Guts is literally me. I identify with this character more than any other. Ive been a struggler my whole life. Debilitating health problems. I've been at war with my own body, my mind my whole life, and actually went to war. Trauma and danger. I never gave up. Things did get better, but man i still feel that sword on my back sometimes. Figuratively speaking.
As a man that spends way too much time on the internet watching TH-cam videos, I can say with confidence that your channel has A+ content. This was on of the best takes on Berserk's themes and Guts as a character that I've seen on the platform, and I've watched a lot of videos about Berserk. Plus, you managed to convey your ideas in only 12 minutes, seriously, this was better than most half hour long videos. Keep up the good work my friend!
I also spend way too much time watching TH-cam vids lol thank you this man it means a lot especially considering I worried about the length of this because so many berserk vids are so long that I felt I had to have mine be long as well so genuinely thank you for this 🌊 I’ll definitely try to keep up the A+ content !
I was 30 when i finally took life seriously..before that i had a shit job, no good relationship with family, no purpose just living alone and on drugs ..but i struggled , endured and cried and now i have an excellent job , a wife and son whom i dearly love..just keep on going folks..the sadness, regrets and depression will end .. thers happiness and joy too..its a cycle..if i whos not even that smart can do..everybody can....just keep going..youll get there..life changes when you least expect it..
Berserk has inspired me to live a better life and be a BETTER me, Thank you Guts, Thank you Kentaro Miura. It’s changed my perspective on life and has helped me get over my grudges. Berserk has saved my life.
Hey man, I know this is quite an old vid now but I wanted to put a comment because this video really helped me. I have seen a tonne of your more recent content and loved it so I started watching your older vids and love those too. However this vid came to me at the right time. I am a physics student and I'm about to go into my 2nd year at university. I have moved into a student house with my flatmates and trying to settle in. However these last few days I felt lost. I thought I would find it easy compared to last year. Last year was when I first moved out my parent's house and I really struggled with that. Last night I went out drinking and may have had too much. I woke up today and felt pretty rough 😂. However, for some reason I just started feeling really down mentally. I miss my family, and I miss the times where I didn't have to think about my future. This may be naive but I want to become a great physicist and discover something massive that will help our understanding of the Universe and physics as a whole. Everyday that is something I strive towards. It gets hard at times. Sometimes that existential dread kicks in and I think my goal and life are both pointless. (Oddly enough I am 20 years old so the 20 existential crisis must be a real thing). Having watched this video today, it gave me the motivation to keep going towards my goals and well, to keep struggling 😂. This and Berserk really mean a lot to me so thank you so much for making this vid. If anyone reads this, you gotta keep going. Everyone is fighting their own battles and yours is no different. Just keep moving forward and you will succeed. I hope this isn't too cringey, I literally never comment on vids but I felt like I had to get this off my chest. Thanks again.
As a man who is 21, that hitting 20 phase is so relatable, and I'm fully aware that I'm doing it, and yet it's everpresent despite the messages you've given and beliefs of having to carry on and it'll get better, that I share. not that I'm actually struggling or anything, but it's just always in the back of my mind
You've made a very good video here, and I understand what you mean completely. I started reading Berserk about 15 years ago, and I'm 33 now. I too have lived feeling like there is no purpose to my existence, and it's only recently that I've started therapy. I've struggled. And I will keep struggling. I won't let the inner beast win no matter how hard it fights to get out. I will get that brand tattoo one day, to remember the struggle, and to honor Miura. I hope he knew, before he passed, how many lives he managed to touch and influence. Stay strong, fellow strugglers.
I heard ds2 end credit song too. You a souls fan? I feel souls fans and berserk fans go hand in hand. Berserk fans hear about dark souls or dark souls fans hear about berserk and one tries out the other. I personally was a berserk fan that heard about it’s major influence in dark souls. Also amazing video. Your message and reason for being a TH-camr seem very authentic and real. You I’ve my support fellow strugglers. Just keep moving forward. Struggle, endure, contend.
Guts is definitely one of my favorite anime protagonists ever. His character really is beautiful. Especially that theme song 👌 No matter how many times I hear it, I'm instantly sentimental.
