This is easily my second favorite arc in the entire series. Almost caught up to where I stopped reading YEARS ago. But the return of Griffith is SO good. The little showdown with Guts, his takeover and new army, his new "band" of hawks is all SO fucking good. On the flipside we get into a more fantasy setting for Guts as he also has his own band of people now, and even a little magical girl. All of it works really well, on top of him processing his extreme PDST with Casca, and his demon within.

This is Berserk at its finest.
