I've got a question

Hi, I recently just got into Berserk and enjoy it alot but I have a few questions:
1.In the whole scheme of things what exactly is God's role in the series?
I'm getting confused because sometimes judging from the statements the demons make it seems like the writers have it that they're somewhat working for him. Sorry if this has been asked before or if I'm completely off my rocker.

I'll try to answer to the best of my ability
1. God, or The Idea, is essentially the essence of mankind. But since man is naturally flawed, the strongest parts of mankind are greed, suffering, anger, etc. Therefore, The Idea is essentially "evil" in this respect. This is mentioned in the lost chapter. Ask around, someone might have it.
"God" is also called "The Idea of Evil" on this board i believe.
2. Well, since Guts now has a little witch following him around (literally), the witch (Sheirke) can summon elementals to aid Guts and Co. Also, many of the weapons that Guts and Co. have are magically powered by elementals i believe.

Griffith however, DOES have "demons" a.k.a apostles working for him, he is, after all, the incarnation of Femto.

I hope that answers your questions

btw, how far are you into the manga?

I think you can compare Miura's God Idea of Evil and the Idea which was predominant in Hegel or Spinoza's philosophy, I don't quite remember, being deep in exams these days. You should make a search about it, I remember having found many similarities not long ago, but well my head is fucked-up this evening. ^^

People had magic to help them like we have technology today and perhaps even better...
Things perhaps were cool but something happened and things changed. A religion that banned magic came on to dominate in the human culture.
Actually, the magic powers that worked for mankind and helped it prosper, got twisted. Humanity got in a period of suffering with the prospect of the hawk of light coming one day and changing things...
The necromancers are a bunch of wizards-demons that have been maipolating the magic onto the dark period. They call themselves Godhand...
These are Void, Slann, Ubik and Conrad
They have also donated super powers to Griffith, making of him an uber charismatic "demon" that humanity should be recognizing right now as the hawk of light...

Hope this helps

You are still 4 volume behind the current one, or 6 volume behind the current pace...

As far as I know, there aren't any major differences story wise between the english and japanese manga, so far anyway.

And because of the way you worded your next question I'm not sure what your asking, but If your asking what volume were up to in the states Volume four just came out not too long ago.

Or, if your asking how many volumes dark horse has liscenesd, I think they have up to twelve, but berserk's sucess pending they will probablly release them all... eventually.

As Mejumi Nomiko said there has been no real differences between the English and Japanese version. Same art, same words (just from Japanese to English, but still pretty much the same thing is said like in any translated Manga or Anime)

If they continue releasing them at the current rate, from volumes 4-28 since those are the ones out, I'd say about seven years.

Griffith became Femto to get cherry ice cream, but to more importantly fully realize his dream.  He felt that in his state he was in no condition to obtain his dream, but instead a burden to those who wished for him to fufil it.

The Idea of evil Is a peculiar entity that thrives of the subconceise desires of mankind.  He was created by human desires for purpose for life, and thus Idea was born to then plot peoples paths through heavy influence.
Umm, I think this is as good as I can explain. :-\

But if your looking for more it looks like walter explains many questions about the idea of evil at

Hope this board can help you find the answers you seek.

Well for alot of your questions just search the boards for your answer, many have been answered in the past. Two good boards who have asked simular questions are
Eclipses and festivils
http://www.skullknight.net/yabbse/index.php?topic=2165.msg40774#msg40774
and Grifith
http://www.skullknight.net/yabbse/index.php?topic=1569.msg28650#msg28650
These will more or less explain that the festival that is approx. every 1000 years is a regular occurance of the godhand, and that griffith2 as you put it is noothing more than griffiths new form.

Read volume 17, this is where the people are having the visions of the white hawk decending upon them, and where Zodd then has a Confrontation with the white hawk and looses his horn. This has nothing to do with the Band of the hawks reputaton.
