This chapter felt weird. I appreciate good-looking art and crazy things that have started happening with Rakshas' entrance, but at the same time the direction and pacing felt off. Too chaotic. Not because of chaos taking place in the Kushan capital city, but the way it was portrayed. Rushed in some places, but sluggish in another ones in a way that it hardly could be called as "a moment to catch breath".
Going back to Rakshas, woah. He was capable of opening the gate to Qliphoth. Aa Daiba has noticed, it is not something a regular apostle is capable of. Let's not forget that Qliphoth is Slan's domain. Perhaps she decided to aid Femto aka Griffith? Who knows.
Heh, another break, as expected. Well, hopefully it won't be a hiatus lasting for many months, but who am I trying to fool? We are talking about Berserk, after all. xD Guts mopping over "muh sword" at the end of a chapter might become the Boat arc's successor in terms of symbolizing long and frequent hiatus.
