Re:Chapter 227
It sounds like chapter 227 has left an open spot for some speculation, unlike 226. Is Miura taking a break after this one? Or is the size of volume 26 still growing? It's already 10 chapters long :)

The previous man who used Guts' armor died. We see his silhouette, and he wielded a sword strangely similar to the Skull Knight's...
If we were to presume that this man who "died" was Skull Knight, how would it be possible for Skully to still be around? I guess it all determines how you look at the word "died". Perhaps the man that
was Skull Knight died that day, in the sense his human form was vanquished and he was reborn as the spectre, Skull Knight? I'm just not sure
how he would have actually died.

However, Gatsu's body is over his limit....and few of his bones collapse (i've understood an arm bone and a foot bone)... But the armor don't let him run away from battle.... Prickles penetrates his body, reforming his bones, making the fight continue...
If that were the case, and his body can be repaired, perhaps that could keep him going on for hundreds, maybe thousands of years? This could be the reason why our very own Skull Knight is, seemingly, immortal. If his armour were to bear similar characteristics with the one Guts is wearing now, surely his body would never age, because the "Prickles" would be healing and repairing his body. Skull Knight certainly knows a trick or two about controlling Od and doing flashy things that mortals couldn't do. What's to say he hasn't mastered the benefits of the armour and his Od to keep his body alive for so many years? It seems to be that this is our best lead towards figuring out why Skull Knight is still alive.

Looking at the heroical style of fighting of Gatsu, Shierke blames herself for this....But Flora's voice penetrates his mind, saying: "If only you are capable to make him understand the right way for controlling the od".....
It seems Flora is, like Roshinu, still alive!!

Flora going to be the Obe-Wan Kenobi of Berserk from now on!
I can't see how Guts can control his Od when when The Berserk Armour is consistently raping his entire body and remaining completely in control. Maybe he needs to see an image of Caska or something in his head to awaken him, or make him snap out of it? Right now it seems to me that Guts couldn't do the things his body is doing now if he didn't have the Beast at his side. Its potency is a lot more unruly than anything we've seen from Guts, even in the Lost Children Arc. So maybe it's a good idea to keep him in this Berserk state until
GURUMBERUDO is destroyed.
