Berserk - Vol. 42 Ch. 372 - The Red Raven Sleeps in the Birdcage

[R0dr1g0-Shin]

FCK U GRIFFITH!

 

[Wydre]

How do we know it is still Miura's vision of Berserk? Does someone have any info on this?

He told Mori everything he had planned on one night long ago, what we'll get is Mori-sensei's best recollection of all that and of what Miura also possibly might have told his studio, Mori posted about this on his twitter.

Well, great. After Miura finally had her become a character again, Mori has turned her back into a quest object. Wonderful. Just. Fucking. Wonderful.

Didn't Mori get a lot of story beats from Miura before he died. Casca might have always been going to be kidnapped. Especially since she can't look at Guts or even think about Apostles without having a panic attack. Hopefully Moonchild helps her with that mind control stuff next time he gets up.

 

[Harrisman]

Can we stop hating on Mori-sensei and hate only GURIFISU?

I trust Miura's best friend and Miura's crew about what Miura intended more than an anon, so I'm more inclined to believe that Miura genuinely intended this and that the idea that he's "objectifying" Casca is excessively reductive of her circumstances.

 

[rudezki]

It's so beautiful, so sad, and so anger-inducing.

 

[MilkDrinker]

It thinks it is the author's artistic choice: Casca is in a trance-like state, so memories are fragmented and that is reflected through the choice of up close and confined action scenes. Or I think about this too much.

I feel like this is a thing in general with the continuation of Berk, rather than this chapter specifically. Remember how Miura used to draw how Guts would move and all the funky stuff he did in his Berserk armor mode, this is totally different from that and the choreography is minimal.
I'm just happy it's continuing. It's not that big of a deal to me. Though I wanna check out Holyland someday soon and see if that's how the action scenes are done there as well. Maybe it's a Kouji Mori thing.

That panel that focuses on the cursed brand on her titty... I wonder if Griffith keeps her as a snack to complete his ascension

it's technically the same guy, since the character was based on him
LITERALLY GRIFFITH stole the Manga and is violating it in front of our eyes :V

 

[Slice84]

FUCK GRIFFITH
I FUCKING HATE GRIFFITH
ALL MY HOMIES HATE GRIFFITH

SO SOOO MUCH HATE!

 

[superdupermangatrooper]

First we have Guts in a fucking Yamcha pose and now Casca is back on her brainwashed bullshit. I am as old as this manga has been around and I'm sure I'll die of old age and they'll still be milking the story for all its worth. Can't wait for the flying boat to Femto's palace arc. I'm giving up on Berserk.

I speed read Holyland once and actions scenes are a bit up-close and old school but the actions transition and flow very well between panels.

They should just end this. It's lesser in the art than the original, the flow is all off, the writing subpar. It's like seeing someone wearing berserk's skin as a suit. I'm surprised over what a poor job they've done to continue such a big ip

The writing is subpar? Bruh we barely begin the arc. We just like get a tidbits of the overall arching plot.

 

[pokefairy]

Griffith reducing Casca into a husk like this is so distressing. What the fuck does he even want with her

 

[darkomantis]

Now the hope is this will continue monthly without another long hiatus.

Well the Hiatus is part of tradition if we're being honest (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)

 

[Arx724]

the flow is all off

If you mean the overall pacing: for better or for worse, Mori said he'd only reproduce what he could remember well from what Miura told him, with nothing to fill in the gaps. There's no pleasing everyone either way, but I can appreciate a bare-bones story completion.

 

[Kanami-chan]

soulless, faux berserk without miura

 

[ilcorra]

So glad to be able to still read it. Truly the greatest manga.

 

[SardonicJester]

Griffith did nothing wrong

 

[babugue]

How can someone like that freaking Griffith? I hope his ending is slowly and the most painful thing on Berserk story, ffs. I never despised a character so much! At least seems like Casca is starting to recover...? Somehow?
