End of Eclipse (UNCENSORED)

When I watched the animated version of this for the first time, before I read the manga, I was confused to if Casca was still in love with Griffith or if she was being 'graped'. Also the demon Slain says," Love hate sex and pain", which is a song and lyrics from the band Godsmack. I think even the author understood some of the stuff he put in was ether abuse or grape for the sake of it and said that later on he regretted using it so often, but I also think it comes from a place where these things happen and they aren't represented at all because they are adult, graphic, and extremely uncomfortable. I don't think the vast majority of people get off on the grape scene or any of the abuse in Berserk, but understand later that its part of the grander narrative. Also, sorry ahead of time because you will be disappointed with the aftermath, but that's just because this might be one of the first times a narrative went in this direction. It's sometimes hard to consider the time period this was written.

Just want to let you know the Deluxe editions only go up to somewhere around chapter 307 or 324 out of the 367 chapters so far released.

Really great job with this!

Lovely words of affirmation. In the berserk fanbase, we have all resignedly waited for months to years for a single volume to drop, sometimes only a chapter. And you good sir. Dropping a video weekly. *Slow clap, builds to standing ovation*

I think you’re going at a great pace man. Just enough waiting that I’m always hype for the next deep dive

Now that you finally read Eclipse I can recommend this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g--zreRJMU&ab_channel=SpacedProduction

Hey Daniel I'd be curious to know what you think the reasoning In Griffith's mind was when he committed the rape, personally I think he was almost trying to prove to himself he's destroyed any feelings he had towards them but it could easily be interpreted as him being petty and wanting to hurt guts as much as possible, given that we get so few looks into his mind it's very debatable what his motivations are. Worth noting that it wasn't that he failed to kill them at the end it's that he saw guts and casca on Skull knights horse, hesitated and let them go.

That image of Femto/Griffith with Casca was the last thing Guts ever saw in that eye before it got bloodied out. Also I'm trying to interpret the arm wave attacks Femto did. The first looked like he used force-like abilities to condense the surrounding area into a ball, taking the demons but not effecting skull knight. The 2nd looks like he was about to do the same, but looked at Guts and decided not to. I'm wondering if he had some trace of humanity and let him go or if he just wants him alive to suffer more.

Just one correction, when Skull Knight comes down to save Guts, he actually attacks Void with a stab of his sword, and Void opened 2 portals, one for the sword to pass into and the other to come out of again to reflect back to Skull Knight. Basically he just tried to make Skull Knight stab himself with his own sword. Otherwise, this was a very real and very well said deep dive!
