Berserk Deluxe Edition: The Complete Hardcover Collection

Casca nearly gets raped by the pagans but is saved by spirits attracted by her brand before the Demon Child disperses them, the surviving pagans assuming Casca to be a witch. Guts kills all but one of the bandits, telling him to inform his master that the Black Swordsman is coming. Casca ends up with a menstruation-based fever during the Hawks' against the Blue Whale Knights, ending with her and Guts falling into the river when attacked by the Blue Whales' misogynist commander Adon Coborlwitz.

I am still fairly intrigued enough by the plot, but definitely not enough to look past the blatant misogyny and continued themes of sexual assault (which definitely feel very gratuitous). This is the arc that has the most in common with Game of Thrones, focusing on personal character dramas rather than constant brutal battles, action and lovecraftian horror being thrown at you left and right. A few days later, Guts learns that Casca lost her sanity from the nightmarish ordeal and that their Brands of Sacrifice will subjected them to nightly attacks by various evil creatures.

Please note that there is a ton of violence and sexual assaults in the volume and would advise against reading it if you may be sensitive to those topics. Griffith is in an irreparable state after being tortured for a year causing some tension between Guts and Casca.Griffith is rotting in his cell (good riddance), and Guts is reuniting with Casca and the rest of the Hawks to free Mr. In Albion, with the surrounding refugee camp in utter disarray from the starved and over-populated masses, Mozgus begins his task in the Tower of Conviction where "sinful" beggars are tortured.

In 2002, Kentaro Miura received the second place in the Tezuka Osamu (Astro Boy) Cultural Prize of Excellence for Berserk. Miura inspired me as well and I regard him for being the person who taught me just how influential, meaningful and life changing art and literature can be when I first read his series over a decade ago. After regaining his compassion and conviction, Guts sets out to find the missing Caska, the woman who set the spark on his self-destructive quest in the first place to try and redeem his life from all the horrible things he’s been through and all the detestable things he’s done in the name of love. Casca and Guts go into the dungeon under the Tower of Rebirth with Charlotte's help to rescue Griffith, finding him mute, crippled and horribly disfigured from a year of seemingly endless torture. This arc mainly serves to set up a lot of future plot points by introducing us to the Behilit, the God Hand, and the fact that even the demonic apostles are capable of emotions and having a family.It’s a shame that Miura’s masterpiece wasn’t able to be finished, but he’s created the most influential manga of all time that heavily impacted millions of reads and thousands of artists all over the world.
