BERSERK Is A Love Story

[@principlay874]

After Casca regained her memories, I knew from her dialogue with Guts behind the tree that she still loved him. But she hasn't gotten to the stage yet of accepting her trauma and she's why she can't look at him without being terrified. The purest happy ending for them would be Casca being able to look at Guts and see the man she loves, and Guts finally knowing happiness.

[@ANunes06]

It's even justified by her speech about it feeling like a dream the past 2 point whatever years. She is only JUST starting to process her trauma and is, frankly, doing a much better job than Guts. It's tragic for Guts, specifically, to arrive at his destination, achieve his goal, and not get the "reward" (ew), but even he understands that things can't just be forced back to the way they used to be. You're 100% right about the true ending being about Casca and Guts working through this and being together again, rather than Guts slashing Griffith in half and laughing in righteous victory or some crap.

The fact that it needs to be explained why a story like this is a love story its just a testament of how wrong is our view of love, i've been married for 20 years and of course nor me or my wife had been raped but love is not just beauty and happines, love is struggle, love is sacrifices, love is hard, love is strong, to live is to love.

[@wishette]

The dreamscape sequence was one of the most impactful chapters for me. The fact that she sees Guts as her protector still and fighting for her, finding any scrap of her he can to build her whole again. When her miniature version said "there is someone i want to see" and Farnese confirms that Guts wants the same thing, it really solidified that she is still so in love with him, even in her lost state. Their love is one of the most powerful I have ever come across. It is the absolute epitome of what true and unconditional love is. Its happiness, heartbreak, sacrifice, acceptance, giving more than receiving, im here for it all. I pray the ending to Berserk is one that they both truly deserve.

[@AmenallahMazhoud]

My friend: yo dude, can you recommend a nice wholesome romance anime? *Me:*

[@supersonicstyleatsonicspeed]

I want there to be a scene that mirrors Guts and Casca physically and passionately getting it on with each other (had to word it like that because of the KZbin not hiding comments) where Guts is the one to help heal her trauma the same way Casca did during the Golden Age. Of course, they’d get married and spend the rest of their days with each other. That would be so beautiful and a fitting ending.

[@WildDogGamerBoy]

To me, that would be the best possible ending. Then after the credits, play an epilogue scene mirroring the vision Griffith had of a peaceful life with Casca, but instead of him, Guts being the one in it. Edit: It would perfectly encapsulate Guts putting his revenge to rest for a married life, and Casca growing up from having her childish admiration for Griffith to real mature love towards Guts.

[@beheliteater]

Their romance will never be topped by another in my heart. The respect and love they grew for eachother is so human and honest. If I think too much about it I’ll cry lmfao, Guts and Casca are everything a relationship should be.

[@jaffarebellion292]

What a lot of people don't talk about is Guts losing his arm. He hacked it off himself, and he didn't do it for his own survival. He did it to get to Casca. Without thinking or even hesitating, he decided in that moment he'd rather live without his own arm than allow Casca to die. And that's Guts in a nutshell. You never once hear Guts tell Casca he loves her, but you see it in everything he does. When he hears she might be in danger during Conviction, he lets go of his vengeance and drops everything to go and save her. When he nearly does to her what Griffith did, he does something that must have been nigh unthinkable after the Eclipse. He lets people in. When she's on the beach with the JRPG party, smiling and having a good time, he stays back, just content that she's happy. Over the course of the manga, Casca has driven Guts to become a better man. We aren't told he loves her. We don't need to be. We're shown.

No matter how many times I analyse, read or watch berserk it never stops to amaze me... Specially the part about Casca and Guts. It always touches something deep inside

[@averageuraniumconsumer4856]

As deep as Griffith did casca

[@Val-qu2bo]

Seeing Guts and Casca’s relationship being build on through out the golden age arc just felt so real and human until the climax on Wounds where they fully opened to eachother sharing a tender moment. I hate to be that one person but reminds me of my relationship, following the same pattern from despising to growing fond and genuinely caring for eachother. Berserk, no matter who reads it there’s always gonna be some connection to the reader. We may not experience the hell characters go through. But their strengths and willingness to go on will always impact to whomever is reading.

[@averageuraniumconsumer4856]

L take

[@mikaylasmith7600]

"Her wish may not be your wish." When Skull Knight said that it all clicked for me. This is a love story, a tragic love story. I have a feeling we are not going to get the "boy gets girl and lives happily ever after" we so desperately hope for. Not all love is meant to last forever.

[@Tigo625]

Well that's not the strongest "trauma can be overcome through great effort" message in my opinion. It should have the happily ever after ending.

[@Eustakista]

The best ending for berserk is guts finally being able to give casca the world she deserves, one in which she can live without the danger of being hurted again by griffith Is a love story, yes, but, even after all experiences they had with one an another, you cant force someone to love you, the greatest love act is that of sacrifice

[@quantashonjamaldigglerbury4934]

Guts kills Griffith. Skull knight kills godhand. World is in ruins. Guts in ruins(literally. He’s in another battlefield) The hound demon dog inside guts telling guts to yield. Casca being irrelevant. Rest of guts new friends doing useless shit

[@ludwigxvii356]

Something that only few people notice it's when and why Guts fell in love with Casca, I think that when it's a very long period that starts from the 3 years time skip of the golden age to the return of Guts to the Band of the Hawk. Why? For my personal experience I think that Guts found in Casca the only person who had the courage to make him notice what he did wrong, the first to make him feel that he can't do everything he wants. She's a strong woman and he saw in her something none had

[@deadinside8719]

As a female I understand this story is full of love How a man go crazy fot his love,how he want to take revenge for his love, how he love so softly In the end guts just wanted to live with casca no matter what I Can just imagine even get loved by someone like Guts I wanna see them so bad

[@davidtalavera9138]

Thanks for making this video. Your one of the only KZbinrs around that portray the love story of casca as the main story while most just see "man with giant sword killing monsters" Berserk is not just a manga it's an epic that tells the human story of struggle

[@neveraloneforever2028]

You said it. It also works well as a part of a flashback and on its own. Miura's epic begins with Gut's at his lowest and Griffith/Femto as he is supposed to be understood (as the villain of all villains). The transition to the past was meant to show how tragic that is. However, Casca gives it new life beyond the chronology. She shifts her focus from Griffith to Guts just as the story shifts focus from the Black Swordsman Arc (with Gut's path to vengeance) to the Golden Age Arc (the life he left behind). Conviction brings these together. Long story short, it was always about Guts between Casca and Griffith and what direction he will take.

Ok im just gonna say it. This is obviously gonna be a controversial take, but i 100% think the best ending would actually be that Guts gives up all his rage for griffith and just moves on in order for him and casca to be together again.

[@pineapple8934]

That's a pretty popular opinion lol. Although, I do think Griffith or the other god hand have to die since guts and casca will go to "hell" once they die. Or, another theory is that guts somehow banishes Griffith and the entire astral world in general from the physical world meaning that there wouldn't be a "hell" waiting for them. Of course, this would be bittersweet as a lot of guts' friends are part of the astral world

[@c.galindo9639]

Now I am not one to gush or anything like that especially when it comes to fiction however Berserk really brings out something different in me when I am around it. Like a fangirl I am overexcited and eager to see anything Berserk related even though I already know much about it already or it’s just a review or recap. I really love how Guts and Casca have their relationship set up. Both struggled with rough lives growing up. Had their own trials in order to survive once they left their, respective families, both scarred and hurt, both in search of something unattainable to them, yet they work together to make their own dreams possible even though they have no idea of what it will be. I really get emotional over this couple and it’s always amazing for me to see over and over again
