "outside fate" even.

>>288678260
Skull Knight is a fucking soul trapped inside the armor and was brought back from death by some forbidden ritual. How is this even comparable to Guts?
>>
the issue is mori is not a talented writer

Guts actually has been "outside fate" after being branded. Not after being born
>>
>>288678315
I agree that they are different entities. But the concept of something like a demigod or ascended being isn't absent in Berserk.
>>288678339
Sure. I didn't remember when, I just remembered that bit as he's rushing toward Mozgus.
>>
>>288678315
The point of the story is obviously that this is where Guts is heading if his "struggle" continues.
He's not going to contend with demigods as just a mere mortal.
Of course, he might elect to live out his days as a human instead of tapping into his "supernatural" potential for the purposes of revenge by the end.
That remains to be seen

I will not take anything Mori spouts out of his mouth seriously anymore. There is no way Miura pondered this for twenty years. Not a chance. Once again, it feels like a disgusting safety net: "See, that’s what Miura wanted. If you don’t like it, that’s on him."
>>
>>288678391
Miura left way too many clues for this now miura build to this moment probably would have been way different but I do believe they had notes for this one I don't believe Mori could have tied all this up by himself

Five years ago I was dating this girl who was a real stickler about punctuality. You show up late, she's already gone. You show up on time, she'll show you a good time. Maybe she was on the spectrum, I don't know.
Anyway we'd set a date, and we were going to go riding our bikes, she was athletic, I was athletic, it was a nice day. So I go to get my bike, but it's not here. It had been stolen. I call her to let her know, and she tells me it's fine, she'll just go with someone else.
Then she hung up on me. The next day I saw pictures on her instagram of the date she'd gone on. What surprised me was that she was riding her bike and someone else was riding mine with her.
The man who stole my bike and went on my date? That man was Kouji Mori.

Isn't this a bit common as a Japanese marketing tactic?
>Whoa, <big plot moment> has been prepared for <large amount of time> :OOO

Mori is the Japanese version of Brian Herbert, son of Dune creator, Frank Herbert, who has been grifting Dune fans for 61 years over the existence or non-existence of his father's Dune notes that he uses as a basis to justify his own Dune novels as canon yet he refuses to publish or share his father's Dune notes to the public. Brian Herbert even refuses to take a photograph of his father's Dune notes.

It's just THAT forum.

Then let me rephrase. While the continuation is a truncated summary overall hitting all major points, it is still a proper manga. You want the wikipedia summary/bulletpoint list found on SK forums preceding the impotent bitching about every new chapter thread.
>>
>>288678751
The entire thing reads like awful fanfiction and the art is a mess

Mori is athletic alright.

Deep and mystical.

I perfectly see Post miura as fanfic but this keyplot point was something i feel was miura related, so im ok. Its fucking genius, Guts will FINALLY have a 1% to fight the god hand now
>>
>>288673601
Berserk has been shit post-Eclipse, but it still had some worthwhile gold among the pile of rubbish. Fujotsu Fagsen was never good from start to finish. Everything shitposters say about it being a soulless piece of shit is true; the author has no vision, no voice and no message he's trying to convey because all he can do is ape battle shounen that came before him.

Berserk went to shit after Ganishka went down and Fantasia began.

LMAO. Disregarding the original the continuation is easily the worst manga ever written

What has changed this chapter about Guts that will help him defeat God Hand?
>>
>>288678981
He went from a weak human struggling against his fate to a chosen hero destined to slay all gods.
>>
I miss Miura so fucking much, /a/
>>
>>288679005
>a chosen hero destined to slay all gods.
Half the thread is convined he was born outside fate. So which is it?
>>
>>288678981
He has no chance; Guts fighting against the God Hand on the material plane without anything astral is fighting a fight he can't win. now atleast has a chance
>>
>>288674210
Actually, I agree with this guy, this reveal is a betrayal of everything Guts is about as a character. I usually don't post in Berserk threads after Miura's passing because I didn't want to bother the anons who were still enjoying the manga, but this development is particularly egregious and I don't think Mori and Studio Gaga are up to the task.

I just wish they had branded post Miura chapters as another kind of release, the publisher kept everything as if nothing happened other than changing the credits, if Oda or Togashi died, I wouldn't want to keep reading OP or HxH either.
>>
>>288674210
This guy idea of how guts can hurt the god hand is far more interesting. I'd rather read this dude fanfic than Mori's at this point
>>
>>288678939
>continuation is easily the worst manga ever written
I do not care to address your hyperbolic criticisms because it's ultimately subjective even if I find some points to have merit, but this line alone is why you can't be fucking taken seriously.

What? Have you even read the manga?

I sure wish fantasia was anywhere as hype as this.

Mori was a failed mangaka, his manga were flops after flops. He was probably working at a sweatshop

Berserk sells millions every year. This is his chance to be a multi millionaire. I guess the silver living is he's still japanese. If he was american he'd be inserting gay shit and politics on top.

Guts is branded and his weapon is coated by the blood of dozens of apostles, he really didn't need to be born as someone "between planes" or whatever, he already became that after the Eclipse. This reveal have no purpose other than make him born as someone special, which defeats the point of his character.
>>
>>288679136
Have you? That wasn’t even the real being - just like a manifestation of her. Every single time Guts has had a chance a Femto, he jobs hard. Most recently, he only cut a single head from his hair - even with berserk armor and all his power ups. So yeah, something had to give - it’s the only way for him to battle femto.

Unless we’re gonna go the route of taking away his powers. That worked so well for the Boys.

>Berserk sells millions every year.
You think Berserk makes mad bank huh? It's being going for 37 years and has only sold 70m, and 15m of those were when Dark Horse republished it. I get what you're trying to say, but Berserk is nowhere near as popular or marketable as you probably think it is. Very little merchandising, and selling in 37 years what many other mangas sell in 15. It's influential as hell but to say Berserk at this point anything but a passion project isn't based in reality.
