Evil Horde 1 & 2, Raging Torrent, Shaman, Qliphoth (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER)
These trolls be gettin’ WET thanks to the ultra-powerful witch Schierke! Guts is breaking trauma cycles and showing kindness and respect to this magical youngster, while Isidro looks on in shame, feeling that he’s worthless to his new crew. We get even more tug of war between the classically religious and the magical/spiritual aspects of reality here as well, ending in a highly unexpected change in our resident annoying priest character. Oh, and Isidro gets his iconic sword!

Ambition and Reflection, Magic Sword, Mirror of Sin, Magic (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER)
Oh the trolls they are a cummin'! Uuuuuh, COMIN', I meant, of course... Either way, we get even more fantastical, existential, and occult in these chapters, with the badass of badasses, Schierke, invoking the lords of the east, west, north and south to protect Guts and crew (as well as the villagers and that a-hole priest!) while they take out this horde of nasties...that is, until a giant peepee shaped Ogre enters the scene and puts a wrench in their gears. Enjoy!

The Astral World, Magic Stone, Elementals, Enoch Village (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER)
We're getting a beefy-ass lore bomb in these chapters thanks to our new witch friends Schierke and her mistress Flora! What is the astral realm...the interstice...the Godhand...and the nature of Griffith's newly reincarnated powers? All of this is discussed in semi-mindbending detail - plus, Guts's JRPG party gets kitted out with magical weapons and armor for the journey to take out horrific trolls for Morgan, the boring NPC from the previous episode. Enjoy!

Trolls, The Witch, Mansion of the Spirit Tree Parts 1 and 2: (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER)
Schierke, baby!!! It's the official introduction of everyone's favorite little (and mega powerful) witch in training. Plus, Guts, Farnesse, Isidro, Serpico and the rest of the crew are forced to deal with an ever more "fairy tail-ish" world, fighting off vicious disgusting trolls, and adorable regenerating golems.

The War Demons, Banner of the Flying Sword, Wings of Light and Darkness, the Night of Falling Stars, Like a Baby: FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER
The Holy Evil War is getting ready to pop off, as we get a lot of world building from Griffith's apostle-infused side of the battle: He has giants, he has superpowered men, he has shadowy supernatural assassins, all set to...liberate Midland? He's trying to be the savior of the world, using his powers of The Prince of Longing to make his new subjects fall in love with him. Also, Farnesse has another existential crisis, but this one is full of hope and acceptance as she navigates her new purpose in life, and, for now, leaves the despair behind her.
Three Berserk fans (a writer-swordsman, a collectibles guru, and a musician-animephile) come together to break down Kentaro Miura's magnum opus, chapter, by chilling chapter. Ryan, Steve, and Joey discuss, critique, and expound on the themes, artwork, throughlines, and subtext found in this decades-long story of trauma, rage, ambition, and destiny. The story of Berserk - and this Berserk podcast - is not for the faint of heart - rated a hard R for sure!
