Can The Kushans Take Down Griffith And Falconia?

This post contains spoilers for Berserk Chapter 377.

Key Takeaways

• Silat disrupts the Kurultai by wanting to lead the Kushan army, sparking outrage.
• Rakshas’ unexpected arrival unveils a potentially game-changing situation for the Kushans.
• Guts, experienced at killing apostles, could play a crucial role in the upcoming conflict against the reborn Band of Hawk.

In Berserk Chapter 377, fans learned about the current state of the Kushan Empire. The place thrived despite what Griffith did to Ganishka and his people. This showed the resolute nature of the Kushans. As the chapter continued, fans saw the other noteworthy members of the Kushan Empire.

Berserk Chapter 377 was dominated by Silat, the leader of the Bakiraka. He had seen the power of Griffith and his apostles firsthand, so he knew how to counter them. Silat was waiting for the Kurultai, the most prestigious event for the Kushans. He believed that it was the perfect time to talk to the current leader of the Empire and reveal his plan.

The Leaders Take Stage For The Kurultai

Before the Kurultai began, Daiba stated that he had a bad feeling about the event, but nobody paid heed to him. A man of Daiba’s experience should have been taken more seriously. As the event began, different clan leaders started speaking. Silat was already impatient and did not want to wait any longer, so he decided to step forward and speak.

I have a bad feeling about this Kurultai. It will not end amicably. –Daiba

One of the clan leaders tried to stop Silat from talking about his request, but others wanted to give him a chance. Upon resuming, Silat stated that the Bakiraka had the most experience when it came to fighting Griffith and the Reborn Band of Hawk. He knew that most of the Kushan army didn’t stand a chance against Griffith’s army of apostles. So, Silat asked the leader to be made the general of the Kushan army. He wanted the position because of his own experience with apostles.

Rakshas’ Arrival Changes Everything

Most of the clan leaders thought it was outrageous that the leader of Bakiraka wanted to control the entire Kushan army. The head of the North clan was quick to remind everyone that Silat’s request was ludicrous. While he was still speaking, the people around him noticed some kind of outgrowth emerging from his back. In next to no time, a shadowy figure emerged from his body. This development shocked everyone in the vicinity.

It was revealed that this individual was none other than Rakshas, a Kushan who had been exiled due to his nefarious behavior. The arrival of Rakshas changes the situation drastically, and it will force the Kushans to alter their strategy.

What Is Silat’s Plan For Falconia?

Silat did not disclose his plan for Falconia’s defeat, but it is safe to assume that he has found a weakness that the Kushans could exploit. The Kushans would be obliterated by the reborn Band of Hawk in a head-to-head battle. So, it makes more sense to target the generals while they are separated from the rest of the group. Even though every single member of Griffith’s army is strong, they are not invincible.

Guts has proven that apostles can be killed with the right weapons. If the Kushans had agreed to Silat’s terms, the next course of action would have been to formulate a solid plan before engaging the reborn Band of Hawk. However, they have a great opportunity to land a decisive blow on Griffith’s army. Silat previously fought Rakshas but failed to kill him, but fate has given the Baraka leader to wrong his right. However, Silat is aware of Rakshas’ power, so he won’t jump in without thinking about it.

Can Silat Beat Rakshas In A Fight?

The Two Will Have Their Rematch In Chapter 378

Only Rakshas was seen in Chapter 377, but there is a good chance that the other apostle generals might be stationed nearby. Facing Rakshas is a gigantic task, and things would become a lot worse if another apostle turned up. If they cannot take down Rakshas, they stand no chance of fighting the army of Falconia.

In case Silat is unable to hold his own against Rakshas, Guts is the only person that he can rely on. Fans already know that Guts is in captivity. Normally, Guts would have fought back, but he was encumbered by his mental state. The Kushans took advantage of the situation and captured him easily.

In Berserk Chapter 377, when Rakshas emerged from the body, Guts’ brand was bleeding. So he knew that an apostle was near. If Silat releases Guts, then Rakshas could be in big trouble. When it comes to killing apostles, Guts is the most experienced person in Berserk.

Following the Eclipse, Guts declared war against the apostles and began killing them one by one. Over time, he has demolished multiple apostles and saved countless lives. Furthermore, it is important to remember that Serpico and Farnese are also in the area. The two of them have proven capable of holding their own in the face of danger. While Rakshas has incredible strength, he cannot fight so many powerful individuals at the same time.
