Well, if anyone ever wanted to know where the title of the series came from.....I think this is a good indicator. God damn....the rage from Guts. I mean, Griffith was his FRIEND and a guy Guts and Casca looked up to. To sacrifice all of these "treasured" allies and rape Casca in front of Guts.....the rage on Guts face really says it all.

Yeah, Griffith very clearly resented Guts on some level for leaving the Hawks, having Casca, and being able to fight while he couldn't. The rape scene is him taking all that anger out. Now we know where all that rage Guts has as the Black Swordsman came from.

I've never seen Guts go Berserk like that, but damn @Hyoga hit the nail on the head too
I was truly pitying Griffith after he was tortured for a whole a year but lately I've grown a resentment towards him.
Goddamn.

I'm not going to go into detail about how much I despise Griffith, since I don't feel like typing a short novel . But I can't wait for him to get mollywhopped , even if it's the last god damn chapter of Berserk.

I'm glad I know from the beginning volumes that Guts will hunt this fucker down until he does.

The Skeleton Night busting through the sky and attacking Void was neat.

This chapter was titled "Afterglow of the Right Eye". Sweet ass title, but I missed him losing his eye my first time reading. I blame the bullshit chapter pissing me off too much to see straight.

But the way he lost it was killer. The way that sequence played out made me cringe, once I noticed it. Very well done.

Griffith is a sick bastard..not only did he rape Casca for such a long time which is extremely horrible, but he also did it in front of Guts, pobably due to his anger and vengeful feelings.
I could somewhat understand Griffith towards a certain extent, wanting to fulfil his dream, being so severy handicapped and all, but this made me feel disgusted by him. Guts should cut his fucking throat.

It's obvious that Griffith was such a jealous mother fucker. He never loved Caska. He raped her because he saw that Guts and caska were happy and he was almost dead and with no glory or money.

Disgusting...

What stood out to me is how sharply this scene contrasts with Guts' and Casca's moment. I wonder if the author didn't purposely show us Guts and Casca having sex purely as a foil to Griffith raping Casca here.

Note how Guts was crying as he watched them. :\

The Skull Knight's sudden entry was badass. I think it might've went over my head before: is that vortex Rickert was witnessing at the beginning of this volume (a few chapters back) the contained field where this horror was happening?

Sacrificing his comrades to get godhood is one thing but raping Casca had nothing to benefit him. It was an act of pure evil that was meant to crush Guts' heart.

Skull Knight took his time kek Good thing he still arrived though.

Since rape is portrayed as something horrible, he clearly does not have a "rape fetish". He is just aware that rape is very much a real thing.

Your comment is the saltiest one I've ever read.

This is the first chapter of any manga I have ever read that legitimately made me feel so sick and angry. I'm not saying the chapter was bad. I'm just talking about the intense emotional reaction that this chapter induced. I sincerely doubt there will ever be a character in a story that I want to see dead more than Griffith. When I first started reading this manga I thought Gutts was a complete ass who I couldn't relate with on any level, but this chapter in particular has helped me to understand Gutts's rage very well.

As for the guy saying the mangaka has a rape fetish, this was obviously meant to be a raw display of pure evil in order to get us to really hate Griffith. It was meant to be deeply disturbing, and it in no way resembles other bodies of work that legitimately fetishise rape aside from the fact that a rape takes place.

Wrong. If only people who liked the manga read it, then the reviews/reactions of it online would be skewed. We need both positive and negative reactions to properly assess the strengths and weaknesses of media. Sure, this "Romeo" user sounds rather primitive and unsophisticated. However, "if you don't like it just don't read it" is one of the most immature things you can tell someone.

For the first plethora of chapters, I agree that the author was using rape as a catalyst to demonstrate how horrible society can be in the Berserk universe. I think the past rape scenes were necessary and warranted. However, I don't understand how people aren't aware that they're being overused in these recent chapters. I mean, it's just one rape after another. Especially with Casca. It's all it is with her.

The Griffith rape scene was necessary to demonstrate how wicked he's become, but the effect is lost because of how much Casca has been raped recently.

Plus, the author is laying it on a little thick. The past three chapters have just been continued rape/hentai with near zero substance. I think it could have easily been condensed into one chapter.

Like I said above, these past few chapters have been nothing more than rape hentai. The plots starting to get a bit repetitive and chaotic.

Really, it's just bodily fluid flying everywhere and Casca moaning for dozens of panels in a row. Why isn't she resisting more? She's probably in shock and exhausted, but the idol she's always looked up to has just been reborn as a literal demon king, and her primary love interest Guts is mutilated and watching. She could've struggled a bit more or expressed some slight dissatisfaction.

At this point, I've grown numb. I have the exact opposite reaction as all these people saying "WTF" and "I'm crying." Nothing means anything anymore in this manga.

And "if you don't like it, don't read it" is not a valid excuse, either. M'kay, I do like the manga, as do tons of other people. But they're allowed to express dissatisfaction when a talented manga author makes the wrong choice, or when tropes start to become redundant. I'm not discontent with the edginess or vulgarity -- I just think the entertainment value is starting to decline. What was an intricate political epic has been reduced to forty chapters of grotesque monster faces and Casca's breasts.

Omfg this is an underrated comment. Since the beginning of Berserk, I always wondered how Guts would eventually lose his eye.

I too read straight through this chapter, "too pissed" (as they say) to see straight (pun intended).



But yeah. Throughout the manga I'd been wondering. And it finally happened.
I actually had to read the Wiki and some Reddit forums to get a better understanding of what happened. Maybe I'm just too dense.

But for future reference: Chapter 87 (102 according MAL) is when Guts loses his right eye.
And might I say, it was more discrete than I thought it would be. The blood pouring down over his vision as he watched Casca was pretty dramatic... but the claw slowly gouging into his eye was somewhat discrete. I always thought it would be a big dramatic sword that would plunge into his eye, but again, in the fashion things were executed I totally missed it!

I'm SO glad someone else missed it too. Now I don't have to feel so stupid.
I also didn't notice the significance of the title, either. "Afterglow of the Right Eye." Really nice. Points to the author for assigning the chapter such a good title.

Griffiths heart had to be beyond cold to do this to someone he once considered a friend. Torture? Not even any honor in trying to make the sacrifice quick and painless? If this is how he treats his friends..I'd hate to see how "Femto" treats his enemies.
