T H E. H Y P E. 🙌🏽💯
The berserker armor enters the fray! 💀 The design of it is so badass I’m actually fangirling rn. Guts is OFFICIALLY a savage now y’all, it was even stated in here. I don’t think I’m ready for the things to come. -
so what we have in this volume is the debut of the berserker armor.
oh wait a minute so the manga wasn't named for Gut's fighting style?
It seems so lol.
i think the armor is the same one with the skeleton king ... what is his name btw did they ever tell us his name ?
i think the armor sucks the life force of its wearer and the cover of the next volume is why i had that thought in the first place guts hair is turning white.
and not that only the skeleton king seems like he cant turn back to normal or something.
in this single volume Guts came closer to Griffith then he ever did before now he stands a chance now we see that the 5 angels are so near since the whore princess of the uterine manifested with no previous warning..
yeah its close but how close are we ?
will Guts have to kill all 4 angels before he gets to Griffith ?
do we have to see Zodd die?
will Zodd die at the hands of the skeleton king as should be since they are sword enemies?
will the skeleton king survive till the end? now that guts is so powerful in his own right?
i guess we have to read on to find out more -
No mere human can look at Berserker armor and not bow in awe of that design.
-
It's Berserk - not much I can say except please read this. It's fantastic.
I never thought manga would deal so well with sexual assault and the trauma that comes from it. Nuanced social commentary plus Lovecraftian monsters? What more does a gal need.
-
Introduction to the Berserker armor was fantastic.
-
Grunbeld isn't the most compelling of the new Band of the Hawk, but he conducts himself well in this volume and leaves a solid enough blow in my memory. Always nice to see an Apostle with honour, in any case.
Speaking of honour, I also enjoyed the meeting with Slan. I like it when the other Godhand show up, rare as it is. -
Berserker Armor - the most badass battle gear you will find in fiction in general.
-
Guts fights off a hundred trolls 😗
Skull Knight 😯
Slan 😮
Zodd 😳
THE BERSERKER ARMOR 🤯
I had to stop and process three or four times reading this one. Might be my new favorite volume. CHILLS EVERYWHERE -
Some really epic things going on in this volume with the appearance of some recurring characters as well as an upgrade for Guts.
-
ها این یادمه کدوم ولوم بود.
اونجا که جادوگرا میان.
چقدر یه سری حرفاش خوب بود. -
Armour upgrade and it’s badass baby!!!!
-
THIS IS LITERALLY THE MOST HYPE VOLUME OF THE WHOLE SERIES.
Skull Knight is the most metal character ever, and the Berserker Armor is the most metal thing ever. Guts going apeshit is always the best thing ever. The artwork in this volume is on a whole other
level of good, honestly, I'm speechless. This arc is too fire.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. -
(Zero spoiler review for Deluxe edition 9, which this volume is part of)
Sadly, this started off and reinforced every tiresome, frustrating aspect of this series for me, and once again, had me contemplating selling my entire deluxe collection. Yet something kept me pushing through this, as it has done many times in the past when similar feelings of annoyance have overcome this highly praised (and it must be said, overrated) reading experience. Volume 25 was one of the weakest offerings yet, with the near 200 page book focusing on one rather uninteresting and pointless battle. The dialogue was sparse and was Muira at his worst. The characters which I despise and pray to the literary gods will die very time I turn the page, were in peak cringe mode. Yet, thankfully, when volume 26 arrived, things quickly improved, straying back onto a darker, more interesting path. And perhaps even better, continued to improve right up through volume 27 and the end of the deluxe edition (which currently is not available to review here for some reason).
Dialogue became richer, more poetic... more frequent. We stopped fighting boring fodder and started running into some old and rather formidable favourites. I started to fall in love with the series again. I was reminded why so many people worship Berserk. And whilst there is too much filler and not enough killer across this long running series to have me on my knees praising this book to hell and back. When its this bloody good, thoughts of not continuing with these deluxe editions became a very distant memory indeed. 4/5 for volume 26.

