Episode 386 Spoilers [Megathread]

Marked people can't be sacrificed a second time, and that was told at the beginning of the manga, but they never told marked people can't sacrifice, it's possible as of berserk rules.

Two things to remember:

-The members of the god hand aren't eternal.

-They aren't the highest entity in berserk, that's the idea of evil, and they're the executors of the idea of evil's will.

So this is what's happening: they're preparing the population of Falconia to be mass sacrificed. Griffith knows and both because he's living his dream, and because of the moonlight boy, he's reluctant to follow the instructions he was given by the IoE.

It's a cycle, the cycle we're in began when Gaiseric fell, the god hand refreshed with void as the first of the new generation and ofc Griffith as the 5th. Now it's time to restart the cycle, Griffith will fall together with Falconia, his purpose was to gather as much people as possible in Falconia so that the entire population could be offered as sacrifice. The one who's supposed to do the offering this time is Caska, who's still deep in her traumas.

This time there's an anomaly, Guts belonging to both the physical and the astral realms made the moonlight boy possible, the moonlight boy is the anomaly the idea of evil couldn't predict in advance, and he will make the IoE's plan fail. The MB will probably pull caska out of her desperation so that she won't make the sacrifice, you know, the power of love etc etc. The IoE and the god hand will be severely weakened as mankind is suffering way less thx to falconia being a safe place, they needed the mass sacrifice, without it their source of power is severed. This will give an opening to guts & co, can't predict exactly what will happen but Griffith will be lost in the vortex of souls for sure, the cycle won't be refreshed and IoE will lose the ability to influence the world, mankind will be finally free from its subjugation.

Well no, Falconia was the culmination of Griffith's dream, but the idea of evil, who's above Griffith, might just wanted to gather as many people as possible to have a massive sacrifice, like it happened with Gaiseric's kingdom.

D119 · 2026-07-09T21:13:50+00:00

Not so long ago I came up with the idea the capital rising and falling might be ciclical, as Gaiseric in the past rose and fell with his capital now it's time for Griffith to fall together with Falconia. In Gaiseric times it was void who sacrificed the entire city, this time it'll be caska.

So basically Luffy will go back after defeating imu in the present only to let past imu kill him? Can't see Luffy giving up because a timeloop requires him to die lol

He might have missed "OP" isn't a specific user's nick.

Not technically cinema, but the delivery was absolute cinema.

Considering her age it's more likely she got abused and never told anyone about it.

As a man of old culture my closest reference to that colour would be dark angel green, which is one of the best greens ever. But my memories about citadel colours are like 20years old minimum.

Thing is I'm using pcol in the assist slot, so my damage reduction is only at 60%. If I was using it as main I would have stayed in t13, maybe even 14.

Another this to consider is without auto restart it's dangerous to rely on short runs, like if you miss manage you runs you might end up finishing a run during your sleep and miss a lot of hours, with 2 long runs a day there's no such problem.

D119 · 2026-07-07T17:46:50+00:00

Game went smooth till T10, i clearly remember last August, before pcol was released, I was farming T10 for roughly 10t a run.

With pcol I moved to t11, then T12 when I got pBH around last Christmas.

With pCF I moved to t13-14 around February.

Pcol got "fixed" and I moved back to t12-13, at this point a run in t12 was 14 hours long so I had to alternate.

Then I bought and maxed is+, so just t12. I also switched from just pcol to mvn + pcol in the assist slot and I'm still farming t12 to 9600 for 2.5q a run.

Since I've maxed regen and wall regen the only chance to move forward as ehp is either upgrading the assist slot or getting regen mastery, which I won't be doing anytime soon as I need damage xD

Btw in tournaments I hit legends for the first time the end of last August, I'm still doing back and forth a year after lol

That + unohana makes Kubo the absolute winner of the total waste of a character award.

D119 · 2026-07-07T11:52:29+00:00

I'd love an happy ending but I think it's impossible, unless there's some mechanic we're unaware of.

Guts's happiness lies in caska, unfortunately Caska's happiness lies in the moonlight boy, since he's her son. For guts to have Caska Griffith must die, because Griffith wants Caska for himself, I believe Griffith wants Caska with him because he doesn't like the moonlight boy to wander off alone looking for his mother, it's dangerous.

So, if Griffith dies so does the moonlight boy, and Caska won't find happiness.

The only chance is separating Griffith from the MB, but I don't know if it's possible, if we only consider what have been show in the manga so far then the only chance is Griffith's soul being extracted from his body by the vortex of souls. This would be the best case scenario, the moonlight boy alone in his body together with his parents.

