Simply amazing. This chapter shall now be forever remembered as the "Once-in-a-Lifetime Teamup of Guts and Zodd."

Simply amazing. This chapter shall now be forever remembered as the "Once-in-a-Lifetime Teamup of Guts and Zodd."
That two-page spread of the duo plowing through Ganishka is too godly for words.
The dialoge went well with this chapter, I liked the Guts/Zodd conversation.
Zodd admires Guts, there wouldn't be too many people on that type of list, another would be Skull Knight, and that would probably be it.
Sonia and 'can't remember the little shits name' are heading off to the Pope, so they will soon get an even bigger army, and also the Pope's favour.
i love this manga in ways that a human should not have feelings for pieces of machine processed paper with ink on them...
but i do, although i know i'm probably going to hell for it...
The "little shit's name" is Mule (honestly, what parent names their son that?).Quote:

A great chapter.
Guts did what he does best, make himself enemy of more apostle to they all flock to him and make it easy for him ;)
I wonder how Zodd and Guts are going to be in the next chapter, are they just going to there seperate ways? Are they going to start a fight with each other?
I liked how Ganishka was hurt, it seems the only spot that would do that is between the eyes.
I dont think Zodd and Guts has any fight left in them otherwise it would be a new round for them.
Chapter 278 is out, with a raw and translation is available at skullknight.
Chapter talk
I liked that chapter Guts and Zodd having there argument, then falls over as soon as it's done. Then him seeing Griffiths, it's like he's watching over him for now, amazed as he was before. Guts just closed his eyes again.
Finally setting sail!!! How long has it been? a couple of years.
Oh man... Azan is back; his presence alone makes this chapter better than all the other dockyard shenanigans we've had up till this point.
And, what with all this trouble they've been going through, to reach the ship must be a milestone for the Gang of Guts.
279 Preview.
Great Invasion.

Chapter 279 is now released. Torrent.
Also on mangatraders.
Now there is an undisclosed break, which I think is going to be a few months, probably to further the plot.
Oh man really? Ackk, ah well, I can finally catch up in reading the rest of the chapters I missed. >_> man so much on mangatraders ... so many mangas, so little time.Quote:

Argh.. nothing happened. *Smashes keyboard further*
I love how arrows inevitably end up in people's eyes and mouths in this series.
Suddenly I'm thinking of Braveheart. Getting shot in the ass.
Hiya, heard anything about when they'll continue with it?Quote:

fusing with our dear gutts? filthing his badassness with magical powers?
what's the deal about that?
One of gutts main point in the entire story was that Gutts was diffrent from the rest of them, he didn't use magical items to fight (armor aside, which was more of a handicap than a weapon, at least by gutts eyes), he used his revenge and willpower to push further.
and now, he's gone all magical and stuff with the witch.
a fuckin' let down, if you ask me. also, it's starting to look like a 'guess the weak point' game, 'simply cut here, here and here' thing.
at least the cavaliar act of Zodd saved the day, we need to see more team ups, give me the kushan ninja slashing and the kushan yogi wizard doing some delhi kicks against the apostle army..
also, we had about 5 panels of Caska's face and still nothing... I've thought that she could at least say something, or act as if she remembers zodd..
I really want to see her coming back to her senses. the fact that she knows everything about the past makes her a counter balance charecter to gutts, which he despertsly needs now.
Alright, before you demean Schrieke any further, that whole "fusion" event was just a FREAK ACCIDENT; it wasn't even permanent. There was only one spell cast during that time. On top of all that, against the Kundalini, a being comprised completely of magic, there was barely any chance for Guts to take it down without magical aid of his own (even with the Berserk armor activated, he still couldn't jump on water).Quote:

