Your point about Guts having people around him rn when he is at his lowest point really was interesting which i didn't notice at first. I am excited to see how this affects what he chooses to do in the future. Great video

[@13adwolf]

There's an interesting parallel I just noted- How despair is handled for Guts vs. Griffith and how the art shows the difference. When Griffith despaired (during the Eclipse), he "ascended". All the imagery was of him flying/floating. Even in the lost chapter he was with that deity and was flying "in the winds of fate". In those chapters he also looked to his goal, however perverse obtaining it was. In contrast Guts is shown sinking (common imagery for depression). as opposed to focusing on a goal he looks back at all the horror. While he has cried, I feel like he never really had a moment to think about all the insanity that surrounds him. I feel like this might be another lesson for the Guts/Audience and how "powering though for a goal" isn't the best method. That reflection is needed and it's often found in the jaws of despair. Will power is needed, friends you trust are needed, and time to think back and break cycles (maybe even the cycle of history & fate?) I might be pointing out the obvious, but I really like how they've shown it via the art style. So now, there's art of both Gut/Griffith floating in the unknown. One took the path of sacrificing the world to be reborn into a "god", and the other? maybe sacrificing the old version of yourself to be reborn into a true protector.

No matter what happens next, the one thing that I discount is the idea that Guts will use the behelit. I just don't see that working out. I feel that whatever solution he comes to, it won't require him giving in and losing humanity. But on another note, maybe he will use the behelit but just not in the conventional way, like how Skull Knight used the behelits on his sword, I'm sure there are other ways that the behelits power can be used and I think that may be what we see happen.

[@AveChristusRex789]

I agree, idk why people miss on that. It wouldn’t even make sense for Guts anyway, the behelit is merely a portal to the God Hand and he’s a sacrifice who’s been “sacrificed” for Griffith’s apostlehood. Apart from that, Guts using the behelit in other ways can make sense like you’ve mentioned

I think the entire purpose of building up the party this much and having Guts be there for them, always the pillar of unwavering strength and determination of the group was for the sole reason of having them there at this lowest point for them to pick him back up. We've always seen Guts just power through everything thrown at him through sheer will and blistering rage but that isn't there anymore, the guy is just completely broken except now he has a family that WILL NOT let him fall or succumb to the worst parts of himself, he was there for them and now they will for him because even if he doesn't believe in himself they still believe in him. They better hurry up too because this....this is fucking rough.

[@abdulalhazred3027]

Guts is so strong, a lot of people don't realize how damaged he really is. Because he is always focusing on saving Casca, it draw attention to her issues. So, Guts takes a back seat. Up until now, the crutch keeping him going has been saving Casca and getting revenge on Griffith. I can't imagine the grief of having gone through so much to save Casca, just to not be able to see her without her breaking down. Then, to finally face griffith, just to know nothing you can do will hurt him, and to watch helplessly as Casca is taken away. There has to be such a helpless loss there. Like it was all for nothing. For someone whose ego thrived on his dominance in battle, to be so helpless has to be devistating. Either this is the beginning of a long redemption ark, or Guts is about to become a monster.

Guts’ character was always a loner until he found friends but his traumatic moments have always had him being isolated, as a child, post eclipse, etc. but the key difference now is that he has an actual group of friends that genuinely care about him, he doesn’t have to be the scared child, all alone, clutching a sword for comfort in the dark or the traumatised soldier desperately trying to protect the one he loves against monstrosities or the monster that buried his pain deep inside in pursuit of revenge because he has something he never really had before, a family, and that’s how Guts will return stronger than before.

@@RandomPerson28337 Miura said he didn’t want to give a grim ending to a long grim story (berserk). Ending probably won’t be magical considering the tone of the story but I don’t think it will be a straight up bad and dark ending, I reckon Guts will find his peace one way or the other

4:02 did you hear the theory that Guts cut off a single hair off Griffith’s body and you can see a strand of it fall, showing he’s not completely immortal? Not sure I buy it but it would be a cool small detail

[@Kazuhira2249]

no god hand member is completely immortal, guts has been able to "hurt" slan too but it wasnt nearly enough to bother her, in fact she laughed and took pleasure on it, and this was while slan wasnt even in hear real body but projecting herself through a bunch of goblin entrails, the dragonslayer is capable of minor damage against the godhand due to it being cursed its minor but its something and even then the god hand isnt immortal, there were 4 different members 1000 years ago they either died somehow or became the new apostles but the latter cant be possible because void was there

I have started watching the og Berserk Anime. After reading the chapters, seeing Guts feeling like his sword let him down, I instantly linked it to the bonefire of dreams. Guts talking about, how he will endure everything, as long as he holds his sword. But he wasn’t ready with this one…

[@28stabwounds22]

@@Irenicus33 However, we know that if he goes into the berserk state again it will be over, and he will definitely lose himself because of the absolute defeat he is feeling now. I don't see authors creating an utterly bad ending to such a painful and grim story.

