Summary
Warrior supreme Guts， the Black Swordsman， has seen better days -- and more popular -- in the kingdom of Midland， a land he once defended as captain of the Band of the Hawk。 But the Hawks were betrayed and slaughtered， and now the hyolier-than-thou Holy Iron Chain Knights have captured Guts and plan to whip some repentance into him -- literally。 But Guts isn't so easily held at bay， at when he manages to escape with the Holy Knights' leader， Farnese， as his hostage， the demons that are drawn to Guts' Brand of Sacrifice are all too willing to show her the teeming darkness in her own soul！

Heh， your face looks even more。。。tense now than it did before。 So if you didn't hate that much you wouldn't even be able to stand up， huh？It's definitely different from what I had wished for then。 But at least it's not like anyone forced me to do it。 I declared this war myself。 But。。but still。。。What's burning me ain't just this black flame。 The campfire from those days still burns in my chest。 That's right。 Wasn't this last feeble flame left to me all that barely kept me from being consumed by t Heh， your face looks even more。。。tense now than it did before。 So if you didn't hate that much you wouldn't even be able to stand up， huh？It's definitely different from what I had wished for then。 But at least it's not like anyone forced me to do it。 I declared this war myself。 But。。but still。。。What's burning me ain't just this black flame。 The campfire from those days still burns in my chest。 That's right。 Wasn't this last feeble flame left to me all that barely kept me from being consumed by the black flame。。。？ 。。。more

Brilliant！ Like a child from the cradle thrown into the horrors of the night。 Farnese almost get raped by the demon horse， a moment that will form the character arc。 She couldn't believe that there were horrors unfathomable to his orthodox and tyrannical religious ardour。 Brilliant！ Like a child from the cradle thrown into the horrors of the night。 Farnese almost get raped by the demon horse， a moment that will form the character arc。 She couldn't believe that there were horrors unfathomable to his orthodox and tyrannical religious ardour。 。。。more

This was something， its pretty much just Guts escaping from that lady Farnese after she tortures him， a little tussle here and there and the whole thing that follows his escape is something and then he heads back to the mountain to meet with Casca and others and then reaffirming to find Casca as she has disappeared and his last meeting with some others and then heading his own way， meanwhile some plague has hit Windham and the king passes away while in Holy see， we meet Father Mozgus in the St A This was something， its pretty much just Guts escaping from that lady Farnese after she tortures him， a little tussle here and there and the whole thing that follows his escape is something and then he heads back to the mountain to meet with Casca and others and then reaffirming to find Casca as she has disappeared and his last meeting with some others and then heading his own way， meanwhile some plague has hit Windham and the king passes away while in Holy see， we meet Father Mozgus in the St Albion temple and the execution of those who have rebelled against the priest and why is Casca there？ Interesting stuff as we see more of the brutality of this world and the terrors that keep coming！ Good stuff！ 。。。more

The reveal of the torturers was incredible and also one area where I can absolutely see where Dark Souls basically lifted wholecloth from this series。 Fantastic。 Also， I gotta slow my roll on these - I'm nearly halfway through the series to-date and I'm not ready to be out of Berserk material！ The reveal of the torturers was incredible and also one area where I can absolutely see where Dark Souls basically lifted wholecloth from this series。 Fantastic。 Also， I gotta slow my roll on these - I'm nearly halfway through the series to-date and I'm not ready to be out of Berserk material！ 。。。more

More amazing Berserk content。 The new evil being（s） introduced that the end are pretty damn awesome。 Can't wait for Guts to cleave them all in half and point blank hand cannon blast their heads off。 More amazing Berserk content。 The new evil being（s） introduced that the end are pretty damn awesome。 Can't wait for Guts to cleave them all in half and point blank hand cannon blast their heads off。 。。。more

Back on track after the past few mediocre volumes。 A lot of Berserk has influenced Dark Souls games and it comes out every few volumes。 Aside that， this arc seems like it will be gruesome and entertaining。

Okay！ Now we’re back into 5-star territory。What’s it about？There’s been a lot in this series so I’m not gonna try going into all that。 I’d probably accidentally spoil stuff。 Skip！Why it gets 5-stars:The story is very fascinating。 A lot of plot development occurs in this volume。The art， as always in this series， is excellent。 There’s some very good， impressive illustrations throughout in this volume。The characters are well written。 One thing I like about this series is how despite being a fantasy Okay！ Now we’re back into 5-star territory。What’s it about？There’s been a lot in this series so I’m not gonna try going into all that。 I’d probably accidentally spoil stuff。 Skip！Why it gets 5-stars:The story is very fascinating。 A lot of plot development occurs in this volume。The art， as always in this series， is excellent。 There’s some very good， impressive illustrations throughout in this volume。The characters are well written。 One thing I like about this series is how despite being a fantasy story with unrealistic situations throughout， the characters still feel realistic and human。This volume， while definitely not the most action-packed volume of the series， is still pretty intense nonetheless。 While the volume is mostly focused on plot， we still get some action。Puck provides some comic relief in an otherwise rather bleak tale and it’s actually good。 It never feels out of place。 Surprisingly， it actually helps the plot and emotional elements。This comic is not too predictable。This volume， I don’t wanna say for sure as there’s been a lot of heavy emotional stuff in the series， might be the most emotional volumes of the entire series！ Holy shit， this book got me。 This book really gets deep into the philosophy and emotions that most revenge action stories don’t get into。There’s some social commentary about how many religious organizations are actually just greedy and cruel but use faith as an excuse even though that’s against what their G/god（s） would truly want in most cases。 I thought it was pretty cool that Miura was able to include commentary about a fucked up reality within a fucked up fictional world。This volume dropped a “holy shit” worthy ending。Overall:I don’t care what the snooters of the world say， comics are literature。 Also， Berserk is a literary masterpiece。 Give me any reason to believe otherwise。 Okay， so art is subjective and everyone sees the same book in different ways but the way I see it， Berserk is a masterpiece！Not only is it a gritty， gory dark fantasy tale of vengeance but also an emotional story that goes in-depth into interesting， well-written characters。Highly recommended！5/5 。。。more

Vamos remontando la historia que había sufrido tremenda bajada de intensidad respecto al final de la edad dorada。 El dibujo como siempre de 10， y en cuanto a la trama estamos en un momento de introducción de nuevos personajes， por lo que va un poquito lento， pero desde que tenemos a Puck es un plus。 A ver que pasa con “frontón” y por favor necesito que vuelva mi Casca。
