*Ahem*
Btw Joseph... I hope your name doesnt clash with me 
The huge difference in our avatars should prevent any confusion.
That and the fact that in two months it's no more new Vagabond, even in the states; I'va been spoiled on a volume a month. Considering it's the other of the two manga/comics I have any interest in following... well, I guess it's good for my focus on Berserk. =)
Whats the other?
Well, it may just be his noble upbringing and lack of recent experience with his sister, but Magnifico sure was being an asshole; he was more condescending than their father.
Really? It's possible but she did fuck up alot like her father more or less says, but prehaps he was trying to overlook it as best as he could.
And I have this strange desire to see Guts stroll into the masion in his filthy, bloody black armor and ask, "Hey, you, where's Farnese?"
It's been a while since he stormed a castle. 
Hope so, I think most people here have become acquired to her presence in the group. Regardless I don't believe she won't end up in the story eventually, she has been learning magic and just getting used to the dark lifestyle travelling with Guts.
Regardless Farnese seems to be the type to stick to her word, and I'm sure her brother would be no exception to this. For her to join the group again would be to dismiss the deal she made with her brother, now some kind of understanding from both sides could be made to do this meaning both siblings end up happy.... thats not the Berserk way though. If Griff is right then that could mean Magnifico truely has dark intentions, making it more than justified for Farnese to join Guts and the rest again without guilt on her conscience. I look forward to finding out.
We at least know for sure that this is very much against Farnese's wishes, showing her sentimental affection for the dagger and mail made it quite clear if nothing else in the story did and on that note showing how much she has changed to be much more selfless person since she has been with the group. Evidence of character development is always a good thing.
Serpico wouldn't leave Farnese behind. He's like her personal slave toy
. J/k but he does know of their blood bond and he's quite attached to her, I doubt he would leave her. But this is all superfluous anyway because Guts and co will come rescue her in the next episode. 
That possibility can't be totally ruled out, incest is hardly virgin territory in the story.

Heh, yeah, that would be nice... not sure if it's going to happen though... right now.. guts is in such bad shape, I really don't want him... moving... at all... except he's going to have to... no way he's going to go to the ship in a stretcher...
He is probably more than capable to fight Apostles even now if he really wanted to, he is just being alot less reckless for a change and taking it easy.
And I do find myself wondering if Guts will come across any of the former Hawks who split the group after Griffith's imprisonment.
Thats an interesting thought, I would like to see that but it was only ever mentioned briefly around 20 volumes ago so it's pretty unlikely. On that note it can't be too much longer before the crew finds out Guts origins.
Can't wait for 252.
