Berserk 372... 

Your limitless hate for Griffith infinitely increases after reading this chapter

Mori and team’s drawing of Griffith in that last panel is the best he’s looked in a long time, since Millennium Falcon arc. Miura would be proud.

This chapter felt nostalgic. The Gaga and Mori squad are really getting their feet wet and incorporating Muira-esque details like that haunting Griffith panel and that nasty cliffhanger. Its really feeling like Berserk fr and I couldn't be more happy

The day Griffith dies is gonna become a international holiday

It feels genuinely good to *finally* have a "Casca only" chapter since it's been so long, and also to give us more reason to hate griffith even further

Another thing to consider is that Griffith lacks control over himself when he turns into The Moonlight Boy. The Moonlight Boy always seems to go to Casca. Keeping Casca prisoner is a way to ensure that when he transforms into The Moonlight Boy, Griffith won't stray too far from Falconia.

i love love LOVED the studio’s choice of showing casca in a dress as the first indicator that something was wrong

This chapter was so damn good. Not much happened, but seeing Casca in action, the false paradise she finds herself trapped in, seeing Griffith's menacing presence haunting every inch of Falconia, the heartwrenching moments of distant romance, not to mention the art looks so much better and more like the old Berserk. The dialogue and writing also feels just as strong as it used to be. Really hyped for the new arc now.

Of course Berserk will never be the same without Miura but Mori and the team are doing a damn good job with these recent chapters. I loved this one too.

The opening page of this chapter is heartbreaking. If you look towards the bottom of the page you can see that Casca is already in the stages of forgetting Guts. We don't even see his face, just his side, back and then we see him slowly fading from her memory. Whatever Griffith is doing to Casca's mind must feel like agony.

I belive casca is in multiple states of mind at this point in the story. To me it seems like she is stuck between her original personality, her broken personality and her reborn personality. Despite gaining her memories back her mind is still struggling with the past trauma which is causing her to have these breakdowns

Poor fucking Casca, man. Berserk can't give us a break 😭

"Sparking your hatred towards Griffith-" Masked we are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay past 'sparking' at this point.

Griffith is really testing our patience in these last few chapters 🤬 I might even go as far as to say that he makes me want to go Berserk... Maybe Berserk was really us the whole time... 🤔

At last, Berserk is back 🔥 the art really improved with this chapter, and I hope we see Casca back in action real soon

Griffith is imprisoning Casca because she's his only weakness when he turns into the Moonlight boy. He's being strategic again, more than he actually cares about Casca and Guts. At least I think so! Beautiful chapter.

Casca breaking out of her sedated stance and trying to escape was the highlight of the chapter for me. It was so cool to see her use her swordsmanship on that soldier and take his arm off. Also, its a interesting how Griffith only says “the east” and doesn’t elaborate at the end of the chapter, it really adds to the mystery of his overall aims.

My man Zodd looks like he gonna pull a Prince Zuko

Casca is super beautiful in this art. I wish she kept the long hair but the art on her face is so smooth and the lines are drawn perfectly. Art has improved big time from few chapters ago.

Casca and Guts reunion is going to hit different. I wouldn't be surprised if I'll get quite emotional or cry.

A beautiful crimson bird.... sleeps in a gilded cage. A great white hawk watches her...from his perch. His eyes sharp...and unblinking. His heart cold...and unfeeling.

I saw casca and Griffith in the same thumbnail and knew something gonna be up 💀

7:00 if a war arc happens the series will be over in 50 years

Interesting that Casca on Elfhelm got her memories back and her consciousness. Now in Falconia she is being drugged to forget again. Interesting parallel.

she sliced off his left arm huh? At a similar spot that Guts' arm was cut at. That whole gang up on her felt like a mini mock-eclipse. She was surrounded and targeted by the hordes of soldiers that outgunned her. My predicitions: Irvine is respondibl for sedating her via some music thing. Ties into his hunting theme and subduing a flighty prey. Zodd will be integral to Griffith's downfall. He seems to not like this whole current operation. I really hope Casca's red theme is her Phoenix arc of rising up and shedding her past self. Guts will be doing similar on his own as well. I also cant wait to see RIckert and the Bakiraka go to war with the Apostle generals!

I think the team has finally found their stride. This chapter looked phenomenal and had some quality content. I hope they keep it up going forward

So is Griffith controlling her mind, or clouding her memories? That’s what seems to be happening because as soon as she remembers she starts to fight.

I like how Caska nearly took on a whole castle guard detachment all by herself. She's amazing.

