And that's how it ended folks, Griffith, passed away from his wounds, and Guts and Casca go on to lead their own mercenary band and settle down and have 3 kids. All is well in the world
It's funny I always think if they all did go their separate ways after saving Griffith like Judo suggested the series would still have been a masterpiece
@@dankybirb9981 He meant that he’d like Zoro’s voice actor from the 4kids dub of One Piece (Marc Diraison) to be the current Zoro in the funimation dub (currently Chris Sabat).
21:05 It still hurts even to this day. All of them wanting to go with him knowing full well what is waiting for them all in just a few minutes. I'm sad.
It’s what makes the eclipse hit even harder because these people were no longer pawns or something Griffith controlled or owned they were free and they admired, loved and followed someone else now but then Griffith sacrifices them like it was his right to due so
@@Boog609 bruh they are much, u just Dont know. And monster is on god tier anime level. Like gintama, vinland saga, evangelion, steins gate, psycho pass, aot, jojo, rorouni kenshin. U should watch all of them man
@@NO-em5si Guts, Baby. Gaston is Goku. He could have killed Griffith before his transformation. But he would not have it. The stupid Ape took pity. Now look what he brought.
The voice actor for Goku shows up multiple times in Berserk. I swear there was one episode where it sounded like Goku was having a conversation with 3 other Gokus lol
I have to say, the love scene between casca and guts is taken so seriously that it’s a breath of fresh air. I feel like sex scenes are just meant to be gratuitous for the sake of being gratuitous; but this treats sex like a physical link and bond between the two. They literally find catharsis in each other mentally and physically it’s really beautiful.
Rocky Balboa said it best: They fill each other's gaps. But what funnier is that Guts and Casca have basically the same backstop and traumas. You only realize it after they consummate! 😁
Guts: Hey Griffith man I feel really down for killing a child Griffith: I'm sorry you have to go through so much for the sake of my dream, I'll never ask you something like this ever again. Guts: It's ok Griffith, I'm just glad you're one step closer to achieving your dream Griffith: Thanks Guts I actually really love you for everything you've done for me and the time we spent together .... *They kiss*

@@stevieweebi I finished the anime a couple of days ago and started reading the manga and yeah I already feel like it's gonna be one of the best stories I've read
I'm quite oposite in that case. It gets me as well, but only from Judeau point od view. Those guys were like a dogs, they needed a master that will feed them, give them backup and make them to feel safetly. When Griffith was unable to give them that anynore, they turn themselfs to Guts. None od them at least try to find him and ask if they can be on that journey with him. They would happily serve Griffith if he would be able to lead. With Judeau is quite different. He could leave and he would be quite fine by himself. More then that, he could także a Rickert with him and they would still be fine. But he was going to do a different thing; he decided to screwed his own life and become a Griffith's nurse and protektor, knowing that they will be doomed on Midland. He saw what Griffith has truly become, as he was possibly the only one that noticed that in prison Griffith tried to strangle Guts. But he decided to stay with him, and push a women he loved into arms of another man. Only for her, only to make her happy. And he knew, that none of them would left Griffith alone, so he had to take care of him. Its a kind of ULTIMATE sacrifice, Judeau was the purest soul in that band.
The last part where Guts finally realized the one thing he ever wanted in life was always there the whole time, gets me every time especially what comes after this moment RIP Miura, Berserk may or may not be over now but it’s legacy will never die for as long as we remember it
Jesus, I almost cried mate when I realised that Casca instead of becoming Griffiths sword became Guts Sword. The same as Guts only slept next to his sword and he ended up with Casca😭😭😭😭
Yes, and whereas Griffith’s sword was just a tool for him for Guts his sword has always been his only companion, his only source of comfort, the only thing he could trust and hold close to him. So this works on so many levels.
As much as I appreciate the fact that Berserk has gotten more recognition from Guts' theme becoming a meme, I really hope it doesn't ruin the immersion for new fans. I absolutely adore how it elevates some of the emotional scenes in this show, and I can see it breaking people's investment in the moment if all they hear is the meme. Maybe I'm fretting too much about it.