Incredible, one of my favourite volumes yet - although I'm starting to understand fan frustration with Miura a little. I'm 26 volumes and 13 years into the series, but I feel like I'm only 30% to 40% of the way through the story, and they only JUST introduced the the series namesake ().
Combined with his slow chapter releases, I can see how this can be really frustrating. At the same time, the art is so good, the story is so good, the world is so good, and the characters are so good, that I'm okay with Miura taking his time to complete this series, even if it takes decades. Its without a doubt the most ambitious comic series I've ever read, from either the East or West.
In a perfect world of Fully Automated Luxury Communism, I'm sure he could just not release the manga at all until it was fully completed, but we don't live in that world. Artists gotta make a living. It sucks but if he was rushing it, I'm sure the quality would suffer.
Lets see if I still think that a year from now when I've finished the series and he has hardly released anything, but that's my opinion at the moment. -
Ah so this is the Berserker armor I’ve heard so much about! It’s delightful and well defined in the first few pages it’s presented in.
The series main ideas are progressed and the world is built upon. Guts realizes he’d thought lost.
Lady Farnese maybe gets some redemption and the “new and improved” Band of the Hawk make their first move against Guts. -
i believe in guts with his hair down supremacy
-
The Berserker Armor kakkoii
-
The armour is cool but I’m getting tired of all the pages of redundant violence
-
Speechless
ერთი ცხოვრება გვაქვ��� და ამ ერთ ცხოვრებაში ყველამ უნდა მოვასწროთ ბერსერკის წაკითხვა, საუკეთესო რამეა :') -
oh man... that Grunbeld apostle guy was huge... even dwarfed Zod... :O I don't know, even if Guts was in a good condition, he could take Grundbeld out. Guts really took a painful beating from Grunbeld, and he had already taken a terrible beating before that from Slan... that darn super sadist evil God hand woman. (actually came to propose an apostle position to Guts :O that was pretty interesting, i wonder where it would go if the skull knight didn't show up) And those rapist trolls were gross, don't get me wrong, i dug that gross design. lol And the berserker armors design after it took the Gut's inner animals shape was sick, that was a really really rad design. The manga ended in a very high climax, Guts wore the berserker armor with the help of the gang and was going back to kick Grunbeld's butt... and then they fought some and it ended there. Can't wait to read the next trade. :D

Gatts giderek daha büyük rakipler ile karşılaşıyor ve bu sırada kendisine yardım eden güçler, kahramanımıza bu mücadelede kullanabilecekleri güçlü silahlar takdim ediyor. Dev Kılıç bunlardan biriydi, takma kolundaki top, tatar yayı gibi silahlar bunlardandı... Şimdi de oldukça benzersiz bir silaha sahip oluyor. Seriye ismini veren "Berserk Zırhı"...
Ruh Ağacı Ormanı'nın hanımı, büyüler ve tılsımlar ile güçlendirilmiş müthiş bir zırhı Gatts'a veriyor ve onun kendi vücudunun acılarını hissetmeden dövüşmesini sağlıyor. -
La fine del combattimento con i troll, cominciata con il processo di maturazione di Ishidoro e Farneze ma poi degenerata con l'arrivo di una delle cinque divinità, e del Teschio.
E poi subito a lottare contro i nuovi Falchi, inviati a far fuori la strega della foresta... che prima di morire dà un ultimo dono a Gatsu, un boost determinante. E che sembra metterlo sempre più sulla via intrapresa a suo tempo dal vecchio re del Teschio. -
Finally the Berserk I love! Gripping and engrossing and gloriously violent!
So much gorgeous and dramatic action, the plot thickens and doesn't leave any room to breathe.
Guts compared his new companions to the Band of Hawk and I cried.
The new armor is a Look TM -
Wow! He gor the berserker armor. 😄
Favorite part of the series so far! -
Beginning was on the weird side for me but whoa that ending
-
now THIS is what i came for!

Amazing volume. God, I'm so sad Miura is gone.
-
It's annoying they are calling themselves the band of the hawk. After all of the losses and the sacrifice.
The sides are becoming more clear now and it seems I have made a right choice liking the skeleton knight. But Guts and his companions probably need to level up. We started with Guts, putting on that armor. Now he at least has a chance against those creatures and possibly the hawk himself? I wonder how the rest will gain more power, especially Casca. I am very upset about her situation and would like to see her recovering to her former self. I liked seeing her as a powerful leader. It would be so good to see her fight against 'the five'. -
Hell yeah! To think I needed a break from this series. Now I'm back to the point where I'm waiting on the manga to be shipped in on time. Blazed through two volumes in a day. The characters are playing up nicely. Farnese is the only character who I feel is there just to be there. She had interesting build up and is getting flatter in each volume.
There is a lot that happens here. I'm now interested in the story once more. Things were very one sided for a good bit. Let's see what happens.