I think that Griffith wants Guts back as a puppet. He is trying to make him suffer in order to force him to activate the Behelit and become an Apostle. As an Apostle, Guts would be forced to obey Griffith orders. This could be an explanation for Zodd behaviour. He is not happy of Griffith plan of introducing Guts into his team again, because he wants to fight him. And this would explain also why Casca wants to rejoin Guts (to avoid his downfall).

The 4 handmaiden imo are the other 4 God Hand members in disguise. They were also present when Rickert slapped Griffith and back in the day they were very loudly talking about Griffith's exploits back when Julius was still alive so that he could get enraged and attempt to assassinate Griffith, thereby setting various events in motion.

For Casca “being sedated” I think her closing her eyes, was just the only way she could “Fight”. By refusing to see everything, to enjoy it as she knows what it cost to be built. That she was refusing to buy into it, even for a second. Indeed it’s a reality that many people enjoy. What other way can a human combat a god? Which is an exceptionally beautiful thing, considering Gut’s current state.

I feel like she's getting visions of the state of mind that guts is in when for the first time in his life he has truly given up. And I think willpower is what keeps guts from falling into darkness. And I never thought of casca being distant from guts as her hating him but rather that just looking at guts reminded her of every horrific moment of eclipse. Because technically for her, almost no time has passed. But I think that her seeing the vision of potentially losing guts forever might be the catalyst for her to overcome her trauma and in a poetic sense, we might see casca being the one to save guts from his despair this time instead of vice versa. It will also be great to avoid her character becoming a damsel in distress when she used to be such a formidable warrior.

The art is so beautiful, I love that they’ve done their best to imitate Miura’s genius. Also I see Zodd as a kneelers since day 1 when he lost his horn. I’ve always seen his downfall being Casca and Gut’s baby being a part of him. Would be Justice for his cruel violation of Casca to be his downfall.

Berserk fans be like:i hate this chapter. Depression, pain and hate towards Griffith is higher than usual. 10/10 chapter.

I guess you can say Casca went berserk in this chapter.

This episode was a big improvement over the last few. Especially the art leveled up a lot. I hope they keep taking their time if it means we get better quality like that.

Bro that pannel with zodd turning his back to griffith and the others kneeing down goes hard for no reason

Casca's dress reminds me of princess dusk of oolacile

I like how there is very little dialouge, insead relying on visual storytelling to present Casca's state of mind. Excellent job by the team.

is it just me, or the team FINALLY managed to fully adapt Miura's style, this chapter looked exceptionally good, Zodd looked a little bit off, but other than that, every single character design was on point

What a beautiful chapter also. The team has come so far. I had to stop and appreciate how the details were done. The team used the hiatus very well.

The whole thing felt like a dream, which suited it perfectly. New team is nailing it

I find it telling just how many armoured soldiers of the Neo-Band of the Hawk were dispatched to restrain/recapture Casca--in a weakened state and wearing just a gown at that. Clearly Griffith hasn't forgotten her combat abilities.

Honestly, this was just such a good chapter.. i can't express how happy i am that mori-sensei is continuing this series. Miura would be so proud, the chapter looks amazing.

" HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT !!! " He can't keep getting away with it ... 😭😭😭

8:10 when you said “a cage is still a cage no matter how pretty it looks on the inside.” I felt that.

That devious look and smirk on Griffith's face was literally spot on

Very happy to see Casca have some more agency. It sucks that its taken so long to get her personality sort of restored although I understand its really not something that could be done with the snap of a finger. Its good that Casca can now emote and voice her own experiences considering it was HER that was raped by Griffith. She's not a case of fridging. Her trauma shouldn't be a prop to exist as motivation for guts alone. I very much hope to see her play a central role in the climax of this epic and the downfall of Griffith. I think for me the overall theme of Miura's work here is that there is healing after trauma. That life is possible and we must save each other. And that's why I think Griffith is the ultimate evil in an antagonist. He directly poisons and embodies that which brings guts and casca together literally and symbolically as their child.

