Berserk Chapter 159 Discussion

Aroused by fire ? normal in Berserk world

It looks like Serpico, really has a heart and don't approve, the burnings.

Really, there is no end to those sick-minded people in the Berserk world.

That bitch is crazy.

And i think this should be chapter 143, not 159

143. "Pillar of Flame" (炎の柱 "Honō no Hashira")



A friend of mine pointed this out, it seems the bakabt torrent and Dark Horse actually number the chapters from the beginning. The thing is the original version, and probably some of the fan translations, number the very first arc, The Black Swordsman, as "episodes" with the "chapters" starting sometime in the Golden Age arc. No idea why it was originally like that, years later it just causes unnecessary confusion.



Anyway, about Farnese. I guess you could say she's "crazy", but I think that betrays the complexity of her character. She knows she's kind of fucked up, but ones true nature is hard to keep at bay. Also, I don't think it's fire she's aroused at so much as pain, or rather inflicting pain in general. Fire, being the start of the fetish is probably the most "intense" for her, though. Anyway, she's pretty fascinating, I don't think I've seen perversion tackled in such a way during my time in anime and manga. I could see me honestly favoriting her some day.



Also, interesting contrast with Serpico there. Whereas Farnese is turned on by fire, he seems to be afraid, or rather sick, of it. Also, it's implied that Farnese was the one who burned his mother as a heretic three years ago. So, why would he follow her? Is it for revenge? I don't think so, I have a feeling it's more complicated. It's clear to me that he's been watching out for her, I've honestly figured he was in love with her. But, loving your mothers killer would definitely complicate things.



All in all, Farnese and Serpico are great additions to the main cast.

                        Hm so she's aroused by fire or something.

[Pillar of Flame]



Well that excalated quickly. I'm expecting Farnese and Serpico to be studied in depth.

Jerome seems like a decent dude. Also Farnese is definitely a pyrophiliac witht the way she was playing with herself while thinking about those people being burned. Well she did have a fucked up childhood so it's not really that surprising.

That was kinda hot.

the threatened



is wut? huh? wuts decisively missing from dis world? smh miura rly left us hangin like dat 😔😔 it wuz honestly an interestin discussion

F*cking intense chapter, Guts to the rescue!

I don't care for Farnese, but I like Serpico.



I forgot to mention it when it happened a few chapters ago, but his surprise attack on Guts was sick. The way he sort of shrugged off the damage to his shoes and walked away was great.



His past seems interesting, and I look forward to finding out more about his character, unlike Farnese.

Ironic that Serpico now works for the very people who's favorite method of execution killed his mother kek



Farnese was really kinky and naughty...despite the burning corpse fetish~ That insanity's the only way of keeping her sane.
