    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.

    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".

    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.

    Bagandscalpel makes a rare appearance.

    I hope all those humans following Griffith die. Thats why I hate religious coots who go on and on about faith, any logical thinking person would know somethings up. The reason they thought Guts was evil was because he was always involved with monsters, the fact that he was fighting them didn't make any difference because everywhere he went monsters showed up.

    But here we have a man thought to be long dead suddenly appear out of nowhere calling himself the Hawk of Light and he has a freaking army of Demons, and she just says "so what if they're monsters" and thats it.

    What a load of crap, and you know whats funny. They're shouting sorceress sorceress and the pope is right there. Doesn't the church hunt sorceresses down and burn them

    well, yeah, of course it's ridiculous hypocrisy for the church... but then again, the facts Sonya pointed out are undeniable: the monsters are fighting to protect the people of Midland (for now).

    besides, what are their options right now, really? They're going to have to follow Griffith's excellent orders just to survive this battle, even with the demon army taking the brunt of the assault. there will be plenty of time for grumbling and religious fervor after they battle ends...

    but i've got a feeling that, yes, by and large the people (particularly the Pope) are going to buy all of this crap and throw away all their pre-existing religious values and thoughts on magic in a bus-sized plot hole. but, we'll see...

    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".

    I bet you that If the promotional picture was of gutts and not Griffith, you would have felt differently.

    still, it's good news. Berserk comes out (when it comes out) once every two weeks, right?
