My criticism of Casca's sexual assault is it was still very male gaze-y. I love Berserk and it has amazing artwork, but I didn't like how stylized the sexual violence towards Casca was.

I do think Miura had long-term plans for her character, though. The brain wipe was only going to be a small portion of the story, but he died prematurely just as Casca got her mind back. Right before he died, Miura said the series would end around volume 100. Volume 42 was released posthumously. Casca lost her mind in Volume 14, so it would have been less than 28 volumes where she was mentally incapacitated out of 100.

We'll never get to see the story of Guts and Casca deciding how they want to deal with Griffith or if Griffith will go after them.

Oh I agree 100%. There was always something that felt off on how it was done, but I could never figure out what it was, I think you're spot on. I can't say if that was Miura's intention, but given how he treats the whole thing later in the story, I can give him the benefit of the doubt.

I haven't read the most recent chapter or chapters, but from my understanding, even if the story is now being done by someone else, at least it is Miura's best friend, the only person he confided the story to. If you haven't yet, I recommend to read the short oneshot Kentaro Miura Memorial Manga, where Kouji Mori talks about his life and friendship with Miura, it's absolutely beautiful and gave me confidence he will do his best to honor his wishes and story.
