My friend when recommending Berserk to me: Its a great series, but you might want to prepare for a lot of gore and extremely morbid scenes Me: Game of Thrones has me battle hardened for gore and morbidity. i got this. Me when reading my first chapters of Berserk: WHAT. THE. FUCK.

[@TheRedFoxization]

***** Huehuehuehuehuehue !

[@jeremiasmarzuca8181]

LMFAO XD true that

[@mr.q337]

+TheKappa Yeah, Game of Throne is child story compare to Berserk. Who said manga for kids now? :))))

[@lonemonarch4230]

+Sand Shadow Lmao those are probably comic dickriders,they have never seen something like berserk before

[@lonemonarch4230]

+Man from Shadow Does game of thrones have deformed demons that feast on humans inside a world where land is made out of million piles of agonizing human faces and a river made of crimson blood?Does game of thrones have children and women being raped, dismembered and eaten by half human half horse demons,or trolls that take away women from their husbands,rape them in their caves,remove their skin,pull out their intestines and throw them into a bowl while making soup with their remains?Does game of thrones have religeous extremists that torture non believers in a dungeon via a wheel completly full of spikes that turn around forever while mutilating the victim's scin in the process.Does game of thrones show men having their dicks cut off for having sex with their wives and shit? Lmao i could go on for days with shit faar more brutal than what i mentioned happening in berserk already,even child's play is faar too generous for game of thrones.You obviously have never read berserk if you are doubting that statement already

[@ryu-night1196]

"Who watches the English dub" *slowly raises hand* Berserk's dub is actually pretty good

[@Azoundo]

Ye, they did a pretty banger job and the bloopers show that the voice actors really enjoyed it. Just like Made in Abyss.

[@Azoundo]

Yes this is a selfless promo of made in abyss.

[@ragnar97]

At the very least the bloopers are hilarious, definitely worth a watch even if you're not a dub fan.

[@aceashaham2939]

berserk is the few exceptions where the dub is actually better

[@aceashaham2939]

and it makes more sense to because they’re in europe.

[@Ibukization]

You should read the Berserk manga, it's the original story and has cut content and events after The Eclipse. The writing is more in depth too.

[@ragnar97]

To be fair, Kentaro Miura did ask them to leave certain parts out since the anime was always intended to be kind of a long ad for the manga. If I remember right his reasoning was that in doing so, even those who picked it up because of the anime would still find a couple surprises when reading that arc and it wouldn't be just an arc they'd skip through.

[@patrickdees5256]

when I saw the analysis, all I could think was "always bet on Guts".

[@risk2193]

Guts has slain thousands.... like legit

[@aungzaw4091]

Samuel Beauchemin and the 100 men thing it was before the whole Griffith thing

[@comicking428]

Well Ris, funny you mention Guts' voice in this Death Battle, they're actually from a particular video game character, a SoulCalibur character. Remember in Nightmare's analysis how a knight named Siegfried was possessed by him and fought him? Yep, Guts' voice are slightly altered Siegfried voice clips.

[@Ris_Grestar]

Haha That's actually pretty awesome.

[@180223]

The Eng Dub of Berserk > Japanese Dub The fact that they retained the English cast for the movies and had to switch out the Japanese cast says a lot.

[@Ris_Grestar]

That's simply a matter of preference.

[@GENERALx5H4DY]

amd the fact tht mutiple ppeople from the og dub hav past away

[@MeGustaMann]

the Berserk Manga is the best of all time. Please read that

[@AChaoticNeutralSunBro]

Bump ^^^

[@aaronatkinson3050]

And has some pretty graphic stuff to I love it for that

[@Maswartz226]

Glad I'm not the only one who had trouble understanding what Nightmare was saying during the battle

[@marvelprofesionalss3169]

Yea me too

[@stevenjoel9514]

I have to say this death battle made me research a lot more about Guts, I've seen his anime and read all the manga chapters... He became my favorite giant sword/blade wielder character ever!

[@ThankSwalot]

Best part of the video: "Crap it is DC!"

[@keizhardy931]

If you want to know and see for yourself, the Berserker armor first appearence was on the last two chapters from Volume 26. The manga have 37 volumes but isn't finished yet.