My reading of the talk with the princess is that Grifith was lying to himself. He obviously sees Gutts as a friend and has a great respect for him but could not adimitt it because Grifith is so full of himself and thinks he is above every one.
There's just an atmosphere to Berserk 97's visual and sound design that's so enchanting and genuine. Even if we get a definitive adaptation sometime in the future, I'll still go back to this one from time to time purely for these scenes.
Band of the hawk were loyal and admired both Griffith and Guts. They were both the missing piece both Griffith and Guts we're looking for. Griffith saw them as the missing piece of what he wanted. Pawns to achieve his Kingdom. Guts saw them as the missing piece of what he wanted. A family.
not really perfect, skipping major things in Guts childhood, skipping very romantic and touching Casca & Guts sex scene, skipping what happened after Griffith was captured and skipping that King raped Charlotte. But it's still really, really decent.

@@guts1788 Low budget is putting it mildly! Many still shots and recycled animations would've cheapened the anime, but the story & music saves it bjg-time!
The anime is just like a synopsis of a few key story arcs. If it followed the manga, there would be hundreds of episodes similar to One Piece. On the other hand -- having read a fair amount of the manga -- it really felt like they drug the story out. Like it was more filler than relevant.
"This is what I was looking for my whole life. I didn't realize it until this very moment. But, everything I wanted back then is right here before me now. Why don't I ever realize what I have until it's lost to me?" - The whole song summed up for me.
You’re going to be alright. You just stumbled over a stone in the road, it means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this, doesn’t it? I’m sure you’ll overcome this. You’ll walk again, soon miura last words to us
It is a literal crime that there hasn’t been a continuation with crazy animation and visuals for the present day, I get so mad when I watch clips of the 97’ anime and realize there’s only 26 episodes
@@stevieweebi nah. Casca's part where she realizes she loves Guts. And realizes she has a place in his soul for what she brings to him. That shit hits hard.
this made me completely change how i play in elden ring, put all my points into strength, vitality, and endurance. got the night's cavalry armor, got the greatsword. changed my sliders! now im guts
the most amazing reading experience of my life. he may be gone. but my god one of the best stories ever. regardless of if it was a manga or not amazing story.
that last scene really got me, ohhh gosh i still remember when me and my homie just vibin in the living room waiting for the next chapter wondering "miura where will you take us next"
"You’re going to be alright. You just stumbled over a stone in the road, it means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this, doesn’t it? I’m sure you’ll overcome this. You'll walk again...soon..." I listened to that quote over 20 times and it still gets me.
It's really sad to see Griffith's line of dialogue right before Casca's. She wants to dedicate herself entirely to Griffith, but Griffith could never be friends with or respect someone who depends on him to give meaning to their existence.
The Hawks themselves were completely griffith puppets even guts. It was a cult esque band. That's why guts and casca are the ones who survive,since both of them outgrew griffith dream and loved each other and wanted to move on from griffith
I love watching guts physical transformation over time. Going from skinny (for him anyway) to being MEGA F***ING JACKED (especially in the black swordsman arc)
i discovered it in 2020 and i knew right from the first episodes it’s a standout piece. and when i finished the 97 series i knew without a shadow of a doubt Miura is a genius at his craft. took me about half an hour to process everything only Stanley Kubrick has stunned me like that with film.
since miura's passing, i started to get all the hardcover volumes of beserk and as many times i seen the anime, i'm just as excited to read the manga. there is SO much that you don't see by watching the anime, cause it was removed, so me reading it is literally like a whole new story. i will say, watching this certainly brings a nostalgic feeling to me.
Boys, I've only watched the original Naruto, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and Afro Samurai and never got into "Anime" but after watching and listening to "Guts Theme" meme/vidoes or whatever and watching the movies on Netflix and knowing about Kentaro Miura death recently,this Anime/Manga really fucking hit me man, I'm shit with words, but, fuck, this video hits.
@@mrmanisnice6828 berserk is easily top 25 best anime out there. There is a LOT of shitty anime out there. Samurai champloo and cowboy bebop, afro samurai are also top 25 easy. You don't need to be a general anime fan to love great stories told in manga or anime medium. These stories are told so well, and it's not necessarily because they are anime is why they are great, it's because of them being great stories.
