Loved the vid but if I'm not mistaken, isn't it band of hawk and not band of falcon?

[@animeanime375]

"'Falcon' or 'Hawk', both mean 鷹 in Japanese. In some dictionaries, 'Falcon' is translated as [隼(はやぶさ)], but there's almost no difference.

You might have forgotten it, but the Idea of Evil' "heart" appearance is simply its core. When Griffith asked if this is what God looks like, it replied that what he is seeing is simply his core. Not to mention the "heart" of the Idea of Evil is similar to the Sea God's heart in appearance

​@@selfishbeatsdawg, we know next to nothing about the previous god hands. He should've mentioned them but what else do you want

[@TheNickelGhost]

I think it's important to mention that the Idea of Evil is _sort of_ non-canon. It appeared in a single chapter in the original monthly publication, but that chapter has been excluded from every collected volume, and the Idea has never been brought up since. Miura had second thoughts about introducing a single almighty God into the story so he purposefully left it out, although he never officially marked the chapter as non-canon.

[@heckogoop4318]

I like it’s inclusion. I think it adds the last layer of confusion and etherealness to the world of berserk. That chapter with Griffiths soul being transported to some other-worldly realm with hell all around cements the feeling that there won’t be any victory for Guts. It is something he literally cannot fight, it is a concept (being born of thoughts and feelings), and its influence cannot be tampered.

[@AlexandreOliveira-ei5ig]

@@heckogoop4318I think making every single choice Griffith has ever made being programed by the Idea of Evil takes the weight of his decision to sacrifice the band of hawk

[@educatedlaziness3268]

[@babysinclairfan]

Theory: The god hand sre not only lying, but they are being lied to. As villains, that's par for the course, but let's go into it. They're not immortal or omnipotent. Guts was able to hurt Slan and Void's act of protecting himself indicates that he doesn't want to be attacked directly. We are also told that god hands go to hell when they die, meaning that their death is a real possibility. The idea of evil's goal is for souls to go to hell. Whether demons kill or are killed, the loser goes to hell. If a god hand member is threatened, the idea of evil has no plans of saving him/her. They're just as expendable as any apostle. Another point: If fate is so absolute, why must the god hand work so hard to enforce it. The answer? It's not. Without their constant and interference, events would play out very differently. They just want people to think that. The idea of evil understands causality and is somehow so absurdly intelligent that it can predict the future, but free will is still a factor. People can upset its plans because they have done so in the past. Guts and Skeleton Knight did not act "according to script", so the god hand have had to adjust their schemes to compensate. "Do as thou will" is a myth. Demons work for the idea of evil and are arguably less free than they were prior to transforming. The demons also haven't lost their humanity as much as they'd like to think. Despite their power and grotesque appearance, they've retained all of their desires, fears, and personal weaknesses. The identity of "demon" is just a way to bury their guilt. They're slaves who are told that they're free and commit acts of evil because they believe that nobody is coming to punish them. As we see time and time again, justice finds them. Griffith, ironically, has guaranteed that he'll never achieve his dream. For him, having a kingdom meant freedom and answering to nobody. Instead, he has damned himself to being #6 when he really wants to be #1.

Skull knight would be closer to khorne, that's his thing. Guts objective is distancing himself from the god hands, albeit he is failing miserably in that regard, so it all goes back to Griffith.

Guts is basically the indomitable human spirit

[@ultralance7470]

It’s highly debatable if Void was originally human. You can say for certain every other godhand member was, but Void it is uncertain. There’s a big theory that Void was the first demon and as such as, has no human counterpart. The theory says that he began existing as the antithesis to the one human King and that Void gained the support of the four elemental lords to bring him down. You can even take this further and say maybe Void was once the human king and therefore is using Griffith to gain such means.

[@temphy]

I'm pretty sure during the magic island arc it was heavily implied and basically said without being directly said, that Skull Knight was that great human King

[@hugobelugo6797]

People who wonder how could Guts kill them. We dont know if Guts will be actually the guy to kill them (but we know they can be killed somehow). Its obviously stated that Guts now is the mentor and leader of the Group and everybody wants to be like guts (farnese, schierke, monkey boy). Guts has a big emotional impact on other characters. We also know that the godhand are similar to magic creatures and also we know that magical creatures manifest through people believes, so it could be that the godhand can be weakend and maybe someday the humanity will know that griffith its actually not that great and it will weakend him to the point he could be killed, knowing also that its berserk we can suspect that in the end there will be a big battle so it could he humanity vs evil (apostles, monsters, godhand)

its impressive for biengs that can bend space, teleport, commands domains and dimentions to tear through armor... Also good thing in besrserk is they kicked out Korn, because there is nothing mysterious or scary about him, he should be a greater demon at best. And Tzeentch is way too overpowered so its a good idea to spit his powers. Also the idea to fight and win against omnipotent, omnipresent and immortal beings is kinda dumb but also attractive, thats why chaos gods can't ever fight - they just can't meet each other, meybe eventually Tzeentch will swallow all of them.

Can't comment on AI, but it was always "Band of the Falcon" in the original Japanese.
