The Ultimate Berserk Iceberg Explained

[@Byzantine-Revolt]

Something to lighten to mood when talking about Berserk, When Kentaro Miura died the thread on /a/ mourning his death was made & a user decided to post ragebait so a Janny did the only funny thing I have seen a Janny do and banned the user for an entire boat arc (8 years) which sent me into a bout of hysterics for a while.

[@localneo-graphic4647]

That's a very /a/ thing to do, because unlike Reddit fans they actually Berserk pre-boat.

[@ignacioanaya5840]

I have a stupid theory: Casca's and Guts destiny was to die in the eclipse, but both of then survive. That means the Moon Child is a product of FREE WILL, a direct enemy of destiny and the God Hand

[@Yusuf12136]

This aint stupid

[@MrMegadipper]

Yeah he’s Christ, he’s the messiah compared to Griffith’s antichrist. The Biblical theory for Berserk was the only way, Guts cannot be the one to bring peace on Earth, like David who could not build the temple, that will be for his son Solomon, the Christ archtype, The Moonlight Boy. Guts is here instead as Michael, as John the Baptist, as Joseph, as David, as the Jacob the “Struggler.” Another funny parallel is that like King Saul, the antichrist archetype, who hunted down the true King David who had the true lineage of the messiah, Guts is the same (hunted and branded) and if we follow this theory, is the father of the true king and messiah. Only thing is this may mean the moonlight boy may have to sacrifice himself or a portion of himself, as Christ died, he too may.

On Miura switching to digital to make the manga panels... I don't know where I heard this but I remember people saying saying Miura was making good progress on Berserk when he initially switched until someone showed him how to zoom in on the pages to add extra detail. This is probably just a community in-joke about how slow releases where & how detailed they were as well.

[@MonoManiaYT]

Lol yeah I read that he would edit it pixel by pixel when they made the switch to digital which if thats true it isnt suprising!

[@shawngriffith6901]

Nah, it was a legit problem as others have mentioned he would go pixel by pixel for perfect lines

[@localneo-graphic4647]

I wasn't a fan of a lot of the character designs in the digital age, but I'll be damned if his backgrounds weren't amazing.

[@borkabrak]

Yeah, but it's a good one.

[@morezombies9685]

It's sort of an artist in joke, really. I also make comics and I work traditionally like Miura (though I use different materials than a mangaka). The "addiction to the zoom tool" is a real thing that can happen to traditional artists switching to digital (and just newer artists in general). This definitely introduces a LOT of issues basically and slows your process down a lot. Doing lines pixel by pixel is not good, but also being so zoomed in you lose track of how the picture looks as a whole so things get wonky much easier. It can be an adjustment for traditional artists because we're used to not being able to zoom at all, so when we get a tool that allows us to do it we can go wild abusing it haha.

the amount of disrespect that came from those that pride themselves as true fans of berserk was insane to me. how can you find yourself to be a fan of something you truly love, when as soon as the teacher and author of a work has passed. And now trusts the work to be passed on to those he trusted and taught, now they try to give a proper and as sound of an ending as they can. you mock and put down by comparison to what came before. NO ONE will ever be Miura but why cant you have faith in those he trusted in life to not at least try and give you what he wanted. studio gaga has done great so far and I and many others of the TRUE FANDOM believe in their efforts. R.I.P a legend KENTARO MIURA, and good luck to GAGA and MIORI KOJI.

What? Some of us have been following DR. Miura's manga for 30+ yrs. We know the studio is aggressively straying from his formula.

[@shawngriffith6901]

Guts won't use the behelit to upgrade the Dragonslayer, he won't need to. Griffith is slowly losing control over the body as the moonlight boy grows more powerful. The body has also been infected with byrates from the Dragonslayer and will continuously build up madness like Ganishka. Griffith is not a physical being, he is exclusively an astral body and he possesses the body like Schierke does Guts dead eye. People make the mistake that they think Guts and Skull knight are parallel when in reality Griffith and Gaiseric are the parallel. This is pointed out to us when Charlotte tells the history of Midland. King from no where, unbeatable in battle, becomes king, goes mad, his old rival/ friend gets revenge and resets the world. Guts will be given that chance with his behelit and it will transform to become special like the egg of the king, but it's opposite. Instead of unbelievable suffering creating despair and transforming into the Godhand it will be something akin to hope (though much less cheesy) and Daemons like Flora transformed into. It's also worth mentioning that Void is an element in Japanese mythos, I'll call it Kū. The Godhand are aspects of the 5 elements, Slan fire, Conrad earth, ubik water, Void kū and Femto Air. We've seen the 4 cardinal kings but not one for the aspect of kū, that's what the moonlight boy is growing into. If there is a battle at the end he will be the deciding factor more than any other.

[@MonoManiaYT]

Thank you for the info! I agree with your moonlight boy take for sure

[@colenorris1iceman]

Hey man what are the byrates?

[@narethliansgamespace3860]

For the Behelit itself, given how possessive he is over it, I think it's Puck's, and so he'll try to use it if anyone. That will be a disaster that will either narrowly be averted, or he will be the foundation for the next Godhand, deposing the current ones and allowing Guts and Skull Knight their vengeance.

[@susietyinhabitor526]

Griffith is NOT losing control dude. What are you talking about?

[@user-jn2fe1og2b]

[@TheRoyalGuardian]

1:03:21 This is such a non-issue. This doesn’t just apply to Berserk, but rather any form of animation / drawing. Not only does it take time to create unique designs for non-important characters, but it also removes the visual attraction of the main characters. The main characters having the most unique and distinct designs is what makes a main / supporting characters. It’s pretty much an unwritten rule in character design

As far as im aware the story boarding for Berserk (1997) excluded content that would prevent it from being its own complete story, such as the skull knight. They wanted it to encapsulate that story arc and not leave the viewer wondering what happens next.