@@vishnuramesh171 Alright. But I wont spoil everything, its much better if you read/watch it. (Spoiler warning) What I said above has a double meaning. On one half from the character perspective, what follows after these scenes is something many anime & non-anime fans consider one of the most horrifying and heartbreaking moment in fictional history, called *The Eclipse.* Everything durring & after the Eclipse is painful. In an effort to restore his body and chances of having his own kingdom after over a year of torture, Griffith does the unthinkable. He sacrifices all his friends and soldier (including Guts & Casca) to ancient horrifying beings. All of them are given as a feast to countless demons and monsters. Watching many characters we came to love and care for were slaughtered and/or torn apart, broken physically and psychologically. Only Guts & Casca survive thanks to outside help, but they too are broken. Guts loses an arm and an eye, but Casca is psychogically broken, as she was [redacted]. She is left horribly traumatized, so much so, she loses her sanity and her mental state is reduced to that of a child. Guts is left with nothing again but his unbriddled hatred for Griffith, and swears revenge. (Mind you, all of this is only the first quarter of the current story). In terms of real life pain to fans & readers, watching all these characters suffer is bad enough. Before 2021, readers (like me) had to wait months or years and waiting through many hiatuses just to get a new chapter, due to the author carefully perfecting his story and art. The constant waiting and delays made many feel like the story would never come to an end. Many jokingly said the author would die before it would finish. That nightmare became a reality in 2021, when the manga's creator, Kentaro Miura, died from health problems. Leaving his story Berserk unfinished.
"No matter what, I _will_ have what I want" "One man's dream can hold dominion over the entire world" Looking back, those are both incredibly accurate and forboding statements
I love the English accent. I have chosen to watch this anime with it because I always watched it at midnight and didn't want to read the fucking subtitles because I always watched it laying down in my bed. I just god damn love it. It's nostalgic to me.
I got a feeling with the outpouring of support for this franchise, somebody might adapt it in full. You know and not totally wreck it post golden age lol. I got a feeling it could be done. Something Miura would be proud of.
The problem is that for all animu adaptations, the 1997, the OVAs, even the 2016-17, Miura consulted the creators. Unless it retains all of 1997 elements and doesn't change the story in any way, it has a chance of succeeding
@@one_step_sideways the whole Wyald section of the story is easily the most distasteful. Rape and bodily mutilation in all Berserky greatness on full display might be too much for animation studios to handle.
I mentioned this in a few other videos, but this theme has a progressive importance because whenever something significant happens to Guts (internally and / or externally), this theme happens to play. At first I was wondering, "WHY IN THE HELL DOES THIS THEME PLAY SO MUCH?!" but then at some point, this becomes a slightly chilling, haunting, yet comforting theme at times showing that Guts has gained enlightenment on some issue: needing to prove his strength to Griffith -- his tumultuous relationship with Casca, but once again needing to prove himself to her and the rest of the Hawks -- unsure of his purpose for so long (apart from just fighting), Guts understanding his purpose for serving Griffith (his friend) and furthering his goals -- Guts being crushed that serving Griffith only makes him a soldier and finding out that to truly become Griffith's friend, he has to find his own goals in life -- Guts explaining to Casca that everyone has their own goals but him and that he has to leave the Hawks to find his...it's just a theme of progressive wisdom and inner strength that shows Guts' progression from a man raised by Gambino to just be a cold mercenary on the battlefield to becoming more of a leader and friend of the Band of the Hawk. And ultimately, through this theme, Guts defeats Griffith and comes to find his place was always meant to be with the Hawks...only for after the final time that the theme plays that this revelation comes too late. This is a theme that has such passion, strength, emotion, and depth that truly adds to the anime hands down.
The first time I heard this song I was like "ohhkay, that's kinda cringe/cheesy", but after a while it just got into my heart, and today I get emotional every time I hear it.
I remember watching the anime back in late 2020... I also remember consciously thinking about this theme as it played, with a lingering thought that it felt so familiar. Prior, I had never seen Berserk. Miura was still alive and so Berserk was yet to be revived by his passing, and this was also before the song became a big meme. Looking back at it, I think it sounded akin to some songs I heard on an old PC or PS2 game, but I'll never be certain. Anyone else get that feeling of familiarity while listening to it? Or is it a feeling of loss?
