Amazing climax to the Lost Children arc. One of the best fights so far, with Miura pulling out all the stops on the art, with a beautiful ending reinforcing one of the major themes of the manga as a whole, but in relation to a different character. All this to say that while Guts is fighting his own battle, others are fighting their own battles in different ways. It was a little diversion, some may even call it filler, but while I critiqued the beginning of this arc for not doing anything new or moving the story forward meaningfully, it managed to do just that at the very end, and very impactfully so, making it all worth the ride and ultimately resulting in some much needed growth for Puck and Guts' relationship.
After that, the focus shifts from demons to humans, starting the Binding Chain arc (or "chapter" as mini-arcs are referred to in Berserk). It's off to a good start so far, with some immediately compelling characters and interesting changes in dynamics, as well as what appears to be a different take on what religion means in the world of Berserk, especially in light of the fact that demons and, presumably, God exist. Great volume all around.
