Wow, Guts looks so epic. He kinda looks like a bat cross shark in the face there. It showed Guts inner and it looked like he was raging/suffering, I thought he was pain free while in the armor, unless if this is the armor transforming itself to something new.

[verseatyle]

Well it could be the beginning stages of his transformation like the Skull Knight, but obviously too early to tell. Here's hoping for the next chapter to come out sometime this year. Seriously!

[102jayday]

^ That would be pretty epic, but I don't want to see Guts become a demon, like I would like to see him get a form change in the armor but when he is out of it, its the same good old guts :D

[Gats]

AWESOME DRAWING :zomg

Guts is suffering (once again) for our own good. :'(

[Airget]

If I recall correctly didn't the old Witch lady imply that she "failed" to save the skull knight demon, that basically her relation to Skull knight is the same that Shierke has with Guts. This scene may be the very same instance that turned SKD into what he is now.

http://www.mangareader.net/96-1146-114/berserk/chapter-26.html


The lines in question would imply that he to wore the same armor that Guts is wearing now, but the power consumed him and turned him into a demon. If this is the case it'll definitely bring another purpose to this current arc then just showing the impact melding the two realities had on the world. I'll definitely be intrigued if she recalls the words of her old teacher in this chapter, it just seems to fit into the situation atm, since last we left off Guts all his senses seem to be going numb. So if he does anything now it's purely from the overstressing use of the armor. It'll definitely be an interesting chapter hopefully there's no cliffhanger or at least we get the date of the next upcoming chapter lol.

[Josef K.]

Yes, it was posted a few days ago on skullknight, maybe take it as a teaser for the great art that will yet again be present in this chapter, surprise, surprise. xD And the image seems not to be from the final page of the chapter, rather a cool double spread somewhere in between, we already got the cliffhanger of Guts suffering and losing the senses. I expect some Isma moments in this chapter as well as some cuts to the rest of the crew.

[GAT-X252]

-Seems like the song of the merrow counteracts the palpitations of the sea god (you know...the ones that were killing Guts)
-Sea god is dead
-Schierke: I left Guts Behind

Chapter 326 Siren

Schierke: The sound...has dissapeared? Can't hear anything. The heart? ...is moving. Why?

Schierke: This is bad...Guts....Guts is....

[102jayday]

woo GAT-X252! thank you.
so excited (haven't checked it yet though XD)
wow Sea god got owned and didn't last long. Guts still inside it?? That bottom left picture, what is happening.
"this is bad...guts... guts is" ?? I can't wait to see whats happening, is the inner demon dog the beast of darkness taking over fully and transforming or its just some kind of change anyway. Or is it just that guts is suffering massive amounts of pain again XD poor guts, I hate to see Caska's reaction.

[GAT-X252]

CAM RAW is out guys!

[Josef K.]

Epic double spreads are epic! The Sea God's eyes all looking onto Guts as he struggles are brilliant. The mermaid song panel of Isma and her mom is the best one though, I love Miura's approach in drawing the mermaids, it seems we may get to leave this island in the 2 chapters that follow this one.

Where's the raw ? Is it possible to PM me the link if you can't post it here ? Thanks.

[102jayday]

I like how GATs post says removed by request thanks to skullknight.net

Ty skullknight.net for making me NOT see the raw.... -.-

[GAT-X252]

No, it's ok.

They have the right to do whatever they please with their raw, someone PM'd me the raw so i wasn't aware of the rules of their forum.

But don't worry jay, another raw it's going to be out soon.

[102jayday]

Me can't wait but it looks like the next chapter will be interesting with what happens with Guts.

[Josef K.]

Here is the raw, if anyone is interested, thanks to the guys at animeprodestiny for uploading it. :)

[crazy_horse1989]

What does the last page say about Dragon's Dogma? And what do Guts and Griffith have anything to do with the game? If anyone can translate, can you please tell us? Are those two gonna be special characters in the upcoming game from Capcom or what? o_O
Also, that doesn't look anything like Guts..... >_>

[102jayday]

One of the guys said that its just the dragon domga guys wearing guts and griffiths armor thats all.

[crazy_horse1989]

Darn. Well, I guess it's okay, as long as the game gets a release on PC, so I can check it out, see if it's any good. And from the looks of it, they're adding the sword too? Maybe the famous Dragon Slayer from after the Eclipse, but that may be too much to hope for?

But, anyway, back to the matter at hand, it seems like the Beast is attempting to take over Guts. I wonder if that's what happened to SK too, back in the day. Maybe we will get more information about him in the near future.

No, no...Guts actually asks the beast for power, he says something like ""you are still hungry, you are not as annoying as you always are saying all that sh**, pierce my bones, my skin, everything, give me pain".

[Jack Van Burace]

Guts will likely be saved by the merrows. His health on the other hand, probably won't be so good. At least I believe no other Apostle will interfere until they reach Elven Island. Guts has come to a point where he cannot remove the armor without dieing, imho.

Spectrum Nexus got sick of waiting for the english scan so they translated it via google:

http://view.thespectrum.net/series/berserk-chapter-326.html

Ok chapter. So what do you think happened to GUtts?

[Aazholh]

Guts is probably trapped in the Seagod while in full berserk mode. It's messed up because the armor is probably fused to his skeleton. If he is in berserk mode, then his body is still being damaged. This is as close as Guts ever been to being eaten alive by the armor.

