Casca will use the Behelit

She will sacrifice Farnese because Guts can't be sacrificed twice.
The God Hand will let her do this because her desire is to get enough power to fight them, which they grant because they know it's delusion.

There's no other character in the manga who is a good fit to use it.

What do you think will happen to Casca's brand? Doesn't the brand start to bleed when an apostle is near?

Will she be contantly bleedind then?

We've been over this a thousand times. Marked sacrifices can't use Behelits.

Slan tries to get Guts to use the Behelit in the troll cave, it's possible.

how about she uses it and kills grififififithu and then takes his place while guts lives the rest of his life out with the kiddos and elves

Opposite

I've long thought Farnese might be the one to use it. Among Guts' new party she's been among the most focused and developed since her introduction, and as a result has changed the most. From a story perspective, the reason for this is likely to make her function as Casca's caretaker and demonstrating what a budding magic user goes through, making her useful and providing a clear character arc. But with Casca recovered now and Farnese getting a good grasp on the basics of spellcraft, those angles are pretty much settled. Looking at Farnese now compared to where she started she's almost like a different character, with her only remaining insecurity being her infatuation with Guts. So now would be a good time to throw a curveball her way.

There are some neat options for how it could go. Guts is branded so she can't offer him, and that leaves the obvious choice in Serpico and the slightly less obvious Roderick, who's been shown to be genuinely charming and capable of getting her attention (after the dreamworld and with Casca awake he has a good chance to win her over). Between the two of them I'd think her sacrificing Serpico would be more likely, given that he hasn't changed much from his introduction and has sorta stagnated as the babysitter's babysitter. There are flashes of being a rival to Guts but Serpico's passivity stops it from going anywhere when Farnese isn't involved. Having Serpico be on deaths door anyway and imploring Farnese to sacrifice him to save herself would be a good way to cap off his life's journey of looking after her, assuming he doesn't finally break that mold soon.

Farnese doesn't have any reason to use the Behelit, she now has found a purpose in life that fulfills her -- being Casca's bodyguard. What do the God Hand have to offer her at this point in the narrative? She is content.
Casca, on the other hand, is currently experiencing the 2nd worst moment of her life, which is probably tied for the 1st worst moment in her life given that a large part of the day's events are reliving the Eclipse. And in addition to that forcibly coming to terms with the 2 years' worth of humiliating experiences she's had as a potato. And in addition the knowledge that she doesn't have the superpowered strength or skill in magic to actually be useful in the upcoming revenge quest against the monster army that Guts intends to walk into with Shierke. Casca is in a shit position and is in urgent need of power, which the God Hand are only too willing to provide for the low low price of a sacrificed loved one. Loved ones who so conveniently are living testaments to her shame.

There is no way serpico would allow Farnese to use the behelit, he has spent too much time getting her out of that state of mind, he would never do anything that would thrust her back into it.

If she ever uses it, she's gonna sacrifice Grifith

>purpose in life that fulfills her -- being Casca's bodyguard.
Casca isn't that weak, and she has Guts. Even if Casca relapses into tard mode, they're in Elfhelm now. She no longer needs to stay a babysitter after reaching their goal. If you wanted to provide me with a counter to why Farnese is in a place of contentment now, you'd be better off focusing on her making progress as a magician and rediscovering herself through spiritual training. Helpless mode Casca helped her find her way but she can't cling to that role any longer as things stand.

Under ordinary circumstances yes, but behelits don't activate under ordinary circumstances.

If the choice was either Farnese uses it and they both die, or Farnese uses it and he dies but she lives on, it would be chiefly in character for him to want to save her no matter the cost. I struggle to think of what Serpico has going, in terms of motivation and long term goals, besides ensuring Farnese's survival. Farnese and Isidro even got new love interests but Serpico is still just orbiting Farnese solo like always.

Even if Farnese went full edge and selfishly sacrificed Roderick that would at least give Serpico something big to work off of and an individual source of conflict.

Yup. There has been nothing to suggest he can't sacrifice, just that he wasn't fated to do so in volume 3. We've seen a branded apostle before, and Slan said he could use it, so that user is just a speed reader that shouldn't speak with such false confidence and possibly confuse others.

He still hasn't fully let go of the possibility of hunting the Godhand and it's his key to finding them. A very loud part of him still wants to.I

You're right that it could still be some random stranger along Guts' path that the behelit is destined for. It's just using him to travel for now. It could be meant for anyone, we don't know until it activates.