I think that being separated from Guts and isolated from the group will be what Casca needs to grow her character and resolve her feelings about Griffith and deepen her loyalty to Guts and seek to reunite with him instead of freak out when she sees him But Guts is gonna go through it more than ever before because Griffith stole Casca once again and he feels powerless to stop Griffith; he might give into the wolf since he’s being driven to the brink

You don’t know how good it felt to click this video! Been so long

Casca is definitely a fighter that’s for sure. As much as griffith tries to suppress her memories, she gain them back every time. Can’t wait to see griffith die, one day 💯

The art is just getting better and better

Solid chapter, interested to see where it goes next. Only a matter of time until both Rickert and Guts' group reunite

Rakshas is still missing. He's either dead or following Rickert and his gang

I haven’t seen anyone say this but I think Casca is swinging between having her memories and not having her memories because she is somewhat going back to being Elaine. She is not as incoherent as she was post eclipse but her new trauma might be pushing her back into that state every so often.

I honestly hope Casca finds a way back to where she was, to where her friends are. I know Berserk's world and story is always miserable and nothing ever goes right.. I just hope Miura planned something good because my fucking god we need it.

THIS ONE was drawed by kentaro miura I am sure... well, he would be proud

Fav chapter since the author takeovers. This feels exactly like the direction berserk should go it. It’s NOT supposed to be easy or fair. It’s supposed to suck, it’s supposed to suffer, it’s supposed to make it challenging. What I love about berserk is that it holds no punches, just like life. It makes the light at the end of the tunnel all the more rewarding to get to.

What I really like about this chapter (and the other chapters made by Mori and the Gaga team) is the lack of dialogue. Idk how to explain it well, but it seems to me to be intentional, as a sign of respect to Miura. Mori knows the overall story, Miura's assistants can replicate his artstyle (and they are getting better each chapters) but the dialogues is the thing they can't do with certainty. So, maybe, they use the art and pannelling to tell the story instead. Well, it's only the impression I have, maybe I'm wrong.

I really wish there was more dialogue. It feels like that has been the style of late. Hardly any dialog since Miura passing. When I read this chapter, it felt like Casca was doing this all in her head, I was kind of confused when she attacked the guards she was struggling to resist in her mind.

I think Zodd wasn't kneeling because he's staying behind in falconia. And the other 3 are going with Griffith "east". Zodd is staying behind just Incase you know who shows up to try to get to casca.. Guts..

Berserk series still going strong… But not for guts 😔

Griffith has had multiple opportunities to kill Guts. Including when he spirited Casca away from Elfhelm. One has to wonder what his reason is for not killing him, and instead breaking his spirit. Does Griffith need Guts to reach despair for some reason? I don’t think it could be for Guts to activate a Behelit, because Guts is branded.

Thank you. That was very moving.

I think all the shit with Casca this chapter was her in the dream. All but two panels, her in the chair in that empty room, and her in that bed. I think the flight Irvine mentioned was her struggling and resisting the dream that we saw

I think this chapter marks a significant turning point in the art. That illustration of Griffith gave me GA vibes but if feels like the artists put their stamp on not only Griffith but the other characters as well. They seem to be getting more comfortable with Miura’s character models.

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEOOOOO

Now that we know Casca wants Guts, it's that much more heartbreaking. Makes you wonder: Does Griffith want Casca because she's valuable to him or does he want Casca because she's valuable to Guts?

I swear I want Guts to kill Griffith in the worst way possible.

I really hoped that they were going to announce a chapter every two months instead of one, cause the decrease of art quality in the chapters from the fall were posted monthly as well

I think Zodd and Griffith vs. Guts and Casca would be great. I think I would be really cool if Cacsa gets the final blow on Griffiths head and that Guts kills all the apostles.

So my take on things is that zodd will manipulate things to make it so Charlotte will find casca and befriend her again which will allow her to find the prostitutes again who will help her escape or deal with the traumas properly.

Griffin’s expression just getting more evil after the last Miura chapter. I love Casca drawing in this chapter or the new team drawing in general, they just keep getting better. Casca cut off the man is brutal (poor guy), something i missed from Berserk. They definitely put some spells on her to make her subdue so she couldn’t escape. Griffin couldnt outright lock Casca up in the deepest dungeon, it will hurt his image so put her under spell is a smart choice. Maybe we will see Rickert next chapter because Griffin will go conquer east, maybe.

I think there's a good chance we'll be seeing what Rickard is up to in the next chapter

I think that Griffith its going after the Bakiraka and Rickert from now on. I think they are hiding somewhere over on the east right now. Can y'all imagine that battle?

Casca’s current predicament reminds me of Theresia. I wonder if she’ll play a role too.

