Skullkast

Casca and Schierke set their sights on new magical feats, and a bony visitor finally speaks after more than 10 years. All that plus FF7 Remake talk at the tail end of the show.

The crew gathers to see how we're all coping with COVID-19. And with no Berserk to feed our hunger, we go through Kentarou Miura's complete history, which you can also explore too. We cap off this discussion with our thoughts on the current hiatus, and what Duranki could / should / might / do for Berserk.

I invited forum member Rhombaad on the podcast for a brief conversation about his old game travels, a personal project he's undertaken over the past decade to revisit classic games.

Casca was always badass. But her return to the stage introduces new challenges for Guts. We dive Casca's return to form, and all the anguish along the way. Plus, a brief review of the upcoming new series from Miura's studio: Duranki.

Griffith lays out the foundation for his "second empire," and then vanishes. What happens next could be a m-e-g-a-t-o-n. He sure seems do be doing great things for humanity now that he's obtained his kingdom, so what does that spell for where Miura is taking us, and what does that say for the thesis of Berserk? Also, a short history of how we arrived at the Moonlight Boy = Griffith theory from more than a decade ago.

We celebrate 100 episodes with something very different -- a video podcast. Walter, Aazealh, and Griffith — play through all of the Berserk Dreamcast game from 2000. Find the video at https://www.skullknight.net/podcast100

Walter and Aazealh talk about the new forum software, the new Berserk Compendium, and the first Deluxe edition of the Berserk volumes. Finally, it's onto the future of Berserk. How many volumes will it take for us to reach the end? What are the major milestones to hit before then?

The star of our latest character study is everyone's favorite furry loner, Nosferatu Zodd! From his allegiance to Griffith, to his eternal bosom buddy the Skull Knight and his spiky-haired counterpart Guts -- Aaz, Griff and Wally comb through the past, present and future of this iconic character.

Sonia takes on an even more important role in the story, so what does that mean for her character arc as we move forward? And how will this new traveling technique affect future developments?

It's a new era -- shorter Berserk episodes means the return of topic podcasts. We take a long overdue dive into the Bakiraka and their significance in Berserk, along with their historical background.

Despite this episode focusing primarily on giants, this sure was a short recording. Forum member and Patreon supporter m joins us to talk about all these lumbering, astral fashionistas and what could be in store next time.

The big moment has finally arrived! We gush and chat about Casca's first words upon returning, her BRAIDS, the future of the series and more.

The latest Berserk episode marks the return of a major character. We've reached a stage in the story of Berserk where nearly everything that had been prophecied has already occurred. So what's next?

As the corridor of dreams nears its conclusion, Miura shows us he's still full of surprises. The last page of the latest episode, and what the next memory will end up revealing, takes us most of the episode to process. But Walter still gets a chance to revisit his weird crush on Flora.

It's been a while since our last recording, but we've still got plenty of meat on these bones. In this episode of Casca's dream world, we're treated to Berserk Armor + Guts Dog + Sylph's Cloak + Golem hijinks, and of course a big ol' bird! Put em' all together, add some trauma, and baby you've got a stew going! Also, Walter ducks out for the last hour of the show while Griff, Aaz and Grail discuss the latest Star Wars.

Walter and Aazealh are joined by a special, brainy guest to tackle 20 of the most-asked questions in all of Berserk. Is there really a difference between fate and causality? Maybe apostles aren't so bad? What's an idolm@ster, anyway? Listen along as we decapitate every misconception in existence.

One of the series' biggest moments is here. We go through each page of the incarnation of Femto and close out the Conviction Arc.

Things get phallaphobic in Casca's dream world. We also talk all about the new Grunbeld novel and recap Season 2 of the anime, which recently concluded.

We dive deeper into Casca's mind, getting her thoughts on key moments in the Golden Age. Farnese takes a huge step forward. The mountain looms forbodingly on the horizon.

A Berserk novel, 3 bros bro'n out over brewskis, Casca's defenses, and Farnese's future in our review of Ep 349.