Circumstances aside, it still proved it's not impossible. That along with Slan's direct statement is enough for me at least, until we get new info.

Idk I think Guts may just be an idiot, I mean he saw that SK collects dozens of them and found no better a use than to melt them into a fucking retarded sword.

you can't sacrifice already sacrificed people, this is the first rule that is explained to us, Guts and Casca cannot be sacrifices and the same goes for newGriffith.
the most important thing for you must be sacrificed, so Casca and Guts can make sacrifices technically, but they don't have anyone so important that they can sacrifice

I think I got it. Serpico will sacrifice himself if and when elfheim gets attacked. It's that simple. He'll do anything for Farnese, guts will end up out of control again. That's all the drama you need. For the next 10 volumes. It also accomplishes way too much for it not to happen.
And I could see things take to other routes, I doubt they honestly will. Serpico has literally no purpose in the story currently. This way Roderick slides into dms, and Farnese ends up disillusioned from guts who kills him. The party gets split. Farnese goes back to Lithe with Roderick.
To return by end game with the fleet army. Or something. Hmm. I am not sure what Muria does with isidrio and magnfico but I could see both leaving to rile up support or tangentially. But all in all, serpico is the only one with true death flag potential

Its supposed to. You sacrifice mana/your friends/dead early 20th century europeans, and obtain power from it.
It simply is illogical within even a magical system that the same soul can be sent to hell twice for all eternity in return for something.

>the same goes for newGriffith.

So how does the "Behelit will find owner" interact with SK destroying/melting them to make his new sword? Did he just negate all the intended owner's threads of fate or what?

>French noble makes a deal with the devil and ruins the world
man when did this manga get so historically accurate?

Actually Serpico is the catalyst for Guts only ever time expressing pre-eclipse facets his personality. Usually he's fatalistic in his revenge or saving Casaca's brain, at the expense of his own happiness.

Attached: x5 (1).png (1452x2108, 1.24M)

Maybe but the utility of that pales in the comparison to what I laid out. In an attack on Elheim as a mirror to what happened at Flora's mansion Guts will be wrought back to post eclipse. From the already as near pre eclipse as he can get. I am not sure what you are getting at

>Elheim as a mirror to what happened at Flora's mansion Guts will be wrought back to post eclipse
Only if Casca/Isidro/Farnese/Puck die. The attack on Flora's treefort was pretty wholesome too, apostles didn't skullfuck her eyeholes or anything
That chapter is so weird by the way, it just fades to black and we never find out what happened to the SK/Zodd fight.

I left out Scheirke because she's never gonna die.

Guts will have a chance to use the behalit to get revenge on grifith, but in return he would have to become the 1st god hand in a new cycle. Guts wont do it and defy causality. Then Grifith will succeed in destroying the IoE and breaking the cycle.

The story hints hard that this is what happened with skull knight and void already. with guts being void and Griffith being skullknight.

Attached: literallyforeshadowing.jpg (1224x1976, 927K)

Except for the small part where Guts is told that he's just a ferryman for the Behelit and that it isn't his destiny to use it.

What if every cycle the god hand forms in a different manner? Like the god hand were angelic goody twoshoes in Gaiseric's time, but once Void took over he made them evil as fuck.
Guts could create a good guy god hand.

The God hand have a pretty tight little hustle here
>Sacrifices get sent to hell
>Apostles get sent to hell
Unless they live forever like Zodd, they're all going to end up in hell

except I literally said he wont use it. Besides, if caska ends up trying to use it but "free from causality guts" stops her its the same thing in the end.

>angelic good guy god hand
>world is a complete mess and everyone is in constant war
Wouldn't make sense, the IoE says its a cycle basically and all humans wanted was for things to be shit so he gives it tothem.

When I say "use it," I don't mean "take the deal." It isn't Guts' destiny to activate the Behelit. Someone else will do it. He's just carrying it to them.

>Besides, if caska ends up trying to use it but "free from causality guts" stops her its the same thing in the end.

It doesn't have to be your single favorite person. A person can sacrifice their parents, their family, or their companions.

I just can't see Guts caring if Isidro or Puck is killed, does he even know they're still in his party? I mean logically, I'd expect him to be sad based on how he has progressed... but I just can't picture it

>That chapter is so weird by the way, it just fades to black and we never find out what happened to the SK/Zodd fight.

