sent one, hope it works well if not I’ll just try differently!I’d die to see bits of daily apostle life tbh (or even some of the humans tbh, Mule, Sonia, Jarif) and same wrt that finale.. the world breaking part was just kinda high fantasy stuff and/or maybe a ‘bright and good’ parallel to the conviction arc ending.. but the character implications.. yeah

in case anyone else is interested.

and yeah same i’m all about the characters at the end of the day

Yes that would be great!! Tbh I hope the next few chapters will have some hawks interactions and not just battle stuff

Right on! The faceoff against Gennon was def more satisfying considering everything, then the millennium arc ending is good imo but almost feels too big, if not for an emotional part like that..

Of course! Idk if links embed here in the replies (like for preventing bots) so I could send them w the message function or w/e works best for you!

i think it’s only asks that won’t let you send links, either replying or messaging should work.

yeah if we’re going back to Griffith’s narrative I’d love to see more relationships and emotional stuff than just monster fights, and more revealing glimpses into the apostles lives would be fantastic.

and ikwym, I think the final confrontation between griffith and ascended ganeshka was interesting, but mostly in like a metaphorical way and because it made me really interested in the possibility of getting into what it means for NGriff to be “the absolute, without equal,” ie, the inherent isolation and loneliness that we saw with Ganeshka. I don’t actually care all that much about like… the actual literal breaking the world open plot stuff lol.

100% agreed on the new hawks! Tbh I like their parts of the arc most.. ch194 where Mule is introduced to most of em and Grunbeld saves the kids from being eaten, 250 when Sonia and Irvine talk, 277 where Grunbeld & Locus go for a walk and wish luck to Zodd before he goes to battle AND Sonia gives advice and calls him Mr Black Lion, details like Mule squiring for Locus later etc.. lov that they develop their relationships, just wish there were more bits like these :’)
The part abt Ganishka
and Gennon is brilliant tbh!! First thing I thought after is how they
both see Griffith as much more important than he sees them.. like for
ex. When it happens, Griffith & Ganishka don’t meet as emperor vs
emperor but as godhand and apostle… Their own parallels are rly
interesting, so I like all the au variants a lot, thank you!!

Also I have some summaries for the Grunbeld novel that tell the basic
plot & stuff. I hope it gets an English ver soon

yeah I love all those moments. plus the way the apostles are given so much relatable humanity gives me a lot of hope for where the narrative is going, both because it def makes it less likely we’re headed for a plain old guts + co vs griffith + co, and because giving Griffith’s monster side of the narrative all the humanity makes me hope we’re going to get some more monstrousness out of Guts’ human side of the narrative to balance it out.

ty! and yeah that’s a good point – both G+G are obsessed with Griffith, but to Griffith they’re obstacles. I mean I think Gennon did have a huge affect on him, but he had his (really satisfying) moment of triumph when he looked down on him and told him he didn’t matter. Then with Ganeshka he follows that through, because he’s an untouchable god compared to him, but also reverses it, because at the end right before Griffith destroys him, they have a moment of connection.

btw would you happen to have a link to the Grunbeld novel summaries?

replied to your post “Why do you feel Grunbeld would turn Griffith down? Are they all human…”

Definitely agree tbh there was sth very off about him saying he wanted to prove his loyalty (at Floras) when he’s been serving NG for.. years(??).. Rly feels like performing duty as you said, and feeling like hes not performing it well enough.

Ive only read summaries of the novel and some chapter bits (and he’s great tbh!!) this all fits, while what the new band of the hawk does fits w his ethos, idt he has it in him to dedicate himself to a leader anymore.
Also re: the novel…
the circumstances that led him to seek the falcon of light (besides
being apostle) kinda puts Griffith secondary, or at least it comes off
like that. But unlike seeking a leader (not) hes been looking for
friends and seems to be rly close to many other hawks.

Wrt the modern au: great!! Au Irvine is such a specific presence fhdhhdh
I can almost see him and his acoustic guitar. Also what are Ganishka
and Griffith to each other here? :“)

thanks for the extra info about grunbeld, this is p interesting. at some point i need to find what i can of his story and check it out.

i love that bit about grunbeld being close to the other hawks. it’s so interesting to have a band of the hawk 2.0 that isn’t just like, an evil twisted monster version of the former, but actually has the same sense of forged bonds and camraderie and the fact that they’re also monsters is like, neither here nor there lol.

but i love everything to do with giving the apostles more character depth and humanity.

also wrt Ganeshka, yk I think it depends what you want to emphasize. tbh my immediate thought was maybe merging his character with Gennon in a modern au. I feel like Ganeshka is meant to be kind of similar in part to highlight NGriff’s invulnerability. He’s got the magic apostle lust for him thing going on, he threatens him in a similar “i won’t kill you, i’ll capture you” with creepy insinuations, he has the unbeatable army – but unlike Gennon he’s never actually a threat.

So you could turn the ganeshka storyline into more of a power fantasy revenge story in a modern au, if you’re keeping the whole idea of a conflict.

But then (especially for this particular idea in which Griffith is stupid and sad after a stupid break up with Guts) it might be better to emphasize the way Griffith and Ganeshka are parallels – loneliness and isolation, feeling apart from the rest of humanity, anger and monstrousness stemming from fear, etc. In which case maybe you’d skip straight to ascended Ganeshka in a modern au and make it a one-off, weirdly revealing encounter with a stranger or something. Or make him a fictional person in something Griffith is watching/reading that makes him do some projecting.

Kinda does! 😮 To me it comes off as he’s finally found a social order he can get behind and will do whatever is necessary (by his morals) to uphold it. Nothing personal for Griffith like Guts.

yeah ia, locus’ devotion to griffith really feels way more like a knight to a king or even symbol, rather than anything personal. which is fitting for neogriffith who doesn’t seem like he’s had a personally revealing interaction ever lol, and it makes a great contrast to human griffith and his relationship w/ guts, and even the rest of the hawks too.

replied to your post “Hi! I have read an opinion ‘bout Locus sending Raksas for Rickert…”

I think that if he did it, he retaliated a direct attack on God (more or less) because of his knightly code, not despite.

yeah i could see it tbh. His loyalty to Griffith def seems like his highest priority and if he did it it comes across as a demanding satisfaction kind of thing lol. Also kinda mirrors Guts being all too happy to assassinate Julius after he slapped Griffith (not that guts has a knightly code, but yk)

@seisans said: i honestly love how many references berserk has it’s like a treasure hunt

ikr, from things like star wars to ridiculously obscure stuff like random pulp fantasy novels. idk if this is an intentional ref but knowing some other weird things miura references it wouldn’t even surprise me that much lol.
