Line 30:
* Hey, she could be all Kushanese: a Kushanese-Midlandian (like a Japanese-American).
** Just compare her to Silat. As for Donovan, Pippin and most dark-skinned extras that aren't explicitly Kushans, they mostly are of clealy African descent or mixed race in the case of Pippin who was probably a mulatto.
*** Well, Miura has a knack at [[Cast of Snowflakes|not making everybody a paper-doll cut out of each other]], even if they're from the same ethnic group. Silat has [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20190710230215/https://www.mangakongotakusmash.com/read-manga/Berserk/037.047/169/ a lot of sharp features to his face], as well as a lot of the Bakiraka, which could reflect how [[Red Right Hand|they were perceived as not really good guys]] - and maybe even a bit stereotyped - while Casca's features are a lot more soft and "normal" which is probably how a lot more Kushan people look like, [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20190710230215/https://www.mangakongotakusmash.com/read-manga/Berserk/237.246/211/ judging from the way the children look]. Personally, I always thought that a half-Kushan person would look like [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20190710230216/https://www.mangakongotakusmash.com/read-manga/Berserk/317/10/ Guska], since he looks like both of his {{spoiler|supposed}} parents and thus has features of both [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20190710230216/https://www.mangakongotakusmash.com/read-manga/Berserk/237.246/49/ a Kushan and a Midlandian] (or is it "Midlander"?).
*** Also with the Casca's true ethnic origin thing, I always imagined that Casca's home village was comprised of Kushan refugees: it's in a place that's technically a safe haven, but it's close to their home turf. Plus, it's possible that Casca's family was given the crappy land by the Kingdom of Midland because the government wanted to "assimilate" the Kushan immigrants into their society (or they were just cautious of their allegiance) - but from a confined distance which was basically an ethnic ghetto.
 
Line 129:
 
== King Gaiseric. is a [[Red Herring]] ==
[https://web.archive.org/web/20190710230214/http://view.thespectrum.net/series/berserk-chapter-314.html?ch=Volume+13%2B13&page=4 Unless this is a mistranslation], The Skull Knight has been around for several thousands of years, while King Gaisaric rose to power approximately 1,000 years ago, meaning the two can't be one in the same. As such, The Skull Knight might have had a relationship with King Gaisaric similar to the one he has with Guts, or King Gaisaric went on to become Void.
* It ''is'' a mistranslation. Zodd really says that the Skull Knight has been "our foe for a millenium."