[@ramirogalletti]

i am curius of HOW could they make the "berserker armour work in an rpg"? you know sinse it "does not heal" but it does not "allow you to fall" maybe somethin like the "negative hp in D&D" in D&D if you reach 0 hp you are "uncunsius"(sorry if misspelled) and you die at -10. so maybe something like "you can fight until you reach -10 hp" or something with an added "bonebreak attacks,moves just cause bleeding"

[@psymcdad8151]

I know I am late, but for D&D in special; Char gets a flat bonus of temporary HP and, once the char hits 0 or below HP, may make a fortitude safe everytime additional damage rolls in. If the char succeeds, he may keep fighting, but keeps stacking up negative HP, even beyond -10. Once the battle ends or a safe is failed, the negative HP hit full force. (better have a cleric at hand)

[@hellkaiser64]

''fanboys are gonna rage'' yeah , like the 7th or 8th time that happens in a death battle...XD

[@DNASigil95]

You can't see it in this video, but if you watch the fight, you can see the Chuck and Segata constellation. Around 5 seconds after Night Terror appears.

[@verbalengine95]

Did anybody else notice they used cinder from killer instinct as inferno

[@andrewsd.r.7180]

I did

[@GurrenPrime]

Main thing I enjoyed about this battle: now people can stop saying they're biased against anime characters. Well, they probably won't stop saying that, but now we have something we can definitively point to to stop the conversation. One thing that doesn't quite sit right with me though is that they never addressed Nightmare's soul-stealing technique.

[@turtlyduckgamer5144]

I'm pretty sure since Gut's soul has already been claimed by a demon, it can't be stolen by another until the body fades.

[@DanielForce2457]

GurrenPrime Actually, before this battle anime vs. non-anime were going 3 to 3. Whoever said Death Battle hated anime is full of crap.

[@turtlyduckgamer5144]

just read the manga and find out

[@DanielForce2457]

jeff blacklight Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Guts have to die while using the Berserker armor to become a creature similar to the Skull Knight?

[@jeffblacklight104]

DanielForce2457 i think, im not sure that skull knight is a demon, i think he is but i dont know if that berserker armor can do that to guts... i think it can

[@nemesisbloodryche22]

that moment you realize Bayonetta is more than a foot taller than Guts

[@FulanoConPsicosis]

:O

[@Swordmaster7th]

It's gotta be the heels.. right?? ;O

[@zeraazimuth4096]

This deathbattle will now go into my favorite battles ever :D

[@erikcervantes7255]

is it me or r your vids getting better by the second

[@johndecarli558]

Yesh

[@ampaiden9468]

True

[@johndecarli558]

Try to pronounce my name It say MY ASHES ARE BLACK

[@johndecarli558]

The r stands for Ramie

[@NodDisciple1]

The true Dbz fan Eeeyup.

[@codyhall2920]

You know one thing they forgot to bring up in the end discussion that doesn't change the outcome, the whole reason soul caliber even exists in the first place is because another sword had to have destroyed soul edge

[@cynthiaroundtree9305]

I love the opening theme to Berserk. the folk-type music is cool, and catchy. also, it makes me feel badass when I hear it. P.S: That bastard Griffith will get everything he deserves and then some.

[@guardganesia1773]

Nice reaction ris!

[@carolinavillalta2481]

I watch the English dub. What's wrong with watching the English dub? HUH?

[@tomandjerry5491]

good thing im correct about this battle because" i always listen to my guts" :>)

[@bobdehwaffel9053]

Guts headbutted nightmare, but nightmare has a head spike

[@raidenakajacktheripper5988]

It's because he's Guts

[@Angelo321luna]

I thought it was really well done, hyped for the next one!

[@infamousminer5820]

Hey Ris you're my favourite reactor to death battle please keep doing them :)

[@SkyTheBear]

I like how death battle makes the battle so intense that u forget the seeming loser's final form and then he wins

[@lonewolfjedi493osswfan]

This is what Death Battle needs on occasion, a good old fashioned swordfight. I for one had a feeling Guts was going to win, one reason is that Nightmare is slow and bulky while Guts has speed on his side

[@Elfkyle]

Didn't know this was out yet, Thanks.

[@Ris_Grestar]

You're quite welcome.

[@TheBlackKnight1o1]

I watched all the Berserk animes. They were awesome.

[@TheBlackKnight1o1]

+Edw franco Yeah, I really need to read it.

