It's nice to see that Miura's assistants are good at drawing Griffith's gang as well. Sonia was more adorable than ever in this chapter! And I wonder how she will react to Casca's presence, seeing as she was already jealous enough of the attention Griffith gave Charlotte.

... it's usually used for parodies though, I can't believe it was actually in a Berserk chapter

The last few chapters Miura penned himself seemed hopeful because it was the calm before the storm. We knew this wasn't gonna last because the manga couldn't end before a final showdown between Guts and Griffith, and naturally that confrontation would pack a track lot of suffering and misery. The fact that Miura passed away before reaching that point in the story doesn't mean he wasn't gonna go there.
If anything, the latest chapters answered a question a lot of people had: what would make Guts go back to fight Griffith even though he seemed ready to give up his grudge on him? Now we know the reason. Guts will go back because Griffith took Casca. Makes total sense. So much so that I don't understand why I didn't see it coming.

Griffith was always possessive and more. Emulates the people that has said or done things to him and he wants a hold of his dream and anything he feels has a place for it. The only reason he has anything against Guts is the fact that Guts decided to walk away and create his own path that his friend would truly respect when they met again. Griffith didn't allow himself to be vulnerable enough to even convince Guts to stay, when he was running his mouth off to a princess, never knowing Guts was within earshot. When it comes to Casca, she was one of the people willing to fight for Griffith and his dream and then she falls in love with Guts, while he was being tortured for his private time with the princess in discussion, not even knowing that her father was a twisted perverted person.
Griffith puts all his failures on Guts (at least that's what I think so far), not even considering that if he had just talked to Guts, things probably would have turned out differently, a possibility anyway. Being fair, those two had lived through the worst of what the times were in the era they lived in, so it left them to be people to not show vulnerability most times. Griffith put all his hopes into the Belhelit to reclaim what he had lost by his own hands the second he was unable to keep Guts at his side. Casca is one of them for reasons that I'm sure that has been worked in theory as to why he kidnapped Casca, and one reason I can come up that's not a theory is because Griffith knows Guts cares for her and wanted to rip any happy thing away from his life. You can have all that power and still be insecure. And that's any person in history that has ever ruled like that elsewhere. He has to use a supernatural occurrence to get the best of the person you hurt, because you believed he hurt you by leaving him, when he was doing what he thought you wanted him to do to be a true equal. To quote a fictional character who became the evil who couldn't comprehend his actions in a certain RPG game "What an all-mighty idiot"! Of course, the stooges surrounding him who follows him out of good deeds are unaware of his action that would make them say "F that S, I'm out" if they knew what he has done to get this far. Rickert was right to slap that guy. |

I don't even get why magical creatures are disappearing and even witches are losing their powers when Griffith's actions were supposed to have allowed the supernatural to basically merge with the real world.

I've forgotten why Rickert is even with the Kushans. I remember he rejected Griffith, but not how he was accepted by them. And it looks like he may even be in a position of power? They haven't killed anyone and they were clearly looking for Guts. I know Kushans and Guts have history, but it doesn't seem like they intend to hurt him.
