I understand this comment was made a year ago, but I just wanted to tell you; Screw you good sir. I just spent nearly 4 minutes of my life trying to wipe off what I thought was a hair on my screen, then proceeded to panic thinking I'd scratched it when it wouldn't come off, then I scrolled down and realized that your emblem is a line. God Dammit sir. Much Troll, Very omg.
Berserk has deep, rich, and poetic philosophies and character motivations/ambitions. Really, really good dialog and details to plot and characterization.
I got my friend into berserk and I told him about gore and all that but told him in the manga it’s not about that Like that’s not the main point of berserk like yeah they got some fucked up shit and a lot of death and sorrow but the main point was struggle and humanity A human can only go so far yet desire so much and the struggle to find yourself and care for other and achieve dreams is limited but also endless It’s about how guys as a man loves in his own world filled by hate and sadness He struggles not because he has to but because he’s human and doesn’t want to die He fights his battles within a real battle or himself We seen guys change three times (kinda 4) in the whole manga From the correct order as a kid he feared and stayed quite and abused lead to him being older only knowing killing and caring for himself and surviving to growing older and loving people and making friends To having everything ruined and losing himself to anger and the sadness inside him as he ages and find a new purpose (casca his lover) to suppress his anger and rage into a more mature guts He went from a kid to a killer to a human being into a monster and now a more calm storm within He has experienced so many horrifying stuff in his life he can’t help but struggle and try to find peace in himself Guys has done some bad stuff but that Doesn’t make him evil and he’s done some good but doesn’t mean he’s good Murcia made this manga about life and death and the struggles of one who can only see his way Berserk has so many important stuff to build character that there’s no way it’s not more than just gorefest and the darkness of humanity Guys changing and the people that surrounded him link to this People find their dreams and try to reach them other godly beings being so powerful to the point that they are gods Religions and everything Demons and angels Good from evil they never really point a finger at who’s evil let’s take guts (messed up past all friends killed and girl raped by his best friend) he uses children as bait and killed people who got in his way from an outside perspective he’s evil But from guts view he’s trying to achieve revenge and in order to do that he needs to do what he has to do even if it means leaving a village to burn and rot Guts gave up on his goal and found a new one he reached it but along the way he also ruined lives of others It doesn’t matter where he’ll end up because he struggles the entire way he’s been fighting fate his whole life and in the very end guts will end up in hell Guts needs to find his peace and enjoyment and once he does I believe guts will die happy while he fades into nothing once he does die in hell and enter that eternal void of consciousness to become nothing but a memory We all know guys is going to die if we see it or not but he’s still going along the way for what idk Muir’s has to surprise us again Also sorry for rant might delete idk I was just talking about berserk and stuff I didn’t explain everything because too much to cover this is just some stuff and theories I cane up with and some stuff from the manga and how’s it’s been going You got Griffith The inner beats of guts Skullknight Magic/faith Gods/godhand Destiny/fate Evil vs good All those to take references and more than just *guts and blood*
I like to imagine that this is a reflection Miura made about his life and his craft as a mangaka. He had a very refined artstyle, crosshatching is no joke and he was truly a master of his craft. The legacy he leaves behind is tremendous. RIP master of masters
@@BakaBaka8146 that's just an urban myth the reason was that he decided to develop Berserk through new methods he basically had to relearn how he illustrated from scratch and because he could be more meticulous through this, he kept missing deadlines due to him being unsatisfied with what he had, hence why new chapters would take entire seasons instead of three weeks like it is now
I like to think the relationship between Miura and his readers is the same as Guts and Goto. Miura like Goto, chose this life because it was the only thing he knew how. And like Guts we continue to ever so struggle in life.
I kinda had this Talk with my roomate.When you don't know where your going in life and sit down to enjoy it's mere simple pleasures(sparks) time will pass you by, and several years down the line he will be asking himself what he is doing.There is a comfort AND a danger in dwelling in repeatative unimportant tasks.I after asked myself, do i work to live ?? or live to work? do i like what i do? will i work till I die? is there a better way? or are we still fundamentally slaves to the system?
0816 M3RC I found that trying new things, or even just working out, makes me feel whole and going in a way... I think your right, the key is to keep struggling
''I didn't choose this, this is who i am.'' In a weird way these words have captivated me. It is as the opening narrator says: ''at least it is true that men have no control, even over his own will.'' I feel the same vague sense of impotence. And Goto is one of few to acknowledge this.
Why the fuck didn't they keep making this! They stopped right after the eclipse.. This deserves a few hundred episodes like DBZ or Bleach. When the manga is finished, they'd better animate the whole thing! It is well deserved.
+God “God of the saiyans” Vegeta Yeah it was good but the ending was not there. To me it was watching 25 episodes to get to the point where things are getting interesting and then it just ends mid-scene and all is over. That was seriously disappointing and i would be glad if they made some new episodes. Hell, i would be happy if they just showed me how Guts escaped?
Out of all the intensity, madness, and passion in this series, this particular moment was my favorite. Godot is just like Guts, a man who cannot tell if his trade called to him or he grew into it, but took it and lived. Those fatherly moments where he would shelter Guts and fix his sword, the respect that Guts showed him, all incredibly moving. This whole series has been a modern Conan with a passion unseen since Howard put ink to paper. Thank you for the story, Miura-san.
Reminds me of Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus. Goto understands that his life has been predetermined, and ultimately wasted, but he holds onto that small amount of pleasure he finds in his job. Sparks are the perfect metaphor here, brief glimpses of light in the dark.
Eh.. not trying to be smartass but Myth of Sisyphus isn't about predestination that is Calvinism. Myth of Sisyphus talk's about eternal struggle of people for nothing, we work, we shed our blood, tears, hurt each other for final moment where it all disappears, death. It explores absurd. Everything is pointless when we are going to die anyway.
