Well, I don't think we can definitively say for SURE it's an idol yet, since no one's said anything about it yet. But it seems more likely than it being alive.D-Scape said:^ That could be. I just thought it seemed suspiciously organic.
We know Beherits are sentient, based in part on what Flora said about them in Volume 24.Then again... the beherits seems to be "alive", but I'm not sure if they're considered "creatures" either.
D-Scape said:So we're back on land again, but things doesn't look too good. My first thought when they confronted the strange creature on the final page was that they had stumbled across chibi-Cthulhu.
Walter said:I have a hunch they'll have to escape the island, and not be able to take down the massive sea god. But... maybe not
Deci said:I wonder what's up with Guts brand. If it hasn't stopped bleeding since the wave washed over them I would guess that could just be another result of the world's merging, as there will always be something strange and/or evil about.
Deci said:I'm not sure the thing they're seeing in the last panel is the actual monster.
Deci said:The girl is also very interesting, don't really have any thoughts on her yet, but she did have some knowledge of elves which was cool.
Guts' brand only bleeds around evil things, not "something strange." It has other reactions/feelings to other beings, such as Skull Knight.Deci said:If it hasn't stopped bleeding since the wave washed over them I would guess that could just be another result of the world's merging, as there will always be something strange and/or evil about.
Whoa, you can read japanese? Sweet, please help us with translations!If I'm not mistaken, Guts comments on how it seems overly sensitive, or something thereabouts.
I wouldn't call that a theory -- it's more of a wild guess.I have a theory that perhaps now that the Godhand are in the world, it could even act as a compass, where it could lead him in the direction to find them if he so wished.
No shit.Cthulhu is typically represented as having tentacles and such...
No shit.but I'm not sure the thing they're seeing in the last panel is the actual monster.
No shit.The fish piled up in front of it are almost definitely a type of offering from the villagers - who I'd say are definitely scared shitless.
Yeah, pretty much...............

Aazealh said:Well it's not completely impossible, but it'd be ridiculously inconvenient unless the island itself was just one gigantic monster. Besides, why would the pile of fishes be intact if that thing was supposed to eat them?
Guts better start looking for that glowing blue spot then! [/is gonna use this joke whenever it's relevant]グリフィス said:That's just one of its tiny eye-stocks keeping watch on its tribute, the other eye is located in a cupboard on the other side of the island. The island itself is a giant helmet. =)

Death May Die said:So, they arrived to this town and they're getting the "Innsmouth" treatment. That can never be good.
You mean she has knowledge of elves like every kid in the world? It's really nothing special. She was just excited to see one for the first time, like any other child would be. It's more interesting that she's willing to talk to a stranger instead of hiding like the other villagers.
I wouldn't call that a theory -- it's more of a wild guess.
No shit.
No shit.
No shit.
No shit.
Yeah, pretty much.
Deci said:Heh, okay, but Schierke and Guts seem to share a conversation about his brand, is it really strange to think it's kind of acting strange? I mean, stranger than usual?
Deci said:That's one interesting take on it, definitely!
Deci said:BUT to add controversy, a lot of characters haven't seemed that knowledgeable about elves. Isn't it safe to assume that a child seemingly pretty isolated on a pretty isolated island might not have heard such folk tales?
Deci said:It's common sense to think that such a person that does know of elves might have some further insight that's rather contradictory to the standard.
Bekul said:Given that currently unnamed naked girls lack of clothes, her spear, and her net, it's likely that she could have been drawn from the tradition of Japanese Ama Divers.
I'm more worried about Isidro waltzing into the cave all by himself with the girl tagging along trying to stop him. He's already right next to the giant entrance. Sha-pow..rescue mission. He is a rambunctious young boy after all. I don't see the ship or the crew being in any sort of immediate danger...but I'm sure they'll get their fair share of terror later.Okin said:Personally, I'm really worried for the ship and the crew. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of the sailors decided to take a walk and were somehow pulled toward the big cave.

Aazealh said:What this implies is pretty big though. Since volume 1 Guts has always been able to "feel" evil through his Brand, using it in a Radar-like fashion to detect and even track his enemies. It's warned him of countless dangerous situations. That ability is apparently greatly diminished. He believes he'll still feel if something serious comes close enough, but who knows...