[@tiktaco4391]

Samuel Beauchemin Huh? There only one creator/mangaka of Berserk. Its not a team lol he does everything by himself his name is Kentaro Miura. He also draws everything by hand, no computer. Hes definitely a legend

[@theultimatekiller4468]

Dude read the manga

[@Megidramon]

Hey Ris, since you really enjoyed the anime of Berserk, you should definitely check out the manga. It's a bit hard to find it for free online, but the search is well worth the effort.

[@laytonlockhart819]

well I know it's a year after this db reaction was created but just to note you Ris they are making a new series on berserk (the post eclipse series) they have 6. episodes so far and I do recommend watching them they are really good.

[@JDMadPuffy97]

You should do a Let's watch for One Minute Melee, also did you know the Chuck Norris and Segata Sanshiro Constellation was hidden in this Death Battle

[@lucap5491]

Great video as always

[@nemesisbloodryche22]

Well Soul Edge has been broken before, so after this Nightmare would just rise again and kill Guts now that he knows about his abilities, and can counter them

[@TheTerrance1]

Nemesis Prime Ordinarily, yes...but now that Inferno is deader than dead too, the sword's not coming back

[@AzadeKL]

But it's just first fight only no rematches

[@nemesisbloodryche22]

TheTerrance1 Inferno died in Soul Calibur 2. Soul Edge survived being cleaved into pieces by Siegfried in Soul Calibur four

[@Flawless-Walrus]

Actually, main issue is that because it was cut on the astral plane as well (Soul edge/Inferno go to a place called "Astral Chaos" to regenerate itself after its destruction) the soul of the blade is gone now, so really, Nightmare and Soul edge are permanently gone.

[@nemesisbloodryche22]

Joshua Kviring no, Inferno was destroyed permanently, as of Soul Calibur 5 he is completely gone.

[@superserg4763]

***** im back from camp and ready to watch all the videos I missed

[@Ris_Grestar]

Welcome back!

[@JABRIEL251]

Did you notice the Chuck and Segata stars?

[@Xargas]

I always thought that it would be better with Lex Luthor vs Norman Osborn. I mean, they are both multi-milionaires with companies that produce super weapons, they both have their combat armor (Warsuit and Iron Patriot) and, this is the impotant part, they are both villains! Cause the thing is, heroes tend to win for the most part. They often have the odds stacked against them, and normally have a larger gallery of impressive feats.

[@p1ckmansm0del]

I find it funny that they used Segfried's voice from soul calibur 4 to voice guts. I could tell by the death cry. XD

[@leurunner4764]

First: it was Nightmare then his second form Night Terror and finally Inferno! Second: Nightmare said :"Tremble in my darkness!"

[@BlueMageLunais]

i want to see the reactions of people who never read the part of berserk of guts's exact origin. how many characters are born in THAT sort of manner?

[@bulletcat139]

Ideal Role Model for Hardcore Characters in Video Games: Guts Ideal Role Series for some of the goriest, most morbid scenes ever in fiction: Berserk Do i need to go on?

[@levitationproductions1428]

Hey Dean, so, there exists a "discussing death battle" podcast series on KZbin, and from the looks of them they're a lot of fun! Now, I am not asking you to let's watch them, I think it would be cool if you could actually be in one of the podcasts, as they do welcome guests. Also, I'm sure they would welcome you, because I think that they have seen your videos, since they have mentioned you before. I just thought it could be cool if you were there. Comment back if you might be interested.

[@joelt2612]

Levi Smith r u talking about the one by Screwattack?

[@eflicky8325]

here's a helpful hint to help with your predictions, whoever gets the beat-down in the beginning of the fight, wins the end of the fight (the K.O.)

[@DelphinSquared]

*****, maybe you will start Let's Watch 1-Minute Melee?

[@Ris_Grestar]

I don't have permission.

[@awestning4317]

***** You need permission?

[@youmeltube]

*Sad airhorns*

[@DelphinSquared]

It can't be helped then.

[@matthewford8977]

Awestning yeah you need permission to post anything not made by you on the net guess you never heard of copy right laws

[@stragathechosen8929]

who would like a battle royal among kenpachi (from bleach) , akuma (from street fighter), guts, and finally alexander anderson

[@ShinigamiSamaH]

Fan boys rage is like butter on my toast at breakfast. So please, do go on.