True. I think I was quite drunk when I made my original post, but a lot of what you said was what I was trying to get across. I just fucking love berserk lol. Also Leon is an awesome movie
@@adamgreen1484 And this is definitely not nihilistic as you present it. It's the sparks, it's not the sword making he likes - it's the process. It's not the job we remember, but the moments, that sweet smile when you fix a computer for a lady/work as a cashier, that sweet moment when the cherries bloom in the spring of that tree you planted. That's life
@@kestutisvaiciunas8663 So Godo has not truly wasted himself he still find a sense of beauty even though he still carries a sense of resentment. That is sweet enough for him to keep going so it is not completely nihilistic that’s what makes the scene even better
Goto and guts are very similar, so similar that they led the same life under different context. Guts on battlefield, Goto with blacksmithing. The were born into something that is not what they do but a way of life, that is who they are. Guts with his sword and Goto with his flame, seeing life born and ended in sparks. Guts may not have a happy ending but he will live and die by the very sparks he makes, through those sparks he understands life. Another way to look at is Guts lives by those sparks, that is his life. Other use those sparks to create a flame that is there dreams.
Baka nah guts will because miura even said it himself that he wants guts to have a happy ending for himself so it's very likely that guts will be happy
Guts Will have a happy ending, whats Wrong with people like u that always want a bad ending for the protagonist, in special with guts, when he has suffer a lot during the story, give this man a break for god sake
@@rax2162 I knowingly state upfront, that I am ignorant of enough source material that I have no right to claim knowledge about "Berserk", but the theme I am fairly familiar with, and In my humble opinion, the older you get, the more "life" you see... you see there are no happy "endings"... there are sparks, and decay. They may be "preferred" ways for the sparks to die out... but die out they do, and you, the person, never really "get" the "ending" in life... just one day, happens to be your last. It's very akin to the idea that, it's not the destination, it's the journey. And in life, again in my humble opinion, there are no destinations. So to have a "happily ever ending" to a story that conveys *reality* feels off, feels well "fantastical" because no one ever gets it. I don't think the fans want guts to have bad ending or a tough time... but a *real* and good spark to fade off on, which given his style of sparks... might not be what a "normal" person would see as a "good ending".
This point in Berserk is an amazing point of peace between the biggest tragedy in the series, then to the most drastic shift. This energy, or vibe it speaks to me personally.
Guts: My destiny My dream Does this sword embody my dream? Is this reality? It has always been at my side Through pain I could hardly endure Yes, this is part of me Whenever I met death, my sword was with me as I moved past it For all the places that I have seen, and people I can never forget, I felt everything through the tip of my sword. This sword is the proof that I ever lived. Guts: Godo, how did you decide to become a blacksmith? Godo: Family trade. Guts: Do you like it? Godo: I don’t know. Guts: You don’t know? Godo: I’ve been gripping this thing since before I could even walk. I didn’t choose this; this is who I am. I just strike it, I don’t think. I spent my youth desperate to forge a better sword, become a more skilled smith. Before I knew it, I was old. I don’t even know what the HELL I strike the iron for… But there is still one thing I like about it: the Sparks. I like seeing sparks; breathtaking. Life. Bursting before my eyes for just a moment… my life. Guts: Sparks. The light borne in the clash when two swords meet. They serve me as well. Throughout my life, the moments and people that have defined me, they have all been illuminated by sparks.
I do think there's wisdom in a slightly comedic/sweet moment, but I see it more as Erika following her predetermined path. When we're kids, we think of the adult world as this fantastic and exciting future. But most people get bogged down in their trade, career, or job as the mundanity sets in. Her naivete is dramatic irony not only to the viewer, but also to Guts and Goto. But there is a simple truth there: do what you love, and you don't work a day in your life.
This saddens me because throughout this whole time when Guts was with Godo training and meditating it seemed like Guts would finally find purpose in life. But then Griffith threw him into the spiral of death and destruction once again and all the progress was lost, Guts became fixated on revenge and then on trying to cure Casca.
@@DrCooch Raziel:" And then I beheld a mortal unlike any I had ever seen before. In this... Guts I saw a reflection of Kain, a man desperate to escape his terrible fate. I wondered if I could aid him."
If you think about it, hes still doing what he decided here Fighting for his own reasons (not because someone told him to do or force him to do) Yes, taking revenge isnt good and either is the constant fighting, but he accepted that as his life and now he stopped(at least momentarily) seeking revenge and fights because he wants to protect Casca(its something that he wants, not forced unto him)
This scene is a beautiful critique on the modern day "cult" of following your passion and making it your business. Most characters is Berserk are sailors on a ship whose path they don't know, but they find their moments of peace and joy, along with pain and grief times manifold. But they still hang tight, accept their fate yet still fight for a better future. It s a philosophy that will help us well. A lot of what happens in our life is completely out of our control. Our place of birth, our socioeconomic status, the friends and lovers(and enemies) we meet, our profession, how we die etc. There'll be lots of pain and moments of joy in between that might make it worth it. What we can control though, we must. Your life is like a train station- you'll miss some trains and that's ok. There are others you can catch.
If you follow your passion and make it your business there would be a lot of trash content such as in reality, this scene is the opposite it is do what you have to and what is needed, anyone working from childhood knows this, spoiled westerns have no idea what life is about, is about survival, the rest are most about colors prisoners put on it.
Whenever I think about the relationship between Guts and Godo I think about how Godo was in a sense Gut's true father. Even though they weren't related by blood he always had an open door, an open ear and the best advice he could muster for Guts and in return Guts always took his words to heart. Taking care of Casca, taking in Rickert, he lent a lot of help to Guts and all he wanted for him was to see the young man find his direction. He was a good guy and this was a powerful and poetic scene, one of Berserk's moist poignant "speeches" and that's saying a lot. Between that and Gut's inner monologues here it really shows off Miura's strength as a writer as well as an artist. Man, do I miss him.
If Guts was adopted by Godo after the incident with Gambino, he would have a much better mental and psychological stability than he had in the original story!
