What Will Be a Good Ending For Berserk?

[@TheHarpoonDrone]

I have a feeling Zodd has a role to play in all of this. He does not seem like he’s down with what Griffith is doing at all in recent chapters. He’s truly the only Apostle to date who has honor and isn’t a blind pawn.

[@jaffarebellion292]

The ideal ending to me is Guts defeating Griffith, but instead of killing him, he spares a defeated, broken Griffith and walks away, just as he did years ago when leaving the Band of the Hawk. Only this time, Casca goes with him, with the two settling down in Godo's cabin and Guts planting the Dragonslayer on the Hill of Swords, symbolically laying his past to rest alongside his comrades. Overall, I think we're being set up for a final arc that mirrors the latter chapters of the Golden Age, only this time, ending on a more hopeful note. The specifics are up in the air, but I do think the Golden Age is the key to figuring out how Berserk will end.

[@SubjectZero05YT]

[@noble2786]

That would be boring. I’m for a hopeful ending, but not with repeating the same story notes.

[@jaffarebellion292]

@@noble2786 I disagree. I think the parallels would line up in a very satisfying way. Golden Age showed how Griffith could be beaten, and Rickert's slap reinforced it. To beat Griffith, Guts has to be emotionally in control and at peace. It also opens up an opportunity for Casca to be the one who kills Griffith, and I really want to see that. She kinda deserves it at this point.

[@OPTSXFilosoofis]

Would only make sense if Griffith ends in a similar circumstance like he did at the end of Golden age. Very badly wounded with no chance of recovering + the Godhand cycle needs to be stopped.

[@jaffarebellion292]

@@OPTSXFilosoofis I'm in the same camp on that count. He needs to be beaten, and beaten permanently, but having Guts just off him out of rage would also undo a mountain of character development, and I just don't see it happening. If I had to put money on it, I'd venture a guess that once Guts bests him one-on-one, the Moonlight Boy has something to do with stopping Griffith for good.

From my research, it seems like the real world Kushan were responsible for the initial spread of some of the earliest Buddhist teachings preserved in scripture from the Gandharan region of Afghanistan. It lines up nicely with the whole challenge of Guts needing to oppose Griffith in a kind of impersonal way in spite of all he has done to Guts.

[@kagekun1198]

Rickert slapping Griffith was significant, but I predict that's as far as he goes. It's a story choice to indicate that Griffith can be blindsided, be vulnerable. However, the key point is that the attacker must not hold malice or ill will of the sort toward him. No, I believe that the one to deal the critical blow definitely won't be Guts, not Rickert, but Casca. Throughout the post-Eclipse, Griffith has always held a strange spot for Casca. Acting so monstrously towards her yet still treating her delicately, like a pet. The last few chapters has her acting in limbo between docile and fiercely escaping, yet Griffith underestimates her. That underestimation will be his undoing, and it would be so poetic for Casca to deal that critical blow, once and for all and send Griffith spiraling as his carefully constructed world shatters to pieces.

[@AhmedHamzic]

Having either Casca or the Moonlight Child defeat Griffith would feel the most emotionally satisfying but it’s hard to imagine one of them striking Griffith in a non-malicious effort to smack some sense into him like Rickert was probably intending to do.

It's not every full moon. The moonlight boy appears on nights of full moons when something exceptional is going to happen to his parents. Just not when they are danger. Volume 23 ch 187-188 Winters Journey 2, there is a page with Guts fighting evil spirits at night while Casca is in the background, one of the panels you see the evil spirits floating about and in the background there is a full moon. This is the night Guts gets possessed and almost chokes out Casca. I caught this detail a few years ago (or maybe a decade ago) and I believe the child shows up when something exceptional or extraordinary will take place with his parents. So on some level the child must share in Griffiths (may his name be forgotten) omniscience. Technically the time in Elfhelm is when the moonlight boy actually met his mother Casca for the first time, not Elaine. It was the child's first time getting to spend time with both parents.

After Guts and Skull knight kill all of Godhand, Guts will have to live peacefully in exile since everyone thinks he killed their savior. I think this would be a good bitter sweet perhaps just happy ending.

Gutz being the embodiment of free will is something I wrote on Quora a few years ago, as well as a resistance of humans that Griffith will ultimately crush.

