Berserk After Kentaro Miura's death, many people believed the manga would never reach a conclusion, but thankfully Kouji Mori and the folks at Studio Gaga decided to carry the mantle.

Berserk Chapter 377 focuses on the lands of the Kushans. Their naval ships managed to subdue the ship carrying Guts and other members of the Black Swordsman party. Because of Himmat's mental state, the Black Swordsman party did not pray against the Kushans. They could have been killed, but, fortunately, Rickert was with the Kushans, and he helped them.

Silat reveals his plans for the Kushan army

Silat Berserk was discussed in Chapter 377. The leader of Bakiraka eagerly awaited the new Kurultai. Kurultai is a special program for the Kushans, held to discuss important issues related to the empire. Heads of various clans attend the Kurultai, making it a prestigious affair. In the chapter, it is revealed that many leaders of the Kushan dynasty believed that Ganishka's failure was due to his neglect of Kurulatai.

Silat thought he would get a chance to talk to the current Kushan leader at Kurultai and present his ideas. Before Silat has a chance, Daiba is asked to come forward and reveal what he knows about Falconia and its army. The audience was shocked to learn about Griffith's powers, and they realized they were powerless in front of White Hawk.

Silat was getting impatient by the minute, so he decided to interrupt Daiba. He went before the current Kushan leader and requested to be made the commander of the Kushan army. This demand surprised everyone gathered for Kurultai, as Bakiraka did not have a good reputation. Most of the people were distrustful of Bakiraka, so they did not want anyone from the group to lead the entire Kushan army. Silat argued that Bakiraka had seen Griffith's power firsthand, so they knew what to expect from the fight. In addition, the Bakiraka had more proficiency than other battalions within the Kushan Empire. Silat reiterated that Griffith had to die for the continuation of peace in the Kushan territories.

The invasion of the Kushan Empire begins

After Silat offered his opinion, the leader of the northern clan expressed his disappointment. The people around him pointed out the strange outgrowth coming out of his back. Finally, it was revealed that the monster was behind the incident. After fully exiting the body, he sent spikes at everyone else around him.

The rise of the monster caused a great deal of disturbance around the place, and this was felt by Furness, who immediately realized what he had to do. With the arrival of the demon, a scar also appeared on the neck of the intestine and blood began to flow. On the next page, Guts was shown fully awake, so he knew someone had arrived strong.

The battle will begin in chapter 378

The Kushans must defeat Raksha at all costs

Rakshasa was a member of Barikak, but due to his mistakes he was kicked out. He is a pervert who takes great pleasure in tormenting his victims, making him the worst of Griffith's soldiers. The monster is well versed in stealth, so he was given leadership of the assassination squad within Hawk's new band. In its inspired form, the monster becomes more dangerous. He gains the ability to fly, allowing him to pursue targets with ease. A monster's tentacles are also very powerful and capable of lifting heavy objects.

In the past, Silat managed to stand up to the demon but was unable to finish him off. However, things have changed significantly, and defenses are now stronger. So, Silat will not be able to finish him alone. He needs the help of his allies to take down the apostle.

Will the guts be freed in the next chapter?

Berserk chapter 377 confirmed that Guts is still locked up, so he won't be joining the battle anytime soon. But there's no denying that Guts is the most experienced fighter in the series when it comes to fighting the apostles. He has spent a lot of time dealing with demons and aims to destroy each one of them.

Guts has superhuman strength that allows him to wield the Dragon Slayer with little or no trouble. The sword dazzles most people, but Guts has mastered its use. Normal sized swords can't pierce the thick skin of most apostles, but the Dragonslayer clears them. It has survived battles against Zodd, Grunbeld, the Count, and many other apostles.

However, Guts' greatest weapon is the Berserker Armor. It significantly increases Guts' physical abilities, but overuse has serious complications. The Berserker Armor can take over Guts' body and turn him into a wild beast deadset on destroying everything in its path. Courage was often rescued by Schierke in such situations, but she still did not wake up from her slumber. If the guts are freed, the demon will be in a world of pain. There is a strong possibility that he will die at his hands.
