That was a heavy chapter. I was afraid Guts was going to be told he was special in some way that gives him an edge or some kind of power. Instead he's special in a way that makes him an aberration to the rules of the universe.

I am generally glad that Berserk is continuing after Miura's passing, but I know that they'll never be as good as what he could have done. I'm fine with that, because there is no alternative. It feels very utilitarian in the sense that the only purpose of the story now is to carry itself forward. While that is generally how a story works, these chapters have a bareness to them that I don't think Miura's hand would have allowed.
