So I was (unsuccessfully) preaching Berserk to my friends as usual and a fun though crossed my mind. I noticed that the main reason no one I know bothers to read it is because it takes too long to figure out If they actually like it once they actually give it a go. So the question I asked myself was, "What is the least number of episodes I need to get them into berserk, and which ones are they?" And since there is not many Berserk related things going on at the moment, I wanted to share my thoughts!
Let's assume that our friend has the attention span of a goldfish, and wouldn't bother reading enough volumes on his own without us showing him something good.
Let's also try to avoid any major spoilers like the Eclipse (Which, while shocking, would ruin the following reading experience)
So if you had to show someone "What berserk is" in the least amount of episodes, how many would you need and which ones would you choose?
I personally think that I would choose the episodes
(P.S. I know that it's quite a meaningless question, since it's impossible to portray the essence of berserk in a bunch of episodes, but I thought it would be a fun game! I myself struggled to pick )

329-331. It gives a nice glimpse of Gut's character, is quite a small story that doesn't give away too much, is full emotion and violence, and the artwork is gorgeous!
