Why Griffith Hasn’t Killed Guts Yet And How It Might Backfire

[@holicekaderliiii6787]

I don't think Griffith knew that Guts heard his conversation with the princess. Even now. It was his carelessness that caused his downfall.

[@jamesrichards2720]

No. I think guts and casca mention it while griffith is nearby in a medic wagon and hear what they said. It's what makes him take the wagon frantically away right before the eclipse happened.

[@kirablackstar6130]

I think that's why Griffith tried to kill himself. He spent all that time thinking about killing his only true friend

[@Jpizzakebab]

​@kirablackstar6130 what do you mean? During which time griffith wanted to kill guts?

[@meliasnahtony2951]

Griffith keeps Guts around as a sort of toy. You know, something to fuck around with. He's gonna find out eventually, as that is the rule of nature; fuck around and find out, but for now? He's a plaything that he amuses himself with whenever he's bored.

The final chapter of Berserk is going to be Guts and Griffith having passionate ghey sax for 247 pages.

[@Hush4Me1]

Something I noticed while watch this vid (which is amazing by the way), the one time Guts beat Griffith was when he was calm. Would be interesting to see how the story could shape Guts into that state of mind, when they eventually go head to head for the final time.

[@josephruiz8507]

True but also at that point Griffith was a war room general and no longer on the battlefield losing his prowess compared to guts who only kept getting better

[@colinmoriarty]

Foreshadowing

[@wkx3718]

The relationship between the moonlight boy and his parents is quite parallel to that Guts had to Gambino and Shisu: a child born corrupted by death with an insane mother and an unavailable, often downright hostile father. The key might in the end be the moonlight boy; whether with him the cycle of fate could be broken

[@djdoombot4612]

Facts. I immediately picked up on this when I read it

[@srthyrdyjhy]

@@djdoombot4612 Shisu was insane? As far as I remember she loved him dearly and succumbed by illness.

[@noodletribunal9793]

i think their child is vital to defeating griffith. he's the only person that can take away any control from griffith. and i think also brings griffith back to his humanity, though that only matters thematically. even now, the way griffith held casca's hand before he took her away was far more caring than what he'd done during the eclipse. even now, he keeps her held in his castle, inflicting no suffering(yet). i think the child will keep him at bay when it comes to guts and casca. i think the full moon is gonna be the strugglers' response to the eclipse.

[@djdoombot4612]

@@srthyrdyjhy you made me go back and look at the Omnibus I have. It never explicitly says that she was insane. Gambino and the other soldiers basically just treated her badly and called her insane for finding and keeping a baby among a pile of decomposing bodies and they called it “a bad omen”. Then she dies of the plague. So maybe she wasn’t… the loose connection and dynamic still applies tho.

[@primal1233]

Griffith is definitely going to regret not taking out Guts when he had the chance

[@vrokyoto]

What’s so interesting about Griffith is that once he transformed he didn’t just go blank and forget about his connections to guts or casca, it’s not like he became a figure instead of a person and I love that about his transformation

[@pl-boostcreep]

He was in love with guts before he left and now he’s part moon light child I don’t think he can kill guts !

[@ekonkante]

@@pl-boostcreep I agree. Guts will learn this and be compelled to spare Girlffith after some “come at me bro” type of exchange. I think Casca will be the one who kills Griffith, mainly because of what he did to the band of the Falcon and the SA he did to her.

[@notbrandon721]

Griffith cannot hurt Guts because of the Moonlight Child’s influence over him is increasing. That’s why he didn’t even push away Guts on Elfheim. You can also see it in how he didn’t hurt Casca physically when he abducted her. He’s going to have to do something to remove the Moonlight Child from him but I think he will fail. The boy might even usurp the throne from him because they share a body. So if Griffith is destined to become king, then by proxy, so is the Moonlight Child.

[@WeekndWarriorrr]

​@@notbrandon721I don't think the moonlight child's control is increasing though. Griffin literally says something like it will fade away with a single tear like morning dew. Now maybe he just meant him taking back control on those nights, but he also may have meant that he was able to completely overtake the moonlight child permanently. Either way I don't think the moonlight child is gaining more control. Griffin is a Godhand and the child is simply not as powerful.

