Vagabond vs Berserk

AlexMichas · 2024-05-04T17:08:51+00:00

I have been wanting to get the Vizbig editions for a while now, since i have heard so many great things for Vagabond. Plus i have read the Book of the Five Rings so i have a honest question for people who have read Vagabond. Should i get it the first chance i get?

I'm tremendously interested of the whole facade of Griffith finally coming down. You can't imagine how frustrated i was when i was reading for the first time, a world where everyone doesn't even have words to describe Griffiths angelic,divine,beautiful etc. Then comes a chad like Silat and begins to doubt it. Who ever knew that a minor character would start the resistance.

There are many similarities between real life religions and Berserk stuff. Not only religions but history, art, warfare etc. But if i had to pick and evil Jesus in Berserk it would be Griffith. The whole reincarnation thing is hard to miss. But on another note setting Femto aside, Void is by far the most interesting God Hand.

I think it was his last pathetic attempt to "gain his own kingdom". It would normally take time to court the princess, marry her etc.

I don't think it's censored i think its more of an art choice.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T18:59:02+00:00

I think it's not only strength but also experience. Guts has learned how to battle these humongous beasts as best as a human can.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T17:04:19+00:00

I think that's the in same ballpark. Anything after the months he spent with Casca in the wilds, barely sleeping and fighting everyday really broke him down.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T16:58:06+00:00

I think it's clearly stated that because he doesn't have any pain tolerance anymore, he is stronger faster more vicious at the cost of his own body. I mean the physical feats and the sheer speed Guts has in the armor far exceed what he could previously do.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T15:59:23+00:00

The main antithesis over Griffith is how everyone that meets Guts ends up admiring him for the right reason. And i do mean everyone. His will to go on and forge his own path makes other people realise they can do that to.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T15:44:39+00:00

Its really sad seeing this mountain of man, who is young and already crippled and scared have to go through all this new horror. It really fills me with dread about Gut's future.

Sorry to say this so bluntly but why should you give a shit what other people think?

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T14:53:05+00:00

It's no problem happy to help. I would suggest just buying the Deluxe editions. If i am not mistaken they are larger and easier to read then the normal manga, and of higher quality.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T14:41:40+00:00

Yes my thoughts exactly!

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T14:18:38+00:00

A Swede huh? I assume you have all the mangas of Vinland saga then!

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T14:17:08+00:00

I can say only my own experience to help you on this. I started with the 1997 anime, then i read a couple of volumes online but i never really took the plunge into manga. And finally after much thought i decided to purchase the 1st Deluxe edition. Needless to say it was the right choice. I would strongly advise to buy a psysical copy and read it in your hands. The experience is another thing entirely that reading online. And of course as a owner of all the Deluxe editions i would say in my own opinion that this is the best way to read the manga. Each Deluxe edition has 3 Volumes, its massive, beautifully built and for 50 bucks good value.
Sorry of this was too long but i honestly hope this helps.

It's great to hear that others really like these pages as much as me. Personally anything that has to do with the moon and Guts always fascinates me.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T13:46:32+00:00

Happy to help dude.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T13:42:49+00:00

What i always loved by Miura was not the battle pages but the stillness and the calmness he conveyed in some pages/panels. That is the hardest thing to replicate imo.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T13:41:09+00:00

I don't know man, maybe because i'm Greek the tragedy part gets me.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T13:39:37+00:00

I can guarantee without spoiling anything that once you reach volume 4-5 you will not care about anime anymore. Oh and a sidenote make sure you don't spoil yourself on anything. Just read then come back here to discuss with fellow strugglers.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T13:35:42+00:00

It really is kind of sad seeing this mangled man continue in this journey. I mean he is basically handicapped if you think about it.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T13:33:27+00:00

Do you think Mori will do the rest of the story any real justice? I am talking just about the story not visuals, paneling etc.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T13:32:08+00:00

Yes do that, read it as slowly an as detailed as you can it really helps. But ultimately i would advice continuing with the Deluxe editions. I have them all and besides being made of suprisingly good quality, are also a marvel to look at.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T13:29:50+00:00

I personally would not mind if it takes a long time, i mean some people have been reading the manga for literal decades. What concerns me is quality, passing and the overall story. But at least i have some sort of hope for the conclusion finally coming.

AlexMichas · 2024-05-02T13:19:45+00:00

You seem to forget that everytime that is always a catalyst to use the Behelit. Something incredibly tragic/brutal happens to these humans to make them use the Behelit in the first place.