What I saw: "Lol he sucks at cutting logs falling from the sky" What an actual fan of the show saw: "The failing to cut all of the logs represents Guts's inability to finding his purpose in this world, as not all of his problems can be solved by swinging his sword around, even if that is all he knows. He cannot proceed further in life until he finds another path in life.
Me as one in training: He's going to have to improve his reaction/timing or figure out his own way to take out so many targets at once. You may have slain 100 men in a single night, but how will you slay 100 men in single moment?
The logs can symbolize each new route Guts chooses. At the beginning it’s all fine then all of a sudden everything comes crashing down at once to overwhelm Guts in some way or another
What I really like about scenes like this in Berserk is that they show why Guts is so good at fighting with his sword, sheer effort and constant practice, some other series like to simplify the protag being good at anything down to plot armor instead Miura choose to make Guts more human
I love this scene. We all know, (or maybe ARE) someone who is in a job they just feel is drudgery personified, and find it difficult to find the will to keep on the daily grind, so it's kind of inspiring when he says "there's one thing I like, it's the sparks." Just being able to find one thing he enjoys helped him go on all those years. Not that it made it all worth it entirely, but it shows that no matter how aweful a job is, there's always SOMETHING you can hold on to and enjoy about it.
I've worked quite a few years serving at restaurants. It's a tough and thankless job, with lots of physical and mental stress. But even on the shittiest day, the genuine smile of the customers when you bring them their food and wish them a happy meal...it does warm my heart and can keep me going for a long time.
When I first saw this scene I felt fear. A fear that I’ve never felt before a fear that chilled me to my bones. Godo the blacksmith has forever known the hammer. Before he could walk he struck when he was a child he struck when he was a teenager he struck when he was a man he struck. All he has known is the forge it has been so long with him it has become him. He’s life has centered around the forge. He’s environment he’s family he’s self has all been focused on the forge. He knows nothing else but the forge. No other ambitions or goals but the forge. It was the most natural thing to him. Now he is a old man living alone with he’s daughter. Still he is striking. When he reflects back on why he is still striking he doesn’t know but what he does know is that he still finds a beauty in it. The sparks. The sparks are a resemblance of life. That beauty is enough to keep him going even if it is just enough. That lifelong commitment to one single thing is scary it scares me because it’s a one way ticket. Would I be fulfilled to commit myself lifelong to one craft before I knew anything else? Will I be better off with another craft? Would it still be possible for me to find a passion I seek even when I an old man? Is this craft (or purpose) enough for me? What if that answer is no? Then what? Have I lived my life doing something that I was truly not invested in? Doesn’t it really matter at that point? If I doing something for so long do I eventually grow to find an enjoyment in it? The uncertainty and potential dread wondering if you have limited your own potential. I think is worse than death. That dread is something I try to avoid entirely but the opposite dilemma can also occur too. Being so versatile that you don’t really know what you want to truly do. Life seems so simple yet complicated at the same time we just wish to find a sense of peace in it. Maybe the key is balance.
When one stares into the blade of a sword ones true self is reflected back for what is a swordsman but the will of his blade made flesh Quote of me outlaw samurai
Guts really does represent all of us that feeling of searching for a purpose. I owe a lot to miura bezerk has become my bible. I owe miura my life I wanted to die and than I stumbled across this story I read it and I realised I was wrong for giving up on myself and for not having a dream. I can’t thank miura enough so instead I’ll never give up on myself and I will do my best to bring joy to those around me. RIP I will not forget ur what you taught me.
I I I’m seriously at a lose for words with this comment, it’s excellently put it really is lovely person, and it’s definitely words to live by, we should all try to be better, and get along because we are all family even if it isn’t by blood we all inhabit this earth. Okay I’m not religious really since i want to believe in my own will, but it’s truly a religious enlightenment that it helped you so much hell even divide intervention.
You should know this: if there is any human being capable of killing the godhand that would be Guts. Hes been swinging that sword ever since he was a child. He literaly never did anything else until he got Caska. Miura wanted you to know that Guts deserved a happy ending.
Guts: Sparks. The light borne in the clash when two swords meet. They serve me as well. Throughout my life, the moments and people that have defined me, they have all been illuminated by sparks.
godos speech (in my opinion) was about how even though he didn't find fulfillment or purpose in his life still enjoyed the sparks as in it was his life he saw in those sparks those fleeting moments of brief short light and he loved it. not necessarily blacksmithing in general and guts can relate very similarly because he's been in countless wars and fights and triumphs and losses yet he never enjoyed it, or truly felt defeated, he loved to swing his sword and that was it, except for guts it's different because he still has a chance to seek more then what he'd been doing up till then so godo's words drives him to go out and actually fucking do something about casca and griffith, even if guts was never destined for greatness or in the flow of causality (not yet) he still chooses to go on and that's why guts is the best fucking anime character and i say that as a fact GUTS WILL ALWAYS STRUGGLE NO MATTER WHAT
You got it right straight at the begining Its all about giving your own life meaning and purpose I will use real life here: Most people in this world reach adulthood and start working and the only thing they do with the money they earn is buy basic things like food, house and trivial things but they dont think about the reasons why they work and what they want about their life thats why most people are like the Band of the Hawk th-cam.com/video/LLXQcMEtoEw/w-d-xo.html People like Guts try to find meaning and purpose for everything they do, thats why when Guts comes back he knows that he will only fight for himself "I've made up my mind. I'll never entrust my sword to another again. I'll never hang from someone else's dream. From now on... every battle will be my own." Which is kind of sad because he now fights because of Griffith
Took the words out of my mouth. I love coming back to this video every year or so when I'm feeling nostalgic for the greatest anime of all time. (just my opinion)
Goto's speech kinda reminds of people just going through the motions their entire lives life with no real puprose doing the same empty activities day after day, with the promotion at work being their only objective, ultimately they don't even know what they're supposed to do or who they're supposed to be and before they know it they're old.
