[@hilotakenaka]

It’s interesting to note how they wrote it so you wouldn’t know what faction of Kushans were on the ship On one hand, Rickert trying to get Guts and co would make sense, especially since they’re doing their best not to hurt anyone, but it’d also make sense for it to be the remnants of the navy since they aren’t dressed like other Bakiraka we’ve seen Maybe it’s a combo of the two and it consists of loyalists to Daiba

[@johnnyboy2537]

I'd probably put my bet on them just being pirates there to be jobbers for the beast. This is a world with slavers so they're probably just taking them for that reason.

[@hieioni3354]

I hope these Kushan are under Daiba's command, and Rickert, Daiba and Silat are with them.

[@spiderlily7058]

Given Guts' mental state, I'd like to see this as an opportunity for old Puck to come back, the one that helped humanize him. Puck's seen Guts at his absolute worst. He may not be able to do much, but there has to be SOMETHING. Plus, I'm with Loli. I miss Black Swordsman - Lost Children Puck.

[@DeathofInk]

Considering how so far he's been drawn in his regular appearance over that comic relief chestnut look he's had for several years now ever since the group started to grow, I think that might be plausible.

[@hieioni3354]

Yeah, I hope old Puck will stay by Guts's side and help him regain confidence somehow.

Honestly, if the next chapter is just Guts going Berserk (heh) On the kushans after the beast of darkness takes over, that would be interesting. And now the party has to come up with a way to get Guts back to his usual self or get the fuck out of the ship. Idk, either way, I'm excited for the next chapter. I just want more berk.

[@Hammer56Time]

I think it would be kind of interesting if the armor didn't even take over, we see old fashioned Lost Children Guts just absolutely consumed by bloodlust and rage to a point he is hardly even aware of his surroundings with the Beast whispering in his ear but not taken over by the armor. The party knows he is a completely different level of warrior capable of feats no other human could ever hope to match in battle but this would finally show the party just how dangerous Guts really is when his mental state is deteriorated like this because aside from some glimpses by Serpico and Farnese, nobody but Puck has ever seen that side of Guts and the absolute world ending wrath he is capable of even without the armor taking control of his mind. Lost Children era Guts when he gets all twitchy and psychotic during a fight like with Rosine is not a man you want around a tightly enclosed space where injured people and children are.

[@Sammysapphira]

I think it's going to be more about how Guts' allies defend and protect him. Guts is a little bit egotistical in thinking that he is the only one that can protect his loved ones. It would be very poetic for everybody to save guts, and for the journey ahead to be lead mostly by the side cast.

Well, now that he has reached the current chapters he will repeat himself a lot, so he would have to either cut those videos or make a new script, which I think is the better option since there will be call backs to important things that don't seem important right now, so it wouldn't be as insightful as a new script with the hindsight of what should be talked about

[@Kweemz]

While I was rereading Berserk, it always seemed weird when Schierke got a lot of bad juju from the Dragonslayer. Like how she could tell the beast of darkness was almost an extension of the dragonslayer due to killing so many demons. Then with 373, it looked like The Beast has freed itself the sword. Freaked me when I first thought about it.

[@MrFabFighter]

Same here, dude. I'm not convinced that The Beast of Darkness isn't just the evil energy FROM the sword. If Guts were ever parted from the Dragon Slayer for and extended period of time, then maybe it's influence would weaken or go away altogether. I know his sword doesn't have a demon in it, but it's definitely cursed by this point. It never started out as a magic weapon.

[@Burns_RED]

I took the Kushans as actively looking for Guts. They seem to be nonviolently making their way through everyone else to find someone, then they do at the end.

[@itsmeanunoriginaljoke431]

Yeah, every other time (without Silat) they would just kill everybody.

[@vitorschein8073]

I really like this idea, though it is hard to justify, as far as I know Rickert has no idea where exactly Guts went to, maybe just that it is an island on the west, with that information them finding Guts would be a stretch, and with how thight Berserk story is( aside from bungie jumping with normal rope, worst decision) I don't think that would be all of it, there has to be something more to it to justify it, probably

The more I see Guts falling further into despair, and the more the beast pushes him to give up his humanity for power, I worry more and more about the behelit he's been carrying with him...

