miura why – you're the only one

replied to your post “what are your thoughts on the reunion at the hill of swords? why do…”

i think the /only/ thing the fetus has that could be considered strong narrative coherence would be the irony of the “product” of the evil that femto did coming back to bite neogriffith in the the ass lol. but that doesnt sit well with me for a million obvious reasons + i dont get the vibe that berserk is that kind of revenge story. like you said the emotional resonance would be absent; itd fir the demise of like a comic book super villain more than anything.

completely agree, and lmao it does feel like, campy and convoluted in a comic book way

and ok i could still see miura going for it if casca’s the one who gets revenge. like fine, make the fetus his weakness against her that gives her the chance to kill him (tho i’ve said it b4 and i’ll say it again, casca swooping in to kill him while he’s crying over guts’ corpse would be way better).

idk i do think it would be cheap and a matter of prioritizing plot convenience over emotion, but i could see it happening and at least w/ casca’s story the irony is v direct. if the fetus is affecting him wrt guts tho? narratively nonsensical.
