[@HexFix90]

I always thought the biggest tragedy was that the last image his eye captured was Caska being raped by Femto.

[@somponz]

if it was not for puck this series would be down right depressing, well said chibi couldn't agree more! haha

[@ironwez20]

Series is a masterpiece love berserk so much

[@ChibiReviews]

Yep it's a masterpiece

[@thorfaxx6027]

I recommend reading the manga while listening to a looped version of guts' theme from the berserk anime ost. It gives a much more immersive feel.

[@ChibiReviews]

Thorfax x I usually do

[@juanpablomuller6543]

+Thorfax x I like reading the manga with atmospheric black metal in the story parts and when battle ensues I change the music to death metal, and it's fucking awesome. This manga was made to be read with death and black metal as background, and I don't even like that kinda music that much.

[@nayyork60]

Juan Pablo Müller bullshit you like that shit

[@diablo7168]

i prefer the entire 1997 OST of berserk on loop as it captures differrent tones since guts's theme doesnt fit with every panel

[@xoooxthanks6957]

The movies are well done. Their CGI is not bad and some scenes (especially 2nd movie) are gorgeous. Bad CG= Berserk 2016.

[@Datemuneryu]

Berserk is easily one of my favorite mangas. I read Berserk a bit too early though cuz I was 12 years old when I read volume 13 haha Like that rape part made me kinda scared and I was so caught up in it that i could really feel guts helplessness at that part when his arm was stuck and shit and that made super sad. I was really close to shed a tear when he ran through the woods. Guts will forever be my fav character :) I think I'm gonna reread the series cuz u pointed out a lot of things I never really grasped (cuz I had a hard time reading English back then) Thanks Chibi! You really rekindled my love for berserk! :D

[@ChibiReviews]

No problem Datemun! Glad I could help

[@FRUTOOO]

The thing u said about Kaneki and Guts, I love Tokyo Ghoul, but Guts it's on a different lvl of human xD He can't go crazy because he's strong as fuck, he fought since he was a child, he knew what pain was time ago, the smell of blood... And Kaneki just saw pure cruelty and wasn't able to stand to such pain, and turned more cruel to survive.

[@RSSpeacemaker]

What is terrifying me right now is imagining the series ending where guts sacrifices his life just to kill Griffith and he goes down in history as a bad guy. God that'd suck. And it practically seems like Griffith is setting the stage for it too.

[@aqworldsanimeking]

+RSSpeacemaker Guts wont be able to sacrifice someone, he is a sacrifice himself.

[@RSSpeacemaker]

Yeah I know. Read my comment again lol you read it wrong.

[@aqworldsanimeking]

+RSSpeacemaker ohh i get it, sorry.

[@RSSpeacemaker]

It's all good lol

[@aqworldsanimeking]

***** Probably wont be a disney "happily ever after" ending tho. Death can be involved right before the ending.

[@VarjoPira]

I shed some tears when I read through the Eclipse. The raw emotion behind everything you've seen built - all the characters and relationships - being teared away in moments. That's so emotionally sick it's almost disturbing that Miura was able to write it.

[@tonpato2939]

Only monsters can destroy monsters

[@tugay199156]

Wait for the Millenium Falcon Arc ;) And Bro, seriously you really understand the plot and story it is nice that you really take an deeper look into the themes and the plot overall (Y)

[@ChibiReviews]

Berserk is a very mature series so I'm trying to understand everything about it

[@tugay199156]

You do the best thing. What i noticed about many other Readers is that theey dont even understand the plot correctly, most of them probably just marathon the series without making any small thoughts about the new plot points, themes etc. Thats what i like the most about your reviews, you really try to understand the story

[@Jaze1618]

So glad your review came back at the end to mention the Holy See. Thanks for making this one extra long. We look forward to volume 15.

[@ChibiReviews]

Jaze1618 No problem Jaze

[@TheGamerXDMC]

guts path to revenge will be a tough one that's for sure

[@ChibiReviews]

I pray for him

[@MegaMilkGaming]

Chibi Reviews but you would be just plat it the evil God O_O

[@touchingisjustthefirststep]

At this point it's not about revenge anymore.

