The art looks really good, too.
I do wonder if we are indeed getting it abridged, or if this is just like one out of the many chapters Miura preferred doing without almost zero dialogue in the past. the climax with Griffith in Conviction was very similar to what just happened here, quite a few cool parallels there, even in terms of presentation.
Then there was Falconia with nearly a tankobon worth of nearly textless visual porn.
I think that, considering they are taking their time with this climactic moment, it's a bit early for us to properly tell just yet if they aren't just giving us more of a summary, in my humble opinion.
Still, quite the amazing pair of chapters to kickstart this new era.
These two chapters are very confusing after chapter 380's ending. It looked like Griffith wanted to talk, even shed a single tear but now... he has the most malicious smile I've ever seen? And he even brought Zodd? Huh. Very weird, not the direction I've expected- but Guts trying to kill him immediately is understandable. Not much to discuss here, really.

They vaguely captured the style, but the difference between Miura's hand and Studio Gaga's is insurmountable and obvious to any discerning eye.
Nah, it's just as good as their individual work with Duranki. It's as close to Miura's art as we will ever get. The nuances from his microscopic attention to detail aren't there, but the difference is not that big, just noticeable. While we do of course lose a bit in quality, their work with the art was great here.
I maintain my position. But it was not unexpected. It's just going to be frustrating listening to fans who can't tell or will pretend that there's no difference in the coming months. One thing that was lost was the weight of Guts' sword, which has been a staple since the very beginning of the manga. I expected them to be a little more careful with these little things but alas, they're going really barebones on production.
Btw Duranki had better art. I did read it, thank you.
Guts’ sword definitely still had its weight. Don’t have a clue what your talking about.
Lol, he was using that heap of raw iron like a kitchen knife. You skimmed through Berserk chapters real hard buddy. Someone needs to reread the very first chapter.
oh boy you love saying that to everyone here buddy. You must’ve skim read the new chapters. When guts does that first swing against Griffith it very clearly has weight. You should reread the new chapters 😘
It's actually kinda insulting to Miura to consider the artistic immaturity of the new chapters to be just as good as the sophisticated hand of Miura. I expected as much from the assistant staff, just please stop pretending that they're the same lol
