soooo hiatus again?

Was I the only one that had the Firelink shrine theme in my head when I was reading the segment with Hanarr?



Really speaks to Miura's artistic talent when you can go from Studio Ghibli to Dark Souls in 20 pages.



Especially when Andre upgraded Guts armour with a titanite shard.

Boring chapter? The fuck?! This chapter confirms the Skull Knight=King Galesic theory that's been hanging around for decades. Not only that but we get to know more about the berserker armor and there was also some nice world-building shown in the chapter.  How can some people here call it boring or state that "not much happened"?

Seriously...

At this point the story has been going to slow I actually forget alot of what has happened between the eclipse and now...



Also do people like the new artstyle? It's quite well drawn but personally it looks too soft compared to the earlier stuff. I can't really recognize Casca for instance, just doesn't feel right.

Schierke flying around with Morda made for a very picturesque perspective of Elfhelm's landscape, that's for sure. It was also very interesting that there's actually a spot in the island where the more menacing and seclusive magical residents reside in. I really love how absurdly detailed yet extremely clean-looking Miura's art is.



It was awesome to see them finally meet the person who crafted the infamous Berserker Armour and Skull Knight's armour too. I'm very curious on what he'll do with Guts' gear since there's a strong possibility that he'll be able to enhance them too if he proves himself worthy of wielding the power it gives, considering how he triggered the armour all of a sudden.



It was probably because I never thought about it before but this chapter was actually the first time I have come to the realization that Skull Knight's skull was actually a helmet. What's behind the armor of the former Skull King remains a mystery but there's a very good chance that this will be touched on in a few more chapters. No idea how long that would take though lmao











The witches can help him  to get more powerfull.

Just realized Kentaro Miura, the writer of Berserk is the same age as Yoshiro Togashi, the writer of YYH and Hunter X Hunter. Both 54. I wonder how much longer Berserk can go on for, its gone on for 31 years, I don't think it could go on for too much longer, I'm sure Miura wants to retire soon, he's just turned 54.

schierke and morda make for a fun dynamic... also cool to see the man who made the berserker armor and skull knight's armor

Lots of exposition this chapter, but we learned a lot about skull knight and the berserker armor...



As for the loli witches subplot... I could really care less.



The cliffhanger was another rough one. Miura really knows how to write them.
