Aazealh said:The text on it seems to confirm that Guts was healed when the astral wave washed over him.
slan69 said:I also like the color illustration, I also like the paint job Puck did on Schierke's face although I am guessing the other paint brush might be Isidro joining in as well.
Johnstantine said:Pretty sweet developments we've got here!
MaN said:hmmm about the rejuvination of Guts... I guess it further suggests that there is something good coming out of the inherently evil griffith . Guts probably appreciates but only because he is now in better shape to kick griff and his minion's butt.
Aazealh said:looks like the pirates had been following the Sea Horse from afar like sore losers
asmer said:Third fight with those pirates... But from what Aaz said, I guess this pirate captain may not be the next Silat!
Marik said:Moreover that does seem to overflow from the ship? the Ghosts?
Walter said:Hmm, I'm sure at some point we predicted a ghost ship encounter.
Walter said:Anyway, moving into the future, the "At Sea Arc." From Roderick's line "...our last look at land for a while", we very well may be spending several months with the Band on the ocean. What do you guys expect? While everyone and their mom has speculated on an origin/retelling for Guts and Azan to the Band, MY money is on a GHOST SHIP
Walter said:There's no confirmation as far as I can tell that these guys are actually following the Sea Horse though.
Walter said:If a pirate's evil deeds come back to haunt him, literally, I wonder what else will occur in this new world order. Sets a very ambitious precedent.
Walter said:Ah yeah, one more thing. Reading through vol 34 last night, I realized the last time we saw Guts, he had wrappings on his arm. With this preview shot, he's removed them, I wonder if that's the moment he begins to feel something, and what we're seeing now.
Aazealh said:The sound effect in the preview is that of a metallic "clicking" sound. Make of that what you will. Also worth noting is that in episode 305 he had bandages covering the artificial arm, but in the preview they've been removed.
Marik said:Yes I agree with Aaz, it seems that the ship is going to be ghostly.
Marik said:(maybe if this is happens, shark raider could go after Roderik again..)
Marik said:However I think that at this rate the pirates and their ship may have some kind of role.
Marik said:About Guts healed, and being sure that something is going to happen to his artificial arm, I can't just wait to see.
Marik said:Furthermore like Aaz pointed out, one of the most important things (such as eye and arm) to understand is whether or not the spiritual wound from Slan could heal.
Marik said:(But what is it under the pirate ship? A vortex? Moreover that does seem to overflow from the ship? the Ghosts?)
asmer said:To me it looks like it could be blood??
Ah, that's where my observations become useless -- translations! Thanks for the additional info.Aazealh said:I derive it from what we can see of Schierke's lines.
I suppose that's more of what I meant. It's quite a dynamic shift for these evil places to come alive in the presence of your everyday people, which makes me wonder what ELSE in the world has come alive. Term used loosely here, mostly referring to the example of the tree in vol 14, as you mentioned above.I don't think it's very different from phenomena we saw in the past, like I said in my previous post. Places where a lot of "evil deeds" happened will attract evil spirits (same for objects). The difference is before it took a branded person to make it happen, but not anymore.
Well, could be but it actually it looks more like the effect of a gathering of spirits to me. Resembles what Daiba looked like when Schierke looked closer at how he was floating (click). In this case though, it'd just be a bunch of ghosts floating in and around the ship. OR blood, could be. The quality is really too low at this point to make an accurate assessment. But really, blood ... spirits? Either way this thing is pretty evil looking, and awesome.Marik said:Yes, it looks like blood too!
Aazealh said:I don't see the relation between your parenthesis and the rest of the sentence.
Marik said:I mean that we don't know if even his eye and arm would heal as for the spiritual wound. The relationship was about the importance.
Aazealh said:Looks like blood given the way it's splashing out, but it could also be evil spirits flowing out of the place.
Walter said:Resembles what Daiba looked like when Schierke looked closer at how he was floating. In this case though, it'd just be a bunch of ghosts floating in and around the ship.
Walter said:Ah one more thing. I really like the depiction of ghosts in the third page. Very cute
asmer said:Could specters/ghosts possess the ship itself? So that they can control it? I mean instead of possessing the presumed dead pirates!
asmer said:To me it looks like eyes glowing somehow in that panel (another random.... and bad guess, probably )
Aazealh said:That's precisely what seems to be happening here.
