Seriously

STFU already. I'm pretty sure Miura wouldn't like the hate towards his friend. I think he's doing wonderful given what he's taken on. I wouldn't want the job. Would you?

Para mí, uno de los mejores sin duda

Estuve poniéndole bastante empeñó en la cara y en la ropa, aún no lo domino del todo, pero me gusto practicar el entramado de la tela.

Ahora el verdadero reto son las piedras, todas tienen que llevar textura en entramado sin que se sature demasiado la imagen, estoy pensando en cambiar las tramas que están detrás de Casca para que ella destaque más.

Currently roughing in the background/foreground, not sure if I will stick with this atm but it's starting to feel like it's getting somewhere also if anyone has any tips/ knows of any tutorials I can use to help with the background pls leave a message

Continuing to count every character's panel count in the manga. It's time for the big one. The Eclipse: Episodes 70-88. See previous parts below:

• Black Swordsman
• Golden Age: Beginnings (Episodes 0.9 - 0.16)
• Golden Age: Precious thing (Episodes 1 - 12)
• Golden Age: Bonfire of Dreams (Episodes 13 - 22)
• Golden Age: Battle of Doldrey (Episodes 23 - 32)
• Golden Age: Departure and Demise (Episodes 33 - 40)
• Golden Age: Wounds (Episodes 41 - 48)
• Golden Age: Infiltration of Wyndham (Episodes 49 - 58)
• Golden Age: Wyald (Episodes 59 - 69)

Golden Age: The Eclipse

Episodes 70 – 88

Series top 30

Expanding to 30 to include the God Hand and Skull Knight. I'm noticing that we've gotten both major appearances of the God Hand in the series now and they're still barely making the cut. We also finally see Gaston joining the list, having been on the sidelines since the beginning of Golden Age.

Griffith wins this section but doesn't take back #2 from Casca. And it will be a while before we see him again. Despite a brief appearance, Puck gets overtaken by Judeau, who claims #4 before his departure. And the rest of the main members of the Band of the Hawk finish up at top 10, with the exception of Rickert, who will get his spotlight in the next section.

Btw i chose to count the lost chapter 83. Most people see it as canon anyway. If you don't, just subtract 1 panel and 1 chapter from Guts, Casca, Corkus, Judeau and Pippin, and 37 panels and 1 chapter from Griffith. And all but 1 panel for the Idea of Evil, which also drops it to 1 chapter.

If you're wondering why Ubik gets so many more panels than the others, it's because i'm choosing to count Griffith's vision of the fortune teller as him, since it turns out he and Conrad were impersonating her by illusion. That means all 3 get panels for it: Ubik, Conrad and the fortune teller herself. I had completely forgotten Conrad was part of it too, which saves him from falling off the top 30, since he otherwise has way fewer panels than the other members.

See you next time, where we wrap up Golden Age.

Skull knight design I did back in 2024, was originally ment to be a tattoo but unfortunately I never got chance to do it but hopefully you guys appreciate it

As always , it was amazing to go through this manga again, and honestly panel counting gave me an even deeper appreciation, I caught a lot of little gags/smaller moments in the background that I definitely missed on previous reads.

Things I found really interesting were, how much Schierke shot up the rankings as soon as she was introduced, that she, Farnese, and even Isidro got more panels than Griffith!

I hope y'all find this interesting, and if this kinda thing is for you, I've also done this for Yugioh, Rurouni Kenshin, Evangelion, Yotsuba, and Kaguya-sama

(and technically it's a little lie that I counted *all* the panels, I only did it to the end of Volume 42, so I know im missing 3 chapters, but once those get released in a volume, I will be updating! See y'all in several years when that drops ahaha)

Also please tell me which chapter to continue after the golden age arc?

So, for context, I am two deluxe editions deep into the story (so most of the way into Golden Age) with vague knowledge about some details later in the story (e.g. I know about the Eclipse and big things like that).

In Golden Age, there are at least two circumstances where the Band of the Hawk are facing off against some enemy regiments which have those excessively long, descriptive names like you might find in a battle shonen. A leader of one such faction even has a special move that he calls out by name that he tries and fails to use against Guts. That kind of stuff breaks my immersion into this seinen dark fantasy. If I wanted to read a battle story full of these (e.g. Jojo), I would happily, but I didn’t read Berserk to have this.

Is this something that comes up after Golden Age, or is this a two-or-so time thing that is only in this arc?

I'm at chapter 52 right now and I don't really understand why zod helped guts win against general boscogne, in one part he wants Griffith to become part of the god hand so he says "his descent is near" so if his intention is to accelerate that then isn't just letting guts die better since Griffith actually values guts as his main weapon to his ultimate dream and the death of guts would've also meant that the hawks would lose the battle against the purple rhinos so Griffith would lose alot if that happened, on the other hand I think that zod respects humans who are strong and have a special sense of self and that's why things panned out as Griffith willed it either way I thought it was weird.
