It's because miura felt it was no longer needed for the narrative.
I do believe some of the backlash he received could have forced him to tone down but who knows
I believe so,
Especially the Early parts where Lost Children Arc
its quite sad and depressing to knew the fact that Apostles are former human who mostly got sad story and just wanted to be "free"
I was shocked and feel empathy to Rosine after rereading ngl.
but the disturbing and brutal part are the kidnapped children who turned into elves insect, become maniac and bloodthirsty monster that killed each other.
Cuz even Seinen usually didn't had children die.
And don't get me started how i despise this dude again after rereading berserk again
I'm glad Zodd kill this bum
