Description
Berserk Volume 7 marks the beginning of the fall. The once-victorious Band of the Hawk is now branded as traitors, and Griffith, imprisoned and tortured, fades into legend. Meanwhile, Guts, who had left to forge his own destiny, learns of his comrades’ suffering and prepares to return—setting in motion one of the most emotionally charged rescues in manga.
This volume shifts the tone of Berserk from glory to tragedy, showing the consequences of ambition, pride, and the loss of control.
The Band of the Hawk in Hiding
- The Band of the Hawk, once Midland’s finest military unit, has been branded outlaws following Griffith’s disgraceful arrest.
- Leaderless and hunted, the Hawks, under Casca’s command, have been reduced to a fraction of their former strength.
- Casca is doing her best to lead and keep them alive, but morale is crumbling.
This is a major turn: The once-unstoppable mercenary force is now living in the shadows, trying to survive constant pursuit.
Guts’ Solitary Journey
- After leaving the Band of the Hawk, Guts spends a year wandering and honing his skills in the wild.
- He meets Godo, an old blacksmith who becomes a brief mentor figure, helping Guts refine his swordsmanship.
- Guts trains relentlessly—not to win fame, but to become stronger for himself.
But when Guts learns that Griffith has been imprisoned and the Hawks are being hunted, he makes a crucial decision:
He will return to the Band of the Hawk.
This marks Guts’ first true act of loyalty on his own terms, not out of obedience, but out of friendship and responsibility.
