I was just re-reading some berserk and for some reason I realized I barely skimmed over episodes 287=288 I can't remember why exactly I did not fully read these (I think I was more interested in finding something else out for some reason) and I got to say these scenes where Farnese lashes out at Casca are pretty intense. So much going on here. Farnese has been holding a candle for Guts for a while and this is (as far as I know) the first time she has lashed out at Casca over her behavior toward Guts and shown any tangible jealousy toward her.
But my real question here is, do you think Farnese's out burst got through to Casca at all? Miura is so subtle when it comes to portraying people and their reactions and it is impossible to know what gets through to Casca and what she understands in her state. But Farnese's outburst was so raw and emotion filled I was wondering if Casca understood at all why it was she was acting that way beyond maybe the fact that Casca dumped water on her Farnese. Look at the panels Farnese looks fed up and at the end of her rope on page 5, but the scene on page 8 in particular is the most interesting because it directly deals with Casca's reaction, then Farnese's reaction on page 9.
What do you guys make of this whole exchange? Did Casca grasp what was going on here?