You are sort of right. Since Zodd was there for her death and sk was there to guard her death their reasons for fighting at that specific junctions ended. Muria didn't show it, but I think of it as purely a guts moment there, so the hyper focus makes sense

>Actually Serpico is the catalyst for Guts only ever time expressing pre-eclipse facets his personality.
If we completely ignore Isidro, sure. Which I guess most people in these threads do, and that's depressing.

Attached: Berserk_v24_p011.png (1229x1800, 478K)

What is his actual role in the story? Isidro literally has been powering up for the last several years canonically. That's it. And in the moment to moment role he has, it's essentially to make funny quips and play off characters. Berserk is pusing it on levity, almost asking at times if it should just be a comedy manga

Flora told him that's a possibility, and that he should hope that he loses it somewhere. Unless you mean Conrad in Volume 3, but he was only talking about that moment. It's a crazy stretch to say that's the final word on it ever, especially since Slan clearly doesn't think so.

>Wouldn't make sense
Not him, but the Godhand's purpose to fulfill the desires of mankind. If mankind desired peace and love, they would provide the means for it. If they desire chaos and fear, they provide the means for that as well. They respond to the collective unconscious of the human race that longs for something. It just so happens a lot of people are self-centered, cowardly, and greedy and hate filled.

Has Guts said a single word directly to Isidro in the past 80 chapters?

The God hand is separate from the idea of evil. Miura has talked about Void having his own keikaku before.

I think the last time they spoke was just before the boat landing on the seagods island

Isidro's goal is to become a strong warrior, and so far he's moved steadily toward that goal. It may not be complex, but it's more a goal and independent motivation than Serpico has. Like I said, attempts at setting Serpico up as a sort of soft rival to Guts has mostly fallen flat over time, as Serpico comes off as too passive for that.

As for how Isidro relates to Guts: As a disciple of sorts, he makes for a nice parallel to Guts' early days sparring with Gambino, and reminds us of his responsibility for troops under his command in the Band of the Hawk. Isidro is the only one that brings up Guts' reputation specifically as someone he's always looked up to.

Isidro's rapid growth has coincided with Guts putting more faith in him, which encourages him to grow more. He's pretty much Guts' sidekick along with Schierke, whom Isidro also shares a sibling-like rivalry with as you see in Enoch village and the Sea God chapters.

But Isidro also plays the role of comic relief, so people like to dismiss and outright ignore the several times he has come through in a pinch by doing important things that Guts couldn't have done himself. Most notably saving Casca at the Tower of Conviction, guarding Schierke and the villagers escaping the Qliphoth, and befriending the mermaids. Guts often goes out of his way to tell Isidro (as well as Farnese and Schierke) that they're useful.

Serpico is cool, but he doesn't really do as much as any of them. He usually just provides backup for Guts in fights, and I think the biggest difference he ever made was backing up Guts against Daiba and stepping in to stop him from having it out with Zodd. He almost never does anything independently because he's still just following Farnese around with no motivation outside of that.

So it's depressing when I see people shit on Isidro, whose role is much more prominent and defined, because he does everything you can say Serpico does and more, *including* comedy relief.

Yes.

Isidro is retarded compared to child guts. He's learning a roguish fighting style only applicable pre-puberty. He's gonna become Serpico-lite at this rate.

The last time they spoke was at the banquet when they reached Elfhelm. But they've spoken plenty enough before then as well.

In terms of motivation and goals he's already surpassed Serpico. Good lord imagine if he was as aimless as Serpico, just following Farnese around, AND he dared be comic relief. I can only imagine how dismissive people would be towards him then, without Serpico's cool badass factor as shiny keys to jingle in people's faces

>Interviewer: The "Black Swordsman" arc has just begun. The axis will be, obviously, the story in which Guts' feud with the God Hand, who Griffith/Femto belongs to, being brought to a close. Let's think about the development leading to the finale. First of all, what is the goal of the God Hand now that it's composed of 5 members? It is naturally expected that if Guts can't find it out, he won't even be able to confront them. Before that, is the God Hand complete with the addition of Femto?

>Miura: Hmm, for now the God Hand is supposed to be complete with Femto. I'm sorry but now is not a good time, as expected, to reveal their goal... Instead, I'll give you one hint. The keyword is "Void". You can imagine many things based on it.

