@@DarkKnightCuron let's be real there is no way Guts would agree to becoming an apostle it's just against everything he has done. Plus even if he did, it would become even harder for him to fight Griffith due to that innate obedience to the godhand and especially Griffith himself. But who knows what Guts' future will be and I can't even begin to think of what the ending of all this could be.

[@michaelyoung9841]

That behelit is going to come in to play one way or another.

[@CarlTheSpud]

The desperation would be of greater disconcern. "Guts is more likely to try anything" is directly proportional to what he can accomplish on the battlefield. Which, the way he sees it right now is nothing. What makes Berserk/Guts so great to me is it takes the old saying "there is nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing left to lose" and willingly presses that logic against a razor, face first, thread by thread. Literally approaching Socrates definitions of men and virtue.

I think the manga is going on hiatus again so the team can fully flesh out and finish figuring out the rest of the plot. 371 feels like the end of an arc, and leaving it at such a depressing and infuriating (in a good way) cliffhanger means people will want to come back as soon as the manga continues.

[@GUILLE832]

I think the Beast kept off activating when confronting Griffith to fuck Guts over. Not because its power would have been able to put a dent in Griffith or anything like that, but because he didn't want Guts to lose consciousness when he realized just how powerless he truly is before Griffith. If Guts had lost himself in a rage he wouldn't have been able to see for himself how weak he is compared to his enemy, which was crucial for breaking him and allowing the Beast to break its shackles and then go in for Guts's mind.

[@basselhatem2]

Yeah I agree, but the real question is: what would the beast do after conquering guts' mind, other than devouring everything dear to guts, its real intentions are unknown, would it be to pursue vengeance, even though it knows how useless that would considering the outcome is inevitable, or maybe, and I know it's gonna sound crazy, use guts as a sacrifice for the beast to become its own deity, it sounds stupid, but it's not out of considerations.

[@No-Name0087]

@Bassel Hatem I'm pretty sure the Beast of Darkness only has one objective: kill. It doesn't have to be a specific person or group it only wants to savagely murder, rape, and destroy. This thing is a manifestation of Gut's hatred, rage, and evil. It has no other reason for wanting to hurt or kill other than it can.

[@ripghotihook]

Personally, I think the kidnapping of Casca was impulsive on Grifith's part. Partially the desire of the moonlight child wanting to be with his mother and partially his desire to have Casca back as a pawn/lover. It's less that he sees it as something planned out, more that he can write it into the plans, or he's confident that he can control things even though Casca is like Guts, being partially outside of causality.

[@volibear7635]

Can you elaborate on Casca being outside Causality? I was under the impression that SK saved her for Guts' sake, so that he would not lose himself and his body like SK, having a purpose because of her.

[@ripghotihook]

@Volibear well, when skull knight is talking to Guts in... I forget the chapter, but he explains to guts that normally people can't change things, but because Guts survived and he might be able to make some minor changes, akin to ripples on a pond. So, I would think that applies to Casca as well. It's not as if she and Guts are fully outside causality, like Griffith seems to be, but they are slightly outside of it. Probably not the best analogy, but think of it like this: Regular people are those standing by a pool and looking at it. They can't change how much water is in it or anything. Griffith can drain the pool, add food coloring, overfill the pool, put alligators in it, whatever he wants as he has control over it. Guts and Casca are stand8ng with the normal people, but each one has a sack of small stones. They can throw the stones in or skip them across, making waves. It doesn't change much, but it is more than normal people can do and can be outside of Griffith's predictions and plans.

[@funninoriginal6054]

9:48 Another character that's also currently on Falconia and knows Casca: *Charlotte.* Basically one of the pillars of the whole damn city, and one of the things that allow Griffith to have as much political sway as he does. Imagine when she finds out the woman she saw rescue Griffith from the tower of rebirth all these years ago is now a broken mess because of her lover.

[@mr.generico386]

I don't think Guts is going to or is even able to kill Griffith. From what I understood, Rickert is able to hit him because he doesn't see Griffith as a god, and the perception of the human mind is what powers the astral world and by extension the godhand. In theory, assuming i'm right, that means that the one who will kill Griffith will not be Guts or any of the characters who perceive him as a god, but a lesser character who doesn't, like Rickert for example. It all goes down to the story trope of the great evil not being defeated by the powerful but by the weak (Like LoTR). But that's only speculation and no one really knows what was in Miura's head except Mori, so thank god he's writing the story now and we'll be able to see Miura's ending at least at a conceptual level

[@AntiDecepticonCampaign]

Guts has to give up his hate to win. A man can not live by hate lest he be consumed by darkness and become evil. He is clearly at a crossroads of darkness and light, I’ve been there. Hardest challenge so far.

