Berserk Volume 6

Product Information

Corkus attempts to rob Guts before he is saved by the Hawks' female captain Casca, who is in turned saved by their leader Griffith as he grievously wounds Guts.

Griffith is shown visions of his consciousness by Uvik to be convinced that a few more sacrificed lives are trivial in regard to the fulfillment of his dream. Since then, the series has been supervised by Miura's friend Kouji Mori and drawn by Studio Gaga, consisting of Miura's assistants and apprentices.Also, while there is a small percent of women who suffer from particularly painful periods, the overwhelming majority of female population can function quite capably even during their menstruation, thank you very much. The treatment of Casca's plight by the author mostly as an excuse for some nude closeups is disappointing. The two resolve their issues and consummate their love, Guts telling Casca to leave with him after they save Griffith.

After Isidro's group eliminate the last of Mozgus's disciples, the inquisitor overpowering him while the flames keeping the corpses at bay die out, Guts uses his miniature bombs to blow apart the unprotected chink in the inquistitor's armored body to kill him. It peels back the layers and reveals little by little how Guts grew up to be such a mentally broken and morally outraged character.

The dark and atmospheric tone of the series is enhanced by the use of shading and the meticulous attention to detail. But, Hell has many faces, and when what appears to be a village proves to be a den of secrets, the horror of a fairy tale perverted by pain may prove to be more than what Guts can handle. Lady Farnese has a sickness about her that makes her a compelling villain but can be used to make her a sympathetic figure. Their unborn child mutated by Griffith's rape into the Demon Child that would follow him, Guts leaves Casca under the care of Godo and Rickert as he embarks on a journey to hunt down Apostles and the God Hand after acquiring the Dragonslayer Sword and his prosthetic arm. A few days later, Guts learns that Casca lost her sanity from the nightmarish ordeal and that their Brands of Sacrifice will subjected them to nightly attacks by various evil creatures.

The chaos unfolds in the slums, but Mozgus uses his powers to keep the corpses at bay while the refugees proceed to build a pyre to burn Casca on.Griffith is a charismatic mercenary with dreams of ending a hundred year war in hopes of attaining his own kingdom. Luca takes Guts to her tent upon recognizing his brand, only to find that a fearful Nina abducted Casca. He finds his Behelit and unintentionally activates it when the Hawks find him as a solar eclipse occurs, taking everyone present to a convergence of the physical and Astral planes.

Starved, tortured mercilessly and imprisoned in an iron mask, Griffith hangs to life and sanity by a thread.

Raised by his adoptive father and mentor Gambino, the young Guts was forced to kill Gambino when the man attempted to murder him in misplaced blame for his wife's death for saving his life when born from his hanged mother. We get introduced to a wonderfully intense group of mercenaries that go by the name of The Band of the Hawk. When Farnese and her knights, led by Joachim, arrive, Casca's brand awakens the dead which possess some pagans to indiscriminately attack people.
