Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. However, it suffers from pacing issues, excessive violence, and insufficient character development, which hinder the overall reading experience.

Griffith is a godlike war hero that millions of people worship, yet he has the deepest flaws, insecurities and inner darkness than any other character in the entire series. Griffith is distraught at Guts' departure, and in a lapse of judgment he is caught sleeping with Charlotte.That same year, in 1982, Miura enrolled in an artistic curriculum in high school, where he and his classmates started publishing their works in school booklets, as well as having his first dōjinshi published in a fan-produced magazine. Despite these drawbacks, Berserk enthusiasts and fans of dark fantasy will likely find enough elements to keep them engaged and eager for the next installment.

Enough that I was looking forward to the next volume, which seemed a far stretch a few hundred pages ago. Now narratively this does make sense with the whole God Hand angle of them controlling/influencing things, but still there is this one point that Mozgus has this big speech about why he is righteous/correct. Three years pass and the Band of the Hawk grow in power and numbers as they are employed by the Kingdom of Midland for its Hundred Year War against the Tudor Empire, and Griffith rises in the kingdom's hierarchy after a successful battle.The arc was tying up loose ends at a very nice pace, answering questions that many readers have been contemplating since the beginning of the series such as the identity of Skull Knight, the origins of the God Hand, Griffith true motives, how Casca confronts her trauma, the purpose of the Berserker Armor, Guts finding the answer to his life’s purpose, the secret history and lore of the greater universe and much more. They manage to get Griffith out of Wyndam while fighting through the Kushan assassins known as the Bakiraka, the king refuses to let Griffith escape and assigns his retrieval to his most depraved fighting force: The Black Dog Knights. From his days as a mercenary to his time as captain of the Band of the Hawks' Raiders, Guts' life has been defined by his ability to fight and his will to win. After Guts learns Casca's story of how Griffith saved her from being raped by a noble and later how he sold himself sexually to a pederast lord to fund the Band of Hawk, the two are attacked by Adon and his men. After Guts learns of Casca's plan to rescue Griffith from the Tower of Rebirth, he ends up being forced to fight her as she blames Guts for Griffith's problems before realizing it was not his fault.

Delirious and horrified at what he has been reduced to, Griffith takes off in a wagon and crashes into a shallow lake where he fails to commit suicide.While Nina reunites with Joachim, Farnese renounces her faith and decides to follow Guts with Serpico remaining by her side.