[@BT-ob7ve]

Yeah I see 2 ways of ending berserk Either guts kills griffith Or griffith gets consumed by his ambition while guts saves casca and lets go of his hatred.

[@moviemaker2011z]

@@BT-ob7ve honestly, having griffith lose everything even as a godhand would be perfect, guts needs to let go and its the entire lesson that skull knight is trying to teach him. going for blood and guts (reference intended) is only going to get you so far but what else is there when hatred no longer provides you with the means to get the job done? guts needs to let go and start really relying on his party for help and to overcome the darkness of the berserker armor. honestly the series ending with guts not being the one to deal the killing blow would be pretty good a clear sign that guts finally overcame his hatred and did let go. that or guts killing him after attempting to spare him would be another good way to do it as it would show he tried but griffith forced him to finish the fight.

[@prod.a.b.i.l1930]

Really small detail that I noticed about Sonia is that her armor in 371 has a heart symbol on it. Casca's sword hilt during the Golden Age had a Heart Symbol in it, I don't know if this is meant to represent how Casca and Sonia each show(ed) devotion to Griffith, but I think it's really subtle character design.

[@theholygamer969]

My best guess on how this will end goes as follows. Could be totally wrong. Skull Knight's complex plan will be put to action at his stolen kingdom, and it will either destroy one or all the members of the Godhand, at the cost of his old empire, which he learned to let go of long ago. The Godhand can't anticipate all of what he does, and he knows that. So he's taking advantage of their limitations to end the suffering they force on the world. Guts will properly grieve his losses instead of bottling it up like he did for years, tame his inner beast, and go on one final journey to retrieve Casca, and get out of Falconia as fast as possible. Guts won't be the one to get revenge, since it's now confirmed that he can't fight Griffith. Skull Knight can, so he'll be the one to carry out an attack on the Godhand and hope it's a killing blow. Guts will simply evacuate whoever he can before they're caught in the crossfire.

[@cheaplyskate4088]

@TheAlmightyLoli Maybe the reason why the Beast didn’t do anything when it saw Griffith is that it wouldn’t do any better & that would allow Guts to ignore the seduction of the Beast if he saw it be ineffective… now if the beast didn’t act it gets to promise Guts power, revenge, fury smothering out Guts’ despair.

[@jayqueuescontent8075]

Omg! Rewatching the episode where guts and Griffith have there snow duel and in the fight it literally shows guts only cutting off a hair off Griffiths head before he stops his blade so there’s definitely a connection between that duel that sent griffith spiraling down to the duel now that’s doing the same to guts damn that’s so awesome the parallels

[@psevdhome]

I think the parallel of Guts sinking to the depths of despair, parallelling Griffith's sinking to the depths of despair before and during the eclipse, is a bit understated. Griffith was fully lost, insane from torture, jealous of others' station and thinking his dream will never be accomplished. That's when he was manipulated into giving up his most precious thing, his mercenaries whom he had so desperately built, to gain power and ascend to a demon, to gain his dream of a kingdom. Guts' dilemma has been his friends and his vengeance on the other hand. He has so far ignored his vengeance, or rather it has set aside. But this chapter reveals that Guts never really let go of it. I think the dilemma was best put into words by skull knight: Guts can choose the path of vengeance but he might fade into a shadow of rage and malice with no real personality or person left. I believe this is what happened to Skull Knight. He chose vengeance and even to remain in existence, even when he was turned into a creature of a single purpose, who understands and exists for nothing other than vengeance. I think that's what the parallel with the queen of faeries was about, she still loves him, but to him the only thing he lives for is vengeance, his human past and priorities are forgotten, they are not real to him anymore. i believe this choice must come to Guts as well. Will he choose vengeance or his friends or some other path, yet unclear to me. To be precise, Guts will be presented with the power to destroy the Godhand but that power must come with a terrible price, like the parallel choice of Griffitth's. Maybe Guts will be overtaken by the spirit of vengeance that lives within him and only with great cost or the loss of one of his new companions will snap him out of his madness. In spite of the passing of the irreplaceable Miura, I believe the story has great potential and remains very interesting to me. We shall see what the future will give us.

