I thought that Wyald himself was an interesting character and Kentaro's portrayal of his debauched natured is very nicely done. I liked how we were shown that his troops only serve out of fear. His duel with Guts is excellent, definitely one of my favorites, I love how relentless it is and how ultimately it could be called a draw. Great stuff.
Wyald is completely merciless and thanks to him this volume contains some very graphic scenes of violence and rape. I have heard people critise Kentaro for having several scenes of sexual violence in the series but I don't mind as he never glorifies it and the sequences are always deeply shocking. I can honestly say I've never felt that the series is gratuitous in its depiction of these topics, it is after all a dark fantasy horror but to each their own.
Zodd was in it too, I love Zodd, so yeah I really liked this volume even though it is a pretty horrific one.
