The Superculture Review

Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc - Part II

Episode Summary

Gareth and Reid continue diving into the swampy waters of Kentaro Miura's Berserk with a new episode covering chapters 198-216 (from volumes 24 and 25), "The Witch" through to "Corruption." We spend a bit of time mired in a bog of magical exposition here before talking about the series' focus on paganism, its trolls, and, most importantly, the introduction of an all-time great character: Miura's take on a kelpie. Next time: chapters 217-236, from "Retribution" through to "Roar of the Sea," in volumes 26 to 27.
