And what the hell were the creature thingees attacking Rickert's group? And were they away from the the main camp or something? I thought the entire band of the hawk was wiped out but there were still soldiers waiting for the Griffith rescuers to return. Who got killed exactly?


I think they had split the army into two. One was the wounded camp, essentially those that weren't capable of fighting. That was the group Rickert is in and the one that got attacked. The remainder of the army is waiting for Casca, Guts, Griffith... etc to return as part of the recovery squad.

Or at least as I understood it

yes they had split the army one with the able bodies warriors to retreive griffith and leaft the wounded at a seperate camp.

the creatures that attacked rickerts team are all Apostles on their way to the eclipse ceromony. the one important thing missing in this anime was the appearance of the skull knight

BOY how much did I want Guts to kill them all! Hope he takes Griffith back safely then goes back to kill everyone! Fuck the king, this is why you can never go save a king without letting him lose a ear first.

Guts emotions felt really true.
Griffith is for sure dead and a new Griffith is born.

Did Griffith die at the beginning? The Egg pendant seemed to have made it's way back to him. I guess he really did sell his soul to the Devil to obtain all he desires.

A lot of his emotions are associated with Guts. Did the torture drive him mad or was it the absence from Guts? No matter if you like Griffith or not seeing him like that was just disturbing. Either way this Griffith may very well be a new Griffith.

What an emotional reunion.

Yep after one year of torture he would pretty much be unrecognizable. But Griffith is looking pissed or he doesn't know what to feel like?


Guts went FULL BERSERK!

Funny evolution for Griffith. He really came to dislike the importance he gave to Guts in his life to the point of blaming his "friend" for things he actually did to him himself.

So, spirits, demons & co. are out tonight? Is there a ballet?
At least, the Count had a " buffet" before the meeting.

This is miserable. Griffith is clearly confused but very happy to see Guts. He is unsure about being sane himself. I think he could still be right now because of the idea of Guts.. However have Guts make one wrong move and Griffith is going to become very vengeful. Im sure he isnt happy with Guts and Casca's relationship. Perhaps thats already too much? If Guts is still planning to leave Griffith this will be very, very bad..

It will be difficult for Griffith to communicate anything without his tongue.. Wonder if there will be anything left of the band of the Hawk as well.

It was OK, not that good tbh, a bit boring again

Once again, Guts bores me to death, while Griffith is the star of the show

Griffith is the most interesting character. I wish this series was never spoiled for me :'(

This was so hard to watch, poor Griffith, he's lost it all, his body is a mess, it hurts to see this. Guts lost a part of himself after seeing Griffith in that state, full of raging emotions, Guts went completely berserk.

Seems like I was correct about the demons, they're out, and will probably be a giant threat, considering they've already killed most of the Hawks.

@Memor Weird seeing you here by the way, at the very bottom of the thread.

Guts didn't even had a serious challenge here, looked like a regular warmup.

Seeing Griffith like that is just painful but seering Guts cry was even more painful than that.

Great and deep episode overall

Holy shit Guts fucking cried for Griffith.

But the look in Griffith's eyes is bad news.

I almost forgot about Rickert, what in the fuck happened there!
This episode was crazy af!

I can't get over the fact that Griffith wasn't punished for killing the queen and all of the noblemen but instead for fucking the princess. Sheesh that was excessive asl for that. I would've expected a hanging, not that much torture.

see, this is why i limit myself to one episode of Berserk a day because I'd be wallowing in sadness if I didn't. Did the one-episode-a-day-schedule help? NO! I knew what was going to happen but it's different when I'm in the moment. I cried for Guts when he started slashing the enemies to channel his rage and despair... I cried because I knew that what he felt then, wouldn't amount to the hell that he would experience in the future.

Woooooh! Man, this anime is really building up towards the end. I hope the ending won't disappoint. There's still so many unanswered questions and only 3 more episodes to answer (at least some of) them.

What was the demon thing that crawled towards Griffith in the beginning of the episode? What happened to Rickert? I assume he's dead? What does that freakin' Behelit do? What's Griffith going to do, once he regains strength? No more tendons and no tongue. I assume that means he can never walk or speak again?

Guts just went Berserk! Awesome. The look Griffith gave when Casca was cleaning up Guts... I'm on the edge of my seat, onto the next one.

This is where the pain train begins huh :(

It was a depressing episode but it's crazy seeing what griffith has become but at the same time, guts's rage was interesting to watch. I found it cool how the 1997 anime made it pretty clear that griffith was trying to choke guts at the reunion there compared to how the manga depicted the panel (in my opinion.)

Super good episode once again

Griffith finally realized he needs Guts more than Guts needs him.

So glad to see the horror come back for this episode. I've been missing that since Zodd.

Griffith is miserable, his body is only a shelter. First thing he does, he tries to strangle Guts. He believes him responsible for his downfall. But Guts only wants to help him, he does everything for revenge.
Casca is in shock, she knows that Griffith can't ever return to his old being. After that torture, the body can't possibly heal, not even with fairy medicine.
I loved Rickert vivid dream, it was so disturbing and beauty at the same time.
A masterpiece of an episode!

Wow, this episode went by so quickly, it was like a hack n slash with so much death. Guts is the best character in this anime/manga.