[@NickName-theOneAndOnly]

6:05 Guts REALLY hit that yamcha

[@colingray8357]

The thing about toxic people like Griffith is that they never really let go. There have been people in my life who were manipulators, who always tried to keep others closest to them down in order to feel better about themselves. Which is Griffith to a t, as he literally became a demon to shut off his emotions and get what he wanted. The sad thing about people like this is treat they never really let go, they just focus on whatever they don’t have or their own insecurities. Even when Guts tried to move on, Griffith couldn’t handle it apparently, and so stole everything from Guts again. I’m sure this will come back to bite Griffith in the ass, but whenever Griffith is defeated or killed, I will have some satisfaction in knowing that the last thing he will see, real or imagined, was his best friend. I hate you Griffith.

My Theory: Skull Knight will tell Guts about a way to beat and kill Griffith ( Or maybe Guts learns this on his own ) and so he'll set out to kill Griffith either through leaving the party or them joining him to avenge the lives lost at Elfhelm. Casca will probably have to undergo some huge mental growth to allow her to fight the apostles one by one and in theory through confronting her past directly and turning her trauma into a strength, she'll probably be able to face Guts again and the two will reunite thus bringing us to the happy ending that we were promised.

I can see guts with the beast of darkness just marching towards Falconia as darkness takes over the sky following guts the more he walks.

[@Greendawn-di3dl]

I hoped after his death they'd lay this story to rest with hope the author could never have known, but we are in the same darkness, and the writers now know that more than ever. We are here forever.

[@goodhunter9791]

I think the stage is now set for a classic, albeit horrifically twisted trope. Our brave and intrepid hero must now rescue his fair maiden from the clutches of an evil dragon. She is locked in the tallest tower in the dragon's keep. But... Our hero may just fall into darkness, and be consumed by the Beast. Our dragon is a hawk, and the people believe the hawk to be their savior. I fear what Guts will become in the chapters to come.

[@PedroLucas-mg5je]

Or the maiden will overcome her traumas and get out of the tower!

[@djordjemiljkovic1563]

Love your Berserk vids, very well structured

[@MPC_COMPROMISED8652]

The beast of darkness tried to take over Guts right when he realised Griffith was there, but Guts resists it. U have a panel of the beast of darkness eye and then u get one of Guts resisting it, before he runs at Griffith.

[@hariman7727]

I honestly think that part of the Future character development will be Guts understanding that the beast of darkness is a part of him to be controlled and wielded, instead of simply resisted and denied. Once Guts understands that, he will be on the road to true mastery of the berserker armor.

[@asneakylawngnome5792]

Glad to see Mr. Koji keeping the hiatus tradition strong and going

[@caliberaxis8892]

I felt like the beast of darkness knew Guts couldn’t hit Griffith. Thus giving him control in the fight in order to drive him in that mental state. Because if the beast took over Guts would’ve gave only see sharp teeth instead of his attack outright on connecting with Griffith. Leaving his mental state somewhat more intact.

[@SmolStall]

I also love that people are debating whether or not the Beast of Darkness feared Griffith. imo The Beast of Darkness was physically TRYING to get out but couldnt. Like Guts wasnt controlling himself, its just that the Beast of Darkness was far to weak to even come out and face Griffith. Its amazing that we never even saw griffith face the berserk armor, because the berserk armor was so meaningless to him that it couldnt even come out by his sheer radiance. The winds were to strong.

[@spaz-the-space-wizard]

What I think it is Griffith's body is vulnerable when the demon child takes over I think he took casca because the child's kept going towards her putting him in danger

[@evildoughboy7773]

Sweet! Thanks to you, I'm a fan now and I plan on ordering the entire series.

[@teranasaurus_]

Tbh when I saw Sonia eye, I’m sure she looked into casca mind and saw everything, that’s why they had the panel of Sonia eye looking shocked. She knows what griffth truly is now. The panel of guts literally diving into the water, is pretty similar to when he was trying to get out of the abyss when the beast of darkness trapped him, he legit doesn’t care now, he knows the only way to win is give the beast of darkness the wheel.

[@patrickzalatoris3206]

Feels pretty fast, I mean I know she can read minds, but is that simple when someone's unconscious? A lot sonias the most loyal to griffith, but also jealous of when he's with another girl like Charlotte, I see it more of it being that griffith brought casca in falconia as like another sex toy for himself, but I could be off on that

[@jerm2332]

@@patrickzalatoris3206 It’s to control the moonlight boy. He kept seeking out his parents, particularly it’s mother, which were hundreds of miles away, so Griffith took casca for this presumably.

[@danglesmcbutternut4088]

Everyone's favorite witch, Shrike.

