When Guts recovers days later, he is forced into joining the Band of the Hawk when Griffith defeats him in a duel and later learns of the Beherit pendant Griffith possesses. Three years pass and the Band of the Hawk grow in power and numbers as they are employed by the Kingdom of Midland for its Hundred Year War against the Tudor Empire, and Griffith rises in the kingdom's hierarchy after a successful battle. During a siege, Guts and Griffith encounter the Apostle Nosferatu Zodd, a fearsome immortal warrior who nearly kills them before noticing Griffith's Beherit. Zodd takes his leave while warning Guts that Griffith will be his doom once the latter dream crumbles while still considering him a friend. Berserk Volume 11 TPB". Dark Horse.

Despite the story expanding to include a dozen other characters and themes, it still has the same one guy doing all the work. While Guts was butchering to pieces anyone standing in his way, it was excused because he was getting the spotlight. Now a dozen other characters get some spotlight and are close to worthless in battle. How can you care about all the extra stuff thrown in there when none of them can stand on their own without Guts constantly jumping it to save them?Griffith is the most interesting of the motley crew as he is very complex and unpredictable. He has a playful side, a merciless side, a charismatic side and a childish yet vulnerable side. He can't be put into any single category. The gallant and elegant master of the sword has more layers than an onion. His brotherly rivalry with Guts is also a lovely and dementedly joyful sight to behold. This is the major turning point of the series and it only gets better and better from here. Berserk Deluxe Volume 14 HC". Dark Horse Comics. Archived from the original on November 24, 2023 .

With a new band of loyal companions at his side, Guts begins to learn how to trust, grow and love as he once did during his time in the Band of the Hawk while struggling to reconcile with his inner darkness and his hatred towards his former friend Griffith.

Not to mention his rival Griffith who is equally complex and incredibly rich with psychological depth, but there will be more on that as you delve further in. I would strongly recommend this series for hardcore fans of fantasy and horror, so long as you're prepared to be traumatized for life by the disgustingly harsh nature of its content.

PERO tengo que admitir que engancha, se lee fácil, rápido y Guts me ha gustado bastante (a pesar de no saber mucho de él aún). Es el primer manga que he leído en toda mi vida y no esperaba que me gustara tanto, pero al César lo que es del César. Eso sí, me han dicho que el dibujo mejora conforme van avanzando los volúmenes y lo he agradecido, porque me daba la sensación de que esto era un borrador que no quisieron mejorar. Y le doy de puntuación 4.75⭐️ porque he visto faltas de ortografía que me han molestado mucho y que la traductora pedante que hay dentro de mí no ha podido dejar pasar.
