I'm very concerned right now that Hawks is stalling AFO so Endeavor can make an attack, but Dabi is on his way to fight Endeavor. The last time that happened, Endeavor completely froze and wasn't able to fight Dabi at all. I am very concerned that Horikoshi is going to make the timing so that Dabi pulls Endeavor's attention and Hawks, wingless Hawks, is left alone with AFO's full attention. I'm concerned that this situation is going to be their last parallel.

I know it is taking Deku a long time to show up (and the memes have been impeccable), but it honestly makes sense when you calculate everything.

During Kamino, we learn that slightly-weakened All Might flew about 5km in 30 seconds. We also know that the island Deku is on is about 200km from the mainland (not necessarily from UA, 200km from shore). Let’s keep things simple and just use these numbers (Deku may move faster, but he may also be travelling further so it all evens out).

If it takes him 30 seconds to travel 5km, then it would take him 1200 seconds to travel 200km (40x the distance All Might did). That is 20 minutes. So yes, a very large gap of time for things to occur.

However, we can also get a vague idea of how long he’s been flying. We know that Deku left the island at approximately the same time Dabi began spouting off his backstory (both happen in chapter 349). If we use the Kamino battle as a reference for how much time has passed (because remember, all the battles are happening simultaneously), it means the Todoroki brothers had time to fight (which was so quick villains in other locations hadn’t even started fighting), Dabi was briefly down, and then he got back up again seemingly immediately. Honestly, it seems like it took maybe 5-10 minutes at most. Definitely less than 20.

So yeah, Deku still has quite a while to go

“he turned himself into a heart, funniest shit ive ever seen”

“I save heart by giving it CPR” (repeated 3x over the course of about a minute)

“look at this peach”

“there’s just a guy in there! that’s a whole ass man”

“I feel like you’ve put my brain in the fandom equivalent of Mickey’s dick smasher”

“that’s a human man”

(to our dog) “are you hearing this shit?” (repeated several times)

“how many ventricles do you have to forget before it kills someone? i think just one”

“im going to vomit my uterus out of my mouth and someone is gonna have to shape shift into it” “i mean... do you really need it?” “its the principle”

(starts to walk away, turns back) “what the fuck?”

Berserk 365/366 Thoughts

So I got around to reading the new Berserk chapters. Wasn't really on the edge of my seat waiting but again - got other IRL shit to do and worry about in the meantime.

Firstly,

When they said that two chapters were going to be released at once, I knew there was a catch. And yes, we didn't get the typical 12-ish paged chapter but double, rather we got about 6-ish pages for each chapter which adds up to the usual chapter release count. I guess they announced a two chapter release to draw people in. I mean, I'm not complaining because I pretty much suspected that there was no way they were release 20-something pages of pure plot and story after Miura's last written chapter. Again, for this continuation to work they *really* need to take things a lot slower.

But I'm not disappointed with what the new team put out, and I think they have a good handle on things story wise (art wise it's still compelling and engaging and any differences are very subtle. We'll have to see how far the team's imagination will go with grandiose concepts and structures). We're introduced with that sense of tranquility being smashed to smithereens, a classic in Berserk. A day filled with peace, nostalgia, optimism but bittersweetness upon the extended stay of Moonlight Boy is instantly shattered when it's revealed that the boy and Griffith are one and the same BUT also when, in typical neo-Griffith fashion, he wipes away any trace of his humanity. Jerk even gives the most smug-ass smile to Guts in 366.

If Griffith had kept crying from the memories of being Moonlight Boy - of being Guts and Casca's lost son - would Guts have reacted so? It's hard to say since Guts' berserker armor - if we're to be honest - has helped to set him off for a little less in the past. Note that I say "helped" because with or without the berserker armor one of Guts' primary struggles is his violent reactionary nature particularly after the Eclipse. A lot has helped to quell that side of him but the physical presence of Griffith is obviously still going to be a main source of conflict for his character development.

And it's hard to say if Guts would have stayed from attacking because it's not made clear if he had the revelation that the Moonlight Boy is his son in the same way Casca has (it's more likely that he's doubly infuriated because this boy who was so unassuming and nonthreatening around him and his group turned out to be his mortal enemy in "disguise" rather than it is likely that he's mad because Griffith body-hijacked his long-lost son).

