Berserk subtly shifts its thematic and emotional focus on a very consistent basis. The Golden Age arc dealt with making bonds, overcoming trauma, and finding one's own path in life. The Conviction arc dealt with morality and crisis of faith, and taming one's shadow, leading Guts to realize that keeping Casca safe takes priority over revenge. The FotME arc had the side-characters see more prominence as Guts began to make peace with the fact that in his situation he
needs to rely on others and work as a team (which he didn't really do while being in the Band of the Falcon, always being more of a one-man-army unit), which at this point is more of a family to him—much more so than his old band. It also laid the groundwork for establishing Griffith as an entity which is not only juxtaposed to Guts in principle, but also in the image he is projecting: where Guts appears as a black agent of destruction leaving death in his wake, Griffith is a white symbol of security and virtue (even though in truth it's almost completely opposite), which fundamentally changes the nature and drives up the stakes of their personal conflict. This is being further elaborated in the current arc, and here we will also be dealing with how Guts and Casca will decide to continue, considering what they've both gone through. On the one hand, Guts doesn't want to leave Casca alone anymore, but as it stands, he personally can't do anything more at this point, and if he were to go for Griffith, he'd still need help from his comrades. But would it be right to have them risk their lives for his personal matters, and would it be right to ruin the stability the citizens of Falconia have gotten to enjoy?
With the appearance of the Moonlight Boy, the next chapter or two are very likely to be pivotal for the arc, and the development of the story in general. If he is confirmed to be sharing the body with Griffith, it will create a very difficult dilemma for Guts.
I get that the release schedule is agonizing, but the story has been progressing quite steadily since they've arrived at Elfhelm.
