Berserk Volume 20 to me is more or less a build up of what is about to happen in the final chapters of the current story arc. Everything has been set to motion and now Guts is back in a familiar setting similar to the conclusion of the last story arc; and I must say shit is about to go down. The tower is crumbling, taking form of a hand while the people are rampant and desperately trying to run away from the demons that are attacking. Mozgul and his crew for some reason grew wings and everyone is frantically trying to burn Casca alive in attempt to end this nightmare. And where is Guts? Where he always is and that is in some distant area not knowing what the hell is going on trying to fight hordes of demons. It seems that Guts is always a couple steps behind everyone else and any time he does finally catch up, he only finds himself left in the dust again. Runs to the cave, Casca is kidnapped. Climbs the tower, Casca is in the hands of Mozgul. Emerges from the crumbling tower, Casca is about to get burned alive. Poor Guts just can't keep pace with everything that is going around him. I guess it's just him trying to defeat his fate and the prophecy that he can not accept. Yet no matter how hard he tries, he always ends up joining in when its too late just like at the conclusion of Volume 13. I'm curious to see when Griffith comes in as we haven't seen much of him in this story arc. It's pretty much inevitable though that in the last volume, Griffith is going to show up. I just hope that maybe Guts gets some revenge for letting Griffith fuck his women right in front of him, that's just wrong.
What will happen in the conclusion of this arc?
Next in Volume 21