[@thebaconwarrior669]

I love his ending :the Fanboys will be Raging

[@ONTOE0]

So it's not that soul caliper is stronger then soul edge it's just that it was specifically designed to fight and destroy it

[@scorpionfiresome3834]

Boomstick: This is what Guts does every single day, he get's the s**t kicked out of him trying to defeat gods and demons leagues above his abilities... and still prevails." *cough cough* while showing him lose and being spared to Zodd *cough*.

[@Ris_Grestar]

Scorpion Firesome lol Everyone has a first time.

[@freddymcshreddy6586]

Hey Ris (and other people of the internet) what do you think of this idea for a death battle? Guts vs Cloud (two TRULY manly swords locking)

[@mcnaa1548]

Guts killing demons everyday, its like what he does for a living, scary right

[@nathanielgrindstaff4909]

I am thinking of writing fights for Guts and Nightmare in my mini series Brawl of Titans, which serves the same purpose as Death Battle. I'm going to have Guts fight Raiden from Metal Gear and have Nightmare fight the Witch King from Lord of the Rings. to anyone who reads this, let me know who you think would win those two fights.

[@MrJordanport]

I thought this one went how it should. I am a huge Berserk fan and know he has not lost to demons out of his league while Nightmare loses to button mashing assholes with nunchucks. I am looking forward to the next one. While Iron Man is faster and more equiped, Lex has a stronger suit made for duking it out with Kryptonians. Iron Man could barely stall Thor, let alone win. But tech vs tech should be interesting.

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

You know, at first I thought the only comparison here was that they had big swords, after watching this I realize just how perfect this match-up is. We have a demon slayer vs a demon, someone who is hounded for their soul vs someone who eats souls for breakfast....along with Shang-Tsung and Shao-Kahn. They also have unique arms, Gut's metal arm and Nightmare's claw and they can easily kill whole armies, also the fact that demons are freaking drawn to Gut's means that if these two existed in the same world, this would actually happen unlike Spiderman/Captain America vs Batman or Superman vs Goku. My only gripes about this is one, again a super powered form is quickly killed instead of a climatic battle with it and the fact that instead of Nightmare hunting Guts like he likely would be due to that brand, Guts just happens on him, a bit of an odd way to start it when you state that demons stalk him relentlessly and one of the fighters is a demon but oh well. As for the next one....eh...I understand the matchup but I would have liked Dr. Doom much better, he is more comparable than Tony because all Tony has going on is the power armor, Dr. Doom has a lot of similarities with Lex, would have made it more interesting than a power armor fight.

[@Usagi33353]

2:06 DID SOMEONE SAY [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Wind Seeker]?

[@worldwhitneyincorp]

If you think about it, guts's story is basically the song "gods gonna cut you down" by Johnny cash.

[@grimmashley8422]

They should've done Guts vs Cloud

[@failbird105]

OH BUT THEY JUST MADE HIM WIN SO THAT PEOPLE WOULDN'T THINK THEY HATE ANIME CHARACTERS WHEN THEY DO WAAH WAAAH *sad baby noises*

[@supremewolf8503]

Lol naw guts IS THE MOST METAL MOTHERFUCKER IN EXISTENCE

[@maxmillianwiegel1643]

I’ve met people who don’t like anime, like Berserk and the character of Guts specifically.

[@AJtheBlue18]

Chuck Huber The Guy That Voiced Android 17,Emperor Pilaf,and Garlic Jr. From Dragon Ball Z Is Going to Voice Iron Man in The Next Death Battle.

[@arrogantschmuck9593]

Lex's head is exposed in his suit, which I think could come into play in the next DB

[@horrorman-er4nk]

here's a messed up fact Casca Guts girlfriend was pregnant when Griffith did that to her and the baby turn into a demon

[@leonardojuan92]

Fun Fact: did you know that The demons in berserk are based on Roman Mythology.

[@ryanchatel3675]

You should watch the Berserk Outtakes. They are beyond funny.

[@enkerzan3755]

I think they sold Nightmare a little short in this fight, i'm not saying the outcome would be different but it would have been nice if the fight went a little longer against Inferno.

[@KuddlesbergTheFirst]

So you could say that Guts is Siegfried, but with far more testosterone and Nightmare is sadly rated T compared to the brutality of Gut?

[@LordHydreigon]

Are you gonna watch Iron Man vs Lex Luthor?

