Berserk Volume 21 continues the Tower of Conviction crisis, with Casca threatened by execution and Guts confronting Mozgus. The publisher places the immediate rescue amid the tower's wider supernatural danger. This belongs after the preceding stages of the confrontation, not at the beginning of a new mission. It is the last standard volume collected in Deluxe 7; the next paperback, Volume 22, begins the material in Deluxe 8.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Defeating the person ordering an execution is only part of saving its intended victim. PRH's description combines Guts's fight against Mozgus with the demonic forces gathering around Casca and the citadel's collapse. The obstacles are connected but not interchangeable: removing an inquisitor does not necessarily remove the danger surrounding the prisoner. That is a useful reason to read this as the continuation of a rescue rather than a contest for combat supremacy. The object remains a person's survival, which can demand more than winning the most visible fight.
