That Zeus-looking guy on the left just wanted a really nice beard. Edit: perc2 posted:One thing is very clear is he's using the design language of the ancient world in this older God Hand to parallel the Roman Empire analogue that was Gaiseric's kingdom. Most clearly seen as that weird greek play mask looking guy and the fact that the "lady" with lots of breasts is clearly inspired by Artemis Of Ephesus I was getting more of a Malificent vibe from her honestly, what with the horns and the way her face is framed. If these bozo's ever get names then I hope they take after famous fantasy characters to contrast the modern-Godhand Sci-Fi references.

As the latest eclipse draws to a close, Void surveys the vast swath of carnage laid out in offering for his newest comrade. He turns from left to right, observing each in turn, and as his sightless gaze falls on Conrad a single thought crosses his mind... "Man, I loving miss Lenny."

The fact that there were previous God Hand members who aren't around anymore means that they can die via ways other than the Dragonslayer, which makes me curious how or by whom

We all know how this comic goes; theres bad guys, then bad demon guys, then a big bad demon, and the hero kills them all. I've only bought a copy of "young animal" ONCE and I understand why this series is being reprinted in large book form. It being a normal magazine size really helps. Shame jump, weekly, and sundays get reduced on TPB. Blame! might be the first to do this "print the books in the same size" thing. In my opinion, it can look better when reduced anyway. I've been doing comics for decades, it took a while to accept that crunching the art down for a magazine/comic makes it look a lot better.

"Void, you wanted to see me?" "Yeah, Lenny, hey. Uh, see, I really appreciate all you've done in the Godhand, and you've done a great job. The 'literal stick person' look has had a good run and it brought in lots of Apostles. But, uh, well, I'm gonna have to...let you go." "What? Why?" "See, it's been 216 years, and we found a new hire. She's great, has a whole theme set out, really fits into the new 'Budget Hellraiser Sequel' look I want to cultivate from here on out. Even has a name based off a 60s sci-fi book. So. Yeah. Uh, talk to Emily, she'll give you your last check and slip to take to Unemployment. If you can have your desk packed up by Friday that'll be swell."

Strelok604 posted:oh yeah that would make sense wouldn't it lmao I'm dumb So, going by the series clues and what they've stated out right, he's a Wraith at the moment. He may have either been an Elf or a Human king in life, warrior either way, Godhand hosed his poo poo up and Void betrayed him. He got the Berserker armor and followed Guts path, including having a sorceress helping him. The difference was the berserker armor either straight up ate him, or left him in such a state that he was effectively dead. So they packed his soul or what was left of his body into the Skull Knight armor. In effect, he's a soul bound to his current armor, unwilling to die but not truly alive.

I don't get the sense Skullknight killed the previous members. He seemed similar to Guts, hunting down Apostles with his sword and magic armor, and only forged the behelit sword recently, and even that was able to take down a Godhand. It could just be that since there has to be a new one every 216 years, at some point before, one of the previous becomes part of the vortex of souls.

Or it could be that they are what the Godhand resembled prior to each of their respective eclipse ceremonies. The IOE is supposed to be people's subconscious desire for god - and these figures are clearly all inspired by older, 'dead' gods that maybe have been subsumed into the IOE - possibly the eclipse ceremony is the joining of an old god construct to a willing soul... which I guess brings the IOE one step closer to having direct influence in the mortal plane.

Seeing as how it's been like two years since I last read Berserk, so like two issues behind, finally caught up. I really need to go back and re read a lot of stuff. That huge brain guy is an amazingly detailed Martian from "Mars Attacks" that also looks like a bigger brained "They Live" alien and it loving rocks. I just want him to lift a finger and to just menacingly go ACK!

So I read this theory the other day after finishing my first reread of Berserk since Rickert slapped Griffith or the sea god arc or something (and discovered that the first time I read was already well over a decade ago) I found it fascinating and it pretty much explained a lot of what's been going on for me. Also that the God Hand are trying to eliminate the creatures of the astral realm because the Idea of Evil's power is over humanity specifically. Finally, interesting easter egg:

I usually use the amount of unread posts on the Berserk thread to let me know when to check in again so I missed like 5 chapters when the old thread got gassed. Not caught up yet, but i just wanna say: seeing Casca in armour and using a sword again was fuckin' cathartic. edit: im caught up now, goddamn miura can draw. i dont care that much about the IoE/godhand lore, but i am all in for SK/void backstory crepeface fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Nov 13, 2020 |
