This piece really does fit the Lost Children Arc, an arc that I believe Miura made about the darkest days of his own life. I think it's appropriately bitter sweet considering his recent death. I wish he could've known how deeply his art inspired and even helped me. RIP Kentaro Miura.

He was slowly dying of hypothermia from the harsh winter cold. The only person who even had the inkling of caring was the nun from the church who saw him passing on those church steps... and in his palm he held some red jewel seed thing.

Listening to this during the Lost Children chapter hits different

[@thedude3065]

“Once upon a time, there lived in a small town a pointy-eared red-eyed boy named Peekaf. His parents were kind and loving, but since the boy had those eyes and ears he was always tormented by the other children in town. ‘Red Eye Peekaf’, they called him, ‘Pointy-Ear Peekaf.’ He convinced himself: ‘This is not my real home. These people are not my real parents…’ Because Peekaf’s father and his mother…no, of all the people in the town, lacked red eyes, or pointy ears. So one night, he slipped out of the house, searching for his real family for his real home. Eventually, he came to a forest where the pixies lived, who had said they had no need of adults. And Peekaf found them there. They had red eyes and pointy ears, they looked just like Peekaf. But seeing Peekaf’s delight, they told him: ‘are you one of us? No, not quite… you have no wings to ride upon the wind.’ Peekaf was confused, so they told him more: ‘A long time ago, a human couple whose baby was on the verge of death, came to us.’ ‘Please save this child’s life somehow,’ the couple begged, holding the baby. The pixies listened to the request and used their magic on the baby. The baby’s life was saved, but half of it had been replaced, his appearance now inhuman, his eyes red, and his ears pointy. The couple shed tears of joy in spite of that, knowing their child was alive. When Peekaf had heard this tale, he ran from them in haste. Back the way he came he ran, crying, but when Peekaf reached his house he found he was too late. Though he had been in the forest for what felt like moments, a century had passed outside of it. On top of a hill in between the village and forest, Peekaf, who had no one, cried and cried... until his red eyes were redder still.”

(Niko's Story) There is an orphan boy named Niko and there was his dog. He was a simple-minded boy but nice and kind. He wouldn't hurt anybody. He was pure. He was ostracized and excluded by the other children. He got thrown stones at him and beaten with sticks by the other children but after all of the bullying, he still was a happy little boy and carried on. He was happy that he was given the opportunity to live life. He went to the church and a nun took care of him, finally someone he can go to for comfort and someone to take care of him. When the cold and harsh winter come, the crops failed and hunger sweeps the village. Niko was cold and hungry. No one would give him food. With all of his power and might, he went to the church to seek refuge and see the nun so she can take care of him and feed him. The Doors are accidentally locked and he can't go inside the church. With no place to go and hunger and the cold calming his life, he died a slow and painful death in the snow, a mix of hypothermia and starvation. He fell face first and his front body hit the snowy ground but he had something in the palm of his hand, a red stone object with eyes, a nose, and mouth.

@CrabTastingMan The nun took in the boy (Niko) and looked after him, since he was an orphan. The boy was bullied by the other children of the village. In the end, he died of starvation, and sacrificed his pet dog to the God Hand to survive. The nun was infected all along, but unlike the rest of the Mandragoran, she can actually hide it from any "outsiders". She attempted to reach a peaceful resolution, but Guts wanted a sample of Niko's heart, so that he he could save his Casca (girlfriend).

[@KingCam20]

@@nikhilgaikwad4553 Yeah, I recently got into Berserk and I started with the 1997 anime. After finishing it I decided to just pick up the manga right where it left off and was a bit confused the first time I saw the Skull Knight. I pretty quickly got the gist of who he is though since it seems like his introduction is only shortly before the Eclipse, and seeing the scene of Guts meeting him definitely filled in some blanks. The funny thing about Puck though is that his first scene in the Lost Children's Arc is actually a pretty good introduction to him (so much so, that I thought it actually was his first appearance when I first read it). He's the kind of character where you can basically just look at him and know what he's all about. If you ask me, I'm guessing the reason they don't show up in the anime is because they might not have even been planning a second season. Now I have no definitive proof of this, and in fact I don't think anyone really knows if OLM ever intended to continue the '97 show or not. But if they weren't ever planning on having a second season, then it stands to reason that some of the things they would cut would be the characters that don't really become important until after the end of the Golden Age Arc. Things always need to be cut for time of course, so it would make sense that those'd be the first to go. I'm not sure I agree with the Skull Knight being cut though, because his lack of an appearance certainly contributes to the anime having what feels like a "non-ending". This is all my speculation though, so take it with a grain of salt.

[@nikhilgaikwad4553]

@@KingCam20 Wow you got a great explanation there, kinda agree with you at some aspects. First of all If you are starting Berserk pls never start with the anime any manga reader would suggest you that coz if you watch the anime and then read it ,Nahhh It just leaves countless things out basically every Traumatic scene and yes pls listen to *Berserk soundtracks* while reading the manga there's a one hour long KZbin video which has collection of Songs from Berserk. It sets the right mood I highly recommend. Susumu hirasawa is a legend who created that music. Now We have to think abt the fact that it was 1997 damn long time. If we are talking abt wyald being cut then it's good at some point considering the things he did (I hope you know where iam getting at) But skull knight is a major supporting character, he's the only reason Guts and casca were saved in the Eclipse, fighting with zodd and many things. Puck on the other hand is a small light in the darkness. By this I mean the only character to lighten the mood a bit in that Horrifying experience of Berserk. His Little pokes at guts,making silly jokes at serious moments. Berserk is something I can about for hours with anyone 😅 I doubt it cannot be animated at full scale even by a Big Animation studio it's like Vagabond. You can just read and experience the Magic. These mastermasterpieces are something ppl know very less abt even in my country in India ppl are not very interested in Manga. Anime is what they only watch.
