Tripas said:What I'm most interested to see is the consequences of this event. The street has become a battleground. How will people react to this? Whatever happens, I clearly see Griffith sending a false message to the masses, in order to mantain the control.
Griffith said:I'm wondering how they're supposed to escape at all, Garuda or not, if the Zodd Squad gets on their trail.
Plus, Rakshas likely knows where they're going anyway

Tripas said:I liked much more Rakshas' old mask, but still he has got a cool one!
Lithrael said:Yeah, I'm curious about this too. And about what kind of reprimand Rakshas will get for starting such a fight in the city, or if he'll be excused since it was with non-citizens, or if he is generally excused for being Rakshas.

Griffith said:Plus, Rakshas likely knows where they're going anyway (Zodd + Rakshas, True Detective season 3).
Walter said:Final page of next episode: Griffith raises his hand, holding Zodd back as Rickert, Erica, Silat and the Tapasa make off on Garuda. Shit — that's a lot of people on poor Garry's back!
As long as Griffith himself doesn't appear in front of the nameless others in town, it's no skin off his back if Rickert and the others escape.

Lithrael said:It's just occurred to me that if it ever turns out that anyone besides moonlight boy can use the world tree network to get around, it'll make the Berserk 'world map' a heck of a lot smaller.
Though I don't recall if Griffith has gone anywhere very far since the tree went up
Aazealh said:I actually wonder if we'll get to see the aftermath of all this. Both from the citizens' point of view as well as a possible talk between Griffith and Rakshas about it. It would certainly be interesting, but I could also see Miura not bothering with it, which would help keep us in the dark a little longer about Falconia's dirty secrets.
Aazealh said:I don't imagine it'd be much more than a slap on the wrist. Although I'd love seeing Femto rough him up in the process, force-blasting him into a wall with a pupil's contraction.
Aazealh said:It's true, we haven't talked much about the new mask, given all that went down. I agree it's not as badass as the previous one, but I enjoy its flamboyance. And it also makes sense in a way that he was actually wearing the better one to begin with.
Aazealh said:I wonder what Zodd's been up to, actually. It's kind of suspicious than we haven't seen him, especially since we've seen all the others. I wonder if he's out there in the wild (or in Skellig?! ) massacring astral creatures. Fantasia must be a wet dream for him in that regard, well worth serving Griffith for that alone: the prospect of countless battles.
Aazealh said:Would he have leave to go away for an extended period of time, though? And in order to hunt Rickert down, which might go against Griffith's wishes?
Walter said:Pff, how could I forget?
...I did.

Griffith said:Well, let's be real, the whole excuse of and design for his new, bigger, more flamboyant mask is really meant to compliment his apostle form. To that end it's perfect, too; even the ruffles compliment the texture of his body now.
Griffith said:With the disclaimer we don't yet know the extent and effectiveness of its defenses, it's already not such a great "hiding" place; if they want them, they'll know where to find them, in any case.
Aazealh said:Is that how you see it? I think the old mask would have worked just as well. In my opinion, all these events were made to provide for cool battles and cool reveals about Rakshas, and the new mask's design is only an accessory to that.

Wenliinvictus said:Didn't Griffith fly under a full moon when he rescued Charlotte?
Griffith said:Well, yeah, so I don't think it's a coincidence, except in the story's continuity, that he got a new mask in the same episode we see his "new" body, and I'd be surprised if the new mask wasn't designed first and foremost for his transformed state (probably originating with prospective designs of it), but I'm also not sure we see things so differently.
Griffith said:I'm not saying the old mask wouldn't have worked, but it also wouldn't have helped differentiate his transformation from his iconic "human" appearance like the new mask does, precisely in the spirit of revelation you mentioned.
Griffith said:I even think the old mask had more of a human quality, particularly the eyes, befitting Rakshas' strange and sinister personality, while this one is more primal and animalistic, befitting a depiction of a demon, beast, or monster
Aazealh said:My point is just that I don't think the previous fight with Rakshas was simply an excuse to introduce a new mask to complement his apostle form. That Miura intricately crafted the whole series of events to fit together perfectly is a given though.
Aazealh said:That's... going a bit too deep for me man.
Runner said:I agree that the fire extinguisher/flamethrower isn't a version of Chekhov's gun, but there is one here: It's the horse-eating monster that Daiba keeps.
Runner said:Miura really knows how to build up the drama. I was impatient for the manga to get back to Guts & Co., but now I'm drawn back to this side of the story.
