At the dawn of a new arc, Volume 22 presents us with our two forefront characters in the series. This volume finally accelerates the story to where it needs to be, having our protagonist confronting with the antagonist in the memorial of the Band Of Hawks To be honest, I felt that some of the chapters in this volume could have been incorporated into the last volume like the chapters about Lady Farnese and her whole back story. Switch up the some chapters from volume 21 and 22, and Volume 22 could have better served as the conclusion of the previous arc. Anyways enough of the Conviction Arc and lets move on to the new Band Of Millennium Hawks arc. After reading this volume, I have very high hopes that the next series of volumes will be good. Griffith is back, and he has fashioned himself a team of elite soldiers, each one of them being very unique. We have of course Zodd that has been in the series ever since the beginnning, and then we have some soldier with a crescent shaped helmet and some badass Kushlan exile that kind of reminds me of Arakune from the Blazblue series. Speaking of Griffith, I absolutely love his armor and helmet. Its whole symbolism behind it and how cool it looks makes me wanna read more just to see it. However I'm really looking forward to seeing Guts new armor as the pictures I unwillingly saw show Guts in this striking black armor that screams badass. More or less, this volume to me served as a basis for the whole arc, moving the story along and giving us readers the sense of who is on what team as we now have our protagonist and antagonist in the same playing field.

Favorite scene from the volume
To be honest I didn't really care for the last couple of chapters where the volume shifts focus to Lady Farnese and her servant. All I got from that is that they were just some fucked up people with some fucked up family issues and that Lady Farnese is a pyromaniac crazy bitch.
Next up, Volume 23
