More specifically, his original self Chidaruma.

It’s also possible the villagers wouldn’t (didn’t? if they ever attempted to explain in the first place) even believe that Tokio is Yamato’s mother, due to Tokio now being physically much closer in age to Yamato/Maru due to her multi-year hibernation (Tokio should be about physically only in her...

I feel like Yamato probably did publicly marry Tokio, but Tokio is not the person we see Yamato having sex with/conceiving Watage with. If Yamato married someone who wasn’t Tokio and had a kid with that person he married, like you’re suggesting, I don’t think there would be any reason to create...

Well I imagine the only reason for the rock baby ruse to have been done is that Yamato conceived Watage out of wedlock. So either Yamato and Tokio were publicly married, and Yamato secretly conceived Watage with someone who wasn’t Tokio. Or Yamato publicly married someone who wasn’t Tokio...

The person we were introduced to at the end of the previous chapter and who just took an injection of the medicine was actually an older Tokio. Why she chose to initially deceive Maru and Kiruko into making them believe she was Yamato, we don't know yet. But the person we met at the end of this...

I don’t what you’re on about, Yamato’s eye, nose, and face shapes look identical to Maru’s. But to answer your question, in real-life, clones created in labs may have different mitochondrial DNA than the original, depending on the source of the ovum used to create the clone, but I expect that...

Yes she had the bracelet, but as her family explained in this chapter (and as Gash also mentioned in in chapter 38), she never had the pact completed and didn’t even have the option to complete it until she was 13. Meaning she never had it in relic form i.e. the dragon gauntlet form giving her a...

She didn't have the relic during the battle to become king though? She only later received it during her 13th birthday. Also having Baō didn't prevent Zatch from having a Shin spell?

The conflation with fate you're describing is casual determinism, that is different from causality the concept https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality We also know that Miura distinguished between fate and causality because he has used both terms in the series and uses specifically different...

I imagine this sequel series is going to really get into all the potential future plots-threads Raiku set-up in the final Gash Cafe chapter he made with Gash's father and the Mamodo Spell Book. https://mangadex.org/chapter/6eda2a42-9d6f-49b6-911e-8f3e6a753f0f Especially since it was never fully...

The mangaka is obviously using upper estimates for size and population for dramatic narrative purposes, like how he’s using the absolutely largest estimated specimens of Steppe Mammoths. And it’s not like we’ve seen that big of an army, the numbers the series has been depicting is still well...

Griffith specifically isn't a "slave to fate" though. Berserk as a series goes to great lengths to distinguish the difference to being bound by fate and being bound by causality, the latter of which humans and beings are part of the current of. But on of the key essential points of Griffith's...

Genos’ rambling at the end reminds me of the scene in Satoshi Kon’s Paprika when the chief becomes ensnared by the waking dream technology that had just been stolen. Rereading this chapter with Susumu Hirasawa playing music makes it even better.

Don’t forget the Nazis weren’t just growing the population of a single regional group of Neanderthals, as stated in previous chapters they basically conquered and united multiple population enclaves of Neanderthals across Europe before finally advancing to Northern Africa. So this is just...

No, Casca really was just protected thanks to Godo's home and smithy being a former home of elves. Griffith never felt any compulsion to protect Casca until his merger with Guts and Casca's child. And Griffith specifically couldn't play his hero role until he had incarnated back into the...
