Aazealh said:The gurus go on: "Now almost all forests of spiritual trees around the world have been burned to ashes. Because of that, the world tree got more power. So the ancient chaos when the real world and the astral world are mixed together is going to come back." Ged says that now, he wants to ask a question to the man in black, who has a deep relation to him: "Who the hell is the Falcon of Light? Can you tell me what he wants to do by twisting the world like that? What desire led him to be reborn as a Guardian Angel of Desire?"
DragoonBG said:I'd love to read it if you have a direction link :), thanks. Also have to say you are probably single handedly the most informative and interesting person I've ever red commenting and talking about Berserk. Just to throw (some praise ) it out there, I'm sure you hear that often, but I'm new here and I think it's ok to say it (I've been reading the forum for a quite some time and appreciate all the people's thoughts and views).
Tripas said:Regarding the "roads" and the World Tree, it's interesting to note that not all the forests have been destroyed. Maybe when that happens the "chaos" Ged talks about is the aforementioned Age of Darkness (if we don't consider that the world in its current state is actually that). And maybe and only maybe, the remaining seals are the final key for the complete release of the God Hand upon the world, if they don't walk the earth yet. Thinking of it, our missing and beloved immortal could be doing a little job
Tripas said:In retrospect I wonder what role had Skull Knight in all of this. Can we assume he was trying to protect the seals? Why did he hide Femto's intentions from Guts and Schierke?
Walter said:Most of us have known that Griffith's ambitions were always larger, and that the pursuit of his kingdom was the tallest order he could dream of as a man. [...] This scene also sets up Guts' value to the Gurus, and really to all the inhabitants of the island: His special connection with Griffith, who has become the de facto leader of the evil order that's literally tearing the world apart.
Walter said:Will this discussion spill over into 346, where Guts expounds a bit more to his companions about the state of Casca, Griffith, himself, and his journey? Here's hoping. The timing makes sense now more than it ever has.
Oburi said:I guess Flora was singled out in particular (possibly because of the armor or the connection to Skullknight) because both Zodd and Grunbeld showed up.
Oburi said:I love the Guardian Angel of Desire line. Brings me back to the early episodes.
Miura said:The third episode of the animation was an original scenario created for the TV series, so the dog apostle, a very minor character, got a big breakthrough.
Walter said:Ohh so it was a dog apostle all along — after all these years! Thanks IncantatioN and Puella!
Aazealh said:There's not much to see, but here is a link to one occurrence where I talked about it. And thank you for the praise, I appreciate it.
Aazealh said:"It can't be!! The man I've respected, the 100 man slayer, the strongest man of the Band of the Falcon! You're also an acquaintance of his, Guts?! Awesome, please introduce him to me!"
Grifth said:Beautiful issue! just a quick question is miura drawing digital now? because these last 2 issues seem to have a change in style!
Mangetsu said:Of course Miura also still uses a brush and a maru pen, looking at the hair of the characters or at much thinner lines shows that.
I would love to hear more from someone who has experience with these kinds of programs, so I created a sidebar thread here: http://www.skullknight.net/forum/index.php?topic=15089.msg242597#msg242597Eluvei said:I'm not so sure about this. There's a new wobbliness to some brush/brush pen-looking thick lines that looks very typical of digital lineart, and that also looks a lot like the wobbliness found on his digital paintings from the latest volume. Not to mention the slight change in style, which could mean he's adapting to new tools, and which happened around the same time he first showed his digital paintings. To be honest, I was pretty sure 344 was entirely digital (for some reason Gedflynn's face makes the use of a round brush with pressure sensitivity extremely obvious, look at his nostrils), but this time I don't know, maybe it's both. These filtered scans don't help.
Falconia is just a stepping stone? Jesus, Griffith is the most powerful being on Earth with his own kingdom and demon army. How much further can he go? Is there even a world left worth conquering?
Feeblecursedone said:I mean, we only assume Femto/Griffith is going to continue to play alongside the other side, what if he's playing it as long as it suits him? [...] Is being a God hand member truly the highest point? Will Griffith be satisfied by being equal to other God hand members?
Feeblecursedone said:If he's the saviour, what are the other god hand's roles now that they're materialized/will be materialized? Can we assume they'll support Griffith in steering mankind to whatever goal Griffith has envisioned for them ( since IOE pretty much said he's going to decide their fate ), or will they have their own ideas as what to do ( so far they worked together to manipulate events for Griffith's reincarnation but who's to say its going to be like that forever ). Are we going to, at some point , see a clash of ideals? Or will they remain in shadows and support IOE's chosen champion? Its not like Griffith's desire is the only one that matters, we have other 4 God Hands who were former humans as well and have ties to humanity that should manifest in their own vision/desire of/for the world. So why is it Griffith that gets all the fame ( aside being second main character ofc )?
Feeblecursedone said:get an answer as to what the hell is going on with Void's weird skin-mouth mask
Salem said:I'm getting the same wonderful feels as I did the first read at Floras. We're gonna get some fantastic world building dialogue that will no doubt solve some questions that have gone unanswered for years. What a time to be a fan! I personally am loving the island and all of its new and fascinating inhabitants.
jackson_hurley said:What I'm wondering about the God Hand members now that they are in the physical world (or soon to be) is : will they keep their god hand look but with a physical presence or are they gonna turn like Femto/Griffith aka hiding in a human shell? [...] I personally think that Griffith will be the only one looking human. But I got curious about it.

Defengar said:Griffith, like many conquerors of history, is not satisfied after accomplishing his initial aims, and with his transformation, he is essentially an inhuman sociopath wearing a facade on top of that.
My theory is that his goal now is to use Falconia as a giant sacrificial altar to achieve even greater power; sacrificing almost the entire rest of the human species (and maybe even his army of Apostles) during a third eclipse event in order to transcend the God Hand, to become a true "god" himself that can wield omnipotent power over reality and magic.

Griffith :" These are my new advisers..."
I personally think that Griffith will be the only one looking human. But I got curious about it.
Walter said:If Falconia, and thus its residents, are merely a stepping stone for him transcending the God Hand, then why would they make valid sacrifices...? Particulary if you regard him as a sociopath (he's not -- he's a demigod who shed his emotions), it wouldn't work by the rules of what makes a sacrifice.
Defengar said:I mean, there's always the chance that there are other ways of going about sacrificing, especially on this scale. Did anyone see the Ganishka thing coming? That was like watching the end of 2001 Space Odyssey! Also if he kills almost all of mankind, the idea of evil (if it's even still a thing) would become massively diminished. A spiritual power vacuum could potentially happen that Griffith sees himself as filling...
And yeah, he's not technically a sociopath since he's not a human, but as an entity he and most of the Apostles we have seen in general display nearly all of the symptoms of being a sociopath: http://www.decision-making-confidence.com/sociopath-symptoms.html
Maybe I'm reading to much into this, but Griffith is giving me a lot of vibes similar to Father from Fullmetal Alchemist.
