Griffith's rescue leaves the Hawks facing a damaged leader and threatened breakup in Berserk Volume 12. The publisher places the company's threatened breakup beside the persistence of Griffith's ambitions. This is a continuation of the consequences of captivity, with no promise of a return to the old campaigns. It completes the standard volumes collected in Deluxe 4; the following paperback begins the material in Deluxe 5.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Freedom does not repair what imprisonment destroyed. PRH's description makes Griffith's physical condition and the Hawks' threatened fragmentation the starting facts, then places his ambitions within reach of supernatural attention. That creates a dangerous mismatch between what a person still wants and what ordinary action can deliver. The book's importance is in that mismatch, rather than a simple increase in magical power. Desperation does not itself decide which bargain a character will make, but it changes the terms on which an offer can appear attractive. The company remains exposed to its leader's desires.