Damn hearing this actually scares me because it makes me think I’m wasting away even if I’m enjoying myself, but i just really wanna have died achieving something big, and fulfilling dreams.
To think a piece of history like this has touched so many people, perhaps it's discontinuation is what gave it that magical feeling, i wish I wasn't so selfish and could be content with what we have but can't help but yearn for more
This scene reminds me of writer Charles Bukowski. He had a really shitty and poor life and mostly viewed life through a pessimistic lens (however there's a bit of optimism and grittiness in his work). He had many reasons to quit or kill himself. But he kept on living and writing, because writing was all he knew, it was a way of expressing himself, and he was good at it. He wasn't really writing for any reason or for anybody, he did it because it was his nature.
Yeah that would definitely be interesting to see play out dude, though i want to be in the timeline where Mirua, finished Berserk, and finally started living his life since he would have achieved his dream of ending his journey, then dying happy.
everything about this is legit on point to everyone alive . even when they question where they belong . in a warehouse, in an office, in a chair gaming. they have place even when they try to fight life it will always put you where she thinks you belong, just remember " WHERE SHE THINKS YOU BELONG"
The strong always searches oneself and their place in this world - it;s that part of Gut's character that makes him the strongest of all, bending and defeating causality, because he searches for a deeper meaning and self within his existence. Great video, thank you for sharing
This is just a beautiful comment I guess that’s why my OC, is so strong it isn’t because of her powers, her immortality, her smarts, no it’s none of that it’s because she looked into herself from her bare breast, and probably cried, and chucked about her predicament, so she used that for fuel to try, and do as much for people, along with all of existence, since it’s bigger than her, which she takes on the challenge head on.
It seems to me like a lot of people like Berserk because they like seeing a man with an unpractically large sword killing demons and other things. Not me. If that was all there was to it, I would have zero interest in Berserk. I enjoy the story the most.
Evil Ryu i think that's exactly why people love berserk and then some! if what you said at first is mostly true, the new berserk animes would still be liked more convincingly, what makes berserk the original anime and the mangas so good is it's setting, it's art and atmosphere, the personalities, plot, and the brutal and raw fightings...
I like it because it's aimed at those of us going through life changes post-high school through to whenever. I enjoyed the dark fantasy elements in the anime. The manga has it going for three arcs, then it changes again. I appreciate the author making Guts experience harsh realities to then change as a human being. He is learning to enjoy having company and a lover in his life. Whether he revisits his revenge plot is unknown. The manga definitely needed a break from the hack and slash to get its mojo back.
People love Berserk due to its characters, story, philosophical interests, etc. If as many people watched it or read it for just the demon combat, it would just be simplistic like Attack on Titan, which I can not stand that show and it would more than likely be more main stream in popularity.
Godo's speech about the sparks reminds me of the opening scene from Conan the Barbarian where Conan learns about the Riddle of Steel from his father and his god Crom.
Berserk is the greatest manga ever with no stories, that alone is haunting and adds to the mystique of refinement of this story, it so well done, and so perfect in it’s manga form that a part of me wonders how you would close such an engaging story?
Man I remember being kicked out of high school and reading Berserk in early college. I didn’t even care about that frustration of leaving because Berserk helped me cope so much. Made me think about my place in the world and my life’s purpose. This manga…it made me learn so much more than school.
Same, I found it when a large group of my friends dropped me for reasons I still don't fully know. I was so depressed but berserk kept me in a stable place. It really is a masterpiece that's underappreciated
There's plenty of english dubs to hate on outside of this one... If you just hate dubbed anime then that's fine. I only know English and can understand it. I thought it was easy to follow and the actors (especially Griffith's) had real talent.
it also fits since these characters aren't japanese. I tried watching it with japanese dubbing and i couldn't get into it, felt odd. just like watching naruto in english, it just didn't fit right.
It's a very Zen Buddhist approach when he says "I just strike the iron, i don't think." So many people live in the past or future and they forget to actually live in the present moment. Life, love, and meaning can only be fully appreciated in the moment, which is as brilliant and as fleeting as a spark.
"Berserk is just a power fantasy about a dude swinging a big sword!" Meanwhile: Guts: "WHY do I swing by my big sword? I must dedicate multiple chapters delivering soliloquies while holding my big sword. Why am I so deep and well spoken when holding my big sword? My big sword...it sparks big words from me...yes...my big sword..." Godot, Griffith, Casca, Judeau and Skeleton Knight: 🤨🤨🤨
This is where you get that Guts, though he's a super tough warrior dude, still contemplates as a young man would. The sparks quote by the boomer black smith is "super profound, blows my mind, far out man... it's kind of like my sword and whatever, like when two swords clash and shit, bro. Far out." It's just Nietzsche, living life in the moment. Guts was just exploring as he needed to as a young man, before deciding to settle down.
I dont no if i like being a blacksmith,ive been gripping this thing since before i could even walk,i didn't chose this, this is who i am , i just strike it i dont think, i spent my youth desperate to forge a better sword and become a better smith before i new it i was old...i dont even no what the hell i strike the iron for, but there is still one thing i like about it...THE SPARKS ...i like seeing sparks, breathtaking...life....bursting before my eyes for just a moment..My LIFEE

This phrase never make a sense until now.
Berserk has deep, rich, and poetic philosophies and character motivations/ambitions. Really, really good dialog and details to plot and characterization.
Yet all people is see it as is a gorefest.
