Wow, really? After all this buildup and 19 weeks of waiting you want the big conflict to be left unresolved for another 16? Screw that. I want the TRUTH. And I CAN HANDLE IT! I'm expecting to see a new form of Griffith in the coming episodes, which was hinted at by the huge wings at the end of 297. After the showdown, we could soon witness one of the culminating moments the series has been building towards -- Griffith's coronation.Bekul said:What I'd like to see is the Ganishka/Griffith confrontation left ambigiously unresolved - a return to the ship, maybe a 'some weeks/months later' sort of thing, the EPISODE ending with the sighting of the island in the distance. It's been awhile since Guts and etc have seen any screen time, I miss them!
That's pretty much exactly what has already happened when Casca went overboard and Guts risked his life to save her and Farnese berated Casca for not appreciating Guts' actions.Gangstap said:
Nah, I don't think so. He's already realized that was a huge mistake on his part and resolved to never let it happen again. If it does happens, it will be after some huge tragedy, and he won't have control of his own actions anymore, somewhat like what the Beast was saying in ep 290. But Guts, the man, won't leave her behind.

Maybe on their way back.

Zerk said:This is my predictions for what may happen in the far future of berserk . . . I believe that once Griffith conquers Ganishka, and no other great power left to oppose him, he will become supreme ruler of the entire world; his dream of ruling his own country couldn't be more perfectly attained. After that, who knows what will happen to the world. It may plunge into darkness being under the sovereignty of a demon, or it may become a much better place being ruled by a graceful leader . . . one can only guess what Miura intends if this is ever the case. I think it will lean more towards an even darker world since more then likely after Griffith's ultimate victory, apostles will be known to humans, and the idea of evil becomes a real incarnation of suffering to humans.
Eventually, guts and company will make it to Skellig Island, and guts will be given the opportunity by the powerful elf king to restore Casca's mind. Going back to what the skull knight told Guts at that beach (forgot what volume), it may not be what she wants (referring to restoring Casca's mind), I believe that Casca is not insane, just her mind regressed to an infantile state to protect herself from going insane. With that realization, being the true man he is, Guts may turn down the elf king's offer and choose to let Casca live as she is, knowing she is happier and better off that way despite how hard it will be for him.
Now, it can't just end like this, there would be no closure and satisfaction for any berserk fan without further confrontation of coarse. Griffith seems to hold magic users as a threat to his sovereignty since he had already sent his apostle bands to kill the old witch, so no doubt his legions will attempt to invade Skellig Island. Many familiar faces will once again do battle with Guts, and I predict in the ensuing battles Casca will be killed. After Casca is killed, Guts’ rage and anguish reaches an epitome it has never seen which feeds the berserker armor enough to where he is transformed into a demon of an entirely different class; the beast of darkness incarnate, a self-made demon not influenced (entirely) by the God Hand. He becomes powerful and ferocious enough to take on every apostle attacking Skellig, and crushes them all single handedly, but in the process kills Farnese as a show of how much of himself he has lost to his rage. He then will chase after Griffith of coarse, leaving Skellig.
Guts’ friends and allies, who survived the invasion, will want to save him from total ego collapse, however there is much emotional grief and conflict with all the loss of life. Serpico especially suffers the loss of Farnese and wonders if he should uphold his promise of killing Guts should anything bad happen to her, which has happened. The elf king presents a plan to save Guts, one that involves someone killing him and putting his body into a very powerful suit of armor that will allow his astro body to exist in the real world, much like what the skull knight uses. This means that they must defeat demon Guts, who next to the God Hand, is the strongest demon alive. Only the Skull Knight is capable of this, and may very well have a duel versus Guts. Zodd may even join in on the fight to help Skully, but only to defend Griffith by eliminating a very powerful enemy.
Well, that’s all I got for now. I am sure though it will turn out different then that, but I hope it was entertaining for you Gangstap

Deci said:I've pretty much withdrawn my idea about there being any "major" character casualty in the fight with Ganishka. *GASP* Most likely some serious injuries, but not a death. I wasn't expecting there to be these Chibiniska's, and honestly that changed my view on that quite a bit.
I want more than anything for Casca to have her mind restored. I've pretty much convinced myself that this will happen. Her character is too cool to be left in the current state. I often wonder if some of the time Miura has taken during the breaks has been to research how someone who's been so traumatized recovers from it, in a realistic sense. I think it won't be an instant thing, but a slow, gradual process. Rehabilitation basically, like learning to walk again. I would easily pass up a couple volumes of fighting to see this alone. She could even teach Farnese a thing or two about being a strong, confident woman. I also think about the idea that Casca will want to kill Griffith, especially after she realizes about the Brand and what Guts has been put through the past years, which will restart the revenge quest. Crossing fingers on that one.
Want to see more Skull Knight! What's he doing during the epic battle anyway? I imagine he's close by. I ask myself if maybe we'll see him appear, perhaps to make a strike at Griffith. He's gotta be more than pissed off about the whole Flora thing.
As for "far off" predictions..
I definitely think we'll see Zodd and SK finally end their feud one of these days.
I think we'll get another huge turn in the story again, maybe not Eclipse big, but still really powerful and mostly unexpected.
I expect that Guts' inner demon combined with the Berserker armor will cause him to do something pretty nasty that he didn't intend on.
Hopefully we'll see more and attain more information about the Idea of Evil.
More background information about Skull Knight, as well as hopefully more on the God Hand members. Void specifically.
I think it's pretty clear we'll see an end to the feud between Guts and Griffith.
Something big with Isidro's character, though I couldn't tell you what.
Oh and Puck and Evallera will make elf babies.
That's it for now. =)
