“You demons will not have his soul” is unironically one of the nicest things anyone could do for guts

[@doctorwho3708]

Honestly, yeah. Im sure Guts would feel honor that someone he didnt know respect and understand his rage would fights demons for his soul safety would give him a bit peace.

[@its_sisha_not_chair505]

​@@doctorwho3708i wonder how the story would of been if Guts found dimitri instead of Griffith... The better king

[@doctorwho3708]

@its_sisha_not_chair505 A whole lot of things would change. Since one, Guts wouldn't have met the mercenary group, so he wouldn't know them even if they go through the same events. But Guts would be enlisted as a knight for Dimitri country and assuming this happen during the war, he would have been on the Front lines as one of his best soldiers. And if this after the war, then Guts would have been joining Dimitri during the hunt against TWSITD(Those who Slither in the Dark) as assuming Hapi would have inform Dimitri of their existence and what they did. Guts wouldn't have demons chasing him at all and be a 'normal' soldier under a King who is Mad, but kind.

[@Sean-Johnson]

I can imagine Goro vs Machamp being like that if Goro won. Because of Goro’s honor and he will show respect to those he deems worthy. He’d probably give Machamp his respect for the fight he put up and respect even more that he fought, faced death and died like a warrior.

[@norrecvizharan1177]

Even cooler as a tribute if you think about how the pose mirrors his dueling moment with Griffith, even including the part about breaking his foe's weapon before stopping his swing.

[@petercap6568]

My personal headcanon is Dimitri rescues Guts' soul, basically revives him and the two go their separate ways with respect toward each other.

[@FranTheNerd]

technically there's items in fire emblem that can bring someone back as long as they have a soul, like the goddess staff. So if dimitri does indeed protect his soul, guts could come back.

[@Teachermook]

​@@FranTheNerd YES!!!!! THIS IS CANON!!!

[@TwoHeadedMeerkat]

@@FranTheNerd Though that isn't...really...an option. Fodlan doesn't have its own iteration of the Aum, Valkyrie, Bifrost staves...and the Goddess Staff has never been one of the revival staves either. Besides, even if they did, the revival staves only work on someone who's died recently, and as Claud from Genealogy of the War suggests, there are limitations to when and who can actually be revived. I'm sorry. The most Dimitri can give him is an afterlife; potentially facing off against Griffith in his stead. EDIT: Okay, technically there IS a method of reviving Guts in Fodlan...it's just...horrible? Theoretically, someone could use the Chalice of Beginnings to fuse Guts with a living volunteer, but that'd turn him into a blood-crazed Umbral Beast, and I doubt that's preferable.

[@JoshuaRWorkman]

@@TwoHeadedMeerkat While it's true that the Fodlan way of doing it is not good for anybody involved, and in Genealogy, there's limits on when and who and in most cases, it needs to be recent, but in Fire Emblem 1 and the Shadow Dragon remake on DS, Marth has a staff user canonically use the Goddess Staff to revive his sister, who had been dead for years, presumably having died the very day Altea was invaded and he was forced to flee. In-game, you can use it to bring back anybody who had died in battle, even as far back as Chapter 1 or as recently as that same chapter. If we went with how it goes in the original game, Dimitri could have someone who uses staves use the Goddess Staff to bring Guts back. It doesn't exactly mesh with Dimitri's game and continent of origin, but when you approach it from the angle of something like Death Battle or Fire Emblem Heroes which pull from everything possible and necessary, it's there in a crossover.

[@redbelladonna668]

I’m not even upset at this result. The fact that Dimitri said “You can’t have his soul” is why I’m not upset

So I've heard Dimitri spends all 20 points of durability in the animation so I'll try to count how many times he attacks with his spear or glaive or whatever Areadbhar is. Ignoring the intro and I'll presume attacks blocked with the weapon don't spend durability (ironically enough) And neither do attacks that whiff so 15:17 and similar situations are ignored. subtract 1 (15:20) Tempest Lance so subtract 5 (15:24) subtract 1 (15:44) subtract 1 (15:54) subtract 1 (16:05) Frozen Lance so subtract 4 (16:12) Frame by frame counts 6 clashes for (16:57) and my ears count about 2 more offscreen subtract 1 (17:02) subtract 1 (17:09) Atrocity so subtract 4 (17:19) So if you count the Clash Rush as one turn of attacking then the math checks out.