[@ThelronFjord]

I thought Guts couldn't use the behelit because he was already branded?

[@andrewkln1486]

That would be awkward because if he wants to make a sacrifice he has to consult the godhand which includes Griffith. It will turn into a comedy if this happens.

[@MrSnudger]

Maybe Guts is the real Godhand protegee and Griffith pushing him further to the dark side is just his training?

[@halcionjoy7]

Guts already knows that the behelit won't give him the power to beat Griffith. We saw that with the Kushan emperor. He can't beat the God hand with power bestowed by them.

​@@69for5dollah well yeah but Rickert is just built different. Not anyone can be as chad as him.

[@ScottE-2]

Guts, the man throughout this entire story needs help. There are so few people left on the planet who can help him outside of those that decided to stick with him through the journey. I could not imagine him getting far without them. But now in the state he is in, physically and mentally he is shutting down on all cylinders. The blade that brought him comfort and strength now rendered too heavy to lift because of Griffith fully defeating his body and mind, maybe even his soul. But there's something interesting about the mention of the Brand this chapter. I decided to read the chapter again and a thought occurred to me. The reason why Rickert was able to hit Griffith was because he unlike Guts and Casca did not receive the brand. Makes me think what they are going to do next is to have Rickert and co. somehow remove the brand on Guts or at least reduce its effects to permit him being able to land a blow on Griffith. Makes me think the reason it was also easy to mentally entrap Casca was because of her brand. Man... this manga really takes a lot of time and hindsight to put together the absolutely impressive display of storytelling. Makes me wonder if they will explore the history of the brand further and if there still exist people who have somehow exorcised it.

[@Jinrai_]

That is such a good observation!

[@hieioni3354]

The only thing Daiba can do now for Guts is to weaken the brand's effects and find out a way to use the Berserker Armor effectively.

[@ScottE-2]

@@hieioni3354 I'm guessing Daiba may be able to help Guts understand both the sword and assist in easing the effects of the weight elementals. I just hope Farnese and Shrieke can do something to help get him out of his slump. Probably Rickert could help snap Guts out of that state of depression. Reminding him there is still a chance to save Casca and defeat Griffith. All before the Godhand eats away the last hope of humanity.

[@hieioni3354]

@@ScottE-2 Yep. And Daiba may be able to help Guts understand the nature of the Beast of Darkness too. As for Farnese, she stayed back in the material realm to watch over Schierke's body so Schierke has to rein in the Beast of Darkness this time. Also, yeah, I hope Rickert will give Guts a good speech about hope and all that so Guts can stay focused on rescuing Casca.

[@spacewolfblackmane19]

You know it might have been just a throw away line, but I think the Dragon Slayer being CURSED is far more significant than we might realize. The Beast of Darkness might not be physical, but i more and more get the feeling it is still none the less a florigen entity within Gut's mind. Particularly with the way Goto seemed to refer to it, and his list words before beginning to work on it. I'm not say it was cursed to begin with but something tells me that it isn't nearly a benign as we might have first thought.

[@panamajack5972]

Shit if magic is based on will and belief, then the man with the most unbreakable will has the highest potential

[@kikrinman1450]

I have the theory that Godot unknowingly willed the Beast of Darkness into existence when he created the Dragonslayer, because it was created out of frustration and malice. It's always been attached to the sword, but but only awakened the way it did because Guts began using it. This would tie in with the idea that we don't know everything about Godot, and his disappearing into the mountains may have had more to do with the Beast of Darkness than we know

[@Wreck17Mitch]

@@kikrinman1450I raise your theory with my own: The Beast of Darkness didn’t start appearing until after Guts and Puck took the Slug Count’s Behelit, and then Lost Children happened. I draw the parallel to when Griffith hallucinated his idealized self just before sacrificing the Band of The Hawk

I mean, Gut's sword is basically an anti demon sword purely based on Gut's innate hate and desire to kill demons infusing it.

[@moviemaker2011z]

so kinda like angry jack from season five of samurai jack? i say that because in the final season he was dealing with an alternate state of mind who was constantly lashing out and attempting to make jack essentially go nuts. however jack learns that he needs to balance his inner thoughts and life in order to be worthy again of using his magical sword. are we now saying that essentially with some consideration that guts very well just needs to learn to accept and work with his depression and anger in order to become more powerful?