[@angushorton7498]

DUDE! You speak with such nerdy passion. You are the next Quentin Tarantino, First video of yours I've seen but im definetly subscribing. KEEP UP THE GOD WORK :D

[@canudeiro]

Your reviews are pretty good, man. The thing I like about it is that you really enjoy the series, and it seems you wanna discuss about it all by the pleasure of doing it. Great work!

[@Likhos1]

The scenes of the Eclipse was done pretty nicely in the Films

[@ChibiReviews]

Likhos1 Yet to see that part

[@XABLENXIII]

It's gonna be so depressing when you get caught up. Waiting for a new chapter is torture.

[@BlackBerserkgasme]

Great review man, such an emotionally volume and you described it so well. I felt the exact same way after reading it the first time, so awesome, but so emotionally draining, tears were shed.

[@Dwish305]

I’m cracking up at your rating for volume 13 and all of these volumes as well. You’re a legend.

[@crumbusto6885]

Tower of Conviction arc was close to the level of the golden age for me.

[@caerulious4619]

Wow Chibi, i kind of want to start reading Berserk now. After time and time again putting it off, i might pick it up. This is really good stuff!

[@irdigega5056]

we all thought kaneki was more tortured and insane mc in manga until you read what guts had gone through i get his attitude now from chapter 1-3 :) great review chibi

[@ChibiReviews]

Guts has went through so much

[@imgoingberserk5918]

I've re-read the Golden Age arc at least 16 times, and every time I get to the part where Guts leaves Casca with Erica and Godo, I just get filled with so much sorrow, anger, sadness and rage. I literally will go outside and cream 'Griffith' at the top of my lungs. It's not like it's a tradition, but Kentaro conveyed so much emotion into Berserk that it's overwhelming. I would go as far as to say that not only is Berserk the best manga ever created, it even rivals the works of Tolkien.

[@Coltaine_]

16 times!!! thats more than an obsession lol. dont blame ya tbh its my first time and im already thinking about rereading this soon

[@imgoingberserk5918]

Omar Jr I worship Berserk to a degree.

[@Coltaine_]

Hiøtr Björnson Snepill think I might have to convert aswell lol

[@ImAphax]

ive gotta say i give u props for taking ur time with berserk i couldnt stop reading it when i started but now i gotta wait months for a new chapter

[@battlerushiromiya651]

One thing about Berserk is that it always leaves me a bit mind-fucked after reading chapters like the ones in Volume 13, I couldn't even finish vo.14 because of it :( One thing I have noticed so far in this manga, is that people snap when life becomes too much for them, and yet Guts even despite losing his friends and having to see his idol fall, plus his lover raped in front of him, while he is powerless and is held down, along with all the other shit he went through before, it takes strength to not lose your mind. After that finding out that your whole life will be spent in fighting various monsters that seek you out, it takes strength to not give up right then and there. To top it off, finding that your child is now a demon and still moving ahead and being maybe ready to kill him, God of destiny beware, motherfucker, Gutts might just break you up. Definitely one of the most deep, well written and remarkable MC's I have seen

[@Walamonga1313]

Most common reaction when reading Berserk "That is fucked up"

[@Seomus]

Beserk is my favorite manga. It's the only manga I still collect. Loving your comments. Sometimes it's hard to remember what it was like before you read it all, so it's great seeing your reactions.

[@Noksivs]

Susumu Hirasawa - Behelit

[@ChibiReviews]

Crovaxx2 Love the ost

[@BORISTIMUS]

A fish can jump out of the water but always falls back in. So imo causality can be opposed since guts and casca survived the eclipse. That could be them jumping out of the flow of destiny unless that too was parts of ioe's plan. Maybe the idea actually has some more fucked up shit for our heroes in store. Like guts becoming an apostle. He's halfway there imo with the beast of darkness being so strong within him.

