Just so. It was meant to be taken more as a critique of people wanting old characters to reappear.

NeaR said:He's controlling the Kundalini, a being whose power is strong enough to be called a God in polytheistic religion.
NeaR said:Aside from the fact that Daiba is literally levitating almost every time we've seen him, he's had other feats that I think place him above Schierke.
NeaR said:I agree that Daiba has shown to have a much more physical prowess as compared to Schierke's astral-like abilities, along with pretty much everything else you said.
NeaR said:The two use very different types of magic, which Daiba even says himself.
NeaR said:I think that Daiba's knowledge and ability could even become very helpful to Schierke if they ever joined together, but who knows.
To say Daiba didn't see through her magic is a bit unfair, though. Daiba had no idea Schierke was assisting Guts during the battle because Schierke was in astral form the entire time, so he couldn't see her, but Schierke could see everything. She wasn't in danger at all, she could completely concentrate on decoding Daiba's magic, whereas Daiba was battling and actually in danger. I think if Daiba actually saw Schierke calling upon the spirits he could figure out her magic.Aazealh said:Meanwhile, Schierke, a little girl, has more knowledge of the astral world than he does, and could see through his magic while he certainly couldn't see through hers. And that's while he had the advantage. Their encounter was completely rigged in his favor, yet he still lost. Furthermore, she's shown to be a lot more adaptable than he has been so far, and her skills exceed his as well.
I know. I don't think anyone in this thread meant to say that Daiba sucks.Aazealh said:I'm not saying Daiba sucks, in fact I'm rather fond of the old man and of his tricks, but to say that his skills are superior to Schierke seems aberrant to me.

Bender said:I have not received my YA yet but saw these on Yahoo Auctions. looks like we get more than one, pretty cool.
SaiyajinNoOuji said:I know it was mentioned, as a joke, that Daiba was here as an infiltrator but would if he actually was? Maybe he has some plan in trying to revive Ganishka?

Tripas said:Hi, everybody! What a better way to entering the forum that with the return of our favorite series?
Gurifisu said:Is it possible that Daiba really is just a horse tender now? Are even Griffith's enemies being molded to fit Griffith's dream? I was wondering if anyone thought their minds were slowly being warped by Griffith's influence?
Though it could just be that the rest of the world has become a fantastical hell, and this is the last safe place.
Ryouma said:Seeing this is extremely excting but feels also frightning to me mainly because we expected and waited for that moment for so long. We may not know how it's gonna be shown but we know relatively what's coming.
Even if the city was modified to Griffith's will, what kind of revelations on Gaiseric, do you expect (others than subtle references) ? Do you think Griffith could have knowingly kept some important elements (physical or not) related to Gaiseric/SK ?
Walter said:I presume you mean the city's destruction? It might not end that way.
We don't know much about what happened 1000 years ago, but I can't imagine the circumstances were exactly like they are now. I think what's happening in the Berserk world now is unique in its history, because of just how special Griffith is.But... yeah, I imagine all those Falcon motifs will have to come down or be shattered by the end of the story somehow...
Walter said:From the city itself? Nope. I'd guess most of that stuff was scrubbed away in favor of the Falcon imagery. Maybe there will be something in the Tower of Rebirth though...? But perhaps Skull Knight will now finally shed light on his story, now that his former city has emerged.
Walter said:He'll be drunk on elf wine, wallowing in sadness after the events in Volume 34, and in that moment of weakness, Guts will make him spill it all.
ryOtoha said:can Falconia's rise and fall reveal/mirror some events which occured in the ancient city ? Again, I know the circumstances and people involved are extremely different (from what we know right now) but that idea is attractive.
And we can finally get that ineluctable Gaiseric >> Skullknight flashback
I really hope this part fulfill the equivalent of a entire volume.
Please can someone draw this

Walter said:I'm kind of torn on it, honestly. On the one hand, it would make sense as you say that events of that magnitude would mirror themselves (but causality is a spiral, not a circle).
Walter said:From old forum member Anchella back in 2000:
I'm kind of torn on it, honestly. On the one hand, it would make sense as you say that events of that magnitude would mirror themselves (but causality is a spiral, not a circle). On the other hand, there's no precedent that says the God Hand were in complete control back then, as they are now. There likely wasn't even a God Hand at that time, or that was the birth of the first. And that's a big factor to consider.
Gurifisu said:Well, the legends do say that 4-5(?) angels descended. If the angels are indeed the Godhand then I have my doubts that they were all created on that day.
Gummyskull said:I'm on it.
EDIT: Skull Knight prefers box wine.
jackson_hurley said:yeah but the thing is, we don't know if the 4/5 angels were god hand or not. And considering the explanation in the eclipse on how every member of the godhand appears at 216 years. I don't think they were all created that day. We'd be missing a few members if that was the case.
