Status Updates From Berserk, Volumen 18 (Berser...

I cannot wait to read the next volume!

I loved the Farnese sequence at the end when she was a child. Very artistic! I could almost see it move. And she is a very interesting character! I can’t see where her story is going. Serpico is also a very fascinating character! His mother was convicted and burned at the stakes three years ago! I wonder how old is he? And I wonder if Farnese was the one who ordered it? There’s so much there I have many questions

And I think it is all but confirmed that Mozgut is an Apostle and possibly their leader. It was interesting to see Slan in the fire at the cult’s festival. They called her the lady of fire or something like that. I’m so scared for what’s coming!

And that obviously means Griffith! He also warned Guts that he has to choose between fighting or rescuing Casca and Guts is determined to rescue her but if Griffith showed up it’d be a different story and I fear that this is what’s going to happen and I’m afraid of what it might mean for Casca.

Skull Knight is back! And he says that this will be an imitation of the festival/the eclipse. But it doesn’t have to end in the same way. And that the Godhand members can’t be present physically in this world but when negative human emotions swirl in large concentrations they do. And apparently when those emotions reach a critical point one is reincarnated just once in a thousand years

A lot has happened! But first of all, that cover is misleading! I thought Guts will fight Zodd again! But that didn’t happen. There’s so much going on I don’t even know where to start. Nina is basically in the same cult as the count’s wife/Theresia’s mother. Casca’s demon baby seems to be able to protect her and now they think that she is a witch.

I have a theory that the monk who’d been killed and skinned and left hanging among the refugees was the work of Mozgus to justify the arrest and torture of the refugees. He’s totally an Apostle isn’t he? I’m very interested to see where Farnese’s story go! I’m really enjoying the direction it’s headed to. People praise the Golden Age Arc as the best but this one is also really great! I love Berserk!!!!

It is interesting that Luca noticed the brand on Casca but didn’t tell anyone about it. I fear it’ll come out somehow and I’m scared that she’ll get dragged into it too. Nina’s monologue was beautiful! I really love Berserk so much. Did Casca’s demon baby protect her? It seems that way. This is very interesting! The setting of the monastery and the Tower of Conviction is stark & solemn, it’s beautiful!

"Tower of Shadow 1–2" and "Children of Shadow" were both great! I love Luca so much! She’s took care of Casca without knowing anything about her and without expecting anything in return. And the way she treats her fellow colleagues is nice. I’m afraid that something bad will happen to her I’m trying to steel myself for that moment but I really can’t. I hate this.

I am loving this volume and this arc in general so so much! "Kushan Scouts 1–2" was great! Isidro is such a fun character! I hope he sticks around (and nothing bad happens to him). Of course he’d find Guts cool! Everyone thinks Guts is cool! And Silat is back too! It’d be interesting to see him fight Guts again!
