Mo_Steel posted:Hell yes. Too bad those both update about as often as this does. Honestly I think we were supposed to, the first panels where it shows up are drawn in such a way that it hides how much bigger he is than the old woman. What a horrifying fate she suffered; if I had to be eaten by some sort of horrible monster like a Titan I'd rather be bitten in half and/or swallowed whole...not consumed slowly while still being alive. :gonk :

Vincent Valentine posted:Actually that's a really good point. Sasquatch said that they all have something in the nape of their necks. That guy might have something, but he's not that much larger than your average person(by Titan standards), so he's definitely not piloted. What would he have in his nape?

Vincent Valentine posted:I was so sure that titan was her dad. Seriously, just compare their faces. All's well that ends well, though! Well, except for the old woman. She's proper hosed. But she's still alive! Sasha's just lucky this isn't like other manga, that flashback would've been a death sentence.

I could not help but notice it. It's a really nice way of reusing an action from a flashback. A really great chapter overall.

No Wave posted:Has Berserk killed off anyone significant in the present? A few, but most of the deaths in Berserk serve a narrative point. At this point of the narrative, it's not really necessary for them to kill tons of the cast off, since the point is that Guts is finding firmer ground at the moment.

Berserk is clearly setting the stage for Guts to use a Behelit and sacrifice all his friends for the power to kill Griffith. I have to admit though, after the flashback and her quiet resolve, I was fully expecting Sasha to get chomped at the end of this chapter, and then we'd have yet another example of courage dissolving in the face of reality like what happened to Mike. Thankfully, potatoes and smoked meat won out.

We've still got Connie's character left to develop. There's no doubt about it that his village was completely razed.

In fact, has Sasha provided all of the comic relief thus far? I honestly can't remember any such moments that didn't involve her.

I can't recall anything funny that did not involve her. I hope that fact alone gives her plot armor. On the other hand, that would make things predictable.

I don't think that Sasha is particularly important to any of our main cast, so I doubt that there's going to be any dramatic deaths involving her. I guess that counts as plot armor?

I like how this series has inverse plot armor. The more entertaining and relevant to the story someone is, the more likely they are to die horribly.

New chapter out! I love this comic. There's always a little thread of hope that shows up, one that will invariably be burned away. But humankind carries on.

I am starting to suspect there is no breach on the wall. The only reason to think so is the titan attack, but it doesn't make a lot of sense the wall got destroyed at some random location when breaking it at it's weakest point, the doors, is already pretty hard. Then there is the titan at Connie's house, which could not have gotten there under it's own power. Maybe it just spawned there, in some way. Maybe that is the origin of all titans currently attacking.

Wow, so Crista and Ymir are suddenly both much more relevant. I'm hoping it's more than just a bodyguard relationship and that Ymir is actually another titan pilot.Wili posted:I am starting to suspect there is no breach on the wall.

If titans can create the solid substance that makes up the wall and armor, then is it possible for them to dissipate it at will as well?

I'm thinking there might be some kind of external catalyst that can be used to induce titan transformations in people to create sudden flood waves of random size titans – and from the looks of it, the process comes with no guarantee of success for the unwitting recipient. With the way that Titans behave (eating people only to vomit them later, etc) it seems pretty clear they're in some way artificial and not natural creatures. This manga is so great

Why is this manga so great? Because it takes such awful, awful delaying tactic tropes such as cutting away right when someone names a newly important character or reveals a secret about someone, then cuts back to see the shocked reactions of everyone but never saying that person's name while this one just does that and then tells you who they are a couple pages later.
