Spirit Road 1 & 2, Pillar of Flame, The Black Swordsman on Holy Ground

Farnesse…makes a mess. And we get some flashback segments that explain why. Isidro begins to share the spotlight as he tags along with Guts, and we get a major exposition/lore drop from Skull Knight about the nature of the upcoming “Festival” that just might be mimicking The Eclipse so that a certain Hawk-like figure can incarnate in flesh where there was once only incorporeal consciousness giving him form in the astral realm. Plus, Nina still sucks. Hard.