[@MrRavellon]

I think you absolutely nail it with Puck's role. He's probably the reason I never dropped Berserk like I did Vagabond and Wolf Guy.

[@mackybell14]

A little comic relief goes a long way man, we gotta appreciate these guys more for their efforts. :)

[@nfmaster4851]

Lol, dropping Vagabond wtf

[@MrRavellon]

Aydarus Hassan Got a bit depressing and didn't get better for too long.

[@nfmaster4851]

MrRavellon Didn' get better? The character development of Takezo is crazy

[@MrRavellon]

Aydarus Hassan Maybe it did but by that time I dropped it. Too intense for me with too little comic relief. After all, that's the purpose of comic relief.

[@MichaelWasnotTaken]

Humans seem to only cling to religion when they are suffering or long for something, so a god born from human pain and suffering will be evil. Similar to the god in silent Hill 3 cool. also good job chibi

[@shahinsarhangy1958]

Hell even Guts called this shit out in the Berserk manga lol

[@Zehahahaa]

That soundtrack in the background always gives me goosebumps

[@SanilShah1999]

Isaac Splinker Can't get that scene out your head, can you?

[@joohnnykuz5327]

Wow, this was amazing. And here i thought tokyo ghoul was the only thing using the concept of a tragic hero amazingly. But beserk...holy shit, it was good. But if guts get a happy ending that would really kill it for me.

[@ChibiReviews]

Highly doubt his journey will be happy

[@Enkulator98]

What if the idea of evil is just creating a destiny for guts, he was always searching for his own dream and when he tought he find it (settling up with caska) evrething broke up. Basically settling up with caska wasn't really in correlation with his fighting nature so he gave him this mad endless fight, thinking after all he will accomplish what he thinks is his dream.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

These volumes were something else when reading them. Nice review.

[@dirtyduck10]

You must re read this chapter again and then play the track called "Monster" it's from the Beserk soundtrack. It will enhance your experience, so haunting

[@Likhos1]

The fairy apostle is based on a moth. (Vampire moth according to certains sources, but there is other sources that says this is another specie.) I liked one thing more about the Dragonslayer, it's that Godo admit the Dragonslayer is a joke of a sword. (Also he states that dragons don't exist so the sword is useless... Then Guts comes.)

[@ChibiReviews]

Likhos1 Good thing there's Demons

[@Likhos1]

Chibi Reviews I don't think that's a good thing.

[@nightravels4028]

You're right about the CGI, not good at all. Pure laziness! The other two aren't as bad in all honesty but the anime is much better really. I watched it before reading the manga and it was one of my fav animes ever, it still is. Not as good as the manga but you should still watch it buddy

[@dataseptable]

I love the golden Age arc so much, but my favorite is by far the resurrection arc.

[@ChibiReviews]

Can't wait to get there

[@LeongChiuWai]

Great that I found this channel.... 👍👍👍

[@moonstonepearl21]

Yea Puck is awesome. Love him. When he's not there, there's definitely the feeling of something missing.

[@wdkaye]

The whole thing with Guts's child really messed with me, too. Soooo disturbing. The story goes in some surprising and unexpected directions, after this. I think you'll like it and look forward to your reaction

[@lanberiondale6363]

Hehehe I hear anime music from Berserk in background....to be more precise Behelit theme :D Nice Chibi ;)

[@fogged2]

So summarize, it's a masterpiece that might be the most underrated of all manga.

[@Sasha-kr3iq]

i watched anime when i was about 15 and this scene broke me so much. it is still painful to even go back and read it in manga and watch this scene in new movie. after this you can't deny that berserk is a masterpiece. not because it plays with your feelings but shows human weaknesses in such a revealing way it's overwhelming and shameful thank you for reviews, found your channel today and it's very entertaining)

[@Sasha-kr3iq]

Cosmic Turner yes it was disgusting to watch very sad like I said

[@alejandrorecalde9733]

It is very philosophical that goes damn well with the extreme art that it comes with... Berserk so far, is the best manga and the best fantasy fiction from the east. Guts is the struggler... pure willpower in its pure definition, bend the rules and fk the world up, that is what berserk is about.

