Does she even *want* justice though? She still hasn't acknowledged what Griffith did to her.

Justice ...

​@@edwardgaines6561she certainly won't run back to him when she does remember, if not wanting justice

@@edwardgaines6561 well chapter 372 shows how much casca is desperately escaping falconia just to make sure guts is okay

I’m so glad you caught this. She was smitten with him. If anything we can assume she wanted to gift her virginity to Griffith when he got his kingdom. This might be tmi but sex for women is so emotional. Beyond what you’ve ever read or heard. When women truly give their bodies to men they trust , it’s like giving someone your literal heart, like a piece of you you’ll never get back. Griffith …. Likely wanted it from her. He was so pained , he was so fixated that it was likely something of a reward. So when guts not only took it , but accepted it FROM HER , it likely added to his pain. Everyone thinks Griffith is evil but…. Honestly…. The way casca acts during the eclipse is almost like she can’t handle a sort of betrayal. Guts had beautiful love with her, something she only thought Griffith could give her. It must have torn him apart. It’s weird to think of but I think Griffith genuinely loved them both. Not like traditional polyamory, but like the real Griffith, really couldn’t decide who he loves. A man , or a woman. He could easily be with them both sexually. But it seems like more than that.

@@anjamari4670 Good thoughts, but you're being very charitable in regards to Griffith. The only side he is one is his own. 😅

@@edwardgaines6561 and I’d say you’re not familiar enough with psychology, and you aren’t able to see how complex he truly is.

@@anjamari4670 No, I'm not Sigmund Freud, but on the surface we can all condemn Griffith for his henious actions.

@@edwardgaines6561 where did I say that you can’t hate someone and understand how complex they are ? It’s like I’m talking to a shrimp

i don’t think nobody actually agrees with him unless they’re crazy, most people just justify it bc that audience is spiteful. they want a reaction & they want to know that they’re making ppl emotional.

griffith was a fleshlight for a year

I feel this. I had to put it down for a few days. I felt like the story gifted me complimentary PTSD after finishing the golden age arc. I understand why it happened to give Gut’s justification of hatred toward Griffith, but I still think they did her dirty.

It's such a shame that we know more about Farnese's childhood and family than we do Casca's family. Miura should've given us a Casca origin instead of that damn boat arc.

@@edwardgaines6561 I’m not upset at it tbh. Yeah it would’ve been great to see more of her origin story yet I’m kinda glad we don’t at the same time. Besides, Miura gave us just enough clues already to piece it together so I’m satisfied.

@@edwardgaines6561 Casca, Roderick, Silat, Azan and Zodd deserves spin-offs explaining their backstories way more than Grunbeld!

No wonder she was broken after that. Being raped was bad enough, but it was done in front of her beaten, helpless boyfriend and her rapist was the person she used to worship and spent a good part of her life fighting and bleeding for that man. "B..but...but she didn't resist! She must've enjoyed it otherwise she would've fight Griffith or try harder to escape!" Motherfuckers, Casca just watched her friends died violently after an army of eldritch abominations showed up out of nowhere and proceeded to rip them apart. She passed out from fighting those demons and next thing she knew she was stripped naked, had no idea where she was, and her boyfriend was fucking dying in front of her. There was a lot for Casca to digest, and as you mentioned, the Brand basically kept her incapacitated. The only reason she didn't scream in agony louder or try harder to resist is because even Miura knew those panels were already hard to read as they were. Not to mention, it was Griffith who saved her from a rapist is now a rapist himself, Casca must've been heartbroken that she lost any will to fight in that moment of weakness and immense pain.

​​@@korawitbuttramee618actually that moment is realistic, woman in real life when they being R often freezing, cant move their body. because that is self defend mechanism. Its derive from our animal instinct. when animal being eaten they will freezing. the goal is to fool the predator as if the Victim were dead. some predators are not interested in carrion.

