ive read before that miura cited Kaze to Ki no Uta as one of his inspirations which was high key questionable given the whole point of KtKnU apparently being overt homosexual themes / gay protagonists, and i get that this is just a fan translation, but like this wording just.., feels… so… explicit
“a different weapon”???? a different weapon
ya its super cool tht cascas entire point for still being alive is to keep guts connected to his anger and tied to his trauma when we’ve seen him growing distant from it in recent chapters. ya theres been plenty of hypothesizing about what will happen after this save casca expedition, and this like, leaves me w a worse feeling abt it than ever
these two things had me thinking, like, damn, miura not just accidentally a shitty writer, he’s actually TRYING to be. at leas t hes self-aware about it?
but then. then this
lmao fuck. fuuuuuuuuck.
i mean yeah i def got the impression that this sums up guts’ relationship to casca rn (like the hound directly says it) but fuuuuuuuuuck i had hope that she could move on from that role and do something better when she comes back. but ofc miura doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing with her unless it’s in relation to guts, ofc.
i mean idk this isn’t the be all end all i guess, I can still have hope for what Casca could be in the future when she gets her brain back, but this is a real bad sign scoob, and lbr berserk is a sea of bad signs for casca already.
like shit is she going to get her mind back and immediately die to motivate guts? bc i feel like if you’re giving this little of a shit about casca as a character compared to her role as guts’ revenge motivation, then there’s not a whole lot else to hope for :////
(also lmfao @ the 2nd bit. god miura, why are u like this. i guess assigning a dedicated servile doormat as a woman’s dream is slightly better than assigning like, an abuser as a dream dude, but like, why is any of this necessary at all. @miura plz stop talking)
you're the only one