[@ElliFong]

I keep getting goosebump watching thus video lol

[@JamesLee-ry9dr]

love your vids you have great reactions :D

[@maxgoose707]

In the beginning nightmare said FOOL TREMBLE IN MY DARKNESS

[@felixluckystar8783]

i wanna see a fatal 4 war of all the robins in a death battlep.s ris do you know lex vs iron man is gonna be in 3D :D spooilers

[@jesusvaldez3168]

Has anyone realized that all his mentor's names begin with G

[@SkyTheBear]

Jesus Valdez I noticed! 😀😀😀😀

[@adonaiautum9351]

and Griffith

[@Brobuscus101]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that Guts should have fought Kenshiro

[@ScottyMan421]

I never knew ris grestar knew some stuff about berserk

[@toxicflame9783]

Nightmare said " Fool, tremble in my darkness"

[@dr.mobiandoom2925]

Totally should've been guts vs cloud strife because they're armor is similar

[@MizoreSh1rayuki]

***** did you think that Nightmare had to go to his 3 person form before he could've done the inferno. That just bothers me. Wouldn't he have to like. Hit the inferno. Then go Night Terror. Just my personal opinion here hope you don't mind.

[@lonemonarch4230]

The point is once guts goes full berseker armor,things turn into a one sided rape

[@TheBlackKnight1o1]

Hey Ris, have you ever heard of Guyver: The Bioboosted Armour?

[@diamond3936]

I feel like there were several induniendos during the analis

[@foxmccloud7540]

I was cheering for Nightmare, but this was a good battle. Now to find a match-up for Ness...

[@epichal4883]

Razputin Aquato, protagonist of Psychonauts. Go search him.

[@foxmccloud7540]

I know who Razputin is. I am cheering for Ness, and I know that Raz will lose, but it must happen.

[@epichal4883]

Well, Ness has the brain shock which allows him to blow an enemy's brain from inside, i think. That shit alone makes him really OP.

[@littlebicoriginal4969]

Ris greater your a good person you don't swear thank you I subbed u cuz ur nice ok!

[@zerocalvin]

i'm rooting for lex cause i know him my whole life and i only discover tony in the recent raise of marvel cinematic universe.. as far as white collar villain goes, lex is my favorite. superman told him that he could save humanity if he could look past his jealousy of the man of steel.

[@ravenfrancis1476]

Its a matter of preference, but personally I prefer English dubs because I don't have to stare at the bottom of the screen the whole episode to understand what they're saying.

[@OmegaZero141]

megaman vs astroboy needs to be a db i know how megaman can stop astroboy and then "kill" him. a lot of ppl are waiting for this db...

[@TheGreatKaio]

Nightmare Said:"Fool, Tremble In My Darkness!"

[@bobafett6828]

Nightmare didn't put his grasses on

[@soundwave5634]

Before Gut's bio even was half way done I had already had no faith in Nightmare. Considering I love Nightmare that's saying a lot coming from me.

[@paigemarshall3056]

What do you not talk about the next deathbattle

[@AJtheBlue18]

Does Anyone Know Who They Where Talking About When They Mentioned The 7 Foot Sword? I Can Only Think of William Wallace

[@rainy8702]

the mortal body was nightmare. then the mortal body went to night terror. then the body was killed and he showed his true form. the final form was called inferno not nightmare ris.

[@vick7868]

A million likes on this video? *whistle*. Impressive, +Ris Grestar.

[@CharlieFilms.]

Actually theres only a thousand

[@malcolmstreitfeld3846]

In my opinion, Iron Man should have fought Cyborg. That way, Lex Luthor could face the might of DOOOOOOOOOOOM!

[@tobiaswalker7562]

Since you seem to be a fan of anime Ris, what are your thoughts on Vampire Hunter D?

[@METALHEADNATEPSNID]

Update berserk got 2 new chapters in the Manga

[@deviantartdaylover1313]

this is my favorite and finally you seen something -O omg

[@SadBirbHours]

I watched the anime before I read the manga, its a good thing too as I would have been extremely disappointed with how much the anime missed out on

[@patrickspears7429]

Nightmare said trampled in my darkness.

[@biggreggdavid4341]

Although im a nightmare fan I agree with this ending. Mainly bec guts kills monsters every day of his life ...
