Epic.

Hard to say what will happen, but I wouldn't think they'd be so incapacitated for the remainder.

Neither do I, but I was thinking they might be in danger until they reach Elfhelm. Then again, it may have absolutely no effect on them other than the feeling that the world has changed in some way, since they already sense something is up.

Already a preview.

This is great, the Idea of evil is there

I'd considered how it would affect Elfhelm too, but I don't think merging the worlds will necessarily be a "roadblock" for anything Guts and Co. are trying to achieve.

Let's not forget that Elfhelm was already in the spiritual world though. It might actually not be affected too much compared to the rest of the world.

Quote from: Rhombaad on May 19, 2009, 07:15:13 PM

Do you think the merging of the worlds will have any effect on Guts's and Casca's brands? I almost wonder if the pain would be so overwhelming that they'd be in mortal danger.

They'll probably feel it. Being in mortal danger though... I don't think so.

Quote from: MaN on May 19, 2009, 07:17:07 PM

Seems like Skullknight just hightailed out of there. One wonders if SK had any indication that his attack won't work and if that is the case why would he continue with it? If the Beherit sword didn't work then does he have any other tricks left to face the God hand (other than Guts) ?

Because Femto avoided the attack this time doesn't mean the sword cannot harm him or the others. And really, SK's been failing at taking them down for a long time, yet he's still trying. The man is obviously quite relentless. And patient. Very, very patient.

Quote from: MaN on May 19, 2009, 07:17:07 PM

Any speculations what might have happened to the beherit that changed Ganishka? Have there been instances where the beherit just disappeared after the apostle was killed/liberated? I wonder if Daiba will pick it up again.

Who knows? Daiba might be carrying as we speak. Or maybe it went its way long ago. Beherits do their own thing.

Quote from: Marik on May 19, 2009, 07:33:55 PM

Maybe Femto was mocking him saying "Dokuro no Kishi"?

How would that be mocking him at all? It's not like it's an insulting nickname.

Quote from: Marik on May 19, 2009, 07:33:55 PM

Ahah

Yes? Congratulations for stating the obvious?

Quote from: Marik on May 19, 2009, 07:33:55 PM

Yes I know, infact mine was just a remark on it looking at the SK failure.(He assumed too much about get rid of God Hand)

You're the one assuming too much here. You don't know what SK thought or that he was certain his plan would work. He's been trying to destroy the God Hand for a long time, and so far he hasn't succeeded. Does that mean he will never succeed? We'll see by the time the series end. Furthermore, because Femto thwarted him this time doesn't mean his Beherit Sword cannot harm a member of the God Hand if it does strike him or her.

That's one way of putting it, but Guts would probably tell him to stop screwing around.

This. Anyway I must apologize for having hit seriousness. I have put

assumed italicized to express irony.

Haha, definitely. Actually, their next talk (in Elfhelm, most likely) promises to be very interesting. How would Guts react if SK told him he tried to take the Falcon down and failed (assuming he tells him)? Somehow I have a hard time imagining Guts completely giving up the idea of killing him.

Well it didn't seem so to me. And there's no problem with making jokes as long as they're comprehensible and actually funny.

So what's ironic about it? I'm trying to understand your reasoning here. It would be ironic to say that SK planned his attack so well that he got played like a fool. Saying he assumed too much isn't ironic.

Guts is going to have to go through some super powerup if he even wants to get to Skull Knight's level of not succeding.

Well, that ties into one of the important things I think Guts is going to get in Elfhelm, a higher purpose. I think his goals will come full circle, but his outlook and motivations will certainly change.

Ho ho! Seriously though, Guts has plenty of power already; remember, compared to Guts, even Skully is a finesse player, to put it in Basketball terms. =)

Is the episode 305 preview real ????
This is incredible !!!!!!

Coming back to episode 304, thank you Ganishka, you perfectly played, until the end, the mission you was granted by Idea of evil (you too, SK)!!
Rest in Peace Ganishka !!

A lot of people were expecting Femto will find a way to escape SK attack, and he did it so easily !!
but i didn't expect SK's blow will hit Ganishka...
SK has to train much more to match a GH....

Yeah, definitely. Forget the personal vengeance, he'll do it to SAVE THE WORLD!

Ok I'll try one more time.

Since SK is a VERY WISE BEING, (or am I wrong?), he assumed too much. Anyway if a sentence doesn't make you smile doesn't mean that is not comprehensible for others. Than if you think that everyone has your exact conclusion, it's fine.

Anyway if this explanation doesn't satisfies you I cannot help anymore.

I'm sure if it wasn't for Skull Knight's interference, Femto could have achieved the same... with his claws!

TheBranded1 · « **Reply #70 on:** May 19, 2009, 09:54:31 PM »

Finally had the time to read 304! Just as all of you I am amazed and relieved to see after skully's attack from 303. I was just just speculating in the last thread about how the last panel in 303 left me curious if indeed the slash hit Femto or not. I know now the results now, and I was still surprised. Now we have another bundle of pics to make more speculations. The 10-11 page reminded me of the space shuttle's thrusters as they are about to make lift off and then the big bang afterwards. Of course in a colossal scale.

Thanks Miura for taking your time and delivering such wonderful art!

EDIT: It was more like gold tending griff

I don't know, but if this really is world encompassing, I don't know if I'd really want to be out in the middle of the ocean in case this all precludes to some sort of crazy monster infestation. But yes, all in all, I agree that this would be a very good time to go back to Guts and company. I'm crossing my fingers!

Considering the Sea's connection to the astral world i'm fairly curious to see the outcome of this....

Its interesting to me that while Miura show's us a clear change in the outward appearance of the humans (in which they all look like they've entered astral projections of themselves ala magic) we don't see any apostles? Are they going to change?

Heh, you don't suppose Rakshas jumped onto SK when Zodd attacked him do you?

Very very interesting.

Heh, you don't suppose Rakshas jumped onto SK when Zodd attacked him do you?

I thought of that too because it would be easy to lose him in the similarly ragged draping around Skull Knight's horse, would be really cool, and mostly because we still don't know what the hell he was doing up there, other than observing. That said, Rakshas being able to pull that off without SK knowing seems as far-fetched to me as Skully hitting Femto completely unawares: unlikely to succeed. Still, it's right up Rakshas alley, and we don't know the full extent of his stealth abilities. In any case, it's amusing to imagine him hiding under Skully's horse all the way to Elfhelm.

Anyway, I'm curious to see what Rakshas role in this is; was he shown just to establish that he was in fact there, serving as a bodyguard, or has he yet to complete his duty, whether that involve Skully, Daiba, or whatever?

Maybe Femto was expecting Skully to show up and asked Rakshas to be their for that very reason?
