It's also a nice opportunity for Falconia to age. One thing i ask myself is how we will get to see the coronation of Griffith after this new developemnt. [...] After rereading through some parts in Vritannis, i wonder now how a reunion between Isidro-Mule and Sonia-Schierke would be. The age difference could be kind of akward for them, but who knows.
Yeah that's actually one of the biggest questions out of this episode, and is why I'm circumspect about how the time lapse will work for now. There are several ways out of this, and I think it's too early to draw definitive conclusions.
The magic field was definitely a nice touch, i really like the designs of the scarecrows. Can't wait to see how all of this will look in the volume.
Ditto, I dig both the otherworldly look of the field and the scarecrows themselves, who are unique to Berserk yet immediately felt classic.
How do you think Schierke will be regarded by the other magic users?
That's another big question. Prodigy or outsider? Embraced or frowned upon? I want to believe she'll receive a warm welcome. I hope she'll be respected for her vast abilities yet be provided with opportunities to grow. It will also be an occasion to learn more about Flora, from her peers no less, and that's something I'm very much expecting.
It looks like there's a bit of distance between the three witches/ wizards and Guts & co. It could be possible they stop their attack when they see Schierke, a fellow witch.
The witches are not attacking so far, just watching events unfold.