[@alialmuhanna4938]

@@moviemaker2011z Pretty much, yes; although, the closest thing to a “power up” Guts got was the Berserker Armor, which only made him not care about the pain of battle, rather than increasing his strength, and therefore it drains him. So “becoming more powerful” in this story will be different from, say, going Super Saiyan. Yamcha pose notwithstanding.

[@moviemaker2011z]

@@alialmuhanna4938 agreed, i think guts learning something about himself or learning to deal with the anger within his mind and body would be what it takes to destroy the godhand if not just griffith. i mean magic is fine and dandy but guts has never needed it before, the only "magic" he has ever used was healing powder from puck and such, or the berserker armor which is more of a curse than anything. so for him to gain a magical buff would be very much against the plot of the entire series. it was always stated by the original creator that guts would have a happy ending and that no ending would feel right without one due to all the suffering that everyone guts especially has faced. so we know that in the end guts WILL win but how so is going to be the hard to answer question. just having faith in yourself doesnt do jack shit in a world where faith in anything is only good for seeing magical creatures both good and bad or even for the denial of being able to see those things. so guts' buff up will be from something within himself i think but what he does is hard to say for now. maybe he will figure out that he alone cannot beat griffith and that he does need the help of all his friends to pull it off, because as we all know guts is doing all the work in terms of trying to fight the godhand, the rest of the crew are only there for the purpose of defending casca who is now gone. so maybe they will all put 100% of their strength into her rescue that it ends up fucking over the godhand.

So is the Behelit on the ship? Maybe the Beast of darkness wants Guts to be in a mental breakdown, so that using the Behelit will be more... easier. But not for Guts to use it per se, but to fuse the Behelit onto the Berserker armor, kinda like Skull Knight's sword being fused with Behelits. Guts goes around killing Apostles, getting more Behelits, making the Berserker armor stronger and the Beast of Darkness having a greater influence on Guts, while Guts remains human, basically trapped in the armor. Probably won't happen, but it was an interesting thought.

[@darktooth347]

Damn that's a nice boat.

[@hxntai0000]

what an interesting chapter actually. I'm really curious if Guts will be able to fight the intruders.

[@DeathofInk]

Something that occurred to me, Femto can manipulate spirits and has used this ability to conjure up those of the dead so they can say goodbye to their loved ones (perfect tactic to make himself look so heroic and worshipable to his sheep). And Schierke is currently astral projecting herself, which is basically sending her spirit out of her body, so she can follow Casca's trail to Falconia in order to find her. So if she is successful in reaching there and finding Casca in the castle...what would happen if Femto found her? Would he take her spirit captive or worse? If that happened, would that mean the party would lose Schierke like they lost Casca too?? Cause if Guts fully surrenders to the Berserk armor now and Schierke gets her soul grabbed by the Fifth Angel himself, she won't be around to help snap Guts out of it before the armor drains him dry of all his blood and leaves him in a state probably worse than that of a certain skeleton themed Knight. This is feeling like the true rock bottom moment of the story and it's going to get a bit darker before they can turn it around again, which feels like a build-up to the end. No update in June, but hopefully we'll get a chapter this month if all goes well.

He goes through some psychological, philosophical major archetypal, alchemical even, transformations. The Kushan overpower somehow the rest of the team and kidnap them and take them to their land, maybe they meet up with Rickert and Silat on accident. Maybe theres a library of Alexandria type place there and Schierke learns the history of the fallen kingdom, and maybe we learn the godhand origins. The Beast of Darkness, NOT GUTS roams the lands unconsciously as a demonic scourge until one day finally he reaches Falconia but is stopped in his tracks by some kind of magic, like those crystals. Maybe the crew finds out the secrets of the behelit, some Arcane hidden Magick. Maybe the Outcast Kushan, maybe theres a Dragon hunter army, and the Witches of Elfheim ride on Falconia- That's all I got. Lol

[@dirkdiggler6513]

Maybe Theresia is the leader of the Dragon Hunter Army. Assuming there is one. Oh Miura. I know he had so much in store for us, I hope he told his friends and staff, left notes and illustration guides.

I would honestly like if Guts' behelit somehow activated, but rejecting the offer with no hesitation when realizing what would be sacrificed, just as the count once did. Although it doesn't seem like it's going this way in the slightest.