Agree
Ravenex2 True that
I got my friend into berserk and I told him about gore and all that but told him in the manga it’s not about that
Like that’s not the main point of berserk like yeah they got some fucked up shit and a lot of death and sorrow but the main point was struggle and humanity
A human can only go so far yet desire so much and the struggle to find yourself and care for other and achieve dreams is limited but also endless
It’s about how guys as a man loves in his own world filled by hate and sadness
He struggles not because he has to but because he’s human and doesn’t want to die
He fights his battles within a real battle or himself
We seen guys change three times (kinda 4) in the whole manga
From the correct order as a kid he feared and stayed quite and abused lead to him being older only knowing killing and caring for himself and surviving to growing older and loving people and making friends
To having everything ruined and losing himself to anger and the sadness inside him as he ages and find a new purpose (casca his lover) to suppress his anger and rage into a more mature guts
He went from a kid to a killer to a human being into a monster and now a more calm storm within
He has experienced so many horrifying stuff in his life he can’t help but struggle and try to find peace in himself
Guys has done some bad stuff but that Doesn’t make him evil and he’s done some good but doesn’t mean he’s good
Murcia made this manga about life and death and the struggles of one who can only see his way
Berserk has so many important stuff to build character that there’s no way it’s not more than just gorefest and the darkness of humanity
Guys changing and the people that surrounded him link to this
People find their dreams and try to reach them other godly beings being so powerful to the point that they are gods
Religions and everything
Demons and angels
Good from evil they never really point a finger at who’s evil let’s take guts (messed up past all friends killed and girl raped by his best friend) he uses children as bait and killed people who got in his way from an outside perspective he’s evil
But from guts view he’s trying to achieve revenge and in order to do that he needs to do what he has to do even if it means leaving a village to burn and rot
Guts gave up on his goal and found a new one he reached it but along the way he also ruined lives of others
It doesn’t matter where he’ll end up because he struggles the entire way he’s been fighting fate his whole life and in the very end guts will end up in hell
Guts needs to find his peace and enjoyment and once he does I believe guts will die happy while he fades into nothing once he does die in hell and enter that eternal void of consciousness to become nothing but a memory
We all know guys is going to die if we see it or not but he’s still going along the way for what idk Muir’s has to surprise us again
Also sorry for rant might delete idk I was just talking about berserk and stuff
I didn’t explain everything because too much to cover this is just some stuff and theories I cane up with and some stuff from the manga and how’s it’s been going
You got Griffith

the reason was that he decided to develop Berserk through new methods

I like to think the relationship between Miura and his readers is the same as Guts and Goto. Miura like Goto, chose this life because it was the only thing he knew how. And like Guts we continue to ever so struggle in life.
RIP to te master. You are right. His manga were his sparks.
I kinda had this Talk with my roomate.When you don't know where your going in life and sit down to enjoy it's mere simple pleasures(sparks) time will pass you by, and several years down the line he will be asking himself what he is doing.There is a comfort AND a danger in dwelling in repeatative unimportant tasks.I after asked myself, do i work to live ?? or live to work? do i like what i do? will i work till I die? is there a better way? or are we still fundamentally slaves to the system?
I ask myself that everyday. Good to know there are other people who are similar in a way.

Sometimes I ask myself the same question
Solar Gaze to state the obvious.
''I didn't choose this, this is who i am.'' In a weird way these words have captivated me. It is as the opening narrator says: ''at least it is true that men have no control, even over his own will.'' I feel the same vague sense of impotence. And Goto is one of few to acknowledge this.
I think a primary theme of Berserk was recognizing the significance of destiny, while also understanding we have the possibility to change it

Guts theme its just fucking amazing
Out of all the intensity, madness, and passion in this series, this particular moment was my favorite. Godot is just like Guts, a man who cannot tell if his trade called to him or he grew into it, but took it and lived. Those fatherly moments where he would shelter Guts and fix his sword, the respect that Guts showed him, all incredibly moving. This whole series has been a modern Conan with a passion unseen since Howard put ink to paper. Thank you for the story, Miura-san.
I enjoy the Conan story also, but following guts is a whole other experience. The berserk story is so good, I’d follow commander Guts anywhere
Man, it's like I wrote this.. I agree 100%.
Reminds me of Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus. Goto understands that his life has been predetermined, and ultimately wasted, but he holds onto that small amount of pleasure he finds in his job. Sparks are the perfect metaphor here, brief glimpses of light in the dark.
Beautifully put man!! People should read more of Albert Camus and of literature in general.
Eh.. not trying to be smartass but Myth of Sisyphus isn't about predestination that is Calvinism. Myth of Sisyphus talk's about eternal struggle of people for nothing, we work, we shed our blood, tears, hurt each other for final moment where it all disappears, death. It explores absurd. Everything is pointless when we are going to die anyway.
True. I think I was quite drunk when I made my original post, but a lot of what you said was what I was trying to get across.
I just fucking love berserk lol. Also Leon is an awesome movie
@@adamgreen1484 And this is definitely not nihilistic as you present it. It's the sparks, it's not the sword making he likes - it's the process. It's not the job we remember, but the moments, that sweet smile when you fix a computer for a lady/work as a cashier, that sweet moment when the cherries bloom in the spring of that tree you planted. That's life
@@kestutisvaiciunas8663 So Godo has not truly wasted himself he still find a sense of beauty even though he still carries a sense of resentment. That is sweet enough for him to keep going so it is not completely nihilistic that’s what makes the scene even better

Goto and guts are very similar, so similar that they led the same life under different context. Guts on battlefield, Goto with blacksmithing. The were born into something that is not what they do but a way of life, that is who they are. Guts with his sword and Goto with his flame, seeing life born and ended in sparks. Guts may not have a happy ending but he will live and die by the very sparks he makes, through those sparks he understands life.
Another way to look at is Guts lives by those sparks, that is his life. Other use those sparks to create a flame that is there dreams.
Baka nah guts will because miura even said it himself that he wants guts to have a happy ending for himself so it's very likely that guts will be happy
Guts Will have a happy ending, whats Wrong with people like u that always want a bad ending for the protagonist, in special with guts, when he has suffer a lot during the story, give this man a break for god sake
@@rax2162 I knowingly state upfront, that I am ignorant of enough source material that I have no right to claim knowledge about "Berserk", but the theme I am fairly familiar with, and In my humble opinion, the older you get, the more "life" you see... you see there are no happy "endings"... there are sparks, and decay. They may be "preferred" ways for the sparks to die out... but die out they do, and you, the person, never really "get" the "ending" in life... just one day, happens to be your last. It's very akin to the idea that, it's not the destination, it's the journey. And in life, again in my humble opinion, there are no destinations. So to have a "happily ever ending" to a story that conveys *reality* feels off, feels well "fantastical" because no one ever gets it. I don't think the fans want guts to have bad ending or a tough time... but a *real* and good spark to fade off on, which given his style of sparks... might not be what a "normal" person would see as a "good ending".