[@ChibiReviews]

The themes are something else when it comes to this manga

[@alejandrorecalde9733]

Yeah, he gets as high as some great authors in literature and for a mangaka that is something I really really respect. Miura is the best mangaka ever with the best mature story and philosophy few authors deliver nowadays

[@ThatsMildlyAdequate]

I have an app on my phone that has manga, so that's how I read berserk. The lost chapter was in it and I didn't understand it until I reread the manga from the begining again

[@Artemisthemp]

Wish I could see the Lost Chapter (grapic) since, it seem really interesting from what, I can see from Wiki.

[@ZanathKariashi]

The cgi gets significantly better with each of the OVAs, and the 3rd is generally considered to do a decent job (the only real high point of OVA 2 is that they slipped in an early bird cameo for two characters at the Victory Celebration party who'll be important later...though they also changed some stuff). The tv anime also did a pretty good eclipse...aside for it infamously just ENDING abruptly without any explanation (right before the Skeleton Knight would've shown up) and that being the end of series (Mostly because the Skeleton Knight was completely removed (Puck was also completely removed), so there was no way to explain how he survived the Eclipse...so they didn't bother trying...he just did SOMEHOW and after the credits walked out of Godo's which eventual led into where he was in Episode 1, which was very loosely based on Volume 1). The Abridged Series by Hbi2k is quite good (though it was made back when it almost unheard of for a collaborative effort by multiple abridgers, so he does all the voices, but manages a decent range, and loves poking fun at stuff the anime censored or left out completely from the manga). They also started working on the OVAs as well, with a several of TFS crew and some other good VA helping this time (though only 1 of them is done so far).

[@ChibiReviews]

Might need to watch movie 3 then

[@SnowXiV]

Did you get to the third movie?

[@stephenshaw7108]

Oh but it can get darker so dark Wesley Snipes looks white in comparison

[@ChibiReviews]

Stephen Shaw xD

[@SaucePest]

New Berserk chapter just came out

[@VenomtheOne]

[@SaucePest]

VenomtheOne only the raws are out it will take a while to get translated

[@D1Smo0ve]

SaucePest I'm waiting and I heard it's beastly.

[@SaucePest]

Ded Silver Its not as good as its hyped but its shocking to say the least

[@D1Smo0ve]

SaucePest Aw man

[@AAhihi]

[@ChibiReviews]

[@ChibiReviews]

Brook Stallings Oh are you caught up with it?

[@aaronstallings4996]

Chibi Reviews yup.

[@WarCloud20]

God i love this manga. You're funny dude good shit.

[@ImJeSsYMaRtY]

I always have the voice of bane from the dark knight rises in my mind whenever i read a batman comic with bane in it XD

[@ChibiReviews]

Jesse Gerrits You and your comics..........

[@ImJeSsYMaRtY]

;) comics are just american manga

[@ChibiReviews]

Jesse Gerrits Merica nuff said

[@ImJeSsYMaRtY]

canada thou :P

[@_Vanshio_]

actually the art and animation in the berzerk movies is insanely good they only use cg in battle scenes

[@KeatonKing]

Please watch the other two movies too, they improve everything by far!

[@korazroom]

I felt it so much I watch the serie and the three movies and read the volumes and when I read it I felt Gutts pain so much that the only thing imwanted was to get in there and reach out god damn it

[@pobbart13]

Every time I see that panel of guts (the thumbnail) I think "Do he got da booty?..........He doooooooo!"

[@pobbart13]

Androgynous elf butt ftw! XD

[@ChibiReviews]

pobbart13 Dat elf................Already read volume 15. That shit was good

[@pobbart13]

Chibi Reviews Wow, You're blazing through them! :)

[@zackfiat607]

Chibi Reviews do the reviews please the only review i curently looking forward to is berserk

[@ChibiReviews]

dzaki roni Soon

[@amarebrathwaite6224]

Nothing can shock you anymore eh? I'll hold you to that!

