Eluvei said:Oh God, please don't let it be the last episode of the year...
Aazealh said:Biggest cliffhanger ever?
It's vague, but we believe it means that Miura has run out of the stockpile of episodes he's drawn in advance. So it's likely we won't see Guts again before 2011.Rhombaad said:By the way, what do you mean when you say YA is out of episodes/manuscripts?
Proj2501 said:I need to read this episode in it's entirety before really commenting on anything, but I'm iffy on the panel of (well, more the notion of) Schierke atop the Beast. Again? I'm with Walter on this, I think something kind of bad needs to happen to Schierke for attempting to 'cheat' the armor. Not that I don't love her, I do, but I'd like to see the Beast get it's point across on not being fucked with.
There could be more than meets the eye in this episode. All we saw was a panel, but Miura has always managed to surprise us, even when we think we know all the variables in play. That being said, I remain unsure what the Beast could even do to Schierke in this instance. Her body is safely on board the Sea Horse. And what we're seeing, as Aaz dutifully pointed out to me, isn't the Beast itself, but the Od of the armor, wrapped in the visage of the Beast. It's an important discrepancy, because the Beast is an aspect of Guts' mind.Proj2501 said:Schierke atop the Beast. Again?

Schierke began walking Farnese through the Four Kings' protection contract last episode, so yeah.Also am I seeing the Elemental Kings?
That presumes Schierke will be able to make contact with preexisting elemental entities. Would be cool if there were some around, but I wonder if they can coexist in the same region as the Sea God.Griffith said:how much you want to bet a similar method as the Guts/blaze wheel combo is employed against the Sea God?
Walter said:Still, despite it being implausible, I would really like the Beast to somehow make direct communication with Schierke. Give her a little scare

Griffith said:As for summoning spiritual entities, so far Schierke hasn't come up empty yet when one's been needed in whatever environment, so no reason to presume they aren't there too. Hell, let's just lay our cards on the table: Merrows, baby!

I thought of a post from Walter while reading that. We talked about what the Sea God will eventually look like and Walter suggested that when he will finally emerge the whole island is going to crumble in pieces.Aazealh said:You know what I'd like to see? Guts & Schierke overwhelmed by the Sea God, and then a certain "Superior Being" stepping on the court. Episode 319: Jan Anin (2)?
Walter said:However, I do somewhat agree with Rus here, in that when it does finally emerge, it will shatter the island by the end. Isidro noted that the island was oddly small. I wouldn't be surprised, but WOULD be thrilled if the thing fell into massive island pieces as the party escapes.
Aazealh said:But how is she going to go search for said entity while keeping Guts conscious?
Aazealh said:As for the merrows, I like the idea of their intervention, but I don't think they could be "summoned" like that.
