| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- this anime is slowly climbing its way up to my favs ^.^ seriously despite being a fairly old anime it still freaking rocks, and im still enjoying watching it today. |

| Me too, djinn. The dialogue and characterisation seems really superb for an anime that's superficially all about the action. I wonder if Guts might leave the Hawks to become Griffith's rival? Another duel between them would be enjoyable. ^^ |

| Superb episode. It highlighted the depth of Guts' character so well. His speech thing towards the end had me mesmerized. |
| For someone who would die from their injuries if he carried on fighting he only had a few cuts on him XD |
 |
| This was quite epic. |
 |
| Epic shit. One thing thats been bugging for a while is that why isnt Guts caught yet after the murder of Yurnis (sp?) and his son? The guards saw what he looked like and his sword is so distinctive, surely they can tell who he is? |

Manifest said: Epic shit. One thing thats been bugging for a while is that why isnt Guts caught yet after the murder of Yurnis (sp?) and his son? The guards saw what he looked like and his sword is so distinctive, surely they can tell who he is? Because he killed all the guards who saw his face. So far Berserk has impressed me with it's excellent characters ( Casca has come a long way) and it's willingness to not be just another dumb action show. Sure the show is violent and disturbing but this episode is a fine example of how excellent Gut's is as a main character. He loves to kill, but the way he is portrayed makes him so much more. |

| Guts is funny |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Guts is awesome. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| This was def my favorite episode so far im starting to like casca a little more to |
| Fantastic episode. Guts is fleshed out a lot more and Casca finally gets to understand him a bit better. |

| The dialog between Casca and Guts was simply beautiful. |
Sabinlerose said: The dialog between Casca and Guts was simply beautiful. Exactly, what a great analogy, everyone bringing their own little light to the grander fire of Griffith's ambition. The greatness of this show has really sneaked up on me. At first I was kinda indifferent, but now I can't wait to see what's next. |

At first I was kinda indifferent, but now I can't wait to see what's next. Everything has already been said about this episode, I can only praise it some more, pure brilliance. Guts is one of the "brutes" with more depth that I've ever seen, what a character. |
 |
| Animators really upped their game for these last two episodes fantastic. I wonder if Guts killed the general or did he get away yet again? |
| The pacing of this show is brilliant. It takes its time developing the characters and their relationships and it works so well. |
 |
| So, now that Guts has gotten all carved up fighting 100+ men, Casca loves him to death and wants him to stay with the Hawks. Didn't she just say a few eps back that she didn't care if he dropped dead on the battlefield? Sent with Mal Updater |

| Casca is starting to respect Guts now |

She said it in the heat of the moment, she was angry. People say things they don't really mean in anger all the time. |

| Wow what a nice heartfelt episode! Guts is a great character. I wonder if Griffith is genuinely a good guy, or if he's just a master manipulator. Plus he doesn't seem to age so obviously there's something up with him... Also a great character Attack on Titan's got nothing on Berserk!!! |
| Boy women are crazy. Guts is an absolute beast, but the idiot general STILL LIVES!!! |
 |
| I thought Berserk would just be another action anime like Claymore, but boy was I mistaken. Guts is shaping up to be a fantastic character. |
 |
| for a second there I though Judah was giving Casca his secret stash... Magical medicine indeed. |
| Is Casca... a tsundere? . ___ . Guts is such a deep character. I love how he's not just a brute. His little humorous lines make his conversations nice as well. |
| Pretty impressive episode, it's good to see they're both safe and well the ending sure was interesting. |
 |
| Holy cow, this episode was great! The talk about the bonfire of dreams... it was... well, better than the manga for sure because of the voices and all that. It was such a wonderful scene! |
| Episodes like this one and the other about Hawks and Griffith (from Casca pov) past are exactly the reason I prefer this adaptation to new one. If only not for ending and rushed up beginning... |
| I am the Wrath of God. Who else is with me? |
| So Casca is pregnant right?? Epic fight! Wondering what happens to the Blue leader.. |

| Man the dialogue in this series is just outstanding, "Bonfire of dreams" that's just so freaking awesome. |
| This episode was far superior than the dialogue in the movie. And Holy shit I felt enlightened. |

| I'm watching this almost 20 years after it's release and it's still so amazing, they really did an amazing job back then |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I really like how Berserk shifts from episodes with brutal fights to calm episodes with beautiful dialogues like this one with Guts and Casca. It's just amazing. |
 |
| This episode was just amazing,the best until now. |

Light Yagami needs to find this guy and have a talk with him in the land of nothingness. |
| And still, Bill will live on. He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god. And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living, until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet. Until the sun is long since gone. Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open. Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from. He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out. |
| Dragging a comic relief character's story to three episodes. These three episodes made an inconsistency in the tone of story. But that last episode is something worth ignoring some parts. It's also classic cheese. |

| Another great episode as well from this amazing Anime Griffith returned finally! This should get interesting :) Ten more episodes until the finale. Also, Guts wants to leave the band of the hawk? Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Guts and Casca are just two tsunderes, I love it :) |
 |
| Not really surprising that he wants to leave that group after what he heard from Griffith a few episodes ago. Casca should leave as well, but I doubt that she'll do it. |
| Why the hell am I getting these feels? Its like i am going to miss him when he leaves the Band. Finally Casca has warmed up to Guts. |
| --AbiSa-- |
| I liked how Casca managed to fight back a bit before getting rescued by the band. I would've thought that they would reach Guts in time, to help him slay some of the enemies, but the fighting was already over once they got there. Is that Coborlowitz dude dead now or did he run away again? Because they didn't show him explicitly dying, I assume the latter. Guts gets (lol, guts gets, don't know what the linguistic term is for that but it sounds nice) brought to the camp and healed up, but the doctor recommends not fighting anymore. Fat chance. Casca gets fairy dust from Judeau (so now demons & fairies are confirmed in Berserk lore I guess) and rubs it on Guts' wounds. Guts doesn't really say it, but Casca gathers that he wants to leave the camp. Could it be he wants to do that, so Griffith would consider him his friend/equal? Or is there something more to it? I guess we'll find out. |

| This was a super nice episode for casca and guts fans. The 4 gatsu ost is truly incredible |
