I am totally fine with someone dying, but being raped brutally and mind-broken is a whole other thing. Yes, Griffith had it rough, but now he has become Prince Charming (in a bad way) and of course broke Casca's mind and body and I highly doubt Casca will have the same outcome that will make her better and if by any chance that does happen (if she doesn't die) I may reconsider my opinion on this matter, although even then I think it's far too deep, the way author treats female characters, to be considered redeemable.

Deventh said:

Which is bullshit. The female characters are treated as pure shit in this manga. The author is sexist, I swear to god.

Fuck casca. I hated her from the start. Hope she dies.

I get that this post is from ages ago, but I needed to reply to this. This anime is set in a dark age of time, it doesn't have anything to do with the author being sexist, or detesting females. I think the rape, and poor treatment of characters, not only females fits the story because of the age it was set in. Females weren't that respected back then, and it should be the same in the manga.(Mind what I said, I don't think it's right for females to get raped, I'm just saying this since this is a fictional story, it has nothing to do with my opinion of today's everyday life.) Besides, we saw Guts himself get raped at the very beginning of this story, the male characters are treated like shit as well, look what happened to Griffith, Guts, and every bloody character from this story. Nothing has ended up well for anyone, it has absolutely nothing to do with the author being 'sexist.'

Deventh said:

I am still around and lurk every now and then so I can reply back on this now.

You're right that male characters are treated bad, but can't say it's as bad as females.

And yes, it is a "fictional" story of which he is the author and can change stuff as he please. It doesn't say nowhere that he has to go right by the age it was set in or if he does at least not so brutally often and harsh.

Casca is just a damsel in distress, just a character boost for our main character to evolve further.

Just to add on that:

I wouldn't say Griffith had it easy, because he is a male (that would contradict everything I have said about the "sexism" in this manga) I will just say these few things:

Why aren't the males being raped? Why are 99% of the Apostles males? We saw in the very beginning the female Apostle that tried to take advantage of Guts while having sex with him and that was it. That and during the festival there was one more female (not considering the one in the God Hand which is 1 female and 4 males =/= value of genders and the female is quite the Succubus, again pointing out women's weakness being the sexual one) Also in war such as the one we have seen in Berserk, males raped males quite often and if the author sticks to the whole truth then why not show that as well? Oh, no... we must rape just poor women and make them suffer beyond imaginable. And yes, I do remember Guts being raped while young, but I wouldn't say that counts as much when that was just a single case in the whole manga.

The author has set a specific role for each gender and the role of the female characters is just to be a broken tools and to further the development of given characters, which for me is a total bullshit.

Don't pullout the bullsh*t gender card here, if you're gonna get offended by that then just stop reading the manga completely. All that stuff that you said is just a biased feminazi point of view.

Guts was raped by Slan, she forcibly put Guts' head between her legs.

And FYI, Griffith prostituted himself to Gennon. Also, Gennon was a pedophile that enjoyed having young boys as servants. I'm pretty damn sure he raped some of them. That actually proves the opposite of your biased feminazi argument against the author.

Gender is irrelevant to the author if you thoroughly think about it.

You know what's going to be funny is when Casca plays a major role in Griffith's death (he will die eventually) and people are still going to call it misogynistic.

Just finished the 97 anime and had to know if Casca got better. How in the hell has it been 20 years and she's the same?

Luthandorius said:
Just a quick question: Which chapter is the new Berserk (2017) manga now? With the same pacing - how long would it take to catch up (animating all remaining chapters)? (How many more seasons/episodes)?

And at which chapter does Casca start fighting again? From where the anime is now ... it is already getting a bit boring having the party only traveling and protecting Casca. Would be more interesting if it soon started turning into some real revenge against Griffith (with Casca joining/fighting again).

From what I have read here she does not regain her memories soon (maybe not even up til now)? But maybe she'll start fighting again? (Remembering some fighting techniques and starting to talk normally ... just without the other old memories?)

Or does she stay helpless all the time? Ha ha. A bit waste/boring. (Should get healed or killed.)

I still don't really get why she was mindbroken when she was quite clearly enjoying it.

I don't know if you're trolling or being ironic, but Kentaro Miura is clearly a feminist. Berserk takes place in a world that reflects our own. It might have magic and monsters, but it’s also patriarchal world like ours. In addition to that, it takes place in a medieval time. Go back to the middle-ages and you will see women being treated like shit in our world as well.

Miura does not exactly portray rape or the demeaning of women as something positive. He in facts portrays is as the most horrible thing in the world, pretty much.

The women in Berserk have to learn how to rise in a patriarchal world. Casca managed to do so, as a mercenary and vice-commander of the Hawks.

Look at Game of Thrones. Same story there, alltough not quite as brutal of course.

...And I also think he's milking it.

zodd0 said:

I don't. Why would he be milking if Berserk probably is gonna take him a couple of decades to finish anyway? Besides, he is a genius in a league of his own,

he knows what he is doing.

zodd0 said:

I wondered why you might think a girl would enjoy getting raped, then I clicked on your username and saw you have Trump as a profile pic. :)

But honestly I've seen quite few "she was enjoying it"-claims over the years. Sometimes people are just trolling and sometimes they are just extremely retarded I suppose. The fact that Casca literally lost her mind and still completely panics whenever she sees or experiences something that reminds her of what happened should tell every none-retarded person how much she hated it.

We all know she wasn't enjoying it, we know the context, we know it was rape because she was saying "no", because she was crying and because of how she ends up insane from the trauma. But, if you look at how it was all drawn, it seems it was made to look a lot more like porn than a sexual assault. Like, if you forget the context for a minute, it doesn't look like rape. It was shown from many different angles, focusing on different body parts of Casca, like it was your regular hentai. It is clearly shown in a way that arouses instead of shocks. Compare it to Guts's rape as a kid. You don't see details of it, you don't see Guts's body from up-close. That's the difference. You don't see any elements in Guts's rape scene that would turn you on. The rapes of women are made to look sexy, showing us boobs being grabbed or nipples being licked. Male rapes aren't shown like that, if they are shown at all. We know Griffith prostituted himself, but it was never shown. Moreover, he prostituted himself to a pedophile that keeps children in his castle, but we never see the children being raped. We only see the rapes of women and we see them resembling too much like porn or, like someone wrote above, for fapping purposes. I'm not against rape being such a regular part of the story because I know it was a regular part of people's lives back then. And I'm not asking for more male rapes just for the sake of gender equality or whatever, and I don't mind that most rapes are to women. However, it pisses me off how they are shown because they hardly ever look like truly disgusting events. They almost always look like regular sex scenes that turn on the reader instead of shocking them or whatever other reaction one might have in the face of a rape.
So, if you look at Casca's rape without keeping in mind that it's a rape, just looking at the drawings, it really does look like she's enjoying it, which is awful and unforgivable. It even looked like Guts was suffering more as a witness to this than Casca herself.

I just stopped catching up with berserk when casca had her mind broken , the manga and new series/movies don't interest me since i loved casca so much , i will just check this form now and then hoping for casca to get her memory back one day.

note : it kills me that the author treated casca this horribly , why would a demon rape a poor woman !!! so childish and so sexist from the author . and after that ? one of the best , if not the best character you have loses her mind for about 20 years ! its just so sad to me .