Magnifico is Farernze's fiancee, right?
I have no quarrl with him, a decent guy. He ust got stuck in a situation well over his head, but he seems to be taking it fine, he knows that he should take care of the rear, and make sure not to make any troubles... I think he knows that everything that's going on is far out of his fighting skill leauge, but he stays thier for farenze, which makes him kinda cool.
yes, I know that Gutts couldn't have taken care of the water element by himself, but i still hate this fusion thing... one of my favorite parts in berserk (later arcs) is when the witch gives everybody a magic item, and only gutts refuses the axe, making point that he doesn't belong to the witch and won't take no shit from her. Gutts fights the war his own way, it's perssonal for him.
besides, I've always hated the witch girl, she's too smart for her age, and far too annoying, as most young child genius charecters are. the only worthwhile times we saw her was when she was acting human and displayed some depth of charecter other than pointing her stick at people and bossing them around.
in a completly diffrent matter, is it wrong that everytime i read a few berserk chapters i get the need to re-read everything from scratch?
I need more hard copy books of Berserk...
Magnifico is Farnese's brother - the light curly haired guy who keeps screaming "hiii" when bad guys appear. Her fiancee is the dark haird one ... Roderick? I think.
What is Griffith trying to do with his new Band of the Hawk? He's now one of the most powerful beings in existance. Does he really need some chump apostles that barely compare to him to do his dirty work? I guess he must REALLY want to fulfill that dream of owning his own country.
It has becoming quite obvious what his goal is. It is to be king, in control of a country (or the world even). He needs people who follow him because without people, there can be no country. So in way, he still needs to look like some kind of a hero, which he apparently does in some parts of the land.
And the apostles are far from weak as we have seen. Gutts needs something as target practice until he can take on Griffith, that's the apostles duty :P
I agree with Shrieke being annoying, I really don't like her at all. But she is important and she helps out a lot (kicking and screaming all the way).
And even though this is Gutts fight, he needs to cut himself some slack, because keeping it up will get him killed. He needs to get some major ass healing on Pucks home-island, otherwise he won't be strong enough to face Griffith. And he needs more rage, which he will get once Caska gets her memories back and becomes emotionally damaged for life.
Edit: Griffith might be strong, but his worldy body is not nearly as strong as his astral body.
Yup. Either his own country or conquering the world. Whatever. :P
Actually. If you look at it from the perspective of the common civilians, Griffith is a hero to everyone. The White Hawk, prophecised to be the Next King of Midland or something. He's a hero to everyone, their savior from the evil Kushan Empire.
From the perspective of the civilians, you can probably say that Gutts is actually a bad guy. Misunderstood badguy. Hance, he is the Black Hawk.
Yup, everyone who knows of Gutts see him as a renegade soldier of the former Hawks Army. And for those who doesn't know him, well, as he is not really hiding the fact that he is trying to stop the five gods, he is making himself the enemy of a lot of people. Including the kushan army since he see everyone around him as obstacles worthy of nothing but his blade.
Everything Griffiths does is for his dream to have his own country. The reason he's going about it the way he is, is that he needs people to follow him and trust him. So, after helping all these people through war methods people begin to follow him. He even has the trust of the pope. He already has Charlotte so once the first part is complete and he has a castle and land, he'll then marry Charlotte which will make it complete. Guts is the thorn in the side of this. If it wasn't for his goal why become a God Hand, and come back to the real world?
Actually not many people would know Guts as a former Hawks soldier only a few, Owen being one of them. Most people just know him as the Black Swordsmen, the one in the phophercies.
It's got to be killing Gutts to see Griffith for a second then being drug away to elf island.
I'm so addicted to the Berserk manga. I buy it the same day the translations from Dark Horse are available. Despite the fact that I've already read scanlations, I already have the next volume on pre-order.
I just read the prototype for the first time last night. Wow, that was almost as bad as everyone said. How sad. It's a good thing that the story has changed so much.
What I am dying to see though is how surprised and baffled Griffith will be once he sees the new improved Gutts :D I hope that when those chaps come out, there will be some flashbacks of Griffith telling Charlotte what he believes a true friend is and how he actually used to see Gutts as his only rival and obstacle.
Hard to say, but I don't think that Griffith's the type to get "surprised and baffled," moreso now than before, when he was just a mortal.Quote:

