A slower volume, but it needed to be that way after the absolute insanity of the eclipse, the series quite literally needed to build itself back up from the ground up, and it does it pretty well

Even before the eclipse started this was fucking tragic, I think that even without the eclipse this volume would've been a 10, it's just the cherry on top of this absolutely tragic volume

The worst of the golden age
The ending foreshadowing and the scene with Guts and Griffith in the cart is amazing but everything else is just not good at all, Wyald is just uneeded, and I couldn't care less about him

There is a leak and the start of a low point of the golden age arc in this volume, everything with finding Griffith is amazing and tragic seeing this once beautiful and gracious leader tortured down to this husk of a man is amazing, but what follows is pretty boring, Wyald and the Bakiraka are just not good, overall the volume is great though

By far the most graphic up to this point...
The king and princess scene was disgusting as hell, and I'm not completely sure if it was needed, but the Guts and Casca scene is beautiful and probably the best sex scene of all time

The most impactful volume up to this point, the battle between Guts and Griffith is absolutely brilliant in every aspect, from the inner monologue to the setting to the art it's perfection

NOW THIS IS WHERE THE PEAK STARTS
This is where Berserk truly came into its own not only does it begin the masterpiece that is the Golden Age arc, it also has the absolute peak of the black Swordsman arc, especially after reading the entire series with us meeting Griffith for the first time

Like I said in my previous review the begining of Berserk is unbelievably weak compared to everything that comes after, volume 2 is the worst volume in the series, the first volume at least was a good introduction especially word building wise, which is the strongest aspect of the begining of the series but this volume was just that edge from the begining but for an entire volume with no stops, this is just mindless edgy action for a volume