[@BudBudgie]

Thanks for making a Berserk Iceberg! Really rare!

[@MonoManiaYT]

No problem bro!

[@BLP04]

51:06 I also think it’s kinda disrespectful to Miura’s memory to not want to see Berserk finished. The man wanted Mori to finish what he started, he knows what’s gonna happen (allegedly), and is doing his best to tell that story in the most adequate way possible. It would be a disservice to Miura’s life, work, and legacy to refuse to see what he worked on his entire life til the end

[@MonoManiaYT]

10:00 Not only is there a whole collection of outtakes, but someone made an entire video with every single blooper for every episode of the 1997 running. Anywho that's how I watched the entirety of Berserk for the first time.

[@TheMattyNation]

The Dragonslayer is already upgraded. Before, it was a blade that existed in our world but had a foot in the next layer (interstice) from fighting other world forces, but since the scene where Skull Knight tried to strike Griffith at the world tree, the world of Berserk is now more in the interstice layer than before, meaning the Dragonslayer would have more power since the “window has shifted.” Just my theory.

I think you're right. I meant more so a immediate upgrade that will allow him to maybe gut Griffith

[@yungcancer3389]

[@ScottE-2]

I have one thing to point out. Tone wise it hasn't changed much from the day Guts realized Casca's all he got left to save, sure there's a tiny bit less brutality as it was in the chapters prior. They did remind us during Elfhelm with the dreamscape of Casca being that of the Eclipse and what broke her. Since then with the continuation I think more so that with the author gone and enough notes to complete the story, right now they are regaining their footing. Which is timed pretty well considering what happened. Quite an interesting dive into Berserk, a lot that I've known about but a few that were new but also freshly informative. Before even reading Berserk myself, I always had an impression that it was about a warrior struggling with humanity in some aspect with a lot of dark themes that weren't to be treaded lightly. ALSO ALSO, there is a video I am surprised you weren't aware of with this one loser who made the actual argument that "Casca liked it" as well as several people who argue unironically that Griffith not only: "did nothing wrong" but was also a victim. A victim who was, if memory serves, interacting with a higher being or something. Like this avid defender of Griffith was almost fetishistic (good luck pronouncing that word on the first try). Berserk's dark in nature but has a lot of interesting things to discuss even if right now many are torn on their sides about its direction. It is hands down the greatest story period. Almost finished watching the video. Though it does remind me just how maddening the response from the hardcore fans that they distrusted with such vitriol be the SAME MAN who directed and helped Kentaro directly with the Eclipse. The most shocking event in Berserk and what ultimately got so many invested in its story. Some stupidly think that it peaked at the Eclipse or think it should've ended then and there. But the last thing to say is that... I am surprised there are a lot more fan animations out there than what had been popularly spread out. Pretty decent video even if some pronunciations of terms are a bit different than what I'm used to.

[@yungcancer3389]

Ha peaked at the eclipse some people are just you know 😂 what a lie and should’ve ended like why would you end a story like that some people just don’t need to write stories and it shows

[@ScottE-2]

@@yungcancer3389 I am a little confused by your words, but I get the gist of it. Some people just aren't built to tell stories nor are capable of writing them. I'm just thankful someone like Shankar (of Netflix Castlevania) has not gotten their grubby hands on it.

17:09 It’s pretty obvious that most Berserk characters are White, since the series clearly takes place in a Late Medieval/ Early Modern European type setting. The series itself takes place in Europe as we’ve seen in the manga and Midland is called Midland because it’s located in the middle of the continent, so basically Poland/ East Germany area.

[@byronvalencia1462]

@@MonoManiaYT I still think it was a scam.

[@micklucas1451]

Studio Eclipse is a scam though

[@kugelblitzkrieg]

Nah screw studio eclypse, they were almost certainly scammers. Studio Taka’s closure is directly linked to their grifting.

I’m 46 and been reading beseek since the beginning and I’m not a big manga or anime guy it’s just the story behind beserk and I always thought that there have been endless godhands they don’t fight just every 216 years a new member comes 216 years after femto a new one will come and void will to the abyss his time is up and Ubik will be in charge 216 years after that Ubik goes to the void Conrad gets his chance to be the thumb and so on and so on even if guys defeats them I’m sure the last page will be 216 years in the future and some poor soul who is at his lowest point will shed blood on the egg of the king and it will start all over that’s life there in no ending evil it’s our nature

I have a worry that Puck is going to use the behelit

[@shawngriffith6901]

I don't think he can, it seems very tied to humanity. He's likely not able to activate it because he doesn't have the evils of selfishness needed to use it and they're all predestined for an individual.

puck the sixth godhand.. GUTS: PUUUUUUUCCCKKK!!!!

@@shawngriffith6901 “my becchi” it’s picks behelit that guts holds onto im telling you all now it’s pucks has always been pucks. Now hopefully you’re right and he can’t and or won’t use becchi but I have a feeling it’s going to get worse for guts before it gets better.

I'm surprised Evil Dead 2 didn't get mentioned anywhere on here. With Ash getting his hair turned white and losing his hand right before Berserk was made. People think it inspired Guts except the author said he never saw the movie. Or that the reason why the first few volumes were not drawn as well as later is because Mira was contractility working on another manga at the time and couldn't keep up the quality on both. So gila his own manga suffer.

I love how guts sword changes size over and over and sometimes it looks like his swinging a whole fucking tower.. don't change that shit

Your pronunciations of “apostle” and “behelit” are crazy lol
