I didn't know how much I needed this video, I love how Guts represent the fighting of man against destiny despite all the odds. I'm glad to enjoy a masterpiece like Berserk and your job was simply excellent, thanks!

Thank you so much, hope it helped 🙏

Good to know that Void started a KZbin channel so that commoners like us can understand the true nature of causality.

[@Pratyakshyadav_]

Causality is the law of cause and effect. It is described as a force, one which governs everything . But Guts is like a leaping fish in the river, creating a repal in river to revert the butterfly effect according to himself

Breaking up nihilism and having shift away from the cringy black pill perspective made it easy for me but the internet kind of ruined that for me lowkey.

When I first read Berserk I immediately thought of Ivan Turgenov who coined the term nihilism and wrote Fathers and Sons. There was so much Shopenhauer and even a little kurt vonnegut ( think slaughterhouse 5: so it goes as the tralfamodorian nihilistic catch phrase) that I knew the author must have been directly influenced by such works and wanted it to show throughout his own. Suffice to say I'm pleased to see essay videos like this as it shows I wasn't off the mark in my assumptions. Well done and informed video. You've earned a subscriber

My first tattoo is definitely going to be guts mid slash w the dragon slayer

[@honoredeyarak]

in fact we can not deduct from this series if guts and griffith have the same or not amor fati. we can not know which one has which tendency at least. because they are tested by different scenarios. guts refuses the fate/destiny in a world this destiny is in it's most brutal, ugly and harshest from. griffith on the other hand, accepts his dreamlike fate, until guts leaves him. they both do what suits with the conditions.

Guts will always have a place in my heart

[@Zatoichi82]

I see what you are trying to say: Life doesn't have to be meaningless (even if it might be intrinsically so), but it can be lived in your OWN meaningful WAY. But if Existentialism is the solution to Nihilism, why is the (OWN) WAY of Griffith and the demons better than Guts' (OWN) WAY? This key question is being posponed and man's existential foundation remains (morally) relativistic, and therefore objectively meaningless.

Haven't really dived in yet, but a take on Berserk that boils down to nihilism is... odd.

[@statueofwisdom]

The art itself is from the Manga, the text I added it in

[@SpeedKing..]

Guts isn't nihilist. It's stoicism. Stoicism is refusing to be a puppet against fate. Nihilism would be accepting that fate is inevitable. Great video but please change the title and name.

[@Victor_aeternus002]

Other way around, stoicism teaches concepts like "amor fati", which translates to something like "love your fate". The meaning of life according to stoicism is to live in accordance with Nature/God, as rational creatures fulfilling their fated purpose while seeking virtue and wisdom.

[@SpeedKing..]

@@Victor_aeternus002 wait rlly? What philosophy says "you can do it no matter what" you seem to know shi I really want to know that

[@Victor_aeternus002]

@@SpeedKing.. I am not really sure, the closest would either be philosophical optimism, where one expects the best possible outcomes in all situations, or nihilism where one would reject the very existence of fate itself (or atleast it's authority and control) and rely on oneself for meaning and purpose.

[@SpeedKing..]

@@Victor_aeternus002 I'm really interested in this stuff but I have no idea where to start. Imagine someone that knows stuff isn't always gonna go their way, but they also always try to make the best of the situation instead of accepting it as it is given to them. They know not everything works out for everyone but they still keep trying and refuse to accept the circumstances they are in if they do not match what they want. I would be really thankful if you told me this man.

[@Victor_aeternus002]

@@SpeedKing.. Again, I am not sure if I know a philosophy that is like that. It just sounds like free will, but that's more of a philosophical concept/term than an entire philosophy. The closest I can think of is metaphysical libertarianism or nihilism(similar to Guts' philosophy as explained in this video).

The ending of this video is really abrupt and the conclusion doesn’t say much. It feels more like a recap than an additive discussion.

Guts in definitely NOT a nihilist.
