So, Casca was so traumatized that she became a shell of her former sell....is she even able to speak? Griffith literally took everything from Guts. He loses his arm and eye, all of his friends, and his lover is scared of his presence.

I'm really not surprised that that kind of trauma would cause Casca to lose her memory. :/

Casca is incredibly traumatized, as to be expected, but also seems to have lost her memories. That's really really shitty...

...However, the memory loss could be one of the better possible outcomes. Rickert said she was healed, physically. Maybe not remembering all that craziness is for the best. Hopefully she can slowly begin to heal mentally as well..

But the way this story puts an emphasis on tragedy, I wouldn't be surprised if Kentaro Miura kept her alive just to have some more terrible bullshit happen to her later on.

Hope not.

;-; that's so shitty...

I've noticed this for quite some time now, but since Casca finally opened up her vulnerabilities to Guts (long, long ago), she's slowly been deconstructed. She went from strong and brave, an archetype for female empowerment in battle to the height of frailty. Since she opened up, her weaknesses begun being exposed bit by bit; she began being depicted less as a powerful warrior and more as a target of assault. As terrible as her current state is, it's hardly a radical change; it's more like the climax of her descent. In a sense, her current state has returned her full circle to how she was as a child. Tragic...

It does truly amaze me how well written our main trio of characters are, though.

FINALLY.

The Eclipse had some really nice art. Props to the manga illustrator for all of the intricate details and sketches of the past dozen chapters. But I admit, I was getting a bit tired of Casca's nipples and the thousands of demon faces cluttering my screen. The novelty wore off and I started longing for other atmospheres.

It felt like my eyes could finally rest watching Guts wake up in an ambient cavern filled with ores and gentle waterfalls.

~~~~~

My only complaint is the fact that the author felt the need to add even more fanservice after everything we just had to sit through. I couldn't help but roll my eyes seeing her in a soaked T-shirt.
((And I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll let it pass. Casca is in a very innocent/infantile state right now on account of the PTSD... she probably doesn't know any better. Plus, she's probably only wearing a T-shirt because it was all they had lying around to clothe her; and she apparently "keeps going in the water with her clothes on" so she's constantly wetting the clothes she's given and requiring changes; and, she probably needs to be undressed often to dress her wound and keep her comfortable and relaxed. So I get it.))

And most people seem to be attributing the PTSD to the rape, but my interpretation is that the rape was just the breaking point, and that the death of her comrades and the tragic, otherwordly experience also have a lot to do with it. Additionally, Casca's experienced rape before and was able to overcome it. If anything, it was the fact that her demonic-demigod-turned-idol was the one to rape her.

Well if anything would be enough to break a persons mind. It'd definitely be something like that. Tragic.

Kasca is in an emotional shock, with a kind of post-traumatic stress but at extreme levels... She only trusts the girl and not the men.
And Guts in a very poor state, even more traumatized than before...
Damn, how much they have to suffer?

Yeah, her mind responded to this traumatic event with amnesia. Not surprising but tragic nonetheless.

agree with this part ..

I wat the new atmospheres in the outside world too ... the demon realm was daunting my mind for far too long

I interpreted her going to the water as a "cleansing of oneself" A washing away of the traumas and pain ... Water can be healing in itself

And as you've expressed in many complaints so far (of Casca's nude body) , the author probably thought the same , hence why she was wearing a t-shirt in the water ..

Not really a fan service moment ... he coulda easily have drawn her naked and chose not to .. he kept her covered because as you've stated ,, its a state of new found innocence

It makes sense why Casca forgot everything and is terrified of men now; I'm glad a few of the hawks survived, but things definitely aren't going to get easier from here.
