I really like Silat, not only is he a brave warrior that forges his own path but he is a fun character overall. Also he is the only antagonist who fought Casca and didn't try to rape her.

[@cosmorunner23]

Yeah him and his boys are dope, really hope to see him get some nice action and not just be on the sidelines, he looks awesome and seems pretty chill, hope he doesn’t get done dirty

When Silat and his gang saved Rickert he instantly destroyed my list of favorite Berserk characters.

[@FumblsTheSniper]

One of the better “redeemed villain” characters. He never really did anything bad but he was initially presented as an antagonist. However everything he does afterwards makes it increasingly clear that his morales are very straightforward and righteous. Can’t wait to see where the character ends up.

[@camillosteuss]

In fact, we can consider him a villain, but he never really even was one... First he hunted what was considered criminals after being honorable in a tournament, and later on he merely served under the emperor of his people... To the moment when we see him being abhorred by the daka machine, we dont really have any way of labeling him but as a noble man and a skilled warrior, to a point, after that, you can kind of see that he is a protagonist, as he has no intention of even considering to provide his services to anyone but to protect his people and lead them to their own appointed end... Now that he i wont say befriended rickert, but made acquaintances, he and daiba can both be considered protagonists to a degree... Daiba too was never really an antagonist, he too has his own dream, a lot like bakiraka, and he too only served his emperor...

[@louayker4249]

What I like about Silat is that he really feels DIFFERENT compared to all other character in Berserk (good and evil ones). He feels so human even tho he has superhuman powers. I feel relieved whenever he shows up, more than when Guts does. There is something special about him.

[@juhel5531]

Guts feels like a naturally gifted human being to the point that it might as well be super powers. Guts comes off as a fighting prodigy that has innate speed, power, stamina etc. all brought out by discipline. Silat feels like a human that had to train smart and really think on his feet plus think in an unorthodox manner to compete with powerhouses like Guts. You can put yourself in his shoes imagining yourself training to be so fleet of foot and accurate you can fight on par with monsters like Guts but it's so much harder to relate to Guts because he's just so superhumanly gifted.

[@TheGuzeinbuick]

I liked how his eyes used to go all white when he was fighting, like he was entering his own "assassin mode" similar to Guts' "berserk mode" (in which Guts' eyes would also go completely white). Unfortunately as Silat became more of a hero/anti-hero his eyes stopped doing that. It would be cool if he could still tap into his dark assassin training to white out his eyes even if he was more humble and level-headed outside of battle.

[@JunkyardGod]

I'm getting comparisons between him and Vegeta. Both hold on to Honor and Heritage. Both seem to get pushed to the back.

[@edwardgaines6561]

[@hombreg1]

@@edwardgaines6561 Vegeta did always know Goku was stronger no? My dbz and gt lore is rusty, but it always seemed like he used Goku as a rival, because he wanted to make himself stronger.

Rickert needs to make Silat one of those chain-swords. And by chain swords I mean the type of sword (don't know where I saw that) where multiple smaller blades are connected by an underlying chain, but the smaller blades can be joined together in a rigid manner to form a sword, or keep the blades loose and use it as an upgraded whip

Lol you try so hard to be a weeb yet mess up the culture so bad. Sensei is not the word you want to imply respect, hes not a teacher or martial artist. You want "san" at the end of his name otherwise you just look stupid asf. A base level understanding of japanese culture outside of anime is literally all it would take to know this. Do better weeb trash. Dunno why but as a practicing martial artist who has had a sensei from japan that bothered the shit out of me. That's like calling a random chinese guy sifu (same connotations as sensei). Or just addressing random people as renown deserving teachers who aren't.

[@ANDREVILAFRANCA]

@@BigBeerus "Sensei" can be used on someone who teaches you an art. I'm an artist so I learn a lot from him as well as other mangaka. If you want proof, even in the Inoue Takehiko documentary, his assistants call him "sensei." Instead insulting people over trivial things you should educate yoursef.

[@AesirUnlimited]

The big moral dilemma that I’ve been pondering as the chapters move along is the morality of killing or stopping Griffith now. Obviously he needs to answer for his crimes, but without Griffith and Falconia the people of Midland and all the other nations are going to be vulnerable to the monsters released into the world after the world tree incident. Griffith may be the cause of these atrocities, but he’s also the only one who can bring stability and order to the new world he created. It wouldn’t be right to kill him and rob the people of Falconia a chance at peace and prosperity they never had before Griffith ruled them. But that’s the moral dilemma, Griffith is both the cause of their woes and suffering and also the one who protects them from said woes. It’s a tough decision.

A collaboration of Daiba's magic and Rickert's weapon making would be interesting to see.

Also when u mentioned how old Guts is, i always ponder if we could go old school in our story telling and have Guts and Griffith meet when Guts is way older or even as an old man. With Guts commenting that he finally meets Griffith again after all these years. Think of it like the Odyssey, it spanned 10 years while it was supposed to be a simple journey for Ulysses to get home to his wife and when they do get together, Ulysses's wife can't recognize him.

Silat v. Serpico. Who you got?

[@jasonhull2163]

I agree Silat is an underrated fighter. I think he could handle most of Hawks in a 1 vs 1 other than Griffith, Casca, and of course Guts. I put Casca lightly because she can fight but is driven more by a will to fight like a man. When Guts left the Hawks we all seen how easly Guts crushed Griffith at this point in order to leave the group. Some people think Griffith lost skill by chasing his dream and having Guts do all his dirty work or Guts just surpassed him at the time he decided to leave the Hawks. I think at that point in the series Guts was more skilled than Griffith due to fighting more and carrying the Hawks into insane combat situations. I'd like to have seen how Silat would of stacked up against the Griffith that lost to Guts. Guts seems to view Silat as more of a inconvenience than a dangerous foe.

[@Abhishekkumar-ot7vz]

He also uses Chakrams and Urumi (the flexible swords). The tapasa, Silat's guards are inspired from the word tapasya. Tapasya means austerity for god. When god gets satisfied from your austerity, you can ask for boon from god. Those guards are explained as boon from god in Berserk.
