    What a great arc (even though we don’t know yet if it’s just the end of the fantasia chapters or the actuarial arc)
    Cascas dreamscape sequence was beautiful. The mini flashback with guts. Everything with ricket, and it’s climax. Only part I wasn’t a fan of was the pirate stuff, but that was only like 20 chapters

    Wow this Elfhelm arc ends in a depressing atmosphere and a cliffhanger. If Berserk 371 started with what ends this episode, it would be a few panels about Guts' inner thoughts. Regarding Guts' current mental state, I have the following anticipation on how the Black Swordsman's Party will go on.I think the current mental state of Guts is parallel to Griffith's mental state after he had been rescued as a crippled man, both having their own dreams/purposes of life collapsed. Then, something bad may happen to Guts:
    1)As Guts is definitely in his lowest point right now, maybe the Belheit he is carrying would reappear and lure him to start the Eclipse to become apostle in order to regain enough power to confront Griffith, what is gonna happen will diverge into two directions:
    1.1) The Belheit may take advantage of Guts' self-loathing behaviour and saying words like "You can't protect Casca because you are incapable of doing what you love", making him blaming himself that he is the root cause of what happened right now. Then, he may open the Eclipse to sacrifice the comrades to become apostle regardless of what Roderick and Schierke were shouting outside, which will be the main conflict of the next chapter
    1.2)Guts still had the same inner conflict as 1.1), but this time Roderick and Schierke were able to reach him, telling him that how they were inspired by Guts and changed their own life forever due to Guts and now they would like to help him through the pain as well. In this way, Guts would for the first time show his vulnerable facade in front of his comrade, speak up and understand that he is not nothing without his sword. The journey until now has changed him as well, he still have his own nakamas. Even without his sword to hold on, he still has his nakamas by his side to trust and hold on, so that he doesn't need to take the burden and despair all alone(just like how Luffy encouraged Vivi to trust her nakamas). With the encouragement from teammates, Guts would be able to move on and get into the discussion on the team's future actions.
    2) The belheit does not appear but instead the Beast of Darkness spoke to him, luring him to give in to sorrow and let it take over his body. He may first feel like he is too useless and think that this is all his fault, making him be taken over by the armour with a breakdown of Guts and go Berserk. Then, the team would find the Berserk Guts and try to calm him down, with Schierke and Farnese this time pull him out of the despair with the words similar to 1.2), so that Guts can finally win the inner conflict and get his own character development and move on.
    All in all, I hope the next episode can show more inner monologues of the main characters, for example Schierke and Roderick's desperate for reaching out to Guts while remembering the journey with Guts. This can refer to how One Piece potrayed the close connection between Strawhats and Luffy by using inner monologues to express how the strawhats were desperate to reach out to Luffy just after they read the news that Ace was dead in front of Luffy, because they were once helped and inspired by Luffy and now they would like to repay the kindness to him, to give him a shoulder to cry on when he is devastated from Ace's death. Even though "power of friendship" thing is a shonen element, it would be great and reasonable to be demonstrated in this occasion, or if the manga team decided to turn it back to grim and dark tonality, it would still be OK. Wish for recovery of Guts

    Also, I respectfully disagree with adding the “silhouette of a horse leg” in the scene with Guts, bc it would’ve completely ruined what *exactly* was most important in that particular moment. Which was Guts failure and the toll it took on him. *Not* Skullknight. If he was shown to be there, we would’ve simply been wondering “why” Skullknight was there and what what’s he planning to say, than being focused on Guts

    Also, is there something that will happen if *GUTS* ambition is broken?? There’s so much emphasis of Griffiths dream and his ambitions, meanwhile..Guts is special in his own right and has shown determination similar to Griffith.
    I feel a massive shift would also happen if Guts were to finally, even for a moment, give up. One thing we know for a fact about Guts, is that he’s ONLY human. And humans, sometimes, have their faith or core shaken, but not all get back up.
    It’s only natural for Guts to feel like this is too much for him

      I think we can infer that he wanted Casca because the child is drawn to her. The child is the one whom Griffith shares a body with, so keeping hold of Casca thereby limits his vulnerability. I think Casca’s role will be that of a prisoner, but that’s just a guess.

      @@calebsolonas6085 It was a really though journey just to make Casca recover her mind. I think it would be weird to make Grifith play with her mind that easy.
      Also, the brand of sacrifice was part of the deal for Grifth to become a godhand member. I don´t think he has power to undo it, at least not without consequences.
      IMO the main point is that Grifith and Casca relationship is stuck between her being a sacrifice for Femto and her being the mother of the moonlight boy. That means he wouldnt kill her nor let her live. On the other hand, I don´t see Casca beeing able to do anything against him. I guess prisioner is most likely. However, while Casca is there she can somehow trigger some groups in Falconia to betray Grifith when the time comes.

      I hate that argument of “not canon”, its literally canon cause this is going off of miuras notes, manuscripts, and episode ideas. And if you bring up “the series ended at 364” BS you have no idea what berserk is nor do you care for it.

      Why are you here? If you don't want to see this iteration of Berserk you are free not to do it.

    can we stop this forced positivity shit lmao, berserk isn’t as god now. mori and gaga aren’t as good as miura. the only way this stuff is canon now is because they say it is, i’m basically reading it as fanfic. just be honest

      Berserk is art, berserk is not a man. Berserk is not miura