Dimitri's middle name is spelled "alexandre", with the e at the end, but I guess yours is close enough.

[@AshesAshes]

As has been stated previously, this matchup is top tier, the animation is fantastic and I enjoyed every second of it. But the fact that the video is sponsored by Better Help is both absolutely hysterical and yet somehow earnest and fitting?

[@blitz4779]

Probably both the most fitting and ironic add they could get for this since, well it's these 2, and by God do they need a good therapist

[@dementry.]

Bit ironic innit? They really need therapist

[@NurIslam-mn2rr]

Hi

[@thecursed_1lordofcats738]

I'd argue the therapists for these 2 would probably need a therapist after hearing even half the trauma Guts and Dimitri have been through.

[@patricksmith6680]

I think they also sponsored the Harley Quinn vs Jinx match, too

[@AustinLearned]

Whelp, obviously Guts couldn't win. The fight wasn't sprite animated or hand drawn, and we all know Guts' biggest weakness is CG animation

Dimitri just made Guts happier, I’d say he was at the bottom of the barrel, but it just kept getting worse

You guys are overthinking this, don’t you know that lances have weapon advantage over swords.

[@firenze6478]

I would have taken that explanation over claiming he hits with the force of a nuke because he beat a girl who killed a dragon and they scaled her durability to a blast she didn’t even survive because the missile that hit her scales much lower and shouldn’t factor in anyway because their greatest feats of destruction are breaking wooden barricades

[@OGFastkris]

​@@firenze6478I mean Dimitri crushed a grown man's skull with just his fingertips, through his helmet no less. That kind of power is freakishly strong, demigod level strong. I absolutely love Guts as a character (Dimitri too, Blue Lions route was my favourite 3 houses route) but Guts doesn't have that same amount of raw monstrous power that Dimitri has and I can't see Guts matching that kind of power even with Berserker armor, all Dimitri realistically needs is a clean hit with Areadbhar's atrocity to kill Guts tbh.

[@ChaolaoFueChi]

I mean, he gains his Lancefair skills and it upgrades over time with the use of the lances efficiency, and not to even mention swordbreaker, to debuffing Guts permanently each incounter Dimitri makes a turn. I'd honestly thought they were gonna give him vulnerables and a spare silver lance and sword to boot, since he knows how to use them to.

[@firenze6478]

@@OGFastkris so does guts. They both can one shot each other. Dimitri doesn’t have earthquake level durability, that was a different spell that he tanked and earthquake damages people by shaking fallen debris. Don’t get me wrong, I think dimitri still wins in the end, but crushing a man’s skull and destroying an island are far from the same thing

[@darnell1391]

I love Dimitri realizing that guts is haunted too and that he tries to protect him

[@ericdalhoff3507]

Dimitri shows respect for his fallen opponent (via Dimitri hunting down the demons chasing Guts' corpse offscreen after the fight).

[@Juria316]

Ya know, after seeing so many overpowered, world-breaking fights, it's good to see one that's fairly realistic.

[@blitz4779]

As realistic as 1 surviving a island covering sea god and the other wielding a Lance that can match nukes can get of course lol

[@kevincontreras9803]

I think a nice detail to show that guts was dead was this. 17:28 when dimitri pulls out his weapon, theres no spurt or spray of blood. Normally that would add a splatter of blood when a weapon was being pulled out but this time there wasn’t; signaling that guts had no more blood left.

[@foxshock5571]

That means he was already dead before he grabbed the sword.

[@hoppin1000]

I know nothing about Berserk, but know a lot about fire emblem 3 houses, and Dimitri is my favorite character for being unyielding and relentless towards his haunted self, so I was rooting for Dimitri. But after watching Gut’s analysis I was thinking “Oh, Guts will win this for sure 😔” but damn…. I’m glad I stuck it out. And I’m glad to see Dimitri show respect to Guts by carrying on his purpose 🫡

Not gonna lie, I was rooting for Guts going into this fight. But even after he lost, I'm immensely satisfied that the man died on his feet like a boss.