Dang, I just came here to see the original context for this meemed-to-death song, was not expecting to get hit with some gems in the first 2 minutes like that
I am a sub guy, but I prefer the dub of this series. The voice acting is on point, but I also find the lines very inspirational, satisfying, intelligent, and even motivational. I love to listen to the conversations with my eyes closed before I fall a sleep. Griffiths conversation with the princess and guts bonfires of dreams are some of myfavorites. If they were in Japanese i wouldnt understand shit, and forget them immediately. The dub is set in stone in my mind, it is beautiful. Especially with guts theme on the background. A true piece of art.

Sad knowing this anime will never get finished hopefully some can pick it up and do something without messing it up rest easy to the creator ✊🏿
It will get finished. i know that there are people who will take it and respect it and there is also Miura's students as well.
Why the anime?manga
@@Artheusslay big man, dude probably has only seen the anime… not everyone reads manga
The anime is just like a synopsis of a few key story arcs. If it followed the manga, there would be hundreds of episodes similar to One Piece.
On the other hand -- having read a fair amount of the manga -- it really felt like they drug the story out. Like it was more filler than relevant.

"This is what I was looking for my whole life. I didn't realize it until this very moment. But, everything I wanted back then is right here before me now. Why don't I ever realize what I have until it's lost to me?" - The whole song summed up for me.
You’re going to be alright. You just stumbled over a stone in the road, it means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this, doesn’t it? I’m sure you’ll overcome this. You’ll walk again, soon miura last words to us

Casca calling out to Guts as he walks away and the last scene with Gaston and the rest of the Hawks wanting to join Guts, that got me emotional

A man with taste I see
Fr lmao 🗿
the most amazing reading experience of my life. he may be gone. but my god one of the best stories ever. regardless of if it was a manga or not amazing story.
Dub is sooo smoothly done
fuck it the Dub is good, and I'm tired of Pretending it isn't. also the narration at the start of each episode godly.
that last scene really got me, ohhh gosh i still remember when me and my homie just vibin in the living room waiting for the next chapter wondering "miura where will you take us next"
"You’re going to be alright. You just stumbled over a stone in the road, it means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this, doesn’t it? I’m sure you’ll overcome this. You'll walk again...soon..."
I listened to that quote over 20 times and it still gets me.
Rewatching the anime, is these moments that get me and realize why Berserk is so loved
It's really sad to see Griffith's line of dialogue right before Casca's. She wants to dedicate herself entirely to Griffith, but Griffith could never be friends with or respect someone who depends on him to give meaning to their existence.
The Hawks themselves were completely griffith puppets even guts. It was a cult esque band. That's why guts and casca are the ones who survive,since both of them outgrew griffith dream and loved each other and wanted to move on from griffith
@@Miuranger1 Wow, that's a really good point. Still RIP Judeau.
God the last scene makes you truly understand the song if you have read the manga
2:45
Guts and griffith foreshadowing the events of their broken hearts
90 seconds in and I now understand why everyone loves this IP. RIP Miura
Bro the dub was magnificent also the anime adaptation for this is great too
OMG what a charming handsome badass swordsman! I hope he lives a happy life

Watching this while knowing what’s to come makes you appreciate the peacefulness so much more
I watched this show so many years before it became popular and this theme has played in my head ever since then…and I’m so happy it became popular
i discovered it in 2020 and i knew right from the first episodes it’s a standout piece.
and when i finished the 97 series i knew without a shadow of a doubt Miura is a genius at his craft.
took me about half an hour to process everything only Stanley Kubrick has stunned me like that with film.
since miura's passing, i started to get all the hardcover volumes of beserk and as many times i seen the anime, i'm just as excited to read the manga. there is SO much that you don't see by watching the anime, cause it was removed, so me reading it is literally like a whole new story. i will say, watching this certainly brings a nostalgic feeling to me.
