Berserk Discussion Thread

[Jugger]

I think Muira died long ago and his assistants have been carrying on the last few chapters. That's why there's no dialogue :-(

That Idol Master stuff is probably just a cover story.

I read somewhere that he had problem with assistants before so he now has no assistants

[Fireball]

according to aazealh from skullknet miura does have assistants.

[Kusuriuri]

The art is incredibly gorgeous.

[Vault]

Lawl :ryoma Still no dialogue

[Demon_Soichiro]

Berserk new chaps will not have dialogue,only gore,epicness and fawkin art :awesome

[Ciupy]

Jesus Christ..how good can this man's art get..

[Demon_Soichiro]

berserk art is on masterpiece level,respect(it was though volumes ago)

[Ciupy]

berserk art is on masterpiece level,respect(it was though volumes ago)

Too bad that either Miura or me will die before I see the end of this!:argh

[Demon_Soichiro]

:ryoma don't worry pal, he will finish it in 10-20 years,be patient :zaru

[Hellrasinbrasin]

Kentauro Miura's Berserk will end in 20 Years, 4 Months, 12 Days, 48 Minutes, and 36 seconds

[αshɘs]

Well Griffith has tagged Gatts as OFICIALLY PWN

The Griffith Play Book

[05] Establish my Kingdom - Check

[Jesus]

My my, that's an awesome city we got there.

I wonder if there's gonna be a fight on top of that big roof at some point of the manga. :wtf

[Felix]

Oh god, that art, that architecture.
:datass

[Locard]

Oh god, that lack of dialogue, that lack of plot moving on ::D:

em, ppl...have you ever thought about it...

what if idol master is a lie? what if Miura is suffering the Kubo syndrome?

:lolkubo

perhaps Miura doesnt know how the hell he's going to end Berserk and has nothing planned

but instead of using repetitive and uninteresting fights over and over like Kubo does, Miura is using double pages and his artistic flare until he can come up with something?

[Demon_Soichiro]

again this dialogue thing:facepalm,get over it,they dont talk in this manga :zaru,tch :pek

[Higawa]

Berserk is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

YAY :wtf

Finally and that art :druul

Damn is there any better drawn Manga out there?

[Demon_Soichiro]

i can tell u series,but berserks art is still in top

[Hellrasinbrasin]

If we have to wait another 2 months for a chapter again I'm gonna dust off my bong and re-read the first 34 volumes of Berserk.

[seaofjealousy]

Oh god, that lack of dialogue, that lack of plot moving on ::D:

He already gave us an estimate of where the Berserk story is and how much there's left of it, so it's kind of doubtful.

[Hellrasinbrasin]

Locard I find you're lack of Vission most disturbing... perhaps my aprrentice
Darth Sea'J can enlighten you to a broaader perspective :)

[Blaze of Glory]

I knew it

I just fucking knew he'd used Ganishaka's remains to make his castle :awesome

[RivFader]

The new spoilers look sick as usual. I want my RAW now! :argh

[Deathbringerpt]

Oh god, that lack of dialogue, that lack of plot moving on ::D:

If you tell me that the plot isn´t moving on, you clearly haven´t read the latest chapters, including this raw.

Dialog =/= plot.

Berserk was always about exposition first and foremost, it never had a fast pace in the first place.

[hazashi]

uh a lot of people are saying miura's assistants, but Im certain I've read somewhere that he didnt have any assistants, great art anyway

[RivFader]

uh a lot of people are saying miura's assistants, but Im certain I've read somewhere that he didnt have any assistants, great art anyway

He has a whole studio working with him....it's even mentioned in his chapters....

[Demon_Soichiro]

yeah sure :zaru:del

[Deathbringerpt]

He has a studio with 5 assistants. He even names them in his webpage.

[Demon_Soichiro]

sarcasm :zaru, i know that he has a team

[Deathbringerpt]

sarcasm :zaru

Oh.

The emoticons should´ve make it obvious right?

Happens to everybody.

[Berserkhawk z]

I swear Miura's artwork looks better every chapter, honestly if you hang Miura's drawings in museums it would pass for epic art :zaru

[Jugger]

Awsome can´t wait for chapter to be out

[Jesus]

that lack of plot moving on

you gotta be kidding me :wha


this is like the most important turn of events in the entire series since Griffith's ascension...

[Zero™]

Holy cow :amazed

Is there any manga out there with better drawings than Berserk ?
Just wow.

