The destruction of the Hawks leaves Guts and Casca with lasting injuries in Berserk Volume 14. The publisher frames Guts's revenge through that aftermath rather than another assignment for the company. It also includes Berserk Prototype, an earlier version of the work, giving this paperback an additional function beyond continuing the story. Standard Volumes 13 through 15 are collected in Deluxe 5, which is the relevant larger volume for this material.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The aftermath makes the opening Black Swordsman premise legible in a different way. PRH describes the damage to Guts's hand and Casca's mind alongside his continuing desire for revenge. Survival has left responsibilities and injuries, not an intact person waiting for a new enemy. The included Berserk Prototype is a separate reason to inspect the contents rather than assuming every page extends the main narrative. An earlier version can illuminate what the published premise became, but its inclusion does not make its events additional history for the ongoing story.
