'Berserk (2016)' Season 2 Episode 7: Guts and Crew to Face Punishment as an Old Acquaintance Returns?
The young witch Schierke may have successfully cast a protection spell against the trolls, but it seems that Guts' traveling troupe will be faced with even more challenging adversaries in the next episode of the dark fantasy anime series "Berserk (2016)."
Guts and his crew are currently taking lodging in Enoch Village to aid the young witch Schierke in her mission to protect the villagers against a horde of trolls that has been spreading fear and blood all over town. And despite the villagers' reluctance to trust their lives to such an odd-looking group of strangers, the crews' display of elemental magic, brute strength, and selfless will to defend them moved the people to join the fight in the end.
And now that Schierke's protection spell has surrounded the church and the trolls have disintegrated in light of it, will the villagers look upon Guts and his crew in a more favorable and respectful way? The preview for the next episode hints that they may not have much of a chance to do so since it looks like an even bigger threat is about to descend on the village.