[Berserkhawk z]

Here's a low quality raw for those that are interested.

http://view.thespectrum.net/series/berserk-chapter-307.html?ch=Chapter+307+LQ&page=1

Dammit Miura only 14 pages, i lost the bet :cry

On the upside chapter looks awesome :awesome

[Demon_Soichiro]

in page 299 Riv said 25 pages and i had fixed it into 15(my final guess),i was closer than everyone if i remember,i won :awesome


btw awsome chap,number of pages=big dissapointment

[Muk]

actually if you count all single pages it is about 23 pages :gar

[RivFader]

actually if you count all single pages it is about 23 pages :gar

So I won :quite

Just as keikaku :LOS

[Demon_Soichiro]

Riv u lost :del,next time pal, in the next years chap :zaru

[Locard]

He already gave us an estimate of where the Berserk story is and how much there's left of it, so it's kind of doubtful.that doesnt say much. estimate? maybe he knows how he wants to end this but hasnt find a way to do it properly


If you tell me that the plot isn´t moving on, you clearly haven´t read the latest chapters, including this raw.

Dialog =/= plot.

Berserk was always about exposition first and foremost, it never had a fast pace in the first place.How im gonna read something when there's nothing to read :zaru

Berserk had a waaay faster pace before, when Miura didnt release a chapter every six months

its just that waiting so much for such a slow paced (on purpose) manga is irritating

if he plans to keep his releases this way, he should be more considerate and try to not drag on the story so much with double page spreads and images of Griffith sitting on his horse doing nothing, like he does

now lets wait God knows how much, so Miura can show us the awesomeness of the Kingdom of elves in a full chapter of double page spreads with no dialogue.

[αshɘs]

I'm glad I didn't bet:hmpf
I'm sure next chapter we're back to dialogs and possibly Gutts.

[Zero™]

So when is the next chap, I dont want to read spoilers :scry

[Demon_Soichiro]

after 1 year again :zaru :ryoma

[hazashi]

He has a whole studio working with him....it's even mentioned in his chapters....

never saw that, doesnt matter though

[Zero™]

after 1 year again :zaru :ryoma

Noooooooo :uwah

srsly ? :wth

[p0l3r]

No dialoge?????....:cry:cry:cry

[KidTony]

Nice art, but that was a pretty fucking waste of a chapter.

[Eman5805]

I hate Miura and love him at the same time. He makes us wait months on end for a bunch of two page spreads. It's like of Genny Tartosky(sp?) made you wait several months between each Samurai Jack episode only for it to be one of those silent episodes. Sure, they're great to look at, but it feels incomplete.

[Mat®icha]

another wordless chapter?? goddamm it, miura u fucking brilliant bastard, enough of this already:mad:mad:mad
not satisfied at all:notrust

Miura will probrably die long before that.

[Zero™]

Miura will probrably die long before that.

He better have a successor. :pek

and he better be good :pek

[TSC]

If I remember correctly Muira started Berserk around his mid to late 20's. And berserk started in 1989. taking those into account, Muira should be around in his 40's. So I don't think there's anything to worry about. It's not like he's 60+ yrs old.

[Locard]

Miura should hand over the Berserk script to someone else
stay as writer and let other artist take his place

like Oh Great!

it wont be as epic, but it'd be good. and the ecchi stuff would improve

just dont you dare to hand it over to someone like Oda, Miura! :sun

[Sasuke]

I hope the other God-Hand get more focus eventually.

I want to know more about Void, Conrad and Ubik are fail.

[Nightmare]

New chapter is out :wha

Where where where :spaz

[Eman5805]

Wait, that's one of their names? You've got Femto, Void, Ubik, Slan...and Conrad?!?

[Muk]

Don't know what your talking about, Miura's doing an awesome job with Berserk :zaru
Wait, that's one of their names? You've got Femto, Void, Ubik, Slan...and Conrad?!?
Yeah that's all of them, in all honesty i don't even mind Conrad's name.

All Godhand name's with the exception of Femto actually came from sci-fi novels, even General Boscone's name is beleived to have came from the Boscone of Lensman by E.E. Smith.

If memory serves Miura's most favourite movie of all time is Star Wars, and he named Griffith the falcon after the Millenium Falcon, this however gets confused with Hawk due to the Kanji for Hawk and Falcon being the same.