[@CFCMACK]

I feel like the idea of good will somehow be born into the world. Considering Beserks stance on religion i don't think it'll be something where all believe in a good God who will save them but free will. That destiny doesn't exist you can forge your own path and fight against predeterminism.

[@YvngHomieRyan]

This is exactly what I was thinking. Beyond simply defeating Griffith, perhaps the idea of evil (a creation of humans) can effectively be destroyed or changed by humans into the idea of good. If the people collectively come to accept suffering and find meaning, the idea of evil will fade into oblivion. This would effectively break the chains of causality. I wish I could ask Kentaro Miura himself whether or not he wanted causality and the idea of evil to be something forever existing that humanity has to live with, or something that can be undone.

[@YvngHomieRyan]

I like to think that in the berserk world, the universe was effectively probabilistic and not predetermined. When the people collectively craved meaning in their cruel and random suffering, the idea of evil manifested as the casual explanation for the sequence of events resulting in suffering. With the idea of evils destruction or change, this severs the threads of fate

[@AhmedHamzic]

Doesn’t the Idea of Evil tell Griffith that it is born of humanity’s desire for a purpose to suffering or, in other words, something to struggle against? By that logic, it seems like the Idea of Good would be born of something like overcoming the desire to struggle.

[@MoonshineChaser]

Griffith is going to piss off the other God Hand members somehow, and they will begin to scheme on how to eliminate him. Guts will lose all hope and succumb to the beast of darkness, activate the behelit that he snagged from the count. The 4 OG God Hand members will approach Guts unbeknownst to Griffith. The God Hand will offer Guts the power needed to kill Griffith, but the sacrifice must be the friends Guts has gathered since the eclipse Puck, Farnese, Serpico, Isidro, Schierke, Ivalera, Azan, Manifico Roderick and most importantly Casca. (Maybe Rickert?) Guts will meet the Idea of Evil. And KILL it somehow! Maybe with the help of Skull Knight and or Zodd? And in doing so Guts will gain the ultimate power! Control over causality! Guts then will proceed to kill the God Hand very violently and lastly Griffith/Femto who'll probably try to reason with Guts to no avail, and Guts will bring the Dragon Slayer down on Femtos head splitting him in two or something really graphic like that. The last few panels will be Guts standing with the Dragon Slayer in hand drenched in blood, naked but partially veiled by shadow so it's tasteful. And with Casca safe and sound in the foreground facing him like the last panel in Frank Millers Ronin. And were left to wonder is she still terrified and disturbed by the sight of him? Finally, the very last page is just Casca's face and it's obvious she feels at peace in Guts' presence and smiles.. The End

[@nikolauriello4182]

Good ending for berserk: Griffith:Dead Guts and casca: married

[@lordgorshack3970]

Casca is gonna kill the Fullmoon child, and herself at a crucial moment. That will defeat Griffith, seperate the spirit realm from the real world, AND be super grimdark.

The ending of Berserk should be as follows Guts should die after having moved on from Griffith, seeing his mates one last time and found peace. (The first chapter of Berserk strongly alludes to Guts dying at the end) *CASCA* should be the one to kill Griffith Casca and company should survive Griffith should betray and kill the God Hand after tricking them into coming to the physical realm. He should then briefly become the supreme ruler of planet earth only to then be betrayed by the Idea of Evil and dragged to Hell stripped of his power once again and knowing that Guts has moved on from him. Griffith's death should not come at the hands of Guts for 4 reasons 1) Griffith at his core is a narcissistic Yandere and a death by Gut's hands (hand?) would be too good for him and on some level that is what he wants. 2) Griffith doesn't fear death. His 2 biggest fears are losing power and losing Guts. 3) Gut's story is not one of vengeance but rather one of healing after coming to term with the tragic events of his past. Even if Guts did get revenge it wouldn't solve anything as it wouldn't heal him or bring back the Band of the Hawk. Gut's best revenge would be to let go of his hate and live his best life (after he saves the world of course). 4) Even at Guts worst I don't think he would kill his own child.

