[@tailedgates9]

A lot of people say "Well he had to make that sacrifice because it would have made everyone else's death meaningless." But I don't think that was the kind of "Sacrifice" the Hawks had in mind, nor was it an ending they felt they deserved after serving that piece of shit for so long. Maybe you can say they put him on too high of a pedestal, completely destroying any chance of Griffith considering them people with their own dreams. But even excluding the choice he made, which fans can have varying opinions on, everyone at the very least should be on the same page about what he did to Casca....It was really fucked up....

[@c.galindo9639]

Feitan actually Guts was much more battle oriented than Griffith due to his experience and skill he gained with the Hawks and Griffith saw Guts had more than what appeared on the outside which made him want to take the first strike to try and throw Guts off guard and in their first fight Guts was more about the pure violence of battle and a erratic warrior when fighting during battle

The ironic thing is that if Guts hadn't heard Griffith's speech in episode 10 he would probably never had left the hawks.

Wrath Kim You got to know that griffith was destined to be the 5th demon or whatever its called. You can't escape fate

[@Shendue]

Actually, Griffith both needs him because of his strenght, and because he's the one person he feels he can rely on. He even likes him, like a brother and friend. Problem is, Griffith is obsessed with power and feels like it's normal to manipulate people for his means. Deep down, he actually feels friendship for Guts, but that's the only way he's able to express his feelings, possession. On the opposite side, Guts genuinely wants to be Griffith's friend, not is his subordinate or instrument. He wants to be his equal. And he understood he would never be able to do it unless he frees himself from his control, because Griffith himself literally said that he cannot consider a friend someone who isn't equal to him and follows his own path. Paradoxically, if he stays with him he won't feel like he deserves to be at his side. There's so much going on in this scene, it's really powerful. Pretty complex feelings. One of the best parts in the whole series.

something i never noticed in years of coming back to this: Judeau's eyes in the road. The whole series he has these moments where he guides the conversation or drops some hints. And the viewer can always tell he has some regret and levity about his own view of himself. Hes strongish, smartish, quickish, and charming. But he never seems really happy. In that moment of calling out to Guts to love casca, he is doing something almost no man ever does. He pushes her away. We learn later he always had a one sided love, Cynically maybe even an infatuation with Casca. But it was rooted in a deep care and respect. His eyes in that moment drop all pretense. No charm or wit or humor. It is a direct, maybe even fatherly challenge. Are you good enough to make her happy? And seeing him waver, he defers. Maybe some human relief for his ego and far flung hope, but then the charm returns and he reminds Guts that he does wish he were the one to be the one for someone he loves. One of the many so very human elements of this story I absolutely respect. And so so odd that a comic from the 90's about dark fantasy does such elements so much better than billion dollar studios.

[@sav4094]

[@BranBal]

[@edwardgaines6561]

Judeau always strikes me as a go-along-to-get-along type person. That's why he almost always has a small smile on his face. But when he directly asks Guts why he won't consider Casca, it's really himself he's asking that question to. That's why he looks so serious. It's one thing if Judeau can't have Casca, but a hesitant Guts *can* have her...which probably irks Judeau a little inside.

KKHHFFAANN, I disagree. Griffith isn't anyone's friend. He's a narcissist who gets off on his ability to draw people in and manipulate them. Note how he knows that Casca is in love with him, but abuses her by having her do things like sleep with Guts to keep him warm. He only cares about her when he sees that she's in love with Guts, because then he lost of source of narcissist feel goods. Guts is special to Griffith because he was practically an animal, incapable of human relationship. So to draw someone like that in and gain their unwavering loyalty? You can see what that would be a crowning narcissist achievement beyond even gaining his goal of having his own kingdom. I mean, not even a king would be able to get the loyalty of a man like Guts. And so in that light you can see how seeing Guts mature to the point of not needing Griffith anymore would be the most unbearable thing in the world for him.

Yup. Both are some perfect example of well written characters. I really hate Griffith so much but i have to admit that his character was amazing.

