Berserk Chapter 364 Discussion

Can't believe Miura ended his run with one of his best chapters in a long time. While it is extremely disappointing that we'll never get to see the following interaction that would've ensued, this is a good enough open-ended thematic ending to Berserk. That one of Griffith's most vile and unnecessary acts, borne entirely of resentful pettiness, would eventually cause a crack in his godly armor is nothing short of divine retribution. The man who lost everything found peace while the man who conquered all was left empty. A sentimental victory for Guts, if not the revenge he was seeking.



Funny that despite all, Berserk still managed to land a more poignant conclusion than most long-running manga. Rest in peace, Miura. You did great work.

Well, I'm just speechless.. It's done and it was such a beautiful last ch..

Well, that's it. These 364 chapters were really worth my time.

wow, can't believe it's over... thanks #)

ميورا أحس وأنا اقرءه الفصل انها النهاية ان مافية آمل نحصل على نهاية لكن الفصل كان كافي ك  وداعيه أتمنى لا يتم أستكمال القصة بدون ميورا و أفساد ما أراد ان يكتبة ,

تباً لل غريفيث الحقير بعد لي سواه في كاسكا شوه جنينهم و استولا علية

شكراً ميورا لن أنساك  .

I don't really know how to feel about this being the last chapter? It's so crazy to think that it's over... I kind of want a proper ending even if its like a written epilogue.... The 3 that started this are finally together, but we don't know what happens. I guess its like up to our imagination. Would they forgive or would bloodshed ensue?



I guess us strugglers are just going to have to keep struggling and try to find our own meaning.

But we caught on that Moonlight Boy was Guts and Casca's child for a while now. It was basically confirmed after Femto slept with Charlotte ten chapters or so ago... he looks at his hair turning black and disappears out the window... but we've theorized this for some time, as visual indicators and clues abounded.



man you nailed it, how i missed that?



Chapter 358: clear like crystal that Griff = Moonlight Boy.









That is the problem with long hiatus, at the time i was reading 358, i've forgot about the moonlight boy. And now, i've forgot 358 already lol

The practicality of this chapter makes me wonder if Miura knew his life's status was limited, as if this would be the final chapter anyway. There's many 'goodbye' sentiments within: mostly family orientated closure - this wasn't just a goodbye to fans or Berserk, it was a goodbye to his close friends and family. In a sense he's also apologizing and wishes things could be different but this is just how his life has been.

I'm having second thoughts on Griffith's choice now and it's causing a cognitive dissonance within my reasoning of his commitment to become Femto. As if the old Griffith is stuck in a demon and can't get out, wishing things could be different, looking back on his life choices and wishing things were different. All in all accepting reality. This is Miura projecting and it makes this chapter so emotionally engaging and satisfying. Spectacular ending to a manga and a man who put everything into his work.

RIP