Not sure why you had to bring politics into this 🙄😒 the fact is that even in today's world of sjw's and well meaning "feminists", especially feminist men, there is an extremely deeply ingrained misogyny resulting from literally thousands of years of degradation of women. This makes it difficult to write women, going too far in one direction or another - either making them weak shallow damsels or writing them as basically men in a woman's body. It's similar to the phenomenon of women, or especially young girls, going through a "not like other girls" phase due to their internalized misogyny. They are rejecting the vapid, shallow, weak image of womanhood we've all had ingrained in us, and it's psychologically confusing so rather than embracing true feminine strength, they try to become more masculine. Rejecting traditionally feminine stereotypes. It's all very psychological, and has nothing to do with "lefties" or whatever. We just have a long way to go as a species to truly be rid of our misogyny. Berserk is a masterpiece and Muira did an amazing job writing Casca, but it's not perfect either. Still, she is a beautifully written woman, both strong and feminine. It's just a fact that not many people are capable of writing women well, especially if they're trying to write a female warrior. I'm not sure if I'm really explaining what I'm trying to say well, but hopefully I'm getting my point across. It's hard to explain what I'm trying to say. It's just fucking annoying as shit when people try to praise one extremely progressive and well written female character by rejecting/insulting the ideology that seeks to free women of the shackles of misogyny, just because it's not perfect yet. Especially when its flaws are literally caused by misogyny, not by the ideology of feminism (a leftist/progressive ideology). Growth and change is extremely slow, it's not going to be perfect for a very long time.

She is part of the tragedy!

Casca is one of the best female characters in Manga.

Ye she and guts I don’t know how they ain’t just straight up villains they don t need anymore reasons

She’s Guts’ tragedy. Without Guts experiencing his tragedy through her, then there wouldn’t be a story.

@@mrdude88 If Casca was the protagonist, and Guts didn't exist, it would still be a supreme tragedy.

No shit her life is a serious tragedy.

@@damianstarks3338 yup

I know no wonder she lost her mind.

​@@damianstarks3338 and her mind became infantile until she got her mind back. Which is really really sad!

​@Ryuko Matoi probably the saddest part.

@@benparrish672 No, the saddest part is that Guts makes a "tampon" for Casca at 15:01. 🙄

I thought it was funny when women were swooning and fangirling over Casca during the ball when Griffith was made a Lord.

That's awesome

Out of the story? My boy is about to give up to the beast of darkness, next few chapters could be one of the most important plot points in the whole story

@@alexdano96 I was referring more to the "Farming Arc" concept, popularized by _Vinland Saga_ and _Vagabond:_ the main protagonist undergoes an arc where they try another way of life, where they put down the sword and focuses on themselves, their life, and everything around it. Where they take a breather, and then come back stronger and more determined than ever. Guts undergoing this would be amazing writing. And we have Casca and Griffith to fill this "void" in the meantime. Bringing Guts to the Hidden Mountains would be a way of doing just that. Guts completly lost his way and if he pushes on, he may give in to the Beast. And there's no going back after that. It would also give his party some more importance and help him reconnect with some of his humanity he lost after the Eclipse. And no, this will not be all rainbows and sunshine, because this is still _Berserk_ we're talking about. B)

@Archon3960 it's not that I couldn't see the farming arc happening, but the way I see it, what's gonna happen next is, guts will give up to the beast, lose more of his humanity and maybe some friends because of it, getting closer to what happened to skull knight with the berserker armor and maybe we get some more SK info. Even though I've heard berserk is confirmed to have a happy ending, I don't think it's just gonna be all rainbows and sunshine, as you said. Best we can do is wait for the next chapters. I just started and finished reading the manga about 7-8 months ago. Can't imagine what's like waiting for chapters so long and doing that for years

@@alexdano96 We'll just have to wait and see. I could definitly see Guts sacrificing himself though. :/

Gypsy maybe? I remember in the 1997 anime Griffith told Guts he got the red egg from a gypsy. They are desended from northern indians so it probably makes the most sense given her skintone.

Kushan makes sense to me!

I figured she was modeled off some of the popular 90s super-human female protagonists of sci-fi at that time- they usually had short dark hair and tanned complexion.

35:03 How could he say *THIS?* 😖

Dammit I'm going to hell for laughing at this.

Actually

Queen sung some of the theme songs for remember

if this is ALL you got out of her whole storyline you’re legitimately so fucking weird man.

It’s either/or. Some fans use Falcon, but others use Hawk.

Falcon in manga, hawk in the anime