Guts will have a positive but conflicting ending to his journey it will seem
I just can Assume its not going to be a happy ending at all... maybe breaking bad's style
This point in Berserk is an amazing point of peace between the biggest tragedy in the series, then to the most drastic shift. This energy, or vibe it speaks to me personally.
Griffith wants to give me a Piss card.
Guts:
My destiny
My dream
Does this sword embody my dream?
Is this reality?
It has always been at my side
Through pain I could hardly endure
Yes, this is part of me
Whenever I met death, my sword was with me as I moved past it
For all the places that I have seen, and people I can never forget,
I felt everything through the tip of my sword.
This sword is the proof that I ever lived.
Guts:
Godo, how did you decide to become a blacksmith?
Godo:
Family trade.
Guts:
Do you like it?
Godo:
I don’t know.
Guts:
You don’t know?
Godo:
I’ve been gripping this thing since before I could even walk.
I didn’t choose this; this is who I am.
I just strike it, I don’t think. I spent my youth desperate to forge a better sword, become a more skilled smith. Before I knew it, I was old. I don’t even know what the HELL I strike the iron for…
But there is still one thing I like about it: the Sparks.
I like seeing sparks; breathtaking. Life. Bursting before my eyes for just a moment… my life.
Guts:
Sparks. The light borne in the clash when two swords meet. They serve me as well. Throughout my life, the moments and people that have defined me, they have all been illuminated by sparks.
Thanks
The lesson here is that you don't need big dreams, you only need to appreciate what you have and what made you survive.
No one thinks about the wisdom in Erika's innocence . 'Erika likes it because it's fun'.
Raise the hands anyone who wants to have a daughter or younger sister like Erica!✋
I do think there's wisdom in a slightly comedic/sweet moment, but I see it more as Erika following her predetermined path. When we're kids, we think of the adult world as this fantastic and exciting future. But most people get bogged down in their trade, career, or job as the mundanity sets in. Her naivete is dramatic irony not only to the viewer, but also to Guts and Goto. But there is a simple truth there: do what you love, and you don't work a day in your life.
It's another proof of Godo's words about causality.
This saddens me because throughout this whole time when Guts was with Godo training and meditating it seemed like Guts would finally find purpose in life. But then Griffith threw him into the spiral of death and destruction once again and all the progress was lost, Guts became fixated on revenge and then on trying to cure Casca.
If you (Raziel ) meet guts what will happen?
@@leonidvishniakov3810 I will orgasm instantly
@@DrCooch Raziel:" And then I beheld a mortal unlike any I had ever seen before. In this... Guts I saw a reflection of Kain, a man desperate to escape his terrible fate. I wondered if I could aid him."
If you think about it, hes still doing what he decided here
Fighting for his own reasons (not because someone told him to do or force him to do)
Yes, taking revenge isnt good and either is the constant fighting, but he accepted that as his life and now he stopped(at least momentarily) seeking revenge and fights because he wants to protect Casca(its something that he wants, not forced unto him)
Well, she's cured now, so we'll see what happens next.
1:11 Dark souls nailed their logic here.
This scene is a beautiful critique on the modern day "cult" of following your passion and making it your business. Most characters is Berserk are sailors on a ship whose path they don't know, but they find their moments of peace and joy, along with pain and grief times manifold. But they still hang tight, accept their fate yet still fight for a better future.
It s a philosophy that will help us well. A lot of what happens in our life is completely out of our control. Our place of birth, our socioeconomic status, the friends and lovers(and enemies) we meet, our profession, how we die etc. There'll be lots of pain and moments of joy in between that might make it worth it. What we can control though, we must. Your life is like a train station- you'll miss some trains and that's ok. There are others you can catch.
Thanks for these words. They're truly profound.
Thanks man...I needed that.
If you follow your passion and make it your business there would be a lot of trash content such as in reality, this scene is the opposite it is do what you have to and what is needed, anyone working from childhood knows this, spoiled westerns have no idea what life is about, is about survival, the rest are most about colors prisoners put on it.
Whenever I think about the relationship between Guts and Godo I think about how Godo was in a sense Gut's true father. Even though they weren't related by blood he always had an open door, an open ear and the best advice he could muster for Guts and in return Guts always took his words to heart. Taking care of Casca, taking in Rickert, he lent a lot of help to Guts and all he wanted for him was to see the young man find his direction. He was a good guy and this was a powerful and poetic scene, one of Berserk's moist poignant "speeches" and that's saying a lot. Between that and Gut's inner monologues here it really shows off Miura's strength as a writer as well as an artist. Man, do I miss him.
If Guts was adopted by Godo after the incident with Gambino, he would have a much better mental and psychological stability than he had in the original story!
What I saw: "Lol he sucks at cutting logs falling from the sky"
What an actual fan of the show saw: "The failing to cut all of the logs represents Guts's inability to finding his purpose in this world, as not all of his problems can be solved by swinging his sword around, even if that is all he knows. He cannot proceed further in life until he finds another path in life.
Me a intellectual: he faild the quick time event
Me an intellectual: his path is A BIGGER SWORD BABY YEAAAAAH!
Me as one in training: He's going to have to improve his reaction/timing or figure out his own way to take out so many targets at once. You may have slain 100 men in a single night, but how will you slay 100 men in single moment?