In the age of misotheism, Berserk is there for the zoomers in the face of a slight inconvenience and a momentary existential crisis, telling them what Abrahamic religions always said: Life is a struggle and you have to overcome your suffering by bearing it.
True if you are a Christian and you have the holy spirit you are basically like guts and it dwells on you I think spritualality exists and demons are real and accordingly they work through people.
So you’re basically saying “people who struggle must get over it”. Last time a dude said that to kids suffering in palestine and they will get over it like Japan, they were labeled as an asshole.
I love the ending dude. as 23 year old I found my purpose was lifting, strength, and being a nerdy boy. Nobody will ever back your purpose and agree with you but at the end of the day it is your life and spend less time focusing on others being happy and more on your own because its your dream. Struggle on.
Man, when you were talking about finishing highschool and not knowing what to do with life hits so hard because thats exactly the position im in right now, and the message of always moving forward really resonated with me. Never read berserk but i guess i need to now... btw you have really good music taste c:
Always great to hear when something I had to learn resonated with someone else who watches my vids! Definitely read Berserk might just idk change your life or something lol and thank you bro
@InternetPitstop Honestly, Guts life has been abysmal and his existence has made almost everything worse...things would be better if he was never born😅
Working on finding my purpose to keep creating music, fr man this was a fire ass video and made me think about my own struggles I’ve had so far in this existence. Let’s just say You got me thinking 💯🙏🏾
This video touches on the best part of being a creator on TH-cam. When you find interests in life; and you can make content about it; it reconnects you with the people all around the world who are like you. Whether you like it or not, this will bring you face to face with the reality that there are hundreds of thousands of people just like you in this world. You just do not live next to them. I've seen in my own life and in the lives of other creators, how making TH-cam videos can connect us to other humans in a real and genuine way. Not the fake connection as in your friend on facebook; or just reading a comment... youtube does something more than that. It shows us that we are not alone; and that in fact; there are hundreds of thousands of people feeling totally alone just like us. That is rather comforting!
I was really struck by something you said about Guts' struggle. You hear a lot of people say that 'hardship makes you stronger' and it's taken as bad things happening to you actually being good. But the truth is that struggle, not hardship, made you strong. You are not strong because you had to live through tough times. You are strong because you did not give up. Because you continued to try, to struggle, you found purpose, love, etc. idk, it just sounded really profound
Guts is my favorite character of all time. His struggle is the most inspiring thing in any medium of story telling I have ever read. (self story time) I have a metal plate drilled into all of my ribs...most days are tons of pain, yet I have to keep pushing...Its my own brand of sacrifice. I have a good life. A job. A wife. Kids. But not ever day is good. I know its just a fucking manga, but Guts' struggle is one of those things that keep me moving.
Multiple videos of yours have legit touched my heart, that Adult Swim video gave me this terrifying rush of nostalgia that brought me back to that feeling of 3:00 am age 12 still up watching the programs start to repeat. Very relatable point of view in the topics you present, big fan of the channel!
I feel like many people, especially the new generations have similar feelings that you and many of us have gone through. That’s what separates Berserk from all other manga, that existential crisis/dread can be so relatable, especially when you’re older. Great vid man, follow your passion, I believe you’ll be able to live off of it!
Guts is so hardcore yet so simple that it's hard not to like him. He reminds you of your good and bad days and how you got past them even though it felt impossible.
This was too good. We are all flawed but accepting and trying to correct the flaws is what differentiates a struggler from other. Be a Struggler, my friend. This deserves more views, I'll share it with my friend who has read Berserk.
@@InternetPitstop this comment is true i stumbled across this in my recommended and you are already one of my favorite channels, keep doing what you love my man💯
Wonderful video. Super late but i also think that the story gives struggle a lot more air to breathe. The point to me is that choosing to struggle is always a choice. Guts is always choosing to find something he can be proud of, even when nobody would be mad at him for giving in.
Great video. I'm a huge Berserk fan myself, my car is covered in Berserk stickers, I've spent tons of hours creating Berserk art, I have Berserk shirts, I made my own Berserk shirt of all my favorite panels in the manga. I'm really happy someone appreciates Berserk just as much as I do.