[@ledam2654]

No, it was a twisted sense of possessiveness with residual brotherly feelings

[@Yokai_Yuri]

Griffith is just a sour villain who wants Guts to suffer because, in his mind, Guts abandoned him once. The fallout of that resulted in Griffith's capture by the kingdom, which caused him to be tortured and almost killed. Nevertheless, Griffith was evil from the start, and his ascension as Femto boosted that even more. Griffith's downfall will be the moonchild.

[@wv5853]

I wonder if the moon child represents who Griffith was before he started getting obsessed with a kingdom.

[@peachdaddy]

⁠​⁠@@wv5853it’s casca and guts child’s spirit trapped inside the same vessel as Griffith

[@michaelbreckler6741]

This is more a question rather than stament. So is casuality the reason guts isnt dead? Because his willpower gives him the opportunities to force casuality to bend and change a little.

[@Eliburgo]

The same reason skull knight still lives destiny or fate or chance things can’t be absolutely 100 percent destined to occur there are variables and infinite possibilities and outcomes voids ability to perceive the future is limited because his sacrifice is still only 99% that 1% being skull knight

[@bryanT4433]

Head cannon I think Griffith followed the greater will to the point he fought guts and it was always in his favor until that point. When he lost to guts the realization that he had no control over his destiny broke him.

[@Roscoepcold]

Are they ever going to finish this anime or are we going to speculate until I die lol. I love this videos you make and the narrator is A-1. Thank you for keeping me interested

[@jackmck8644]

They will finish it eventually. It's just since the original authors death that it's taking a lot more time than it used to, even with Berserk infamously taking ages to updaye

[@empese1127]

In my mind there's only one perfect ending for Berserk: Guts almost kills the godhand save for Void and Femto. He lies utterly defeated by Femto, on the brink of death, Void appears to him, points to his behelit and asks him if he will sacrifice Casca to be able to defeat Femto. Guts refuses, the Skull Knight kills Void, dies in the process and the causality spiral is ended. Absent Void, Guts and Casca (mostly her) kill Femto, He and Casca survive. The end.

[@Eliburgo]

Not happening

[@empese1127]

@@Eliburgo let me dream!

[@DJET723]

Honestly taking away all of griffith’s fanfare and powers and leaving him as broken as when he chose to sacrifice his comrades would be fitting enough for me. That and making him unable to die so that h must live in his failure the way guts has would be cathartic. Idk how this would happen and honestly it definitely won’t but anything near that and I will be content

[@kagetsuki23]

For me Zodd who will be used and lead to his death by Griffith will give Guts all his demonic energy so he can use it with his armor to take down Griffith.

[@whydidyoutubeaddthis]

[@karlmueller1980]

I think the reason why guts hasn’t died yet is that there is some role of faith that he has to play now I do think Griffith will eventually die by gut’s hand. I also think the moonlight boy will be reincarnated and end up in full control of gut’s body at some point I think he will overtake Griffith soul

[@Krazy8ts]

Griffith hasn't killed Guts because he symbolizes his only failure. Failure in the duel and with Casca. If there is any part of the Human left in the new member of the god Hand member It is his last shred or fear.

[@sirkylelennify]

I don't think it's fear, I think it's a hint of subconscious affection. Not his own, but the moonlight boy's. And I think that's the hint of humanity he'll be able to sacrifice alongside Falconia to ascend again past the godhand.

[@Apoc_Bone_Daddy]

I just fuckin want Guts to have peace True peace

[@wv5853]

The thing with Griffith is remember that scene we’re he cried? Maybe this could imply that he’s still unfulfilled inspite of having everything similar to AM hating having control over everything, what if the godhand promising you fulfillment is a lie and it basically gives everything except that. Griffith put himself in a position we’re he can never be redeemed, we’re almost everythings under his control and we’re he’ll only ever be worshipped instead of gain real relationships with people, he kind of put himself in a position we’re he’s doomed to lose his humanity, never feel fulfilled and always want more in-spite of there being know more to gain and him knowing he doesn’t deserve it. I feel like an ending focused on those themes were gut finds a happy ending and some form of fulfillment and Griffith still feels unfulfilled in-spite of literally having everything would be highly suitable.

