There was fire-breathing last chapter?

how about a link?
Yeah seriously bitches, you can complain all you want after you give us a link.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
There wasn't, but that's not the least bit interesting at all.
god, even god has gone all bitchy and whiny on us.
another one joins the griffth fanclub. and will soon turn to a mountain (volcano, tree of dominion - choose your legend).
show me some violence!
Any words about a new chap coming out soon? Been quite a while since we last saw a chapter, and man do I want to see this Griffith business over and done with, haven't read anything since it started and I refuse to read it before Guts is back.
it has been awhile. i caught up, and i'm actually enjoying what's going on with Griffith and the emperor. i really thought the latest chapter with the Emperor 'losing himself in himself' was a rather well done and dramatic one. too bad it's a character most of us don't care about.
so, griffith is doing all these good things and, and i can't believe i'm even wondering this... but is there a chance that maybe he's building a 'country of his own' that would actually be a good place? Sure, he's uniting the Vatican countries probably just to control them, but did he really need to save the lives of all those people in Midland? Or is this all a setup for when Griffith goes and fucks everyone over somehow?
I've been pondering this for awhile, and I'm going to be doing it anyway since it's something i think i'll enjoy.
i'm going to be writing a few little essays on some of the reoccurring themes in Berserk. there's alot more to this manga than just 'cool action and memorable characters', and i've pulled up a list of things i'd write about. tell me if you think i should add a theme or if i missed one.
losing oneself - 1 - losing oneself in oneself
losing oneself - 2 - losing oneself in others, in the world
eyes
Beauty and loss of beauty
animal, monster or human? - blurring the lines
water - 1 - kinds of, what they represent
water - 2 - flow
Dreams
Sexual violence
Followers and leaders - sacrifice and service
Friends
Shedding - bonds, blood
women
hands
doctrine vs personal beliefs/direction
nature and manmade manifestations
Revenge
Fire - sparks and steady flame
recommendations for additions are welcome.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Well there is one aspect to his country that just means doom no matter how you look at it. He makes no distinction between alive and dead creature. I mean, living people are bound to be eaten in his little "utopia". As long as Griffith lives, evil will follow him like they do Gats and Caska.
And this brings me to a very sad topic, the only way for this to end is if Gats and Caska become free of their curse, which probably will only happen if all the god hands are dead. Pretty big task, and more likely is that Gats will die trying.
Also, to "kind of" add to your list:
The good guy being the bad guy in the eyes of people.
The bad guy being the good guy in the eyes of people.
I just love this theme of the manga. Only a few people know to call Griffith "The hawk of darkness", everyone else calls him "the hawk of light". On the other hand, where ever Gats goes he is hated like no tomorrow, and he is actually in the right, which only a few selected people know.
I just love that shit, could talk about it for hours.
I saw an ad on /a/ for a Berserk/Someothermanga crossover battle coming out in November. Maybe this means another chapter is on its way?
Here is the New Berserk RAW:
Megaupload
Note: I came.
I wanted to be able to say the same... but I can't.
the last three pages were amazing, but the rest of it wasn't...
also, FH version had some weird wording and could use a proper grammatical QC.

You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
i'll have to check the RAW.
If he actually referred to them as 'demons' in front of the Princess, the Pope and everyone in Midland, then, wow, that's a great move on his part.
I mean, there's no way they can get out of this battle without acknowledging the power of Griffith and his Apostles. Just plainly showing them, "Yeah, my army of hell spawn just kicked the shit out of the evil invader (demon) and saved the entire kingdom." puts everyone in the uncomfortable position of plainly seeing what kind of power Griffith has and being unable to do much about it.
It's a brilliant power play. Nobody will ever get to say "Man, something's fishy with Griffith's most powerful soldiers" because everyone will know for sure that that's how he rolls, with butt loads of super powerful demons. He's thrown diplomacy and clever schemes to the wind, banking on his horrifyingly awesome impending victory (and probably a following reign of terror) to do all the talking.
at least, that's where i'm sitting. maybe he'll spin some kind of yarn about how he's so Jesus-like that even demons obey him, but i think he's beyond such deceptions these days.
edit - yeah, that's the kanji for 'demon' alright... some cases it might be 'a spirit' but, well... most often it's used for evil demons, especially when it's War Demon Army. Yeah. Griffith's got balls like Tiger Woods.

When I saw the last couple of panels, all I could think was "Autobots transform!"
Times 10.
Chapter 299
edit - Blood and guts, but the only real thing of potential substance is the cliffhanger at the end, which is probably going to be how Griffith explicitly gets his message across to everyone...
I crave more development!

well, it's only two weeks until next chapter.
I think that Griffith's generals (the dragon guy, the lancer, etc) aren't all that special after all, the raid team had four other giant beasts beside the dragon, and they look just as scary as he does. especially the whale with legs, he is creepy.
Zodd (and the owl witch, and the weird Persian assassin) is the only decent fighter griffith has.

What do you mean: "not that special?" I'd imagine Locus and Grundbeld are exceptional even amongst the apostles to earn positions as unit leaders of their own specialized squads.
Also, never imagined that Irvine's apostle form would look like what it does. Thought it'd be more like one of the more surreal type of apostle seen during the Eclipse event. Makes me wonder if Griffith will take on Godhand form to battle wacky-inflatable-tubearm-emperor.