There is not evidence to support the theory that casca is black, she does not have a wide nose, big lips, or carpet hair which are features black in the series have like Donovan for example. What more likely is that she's some type of not-Spaniard or kuskan.

Geez, how old is this? But then it's also going on as though it's much later in the manga. I guess the translation is just wonky as fuck.

Anyway, I don't understand where that says the Godhand are separate from the Idea of Evil. You do realize Void or Femto or whomever can have their own plots while still serving their purpose as the Guardian Angels of Desire, right? Those aren't mutually exclusive things...assuming that's even what that quote means since it's deliberately vague as hell on top of the translation being weird.

I'm pretty sure they meant Lost Children

Following farnese is a motivation in an of itself. There is also the protect Farnese angle. And the fact that you are also describing his persona. It's not serpico's fault Muira decided to throw away his rivalry with guts (ended entirely duel episode), the romance implication with Farnese (ended around volume 22 never to really resurface unless you count duel) and his apostale fighting tag team which ended at Kelpie fight, or his insightful sleutheness which happened during conviction. Where he was more prominant and intresting that isidro. I don't know what you are smoking.

Shit fucking taste confirmed

La Figaro: The reunion between Guts and Casca is imminent and the confrontation with Griffith is looming. Is the end of Berserk approaching? You estimate to be 60-70% of the story in 2009, after 176 chapters … This number has now doubled!

Miura: For the reunion between Guts and Casca, it’s done.

I think I’m always wrong when I try to estimate this kind of delay. However, it is true that the first serious duel with Griffith is approaching. As for the overall advancement of the series, however… It’s coming to an end, that’s for sure. But if I say that there is still a fifth or a quarter to draw, this estimate may be lower than the reality. So I prefer not to advance.

Attached: x5.png (1959x1400, 460K)

I usually describe her as ambiguously brown and leave it at that. I never point her out as being black because you're right, she doesn't look particularly black. Just dark. So I don't know for certain if she's mixed black or Kushan some other type of dark skinned ethnicity. And until it's stated somewhere in the manga it could be any of those. Or it could never be explained, like people with pointy elf ears.

But I think Kushan is the least likely because of what we do know:
1) She was born in Midland near the border with Chuder.
2) Blacks like Pippin and Donovan are common enough that no one points them out. Boscogn is also dark skinned without a wide nose; no one points it out.
3) When Kushan are pointed out or brought up, they're treated as exotic and a big deal.

Casca being the only unspoken exception to that last thing would be very odd to me. They were rounding up Kushani and hanging them in Vritannis. Raiding parties of Kushan were slaughtering settlements around Albion. If Casca looked at all like them, it makes no sense that no one ever batted an eye toward her no matter how dumb she acted.

But if you prefer to think she's Kushan, I admit she could be. But I'd at least say that she doesn't look like it to anybody within the setting, despite what any reader thinks. It makes no sense otherwise.

As long as she actually needs him to. But as Farnese continues to grow she needs him less, and he becomes more of a +1 in fights without the kind of spotlight and relationships others get. For what it's worth I WISH Serpico had more going on outside of orbiting Farnese, which is steadily becoming a pointless job as well as being a thankless one.

>It's not Serpico's fault that his subplots haven't gone anywhere
I agree, but then nothing is really his fault; he's not real. We just have to hope that Miura gives him more to work with now that the status quo of the group has shifted dramatically with Casca recovered.

And you can just keep shitting on Isidro. Everyone else who reads this does; I can only lament it so much.

For what is worth user, I like Isidro too. For all the talks of annoying comic relief, he's pretty proactive and consistently useful.

Kind curious about his mermaid waifu. I'm assuming the gang will eventually leave Elfheim, and if we survive the return trip boat arc, that means coming back to Fuck-You-Land. Seems pretty dangerous for the civilian/nobiity bunch that's been accompanying them at sea, so they're most likely being left behind.

meru will get voice magic

The weird thing is that ever since Enoch village and especially in Vritannis and the Sea God arc, Isidro has been associated with sailing. That falchion he got from the old dude? Won it off a sailor. Bonebeard and Roderick both complimented him on his natural aptitude for fighting at sea. Now he has a mermaid girlfriend too? It all fits together almost too perfect.

If Guts and company do wind up spending more time on boats and traveling to foreign lands, having Roderick as a companion will pay off. He seems like the dashing adventurer type. Who knows, maybe after shit goes down at Elfhelm, Guts and his friends will head to the nautical kingdom of Ys.

