Berserk Chapter 374 Discussion

Finally after so long of waiting



Rickert and the Kushans boarded their ship they most probably will try to talk with Guts and what happened on the elf island also the whereabouts of Casca but Guts is at his breaking point and can go Berserk any moment now



Hope we will keep getting more chapters and Berserk comes to an end soon enough as it is close to its final arc

Hoping Guts accepted the Berserker armor and goes crazy next chapter. If the regiment of Kushan trying and failing to hold him back with chains it's quite possible.

I don't like this pupilless/irisless motif of the Kushan like they're zombies. I'm surprised to look back and see that Miura did it before. Seems kind of racist actually to portray the brown guys as monsters like this. I hope when it's revealed that Rickert and the Kushan are going to team up with Guts that they all are not suddenly drawn with pupils. That would be a really cheap kind of effect.



I hate seeing Rickert at the end like Link Twink BoTW Gerudo outfit. When Guts was his age he looked like a man and Rickert's supposed to be a fighter now.

the kushan people are definitely not speaking hindi. thats for sure. it can be sanskrit. but the grammar is just off. the miura team might not have done their indian homework this time. or maybe they are intentionally triying to write gibberish

See yall in 4 months again.

Awesome chapter. Beautiful arc, well done scenario and its presentation. A fine beginning of the next Chapter of Fantasia Arc.



It was great to see Rickert, Silat and the tapasa again. It wasn't hard to imagine them appearing somewhere during the boarding, but still you never know what may happen.



What's gonna happen next? I guess Kushans wanted to meet with Guts and convince him somehow to join them. Guts is clearly a powerful and experienced warrior, so he would be surely be a great help in the upcoming war between Falconia and Bakiraka. After all, Griffith had mentioned that Falconians' next target is on the East.

new berserk chapter after ages. beginning of a new arc. interesting to see where they'll take things from here

Why are ya'll assuming that this is bad for Guts & Co? So far the Kushan haven't harmed a single person on the boat. Even if Guts is chained up (and I see no proof that he is, just that he is on his feet again), is that necessarily a bad thing? Maybe they just want to restrain him until they can be sure Rickert can talk to him and calm him down, lest he murders them all because he can't tell that they're friend and not foe?



I mean yeah the way they boarded the ship wasn't exactly nice, but I think it's obvious that Rickert has been searching for Guts. If they don't know which boat Guts & Co are on, they could easily be walking onto an enemy ship and into a fight. Much better to subdue everyone first, then check to see if Guts or his companions are among them, especially if they are trying to keep Rickert safe. It's not exactly a secret that he has a huge target on his back now, after openly defying and running out on Griffith.



Even before they showed Rickert I wondered if he was directing them to search for Guts. We know he got away with the Bakiraka, and Roderick's crew mentioned that the Kushan seemed much more efficient this time, which was a clue that Rickert was helping them. Rickert is a talented weaponsmith and one of only three people who knew Griffith personally at this point (four if you count Charlotte which I do not - she is infatuated with him but I don't believe she ever knew the real Griffith); he's an absolute VIP to them, and if he told them of a powerful ally who hates Griffith even more than they do (and Silat could back him up here), of course they'd want to find him. It seemed pretty obvious to me that they were told to look for a man with a giant sword and to be careful until they could get Rickert safely on board to talk to him. Guts was pretty helpless in this chapter; if they wanted to eliminate him they could have easily killed him before he had a chance to do anything.



Maybe the Kushan will have some magic that can help him master the Berserker armor, or at least know some way to expose Griffith as not human or make him corporeal so Guts can land a hit on him. The dervish who helped Rickert get away clearly had a few tricks up his sleeve that Griffith wasn't aware of. But in any case I think this is a reunion that has been a long time coming.
