Ok, I did a search for threads like this and came across a few that were either stagnant or riddled with chaotic conversation, so I took the liberty to create a new one for a fresh start.
Anyway, given the recent progression of Berserk's story, I think it would be cool to get an update on everyone's theories for the conclusion of the series itself.
Here's mine:
After the defeat of Ganishka, I imagine there will be a massive time jump to where Guts and crew are--finally--making it to Elfhelm. All the while, Griffith is establishing Falconia and bringing Midland into a new "golden age" or "age of prosperity".
As far as the details go with Guts and Co, I really can't pinpoint any specifics on the characters themselves. I imagine when(if) Casca returns to her old self, she'll leave for a while and then eventually come back because she knows she can trust Guts. The problem with that, though, is that Guts is such a tragic character so it's sort of hard to see her coming back at all(imho). As for everyone else, I would guess that, well, they progress to what they're supposed to be. Hopefully Roderick joins the crew. I like him.
Now, for my prediction of the end: Griffith now has his kingdom and his followers; the people of Falconia are now living in sort of a "false" reality because, behind the glamour and beauty of Griffith still lies Femto. Guts and Co return to Falconia at their maximum strength(skill, whatever, etc) and the unavoidable war ensues. Given that Guts is the one who really cares about everyone, I imagine that, with the death of Griffith, reality would set in and the world would go back to what it was before Griffith created his kingdom. It wouldn't be false, but the true reality that everyone is doomed to see before them anyways. I can see that happening to Guts because of his tragic nature(does the right thing, but at such a cost). So, really, the dude can end up being hated by everyone but, really, in the end he did the right thing.
Furthermore, if, like Walter said in another thread, the apostles DO divide into factions, I doubt the humans would be safe from either side. Those who would be loyal to Griffith would most likely kill humans if it meant killing another apostle at the same time. I see it as a double-edged sword: loyalty without the restrictions. At that point, though, after Griffith having attained his kingdom, I doubt the understanding between apostles and humans wouldn't matter. Maybe they even have underground meetings where the apostles feast on humans behind candle light? Who knows.