A "good" endin is if Guts will be able to move on and lay down the berserk armor, his desire for revenge. To accept that the world is cruel but that there's also beauty in it. He knows that already but he can't accept it as misery seems to follow him. His ultimate revenge is showing Griffith that no matter how much he tries to hurt him. That no matter how much he takes away from him. That in the grand scheme of things all his ambition and corruption is meaningless compared to someone who has found his peace in the pure joy of living, the comfort of love, with all its flaws and hick ups. And I suppose this will be the downfall of Griffith/Femto. Even the most depraved like the Slug King or Zodd retain some of their humanity and honor, some part of their soul which is invulnerable even to the god hand. In all his corruption and his promises he will never be able to fully control someone as it takes compassion, mercy and love to move people, things he can only emulate not reciprocrate. As such he is doomed to fail. Guts revenge is seeing behind the facade of Femto realizing what a truly a pitiful existence Griffith has become. Someone who is not worthy of his time even if it was to crush him as there will always be another one to fill his spot.

[@aspermanuscripts]

Long comment but these are just my views: Judging by the similarities between Berserk's coming clash and the actual History of Anatolia, upcoming numerous chapters could likely showcase a seemingly successful crusade which would see great initial successes from Griffith's forces. This may seem rather lengthy and intolerable so if it happens, just enjoy the ride. Eventually though, the Kushan Empire would succeed not with annexation of Midland entirely, but with the fall of Falconia - akin to the fall of Constantinople/Istanbul. Like Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI, Griffith's death may not be confirmed for he could simply have disappeared, thinking that his absence would make him seem much more like a God. Falconia would likely be razed to the ground after the majority of his forces become confused by his vanishing. Sonia would probably fight to the very end, but given how she's somewhat like Casca, there's a slight chance that she would survive but have lost her mind. Else, Rickert could end her somehow. As for Guts, I honestly agree that he would die in the end, but he could die a Father of his and Casca's child. After the debacle of the Moonlight Boy, I do not perceive a harmonious fatherhood for Guts as he could bear suspicions of Griffith disguising as his child. Thus, in this case, I'd rather Guts be gone. Naturally, Gut's death would mean that Casca would become a single mother. Yet, unlike Guts' tragic childhood, Casca as a Mother would have others to turn to, such as members from Gut's guild, who will help her and her child live a harmonious life. Lastly, there's a chance that we get a scene of Guts in the afterlife, as his soul converses with Skull Knight. Perhaps, it'll be Skull Knight who reveals to him that Casca and his child would have a happy life together with all those he trusted. This could then lead to Skull Knight asking if he wishes to accept his fate as the new struggler after himself, which Guts would politely decline - finally defying the tragic fate made for him from birth, making it his greatest triumph.

[@snotdog24]

im not caught up in the manga so idk whats happening but personally if guts can find a way to remove is mark so that he doesn't go to hell, as well as casca and like maybe his team that were sacrificed get sent out of hell id think that would be a good ending. it fits the message of the story of never give up even if the odds are stacked against you, guts is going to hell and nothing can change that but if he kept fighting than maybe he can find a way out or something.

what if griffith switches again? guts was the last one he tried to help before turning, and he did say that he was the only one that made him forget his dream. now he has guts' son living in him, and because of that, he has already helped guts at least once. the second time the moonlight boy pulled guts away from the beast, his ethereal form was that of griffith's. he continues to protect casca as well. he's only keeping her. he's not doing anything to her. so not only was there hope for griffith to abandon his dream before, but he now also has the child of guts and casca living in him, who only loves his parents and protects them. he cried having those dreams. he felt lonely once they were over. maybe griffith can turn and help the strugglers. maybe he can do what the count did and sacrifice himself for them instead. how else are they going to deal with the rest of the godhand? and then there's "god" or whatever that heart was that griffith met with in the redacted chapter. idk i think im cookin here folks. the count showed us that becoming a demon doesnt mean you lose yourself completely. you can still do a good thing, or a thing out of love. even the fake fairy girl showed this. there can still be humanity in there, and not to mention the baby too

Imagine not knowing anything about this art piece, unaware of this stuff existence and literally getting feet wet here and wow. Havent read a page but with all this content, binged this whole playlist and wow wow! Talk about lasting!! And the commentary, as always, just perfect. Thanks!!