[@yamatotsu]

I haven't seen the anime, I'm reading the manga (lost children arc) and I honestly found the scene so powerful. Griffith had such a huge vision and a dream he wanted to come true, and guts not only being his most valuable warrior, but the one person he could trust to show his dark side to get dirty work done was going to be his golden ticket to truly reach there. The mere fact that this went from guts and Griffith battling the first time, and Griffith winning gracefully, to him almost having his entire right side cut off in just one swing from guts not only reveals how much stronger guts has become but how much Griffith has to lose now. If they were enemies at this point in time, he would have lost the battle, his life, and his dreams. How could someone who wanted a kingdom for himself ever achieve that if he could be killed so easily in one swing from a person as strong as guts? That realization alone makes this scene so great to me.

[@yumyumeatemup]

I always took away from this scene, not only that Gut's shook Griffith's confidence in himself by his effortless defeat, but also Griffith's top lieutenants' faith in him as well. In a single stroke all that progress and confidence in himself and in his dream came unraveled. How could any man who wanted to be king be so easily defeated? Had this been a battle Guts would have killed him in a single stroke and all his hard work would have been for nothing. So of course he had to "set the universe right", things needed to make sense again. He got over zealous and charged head long into his goals and so he bedded the Princess in his panic and grief. All the careful posturing, patience and strategy that helped jockey himself into position as one day inheritor of the throne recklessly abandoned in a single decision.

[@tylerhood5035]

This whole scene is simply fantastic. The dawn in the background signifies the beginning of something new, as Guts goes out to seek his own destiny. Griffith’s obsessive control over Guts, being unable to truly come to terms with his emotions towards him, and how it’s all over in just a single moment. Griffith loses everything in the very moment his sword breaks, and you can see it in his eyes. The tragedy of it all, is that Guts believed that through his dream to find himself, Griffith would be able to see him as a friend, without ever realizing that Griffith had already done so for years in his own possessive way.

Soon, Russell Westbrook will sacrifice the remaining Thunder players in a festival of darkness. As their bodies are devoured, their souls will transform Westbrook into one of the five greatest players of all time, The God Ballers.

[@harkness1720]

HAHAHAHAHA Matt I had the same thought too!

[@imarealone_0076]

Nah guts left to find his purpose and build himself up from nothing. KD left and joined the best team in the league for an easy ride lol.

[@lancelotray]

but but but russell was never the leader of the band...

[@jsahm38]

R.I.P Kentaro Miura, your work was truly incredible and you were able to see this pivotal moment come to life in this anime.

[@camerontempleman6085]

for some reason it irks me that they removed the tree from the manga. the shade it casts on griffiths sword while guts is shining in the sun, symbolizing guts rising and finding purpose as griffith falls and loses his. idk lol it doesn’t diminish the scene its just an iconic panel with nice symbolism wish they would’ve kept it

[@rahulbhardwaj100]

goosebumps, goosebumps when the guts theme plays. Seeing how this encounter changes everything. 😪😪😪

[@leonelvargas5207]

I wish Guts could've said those words he thought when he started walking away to Griffith before he left. Maybe then something would've changed

[@Kenoji8]

Without a doubt, this is one of the most poignant and important events in all of Berserk. Griffith, who up until this point was seemingly invincible and invulnerable (except when he and Guts faced Zodd), has suffered pretty much the greatest loss of his life. Early on, he lost a kid who followed him in battle when he was getting the Band of the Hawk together and it haunted him, but it was a means to an end to achieve his ambition, although he stated that, "My dream probably got this kid killed." Casca even told Guts that after that, Griffith changed. But upon meeting Guts, claiming his life, placing him in his band, and running campaigns and battles with him for three years, Griffith was desperate beyond all measure to prevent the man that would carry him to his ambitions from leaving...and he was utterly powerless to prevent it for the first time...ever. Zodd even warned Guts that "When this man's ambition crumbles, you will be destined to face your death." This is Griffith's first encounter ever of losing his ambition by losing Guts: his sword and his means of greater glory.