The logs can symbolize each new route Guts chooses. At the beginning it’s all fine then all of a sudden everything comes crashing down at once to overwhelm Guts in some way or another
How come he is able to cut the logs later in the manga then
What I really like about scenes like this in Berserk is that they show why Guts is so good at fighting with his sword, sheer effort and constant practice, some other series like to simplify the protag being good at anything down to plot armor instead Miura choose to make Guts more human
Rest in Peace Kentaro Miura.
Thank you for your work,
it changed my life
I love this scene. We all know, (or maybe ARE) someone who is in a job they just feel is drudgery personified, and find it difficult to find the will to keep on the daily grind, so it's kind of inspiring when he says "there's one thing I like, it's the sparks." Just being able to find one thing he enjoys helped him go on all those years. Not that it made it all worth it entirely, but it shows that no matter how aweful a job is, there's always SOMETHING you can hold on to and enjoy about it.
wow..that was deep
I've worked quite a few years serving at restaurants. It's a tough and thankless job, with lots of physical and mental stress. But even on the shittiest day, the genuine smile of the customers when you bring them their food and wish them a happy meal...it does warm my heart and can keep me going for a long time.
When I first saw this scene I felt fear. A fear that I’ve never felt before a fear that chilled me to my bones. Godo the blacksmith has forever known the hammer. Before he could walk he struck when he was a child he struck when he was a teenager he struck when he was a man he struck. All he has known is the forge it has been so long with him it has become him. He’s life has centered around the forge. He’s environment he’s family he’s self has all been focused on the forge. He knows nothing else but the forge. No other ambitions or goals but the forge. It was the most natural thing to him. Now he is a old man living alone with he’s daughter. Still he is striking. When he reflects back on why he is still striking he doesn’t know but what he does know is that he still finds a beauty in it. The sparks. The sparks are a resemblance of life. That beauty is enough to keep him going even if it is just enough. That lifelong commitment to one single thing is scary it scares me because it’s a one way ticket. Would I be fulfilled to commit myself lifelong to one craft before I knew anything else? Will I be better off with another craft? Would it still be possible for me to find a passion I seek even when I an old man? Is this craft (or purpose) enough for me? What if that answer is no? Then what? Have I lived my life doing something that I was truly not invested in? Doesn’t it really matter at that point? If I doing something for so long do I eventually grow to find an enjoyment in it? The uncertainty and potential dread wondering if you have limited your own potential. I think is worse than death. That dread is something I try to avoid entirely but the opposite dilemma can also occur too. Being so versatile that you don’t really know what you want to truly do. Life seems so simple yet complicated at the same time we just wish to find a sense of peace in it. Maybe the key is balance.
Too much wandering. just stike that hammer.
When one stares into the blade of a sword ones true self is reflected back for what is a swordsman but the will of his blade made flesh
Quote of me outlaw samurai
Guts really does represent all of us that feeling of searching for a purpose. I owe a lot to miura bezerk has become my bible. I owe miura my life I wanted to die and than I stumbled across this story I read it and I realised I was wrong for giving up on myself and for not having a dream. I can’t thank miura enough so instead I’ll never give up on myself and I will do my best to bring joy to those around me. RIP I will not forget ur what you taught me.
I I I’m seriously at a lose for words with this comment, it’s excellently put it really is lovely person, and it’s definitely words to live by, we should all try to be better, and get along because we are all family even if it isn’t by blood we all inhabit this earth. Okay I’m not religious really since i want to believe in my own will, but it’s truly a religious enlightenment that it helped you so much hell even divide intervention.
You should know this: if there is any human being capable of killing the godhand that would be Guts. Hes been swinging that sword ever since he was a child. He literaly never did anything else until he got Caska. Miura wanted you to know that Guts deserved a happy ending.
I was trying to make him a great WARRior. 😧😰😢
Alll we have are the shared memories we all have from watching and reading his great work that’s something that will always be here
watching this on 4th of July with sparks of fireworks resonating through the night sky, thinking about my future and my dreams
Rest in peace, Kentaro Miura
Guts:
Sparks. The light borne in the clash when two swords meet. They serve me as well. Throughout my life, the moments and people that have defined me, they have all been illuminated by sparks.
I listen to this at the gym. Very fitting
godos speech (in my opinion) was about how even though he didn't find fulfillment or purpose in his life still enjoyed the sparks as in it was his life he saw in those sparks those fleeting moments of brief short light and he loved it. not necessarily blacksmithing in general and guts can relate very similarly because he's been in countless wars and fights and triumphs and losses yet he never enjoyed it, or truly felt defeated, he loved to swing his sword and that was it, except for guts it's different because he still has a chance to seek more then what he'd been doing up till then so godo's words drives him to go out and actually fucking do something about casca and griffith, even if guts was never destined for greatness or in the flow of causality (not yet) he still chooses to go on and that's why guts is the best fucking anime character and i say that as a fact GUTS WILL ALWAYS STRUGGLE NO MATTER WHAT
You got it right straight at the begining
Its all about giving your own life meaning and purpose
I will use real life here:
Most people in this world reach adulthood and start working and the only thing they do with the money they earn is buy basic things like food, house and trivial things but they dont think about the reasons why they work and what they want about their life thats why most people are like the Band of the Hawk th-cam.com/video/LLXQcMEtoEw/w-d-xo.html
People like Guts try to find meaning and purpose for everything they do, thats why when Guts comes back he knows that he will only fight for himself "I've made up my mind. I'll never entrust my sword to another again. I'll never hang from someone else's dream. From now on... every battle will be my own."
Which is kind of sad because he now fights because of Griffith
this is great mate
Goto's speach is even more impresive in the manga
i highly recommend it
You gotta appreciate the nod to Kenshiro with how big Guts’ eyebrows are
the ost is beautiful
ukhio
great edits man, very seamless. loved how you inserted the music without it being noticeable.
Took the words out of my mouth. I love coming back to this video every year or so when I'm feeling nostalgic for the greatest anime of all time. (just my opinion)
Goto's speech kinda reminds of people just going through the motions their entire lives life with no real puprose doing the same empty activities day after day, with the promotion at work being their only objective, ultimately they don't even know what they're supposed to do or who they're supposed to be and before they know it they're old.