Thinking ahead but the final chapter of all Berserk, Guts is at his most brutal form with Griffith. He kills the sadistic warrior without hesitation and Casca is left petrified by Kentaro Miura’s rage filled hero she cannot bare look at Guts. Not even their love for each other will be able to prevent the visceral blood bath.

the outro of ur video is so unique and pretty i love it

Holy shit casca isnt having a meltdown thinking or seeing guts because last time she did the memories of the eclipse started to flood her mind

Will I offend anyone if I wanted Guts to force Griffith to watch as his dream of Empire burns in front of him after this chapter?

the art is getting so much better

The trolling is intense. At this point is just hilarious. Just cut the wait. Go for it. Grifith vs Guts. Bring it.

I know this is probably not going to happen, but I think Guts shouldn't be the one to kill Griffith, it should be Casca. I feel like it would serve as a nice character development, as Casca head-on confronts her past and comes to terms with it and kills Griffith.

I wonder if there might be an arc similar to the farm arc from vagabond or the slave arc from Vinland saga but shorter in which Guts comes to terms with all that has happened and readies himself for what might be the final arc in the series, being a raid of sorts on Falconia, another confrontation with the god hand and potentially the reintroduction of the embodiment of evil

“The East”could be Griffith implying they’re going to conquer the Kushan, which may establish an alliance between Guts’ and Silat’s teams, in facing off against the apostles.

So far I haven't complained about the dialogue situation because I understand that the crew wants to interfere as little as possible with Miura's work, and I can respect that. However, after the conclusion of the Elf Island Chapter, how long is the series gonna run for? can we have 50+ or 100+ chapters with this lacking amount of dialogue? I personally would be okay with the crew taking the series into their own direction, filling the gaps the way they see fit, yes it would basically be sort of a "fanfiction", but to be honest it already is, even if you dont make new dialogue you are already tampering with the story in terms of art style and how you use visuals to tell the story, which no matter how close you know an artist, you can't replicate that.

Now we gotta remember guys we still don’t know what the god hand’s plan is .. Miura’s hint was “void” they haven’t included any of the other godhand and void is presumed to be the leader .. we’re in for a real treat for the final arc

every new chapter just takes a piece of my soul everytime i finish reading them

Casca looks like Isabeau so much in this chapter. A trapped hawk, away from her wolf.

5:39 - Sparking our hatred towards Griffith? Pretty sure that hatred sparked a long time ago and grew into a multiverse-wide wildfire by now.

Haven’t read this chapter. Chiming in before I do. Will get back to you with my thoughts

so many years a was scared that we ld take the ntr way with casca...thnk god we got that cleared up!when i saw that she "pushed away" the eclipse memories i was scared that she would blocked that part off and her admiration for griffith would be like it was before all the events.

You and real life Ryan are the main reasons us fans are keeping up with these new chapters you guys are amazing thank you for doing these videos

I love this chapter focus on casca

caged bird similar to themes with puck and the count’s daughter in the black swordsman arc

They should flesh out the chapters sticking with what miura wanted is the way to go but you also have to add things to his points to get it all to blend well together

4:51 just so it's clear the one not kneeling is approaching Griffith and we see him take a knee in the next panel great video btw always love your berserk videos

all of that is a dream she didn't wake up at all , if you focus on the maid's faces look"s familiar and the kids too and the army pump up suddenly and the soldier arm cut it without blood you dont see that wierd ? and guts the only one wiped out from her dream its like griffith want casca to forget guts or turn him the evil one in her memory .

Berserk is a dark fantasy manga series created by Kentaro Miura that has been serialized since 1989. The story is set in a medieval-inspired world and follows the adventures of Guts, a skilled warrior with a tragic past, as he seeks revenge against his former friend and mentor, Griffith.

Guts was raised by mercenaries and learned how to fight at a young age. He eventually became a member of the Band of the Hawk, a group of mercenaries led by Griffith. However, after Griffith sacrifices his comrades to become a demonic entity known as Femto, Guts leaves the group and sets out on a quest for revenge. The story of Berserk is divided into several arcs, each of which explores different aspects of the series' lore. The first arc, the Golden Age arc, focuses on Guts' time with the Band of the Hawk and the events that led up to the Eclipse, where Griffith sacrifices his comrades to become a demon.

The lore of Berserk is complex and multifaceted, with several different mythologies and belief systems at play. The series draws heavily from medieval European history and mythology, as well as Japanese folklore and religion. The world of Berserk is also heavily influenced by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, with several characters and creatures inspired by his stories. One of the key themes of Berserk is the struggle between fate and free will. The series explores how the actions of the characters are influenced by their past and their destiny, and how they must fight against the forces of fate in order to create their own future.

It was so good. It felt a little closer to Miura. They're getting better.