[@ImperialFistStan]

Country accent came in a few times there. You from the southeast?

[@ZypherGaming]

This Just in chibi breaking news omfg Nisekoi Season 2 is coming soon

[@ChibiReviews]

Zypher Crazy

[@ZypherGaming]

Chibi Reviews have you seen season 1 yet

[@joey.h14]

also this really makes you think (if you believe in god and stuff) that "does satan actually have a reason" and "could he be right in someones perspective". but another thing is, "could god and Jesus have been wrong"

[@librotkape9956]

Holy shit! This is Chibit 2 years ago?

[@Donsposts]

next do Gantz review volume by volume.

[@aditxd1]

i dare you chibit. i double dare you!

[@moonstonepearl21]

Yea I can't say I've seen a character with a more tragic backstory than Gutts. His is kind of hard to beat.

[@geldboom8144]

Please try tower of god. It is a korean manga. It's called a manwa, it is in full colour and it releases weekly. I would like to hear your opinion on it. Keep up the good reviews.

[@ChibiReviews]

Tom Nijland I'll try

[@ds1011]

Tom Nijland even tho this is 3yrs ago,i jus wanna say TOG sucks,its so childish and the arts are not even good,i couldn't even manage to complete it,i don't even understand how its so popular,in terms of webcomics NOBLESSE is 100x better

[@n4ko]

By the third movie the animation gets amazing.. .still cgi pretty sure. But u can barely tell most of the times.. and the art looks amazing.. i gotta say.....Go watch it.. u will love the third movie

[@ChibiReviews]

Marian Dani I'll try

[@omarct]

Chibi Reviews You should try the anime. Just to get a feel for the characters voices and watch the fighting scenes in motion. I didnt like the movies but I enjoyed the anime. Just dont watch past the Guts leaving part, no need to see caska raped twice. Also the soundtrack is fucking amazing, search for "forces by Susumu Hirasawa" It is fucking incredible, only thing I listen to while reading the manga.

[@inr9751]

omarct I know it's an old comment, but... Don't watch past the Guts leaving part? Fuck kinda advice was that? Anime eclipse is almost as great as the movies and the rape scene was done so much better, even with censorship.

[@ostenkruchowski5392]

Berserk is the first manga I've ever read

[@rafaelnahafahik7781]

Good luck trying to find something to top it

[@moonstonepearl21]

I saw someone bring up somewhere that the Idea of Evil might only be half of the picture. What about an Idea of Good? Like a Ying Yang type of thing. Also is there any other form of power higher than the Idea of Evil and the possible Idea of Good; like a God in more of a traditional sense? All interesting questions to ask. Also yea, the religious parallels are interesting because the roles are essentially reversed of who is good and who is evil, though we don't know the end game of the being or beings pulling the strings. Who knows what exactly can be called good or evil here.

[@SenpaiCubed]

dat behield OST doe. i know ALL my anime soundtracks :P

[@ChibiReviews]

***** xD

[@gabeperras3711]

I hope he watched the anime (i noticed he uses the ost in this video) and as far as the movies goes the 3rd one was good.

[@animefreakmaddy]

Chibi your analysis is somewhat correct about the concept God and this type of jesus (Not offending any Christians) and its great that you interpreted it at this point..BTW Great Review! :D

[@ChibiReviews]

animefreakmaddy I was thinking about it for a entire week

[@animefreakmaddy]

Chibi Reviews well you did put a fair amount of thought for that Bererk Greatness!!!

[@smittywerbenjaggermanjensen69]

Chibi Reviews it is really cool to see how much you think about these things That is one of many points why you are my favorite reviewer ~

[@TheKeyser94]

+Alec S. The manga is really good, and really violent, never the less, the cliffhanger was to great for me, I would expect that the manga is finish, then I would read it entirely.

[@rebelpoxy]

Well, technically, all Apostles, even the Godhand were humans previously so humans being evil in the world of Berserk is a given.

