Can anyone please tell me your scan dates, and how long its currently taking to get a decision? Have any early August scan dates got decsions yet? I'm super impatient and the wait is excruciating!
Mine is the lost children arc. To me it is utterly heartbreaking the child "fairy's" guts killing them in the barn and them turning back into children then the next night, them coming after him in spirit form on fire because of the way he killed them, increasing their suffering without realising it. the scene where he is destroying the pods and he has their body's all over him and then the end when he tells the girl to look at him and she see the pure darkness around him. For me (other than the eclipse) it truly shows why he is so fucked up and mentally unstable. And I understand the reason why everyone fears and hates him as they believe he has slaughtered children and the mountain of corpses in the forest that he leaves behind. It really make me feel so terrible for him ( although side note i did find it very funny when he used the child as bait on the tip of his sword) I've read berserk 4 times and I am always excited (maybe not the right word to use) to get to this chapter. I also absolutely love the art in this arc truly amazing
So I was having a bit of a stoner moment last night and had a think. This is like the 3/4 time of me reading berserk and i I've only just noticed that after Griffith is reborn after the conviction ark everything repeats as what happened in the golden age ark but a demonic version.
So let me explain the band of the hawk are a mercenary group fighting for midland against the tutors going from battle to battle, winning almost flawless. They win for the kingdom beating the tudors. Guts then has a life changing moment while overhearing griffith talking about what a friend is and decides to leave. He calmly beats Griffith and leaves him broken.
Now after rebirth Griffith leaves guts broken from the eclipse and what he did to casca. You could argue that what guts then goes through up until the most recent chapter, and being "revived" in that tree/cave (can't remember what is was as only read that one once) and becoming "calm" that is like what Griffith when through with the year of tourcher from the king and the sacrifice of the hawks being reborn as femto.
After griffith is reborn agin in the conviction ark as a God is human form, he gathers his generals of apostles. Who to me bear a striking resemblance to the original gang. You have zod who is like guts, the lancer is corkcus, the archer who is like Judeau, the giant is pipping, and the masked shadow guy is caska. They are not obvious exactly like them but its just a thought. They then have their arm of demons with them and they are smashing the kusions until they win and create falconia
So I believe that after guts has now had is awakening he will once again go against griffith but calm like the time he left the hawks. However I do not believe he will kill griffith and neither will casca. It is reference that because of the amount of apostle blood has seeped into the dragon slayer sword it has the ability to wound and kill astral beings. So I think with his final stroke, like when he left, won't kill griffith but will kill femto the demon in him and guts and casca will leave him broken together, or possibly revert him back to the moon child. Sorry if this has already been brought up of if its just a pure stoner moment and makes no sense
