There might be a greater cycle here where Godhand members get killed off and Void has to assemble a new team from scratch. Guts's revenge may be part of some larger flow of causality not even the Godhand are aware of. They've shown before that they can't actually foresee everything. Some things surprise them and they try to explain it away by saying it's also part of causality.

Here’s what’s been my theory for a bit: I always think back to just before the Eclipse during Guts’ battle with Wyald. In the end, Wyald was defeated and then further humbled by Zodd. He was then stripped of his apostlehood by that vortex and laid bare as the twisted old man he was before his ascension. Having said that, you might say that I’m of the school of thought wherein the Godhand are using Griffith. If Griffith lives up to his name and longs for something so grand that he steps on the toes of the Godhand, perhaps he could end up like Wyald. Once again laid bare as Griffith the Tortured, who ended up just being a cog in the causality.

P.d: I belive Miura introduced the Egg Of The Perfect World in part probably to foreshadow that, yes, branded ones can't be re-sacrificed but they can become apostles themselves, besides all the symbolic and plot importance that character has, it would make the scene of the offer sooo much more tense before Guts at the lowest rejects it.

It seems that Griffith cannot harm Casca so she is more likely to be the one to kill him. Would make it similar to Attack on Titan as well, and the two stories have some parallels that I think are not intentional but natural. It is also a common trope for revenge stories that the avenger gets robbed of their revenge. In the final arc I assume Guts, Casca, Rickert, the bakiraka, Griffith, Zodd, etc will eventually end up in the same place and it'll feel like the Golden Age again, and I hope it can approach that level of quality as well.

As far as the ultimate sacrifice, Griffith will likely have to sacrifice Falconia in order to summon the entire god hand.

Serpico will use the behelit. Him fighting Guts (using any possible means to get an advantage) has been a running theme, his threat level even being compared to that of an apostle (so imagine when he becomes one). It's about to happen now that Elfhelm is falling, Casca is probably being kidnapped and the party may be forced to split (temporarily?)... the Elf Queen (O can't spell her name) warned the girls about getting hurt during Casca's dream sequence Farnese had a seeminly small wound in her leg. My guess is that's about to show after the healing magic of Elfhelm ceases or something which will lead Guts to left her under Serpico's care and with at least part of the crew that came in the boat. Being impared by the astral wound on to of feeling lost without Guts and useless without Casca to care (which has given her purpose), Farnese will spiral back into madness... Serpico will be crushed and blame Guts for it... the behelit will somehow end up in his hands and he will sacrifice a broken Farnese... And as an apostle he will cause great trouble, possibly trying to get back at Guts using Casca as hostage. I hope it will also be the opportunity Casca needs to show how she's not some helpless Daniel in distress. I mean lets hope that Miura's plans were really passed in full...

Serpico defidently deserves a gf. I know its illogical, but I always imagined that he could had an arc about moving on from Farnese and finding what he wants for himself. Farnese will eventually become a powerful witch who doesnt realy need protection, plus Rodesick can look after her. So realy Serpicos role of protecting her will not be needed anymore. The only problem is that Morda and Serpico haven't realy interacted. But I can see them making good chemistry with each other. Also I just want Farnese to find out about her blood relation with Serpico

Guts will swing towards Griffith but then stop close before he would split his head in half. Saying he's done with him and is gonna move on.

I see Guts becoming more than just a raid leader and commander, he becomes a general of his own army marching against the forces of the Godhand. I too would like a reunion with Rickert and company and what skills, trades, knowledge they bring back to the fold. Who knows, would be interesting seeing him either a poet or king in the very end of Berserk. I do think wielding a dragonslayer should mean he has to encounter a dragon on his way back to Falconia. I do think there should a big reveal to the masses who Griffith really is. I used to toy with the idea that both Guts and Griffith would go out like both Winslow and Swan do in the Phantom of the Paradise. As for the brands, not sure if they can be removed from those still alive from the original Band of the Hawk. I would love to see a Wounds part three to tie Guts' and Casca's relationship together again. There is the possibility this all could end like in King of Wolves Miura did back then. This has been the best story of my lifetime here in earth. Lots of turns we did not expect from the previous readings.

