So, dwarfkicker, are you still saying Guts had no good reason to activate the armor? And do you see that the Beast of Darkness is staying chained and in the dark?
Aazealh said:I love the shot of Casca looking up while he glances back at her. Says it all really. Farnese's hand trying to stop him is great as well.
dwarfkicker said:Oh no, he definitely needed it. That situation seemed much, much more hopeless than the last time he used it.
dwarfkicker said:I didn't see a date for the next episode. Break time?
Imperator Perpetuo said:I love that too. It reminds me of episode 278 where Serpico unwittingly reminds Guts of what's truly important in his life. It's those seemingly insignificant moments that hold the most power, as far as the evolution of Guts' character is concerned.
Aazealh said:However, the break shouldn't be too long since volume 35 has been announced for September 29 on YA's website (click to see the page). That means the break shouldn't last more than 3 issues since one episode is missing to complete the volume.
dwarfkicker said:I have a strong feeling that Guts, while starting off with a bang here, is gonna be a mangled mess once the battle is over. Poor guy...
Rhombaad said:I can't wait to see what Vol. 35's cover will look like. Think it'll involve Guts fighting the tentacles?
On the other hand, he's got at least 10 more slugs to take care of... And then there'll still be the Sea God.
dwarfkicker said:As desperate as this situation seems, I'm thinking the Sea God is going to be gigantic, and that much tougher for Guts deal with. This is going to be quite the spectacle.
dwarfkicker said:I'm thinking Gears of War 2 here, like when they went into the Worms body to take out it's hearts, or when they went into the mouth of the fish to cram grenades down it's throat. With Guts as he is at the moment, that isn't something I'd rule out him attempting to do (take it out from the inside).
Proj2501 said:The panel of Guts look up at Schierke is a bit ominous.
Proj2501 said:Almost forgot, if the Sea God does indeed awaken and it's the size of an island, it might be more than even the can handle. I'm thinking it'd be a great chance to see Skull Knight.
Then see Uncle Skully beat the Beast back into submission. vs
Aazealh said:I'm wondering if the shots of his muscles won't serve to show the flipside later as he aches all over or something like that.
Mage said:I was just glad it didn't show his muscles, tendons, and ligaments getting torn...the way his joints are getting stressed, I wouldn't be surprised at seeing them rupture.
Rhombaad said:I love how the Pirate Boss' first mate continues to get chewed on, this time by one of the tentacles. Miura's sense of humor is the best.
dwarfkicker said:As amusing as the pirate boss is i think this should be the battle where he finally meets his end. You can only escape death so many times ya know.
Proj2501 said:Yeah, I doubt we'll see much more of the Pirate Boss after the next few episodes. It's been fun though.
Proj2501 said:Is anyone on the Sea Horse in earshot of this mayhem? Use za cannons on the slugs! Or on the Sea God. Bad idea actually, they don't need their only mode of transport to Elfhelm to sink.
Proj2501 said:Now, if and when the Sea God awakens, is it possible that Schierke may try and communicate with it? (Like the times at Enoch and Vritannis). I wonder if there'd be any point as it's cleary a hostile/malevolent being. I doubt Schierke would be able to 'reason' (I use that word very loosely) with it.
Proj2501 said:I'd like to see post slug massacre and (Sea God?) an internal struggle between Guts' ego and The Beast.
CowTip said:Walter pointed this out earlier in the preview, but I love how throughout the episode Magnifico never really changes his look.
Yeah. It was from the german Wikipedia. But it was quoted from a encyclopedia. But next week i will head to a library to get some facts that are even more convincing than the wikipedia entry. i will also look if it's right what was said in the sources! But for now it's the german wikipedia with the sources of Näsström S. 45.Aazealh said:Is that so? Could you please share your sources on that? Thanks in advance!
Mhm yeah, somehow you're right. It was a fanboyish happyness and geekdom as i searched for the psychological symbol of the dog.Aazealh said:Yeah but don't you see the flaw in the fact you were searching for negative symbolism associated with dogs in the first place? It's not surprising you found what you were searching for. That's what I was trying to point out. There's no pertinence in a directed search returning generally matching results.
We don't know if he knows, there is given some ample scope! But how should he know that she would be related to the skull knight? Even Zodd seemed to be surprised. But it is out of the question that she was still powerful.Aazealh said:But did he know? She was affiliated with the Skull Knight, a known and acknowledged enemy. She was near and still powerful. He took action. That speaks for itself.
Yeah that the apostles were surprised, is a fact that is going against my theory. Damn! But Griffith is envious of guts. Before the eclipse takes place you could definitely feel that envy. He is totally destroyed. And guts drove him tot that place. Even if femto/griffith is very powerful he is holding that back in his mind. this envy.Aazealh said:Hahaha, are you serious? Griffith dismissed Guts in volume 22 just like he did in volume 3. He's been going out of his way to make Guts feel powerless and insignificant, almost irrationally so. He really hasn't treated Guts like a threat so far (and it might eventually turn out to be his undoing, like I've said many times before).
And the apostles were surprised to see Guts there, even more surprised when he donned the armor (one could argue Zodd was shocked), and explicitly said their mission was to kill Flora. Guts was more of a distraction for Grunbeld than anything.
