I MUST BREAK YOU!
From looking around the net I notice that a lot of Berserk fans (especially ones who never read the manga) hate the ending to the anime because it is just ends with a huge cliff hanger (when Guts eye gets gouged and the screen goes black.) Well I heard that the usual seasons in Japan last 26 episodes. I guess that the Japanese producers couldn't summon the funds to make an extra episode or couldn't find something that could fit in an extra episode. I think if they made a 26th episode it could of brought the series to a full circle. I know they didn't introduce the Skull Knight but they could've introduced him in the beginning of 26. Here's how it could've gone...

Episode One Starts: Shows the lookback at episode 25 shows Guts blackout and then plays theme song. Episode starts, Skull Knight is fighting Zodd and severes his arm. Then he goes into the eclipse and attacks Void, but it's useless so he kills some demons and then rescues Guts and Caska, then he breaks out of the eclipse with them. Zodd and him have their little talk about Guts and Caska surviving.

Commercial Break

Second Half Starts: Guts has is dreaming about the hawks then he wakes up. He finds out Caskas crazy and then he runs into the woods, meeting Skull Knight and he is told about the brand etc. Guts fights the spirits and then him and the Skull Knight ride off on their horses. Caska has the demon baby and the deformed dwarf demon looking guy shows up and Guts kills him with the dragon slayer and he gets the Black Swordsman armor. He then heads out.

End.

I think that ending would've brought the whole story arc to a closure and in the upcoming episode preview it could show him walking into the town/bar in episode one.

How, Caska? How could you not pounce this man?
I don't know... I think that would have been just as big a cliffhanger.

"WTF? Where did the demon baby go? Who the hell was that skeleton guy?"
And, of course, the question that mostly plagues everybody's minds anyway:
"Does it end there??? What happens next? WHAT THE...???"

Heh... no, I guess not.

I know *I* wouldn't try it, at least. :)


That is true, too bad the anime tried it. (Even though it's still cool.)
I haven't seen the God Hand eps. I just read the manga until media blasters started putting berserk out on dvd for that ridiculous price.

I warn you, I have a katana, and I know how to fence... umm... yea that makes sense... REALLY!


'cause ya see, since I fence, I must know how to use a sword... and a katana is a sword.. . so I must be more dangerous with a katana then someone who randomly picks one up... um yea that makes sense...

well the katana is an exotic weapon, where as the fencing sword(rapier) is not .... you will recieve a -4 if you attempt the katana attack .... of course if you have weapon focus on your rapier, using the katana seems even more less than practical .... i dont like your odds ....

as far as the epi 26 goes: the dvd box set(chinese) i have has a 26 epi, but all it is is the videos for the opening and ending bands as well as some recap filler .... total crap ....

A katana is only an exotic weapon when used 1 handed. Its basicly a bastard sword +1. I'm sure I can bluff martial weapon proficiency.

Actualy, the fencing sword is a "foil" (haven't had the chance to try epee or sabre)

Fortuneatly, as a level 20 barbarian, I have hardness 4. The maximum damage you can do with those magic missles is 5... and thats because I'm correcting your stupidity.

I had a ninja sword not a katana (the samurai one) I broke it in half cutting fire wood. It sucked horribly, afterall it was a ninja sword made in Pakistan. I plan on buying a new one that's medieval.

No, it was always supposed to last 25 episodes. No mystery at all.

I sense such anger from Majin, your just an angry man but it is funny though...havnet played D&D in a long time... good times.. Anyways, I remember after watching the last ep of Berserk, I was just thinking...there has to be another one..there has to be another one...but then those damn music video's were the only one's showing up after that....bastards.. >:(
