Pretty cool episode, can't wait to read it all. I hope the battle is drawn out longer for Guts' mind to be sort of taken over by the Beast Of Darkness or for a temporary shift in who controls who in their unique bond.
Ramen4ever said:Afraid not, sorry.
-I normally don't skip over posts, sorry Aaz.

Stud-Horse of Ys said:And, telling by Isma's reaction, is it safe to assume she won't be using some sort of magic to help fight the sea god? I don't know Japanese so I apologize for not knowing what they're saying, but does it appear like she's bewildered by the magic of Schierke and Isidro's dagger? Or is she reacting to the creatures themselves?
Aazealh said:You know, Isma's just a fisherwoman, she's not a warrior or a witch. At first she's just excited to see monsters ("like Isidro said"), and when Schierke mentions that the charms protecting her house must be very powerful, she replies that she didn't know. I think she'll play a key role in whatever events are yet to come, but you shouldn't expect her to skillfully unleash a devastating spell like Schierke does.
Stud-Horse of Ys said:I can debunk most theories using my own observations, but if there's someone here who is infinitely more knowledgeable than myself, why not ask him to make sure there's an airtight seal on that coffin? I hope I'm not too much of a bother in that regard. :)
Maybe her heritage will be recognized by the Sea God itself somehow.Aazealh said:To speculate a bit, I think the coming ordeal with the Sea God might reveal a part of Isma's merrow heritage she didn't know about. Don't ask me the details of what that will entail though.
Well, she's had to deal with the armor on a full moon before. Which makes me think this a result of the merging. However, possibly a combination of both?Schierke's comment about the armor also makes me curious. Is it just the full moon, or an after-effect of the fusion of the worlds?
Walter said:Wow! So, Guts chases Casca

Draculoid said:guess its safe to say this isn't the moment The Beast of Darkness was biding his time for and that Guts will most likely have control for the rest of this fight/sea god?

Aazealh said:Well since the event the Beast referred to in episode 290 is the death of Guts' friends, I think there's a good chance it'll never really happen. Anyway yeah, from the preview it looks like the situation with the armor is going to be dealt with. For now we can't tell whether that means Guts will fight under control or the armor will be deactivated. As for the Sea God I'd say we're not there quite yet.
Jaze1618 said:Forgive my lapse of memory but is that really true?
The only time I remember the Armor mixing with a full moon was in volume 28, when the moonlight child first stopped guts from killing his friends, not Schierke.
Maybe I am forgetting something.
Ah, my bad. It's hard to tell from just the small preview.Aazealh said:Not really, first she runs to the boy, and then Guts intervenes to cut down a slug that was about to attack her.
Yeah, and that was my only point. If there was some special new od about the armor as a result of the full moon alone, she probably would have commented on it then.Rhombaad said:Once the Moonlight Boy freed Guts from the armor's influence, Schierke was able to pull him out the rest of the way. She didn't sense anything different about the armor during that incident, either.

Draculoid said:I got that he was referring to the death of his friends, but i interpretted from the last page of that segment to mean that the Beast (when he talks of conserving his strength and waiting) was going to unleash a more powerful mental attack then the usual to try and force the former to occur, not necessarily that it would.

Ramen4ever said:Was that "protect" that you mentioned a few posts before suggesting "protect others" or "protect self" If it's the former, that would indeed be incredibly interesting as far as what direction the BoD could be going in.
Ramen4ever said:Or maybe just how much Guts has learned to control the powers of the armor, even when he's seemingly over taken by its powers.
Ramen4ever said:I'm gonna stray off on a tangent here.. If that "protect" has any meaning in regards to Guts' darkside, that would be quite the development. That is, if Guts becomes a little less conflicted, and even the Beast comes to place value and importance on his companions (and not just as a means to an end) that could give Guts a resolution that he hasn't had for a long time. A resolution he lost when he broke Casca's trust.
Draculoid said:Also what sort of powerup/ combination attack Guts will use, if any, to defeat it?