Maybe he will cut his way out of the Seagod and the moonlight boy will have to do his thing again.

...or he fell into the water.

[THM Nindo]

Oh, man!
This chapter is so good!

I can only hope that it means that we are going to at least finish the Sea God arc before the next hiatus.

[Damura]

No, it's ok.

Do they? I thought it was illegal to distribute the raw anyway.

Chapter is out on Mangareader : http://www.mangareader.net/berserk/326

The real good news is that we are getting another chapter next week!!
I hope we'll go until the end of the Sea God arc and further...

It would be great if they could arrive to the Elf Island before the next hiatus!! :p

The only thing I'm sad about is that Isma will most likely stay behind with her mother...
I liked her, she was so funny! And I liked the idea of a love interest for Ishidoro...

It's very unlikely that she would leave her mother to go with the rest of the crew... :(

Isidro's love interest is Shrieke, at least that's the direction it should be heading. We may get another time skip eventually so we see them as young adults and guts will have some more gray hair.

[THM Nindo]

True.

I kinda forgot about it because we haven't seen anything between them at all, (with the exception of Ishidoro groping her breast the first time they met! :tem).

But you're right...
After a timeskip, we might see something between them.

I think they might stay and rest for a while once they finally get to the elf island.
Guts will definitely needs some vacation after this fight. :tem

[102jayday]

A timeskip...There journey has been taking a long time, Man a timeskip would be so cool but I kinda wanna see some Little Guts and Caska's running around before Guts being old. Then again Guts is only 23 years old with Caska being 20 or 21. So with the kids being around 13 if they had a 5 year timeskip they would be young adults and Guts and Caska wouldn't look old. But it makes you think what could of happen to the world in those 5 years.

A lot honestly. Guts need a lot of time for his body to heal now, assuming its even possible. I assume we will find out next chapter. I can see them getting to Elf Island and the need to stay a while being apparent. Whether it be to heal Caska or to heal Guts.

[102jayday]

Yeah he is going to need to rest but the beast of darkness is always struggling to break free so while at elfheim they need to have it be put under control.
Yeah I think Guts will one day be a cripple just like that dream Griffith had but it will be Guts and the kid will be called Griffith lol.

[Sea Hunter]

Elfhell should be a place where dark creatures can't reach, with their king being an all powerful elf mage. I think it's safe for Gutz to stay out of his armor and rest/heal while there.

[102jayday]

^
Same as to where Sheike lived and the ore mine. Yet Griffith goes after those places and destroys them. I wonder where he would like to go now?

[Aazholh]

I wonder how close Elfhelm is in relation to where they are. Guts will probably be on the verge of death, so maybe the merrows will help them get there faster.

[102jayday]

^ Thats a really good idea, they could like make the waves push the ship closer to the island or something. I like it!
Any news on spoilers for Berserk? I wanna know what is happening to Guts. Guts is awesome.

[FetherMan]

great chapter and well worth the wait.

with the Sea God dying, I wonder if this will effect the surrounding area or world for that matter. and Guts has officially been changed forever by the armor. I expect to see more signs of this in later chapters.

The Merrows singing was a cool idea. much praises to Miura.

[Airget]

I imagine the Merrow will act as guards for the ship since the change to the world has been made they have to be more cautious during their travels. Since the sea is even more dangerous then before it would make sense if they were to act as the eyes for the sea but at the same time I feel like the Merrows may also want to make their way to Elfhelm since I doubt the sea in that area is safe to them. It would make more sense to journey to an area of sea that may be safer for them and the most logical area is most likely Elfhelm. So I seriously doubt that he'll write off the merrow once this scene is done. If anything it may be the merrow strength that pulls Guts out of the water, or sadly it could even turn into Guts seeing them as enemies and slaughtering them before he regains his senses.

I also do feel like this next chapter will depict the same kind of trauma the skullknight went through before he became what he is now. Since the old witch lady and him have the same kind of history as Guts and Schierke are having now, I imagine Schierke is going to act swiftly or heck maybe it'll be Farnese who ends up saving Guts, perhaps the whole reason Miura had set up all the training that she's gone through on the ship was so that she could save him at this very moment.

[Aazholh]

I've been thinking, what exactly was the purpose for having Guts fight this thing anyways? I always assumed that the Seagod was more sinister than what it turned out to be. But in the end, it was just a big monster. Was there anything to be gained from defeating this thing other than to remove one menace from the sea? Or was is just a plot device to bring Guts over the edge in the armor? I guess the next episode will shed some light.

[Forever Rain]

I don't think we need a timeskip just to show off all these kids Gatts is collecting for some reason. My main reason behind this is that Gatts is the main character! Skipping more years for him would be kinda bad in my opinion. I don't want to see him older and older. He'll be out of his prime and after all these huge ass near death experiences and body being crippled and recrippled, his body would be frail as hell. Besides I don't think it would work unless we went through and arc where Gatts ditches the Berserk armor first. Remember the big tension right now is suppose to be on Gatts relationship with the armor and if he becomes too dependent on it or not. Will he end up like the Skull night? Will the armor become a part of him or not? We can't just skip because we have to see how things like that develop first hand.

[Chaki]

Reminds me of good old dark chapters.