[Locard]

like hell no

berserk would go down the drain and become shit

no thx
the story would remain the same, only the artwork would change

and that way we could have weekly or bi-weekly releases like decent mangas do

im willing to sacrifice Berserks artwork in order to see the end of the manga before Miura dies or i turn 40


Yeah new chapter on 9th October :nod

Don't know what your talking about, Miura's doing an awesome job with Berserk :zaruyeah, he indeed does an awesome job, too bad he does it 2 times per year only :/


Wait, that's one of their names? You've got Femto, Void, Ubik, Slan...and Conrad?!?
Conrad is very mystic name, didnt you know :zaru

[Segan]

the story would remain the same, only the artwork would change

im willing to sacrifice Berserks artwork in order to see the end of the manga before Miura dies or i turn 40Forget it. Just forget it.

I sure as hell ain't accepting that compromise. It wouldn't be Berserk anymore.

[drakul]

I think this is why Berserk doesnt have anime continuation. Companies will not invest in a show that has no ending.

Conrad is very mystic name, didnt you know :zaru

fuck that shit, i ain't reading berserk for the story anymore

half the reason is for the art, if mirua stops doing that i ain't reading it

[Spike_Shrike]

Bersek would not be Berserk without Miura.
Can we stop this nonsense and continue discussing the manga itself?

It's okay that there is no dialogue. I don't see how the story is not progressing, as someone said. This is one of the most important happenings in the manga to date. Ganishka's death and overlapping of the worlds, on top of Griffith creating his own city, are probably the most important events after the Eclipse itself.

I don't find it strange that we have this many double spreads. The art is fantastic, and it's not like I like to wait four months for a chapter, but hey, Berserk's worth it. I am especially glad that we are back to one chapter per two weeks for now. I can't really wait for this or the next chapter. We should be switching to Guts and co soon.

[Zero™]

so anyone find a high quality translation yet ?

[Sasuke]

Translation? of what?

I thought there were no words in the chapter?

[Muk]

Translation? of what?

I thought there were no words in the chapter?
that little bit of text that was there

and the lq of the raws, i want to see the full raw :(

Damn, that crossover art looked so good if you told me Miura drew that, I wouldn't call you a liar.

[ArtieBoy]

were can i read the new chapter @?

[Dream Brother]

Thinking of catching up on this series. Are Guts and co still sailing to fairy island?

Also, parody on the last page was brilliant.

Yes they are.

[seaofjealousy]

I never see why people always whine on and on like that on the whole way to the island thing.:apathy

I mean the actual story of Berserk has little to do with it, the actual time the development of the story is going to be when Guts decides what he does, he's been deciding back and forth since the beginning of the manga, whether he protects Caska and finds his dream, or he gives to his revenge until his sword(his sword is his dream) breaks, it's such a stupid move to think that the story revolves getting to the damn island when in the 1st Volume the author tells you in the face that it's about a man's struggle or decision.

[Jugger]

did i say it here or somewhere else that miura is making full berserk vol without text. Anyway where i can find this chapter

Haha, I actually wouldn't care if they NEVER reached the island, as long as there would be massive character development in exchange. My only concern is that we don't actually get this development -- instead we're given tantalising hints and beautiful artwork, but not much else. If Guts actually evolves as a character in a definite way, then screw the entire island. But has that actually happened yet? As I said, I haven't caught up, but I'm dubious about there being any real development for characters during this endless ship journey. I'm gonna read it sometime today, so I'll be very happy to be proven wrong.

[James]

Here's a better quality scan with the next chapters date on it, i think we are back to our usual release schedule people :awesome

I think newer readers don't seem to understand what happens with Berserk.

Every time Miura comes back from a break, there are chapters every 2 weeks for a month or two and then maybe one that takes a bit longer...and then another break.

Never expect more than 10 chapters a year of Berserk nowadays. I mean that entirely seriously.

He's been doing the breaks thing for a good 4 years or so I think...maybe more. I can't remember, I was caught up to the manga as of 2004 or so but since then everything is a blur in terms of releases but it does feel like very little has happened since then.

That excuses the execution being complete shit? When you get chapter after chapter with no realy progression with the story or characters and you've stalled for YEARS with so few chapters being released, you get called out for it.

I agree with what you said mostly, I dunno about the latest volumes, a little griffith-centered.

Yeah, and they should be at the island by now. Your rant earlier encompassed that Berserk, for years, has had abysmal pacing

[yo586]

Yeah, and they should be at the island by now. Your rant earlier encompassed that Berserk, for years, has had abysmal pacing

I really don't agree with this. Its a matter of perspective. Looking at it as a fan who reads chapter by chapter, the manga's pacing is slow and the story is no fun.
It seems Miura is pacing it so that when (or if) its complete, reading it fluidly it will be the most epic manga to date. These few chapters with no dialogue will be quick reads and visually stunning. It sets up the stage for the later dialogue.
It'd be a lot more bearable if the waits aren't so painfully long. But I'm confident it'll be best for when we see a finished product.