At the moment I really want to see Guts getting some healing time, he's been injured for quite some time now, even before Vritannis with the ethereal wound Slan gave to him back in the troll cave. He should be all healed up at Elfheim, with all the fairy's dust shit, or some good healers or something there.
The whole point to Griffiths meeting Guts on the snow field where the swords were, was to see if he had the same affect on him that made him forget his dream some what.
Griffith won't be moved very much by Gutts' new power or anything like that. Griffith sees Gutts as his property, as a tool. He struggled to "sacrifice"/brand Gutts during the Eclipse, because part of him saw Gutts as a friend, representing that other people are important to him. But in the end his ambition and greed for achieving his dream won out, and the rest is a bloody history.
I like how Gutts has been assembling a team of supporters. The one thing I do not like, as mentioned a few chapters back, is how much space they all take up in the manga. When it was just Gutts and Puck, a panel or two every page with Puck's silly comments was fine, it even served as comic relief.
Now we have Isi, Schiernek( sp?), her fairy, Serpico, Crusader Girl (always forget her name) and retarded Caska, not to mention two recent Noble tag-a-longs who I trust won't be around much longer. And as much as I love the man, I question how much time and physical space Miura is giving to these secondary characters.
The worst part is that I like almost all of Gutts' new crew. The two nobles suck though, and I'm convinced they're just there for some plot scheme. Isi cracks me up, and a real and genuine "kid" (Schiernke is too mature, Caska doesn't count) is a really nice element to bring to the group. Caska I tolerate since I know she's going to do something awesome eventually and because she's the third leg of the plot tripod (Gutts' revenge, Griffith's dream, Caska's love). Serpico is just awesome. I love the "beady little eyes" characters. Plus he's funny, a serious asset in battle, and keeps you on your toes since you know he's still looking for a chance to betray Gutts. The Witch/Crusader girl can get on my nerves at times, but she's regaining her fighting ability and I liked her backstory. She also serves as the envoy from the rich class into Gutts' struggle, which is exactly why I think there's no room for the other two noble guys...
Schiernke. When she got introduced and it became apparent that she was joining the group, my immediate reaction was, "Not another character!" Despite this, I really have grown to like her. She's the female most in touch with her emotions, despite being just a kid, and her attraction to Gutts is a pretty awesome plot element, bordering on the taboo. She's also let Miura draw some of the most beautiful pages in the entire manga with her magic. Her "sheltered rural" reactions to the cities and people there is also new for the manga, and I like that kind of social commentary.
And I personally think the "tactics" that have accompanied Schiernke's entry into the group have been a good thing. Gutts is still only one man, and one fixed in a certain kind of fighting style. It would be impossible (and repetitive) for him to get to Griffith with just that approach. Schiernke's knowledge and help have been crucial, especially for him to keep control of himself with the Berserker Armor on. Without her Gutts would probably have cut down all of his comrades (the possible exception being Caska), and where would we be now? Gutts roaming aimlessly while Griffith takes more control of the world.
The magic, aside from offering some beautiful pages, has also provided a new counterbalance to the "evil magic" of the Behelit, the Godhands and the Eclipse. It is quite possible that this is the entry of the foil for "the Idea of God" in the manga's plot. I don't think it's going to get to the Holy/Meteor level of importance, but it'll be there.
I, btw, think that Miura is going somewhere with this "forming of the groups" thing. The kind of friendships and bonds between them are growing stronger, and they will be a factor in the final battle (assuming they make it that far...). One of the themes of Berserk is "that which is given freely and that which is taken forcibly", Gutts' friendship with Griffith, Griffith's abuse of this friendship, Gutts' group freely consenting to follow him and Griffith's graceful coercion, allies coming to him out of necessity. There's a very serious contrast between Griffith's Band and Gutts'. And in the end, as Gutts himself is living proof of, that which is given freely will be greater than whatever Griffith can coerce and manipulate.
Gutts can't make it on his own, he just can't. He failed at the Eclipse, he'd fail if he was all alone at the final battle now. His counting on his new friends will be the thing that saves him, as it already has in recent volumes. (and does this mean that Serpico and Isidoro will die? .... only Miura knows...)
well, think that was about all of my Berserk posting for a little while. I know I repeated some things from earlier posts, but this break time has let me form fuller thoughts on the whole thing. Damn I love this manga!
^ Alas, if you truly have the love for the manga that your lengthy post implies you do, then you'd remember that the Guts' Team now includes AZAN through sheer coincidence :D
It's somewhat nearly similar to his old band of the hawk, but I think this group is better. More unique.
It's like Muira's finally going deeper into the group and not only Gutts anymore.
I think this Story is kind of unique. I mean, how common is it to make a story about something, building it up from scratch and making it really emotional, then just drop it all. All the characters, they all just died, only to build something bigger, now that is so awesome.
And the characters, oh how great they were. I mean, I only had a few favourites; Judea, Pippin, Rickert and Caska (couting her since she now is a vege).
I thought they were a good team the old band of the hawks. But not unique enough. Couldn't really tell whether Pippin was truly a great warrior or even the whiney guy whatsisname. All you could tell that they were pretty good fighters, but don't know how evenly matched are they versus the new Gatts team.
The old Band of the Haw rocked. Judeau kicked more ass than an ass-kicking team of ass kickers doing some ass-kicking on overtime.
I think the whiney guy you mean is Corkus.
Yup Thanks.Quote:

The new guys would win due to magic, but Judea would certainly win against Serpico because He'd just throw his knives and down Serpico would go.
Rickert was raised around battle and knows how to fight, he could take Isidoro if you ask me.
I actually have to disagree. I like the old Band of the Hawk. Judeau was the fucking man, simple enough, and Caska, Rickert and Pippin were pretty crunchy also. Corkus I never liked, and it was hard to see what the hell he actually did in battle that was constructive...Quote:

Pippin vs. Azan. Azan is a fucking gag character as far as I'm concerned. He does kick some ass, but Pippin was far and away the better big guy fighter.
Judeau vs. Serpico. This is one of those "depends on the situation" calls. Judeau has range, but Serpico is fast and has (IMHO) the advantage when things get close-quarters. We never get to see which of them is faster... Serpico's advantage is his intelligence. Judeau isn't stupid, but he's not as crafty or strategic as Serpico. I think Serp would even figure a way to negate Judeau's long range, and then it's Serp with the win. So, unless it was just random meeting on a chaotic battlefield (where even Serp may have trouble devising a good strategy and Judeau's throw-n-go style would be more effective) or a case where long-range would easily rule the day, it's Serpico in my eyes.
just my two cents. the "Would ____ or XXXX win in a fight?" thing has been done so many times, and people always bring their own slant to it. It's still fun though.
but yeah Judeau > Serpico just on factors of coolness.
Hell yeah Judeau's cool; He's the coolest kid in Coolville. He couldn't be any cooler if he was wearing M.C. Hammer's parachute pants.
As far as "old Hawks vs. new guys" I'm thinking Rickert could beat Isidoro. Rickert actually fought a number of battles with the Hawks. Isidoro, on the other hand, throws fire crackers.
Ishidoro doesn't have enough real battle experience to stand a chance vs Rickret.. give him one or two years of fighting 'normal' enemies and he might be worth something..
about serpico, I'm quite sure he could've taken on just about any old hawk member, even without magical items, the level of skills he has is best suited for one on one combat.
now, for the real question. Griffith against Serpico?
who would have won? (past Griffth, of course, before the entire demon lord shabang).
edit: Shinji - I think Miura started this back at 1989, if I'm not mistaken.
Serpico has had battles with Gutts, and even in Gutts worst conditions of locations for Gutts, Serpico still coudln't win. And Gutts beat Griffith. However, that was a special battle of fate. I am convinced no character except Gutts would have been and still is, able to take Griffith down.
I mean, we all know, the reason Gutts is alive is not due to strenght alone. It is his destiny to defy the fate of the world. We learnt this when we learned about how he was born. Everyone saw him as a bad omen because of his birth. His task has always been too great for anyone to understand, including himself (one of the reasons he always felt out of place and like he had no purpose).
Oh, back to the point why no one except Gutts can beat Griffith. Griffith is also lead by the hand of destiny. Only something strong enough to defy destiny could beat Griffith.
By the way, does anyone know when he started Berserk? (Plz remind me of the creators name :))
I was talking about hypotherical battles, none of the destiney bullshit..
Gutts won against Griffith in the past becuase he was stronger, it was a very clear fight. nobody called on for some super powers, and nobody used any super stamina/willpower recovery. it was a pure one on one fight that Gutts owned Griffith. and it would have happened the same at any day at the time.
and on that matter. nowdays gutts is many times stronger than how he used to be back in his hawks days, he could probably kill his past self with only his teeth.
seriously, I saw a berserk action figure from the hawks days and from the current arc collection, and the differnce is something mad. he got buffed up in about three layers of muscle. it ain't something to look down on.
so basically, the fact the serpico couldn't win against him now, doesn't necserlly indicate on how well he would have faced against Griffith. in my eyes, current serpico is stronger than what griffth was, they both fall into the same fighting category, an serpico just seems better.
on to the destiny thing...
I disagree with what you said. he's defintally not a tool of destiny or fate, he's there becuase of the coiencidences of his life, which lead him to meet with griffth, like any other hawks member. from thier onwards, it's all his doing, his destiny was to roll over and die like the rest of the hawks, and he managed to escape that fate for a while. doesn't seem to be working so good for him right now.
by the way, as someone said earlier, Gutts defintally seems like a bad omen for the world, getting into the new hawks way to stop the Kushan invasion to europe, that probably counts as nasty for most people out there (sure, griffth's rule will be of terror, evil and what not... but when did you see a rulership without those?).
as usual, totally irelvent... I'm plannig to get my self a berserk real volume sometime this month..
Hence I remember the God Hand called him the one who defy's destiny, or was that the skull-knight who called him that.Quote:

And now Gutts is probably doing it again. Hence he is the black swordsman. Gutts is a tragic antagonist. :p
It has been almost three months since the last berserk anyone know whats going on? I am a little anxcious to see what happens next and can't wait anymore lol.
Same as before. After the most recent chapter, a break of unspecified duration was announced. There's a news post on the E-G site that says not to expect anything until sometime next year.

That's probably because your question has been spoken about abit in here, go back a page or two and you'll see.
So what do you guys think will happen in the next chap? Will we see them getting to Puck's home island or will there be a long ass journey with monsters out on the ocean?
Or even worse, will we see more of the senseless wars that Griffith fight? I don't care about stuff like that, my first priority is Caska :D Seems like this Kushan invasion might take up a bit too much of what is really necesary.
Do you guys think the comming chap will be a long freakin' thing that you just love or another fart in the wind giving you a sniff of what's to come?
You know, now that you mention it, "Griffith's wars" really were only interesting because Guts and the other Hawk commanders took the spotlight. That being said, though, I'd be excited to watch the battle iff the Neo-Hawk commanders decided to show off their Apostle forms to speed things up.Quote:

much agreed. I'd love to see more of Griffith and him raising his army, and I think Mule might just be that in-road that Miura uses to keep us informed on the White Hawk's doings... don't get me wrong, Guts is the shit, but Griffith, he's the straw that stirs the drink, the true story begins and ends with him, Guts and Caska. Like Sephiroth and Grahf, Homunculi and Char Aznable, Griffith is the reason for the story being as kickass as it is. Every time I see him in a new panel it gives me this shiver and I can't help but think "God, what bastardry..."Quote:

I should ban you for that remark (Miura croacking, that is).
It seems to drag on longer, because of the long waits between chapters, usually it is released every second and fourth Friday, and now we've had about a 3 month break, and probably won't get one for another month. I'm guessing for a release on the 9/02/07.
The next few chapters will most likely be a war between the Kushans and the Hawks, this will make more people love the Hawks, for taking out a bad side.
I don't think Griffiths and Guts will be seeing each other anytime soon.
I think I might go have another read of this before the next chapter.
Good news! it seems like the next chapter will be out January 12.
There might be some spoilers (also has c280 preview pic looks good) :
http://mangahelpers.com/forum/index....seen#msg257422
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Last we saw was the townfolk and soldiers getting cornered from all sides by the Kushan army. I think we're going to see Griffith, and his army going in to rescue them.
280 Preview, we're getting closer.

