Alright,
I wasn't sure where to post this considering it's not speculation but just a question to the more well informed on the forum about the way the Astral Merge affected the God Hand, if at all.
I've come across the Berserk Mythbusters podcast episode and some other interesting old threads recently and I have a pretty good idea about how the Astral Merge works. In additon people are usually saying that the God Hand have no way to leave the Astral world, but I'm not sure if they refer to them pre- or post-Merge (if there even is a difference), because it's usually brought up when people talk about the incarnation of Griffith.
However, I feel like there must have been some kind of effect on the God Hand during the Merge that brought them closer to the physical world. Why else would we have gotten those four amazing panels of them during the Merge alongside the ones of fantasy creatures appearing all over the physical world. This confuses me, because I see people say that they are only able to fully manifest in the Astral world. What did the Astral Merge change about that? Are they just chilling somewhere in the physical world and we haven't seen them yet? Does it take more time for them to arrive? (Slan's panel kinda reminds me of a tunnel and Conrad is creating a somewhat temporary form like Intestine-Slan) Or are they still unable to fully enter the physical world?
I'm sorry, if this has been discussed before or if I got something essential wrong, but it's a bit hard to find something substantial with how much the God Hand is talked about on the forum.
