Berserk Chapter 8 Discussion

I tended to think that the Count wouldn’t sacrifice his daughter through out the latest chapters, but after all this is Berserk we’re talking about. So nothing can be certain until he made the decision and he proved me right that he still had his humanity and love for his daughter.



I don’t think he ran out of time and neither did we need a clear “I can’t do it” from him.

It’s obvious that he saw the happy family image that he desired the most deep inside through his daughter. That’s why he gave up sacrificing her at the end and even the god hand felt surprised at the result.

Sometimes powerful image is more impactful than clear lines.



At first I didn’t know why Guts cried. But on a second thought of the little I knew about his past, I figured out that it was probably because of Thereria saying “it’s all your fault”.

Once you get to know what happened in his childhood & what he had experienced as you read afterwards, you’d know how fucked up dat line did to his life.

I wasn't quite sure if the count made the decision not to sacrifice Theresia, or if he just ran out of time. We never got a clear "I can't do it!" from him, and he seemed pretty desperate, so I'm personally more inclined to think he was gonna do it, but didn't do it in time. I kinda like how Miura left it ambiguous like that. What did you guys think?

Oh Guts looked so sad..

I'm kinda questioning Miura's decision to reveal so much info in the first story arc. I think I prefer how the anime did it: the first episode was kept purposely vague, with only a brief mention of Griffith. That way, you don't know how deep their relationship goes until you get to the Golden Age.



Anyway, this arc was pretty good so I'm hoping my opinion will change sooner or later. It'll certainly be an experience to re-live the intense emotional experience that is the next arc.

R.I.P. Theresia's sanity.
