Kentaro, how could you? This book is pure unadulterated horror, the scenes in this book are just terrifying and as with the previous post I think it would be unfair to discuss them at length. What I will say is that Guts has every reason to be angry. There is a lot to like in this book and I really am impressed at how all the plot threads are all pulled together. Void, a member of the Godhand, discusses causality and fate in a way that I found very interesting. I loved the characterisation of Guts in this book, he is at once more human and more inhuman than we have ever seen. The human side is centred around issues of loss and we see some rare glimpses of weakness from him. His actions are definitely inhuman, the experience of the eclipse to me seems to rob him of what little innocence he had left. Its powerful stuff.
I loved that this book contained both my favourite the side characters. The Skull Knight and Zodd reappear in this volume and we get a little more back story about them both. Kentaro is certainly master story teller and has brought this arc to an amazing crescendo of gore but the arc isn't over just yet, the true conclusion is in the next book.