[@linuxwizzerd5908]

another thing with Sonia and her very likely knowing what they were going to do with Elfhelm, that also means she likely knew what she was doing when she invited Schierke to the Band of the Hawk and paints her whole scene with Schierke in a whole new twisted light I can buy her not being insistent on Schierke not coming with her because there's no real reason to show her hand like that in front of potential enemies and also probably reasoned that just one witch, and an inexperienced one at that, probably wouldn't pose too much of a threat in the long run so yeah, disaster very narrowly averted And another thing with the Beast of Darkness not doing anything during the Griffith fight, I figured the scene in the boat was where everything just hit Guts all at once emotionally and it was waiting until that point to do anything

[@stoutdonphan2161]

Building off your points: -Sonia's an apostle, we just haven't seen here demonic form yet (or have we??) -At the beginning of the Griffith fight, the beast did try to take over, but Guts was too pissed off to let it happen.

[@volibear7635]

An Apostle tried to eat Sonia in the forest, no?

[@Funmotion7]

I think that Guts was shown the memories of the Skull Knight for a very specific reason. It brings back the conversation that Skully had with Flora before she died, the Knight believing that fate is cyclical and that things are destined to repeat, but Flora disagrees, saying that she believes that it's more of a spiral. I deadass think she's right, after seeing what the Skull Knight *probably* did to the previous God Hand, and that his lover died in his arms in the Old Capitol... might be VERY important information for Guts to have Especially since he basically seems to be facing the choice of whether or not to become the Skull Knight and "let his hatred consume him" or "to use his rage to keep him alive". Skull Knight has been pushing Guts to try to make different choices than he did, and I don't doubt Flora helped as well, trying to resist the flow of Causality. Let us also not forget a warning from the Skull Knight: "You must choose between killing Griffith and saving Casca, you cannot do both." If Guts goes to Falconia with the intentions of killing Griffith, driven mad by his rage and hatred, he will be unable to kill Griffith. If Guts goes to save Casca, I think it'll knock Griffith off balance and he'll lose to Guts, very similarly to when Guts left the Band of the Hawk. Plus, it *is* possible to hit Griffith, we have seen Rickert do it, so perhaps one cannot strike Griffith down with hatred in their heart? Maybe Rickert or Casca was always supposed to be the one to kill Griffith, and Guts needs to be the one to protect them? I truly can't wait to see how this all comes together, so hyped for more chapters whenever they actually come out

Great timing, I was just rewatching your video on Conviction arc. I prefer Studio Gaga take their time with story and art, instead of rushing it, but HOPEFULLY, we're not looking at Boat Arc 2.0.

[@MrTurtlelover99]

i think this is when the behelit that is in guts' possession should be activated if possible. Forcing guts to sacrifice his very life and body to an even higher degree in order to get an increase in power. Or combine the behelit with the dragonslayer

[@Roberto-nn6kb]

But isn't this Griffiths behelit?

[@andresuribe272]

After finally catching up last night, I've never felt so much rage, sadness and confusion at the same time. I feel like we're at the point where Guts, after finally completing one of his goals of getting casca back, is back to square one AGAIN, but much worse. I believe skull knight is going to take guts with him to gain full control of the berserker armor without schierke. This hurts but at the same time I just love hearing other people's theory's of where their going to take this story next. Griffith's ass is next for taking his girl AGAIN

[@fashionsuckman4652]

Even if gains control of the berserker armor, it damage his body no matter what. Mastering the armor isn't gonna help much. Especially since Guts' sword apparently can't even hurt Griffith

It should be said that the Beherit that Guts has is not meant for him. According to several characters in the story, he is carrying it someone else. It could be Casca's

[@OmegaTav]

But she’s already a sacrifice for someone else, so would that even work for her then?

[@anon1239000]

the only character that i thought mightve used it was serpico but not so much atm

[@moviemaker2011z]

@King Cesar slan stated when guts fought her in her "womb" that he could always use the behelit as an easy way out and to gain more power, so I'm thinking that maybe it doesn't matter if your branded or not, maybe anyone can use it regardless if they have been sacrificed or not. We don't know the rules because this is like the first time someone has survived the sacrifice aspect of the ritual. Honestly I find it stupid that Griffith gets to be a member of the God hand even though his sacrifices were not all killed off as per the agreement. If anything that alone would be more than enough to inspire him to want guts and casca dead but he has his power and knows guts only wants to be left alone so why keep pursuing him and making him pissed off?