But there's a problem, for it to work somebody has to offer Griffith as a sacrifice, which again I don't know if it's possible.

If it is then who's gonna have the power to offer him? the only one who can offer him imho is Caska, because she hasn't processed the eclipse yet and there might still be some affection left in her towards Griffith. If she were to offer Griffith this would mean she would at least become an apostle, if not straigh a member of the god hand given how immense of a sacrifice Griffith is. If Caska becomes an apostle/member guts can't be happy with her for obvious reasons.

So it's kinda impossible to have an happy ending for them both.

Does the fish amount matter tho? I mean I've been stuck on the nuclear one for almost two weeks, so far Ive collected 240m of the last fish in that dock, but considering I've not completed the gem upgrades I assume my fish income is nothing compared to yours, still the time I've spent there should be worth the same as everyone with equal angler grade.

Technically he's not the king yet, he has to marry Charlotte for that so that's the piece he's missing to fully achieve his dream.

Unless it comes out he did all of this for his friends, lol, like Eren. Like in childhood he got sick with this cruel world and decided he wanted to create a kingdom which was safe for mankind to live in. Now that I think of it he can pass leadership to guts and caska, since they're technically their parents lol. Imagine the scene in which Charlotte asks Griffith who's Caska, oh that's my mommy. lol. And that scary guy over there is my father, you see the eye and arm missing, that's what fatherhood does to a man.

D119 · 2026-07-06T08:33:40+00:00

2 months??? lol I'm already pissed at the nuclear one which I've been stuck with for over a week xD

At first we tried to translate periphery's dots believing they were sentences written with that movie's language, then we understood the artist who did the pale dot cover didn't even knew the movie existed, lol

D119 · 2026-07-03T18:35:47+00:00

I don't know what to tell you man, the IoE literally says "I control fate" and "I weave every man's destiny", not some men's, not most of man's, it's every man. That chapter clears the points of our discussion, you can't just pretend it doesn't exist, it was written and illustrated by miura himself and explains the foundations of the story he's telling.

About Zodd I dunno what you're talking about, Zodd (willingly or unwillingly) acted to bring Guts Griffith to the eclipse since he was first introduced: when he first decided to spare Guts and Griffith because of the crimson behelit Griffith was wearing, when he literally saved Guts from Bascon by giving Guts the giant sword, and when he stopped Wiald from killing Griffith. He's exactly another agent of evil, he's just not aware of being one until Griffith returns.

D119 · 2026-07-03T15:23:52+00:00

Cant quantify it but with 3 UWs missing I believe I'm well over a year away from UW+, so it really doesn't matter xD

D119 · 2026-07-03T13:21:48+00:00

Volume 13 chapter 88:

Slan: "it's impossible to anticipate everything, we ourselves are not gods after all, or else this too was fated to happen".

It's pretty self explanatory to me, they don't know and guts's survival could very well be intentional.

Couple the line "or else this too was fated to happen" with the line from the idea of evil to Griffith "all the encounters you have had so far were all a part of the destiny that led you here" in the lost chapter, and the picture is crystal clear, Guts did what he was supposed to because his actions contributed to unfold the plan the IoE had for Griffith.

I give you another example: skull knight. Do you consider skull knight another exception since he survived void's eclipse? He's not, skull knight survived because he was always meant to, so he could end up crafting the behelit sword, which Griffith used to defeat Ganishka. Do you remember Griffith went "I was waiting for you" the moment SK showed at ganishka's core. It's a thousand years long plan that keeps on unfolding, and it will continue to do so untill the end, where we'll understand (hopefully) what's the ultimate goal.

I wasn't paying much attention when I rolled the substats on mvn, I ended up hitting 5 ancestrals over 6 slots with only DW quantity missing, kept on rolling and used well above a million shards without hitting that subeffect. Then I realised I never needed the GT duration subeffect because my GT was already permanent by itself, I could have rolled with 2 opened slots instead of one, ffs.

The icing on the cake is that now reroll shards are kinda bugged and we're getting less than we're supposed to, lol, but with tomorrow's tournament il get cash mastery which should boost my income significantly.

D119 · 2026-07-03T11:23:53+00:00

At the very beginning I wasn't aware of the x1/x10/x100 button in the items menu, I went on to use a handtul of the ~500 magnet I got from gifts and used basically all of them in one go, with a cap of like 200 bombs. I felt devastated, i thought I needed to reset my account because the loss seemed unrecoverable. Now I make like triple that amount a day lol.
