My bad, fixed it. Even after all these years, I sometimes mix up the Berserk terminology

I might catch some flak over this, but I don't think I was the only one who was somewhat disappointed with how some parts of episode 303 looked. I'm sure there were quite few fans besides me who were eagerly waiting to see how Ganishka looked like when he was in his younger years or what the rest of his family members' appearance was, only to be treated to a collection of faces obscured by shadowy silhouettes.
But I'm not worried about 319. Not the least because it's become something of an unwritten rule within Berserk in the past 4-5 years: whenever Miura takes a 12+ week break, it's always because he's got something extraordinary and huge planned. The episodes with ten-thousand man army and Griffith's epic final confrontation with the metamorphosed Ganishka come to mind.
And besides, I kinda think that those surreal looking and abstract shaped sea monsters (being Sea God's tentacles that they are) that have been attacking Guts and Co. on and off since episode 309 are meant to be taken as a hint that when he's finally gonna be revealed, we should expect that the Sea God himself will look unlike anything that we've ever seen before, period. No Cthulhu or Loch Ness monster or anything else that jumps first to our imagination.
