Berserk Chapter 356.2 Discussion
| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- The way of the Hawk :o So many mighty apostles but such a short chapter. Mod Edit: This seems to be the second part of chapter 356, so the title was changed to 356.2. |

| honestly felt like this chapter and the previous one should've been just one chapter |
| Wow, this was even shorter than the previous chapter. Maybe because of the art?? I mean, there were some pretty great shots in this chapter. Anyway, I'm glad that at least there's no hiatus. Miura hasn't done this many consecutive chapters in over 5 years. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Way of the hawk is 1 chapter battles. |
| Lol, that was too short. That Hydra looked cool, but we all know that Griffith's opponents don't stand a chance against his army. |
 |
| 9 pages in a monthly chapter? Fucking hell Miura At first I was pissed off by the lack of content (especially dialogue), but since i know everyone else will be annoyed I’m just laughing it off 😂😂 |

| The art is on point as usual, but I legitimately now think Miura has no fuckin idea on how to end Berserk. For a manga that has longer hiatuses than its publishing periods, I'm very disappointed in what we're getting...... |
| From what I've read on Reddit, it's a very big chance that this and 356 were originally just one chapter, but then the publisher split it into two. Someone said that maybe Miura wanted a fast break and that's why we have 356-357. |

| This chapter is pretty short, why are we getting half chapters now? |

They feel like a part of exactly the same narrative flow so this is maybe a smart way of giving him a break. |

| I don't really see the point of Griffith fodderizing another random monster but okay. Miura must know what he's doing. The art was great, and I'm happy that there's no hiatus yet, considering that it's been a long time since we had more than 5 chapters in a row. This battle is probably going to wrap up soon so I'm interested in whatever happens next. |
| Wow Miura's laziness knows no limits..lol. |
| who else but Miura. enjoy your love live |
| :v |
| Giriffith is so fckn op he can just trash everything by himself so why does he even need his army and why do we need to see him kill random fooder. Does the Auther even have a plan how to end this story ? Cuz it sure doesn't feel that way. |
| This didn't even feel like a new chapter at all. |
 |
| Hopefully he hurries and moves this fight along, we all know what everyone's waiting for. |
Though we are parted, If on Mount Inaba's peak I should hear the sound Of the pine trees growing there, I'll come back again to you. |
| God the length of this chapter (as well as the last few ones) have been infuriating. Look I love that Miura is still making Berserk and not having a very long hiatus. But these chapters are really too short to absorb and take in what happens. |
| Who cares about the king of douchebags doing a random sidequest |

| Yo that fucking Hydra was badass looking. Zodd ripped it up though, which was also cool. 8 fucking pages though, holy fuck. Next chapter needs more please Miura! EDIT: Also, let it sink in that there were only three words of dialogue in this chapter. |

| Better than another hiatus, I guess, but we all know this is just play for time. |

Grim1952 said: I still don't care about that side of the story, specially after the cliffhanger from 2 chapters ago. If it's not random, why would you not care? It's part of the story that will eventually join up with Guts and Casca. I get it, I'm sure all of us would rather see Guts and Casca reunite and that Miura finish that story before switching to What's Griffith Up To Now, but they're not the only characters in this series and their journey isn't the only story. Saying that it's not important is like saying it's okay to skip a verse in a song - all it's going to do is mess up the song in the end. xShinigami3125 said: Giriffith is so fckn op he can just trash everything by himself so why does he even need his army and why do we need to see him kill random fooder. Because Griffith is still pretending to everyone that he's a mere human. As far as I remember, the only time he really came out as Femto was when he killed Ganeshka, and even then he did it where no one else would see. Also, I suspect he has ulterior motives and a long-term plan. The following is just my speculation, so I'm using the spoiler warning feature for those who aren't interested in idle speculation: I've had this theory for a while now, which is why I'm honestly not surprised at all or dismayed by these last two chapters. Indeed, I'm somewhat pleased because it corroborates my theory. :D |

Grim1952 said: I still don't care about that side of the story, specially after the cliffhanger from 2 chapters ago. I would start taking an interest if I were you. I'm not saying you have to prefer it over anything else, trust me, but if you are at all willing to follow the story of Berserk to any capacity and ultimately respect what it is trying to say, then you should try a little harder at figuring out the relevance of this tangent instead of assuming it has little purpose. Miura could have taken another hiatus like he usually would do, but instead he decided to use this time to focus on Griffith instead. We don't know how long until we see another Casca x Guts chapter, but he's actually giving us something in the meantime and there's no way it isn't important. |
| Not that it's a bad chapter, since I'm sure there's something important about this Griffith focus. It's just that the last two chapters had absolutely no plot progression. At this point, I don't need glorious two-page spreads. Miura should get things done in smaller panels, actually have some dialogues, and actually do something. Because the last two chapters could've taken up 10 pages max. Sure, we don't get large, pretty panels, but Berserk's already got plenty of those. Plot-progression is important too. For a monthly series where the chapters are only 18 or so pages, at least it should try to progress the story more. If the next chapter doesn't cover much, I might just have the series on hold for a year. Berserk is a series best binged after all :/ |

Berserk is a series best binged after all :/ After rereading the chapter, I think Miura might be putting in all this detail into the chapters to flesh out the giants that Griffith is fighting. That said, if he were to do a lot of dialogue, then whatever he's not telling us wouldn't have much impact when he does reveal it. Like what exactly are these giants and why do they have a freaking Hydra? It seems important because it's a double paged spread, and I assume knowing which demon warriors and nobles are present for this is also going to be important. Is it just me, or is the fact that Raban is still in the cast after all these volumes kind of suspicious? He's still alive and the only purpose he's ever served was some albeit important metaphors and exposition? Something's off here, but I have no idea how else he's going to be used or how soon it'll be. |