Boys, I've only watched the original Naruto, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and Afro Samurai and never got into "Anime" but after watching and listening to "Guts Theme" meme/vidoes or whatever and watching the movies on Netflix and knowing about Kentaro Miura death recently,this Anime/Manga really fucking hit me man, I'm shit with words, but, fuck, this video hits.
Bro honestly I hate reading mangas but I love guts as a character and his story so much that I’m gonna finish its manga
@@mrmanisnice6828 berserk is easily top 25 best anime out there. There is a LOT of shitty anime out there. Samurai champloo and cowboy bebop, afro samurai are also top 25 easy. You don't need to be a general anime fan to love great stories told in manga or anime medium. These stories are told so well, and it's not necessarily because they are anime is why they are great, it's because of them being great stories.
@@khanofkhans6546 I totally agree bro 🙏
I’ve watched the exact same shows

Summarizing Berserk never felt so painful. 😭
Knowing what happens immediately after makes it so much worse too
Can you tell what happens next? Please
@@vishnuramesh171 In terms of pain to both readers and the actual characters.
Immense.
You want spoilers for Berserk?
@@noirangel6416 yes mate.. : )
@@vishnuramesh171 Alright. But I wont spoil everything, its much better if you read/watch it.
(Spoiler warning)
What I said above has a double meaning.
On one half from the character perspective, what follows after these scenes is something many anime & non-anime fans consider one of the most horrifying and heartbreaking moment in fictional history, called *The Eclipse.* Everything durring & after the Eclipse is painful.
In an effort to restore his body and chances of having his own kingdom after over a year of torture, Griffith does the unthinkable. He sacrifices all his friends and soldier (including Guts & Casca) to ancient horrifying beings. All of them are given as a feast to countless demons and monsters. Watching many characters we came to love and care for were slaughtered and/or torn apart, broken physically and psychologically.
Only Guts & Casca survive thanks to outside help, but they too are broken. Guts loses an arm and an eye, but Casca is psychogically broken, as she was [redacted]. She is left horribly traumatized, so much so, she loses her sanity and her mental state is reduced to that of a child.
Guts is left with nothing again but his unbriddled hatred for Griffith, and swears revenge. (Mind you, all of this is only the first quarter of the current story).
In terms of real life pain to fans & readers, watching all these characters suffer is bad enough. Before 2021, readers (like me) had to wait months or years and waiting through many hiatuses just to get a new chapter, due to the author carefully perfecting his story and art. The constant waiting and delays made many feel like the story would never come to an end. Many jokingly said the author would die before it would finish.
That nightmare became a reality in 2021, when the manga's creator, Kentaro Miura, died from health problems. Leaving his story Berserk unfinished.
"No matter what, I _will_ have what I want"
"One man's dream can hold dominion over the entire world"
Looking back, those are both incredibly accurate and forboding statements
god
Planning on jumping into Berserk! I know nothing about it but it sounds good!
* 1 week later *
*stands in the rain while listening to Guts' theme *
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the English accent. I have chosen to watch this anime with it because I always watched it at midnight and didn't want to read the fucking subtitles because I always watched it laying down in my bed. I just god damn love it. It's nostalgic to me.
The other old video got deleted dammit! Glad you uploaded this one
I got a feeling with the outpouring of support for this franchise, somebody might adapt it in full. You know and not totally wreck it post golden age lol. I got a feeling it could be done. Something Miura would be proud of.
I hope it would include Wyald and the Lost Children arc. Nobody wants to adapt those parts for some reason.
@@isaacfaith9369 "for some reason"😂😂😂
The problem is that for all animu adaptations, the 1997, the OVAs, even the 2016-17, Miura consulted the creators. Unless it retains all of 1997 elements and doesn't change the story in any way, it has a chance of succeeding
@@Cyeoable Why though? Only because of the adult attack?
@@one_step_sideways the whole Wyald section of the story is easily the most distasteful. Rape and bodily mutilation in all Berserky greatness on full display might be too much for animation studios to handle.