[@automitronic]

I have a theory i think the reason berserker armor didn't active when guts encountered griffith is because when the moonlight boy was wearing the berserker armor a couple chapters back he unintentionally neutralized the effect of the berserker armor. Or griffith took control for a couple seconds and drained it's power moonlight boy was running from guts while guts tried to take the berserker armor off the moonlight boy.

[@cursedmf4127]

Interesting

[@Kazuhira2249]

i think the armor didnt activate because guts wasnt fighting out of anger but out of desperation, he knew griffith was there just to fuck his life once again and he gave it all to protect it and even then he was powerless the beast of darkness seems to be enjoying this either way, maybe it didnt activate because it knew if guts loses everything it can take over

[@JorikD]

If I think about Griffith’s story, it’s all about being confronted with being powerless to persue his own dream, and then choosing to sacrifice others instead of yourself. If I would have to guess, guts will be in a similar position (powerless) and he will have to make a similar choice. But then again, it’s really smart Miura put ‘fate’ into the mix, because fate takes away any choice, so maybe there won’t even be a choice for him and he will have to fight for someone else so they will have a choice (like skullknight). It’s so smart how he constructed the entire story so we never truly know what will happen. But I guess it’ll all end with a choice, a sacrifice, fate, love over hate, selflessness or selfishness, etc. I am so excited!

Damn The Beast of Darkness really did shut out Shierke from Guts's mind.( When it shut its fangs really hard) I think this means BofD is getting more control over Guts and also more powerful. The next time Guts will use The Berserker Armour would be very bad for everyone else. I think Shierke will have a really hard time entering Guts mind maybe she can't enter it anymore when he's using the armour.

[@CrimeFighterFrog]

It's wild that after all that Guts has been through THIS is the lowest point he's ever been :(

[@nyalan8385]

I think that this is the start of the final phase of the story. Guts has learned just about every lesson there is to learn about hardship, and now he's ready for the final one, even the strongest of men fail and have to stand on their friends and families legs from time to time. I think his friends are going to help him through this, and then has a story-driven reward Guts will find some way to restore his faith in his sword, and will get Casca back. I don't think Griffith will be defeated, at least not out right, but I definitely think Guts will get Casca back. I don't see Casca escaping fate and surviving the eclipse, just like Guts did, and overcoming just as much struggle and turmoil as Guts (more mentally than physically), all for her to ultimately end up in the hands of Griffith. Maybe getting Casca back will involve Casca stepping up and overcoming her situation along side guts with the help of their friends. I can even see this being the final "battle" against Griffith, and I don't see Griffith being physically defeated. Instead I can see, after getting Casca back, Guts and his friends just leaving Griffith, paralleling how Guts left Griffith originally, which I could see, in a way, defeating Griffith finally.

[@Jarl_egbert]

I've always held the belief that Griffith would create his own downfall, somehow. I can see Guts encountering him in a weakened state, having the ability to kill him. But deciding to just walk away, like he did before.

[@nyalan8385]

@@Jarl_egbert I think one major possibility is that at the end Griffith loses the powers of the behelit, at the end the behelit betrays him just like Griffith did to his friends and family. I think this would be a more fitting end to him, rather than Guts taking his revenge, he instead learns to let go and move on, choosing Casca and his friends instead, and in turn Griffith eventually meets the consequences of his own actions. I think this would be more in line with what each character is supposed to represent too. Guts sacrifices everything he has for those around him, and in the end they turn out to be the thing that saves him in the end, while Griffith sacrificed those around him for everything he wanted, and in the end he kind of falls over himself because there's nothing there to support him

[@bruis1527]

I’ve been enjoying every chapter after Miuras passing so far a lot more than I thought I would, but something felt off about this one. Like the emotion of numbness is strong and guts’ depression is conveyed really well, but upon reread it feels like this is the only chapter in all of berserk where in the chapter itself, nothing happens. The plot isn’t really pushed further, and quite literally no events happen. I can’t tell if I really like that because it helps to portray the emotion or if I dislike it.

[@dreaming5404]

Theory: Griffith has been trying to bring Guts to a rock bottom low so that guts can become a god hand and be his equal.

[@Kazuhira2249]

it could be, also the reason he didnt kill casca, we know griffith doesnt care about casca at all and he could be betting on guts sacrificing her in order to become an apostle idk if he will become a godhand since the behelit he has isnt red, but the fact that he has a behelit in the first place isnt good, but that behelit could be for anyone maybe even casca who knows and griffith is betting on her sacrificing guts but personally i think this whole thing was purely out of spite

[@homeinvasion8615]

skullknight needs to show up and get guts to stand back the fuck up and give him some words also seeing the beast of darkness's teeth crush Griffith and get bloody.. wonder if that will mean anything for future chapters also also; i hope to see casca tell Griffith off, casca should confront him and tell him off