[@avnerzyngier1848]

I will continue to struggle until I know how the manga of struggle ends ( I'm about to transcend time itself to see the end of berserk) .

[@seefore5409]

Nothing but tragedy would fit

[@TheeOmegaa]

Berserk will never end. At least not in the traditional sense. The story will end yes but the idea of evil can’t be destroyed. With that being said I don’t 100% trust skull knight and I believe he’s using guts as a pawn to get close and destroy Griffith. As said in the story guts will have to decide to kill his greatest enemy or save casca and it will break him. I also believe Griffith will play a role in the god hand (minus void) being destroyed. Then the crimson egg will start will find its next vessel for the new incarnation.

[@chrismushy3175]

Ending = Griffith becomes human again and raises guts child named guts with casca and gut becomes the monster in the voice forever ripping up demons and mutiliwting the god hand and loving every bit of it

[@WeatherMan404]

skull knight gives guts his beherit sword and guts kills all god hand, guts and casca live happily ever after

[@RNG2266-d8b]

Guts somehow becomes a god and slays all of his enemies, defeats Griffith but spares him, Griffiths humanity returns to him and he repents for his crimes, and sacrifices himself to turn the world back to how it once was. But instead of this sacrifice turning him into a demon it does the opposite and restores himself to his prior human form and the world along with it and then they all live happily ever after in their joint kingdom where Griffith rules as a good leader and Guts and Casca go on to have a good life.

[@Undone545]

Personally, i think that an ending where guts kills griffith in combat is a failiure state metaphysically. The idea of evil remains and the cyclical nature of causality remains in place. During the skull knights flashback if is important to note that the roster of the godhand was different to the current but his personal nemesis remains. I dont think you get to slay your own personal demon somehow. If guts becomes the full hound knight i think he loses as the skull knight has lost. The role has been set for him. I think the moonlight child is the key. It is obvious that griffith did not plan on A) losing control of his body once returning to the corporeal world B) the form would take this shape. A competing idea has been born. I think if casca and guts and get together and get their son perhaps he usurps griffith control of the realm.

[@jamescarter6468]

Guts needs to die or become part of the Godhand. Bittersweet but also fitting. Kinda like Samson or Heracles. Guts was born to give the world “true” hope, a freedom from fear, mental brainwashing and uncertainty. In his death, he would expose the corruption of Griffith, rally the people against The Idea of Evil, and some other warrior 20-50 years down the line, face first in the mud after a grueling battle, is approached by an Armored being on a horse. Is it Skull Knight? Is it Guts? It wouldn’t matter, they’re here to show that the battle is far from over. You see a hand outstretched towards the young warrior and flashbacks of everything Guts and crew went through and just end. No happy ending, a fitting one.

[@locussolus9646]

I wonder if the ending that we get is the ending that Kinraro wanted or envisioned?

[@Disciple0fMetal]

I think the moonlight boy, casca and becchi will be key parts of the resolution. Guts will defeat femto with the help of zodd, but most likely will not survive. Sk will be the one to dispatch the rest of the god hand, specifically Void. Many in Guts' party will die in the process.Rickert will likely become a beloved leader or king and bring peace. No matter what happens, becchi finally activating will be the next big event in the story.

[@queertitan]

Guts would have to attempt to sacrifice Caska (probably butchered her name). The moonlight boy within Femto/Griffith wouldn’t allow that to happen. That’s how they will kill Femto… in my opinion

[@darkswords147]

Perhaps Guts will carry Griffith’s body up to the hill they fought the second time just like how Griffith carried the dead child up the hill of bodies during the eclipse.

[@christopherbadeaux3889]

It’ll never have a good ending at all, because the ending will instead be pretty dark, with evil being the only thing left on this world.

[@McM07-p4d]

0:35 Guts is fucking back and still bloodlusted

[@brolybeast613]

Man there gotta be an idea of good in this universe or idea of hope. No way it’s just evil entity’s

[@Kroban_d4c]

Im scared about what could happen to Guts, he seems in a really shitty state, feeling like he needs more power to fight Griffith, with the beast of darkness unleashed and with a Behelits on his pocket...I know that according to the old lady the behelits isnt meant for him but, she could be wrong

[@DionWhite-wx7or]

Miura did say he was gonna make it a good ending that’s a story so dark couldn’t end with a dark ending

[@chickendrawsdogs3343]

Spot-on with Raksha.

