Just when you and your drugged out girlfriend think you're safe in your big falcon castle... the god hand ghoulies strike! We review the past two episodes of the Berserk Continuation, including our stupafied reaction to Guts punching his way out of the stupa, and the sudden and comedic appearance of the God Hand in Falconia to tease their kindred softboy, Griffith.

Guts has been a very special boy since birth. And that means...?

Danan reveals herself as the ruler of elves, and helps the group dive into Casca's dreams to restore her mind. We discuss Danan's form, the parade of elves, baryutes, and how some of these things reveal a little about the God Hand and how some future events may have played out.

We finally make it to Skellig, after trekking across the world for more than 1/3 of the series. This first part of the re-read takes us from the wicker man fight to the discussion with the great gurus.

With the incomplete story of Duranki now behind us, we leave Usum behind and are introduced to their prototype, Subaru—the main character in Amazones, the original story Miura had planned for what became Duranki. Amazones is a unique look into one of Miura's draft ideas, and Duranki shows us how he finalizing it. It also gives Duranki readers a sense of closure, because we get to see what may have been ahead for the rest of the series with a surprise conclusion that culminates in The Trojan War.

We wrap up the chapters of Duranki and end with speculative talk about what we think would have happened next, not only with Tasi Village, but also with Usum's life, and also about whether or not Studio Gaga should have continued the work.

Our review of Kentarou Miura's final new series, the short-lived Duranki.

Rakshas gets Home Alone'd by Rickert, Silat and the Tapasa. What could go wrong?

We cover the infamous SLAP, along with an incredible fight with Rakshas as Rickert makes his choice for the future, and gains new allies in the Bakiraka.

Rickert walks through Falconia's gates and is wary of meeting up with his former leader, now the Falcon of Light. We finally see Griffith's promised city. What's kind of city would he make, and what will Rickert choose when they're finally face to face...?

Rickert and Erica race toward the protective walls of Falconia, with Fantasian creatures nipping at their heels. It's our first real glimpse of life for humans in this wild new world through the lens of two familiar characters as they approach the new capital with eyes wide open.
