Wow, dude.
You're certainly focusing on some fascinating things in the midst of this world-changing event.
when you put it that way...

Malachai said:Is it just me or does Guts face look a little elongated? Maybe that's just the a preview distortion...
Malachai said:Also, why do you suppose the white in his hair disappears when the light washes over him?
Malachai said:Hydras....Unicorns...Harpies...
Malachai said:DRAGONS.
Rhombaad said:Since Kundalini and the like may very well show up, think the Elemental Kings will? I wonder how the merging of the worlds will affect Schierke's magic...
Proj2501 said:I wonder. It'd be nice for there to be something that poses a new threat to Griffith or an even greater one than Ganishka (well he never really was one). Perhaps the Elemental Kings may play some role again. It'd be something else.
Malachai said:Also, why do you suppose the white in his hair disappears when the light washes over him?
Malachai said:Further, i wonder if this light will do anything to casca? Or even, if this light will have a different effect on people with the brand?
Malachai said:DRAGONS.
*hopes to soon see the reality of the volume 3 cover*
Rhombaad said:Those are sirens, not harpies. The two are often confused.
Aazealh said:Sirens would be at sea and even then that's hypothetical, but the creatures we see in the preview might very well be harpies.
Rhombaad said:That's true, Miura doesn't always follow classical mythology. He usually ends up doing his own thing.
Aazealh said:Well I think what we've seen is pretty close to the mythological description of harpies, don't you? Anyway, they kind of remind me of the bird apostle we saw in episode 301.
Rhombaad said:Yeah, but I think the two can both be described as bird women, although these being over land is probably closer to the description of harpies, since sirens were sort of allocated to one particular island.
cryo said:hydra and unicorns, cool! even though i'm excited about these new developments, i'm also a bit worried about the direction Miura might take it in, here's to hoping it won't be too 'bland fantasy'-ish , but knowing Miura, those worries are silly
Aazealh said:Anyway, this talk about mythological monsters really makes me wonder which one of them we'll see next. There are so many possibilities!
宮本 グリフィス said:I wonder if we won't also see some trolls and ogres stomping around to establish a tie between them and these "new" creatures.
Deci said:edit: I thought about this earlier, but it seemed a tad cheesy. Does anyone think Miura might include vampires in this world? We know he planned on doing a Dracula story at some point, but I'm not sure if it fits into the world of Berserk or not.
Shadax said:It's been a while since I was really excited about a new berserk episode, but this one finally has the stuff I love again, and then some!
Shadax said:in a sense I imagine the idea as powered by humans.
Gaahl said:So are Guts and SK's chances of actually hurting the God Hand improved? Or did they just lost that little edge they had thanks to their special status (being branded / a spiritual being to begin with)?
Deci said:Going on speculation, I'm curious to see if Griffith's apostle army will set out to destroy these astral creatures. Not that I see any real reason for it, outside of the fact that they're possibly powerful creatures who might want to oppose him.

Funkmasta Zeph said:Call me crazy but I was most fascinated by how it looks like Berserk's geography is the same as ours.
Aazealh said:Yeah, and there's also the fact that physically, while the sirens' appearance does vary in mythology, the harpies have mostly been depicted consistently, and those depictions fit the creatures featured in this episode remarkably well. It should also be noted that there were only three Sirens in the original tale, so that's a discrepancy as well. Lastly, their most important feature has always been their song, which was said to be irresistible, and we don't see any singing going on in this episode.
Judas Priestly said:If only the planet is covered in the light, then aliens will be the true heroes of this story.
CowTip said:There's an overarching idea in Berserk that thoughts all coalesce somewhere and take on physical form, right? That's what the whole idea of evil is all about from my understanding.
CowTip said:So, maybe the appearance unicorns, hydras and the trolls earlier etc. are all originally just a product of human thought? If that's the case, then just about anything could go in this new world.
Aazealh said:Honestly I don't think we can see much. What parallels have you found?
Aazealh said:Seriously, seeing the planet from space does bring back a few interesting points that are rarely discussed. Is the whole universe made of 3 or more overlapping worlds? What is the reach of the Idea of Evil's power? Is its power limited to one planet? Are there astral beings in space? And so on. Really tricky and awfully speculative topic, though.