[@jreaganmorganchannel]

At the very least, the brand of sacrifice and the caduceus of the church are essentially the same icon, so it is likely that there is something behind the religion, especially since there are true prophecies and miracles associated with it.

[@ObamaBluWaffles-]

I have the craziest theory of how the series will end. griffith will bring the last humans in the world to his kingdom, sacrifice them and bring the Idea of Evil into the world and the LAST actual human beings will be guts and casca. Guts confronts the idea of evil and has a bloody fight with griffith (he'll find some type of upgrade), the idea of evil will state to him that as long as evil exists, he exists. Then guts realizes what he has to do, he impale himself, dying in Cascas arms the very last human with evil I'm their soul/heart dies and the idea fades away, griffith screams I'm agony and disintegrates to nothing. There's no one left on the planet except Casca and she regains her memory. The end.

[@Sokka2Me]

A real NGE ending starting there...just kidding! In all seriousness, not a bad theory

[@jasonrusso2934]

+Kacey Boggs That would be one crazy ending, wouldn't have expected it. We'll have to wait and see, it will be years though.

[@alejandrojornet5265]

Kacey Boggs It's awesome!

[@niles1492]

Kacey Boggs you just ruin the ending, for me now.... jk hopefully.

[@distortedsteeve2980]

Reading this now, casca regains her memory and that ending isn't happening. Nice thought though. I believe kentaro miura will make it more complicated than Lost. Lol

[@pobbart13]

The CGI in the movies changes each movie.... thank god they didn't mess up the eclipse though. ;)

[@Satekas]

Why do you choose to have this hairstyle?

[@cloudbloom]

I was thinking the same thing. never seen this guy before but that haircut is strange with mange.

[@Walamonga1313]

Kestutis Kestutaitis It's not his hair style/haircut, it's his actual hair that looks so weird. Looks like it would be an afro if he let it grow.

[@kriscross295]

when will new episodes come back. I wanna see some Daemon griff

[@MrZangetsu468]

6:34 made me lol

[@tonydeadlock]

Guts is still some what stable you should see him in some of the following volumes.

[@Channel88266]

Fight evil with evil.

[@krutarthkadam2342]

Volume13 is truly just a one time read , hust because its soo dark

[@guilhermeveigadeandrade7428]

I think griffith represent the antchrist, because the antchrist is said to be a person that seems good, and that is a man of god, and everybody follows him as a new messiah, but im the end his a serpent, a demon

[@jakeo5773]

I've read the entirety of berserk at least 10 times, most of which were for analytic reasons but a few of which were for fun but i digress, that's volume 13 at least 10 times..... honestly its just tiring at this point. No matter how much you read it it never gets better. :p

[@amarebrathwaite6224]

Not to sound stupid but is it possible that you can use manga panels to illustrate you're explanation?

[@eddefy22]

Chibi are you like from texas or, middle america?

[@ivanangeli]

"if it does shock me, I will stand corrected" so, 2 years later and all read, what do you say? :)

[@Coltaine_]

is this chapter after the first 3 chapters

[@vallgron]

I wish they kept the eye patch

[@calimerohnir3311]

The death of apostle rosine was so emotional... the only thing to come close to the eclypse.

[@kblargh]

You know, i'm starting to worry my comments are TLDR, which is why i just deleted a monster of a post i'd just written so i'll just sum it up as this: The only messianic aspects Griffith embodies are the most superficial, if that. Guts is a far better embodiment of actual divine nature. That's it, not expanding on it in this comment.

[@ChibiReviews]

kblargh I always read the entire comment. No need to worry.