I wouldn't assume that Miura is coming back to schedule just yet, he could possibly make it another month before a release after this one. So, get your hopes to high with releases every 2nd and 4th Friday just yet.Quote:

Yeah, it continues but it doesn't mean much for Berserk, considering he takes little month breaks every few releases.
Just thought I would say this, last year we got 13 chapters.
Yeah, lets just hope that he will pick up the pace.
Mmm... roughly 260 or so pages.Quote:

chap 280 is out and ready for all yu crazy fans. If you feel helpless in a means of getting it, try checking out www.tokyotosho.com
And here is a fun fact, the next chap will be out in exactly 2 weeks. How do you like them apples?
because 280 was filled with complex and tricky images 281 will contain sticky figures impersonating characters :D
that's the only resonable explanation of why would it be released in 2 weeks time...
good chapter anyway, but where did gutts and the rest of the party hide? they're nowhere there :(
Guts & co. are one day away on a boat at sea, so of course they aren't anywhere nearby.
Also, ever since I caught up to Berserk I don't think I've ever seen it on weekly releases. It's always been one chapter every two to four weeks.
Berserk only gets released on the 2nd and 4th friday of every month, and if it doesn't it gets skipped.
Enter the Hawks to help the Vatican, now to gain even more favour from the people and more people to add to the Hawks army.
Awesome artwork done for this big battle, and soon to get bigger.

281 Preview, not much there but it's good to see.
http://www.younganimal.com/berserk/sp/img/07v03.jpg
Looks like Griffith is going to trump the battle field. Brilliant strategy, and send the enemies running.
God damn does Griffith piss me off or what. He is hogging the spotlight and looked upon as a hero. If they only knew, If only the world would see his true nature. Argh. Anyways, a new chap tomorrow or something like that, is gonna be sweet. Hope this war here will end soon.
20th Century Boys is pretty much the same way, the villian taking the role of the hero in the eyes of the people.Quote:

The Kushans are going to get fucked up.
No preview this week.
282 Raw is out, no translation as of yet, and this chapter really needs one.
282 is out, clash of the uber apostles...
I wonder if Griffith would kill King Ganusha. Will it end here? Or will the King escape?

I think I speak for most when I say this about the chapter: "Well, that WAS fast."
Far from this being a dragged out battle(feast?) between a massive human army and a small monster army, Griffith brings this entire thing to a head within one-and-a-half chapters' worth of full appearances. This is going to be great come next chapter.
Could someone please give me a link to volume 2 and 3? The mangatrader site dosen't work, I only get a 404 Not Found, though all the others work for me..
And I've been going from page 1 to 26 clicking every singel link there is, but none works for me.
Pretty annoying since I have volume 1-30 minus 2 and 3.
Links should be working on MT right now, let me know if they break once again.
Lovely thanks :)
I finally just picked up this manga two weeks ago. All I can say is how amazed I was when I read the awsomeness that is Berserk. I really can't until the next chapter comes out. I wonder what griffith has up is sleeve. And Gutts is by far one of the coolest characters I've ever seen. I hope to keep updated on weekly releases ;)
I'm only on volume 20, but so far I've had a hard time stop reading. Also the detail of this manga is amazing. Little curious though, volume 1-4 it seems he is older then 4 -20(only as far as I've gotten) so if it the longest flashback in history or have I missed something?
Volume 1-4 happens after the eclipse then it goes into the flashback and resumes around I think volume 14.
It's a long flashback.
But that flashback is one of the best parts I believe.
I personally didn't quite liked the flashback. But it was during the time the mangaka wasn't too sure about the character of Gutts. Like the first picture where Gutts is having sex with a monster. Gutts of today would never have sex with anyone else either than Caska. And he was more cynical.
But it was before he wrote the Golden Age.
Hate to nitpick, but I think you're confusing the Black Swordsman arc with the Golden Age arc (which IS the glorified flashback).Quote:

Ahh. Sematics. :p You know what I mean. Gutts would never have sex with a monster just to kill it.
I don't remember Guts ever having sex with a monster. What chapter is this?
It's like the first 3 pages of volume 1.
Ah. Guess I totally forgot about that.
Thanks for the explaination. Have to say I loved the flashback, sort of made everything make a little more sense. Btw, is his name Gatts or Gutts? And the elf, is it Pack or Pukk? The translations sometimes vary. One last question, is the characters talking alot of slang or is that also just the translaters?Quote:

As long as I can remember, I've always known the duo as "Guts" and "Puck." Thinking that the "Gatts" came from the Japanese pronunciation "Gatsu," but who knows.
Not sure where there's an excessive usage of slang... could you possibly point out the specific parts, and which scanslators are you reading from?

I like how Ganishka's unable to even touch Griffith with his residual mist.