[@JarthenGreenmeadow]

Boscon altered the fate of the entire world by being such a high level boss character and breaking Guts sword.

[@undefeatedsaber9543]

I love the quote he says at the end. That mixed with his theme makes it feel so perfect.

[@francofeyling1856]

This scene is so amazing to me. It really put you in two minds about Griffith and Guts (if you didn't get it so far). In one hand, Griffith was decided to kill Guts, one of his most important men and the one who helped him get where they are at that time... And on the other hand, Guts feeling worthy about that showdown and decided to go his own way no matter what. Guts intention was not to kill Griffith and it shows how much of a great human being he is. Love this piece

[@onlyyou1974]

Guts: You'll be fine, You'll get back on your feet Narrator: He never be fine and never back on his feet

[@RealmRunner94]

Why didn't the new cgi version beserk keep the old 97 soundtrack. Completely changes the emotional effect of this scene

[@RockSmithStudio]

This scene cemented Berserk(1997) as a top tier anime show

[@KonoGufo]

God the symbolism here. Griffith claimed Guts with that sword; it's an object that symbolizes their bond. And Guts slices it in two. He parts with the majority of the Hawk without much quarrel or rancor, but his bond with Griffith is severed and left in the snow.

[@Eru_3ru]

This feels now like Miura as Guts talking to Audience who is griffith. We will walk soon again .... RIP Miura

[@harrydrake4173]

But Griffith didn't get over it. He plunged deeper into despair 😭

[@ahsank.]

RIP Miura, we'll never forget you.

[@rjsmind]

Its amazing that this scene can confirm so many peoples theories about what it means for the character: Is Griffith a narcissist who cant let Guts go because it strikes his ego? Is Griffith desperate to win because he doesent want to lose the only man he considers a true friend? Is Griffith destined to lose no matter what to suffer the consequences wich ultimatly lead him to the God Hand? Does Griffith have very real Romantic feelings for Guts and cant stand to see him go? Damn, what a genius writer Miura was...

[@PedroLucas-mg5je]

I guess it was all of those combined!

[@YoCelKreSunt]

It's what makes anime so great compared to current Hollywood. It doesn't hit us in the head with explaining everything and it doesn't try to make us think however they want us to think.. it's all left the viewer's imagination and leaves a mystery behind that before we know it we can't stop thinking about it.

[@mahtri3125]

This scene feels more natural than the newer version, Guts is in more character and his reaction to Griffith refusal is exactly as in the manga. Props to the anime team in the 90's, no revisionist stuff but actually a loyal portrait of what Miura tries to communicate. Also Kentaro Miura, was involved in all sketchs and props (concept art of armors, weapons, etc) of the characters during the animation.

[@Chris-nu8uf]

That soundtrack though. Show me an anime with a more memorable/awesome OST.

Easily the best adaptation of Berserk Manga, even though its old style, everything appeals to the viewer. I really like this series from storyline of this anime to its every detail its awesome.

Well, what did he expect to happen if he parried a sword that is literally 20x bigger than his?

[@truearyan7880]

He was a dark souls fan.

[@skttrbrain2513]

The '97 anime has a lot of problems, no doubt. But this scene right here remains one of my favourite scenes in all of anime. Pure art.

[@HakkTheGreat]

The story telling is just brilliant

[@ЭльханОруспай-ж9б]

Judo was probably the nicest comrade and guy amongst all of them to Guts. (Surely, Lupin was too) And yet...he died, saving his love and others. What a guy. Reminds me of the Orange-haired guy from Resident Evil: Zero, from Bravo Team.

[@imstupid880]

The guts theme at the end is the cherry on top

The OVA's music for this scene fits so much better than the movies. The Composer is legendary.

Before Berserk, I remember that I used to play mages in games. I liked magic. After berserk, I just played warriors, because two handed swords are fucking cool. This is the way