I really think if anybody uses the beheleit it would be Puck. I just started reading Berserk a couple weeks ago and caught up when 367 dropped and I honestly just assumed that everybody else would think that Puck would use it. I’m not really sure why that isn’t a popular theory when it is foreshadowed SO much. Can elves not use them or something? He is so possessive over it and is obviously attached to it, always reminds Guts that it’s “his” and, claims to know its favorite food etc. And judging by the fact that nobody seems to expect it it would be a great red herring moment

I want to see what he was capable of back when he was human, how he met Flora, when he got the breserk armor, the full fight between him and the GH, and exactly how he ended up into what he is now as SK. I want to see the history with him and Void, and see what happened to the previous GH members and a backstory on the current GH members. I want to know who Slain was before she became a GH and see her history. I would also like the count’s daughter to return as an apostle to fight Guts. And see the guy with the circle blades (forgot his name) team up with Guys to fight Griffth and the GH. Lastly I wanna see Guys get a power up in someway so he can realistically face griffith, because currently there’s no way he can beat him.

I suspect that Skull Knight killed the four Godhand members that were stood alongside Void in the flashback after the woman he was holding in his arms died, doing so in a fit of pure rage. But before he could land a killing blow on Void, the Berserker armor killed him instead. Another thing to mention is that the Dragonslayer did cut a strand of Griffith's hair when Guts was attacking him, so that means that the Dragonslayer could very well damage Griffith but he's either distorting space around him like he did with Skull Knight's sword or he is phasing his body when Guts takes a swing at him.

But the more I think about it, Farnese has had such a crazy redemptive arc from who she first was when we meet her in the manga. But we know that lonely, spiteful child is still in there. Serpico dying to save her will bring back all of the guilt and despair at once. Although the dragon slayer as a Behalet swords would probably so much better!

I think they just said that there are a few more chapters to make until this ark was finished, then they will start a new one, but I don't think they said the new ark is the last one. Someone point me to a link if I'm wrong. I totally forgot Puck named the Behelit Betchi. LOL. He really takes care of that thing like a pet too. I mean it is harmless when it's not being used for the obvious. Plus, it's not its fault what it is. I wonder what the origin of the Behelits are. Maybe Betchi was a person once. I have 2 questions that bother me with this series. Granted, they are not as important to the plot, but I would still like the fact that Griffith had most of Charlotte's family killed and the fact that Serpico knows he and Farnese are half siblings to come out. They're not major to the plot, or at least they don't seem to be at the moment, but both of these being cases of one character who knows something that they aren't telling another character they are around a lot is annoying to me, especially with the Serpico/Farnese situation because I see no reason why he can't tell her already.

Are we really hoping to see some giant stash of behelits appear out of nowhere so that Skull Knight can eat them and then swallow the dragonslayer (how), just so that Guts can get a sword that cuts space and time that has already been shown to be completely ineffective against Griffith? I really don't think the theory that the dragonslayer will become a Sword of Actuation(SoA) makes much sense. Each behelit seems to only have one face, so clearly there were several used in the creation of the SoA. Given that Skull Knight(SK) was literally picking up behelits Guts left behind, I think it's safe to assume he was searching up and gathering all them that he could. Past here be headcanon IMO it didn't seem like SK was actually ready to make the SoA, he did it because they needed a portal to get out but hypothetically he would have collected more behelits before he made it if he could. I don't read SK as an omniscient character, I do think he's prolly Geiseric(sp?), I see him as basically older Guts, more experienced but not really fundamentally different. I really don't think Danaan or anyone else ever came up to SK and was just like "hey, you should start eating behelits and melting them down in your stomach so that you can swallow your sword, sheath it in behelits and make it able to kill a member of the godhand or something," it feels like this prolly started as more of a way to remove behelits from circulation and then he realized that if he had enough then he could try doing something with them, maybe it was more than that and he's got some ability to influence the changes to his sword, he did seem pretty sure that it was gonna work after he decided it was time iirc, but I really think that the point of the SoA in the story is in the final fight between SK and Void. It seems like SK's real enemy is Void, and a sword that can make its own portals would perfectly counter what happened in the eclipse, where SK attacked Void then Void sent the attack back with a portal and SK had to block his own attack. IMO it was pretty clear Griffith wasn't even concerned about SK attacking him with the SoA and may have even planned on it, in summary I'm just really not sure how giving Dragonslayer the SoA treatment would work or matter, sorry to rain on your parade, but you basically asked for this when you said you wanted me to come back and say "Ryan was right." I'll gladly eat crow on this if you are right btw, and I wouldn't mind seeing some fan art of the Dragonslayer like that.
@Gyrannon Жыл бұрын
Here's a thought - Maybe the goal is for the Godhand to create a new alternate reality, send their most recent 5th member in to that reality, while the others remain to rule the old one. It would explain why there originally was 4 other Godhand members that were eventually replaced by the new members including Griffith. Afterwards they can pretty much repeat the process over an over again. And given it is mostly Grimdark, it would fit. I mean heck, maybe the Godhand can never truly be defeated, cause if it were possible, I think Skull Knight would've figured it out by now.
