Void I thought would be a interesting character to discuss. As well as each member of The God Hand.
I know I don't know my solid facts here But Void in particular strikes me as a supreme being, beyond the idea of evil. Which, that probably isn't true. Griffith may very well be that also, but I recall for some reason thinking Void was the leader of the pack. Unless the Skull Knight rates up there with him.
I found it interesting that Void demonstrated just some of the bizarre powers we may see later on with the God Hand. Apart from creating a vortex, I think the power to create a portal to warp matter was very interesting.
I believe it was somewhere in volume 13 where the Skull Knight attempts to strike Void and the SK's blade is warped by a portal/void to strike against the SK himself.
I am aware that there are many pieces of the puzzle to the histories concerning the GH but I somehow recall that Void and SK's past were interlinked. Which just fuels my curiosity towards that. The layering of Berserk is so well laid out, that it enables past generations of the story to surface, even from thousands of years prior.
I also couldn't help but recall in volume 26 when Skull Knight rips open a portal/void with his sword in possibly the same means as Void had. Makes me wonder if "tearing through worlds" can be learned rather than bestowed onto a being. I guess in a way in can be learned because the witch had to rip into another world to summon a higher being for help. Which happened numerous times. But maybe that was just on a spiritual means rather than a physical means. I do recall that the "ego" can physically go so far before it can even exist. That even the ego would become lost in the vastness of the deepest realms/worlds. But does the ego count as "consequence"?
Again, I probably got my facts twisted and turned. But all the same I wouldn't want that to take away from discussing the character of Void.