Notice how most of these scenes have Casca with Guts
Everytime this song plays my 3rd eye opens
I mentioned this in a few other videos, but this theme has a progressive importance because whenever something significant happens to Guts (internally and / or externally), this theme happens to play. At first I was wondering, "WHY IN THE HELL DOES THIS THEME PLAY SO MUCH?!" but then at some point, this becomes a slightly chilling, haunting, yet comforting theme at times showing that Guts has gained enlightenment on some issue: needing to prove his strength to Griffith -- his tumultuous relationship with Casca, but once again needing to prove himself to her and the rest of the Hawks -- unsure of his purpose for so long (apart from just fighting), Guts understanding his purpose for serving Griffith (his friend) and furthering his goals -- Guts being crushed that serving Griffith only makes him a soldier and finding out that to truly become Griffith's friend, he has to find his own goals in life -- Guts explaining to Casca that everyone has their own goals but him and that he has to leave the Hawks to find his...it's just a theme of progressive wisdom and inner strength that shows Guts' progression from a man raised by Gambino to just be a cold mercenary on the battlefield to becoming more of a leader and friend of the Band of the Hawk. And ultimately, through this theme, Guts defeats Griffith and comes to find his place was always meant to be with the Hawks...only for after the final time that the theme plays that this revelation comes too late. This is a theme that has such passion, strength, emotion, and depth that truly adds to the anime hands down.
This will always be funny to me 3:36
The first time I heard this song I was like "ohhkay, that's kinda cringe/cheesy", but after a while it just got into my heart, and today I get emotional every time I hear it.
I get it, but I liked it from the start.
God, the last scene hits hard, my heart feels heavy
The calm before the the storm, you might say. Guts was clear in his mind about all his relationships before you-know-what.
*Guts finally realizing that he belonged with the Band of the Falcon hits in the feels.*
I love it when he says "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Thank you so much! This is amazing!
Him mogging the fuck out of Griffith at their second duel is so good
why is this song so fucking fun to listen to
I miss guts' left eye
Edit* I'm stupid
@Angus was it?
Wasn't it the right eye?
@@amentalio011 was it?
All things aside about the dub, Hirasawa's work on the soundtrack is Phenominal
Eclipse just fucks you up man.
I remember watching the anime back in late 2020... I also remember consciously thinking about this theme as it played, with a lingering thought that it felt so familiar.
Prior, I had never seen Berserk. Miura was still alive and so Berserk was yet to be revived by his passing, and this was also before the song became a big meme.
Looking back at it, I think it sounded akin to some songs I heard on an old PC or PS2 game, but I'll never be certain. Anyone else get that feeling of familiarity while listening to it? Or is it a feeling of loss?
Damn… the music really makes you feel the emotions 😢
Watched Berserk for the first time earlier this year, I never get tired of hearing this theme. Absolutely amazing
Dang, I just came here to see the original context for this meemed-to-death song, was not expecting to get hit with some gems in the first 2 minutes like that
This shit hits different now…
Super different now in particular
RIP Miura
This theme Hits different. If you watched this Anime as a Kid in the old days
16:18 christ, that is a heartbreaking scream
"Long after they've been abandoned, they still smolder deep within men's hearts" He's not wrong.
One of the greatest OST’s of all time
Guts’ theme be louder than the dialogue at times.
never delete this please! although what griffith did was unacceptable i cant help but gravitate to him.. the dream speach really resonated with me
0:17 i dont get it how was he so magnificent when he was just spamming the same attack?
He bet his life on one final blow and came out on top against a much larger opponent.
“Why don’t I ever realize what I have until it’s lost to me” 21:34 hits hard.
“I watched your duel with Bazuzo. It was magnificent.”
Yes. Nothing more magnificent than spamming an overhead slash.
please never delete this²
I am a sub guy, but I prefer the dub of this series. The voice acting is on point, but I also find the lines very inspirational, satisfying, intelligent, and even motivational. I love to listen to the conversations with my eyes closed before I fall a sleep. Griffiths conversation with the princess and guts bonfires of dreams are some of myfavorites.
If they were in Japanese i wouldnt understand shit, and forget them immediately. The dub is set in stone in my mind, it is beautiful. Especially with guts theme on the background. A true piece of art.
Yee
The dub for this is top tier
Marc Diraison is top tier as Guts. Every time I read the manga I hear his voice.
