Now that the plot has finally caught back up to its post-Eclipse \"present-day,\" we're back to a giant sword-wielding, arm cannon-toting, scowl-enthusiast version of Guts. With his return--and the introduction of new characters from Berserk's fantastical take on the medieval Catholic Church--there's a lot to discuss with regards to the comics' depiction of paganism versus Abrahamic religious views, Guts' now superheroic status, and why a chubby-cheeked, mischievously evil ghost baby may represent a shifting portrayal of the story's demons."}
