No happy ending allowed for Guts, karma for all the murdered children's blood on his hands etc. But maybe Casca and his friends can move on and have their happy ending at least.

You lost all the sense of mistery and trying to understand the world where you are putted in if you start from the golden age, I think anyone should start by the black swordsman arc and after the golden age re read it a bit, I think this is the best way, in the black swordsman there are many more scenes where you can see Guts humanity, you can already say that he's not a generic character in chapter 2, when I first read berserk I remember seeing the scene where guts looks at his cutted arm with a empty and sad look on his eyes, when I first read that scene I thought that he for sure lost his arm in an emotional way and it wasn't just because he lost it in for example a battle, same thing for the eye.

I think that is a retconning. It is unlikely Mirua has plan so far ahead to envision Casca giving that look in a panel. Miura likely drew that sad face to increase the depth of the character and prompt the reader's curiosity initially. Then when drawing Casca he cleverly write the arc of the first fight with Zodd as a callback.

The second half of the Black Swordsman arc is where Berserk officially won me over. Not only did I get the over the top action that partly makes it fun to read, it does subversion right with regards to character development. Guts is Spawn with a greatsword, he’s a violent, monstrous douchebag on the outside but you see that there’s clearly layers to him making him a tragic character that has heroic qualities but has been burned too many times. And it’s not told and overexplained to you either in a way that rams it down your throat like how too many lesser anime and manga do it. It’s shown and hinted at more measuredly and naturally. Then there’s the Count who is this big bad villain who kills and eats people because his wife betrayed him, yet despite having the opportunity to sacrifice his daughter to the Devil (5 of them) he refuses to throw away that last piece of humanity he had left and go through with it. And yeah, it works because it’s balanced well between the tragic villain and the stereotypical “pure evil just because” villains. Whereas Demon Slayer completely abused the tragic monster archetype to the point it became a stereotype in and of itself.

Not sure if anyone else has thought of it but there’s another interpretation regarding Guts crying after Theresia vowed to kill him that came to my mind that I think also makes that scene as powerful as it is. Guts may have realized he just helped create another version of himself. Theresia may not be cursed like he is, but she will live with what happened with her father burned into her mind for all time and blames Guts for it, not too dissimilarly to how he rightfully blames Griffith for his predicament (granted Theresia’s mom is who’s really responsible but you know what I mean). I’m honestly sad we’ll likely never see Theresia again (assuming if Berserk ever gets finished). Because I honestly would love to see a follow up encounter of Theresia finding Guts and his party before the end and challenging him. Does she go through with it? Does she abandon her lust for vengeance? Does she join Guts? Does she go too far gone to the point Guts is forced to kill her? It’s an unfinished arc and consequence of Guts’s actions that I so badly want to see happen, which sadly Miura never did. Whether or not he may have planned it, I cannot say.

@@ShinigamiInuyasha777 I cannot specify when or where it would happen, but how I would do it is take a page from Vinland Saga and One Punch Man where Theresia tracks down Guts and his party, challenges him, but cannot beat him since he’s out of her league, but keeps trying. Then have them end up in a situation where Guts takes a hit meant for Theresia, she tries to kill him again (maybe have Guts dare her to do it) but in the end she can’t do it. Then Guts, now wiser since that time, comes down and gives her a hug or something since she’s basically become like him. Least that’s my personal rough draft of how I would do it, in which Guts’s consequences come back to haunt him and he has to deal with it. Maybe have her join the party too since their goals align similarly (the God Hand screwed both of them over).

I think what also got to Guts was that’s he witnessed someone actually turn down the godhand. Think back to the eclipse, where they’re giving these speeches about how all of this was preordained, or even the fight with Zod where Zod is like “dude he’s gonna betray you.” I wonder if Guts had started to believe that it was inevitable. That there was no preventing what happened to him. But then this count, who despite everything, despite being on deaths door even more so than Griffith, cuz theoretically Griffith could’ve said no and just gone back to earth, this count guy was going to die and get dragged to hell, even then, he still said no to murdering his daughter. The fact that Guts saw it really was a choice for Griffith, I think deeply hurt Guts on top of everything else.

1:10:20 Never had the chance to point it out, but the style in which Guts's face is drawn is the young one from Golden Age. Whenever he is shaken to the core away from the Black Swordsman and everything else you can see the young Guts as the art reverts back to him, or rather back to the true Guts that is hidden. This is what separates Guts from your run of the mill edgy protagonists. What I mean is that the edgy protagonist outward appearance is what you might call a coping mechanism to the person who's suffered too much from the world after seeing the hope it can give to others and even himself. It's not just 3 dimensional character building, it's 4 dimensional(?) since it explores time as well.

