I nominate Ganishka's new form for 'Most Disturbing Scene'!

I have to say it really gave me chills to see it, the feeling of tallness and the impossibility to fight such an immense creature. It was really hard to belive Griffith wasn't screwed-up this time! At the same time, the tall creature feels abyssal, as if the sky and the deep were together in that moment. It's abyssal to me because, just like in an abyss, it seems as all of you will go into it and won't be enough to reach a footing.

Meanwhile, all those faces and eyes (octopus ones) together with tentacles is one of the most repulsive creations of Miura. I suppose that if he had given Ganishka a plastic looking pink skin it wouldn't be so bad, so we have to take into account the whole texture that went into it. Nobody wants to get close to it, regardless of 'will it overpower you' it's menacing because it's ugly! lol

I don't know if we have to focus on one particular page where all of this is shown, for nomination purposes, since a scene can start and end in different pages, but definitely if you've read that part you'll understand what am I going for. One doesn't have to see those eyes again to remember Ganishka is made of them, it's impactating enough to recall it, even after Miura's long breaks! xD

To me it really was the eclipse. Seeing Caska get raped with a whole bunch of disgusting monsters around really disturbed me, especially the effect that Griffith was the one behind it.

 

[mrsticky005]

pretty much any rape seen will do.

 

[Aazholh]

I think the eclipse is the single most disturbing scene in Berserk. It is the main driving force for Guts. When he reflects about why he is on a quest for revenge, the eclipse as automatically brought up; along with the betrayal and rape of Casca.

The Eclipse . So many people we got to like died on that day, RIP to Pippin, Judeau, Gatson, Caska sanity and the rest of the band of the hawk that got ripped to pieces in demon feeding orgy

 

[102jayday]

eclipse Hands down, that put me in shock. No one has said anything about when caska gave birth or Wylad having that girl naked and on a piece of wood.

 

[White Rabbit]

if we really consider the eclipse as just one big scene then i'll definately go with it too... in particular the part when the new born femto is raping caska while guts is cutting off his own arm.

 

[baboysai]

Agreed. Eclipse.

 

[Jack Van Burace]

Imho, the eclipse was revolting. It made me angry and disgusted, and although it's also unsettling, those feelings aren't as disturbing as Ganishka's form to me. Why?

Disturbing usually refers to something that shouldn't be there. The rape is a human thing, it felt common place knowing Griffith's feelings and Caska's feelings. Not that it wasn't very violent, it was! But it's something we can understand and reason with. It's part of our world, and Guts' suffering actually exists in a war-like scenario. Several people undergo that much anger and violence in the real world: it's bad but it's not Escher.

If I were to pick the disturbing parts of the Eclipse, those would be the demons eating the Hawks. The Count specially, since he did appear in there as well, and ate the Hawks as well. It was really unsettling to see creatures that came out of nowhere and that we couldn't make out were their mouths were. Fairies too, it makes no sense to see a fairy or a God-hand for that matter.

Ganishka was to me the very description of disturbing, since one doesn't understand where is his face and what are those things around him. Something quite that huge is trully disturbing to see, it's nightmarish and not of our world, and that would happen by its size alone. His "octopusses" are as 'weird' as many of the apostles seen on the Eclipse, and his whole body reminds us of that scenario. That's the reason I pick Ganishka's form over the Eclipse. Imho, Miura took a step further in disturbing on that part than he did on the Eclipse, as the latter was still very human (we would get that same feeling from being chased by beasts in a dark forest, or by bandits in an alley).

Although I quite understand your views, I just felt like I had to justify (and perhaps give an opportunity to change some of the votes) my choice. The Eclipse is indeed quite a candidate, but I spent over 10 minutes looking at the computer when I saw Ganishka's first full body drawn. That concept really blown me away, there was a long time since I saw something beyond my own imagination capability. And I considered that one of those moments.

The eclipse, when Casca was raped. It was really beyond disgusting for me.

 

[Gats]

Disturbingly awesome.

[GioGio]

The Eclipse, hands down. That's like, the disturbing scene which gives disturbing scenes nightmares.