[Lightysnake]

He's had that chance and he's consistentl failed. The story went to a crawl for years.

[seaofjealousy]

Yeah, and they should be at the island by now. Your rant earlier encompassed that Berserk, for years, has had abysmal pacing

I said that getting to the island will bring no more development that not getting there, the story ISN'T about the damn island, it's about Guts doing his decision, but if you don't understand me or don't agree with me it's fine, nobody is forcing you to agree or disagree, ignore me by all means.

[Yusuke5678]

berserk is still epic,with or without ''dialogue''

[Deathbringerpt]

(Oh hey, the pope talked.)

Jesus, Falconia is absolutely gigantic.

Love the greek motive of it, the architecture seems really out of place with what we are used to seeing in Midland which serves to emphasize the magical nature of it. It looks absolutely awesome.

There´s a theory on the Internet about the last page where it shows Guts holding his prosthesis, in the ship voyage, Guts almost let Caska drown when he tried to grab her with his fake arm and realized that in the end, it didn't really replaced his lost arm and was just a quick fix for that.

When the Astral realm fused with the real world and the astral aura swallowed every human in the world, Guts' arm had a different aura to it. People are theorizing that Guts now could use his fake arm and feel it like a real, actual limb. Which would be pretty fucking cool.

[Demon_Soichiro]

The more the better :zaru

yeah we need more lq of this chap :awesome

Funny, Falconia is compared with the ancient city that King Gaiseric once founded that's below the original capital of Midland.

When Guts and co goes to the tower of Rebirt to save Griffith and princes Charlotte is talking about that city, it's shown a bunch of human corpses that were God hand sacrifices and ruins of buildings with architecture very similar to the buildings in Falconia.

And we haven't had much over Guts's decision either way. The island is the next step in the plot and there's been nothing for years. BLEACH has better pacing.
I 'understand' just fine. The problem is that's not what's happening: chapter upon chapter has been to show off the art. All style, no substance. Many of these past few chapters could've been compressed into just one or two chapters. All of Guts's peychological struggles mean nothing if so little happens and the plot goes at a crawl during it.

It's awesome :gar

Does anyone else think that now fantasy creatures are becoming real, Gutts monster side will take form?

That´s one of the popular theories going around, everything magical is going to be boosted big time on earth right now, including the Berserk armor, who know that the hell is gonna happen now.

I lol'ed at Miura´s message at the end of the chapter.

Actually i completely forgot about this anniversary, it´s the first time in 20 years.

[TargaryenX]

I still don't really get what's going on here. Is Griffith turning into a grey character or is there some diabolical scheme behind what he's doing? It seems like he's creating a magical unicorn fairyland where everyone can live happily ever after. Is he going to turn around next chapter and be like "hah, now all your souls/free will/secks/base belong to me"? The only conflict I see in the current story is getting Caska back to normal.

[Drizzt]

I believe that is what exactly will happen - this is the shining moment for Griffith - he got his castle, land and woman. And like all tyrants - after becoming the ruler, he doesn't really know what to do, thus everything will turn to the dark ages. I'm pretty sure that the Holy See prophecy mention - the black hawk will descent and make an age of darkness. I'm paraphrasing here - I'll have to re-read it again - but yeah, Griffith's rule will be a terrible one - even worse than Garseric's/SkullKnight's rule.

Any scenarios with Griffith against Narutoverse will end up with Griffith the victor, and he won't even need to try :zaru

The other scenarios are more of a challenge but giving the Apostles greater numbers and Irvine's reach advantage from the safety of Falconia, id still give it to the BoTh.

Well, the apostles sure can make good use of the terrain, but the same goes for shinobi, too. Anyway, I guess we should continue in the OBD thread, don't you think? :amuse

[Hellrasinbrasin]

Its benn 6 days 2 hours 1 Minutes 35 seconds since Volume 34 of Berserk was released and yet a release remains unspoken.

What do we need to talk about it for? We already have seen all the chapters. I'm only waiting for vol 34 to come over to Europe.

Yeah I'm tired of Griffith now. Hope to see guts again.


