It's been awhile but Ben and Paul are back to talk about the newest volume, fully translated by fans.

The crew gets a visit from an old friend, causing trouble for Elf Island and delaying the big reunion between Casca and Guts...

Chapters discussed:

Matt gained popularity back in the early GamerGate days doing social commentary and critique videos. Six years ago, he made a couple mistakes that ended up essentially ruining all traction and goodwill he had but that doesn't mean he gave up. As of today, you can still find him multiple times a week doing Boulder Talk Radio on his channel and twitter page where he covers a variety of topics, with strong emphasis on politics.

Matt and I talk about the old internet days, a lot about GamerGate, catch up on how we know each other and a bit about a lot of different things like Ghostbusters, Melissa McCarthy and politics.

Dense one here. Politic talks begin to make Falconia sound like the place to be. On Elf Island, Casca is getting back into fighting form even though she still can't stand to be around Guts proper without PTSD triggers. Guts learns more about Skull Knight from his armor and an old "friend" pays the island a visit...

The bittersweet finale for Kentaro Miura. Rest in piece and thank you for what you've dreamed up.

The journey to collect the lost pieces of Casca's mind comes to a close and we say hello to a long lost old friend.