Damn hearing this actually scares me because it makes me think I’m wasting away even if I’m enjoying myself, but i just really wanna have died achieving something big, and fulfilling dreams.
To think a piece of history like this has touched so many people, perhaps it's discontinuation is what gave it that magical feeling, i wish I wasn't so selfish and could be content with what we have but can't help but yearn for more
RIP Kentaro Miura
This scene reminds me of writer Charles Bukowski. He had a really shitty and poor life and mostly viewed life through a pessimistic lens (however there's a bit of optimism and grittiness in his work). He had many reasons to quit or kill himself. But he kept on living and writing, because writing was all he knew, it was a way of expressing himself, and he was good at it. He wasn't really writing for any reason or for anybody, he did it because it was his nature.
I just realised that guts is an anime character! He's too real
This is a scene i was looking for a long time. Ty for finding it. Really appriciate that.
Anytime bud
life, bursting before my eyes for just a moment. my life.
I wanna have this revelation as an old man right before I die
this was a very important maybe the most impoertant scence for his existence and the story of guts the swordsman aka Berserk. thank you for that
I'm glad this is still here today rest in peace you magic man.
What I would give to live in a timeline where the anime didn't end.
Yeah that would definitely be interesting to see play out dude, though i want to be in the timeline where Mirua, finished Berserk, and finally started living his life since he would have achieved his dream of ending his journey, then dying happy.
everything about this is legit on point to everyone alive . even when they question where they belong . in a warehouse, in an office, in a chair gaming. they have place even when they try to fight life it will always put you where she thinks you belong, just remember " WHERE SHE THINKS YOU BELONG"

The strong always searches oneself and their place in this world - it;s that part of Gut's character that makes him the strongest of all, bending and defeating causality, because he searches for a deeper meaning and self within his existence. Great video, thank you for sharing
This is just a beautiful comment I guess that’s why my OC, is so strong it isn’t because of her powers, her immortality, her smarts, no it’s none of that it’s because she looked into herself from her bare breast, and probably cried, and chucked about her predicament, so she used that for fuel to try, and do as much for people, along with all of existence, since it’s bigger than her, which she takes on the challenge head on.
my favorite seen also Rip Kentaro Miura
It seems to me like a lot of people like Berserk because they like seeing a man with an unpractically large sword killing demons and other things. Not me. If that was all there was to it, I would have zero interest in Berserk. I enjoy the story the most.
Evil Ryu i think that's exactly why people love berserk and then some! if what you said at first is mostly true, the new berserk animes would still be liked more convincingly, what makes berserk the original anime and the mangas so good is it's setting, it's art and atmosphere, the personalities, plot, and the brutal and raw fightings...
Evil Ryu actually, i don't even want to call it plot. it sounds lame, i like your mention of the word story, cuz that's what this, a story
I like it because it's aimed at those of us going through life changes post-high school through to whenever. I enjoyed the dark fantasy elements in the anime. The manga has it going for three arcs, then it changes again. I appreciate the author making Guts experience harsh realities to then change as a human being. He is learning to enjoy having company and a lover in his life. Whether he revisits his revenge plot is unknown. The manga definitely needed a break from the hack and slash to get its mojo back.
People love Berserk due to its characters, story, philosophical interests, etc. If as many people watched it or read it for just the demon combat, it would just be simplistic like Attack on Titan, which I can not stand that show and it would more than likely be more main stream in popularity.
Yeah real fucking snowflake you are guy
Now this have a power. Life is passing by. Live!
One of the only times he was at peace
Godo's speech about the sparks reminds me of the opening scene from Conan the Barbarian where Conan learns about the Riddle of Steel from his father and his god Crom.
This whole scene hits hard after the chapter 370
Such a beautiful and profound anime The Berserk is!!
Berserk is the greatest manga ever with no stories, that alone is haunting and adds to the mystique of refinement of this story, it so well done, and so perfect in it’s manga form that a part of me wonders how you would close such an engaging story?
Man I remember being kicked out of high school and reading Berserk in early college. I didn’t even care about that frustration of leaving because Berserk helped me cope so much. Made me think about my place in the world and my life’s purpose. This manga…it made me learn so much more than school.
Wait what do you do now than?
Same, I found it when a large group of my friends dropped me for reasons I still don't fully know. I was so depressed but berserk kept me in a stable place. It really is a masterpiece that's underappreciated

it also fits since these characters aren't japanese. I tried watching it with japanese dubbing and i couldn't get into it, felt odd. just like watching naruto in english, it just didn't fit right.

It's a very Zen Buddhist approach when he says "I just strike the iron, i don't think." So many people live in the past or future and they forget to actually live in the present moment. Life, love, and meaning can only be fully appreciated in the moment, which is as brilliant and as fleeting as a spark.

"Berserk is just a power fantasy about a dude swinging a big sword!"
Meanwhile:
Guts: "WHY do I swing by my big sword? I must dedicate multiple chapters delivering soliloquies while holding my big sword. Why am I so deep and well spoken when holding my big sword? My big sword...it sparks big words from me...yes...my big sword..."
Godot, Griffith, Casca, Judeau and Skeleton Knight: 🤨🤨🤨
Then in the last chapter:
My sword..... failed me
“Tell that fool. Don’t end up like me”
folks you know why we are here with his passing there is a small sadness in me because I felt he understood my pain.
Akira Toriyama and Kentaro Miura what is this world becoming.
This is where you get that Guts, though he's a super tough warrior dude, still contemplates as a young man would. The sparks quote by the boomer black smith is "super profound, blows my mind, far out man... it's kind of like my sword and whatever, like when two swords clash and shit, bro. Far out."
It's just Nietzsche, living life in the moment. Guts was just exploring as he needed to as a young man, before deciding to settle down.