You keep going on about Guts' edgy speech to Puck, but you're selling it short, almost like you're embarrassed of that moment or something. It was immediately offset and given weight beyond its edgyness by Puck intuiting via his uber-empathy meter that it's a smokescreen for deeper trauma and a great mix of "rage, sadness, and fear". You even show the panel where Puck feels these emotions, but gloss over it entirely. I don't really think you need to apologize for Berserk's edgyness so much. Miura's a good writer, it works itself out. Aw shit dude you do it again at 43:00. That's not a bad guy speech, that's a fuck you speech.

He shames the people who see him as the bad guy when no one even tried to save that kid in Lost Children much like how he taunted the Snake man for doing the exact thing he despised humans for.

Wow. This is actually my first thing on berserk I've watched and I haven't read the books but the one eye stands out alot to me. In irish mythology their greatest hero is Chulainn and he's not a great guy either and when he really wigs out he does something called a "warp spasm" where his upper body gets bigger and he gets much darker and he closes one eye and the other bulges out and can't shut and it burns bright red. In this state, he kills everyone and anyone. Friend or foe, he doesn't cares. He gnashes his teeth and spits and drools and is nothing but twisted anger. I wonder if one eyed anger is a trope.

Well, I finally had the time to watch this, Berserk is very dear to me, I re-read it 5 times in it's completion, the first time i read it through in 2 days with almost no pauses so this was both nostalgic and bittersweet, but I'm glad that we got where we are with this manga. I do hope the assistants decide to continue if that was Miura's wish, after all I think you and the people who love this manga understand its core message, that no matter how fucked or damaged things get, there's always hope and a reason to keep moving foward.
@rockerrocket75593 жыл бұрын
Congrats on the 1st Part! On a personal note, I'm fine with either Berserk being continued by Studio Gaga or being left unfinished as Miura's life was well spent on making this story one of the best ever made.

Also I agree about Adi Shankar, despite the fact he also produced The Grey which is one of my all-time favorite films. Sure he could get away with changing the story for a video game adaptation since there wasn't much story to begin with, but Seasons 3 and 4 started to derail what made the series appealing to start with and I'm not gonna have any of that shit for a Berserk adaptation.

Great longform work and study! It's great how in the Black Swordsman arc, despite Miura stating he had no idea of the story at large, you can still reasonably speculate what parts had come together at certain parts. It's very quick, but you see Guts have a PTSD vomit episode after slaying the possessed priest's daughter. A reaction tied to his trauma with slaying Adonis.

Devilman is only nihilistic if you read it as a series and not as a part of a larger mythos that it is. It's like reading only the Black Swordsman arc and dropping Berserk. And I'd disagree a bit on the first reads things on Guts as we clearly see him shaken after he's killed the succubus so even someone starting the manga from way back when, you can see that it has a psychological effect on him early on, he just powers through it. Fun Fact : The reason Snake Man even exists in the Megaman series is because the people at Capcom loved Berserk when it came out in 1989-1990. So much that upon seeing Guts demolish the snake with his arm cannon, they thought that it would be cool for little Rock to do the same to one of Willy's robots. And the reason Snake Man gives you the "Needle Shot / Needle Cannon" that is multiple bolts coming out of Megaman's arm? Guess what Guts used to kill the snake. Capcom didn't fuk around in the 90s. Heck, Snake Man is almost plagiarising Snake Lord.

42:27: I’d like to think that the little blood splatter we see is a symbolic representation of Guts crying because he killed an innocent child; she and her father had shown him kindness after god knows how long he’s been traveling and now, after killing her and witnessing her dad die, it can be seen that Guts really does feel bad about what he does and how Miura breaks the trope of “Edgy Badass Sword Guy” with “Sad Badass Big-Sword Guy”. Also, we can see his reaction afterwards where he vomits, referencing when Guts murdered that child in the Golden age and thought that he wasn’t any better than the men he murders, in fact he thought he may be worse. Just my two cents to give, really loved this video Almighty and I can’t wait for part 2!

i find it extremely funny how when i was first introduced to berserk as a teen, i watched the 2016 anime and i kinda liked it since, i also liked SAO so my taste speaks for itself, but when i entered my 20s i started thinking "wow people really say the manga is better i might aswell check it out" and oh dear god how wrong i was about guts, the story hit me in the face then made love to me, the theme of the struggle pairs well with my life too so whenever i go through pain i think of guts and how he just kept going , he complained sometimes sure but at the end he moved on and boy oh boy i loved it and how much it inspired me to keep going and never give up

By reading The Black Swordsman before Golden Age you actually start off disliking Guts, then slowly begin to sympathize with him as you discover the true depth of his character one layer at a time. Reading them in reverse order would ruin that experience.

This is to say nothing of the fact that that Castlevania Boi would probably make half of the cast gay or black or both, “improve” Farnese’s character by making her as big of a badass as Guts (if not more so), and probably throw out a lot more verbal vulgarity. And I say this as someone who _does_ like Netflixvania. But I also know they intentionally screwed with the source material- it doesn’t matter if it’s “just some old games.” If anything that’s even more damning. I do not want these guys anywhere near Berserk.
