Its mentioned at the beginning of the arc that the merrow were the ones who sealed the sea god away in the first place. Having them come to battle him when he awakens isn't much of a stretch.

Here's a rip of the first 10 minutes.

The CG is still conspicuous, but I kind of like it.
That movie looks totally amazing, totally buying when it comes for DVD!
By the way, does anyone here thinks that, with the Berserk movies coming, would it pressure Miura into advancing the Manga
A trve man never dies, even when he's killed!![]()
It seems to be one of the few plausible explanations... It's even worse that Sadamoto's Evangelion manga!

A trve man never dies, even when he's killed!Unless this whole trip is a shoot the shaggy dog plot. All of the more positive things happening were just to mislead them.
I mean they are leading Griffith right to a land filled with witches and stuff and he wants to kill said people.
A friend is someone you trust to help you move. A best friend is someone you trust to hide the body.
As I mentioned earlier, Miura has confirmed it won't be a Shoot the Shaggy Dog. Now, if only I could remember where I read that...
Also, still kind of confused on Griffith; does becoming a Godhand involve any of The Corruption at all, or is he no more evil as a Godhand than as a human? Because if it's The Corruption, he could theoretically be purged of it (provided there's something in The 'Verse powerful enough to do that, of course).

Not that I'm excusing Griffith, but I actually think there's quite a big jump in evil between being so desperate that you'd be willing to sacrifice anything to get out of desperation and raping a woman into insanity while forcing her boyfriend to watch. The former could be conceivably spun as a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds sort of thing, I think. After all, it was being broken and tortured that made Griffith want more power, followed by Conrad and Ubik giving him a push off the slippery slope. Now, none of this excuses Femto, but what I'm saying is I'm not entirely convinced that's all Griffith in there...
He had two choices to make the pain stop: One is to die. The other is to kill everyone who ever trusted him and become an avatar for the embodiment of evil. Either way, he was never going to be the same. Seeing him even consider the latter choice is in and of itself a Moral Event Horizon, let alone actually choosing it. At least, that's how I see it.

New chapter? Sweet!
I really liked it, and apparently we get another chapter February 10th.