[@kblargh]

Chibi Reviews Oh, don't mind the wall of text, then. One thing that hasn't gotten out of the dark ages, is the general perception of godhood by two elements, Power and Posture. All the while the primary one, Nature, usually gets itself largely ignored. The former are always the flashier and more readily noticeable, but i think in this case, even though the Godhand sure do act the part when it comes to the former two, their nature is unmistakably full-on balls-out demonic. Berserk itself touches on this, though it would spoil you if i said when, but basically, there is a theme somewhere in there of the Holy See focusing tremendously on the superficial aspects of divinity, while being rotten to the core. This comes apparent in the difference between Guts and Griffith. Griffith's dream is getting his own nation. It's an ambitious, tangible, quantifiable thing, and, if i may go a bit further, pretty carnal. Guts' dream, on the other hand, is so abstract he himself doesn't even know he has it. You can't even rightly call it a dream, it more like an impulse, a drive. Guts wants, at all times, to be the best he can possibly be. It seems a humble thing, but it's only as small as you yourself are. In Guts' case, given the strength of his character, it is a drive so tremendous even Griffith can't stand against it. Griffith himself notices this, though he can't really understand what it is. He can move forward if he has his dream to guide him, but Guts can move forward no matter what. His "dream" cannot be destroyed, because it's part of his very nature. Griffith lacks this, and i think that's what draws him toward Guts. It's worth noting that while everyone else stood in awe of Griffith as a figure, an idea, Guts pretty much only cared about Griffith as a person. Yeah, he made reference about how big Griffith's dream was, but that was in pretty much the same conversation that he also mentioned, rather affectionately, how Gaston wanted to settle down an open a bakery, and how other members of the Raiding party, that he knew by name, wanted to do their own thing when the war was over. Guts only becomes unsatisfied when he gets the impression that Griffith doesn't value him the same way, and that's the plane he wants to level with Griffith. Whatever talk of dreams, and things he wants to achieve are just a means to earn his friend's friendship (little did he know how he already had, and then some). The very abstract and unquantifiable nature of Guts' drive is, in my, view what classifies him as decidedly the most spiritual of the two. And in the final confrontation at Windham's outskirts, when Guts is finally focused on what he wants (and Griffith is wavering at the thought of not getting his way), he flawlessly strikes down Griffith in one swing, barely breaking a sweat. Also, if we compare similarities to messianic figures and whatnot, the Messiah himself was a dude that that was pretty humble and down to earth. Yeah, he performed miracles, but he was mostly known for his character. Heck, he even rebelled against the church at one point. By contrast, the immaculate holier-than-thou vibe that Griffith so often gives off, can be superficially thought of as messianic (thanks for that, Inquisition), but if you dig a little deeper, it's more accurately associated with the antichrist. And btw, that is pretty much how i see Griffith. Not saying Guts is the Messiah of Berserk, but he's definitely... something very serious. Can't really think of a good word to end that sentence with.

[@HawkofLight007]

The only difference between Griffith and guts is that Griffith is aware of his consciousness, while guts basically is just getting dragged on his path. Griffiths dream was not to have a kingdom or to be a king, Griffiths dream was to fulfill his destiny which he was fully aware of which just so happens his destiny was to become a ruler. On the other hand guts destiny is the path of destruction, that is all guts does that's all he is been doing since he was a kid (arguably since he was born) the only reason guts doesn't know what his dream is is because he is not aware like Griffith is. But it is more that obvious that guts dream would be to destroy something. As much as he is not affected by destiny anymore he was for a long part of his life that lead him to become part of the world of the demons. And if you actually think about it that was probably his destiny all along, to become a demon. After all that's what demons are... Destruction.

Chibi Reviews Mad props for recognizing and remembering that we see Guts' child in volumes 1, 2, & 3. Great foresight and planning on the part of Kentaro Miura to tie details together like that!! That is just one of the amazing traits he possesses as an author/illustrator that sticks around for the whole series.

Read 20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa (Monster, Pluto). Trust me, this is one manga that you cannot miss out on.

Guts and Darth Vader. Very similar tragedy in many ways, but guts damn....

The Hand of God made pretty clear to me that the "God" or the "Gods" in this universe wasn't a shiny example of all of good, and by reading the manga, I realize that this is the last universe that I would like to live, there is no good deity here, only demons, but that doesn't stop humans into believe that there is something good in all this darkness, never the less, they are still humans and human nature dictate their actions.
