| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Volume 8 The Morning Departure (3) [Pg.199-216] Sure didn't expect that. He was thinking the exact same thing as Griffith. I wonder what's gonna happen now. Will Griffith pursue him? All in all, this was a good Volume. :) |
 |
| What a chapter of an absolutely great volume. The emotions here were very powerful and Griffith looks like a man crushed. You have to wonder if he's bothered by losing a friend, a "tool" who has been absolutely essential to his rise to power. Or is it because he was bested by a man he thought was beneath him? See, with Griffith I've never been completely sure what his feelings for Guts were or if he was merely using him. Personally I think that it's the former yet..... Casca is a woman that actually didn't know what she wanted out of this situation. She wished for Griffith to win, yeah, but it seems that it was because she wanted him to force Guts to stay instead of her idol just winning in general. Love the part at the end where she hesitated to call for Guts, maybe she thought it would be a "betrayal" of Griffith. In any case, Guts left Griffith taking not only a valuable asset of the Hawk but maybe even the heart of a girl that Griffith takes for granted. Things should be VERY interesting from here on out. I think this was very close to where the anime ended, so I wonder if there is some new content coming up? |

| This was an amazing chapter, was so tense and very powerful. I honestly don't know where it's going to go from here on out but i have come to hold very high expectations for this series. The characters are great as well, was starting to get sick of one dimensional paper characters :D i just can't read griffith, i can't tell what he actually feels towards guts, i can only imagine how his character will develop from now on, very much looking forward to it. Stayed up later than i should have reading this >.< gonna be a long tiresome day tomorrow LOL |

| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| What an intense chapter. A man wants to find his purpose in life and no one has the right to stop him. |
 |
| I don't think Griffith ever looked at Guts as a tool or a friend. It's more possessive and patronizing than that. Like losing... I don't have a word for it. Dog isn't the right word. |

| it's sad seeing guts go without even looking back. |
| HOLY SHIT. It ended in a single strike. What an EPIC conclusion to volume 8! Griffith looked utterly crushed, and Casca's subtle attachment to Guts is clear. I wonder when they'll cross paths yet again...? |

| Well the conclusion came to fast, it looked like gats is two or three level ahead griffith already. |
 |
| aaaand here where it all began... |
| I said it last chapter. Griffith doesn't stand a chance against this Guts. |
 |
| "Festival's Eve (2)" Incredible mosntersssss!!! O__O Agais appears the Skeletor Knigt to saves Criket!! Why? :/ |
| Wow, Guts won with only one swing. |
 |
| Guts became so different from when he first fought Griffith. No one's stopping him now. Griffith really shouldn't have run his mouth off by the fountain coz it's all biting into his ass now. He's really possessive of Guts that I can't determine what he sees him as anymore. Casca couldn't choose one so she lost both choices... |

| absolutely fantastic. Just an amazing chapter. I really liked that we could read Griffith's thoughts.. that it was shown how he was no longer confident he could win against Guts.. that he had realized that Guts possibly already surpassed him. Then that one swing.. powerful moment, for both of them! |
 |
| insane chapter! loved the single strike of Guts' sword and Griffith's defeat. After all that time on the battlefield it's only natural that his swordplay improved I guess. |
| festival's eve 2 nvm dat aint puck who dafuq is it |

| man... the impact that this arc has on me. I'm convinced that the golden age arc is peak fiction. One of the best stories I have ever witnessed. This departure scene hits so incredibly hard. I loved this scene in the anime when I watched it a few years ago. The voice acting, the ost.. but man this manga is a masterpiece. Thank you Kentaro Miura just for this arc alone. Forever a legend. I've heard that the golden age arc is considered to be berserks best arc by many. I just hope that the quality of the story doesn't drop as much. The story will go into demon territory after this, so I hope that the story does not just turn into this dark fantasy with demons, gods, and devils, but also manages to maintain its beauty in character writing. But I'm confident in Kentaro Miura's writing. |

Can't wait to experience and follow Guts on his ever struggling path. |
| Guts won against Griffith :O the last chapter was really tense! Guts surpassed Griffith in last 3 years but him leaving hawks kind of makes me sad :( |
| The building up to this is simply perfect. It's plausible and convincing that Guts have won, he was always (as Judeau said) the one in most danger in all battles and ahead in all the battles, so all this helped him a lot. It was kinda emotional too... Guts decide to form his own path. |
| Guts won, Griffith lost. Yet this doesn't feel like a victory for anyone. |
 |
| Guts has proven his resolve by defeating Griffith in one strike, without getting bloodlusted. |
 |
| Very intense chapter, and very quick duel. Indeed guts is way stronger than griffith in swordfight. Casca probably realised some of the feelings she has for guts and griffith seem pretty shaken too. I wonder what's in store for the hawk and guts in the future |
| Damn... I guess I got the answer to my question... |
| I can't believe my eyes. Guts actually defeated Griffith. Wow. |
