MaN said:Good point. May be it is the case then that the Falcon of Light is only being seen by uber-Ganishka and no one else. In that case all the people should be able to see the true forms of all the apostles "unleashing their evil".
I'm not seeing your logic here. Could you explain it a little more clearly? Ganishka right now is deeply connected to the astral plane and can feasibly see things not in the physical world, similar to the many instances we've seen throughout the series, including looking through the eyes of Schierke looking through Guts' eyes in the armor. But I don't see how that has anything to do with what the common people see here.MaN said:Good point.

Again, I don't see why that's necessarily the case. It's not like anyone here has fallen asleep as it's implied Zodd was during that scene in vol 17. That scene was "between dream and reality." But for this, I think you're jumping on the jump-to-conclusions mat too soon my friend.blueberserk said:I guess this scene just like what has happened in the past episode where Zodd's horn was cut by the same shape of the Falcon.
Walter said:Perhaps when they gather enough corpses, they'll begin to grow and change, similar to what happened with the ghosts at the reincarnation ceremony in Albion.
It sounds like you're thinking of things a little too narrowly, a little too small picture. This is the launch of the offensive, and sets the stage for the rest of the action to come. Try not to think of the episodes as islands into themselves -- look at them next to the larger scope of the previous eps and those that follow it.Shadax said:Thx for the EPISODE, but am I the only one who was sort of dissapointed by this one? I was sort of expecting...more, after such a long time. There isn't that much happening and the artwork isn't as complicated or refined as some others either..

Azaelian said:Will Griffith undergo any physical transformation visible to the common people? I'm really interested to see how Miura shows this battle, because I can't imagine Griffith defeating the giant Ganishka monster with his sword. I'd also be a bit disappointed if Ganishka were defeated by way of "spiritual evaporation" of sorts. Would I be the only one?
Ramen4ever said:Honestly at this point it's quite impossible to guess. [...] Another possibility is that he will create a projection of his astral being and everyone will see the Falcon of Light appear and fly through Ganishka. Much like in everyone's dream. There are too many possibilities.
Personally I don't really care, so long as it doesn't go something like this:

Oh and welcome to the forums Azaelian.

MaN said:Question of scale.... Zodd seems to be smaller then the one he is figthing/tearing apart on the last page but you can clearly see a few apostles that are bigger than the ganishka-spawns (I'll call them ganishkees). So I guess the ganishkees come in all sizes too except that they all look the same
Walter said:In an effort to move the thread forward, nothing has yet been said regarding what the Mini-Ganishkas (Chibiskhas) are chanting: "Gather... food." It could simply be their zombie-like appetite to devour everything, but it could also be the beginnings of something different. They could be carrying out a function rather than just be fodder for the Apostle Army.
Perhaps when they gather enough corpses, they'll begin to grow and change, similar to what happened with the ghosts at the reincarnation ceremony in Albion.
Azaelian said:If we assume that Ganishka sees Griffith as a being of bright white light, as he did before in the throne room, do you think that during the final blow, Griffith will defeat him as a penetrating light in the astral world? Will Griffith undergo any physical transformation visible to the common people?

Ramen4ever said:Honestly at this point it's quite impossible to guess. Griffith might just lift his hand and that could be it. Maybe he will summon a huge storm that will make the leaning tower of Ganishka topple. We have seen that Griffith can move incredibly fast and .. more or less defy physics even when he's on his horse. He might gallop up Ganishka's leg and stab him in the chest or head. Or maybe all he would need to do is touch him somewhere on his body. Maybe Griffith will ride Zodd like Guts did and fly right through him.
Azaelian said:You all are probably right, I'm sure it'll involve the falcon (and not the hawk, for whatever reason)
Azaelian said:There are also a few more ideas that this episode has brought to my mind... Sonia, having the gift of foresight, is still following Griffith as blindly as the other humans. Will she ever have a premonition that warns of his dark intentions, or will her powers not work against him because he's a member of Godhand?
Walter said:Wow, some great shots I don't think I've ever seen, notably the one with Farnese in the moonlight.
MaN said:I wonder if there is a possibility of another eclipse at the end of this battle. I don't see any real reason since femto is already reincarnated (or whatever you want to call it) as the hawk but it would be a grand climax to the ensuing events.
MaN said:Plus we don't know much about Ganiskha's past, his beherit (I am assuming he has one) and I can see a 5 episode flashback about his past as he lays defeated, pleading to god hand.
Ahh, I always forget about the posters. I don't have the GUTS to take them out of the manga, so I just look at them once and then they just stay folded up.Aazealh said:It's Serpico, and it's included as a poster in volume 30. It's also been available as one of our avatars for 2 years and a half.
Aazealh said:A quick side note to the discussion, but there's a small exhibition of Miura's work taking place in a shop in Akiba to celebrate the release of volume 33. Here are some pictures of it:
puella said:Thank you for the information.
In addition, they say the illustrations will be changed during the exhibition's duration (which started on October 24).

On the flip side the fact that Griffith wants to protect the pontiff and Charlotte works against this scenario .
SaiyajinNoOuji said:which is more plausible since Ganishka went into the other layers with out anyone's permission ().
I believe Saiya just meant Ganishka bypassed the normal transportation method with his own, reckless, passing on the left maneuver, and the cops might pull him over.Ramen4ever said:Somehow I doubt Ganishka actually went against the will of the Idea of Evil. Whats more likely is that he is just a pawn in the grand scheme of things.
To allow Ganishka to bring this massive swell of evil into the world, as we've been saying in the past 3 episode threads (and in this thread as well). Since Sonia uttered that phrase ("The principles of this world will now end.") in 295, it's been pretty clear this spilling of evil is the beginning of the end for the old world order, which is precisely what Griffith, and by association, the God Hand, have been planning all along.So why did he not kill Ganishka as well at their previous encounter?