Speaking of which, this turn of events is extra heartbreaking for Casca in particular, considering that the previous chapter had her in a rare moment of happiness and that it's heavily insinuated that bonding with the boy has helped to heal her heart/soul, if just in bits and pieces. I'm kind of a *bit* confused if the new team kept with the continuity of the last chapter, saw in the second to last panel of chapter 364 that Casca made it to the doorway to see Moonlight Boy transform into Griffith, while in 365/366 it seems like she made it to the doorway when Griffith was already transformed. It's very minor, but the result is the same as poor Casca is spiritually assaulted by the reactivation of her Brand. I only hope that when she pulls through, she'll retain her constitution in that Moonlight Boy isn't Griffith in disguise but that Griffith essentially corrupted and stole her baby, along with so much in her life. I hope that getting her boy back will be her motivation to get stronger and to more importantly overcome her trauma.

It's immense for the story concerning Griffith's presence on the island. Although not officially canon, neo-Griffith is ultimately the result of the Idea of Evil, so apparently the magic of Elfhelm even has its limits for protection (even Zodd is there!). Not only is Casca basically reduced to unconsciousness just for being in Griffith's presence (which is a far cry from her when she was in her lucid state: recall that, under the influence of the child (a detail that's now pretty much confirmed) Griffith protected Casca and she was able to withstand the immense pain of the brand to even then), but her protective amulet also breaks. Maybe it's more of a result of Griffith leveling up to about 100,000 since meeting Casca and Guts on the Hill of Swords way back when (since a literal SHIT TON has happened). Griffith is still literally on a whole other level.

The fact that I'm able to say all this is proof of my satisfactory with this chapter, and I think that Kouji Mori and his team are headed in the right direction with keeping Miura's vision for Berserk up to task.

And yet Guts powers through despite the immense pain his body must be undergoing but the berserker armor is allowing him to ignore. Mentioning the berserker armor again - since the Beast of Darkness is also making its presence known at the same damn time as Griffith - is bringing implications of its own, as Guts will not only have to contend the external enemy that is Griffith but the internal-external enemy that is the Beast. Guts is granted the endurance and resilience to go after Griffith but at what cost (update: for instance I just noticed that his vision failed again in one panel. It's very scary considering Guts only has one working eye left).

(And yes very good that the plain serious Puck made a rare appearance! Hope we'll see more of that going forward!)

Okay so Berserk ch.  365+366 thoughts. Spoilers below.

Art was really good, and I liked seeing everyone in elfheim reacting to Griffith’s aura. Does a good job of creating a sense of weight and enormity, which has been important in Berserk for a long time. Reminds me of earlier parts of the series where we’d have huge panels of a battle, or monsters arriving, to create a sense of grandeur and terror.  Also really liked Guts’ frenzied attacks against Griffith. It shows how irrational he becomes and how Griffith’s mere appearance throws him into a senseless rage. I also like how his eye looks like the Beast of Darkness’. 

Griffith’s calm smile the whole time was unnerving in the best way possible.

Some ppl. have complained that not a lot happens. Personally, while I think this is true, I don’t see it as a bad thing. It actually happens a lot in Berserk that a chapter will just be action and huge panels showing reactions/battles/etc. where the plot doesn’t advance much. Seems to me ppl are understandably overlooking this b/c of the huge build up for this release.

We know that Dracula was published in 1897, but in what year did it actually take place? The novel doesn't indicate an actual year, and it rarely mentions days of the week. However, we have a little something to go off of. I will be as spoiler-free as possible.

On October 30, Mina writes that she is taking a train to Veresti. On October 31, she writes that she arrived at Veresti around noon. On November 2, Jonathan writes that Mina should have arrived at Veresti at noon on Wednesday. Since there were no mentions of trouble with the trains and the detailed plans that went into their traveling, we can assume that Mina arrived at Veresti at noon on Wednesday, October 31.

There are only 14 different calendar years: seven 365-day calendars, each with January starting on a different day of the week, and seven 366-day calendars, again the same, but for leap years. Leap years occur every four years. Since the calendar follows a regular pattern, we can, if absolutely necessary, calculate the years where October 31 falls on a Wednesday. This is a relic of my mathematics degree, but I want to be clear that these dates are not ambiguous.

If we assume that Bram Stoker was not writing a story set in the future, and if we also assume that he wrote something in the most recent past, then the earliest year when October 31 was on a Wednesday without going past 1897 is 1894. If we allow for a little more wiggle room for the past, then we could consider 1888. But in keeping as close to the publication date as possible, this all likely takes place in 1894. While there are some assumptions going into this, I think they are reasonable.

Just realized chapter 366 will be 100 chapters since we lost Twice

I know Horikoshi likes separating Dabi development by the 100s (190 he meets Endeavor, 290 is his reveal), so I wonder if we will go back to Toga soon for the occasion