[@rang4889]

I believe he has to wait for the next eclipse to kill them and gain more power. Griffith is probably not at full power because the 2 most important sacrifices escaped. Maybe the eclipse is the only way he can get full strength

[@johnsmoke1785]

I agree for the most part. But I have to disagree on a few points. Imho Femto r*ped Casca to test himself. He wanted to see if he would feel anything (towards Guts; the only one who could make him forget about his dream) and he didn't. This is the reason why an escape is possible and why Guts doesn't get hunt down (e.g. like Fiora). By becoming Femto, Griffith has lost all other ambitions but his dream. Going off the road to kill Guts would be admitting that he still has feeling for him. Thus he keeps ignoring him as long as he doesn't interfere into his plans for his dream.

[@coolitnow0013]

Guts is needed he is a pawn in a game of chess. A piece of a equation that's that makes it whole. His existence serves a purpose. The Godhand are ritualistic they follow a pattern. They are limited to these rules of engagement.

[@Salvicha]

I really like this channel and just a person pet peave: please stop calling Griffith the “Jesus” of the he berserk world when his traits are that of the AntiChrist. Just hurts every time I hear that sentence on the channel.

[@vendattavee1745]

He wanted Guts to suffer.

[@ytfch-ef8zf]

I think Griffith can't kill guts or casca because of the moonlight child now, it's definitely going to be a major plot device in the future as it's probably the most unique thing about femto from other godhands.

[@asdfdsf-s4u]

Why people don't notice the gravity and hidden meaning behind 2 things before sacrificing griffith told guts made him FORGET his dream and while the band's dearths passed through his transformation he stated he wants to D!E this gives proper hint about how this story will end - modified dream. After griffith will fulfill his ambition guts will fulfill his. And it's also the will of Griffith / idea of evil.

[@TexasReppin210]

i wonder if griffith will ever know that his words were the reason guts left the band of the hawks

[@damby4209]

I think he wants to show to Guts face that the sacrifices he made are worth it for "peace." In a sick, twisted way to say I told you so it was worth it.

[@psyborg89]

There’s so much head canon in these videos now it’s crazy

[@psyborg89]

Jesus Christ, Griffith didn’t “impregnate” Casca. He blew a load into an already pregnant woman. That’s not “impregnating”. He did violate the fetus and mutate it with his act but that’s not what it is…

[@vovocaduco]

lemme ask you something , now that griffith has everything in hes hands,what could present as a challange for him ? My theory is,that griffith is looking for a challenge and only guts in hes best could give it to him and thats why he didnt finish him off yet

[@Xinathor]

Considering the Dragonslayer passes right through him we don't have the right tools yet. However the reason Griffith hasn't done it yet he gains nothing for it and he's above Guts Once Griffith is struck down though the law of causality must take effect though what they maybe could be Guts becoming the one whose handicapped or the world is hindered by it

i probably alone in this, but i want griffith to be redeemed so badly. i mean he has the heart of the moonlight boy now, maybe theres a chance for the human griffith (the one that has feelings) to come back and atone for his sins. i think it would be a good message that even the most evil person can be redeemed, and pulled into the light. this manga is too dark i just want so light man

Im convinced that griffiths asencsion isnt complete simply cause casca snd guts survived being sacrificed. They were part of it and since they didnt die this makes him a wee bit weaker than he should have been thus vulnerable in some way. I slso think guts behelit might actually be used by griffith to cut the godhand off from the material world. I dnt theyll be killed by the end just rendered useless. Except void, im sure skull knight will die ending him.

[@e.e.-wi9ii]

Well, if you look at close male friendships, or close female friendships there always an undertone of homosexuality. That is unavoidable in human connections. Our western society ridicules this aspect, but it has and ever will be present. In literature you can find it of course; because literature goes beyond the surface and modern preconceptions. There are some books that tak about it, but I'm too drunk now to remember them.

[@noodletribunal9793]

griffith tried to save guts during the eclipse. the only one who made him forget his dream. and now his reincarnated body holds the child of guts and casca, who loves them dearly and is pure of heart. thematically, i feel guts is the closest thing to griffith's old humanity there is and he now holds a part of him within himself, and effectively, i think guts' child will be griffith's actual downfall. he's been able to actually just take control of griffith for an entire night multiple times. and he made him protect casca when zodd and guts were fighting. griffith isnt JUST griffith anymore. that will be his downfall

[@pugisolation]

I think the first time we see Femto in the story says why. He probably feels like Guts is so insignificant and weak that its not even worth doing anything about it. Guts is also branded, which guarantees that his soul will be taken by demon-kind eventually.
