"Along with his mysterious Od, during their first encounter, Schierke additionally notices hostility within the Moonlight Boy – an emotion she states is no longer detectable upon their second encounter." <-- this is also interesting
My theory is that the moonlight kid is the part of griffith that is good that survived through his unholy union with Casca. Later repaired!Casca and Guts will look after this kid and he will be Luke Skywalker
:D??? too sugary?

Moony Boy is almost certainly Guts and Casca's demon child, whose spirit merged with Griffith's at the 2nd Eclipse. I think Griffith himself is gone at this point - he froze his heart in order to become Femto and it's only through his association with the demon fetus that he feels anything for Guts and Casca at the Hill of Swords. I think Moony is understandably weary of Guts because, you know, he did try to murder him when he was the demon fetus on more than one occasion... But he also probably has enough power to be keeping tabs on his parents even when he can't take a physical form on the full moon, and has some idea of what they've gone through.
In any case, he'll definitely be instrumental to Femto's downfall.

I just now noticed that Amazon is listing the English release of volume 39 for July 24th! You can pre-order it.
The official GuideBook is getting translated too apparently and it's coming March 27th! That's up for pre-order as well.

ohhh ok
so i think my friend conflated demon fetus with the imperfect egg character
yeah, moony boy was demon fetus that somehow grew up and attain current form and he's kinda magical because of his conception, even though casca and guts are humans, maybe because he was conceived in the interstice/during the eclipse, he became somewhat not human.
and yea i agree he'll play an interesting part in femto's endgame arc
yeah > __ < probably > __ <
If you've read the Dark Tower series, there are some interesting parallels
where a child conceived via demon rape has two fathers: the main hero and a main antagonist.
I thought the moon child was the after effects of the Demon fetus and the egg behelit sacrificing itself to give birth to the new Griffith? Is there any reason to get the guide book? I also have up to vol 30 physically now.
Maybe I've been reading into things too much but the fact the dog looks like The Beast is not the most reassuring sign especially since Casca shouldn't know what The Beast is, let alone what it looks like.
Maybe Casca in her current state has a window into Guts' subconscious. Or she can see astral states or some shit. I'm only thinking this because Casca doesn't wig out randomly or everybody. There must be some sort of threat detection reason for this.
It does look like a fucked up Doberman. Maybe HStallion just thinks that because they're both doggos.
im at book 3 of the dark tower series now~
no no i think the moonkid and the egg behelit things are two separate characters, jadey
ya, the dog looks like doberman and the beast? looks more like a jackal? (to me)
I know they're not the same thing. I just thought the moon kid was one of the results of the egg behelit and demon fetus giving up their lives for Griffith since Griffith's new body came as a result of the egg behelit eating the demon fetus.
:thinking emoji:
......... yeah, i mean, that can be inferred i guess but it hasn't been spelled out in the manga, has it? but yea, i agree, it's possible that griff's return to the physical world had affected the demon fetus' growth
Um....I thought specifically in the manga you saw the innards of the egg behelit turning into Griffith. With the innards of the egg behelit being the demon fetus that he ate. I just read that volume yesterday I think. And on that note the demon fetus was about to die and the egg behelit felt sorry for it and ate it.
oh really?
im only up to the end of golden age now on my reread... i'll keep an eye out for the conviction arc when i get there :D thanks for the marker o7
Have fun being reminded how much of a shitty character Nina was. Luca is bae though.
luca is great
i think nina... grew on me when i readed the conviction arc a long time ago. i remembered not really liking her at the beginning but thought that she was okay by me by the end of the arc
pls... pls not the new anime ; __ ;
nina is useless and weak-hearted and unreliable but i think she was purposely designed and told that way. she's a very relatable character for the average human being. naturally, she disappointed me a lot too and that's why i disliked her strongly at the beginning but by the end of the arc, i kinda get what miura wanted to tell with her and i think he delivered it.
If you want to spoil yourself a little on your reread here's the panels of the fetus growing into the reborn Griffith
She ain't Jill or even Slug Counts daughter.
"Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline. Motherfucker becomes a walking shampoo commercial.If you want to spoil yourself a little on your reread here's the panels of the fetus growing into the reborn Griffith
yeah this is my thought as well,
its a thorough look at how somehow helpless sees the world, unlike the majority of the cast who can at least rty to fight back against the terrible everything's. And its no coincidence that she is paired with Luca, who is in the same situation but responds in pretty much the exact opposite way.
the flow of causality was altered to make sure the wind is blowing through giffs hair just right at every moment
The man thing stays flawless. He made sure he was even more perfect than his already perfect human body. All according to Keikaku and shit.
but jill and theresa (count's daughter) are a look into good characters. they are not helpless and/or useless and/or super, super flawed
nina is a look at those amongst us who're not as good.
naturally, i like jill and theresa much betterer but i have to give miura points for trying to showcase a perspective off someone who's not as likeable as a person, is all im saying
also, i wanna be as pretty as griff when i grow up * ___ *
seru <3
also additionally, i kinda crack up how ohyeah was nina in our last berserk game, seruru XD
I kind of agree. She was a miserable and pathetic human being and wholly unlikable but it seems like that was intentional. She was also just a minor character in the manga which helps make her at least somewhat tolerable (and she becomes completely intolerable in the anime because of the fact that they greatly increased her screen presence). I guess I can say that I liked her more than the pirate captain, however faint praise that is.
hahah yeah, i can guess :> i've kinda stopped reading since somehow i got my hands on the comic, and since the comic kind of got bits and pieces from the future books, i've managed to spoil myself on some deets and so i was like... deflated
thanks me
:(
i'll pick it up again for sure, im half way through book 3
:D
agree tbh lol
yeah, i really had to remove myself as an invested reader to be able to appreciate her arc, tbh. because without thinking about the bigger picture, i did find her extremely annoying lol. but once i step back and think about the world and what kind of world it is for its people to deal with, i manage to gain some appreciation of miura's attempt at this nina character.
and yes, agree on the last sentence so much hahaha
i cant say i ever disliked ninas inclusion in the story,
for all the bad shit she pulls her actions always made sense, in that she is complete ruled by fear, like genuine paralyzing fear that just overrides all logic in favour shallow self preservation. and considering the setting, not just the broader world of berserk, but the tower being a literal concentration of just about everything thats bad about that world, i really cant blame someone for being so afraid.
like, her whole subplot just seems to be a big look at fear, and ii thought it was pretty effective.

nuu but get in the robot shinji
yeah, the way you describe nina is very apt.
i wasnt able to come to where you are at the beginning of her arc tbh, seru, but yes, by the end, i completely feel you.
Can we get a little bit of hype going?
In 10 days we will know what will happen with casca.
10 days.
How about we post our favorite panels.
1 per day
for the following 10 days.
I will start with this gem.
Everything that led up to this moment.
The dispair
Gutts putting on the Armor
Slaying the knight
and him turning into this thing ?!
that volume alone ranks as one of the high points in this manga aswell as one of the most hyped moments in my life.

But I love so many Berserk panels. I'm also not helped by the fact that I do not keep track of which panels are in what volume though so it makes the google searches hard.
Dude there are so many good ones...some gory...some NSFW...seeing Nina take as much....ummm...rampant eroticism was shocking and other panels of just gothic beauty. Berserk has it all.
I've been using this colored page as my background for awhile. I didn't embed the image because it's massive, 4239x2292. The person who colored has done other panels, like the arrival at Skellig overlooking the hills and runed stones, but unfortunately I lost the link to their website.