Yeah meh,I want to see Gutts again in action:kaga

[Berserkhawk z]

Yeah meh,I want to see Gutts again in action:kaga

With a cured soul hopefully :zaru

It would suck if Gutts soul can't be cured by the elf king, and it's only a matter of time till he rotts away :(

Was it worth it for that one moment with Slann Gutts, was it :arg

[Demon_Soichiro]

Gutts will drink the holy elixir in the end of the series:zaru,trust me :awesome

[Segan]

How the hell is Guts going to be cured? It's not like he's suffering from a disease. Unlike Casca, he's perfectly sane (when he's not activating his armour).

Besides, there's still the brand of evil. I doubt the elf king has the means to counter the powers behind it 'cause it's from the God Hand and our beloved Idea of Evil.

[Berserkhawk z]

Only seven days till the next chapter people, i wonder how awesome Pucks home will be :zaru

Could somebody remind me what's wrong with Gutts soul? It's been such a long time since I've read Berserk...

Slann made a small cut across his chest which also cut his soul, and over time like a physical wound it's bleeding out and slowly killing Gutts.

He's already lost some colours and taste :(

Really?:huh

I always tought that was because of the Berserker Armor slowly turning him into a skull/knigth/man/something.

Pretty sure that is it too. SK even mentioned those were the effects of using the armour.

Oops your right, my bad :(

He's still dying from Slaans cut though :(

[Eman5805]

Not to mention his skin is still badly burned from the flying through Ganish...Garudaman...big ugly Persion mofo's head. Doesn't look like it was just superficial damage either.

[Segan]

He's not affected by Slann's cut anymore. It's become another scar on his soul. What's more significant is the amount of damage he's taken over time since wearing the Berserker Armour. He needs a good and long rest.

Physical over-straining plus getting fried the living hell outta him has taken a heavy toll on him. Plus he's losing consciousness then and there, not to mention, his inner Beast is getting loose within his soul.

[Muk]

So the ship journey was something really good for Gutts, since its the one time where he doesn't have to fight at all for a very long time.

question will be whether or not the captain will turn on them and try to make a huge profit out of elfheim

that might turn into an elf vs human/griffith war

[Segan]

Rodrick seems far too noble for turning on Guts' party. But making a profit out of Elfhelm is somewhat possible, if only because of Farneze's brother.

Consensual sex, obviously. I'm pretty sure he'll destroy Femto's ass after he gets laid.

[Goodfellow]

Nah, there's no third degree burns (they are really easy to recognize). Heck, there's not even any second degree ones (second degree burns leave boils).

[MaskedMenace]

I don't know why gutts is trying to "heal" caska. After everything that has happened to her, she is better off not getting her memories back.

To be fair Guts has been through a lot as well both during the eclipse and after.
Is to much to ask that he wants his lover to regain her sanity, instead of a shell of her former self who hates him and cannot stand the touch of men?

However I think that Casca will return to normal but will have complete amnesia since she does not want to remember the past. After all skull knight did tell Guts, what she wishes may not be what he wishes.

[Deathbringerpt]

No one posted the volume 34 omake already?

How did Femto rape Caska? It doesn't really seems like he has 'male parts'.

Gutts:"Who the fuck woke me up!".
Ghost ship turns around and sails as fast as it can.
Sea monster shows up a second later, Gutts one shots it with his arm cannon.
Every Monster in a 20 mile radius:"I'm not attacking a ship that mans on."

No date for 309? :neutral

He'll feel it like a normal arm, you heard it here.

Edit: No break so next chapter in 2 weeks.

[Spike_Shrike]

The chapter was good, can't wait for the next one.
I had hoped to see Elfeim though, but eh.

I hope the next chapter is in two weeks, but since there is no date...I am thinking it will be more like a month.

[Berserkhawk z]

New chap was awesome :gar

Gutts is back :gar

No release date for 309 though :(

[Segan]

I think, the reason why we're not seeing Elfhelm yet is because Miura intends to do something with Guts...like find back some shape after the grueling battles at Flora's and in Vritannis haven.

[Jicksy]

^ maybe. it seems like overdue recovery and relax time for a short while.

[Eman5805]

Looks like Gutts has healed from those burns. And is it just me or does his arm look...different?

[ArtieBoy]

I demand ghost ship "BATTLE" in one piece :(

lol but 2 weeks is good. i can wait.

[Mat®icha]

thought already commented on 308.

fantastic chapter, i really missed this conversation and very funny pranks. this kid amazes me to no end. finally enter the Gutts. i find gutts' fight far more interesting than grifith's dull/lame fights. cant wait for him to run berserk again.

I mean he is Gutts after all, but his battle experience doesn't include 'stranded in sea' fights (IIRC). If he falls in the water, he won't be coming back up :hmm.