[@dylusional419]

Griffith dies and Casca and Guts finally can be happy

[@kidkante]

What if Gut's Behelit is actually for Casca and she uses it to become an apostle? Only thing is, who would she sacrifice? She will sacrifice someone she loves right? Guts? Nah. She will sacrifice the moonlight boy. Crazy huh? After that does she go evil and fight Guts? Who knows? She might actually do this to save Guts, assuming Guts gets the crap beaten out of him when they storm the final castle. Also, Casca can just straight up sacrifice Femto as is, since she always loved him anyway. Femto might be like, you can't do that but Void might be like: hey, it's causality bro. This is all assuming that sacrifices can become apostles, being that Guts and Casca are branded.

[@MoonshineChaser]

Very interesting possibility.

[@noodletribunal9793]

yea i dont think so. neat idea tho

[@DaniGerman1499]

The wolf ego of Guts confirms the behelit is for guts and that his sacrifices are his new friends. Even the demon lady tells him to use it and sacrifice all his new friends like Griffith did. But honestly would be a wild twist if it’s Cascas lol

[@kidkante]

@@noodletribunal9793 the blessed king of longing gets sacrificed to the blessed Queen of longing… lol.

[@kidkante]

@@MoonshineChaser when she finds out that the man she wanted romantically is now her SON!! Whoa boy. She might be like: hell nah you gotta go.

[@en1440]

I think that Guts will not be able to defeat Griffith or win. But he will be literally berserk with revenge and will be offered the power to win and be Godlike the way Griffith was in the eclipse by sacrificing what his closest friends and loved ones. But Guts will CHOOSE to self terminate and literally sacrifice himself rather than turn into the monster Griffith is. This will be like an UNO reverse and break the Godhands control over the human world. Then Griffith will be like, darn.

[@zippovu]

guts dies. griffith gets banished. and casca lives…but might still b cursed idk if they’ll handle that

[@ShadowStep422]

The only thing I want from the ending is for guts and casca to talk one last time without casca being insane

[@Anurag7-s3e]

It will be happy when griffith and godhand defeat or dies and guts has finnaly peace and guts didn't have band of sacrifice then casca and guts have a good life it is good ending

[@ItisJustR]

There will be so many epic fights all the god hand members and Griffith’s huge army

[@luster5497]

Guts do a “Naruto” and fight Griffith, then Casca will bring him back. -GGWP

[@DaBobbyShurmda]

I feel griffith should be defeated by a team up guts and casca and maybe rickart too, once defeated he should have his power stripped from him and return back to his frail broken body from when he was tortured, guts can then spare him and leave with casca.

[@jhercules]

Griffin becomes good again join guts to destory void and the god hand griffin was a victim of the god hand

[@kazuki4669]

I was just talking about this lmao I would like to see a double K.O...I know it sounds crazy but Guts will max out the berserk armor then die while defeating Griffith? awesome ending

[@dexmeetsdexter]

Nah Nuts and Casca will have a happy ending. Don’t care what anyone says

[@pulverize3]

The only good ending is for guts to go back in time and make sure Griffith didn't make it after the band rescued him. And they lived as a family, guts becoming leader.

[@Nachobeerman]

Zod is actually guts father

[@alessandrobaggi6129]

Could very well be true, but one of the points of the story is forging one's own path regardless of heritage and descendance. Look at how Oda ruined One Piece by revealing how Luffy's fruit was special all the time: at least half of the first half of the story has problems now because of that choice... 😕 I think Zodd will just help Guts in some way and stop at that, probably being killed by Griffith just afterwards. 🤷

[@princeindisguise]

I don't know if there can be a good ending with this story. A bitter sweet ending at best because I don't think everyone is going to have a happy ending.

Muira promised a good ending though. And his friend also said he'll keep up the promise.

Everyone dies, only good ending, be a true "divine comedy" it's the only way everyone ends and the world is restored to its natural art. Edit 1: One aspect we keep forgetting is that Griffith factors in all components when it comes to his strategy him kidnapping Casca was strategic he has a plan and his plan includes killing Casca to drive guts mad.
