| Caska is boring and Griffith's pursue of his dream is gonna meke him a villain, obviously. |
 |
| This show is just beautiful and amazing. |
| Griffith, he's crazy and yandere-ish |
    |
| LOl the pedo rich guy with Griffith kinda threw me off, but it was believable. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| This was a much needed episode. Several things are explained. And I think we see here the pivotal moment where Griffith rejected a part of his humanity for the sake of his "dream". (until he met Guts) 5/5 |

| I think Griffith sort of lost it after seeing the boy dead on the battlefield. He was overcome with guilt and shame. He realized that other people were dying for his dream while his hands were remaining relatively clean. His decision to sell himself came not only from a need to stop unnecessary deaths of his soldiers, but also from a need to punish himself. He needed to feel like he had suffered for his cause to some degree rather than skating through unscathed while others paid the price for his success. Regardless, it was an interesting bit of character development for a character I hadn't really cared much about prior to this episode. |

on 
| 1/5 because of that annoying useless bitch |
| That kid that died totally made Griffith go nuts. Also,the scene where he was scratching himself made me cringe. |
Wintovisky said: Caska is boring and Griffith's pursue of his dream is gonna meke him a villain, obviously. That's all. End of the story. About Casca, she's obsessive and hysterical most of the time as Guts said, that doesn't fit in the story. They also seem to be have been brainwashed and can't remember anything from ep11. Anyone in their right mind would've left this Griffith guy for good after listening to that lecture showing his potential danger, Guts also killed an innocent just before coming to that place, they pretended they didn't hear such a thing or they're really dense and can't come to a conclusion. |

| And still, Bill will live on. He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god. And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living, until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet. Until the sun is long since gone. Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open. Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from. He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out. |
| Yet another great episode, and extremely shocking as well. I swear Griffith keeps shocking me. Miura deserves credit for creating Griffith, he has been the best character up until now, just as good as Guts in my opinion. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Wow just wow , this episode really is something else Obviously Castca backstory is really sad and creepy But that Griffith thing is just damn... |
| I wish Casca would stop to blame everything that Griffith did to offend her on Guts... what a shitty personality. |
| FUCK FUCK FUCK!!! I hate backstories with Sexual Violence in it Damnit! Well at least Griffith got there in time to save her. Griffith just goes around changing lives. Great! Now there is gay pedophile. What a fucked up world. WHAAAAAATTTTT! Griffith with that pedo.... I felt a bit of pain too lol, when Griffith scratched himself. Damn Why the hell is Adon still alive!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! SOMEONE KILL HIM ALREADY!!! |

| Both Casca's and Griffith's development were amazing this episode. Griffith is such an incredible character. There are two reasons why he was willing to sell his body. One, his main drive is to achieve his dream, even if to fund that dream he has to sell himself, he is willing. He is literally ready to do anything, including having sex with an older man just to get a step closer to his dream. Secondly, after realising other people were getting hurt, killed and as he puts it "not clean" to achieve his dream, he feels as though he cannot be be clean either. Griffith thinks he has to do more dirty work to compensate for other peoples sacrifices. Literally punishing himself because of this guilt and burden he realised was upon him after seeing that dead boy. This show already has so much depth in its characters... |

| Lol, this episode was mainly about Casca's backstory, but everyone's talking about Griffith takin' it up the ass with an old dude (well, at least the comments from 10 years ago). Anyways, Casca was sold off as a kid to a pervy noble, but got saved by Griffith. Well, he threw her a sword at least after which she promptly made her first kill. Talk about extreme hazing. Griffith got a bit depressed after a kid died in his band. The shot of him kneeling in the field with the red sun behind him, was very stylish. Casca found out Griffith sold his body to an old pervy king to earn money to maintain his army. Again looking for the most effective "logical" way. When he was digging his nails into his arms, I genuinely was cringing a bit IRL. That shit has to hurt. That's all the flashback time for this episode. It ends with Casca throwing a fit (again) about how Griffith likes Guts, although this time it's a bit more bearable because she explained how she feels about things. Can't wait to see what the next episode will bring. Maelstrom184 said: I think Griffith sort of lost it after seeing the boy dead on the battlefield. He was overcome with guilt and shame.

That does sound like what was happening there. |

| It was cool getting more backstory on griffith and casca. That scene where girffith is ripping some skin off with nails is super hard to watch |
 |
| dam im finally seeing da rape berserk is known 4 also griffith literally a whore lool |
 |
| Well, it took 12 years before someone here noticed that Griffith didn't actually save Caska, but rather put her through an impromptu death game. It's an IRL child soldier recruitment tactic (making a kid kill, not the death game in particular). Griffith is just terrible. |
| I love the animation style for this episode. Casca backstory is great and we know more about Griffith past. I always thought he used others for dirty works, but he dirtied his hands when it was necessary. Great character development and Guts is finally able to connect with Casca, even if she doesn't like him too much because her dream is to support Griffith. Really great episode. I'm waiting for battles in the next episode! |
 |
| damn, lots of people disrespecting Griffith... even though he tells Casca he doesn't care, lots of his comrades would have died if he hadn't made the choices he did... they need to make that money one way or another and the other option was many hard battles where his men will be killed... I mean I was thinking why not just kill that guy and take his riches (and uh free those kids lol wtf) but I guess that would ruin his reputation |
| 1) Yeah , Back Story Time! 2) Nah , Over For Me . Had Enough Of White Hair & Guts Friend's Complex . Sayonara Berserk! |

| That was an insane character development for Griffith, turns out he's not just a pretty face. |
| I can`t say that I`m respecting to Griffith about he did with this old guy, it`s disgusting in some way even if it was a deal, but anyway he puts his dream above his own body. And can we about to guilting him for that? I don`t think so. |
