Berserk Chapter 388: Silat Vs. Rakshas

As a seasoned gamer and Berserk fanatic with over a decade of immersion in this dark fantasy world, I can confidently say that Chapter 388 has left me both awestruck and anxious for more. The clash between Rakshas and Silat is shaping up to be an epic showdown, with the former’s power to open astral gates tipping the scales in his favor.

This post contains spoilers for Berserk.

Key Takeaways

The Kushan Empire will try to take down Griffith’s Falconia.
Rakshas opens astral gates, causing destruction.
Rakshas is powerful, putting him ahead in a potential fight against Silat.

In the heat of Chapter 388, I found myself right where we left off last time. The chief of the Northern clan lay there in agony, his life snuffed out by none other than Rakshas. It was clear that something was amiss, and Daiba’s warning for us to retreat spoke volumes. In a flash, Rakshas stepped into view, and Silat’s sharp eyes instantly identified him.

At the Kurultai gathering, it was common knowledge that Rakshas was present. Everyone there knew that he was the initial Bakiraka to be banished. Instead of launching an assault on the Kushans, Rakshas appeared to be deep in thought. However, this contemplation was abruptly halted by the shrieks of the Kushans. This disturbance seemed to enrage Rakshas, causing him to make a decisive move against them.

Rakshas Uses His Power To Open The Astral Gates

Luckily, Silat had thought ahead and arranged precautions for any potential chaos. He’d instructed his troops to don waiter uniforms, acting as guards to shield our surroundings. Daiba even cautioned them against letting their numbers cloud their judgment, just like Rakshas. With no other recourse, the apostle channeled his power to unseal the Astral Gates, causing a colossal twister to erupt above us. As a gamer, I could only brace myself for the ensuing battle!

Soon after, trolls emerged from the Qliphoth domain without delay. These trolls aggressively targeted the Kushans, and it soon became apparent that their city was on the brink of destruction. Farnese narrowly escaped being captured by one of these trolls, but thanks to Serpico’s swift intervention, she was saved. Daiba was taken aback by Rakshas’ might, recognizing that he had surpassed his status as a typical apostle. As the chapter neared its close, Rakshas and Silat could be seen rushing towards each other.

Rkashas Vs. Silat Could Be Very One-Sided

The chapter concluded prematurely, denying them an actual battle. With his spectacular display of might, Rakshas appears to hold the upper hand, making it likely that the apostle will emerge victorious from this fight. Not only is he proficient as an assassin, but it seems he now possesses the ability to open cosmic doorways and manipulate demonic creatures. Moreover, even Daiba, Farnese, and those nearby have observed Rakshas’ Od growing increasingly potent.

The young master…I remember. –Rakshas

Despite Silat being quite formidable, it’s highly unlikely he could hold his own against someone as powerful as Rakshas. The Bakiraka’s leader would be wise to merely endure and survive this encounter. Silat will require assistance from his companions to bring down Rakshas. If not, Rakshas may injure Silat and continue his destructive path through the Kushan empire. There’s a slim possibility that Rakshas might spare Silat because he appears to hold him in some regard, even addressing him as “the young master” in this particular chapter.

Who Else Will Join The Battle Against Rakshas?

In the closing pages of Chapter 388, viewers noticed Guts dripping with sweat heavily. Though there was hope that Guts could be liberated soon, it appears the Kushans intend to manage the predicament independently. Proud as they are, their arrogance might prove costly. Already in the know, Serpico and Farnese are making their way towards where the Od’s power is most potent.

Farnese has honed her magic skills significantly, making her our most reliable option as Schierke remains unconscious. Accompanying her on this journey is her half-brother, Serpico, who has demonstrated his ability to navigate various perils. His role will be to ensure Farnese’s safety while she confronts the source of the Od. There’s a possibility that halting the Od’s flow could weaken Raksahas and assist SIlat in managing the outcast.

Will Guts Be Liberated In The Next Chapter?

Guts Needs To Join The Battle Soon

For several chapters now, Guts has been held captive and consequently hasn’t engaged in any battles recently. Fans of Berserk are eagerly awaiting his return to action so he can battle against the Rakshas and trolls. Yet, there’s no sign that Silat or anyone else is considering rescuing Guts. The only one who appears to have some free time is Rickert, and he recognizes that Guts is an adept warrior capable of defeating various demonic creatures.

Should Guts manages to break free, he’ll swiftly make his way towards where Rakshas is, prepared for a battle against the apostle. With his extensive combat experience, especially against apostles like Grunbeld – who boasts an impressive physical strength among Griffith’s lieutenants – Guts stands ready. However, Rakshas presents a challenging adversary due to his agility that allows him to evade attacks from the Dragon Slayer with ease. Moreover, it seems Rakshas possesses the ability to open Astral Gates. In such a situation, Schierke would prove an invaluable ally for Guts, being knowledgeable in magic and Od. With her assistance, Guts stands a better chance against Rakshas. As fans eagerly await the next chapter’s release, they can only hope it comes out swiftly.