South italian+spanish probably.

Seems like the most reasonable prediction. The won't stay on the island unless Miura decides to just be done with the story, and they've got no business in Midland, so why not crash at Roderick's place? They're all friends at this point.

That is, assuming his kingdom survived the great happening.

Also, we haven't seen any Kushani yet, so to say that she doesn't look like one is a stretch.
The deity in your picture is obviously Kushan and without a wide nose. The only thing she lacks is raven black hair, but could be because she's ethereal

*We haven't seen any Kushani females yet

Reminds of those international polls where they ask people if they think their fellow human beings are generally decent and trustworthy and then ask them to evaluate the state of their country/world. Sure enough, people convinced that everybody except them is terrible also think the world is shit and are more prone to support tinpot dictators, making their lives more shit. Their personal negativity becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The fortune-teller in the vol.11 or so predicted that when "a giant white star" gets covered by the moon, a great calamity and change will arrive. She predicted the Eclipse, obviously, but it's interesting to note the phrasing.

Hmm. So I take it they cut the Bakiraka out of that 1997 anime too then. Figures. Anyway, she's not a deity. She's of Silat's clan.

Griffith just made you a ward of the state. But now you have to go fight trolls, wraiths and dire wolves in the hinterlands. Here's your standard issue cape, shield, and arming sword. Now go report to the guy with the creepy eyes that looks like he could transform into a snail with legs.

I stopped reading chapters when they were on the boat and got raided by pirates. It feels like it’s been almost ten years.
Is it a good time to get back to reading?

Yeah there's going to be a "strong" possibility that the next chapter this month will be returning to Guts and friends again after what's happened with Griffith

Who has the best Apostle design and why is it Locus?

I I like how Muira just took a completely different turn and went for an alien, metallic approach rather than the standard demon monster.

>Locus

I thought he was the one that took out the giant "chicken" that was chasing Rickert?

Wasn't there one that could change into a deer too?

What is this? A Moonlight Knight for ANTS?!

Griffith has been called the second protagonist for years now. Might as well get used to it.

Irvine.

Are you thinking of Irvine (the archer)?

It's not so much Griffith as an MC, that part's fine.

It's that Muira decides to leave on a cliffhanger moment between Guts and Casca which we've been waiting on for LITERALLY over a decade, then decides to segue into 3 straight fucking Griffith chapters (including a 10 month hiatus).

He's almost taking the piss at this point

Irvine seems like such a chill dude. I really want to know his backstory.

I believe so

I totally forgot that part.
Though, if Kushans are fairer skinned than Casca.....

I have a hunch that guts dragon slayer will break somehow and will be reforged by rickert

She's not black

>Darker than a Kushan
There are more options than black, like half-black half Kushan. We haven't seen the Moors yet, but that could be an option as they did conquer parts of Portugal and Spain in the time period this story is supposed to take place in. I still think she's Kushan. We don't have a lot of options when she's depicted to be darker than a Kushan female and when Kushans and Africans are the only people of color depicted in the story anything else could be considered a stretch

Dagger and Sword was also a very common way of fighting amongst Portuguese sailors and such.

Which is exactly why it'll happen.

Fucking punctuation man, I can't be fucked reading this shit.

Sonia is going to use the beherit.

But who was Berserk?

Hol up, is he supposed to be blind?

>Casca sacrifices Farnese
Great, give Guts two Griffiths to kill. Folks are understandably giving Casca a wide berth on her hesitation towards icing Griffith since he is technically also her and Guts son, but once she does that, then shit, we've just got a slightly more sympathetic Griffith.

Except I don't know if Casca's experience as a branded would make her decision to use the Behelith more sympathetic or more vile

Maybe it's the friends they made along the way

Gut's lady friend is overrated damage goods

Interviewer: On the Griffith route, he starts to look like the protagonist.

Miura: I depict Griffith as a character who hardly ever talks about his own mental state, but gathering characters around him who express their feelings has the converse effect of elevating Griffith himself. Also, manga characters tend to be judged as enemies or allies – good or evil – but I'm trying not to create Berserk using such a value system. Griffith is Griffith, and he seems appealing, but maybe from his side Guts looks like the villain. And there are probably those who find the world Griffith creates to be more to their convenience. From there it's a question of what's going to happen with this setting called Fantasia [laugh].
