I know a lot of you in the comments are fans of Berserk, or are at least talking about it. I know this anime doesn’t really have a lot to do with it, and I know I’m just kind of the meme guy who uploaded a video, but I’d like to use the bit of influence I have to say that the creator of Berserk, Kentaro Miura, passed away on the sixth of this month, as has been revealed around five hours ago. For those of us who loved him and his work; Rest In Peace. And thank you for the gifts you gave to the world.

[@A.PTheEvil]

I am completely devastated.. His work got me through so much of my life, and now he’s gone. Man for gods sake I wished these last three years have not been so brutal to us.. All I can say now, is I wish miura to rest in piece, and that his assistants may continue on his potential work in the near future.

[@Robert-hz9bj]

I like how Striga, despite winning, walks away from this realizing the task of holding the world is likely impossible. She had her day armor this time, but all it would take is one slip up, one oversight, and that would be the end of her. The end of her lover. The end of an empire. And when you live forever, the odds of eventually making a mistake become very high indeed...

[@simonnachreiner8380]

Carmella expected the world to roll over and die as soon as the army of Styria marched in. Striga saw the reality that while humans would be no match for a vampire they would fight for every fucking inch.

[@davidprince6877]

It's not just that she'd eventually lose. The reality of being at war forever instead of getting to live her unlife is high price to pay. It genuinely looked like they had a pretty good thing going before Carmilla got called by Dracula. Losing that to have an unstable empire was a serious downgrade.

[@korsekil]

@Bigdaddy Bigfoot Exactly this. Because she was just one vampire, as powerful a warrior as she was - which is why she needed an army. An army that could help her control the regions they had already conquered. But that task would be impossible if mere farmers could do this to their forces. Each region would immediately flip, and they would be running around like headless chickens to control them. The other solution would be Dracula's that would leave them starving. There was no way to win this.

[@gianlalwet647]

For all of Striga's boasting, her arrogance could very well be her downfall. And if that's not what kills her, attrition would be had she not realised what she was getting her and her lover into. Yes they were just mere farmers, but untrained militia are mere cannon fodder at best. What happens when they come into contact with a professional army the likes the Ottoman's field? What happens when the Vatican has a true enemy to rally those of the faith to form a crusade against the vampires grow in strength? Even presuming they manage to actually get Hector to work day and night to make night creatures for them, humans aren't dumb; they'll adapt and create tactics to circumvent Carmilla's ability to gather corpses to raise new troops. Just like how Sparta fell from their greatest heights due to the rigidness of their doctrine while the Athenian's gave more leeway in creativity for new tactics, humans will adapt and learn. The war could be bloody, but in the end, Carmilla is at risk of losing everything

[@clairestark9024]

I honestly don’t think they could do it justice. Being the studio they are I see them being unable to stop themselves from making changes to the overall story.

I know Striga is badass, but let’s applaud those farmers! They willingly went into battle, afraid not of death but of failing to protect their loved ones, and went on anyway! Even Striga is impressed, to the point where she calls off the invasion! Those farmers unknowingly saved so many lives doing so, and from the perspective of their families, the men died in battle against the vampires, but also sent them running! Utter legends who deserve a medal for each grave I say! 1:32 Look at this dude! He panics but he doesn’t quit- He fathers himself for his loved ones back home anyway! And he dies grunting no, not in dismay over his death, but at the thought of his family dying afterwards!

For more dumb it sounds, Vampires in their majority still people who got transformed, they arent absent of fear, they arent absent of being killed, normaly in a situation like this, with low numbers, a surprise attack, no leadership, they gonna be scared ;People oftem die for being scared inside the elevator who shuts down and the power come back during the time that the person is going out.

I want to see a fight between Striga in her day armor and Guts in his Berserker armor

[@siriosnight9869]

1 minute ago POGGGG

[@hexgrimoireetc9829]

I'd say it would be a pretty close match. Thing is, Striga doesn't seem to have the same kind of superspeed that Alucard, Cho, or Carmilla does judging by where they become a literal blur of movement. Had she the same speed as those three, I would say she could probably beat Guts considering agile combatants give Guts a hard time (ie Serpico, Rosine from the Valley of Lost Children, the goat headed psuedoapostle). Going by this scene though, she seems roughly equal to Guts in the Berserker armor speed. Plus if they were fighting in the day, a cut to her armor from the Dragonslayer would allow sunlight to burn her. It would definitely be a vicious fight tho.

[@michaelfontenot487]

I actually think Guts is the superior warrior, he's used to fighting opponents many times stronger than him. Not to mention the vast array of tools at his disposal, as well as the fact that if he manages to crack her armor in day time she'd die from the sun lol

It's still impressive how the humans almost got them.

If they attacked at high-noon, when the sun was at the highest point in the sky, when they'd have nowhere to take shelter in the shade, and also probably when most of the vampires would've been asleep, they probably could've won. They got the drop on them as it was, one arrow was enough to pierce the tent and almost kill both of them. It got Striga scared, something we've never seen anything else do.

[@ToAqui210]

If they kept the war going, soon the vampires would be fucked by the human nations. Ottoman janissaries and cannons, HRE professional soldiers and knights, Poland hussars and skirmishers, etc. Carmilla's territory is literally encircled by a fuckton of kingdoms. Issac only accelerated the process, stopping the war escalation to a massive point. Dracula only could took all he did due to the massive, almost industrial production of demons, and even with Hector Carmilla wouldn't be able to produce a massive army of them, instead relying on these pathetic excuses for vampires that any dumbass can easily defeat. And even Dracula I suspect wouldn't be able to win if the humans were a little bit competent, holy church, mages, knights, cannons, etc, he was able to threat only Wallachia and even then he couldn't really conquer the backwards kingdom.
