Undefeated in 100 years, the fortress of Doldrey sits as the final boss for the Band of the Hawk. Let's see if Guts can take some time away from playing dice with the boys in order to take on the slimy Governor's army.

Casca and Guts have reached a new level of friendship after taking down Adon Coborlwitz's 100-man army. Plus, Judeau's stock starts to rise, thanks to his magic healing fairy dust that he's been holding on to for god knows how long.

This week Guts and Casca are forced to spend time together in a tree hole where we learn how she came to join Griffith's army. Sometimes it takes falling off a cliff together in order to really bond with a person.

A stray arrow? A poison-tipped stray arrow? You know, to maybe kill Griffith? This week we unpack the assassination attempt on our fearless leader, who, let's be honest — is quickly becoming an annoying thorn in everyone's side. But after the slowest fall into shallow water anyone has ever done, we'll talk about Batman Guts and his sneaky mission that goes terribly awry.

The "will they, won't they?" tension between Guts and Griffith continues to mount as the Band of the Hawk faces growing conflict within the kingdom. Griffith has been attracting the wrong kind of attention and evil plans are starting to crystalize. Stray poison arrows and all that.

This week it's all eyes on Griffith as our favorite silver-haired boy is getting promotions left and right. With an even larger target painted on his back, we're starting to understand the nefarious plans of some of the nobles, all while the interpersonal relationships among the members of the Band of the Hawk become increasingly complex.

Before embarking on Berserk, Jeff was told this anime was going to take him places that perhaps he did not want to go. But by his account, it's been pretty smooth sailing so far. This week, we'll unpack the blossoming character dynamics as Guts, Griffith, and Bakalar's favorite, Corkus, all start to make their opinions known, gay water fights and all.

The Berserk Gaiden begins! Welcome back to JeffJeff's Bizarre Adventure. The gang is diving right into the deep end by embarking on the 1997 anime. In this episode we're introduced to Guts and his big-ass sword. Why is he able to wield such a big sword? What's that about? And who's this Griffith guy? And why's his hair so nice? There's a lot to discuss this week, but we'll hold your hand every step of the way as we enter a brand new anime for the show.

The gang is very close to discovering the true identity of Kira, but not before we've had a visit from everyone's favorite renegade Polaroid, Yoshihiro.
