Some Korean dude has been leaking their scans before we get the Japanese scans. The overall lack in shading quality lately has been because of the guy leaking them.

Anyway. Another bullshit chapter where nothing happened. It's almost like they went into the tree, then Miura started stroking his dick to the pereipheral idolmaster fap material in his home, while copy pasting and smudging dark penis monsters with his other hand. For what, a year? When will this pain end?

Seems to me that Guts explaining what happened will make her go Griffith Apologist right away, making it the impetus of the next few chapters to make her knock that shit out. There's no reasonable way she'd keep it bottled up right up until a critical moment against Griffith.

Also, Griffith killed scores of me he didn't even truly care if they lived or died. Is it fair to say that he doesn't even have half his real power so long as Guts, his real sacrifice, is still alive?
I mean, ever since the eclipse, Femto has not ever tried to kill gets, in fact he's let him escape some 5 times now.
He was quick to sacrifice his army though.

Do you think Miura's been watching some Made in Abyss?
That said, I am at a profoundly empty state right now. The first of many plot points which should have been dealt with decades ago has, for what it looks like, finally been dealt with. Casca, our favorite qt Casca, might finally at long last be coming home, and yet...I feel nothing.
I don't feel skeptical, though I'm sure Miura will blow this up somehow.
I don't feel joy, excitement, intrigue or anything.
I feel nothing.

The longer it takes the other shoe to fall, the harder it's going to hit once it impacts the ground. Guts has built a new team and placed his love and trust in them, Griffith is off doing his own thing while ignoring him, and Casca is finally looking to be on the mend. To me, this all points to an imminent singularity of Fuck that is going to rip the plot to shreds and leave Guts wishing it had all ended with the Eclipse.

Wrong. You cant sacrifice already branded people, but they tried to make Guts use behelit. And I think Slan tried to just make him demon while skipping whole behelit part. Might be wrong, since it was indeed fuck many years.

No no, I'm saying Guts will reach the pits of despair needed to use the behelit to make his own sacrifice. For the power to take his revenge.
And the RPG party will finally be finished as Guts goes... berserk

And I explained before, someone who is killing demon hordes daily does not need to turn himself into a fucking demon and how its not a fucking powerup for him. Its like a hunter who turns into a prey.

Probably hiatus and a chapter where Guts fights with the Hound in his mind with a loli butts floating around.
But siriously, he already quite close with others and he is probably has his baby as new chaos deus ex machina. Its not like he is lonely solder right now living only to kill. He has new comrades now.
BUT he is gone through the same thing basically before pre old band of hawk and pretty much when he went on training alone and after eclipse when he was lone monster hunter. He want through few "building the character" moments already and was back to what it was before all the time. If you think about it, its kind of sloppy writing. How many times Guts was almost broken? At some point you have to think of other plot points.
Also I fucking hate "now Casca has cursed hearth" Chekhov gun. At this point I dont think we need any more uncertain bullshit, we already have enough to speculate already, this shit is dark souls 2 tier bullshit.
I think we fucking deserve clean and direct approach after 30 fucking years.

I don't think Guts has ever considered using the Behelit, at least conventionally, to become an Apostle. He knows it's a way to summon the Godhand. His original intention was probably to use it to summon Femto so he could attack him.
My point is that the Count was almost killed by Guts, but managed to activate the behelit. He then tried to sacrifice Guts to the Godhand to save his life but was rejected because Guts was already marked as a sacrifice of Griffith's. So at the very least Guts and Caska are immune to being sacrificed again by someone else.
My presumption is that a sacrifice can't offer someone else as sacrifice, but I could be wrong. This point hasn't really been answered in the story.
>>799087
And if Guts turned himself into an Apostle he would just become another minion of Griffith's, which he doesn't want.

So assuming we don't get an never-ending arc at Fairy island or the boat ride back, is the only place left to go Falconia?
Anonymous 02/27/18 (Tue) 09:45:31 No. 799417
I bet when Griffith finds out the fairy king exists he will seek to annihilate or consume the fairy kingdom.
If that happens I could totally see the fairy kingdom being conquered and one or more of the rpg party dying and then seeking out rickert and the Russians grouping together.
I don't really understand how the behelit or moonlight child could be used however they seem like decent cards to be played later.
I'm I autistic for thinking any of this could happen?

Slan states that Guts can use a behelit, in any case a branded individual still alive and kicking is not exactly the norm, I still wonder if Griffith has full power or something when his sacrifice is still incomplete for all intents and purposes.
Take this one with a grain of salt.

So I just got around to watching the animated verson of Casca's rape by Griffith.
Really? Fucking really? That was the tamest, lamest, least violent rape scene I have ever seen in any medium. Are you fucking kidding me?
Maybe it was drawn differently in the manga, but the anime barely even qualified as rape. It damned sure doesn't even look like it hurt Casca. It barely looks like there any pain or discomfort. And Griffith is barely moving.
Thats it? That's what all the huff and puff was about? What a bunch of weaksauce shit.

The man whom she trusted most just killed almost every single person she held dear, raped her infront of her lover, shot his demon seed inside of her while she was marked with the Brand of Sacrifice.
Sure the sex itself could have looked more violent but please think about the situation as a whole.

Apostles have free will and autonomy. Wyald could have killed Griffith right before the Eclipse if Zodd hadn't been there to kill him instead. The only real control that is applied to apostles, and the only control that's really necessary, is done through the foresight of causality and the manipulation of fate to ensure that just the right person receives a behelit at just the right time for the God Hand's purposes. Since Guts exists outside the flow of causality, this no longer necessarily applies to him.

griffith wasn't femto then.
also, compare the compulsion that ganishka was subject to, as well as the other Apostles that felt compelled to obey him.
if guts became an Apostle he would no longer be in the state he is in now, so that's not an argument.