Hope your recovery goes well, Loli boy. Thanks for the video.

No matter what, even after it's arc ended, we cannot escape the boat.

Anyone would puke from seeing a naked Griffith riding their sword... Nasty villain!

[@SaintlyScar]

Brother you return! Im very interested to see your take on whats going on with our boy

[@January-h1u]

I remember literally saying ‘AW COME ON’ when the Kushin’s arrived. Even under new hands, the manga just CANT give Guts a break

[@hieioni3354]

Kushan* . And I think those Kushan are under Daiba's command.

[@Burns_RED]

Made my day!

[@masterdef2209]

I think Casca was kidnapped so that the moonlight boy doesn't go into the open world and risk dying, also I'm not going to lie but I like the seriousness of the manga.

[@hieioni3354]

No, Griffith has Casca kidnapped to prevent the Moonlight Boy from going to Guts every single time.

As it comes to my understanding, the Beast of Darkness is an amalgamation of Guts’ inner pain and traumas. Meaning, it’s not a demon, or even an entity, more so a “personality” that lives inside Guts’ mind. With that being the case, and seeing how the Beast has tried to “take over” Guts several times throughout the manga, it’s not out of the question that Guts suffers from dissociative identity disorder (or schizophrenia to some degree), a least some form of it. One can argue the case due to DID being associated with extreme childhood abuse (mainly sexual abuse in a lot of cases), which we all know Guts suffered a lot at the hands of Gambino and Donovan. After watching Mr. Robot, which is another series focused on trauma, is it possible for Guts and the Beast to come to an agreement of sorts? Instead of trying to control one or the other, they both work to protect each other, and (in the grand narrative) save Casca from Griffith. The Beast has been shown, least in the series, to come out whenever Guts is in combat (or “danger”), often melding with the berserker armor too. Also, given the panel of ch.199 pg. 3, the reader clearly sees the Beast is always “following”, or around Guts. I’m curious if this potential thread will be explored in later chapters. Understandably, this is just a thought I had and pretty sure I’m not the first or only one to have it.

[@zollof6699]

I'm kinda horrified to see what happens next. Something crazy is about to happen with Guts and it could go either way at this point.

[@lil_whatever]

Might be random but have you ever wondered about gut's relation with elf's? I reread the eclipse and that "relation" seems like one of the main factors for saving him and casca that's not all even when he was young he was saved by an elf skull night later on mentioned that it's rare for elf's to show themselves to anyone and saying quote "perhaps you have some relation to the elf's" is that an old talked about theory or am I the only one noticing it the elf's have been in his life far too long to not play a key role in the upcoming arc gut's could just turn out to be a descendant of "peekaf" the boy who was mentioned in the lost children/conviction arc saved by elf's and becoming something of similar nature while maintaining his humanity at the same time. It might be a dumb take but it really seems to me like miura was cooking something with that so it would be natural or it would make sense why guts always seems to attract them

[@dirkdiggler6513]

Not bad. This is what I think could be. Zodd is Guts father. He Sacrificed SOMETHING. He and guts have pointy ears. The precipice hero figure in archetypal stories is always half "bad" or "fool". Guts mother, maybe a witch of some kind. It's so strange the way they were all strung up like that, either those are tatters or robes. It would explain Guts superhuman strength. Or do you one better Gaiseric was just a human stud who sacrificed his kingdom, became the skull knight to bond his soul to armor, forgot his past and Zodd was born the "Moonlight child" to Gaiseric and the Faerie Queen. So was HALF. Which would make him a Nephilim, Giant, renound warrior. Maybe that was the Taboo they had to pay for. For some reason Zodd became corrupted, but before that had Guts with a witch. Maybe someone was tracking the bloodline, and still sought to make Gaiserics bloodline suffer by killing Guts mother and whoever else. Maybe they didn't know she was pregnant, and Guts was born premature and frail, but his heredity made sure he was strong.

@@dirkdiggler6513 thx I'm not sure if this is sarcasm tho since I almost got a seizure trying to comprehend/read the second or last theories you mentioned there but I'll go ahead and say blood connections and emotion itself play a huge role in Berserk's lore everything will unfold in the upcoming arc I guess