Dude, I found this video at the best possible time, I got broken up with by my gf today and I was really struggling with my purpose and seeing you talk about guts journey in the way you do has really reminded me to keep going and keep struggling, thanks man 🙏
This is one of the best Berserk videos I have ever seen. I can feel your passion about this manga so well. I can relate to so many themes you are talking about. The theme of struggle literally saved my live. Thanks for the great video man!
As a younger lad, after watching Berserk, I had a Guts phase where I was brooding, cold, didn't like people touching me, was destroying myself in the gym, like the gym was that sword that I kept swinging to find purpose. It also consequently led me to rethinking my religion and religion in general. I started hating the blind followers of religions and religions themselves. All of that has changed now and just like Guts, I've grown and I'm now tranquil and much more positive.
This video feels really personal :') I appreciate the sentiment and the fact that you decide to open up to us the viewers, I must confess, at some point in life i felt same way, just living life for the sake of it, not really aiming for anything, now im just working on the small projects I promised myself i'll do. thank you again!
This is such a beautiful video and makes me really appreciate the story despite never reading it. (Bit too intense for me haha) It is so inspiring that Guts can not only continue living but also improve himself while living such a difficult life. His existential thoughts I found to be incredibly relatable. But now as I move past these thoughts I think I have a better understanding of everything. That is why I regret to admit that I am struggling on the toilet right now.
@@InternetPitstop I started watching you around a year ago after your "Fashion in Anime" video appeared in my recommended. I subbed a few weeks after that so I just revisit your videos often.
8:20 exactly why I loved the ending of the original Evangelion. It just STOPPED THE SHOW and just decided to unraveled Life and Meaning... Much like how you're just going on living and then just out of nowhere, You Die.
the human experience is too full of scary shit lol and I love when anime tackles those subjects and bro finally ive always heard ppl hate on that og ending but I think its perfect for the show
I recently got into berserk and you explained EXACTLY how I feel about it and how it help me (im mid 20’s no degree and single, and not sure what I want to do with my life) now I’m making my own way and even willing to leave my family to follow my path
i love your videos and i find them deeply relatable i too have been changed by berserk it taught me to live life for moments, and people who define me I live for the sparks
Guts have helped me move on and move through a lot of stuff in my life I read berserk when I was 5th grade and I always related with guts being the struggler for one man to never shake he’s been a role model for my life
“Campfire of Dreams” has always been my favorite chapter of Berserk. There are some obvious contenders but right after I read the chapter and ever since it has been my favorite. Probably the most grounded, real, and human conversation ever and it’s written in a fantasy story between two fictional characters.
I'm still living in my own eclipse, I am Guts but I am Griffith, stuck in the loop never going back or forward, only watching everything I love being destroyed but my own self
As a person who reads berserk 3 full times. And resonate with it SO much. This video hit me with dragon slayer. Berserk Such. A. Fucking. Master. Piece. Thank you for that good video about it. And thanks to Miura sensei for this masterpiece witch will inspire me and many people endlessly.
Somehow Guts feels more human than human. My favorite quote outside the bonfire, is not wanting anything anyone else has, if they grant him anything it’s theirs to give. Gain is earned from struggle and knowing we all struggle, is wrong to simply take and makes me appreciate people more.
You encapsulated so many of our takes on how much Beserk changed our lives that's it's only fair I say thank you bro. It's the best anime or manga ever because of its impact and purpose to me. All of us. It's the will and hope it takes to keep going that we can all use 🌄
It's so awesome to me that Berserk has had so much of an impact on so many people. I randomly found Berserk at Blockbuster when I was about 11 & it's been s huge part of my ilife and personality ever since. Back then literally no one I met knew what it was so I took it upon myself to introduce it to as many people as possible so it's kinda crazy & amazing that so many are able to connect over this once esoteric masterpiece. Keep up the good work.
You explained it so perfectly, your references to dark souls and other media, everything, a very beautiful video, that I can relate too so so so strongly, every sentence had a direct meaning I could fully agree and relate too. I'm really glad I found your channel a bit back, I've watched your other videos too, you're a good soul. I can't express how much I relate to this video lol, berserk in a way saved me too, from wanting to just give In, so much despair, into me now, a struggler. The berserk community, especially the ones that it clicks with like it did with us, it's just amazing, such caring people, were all fighting for our lives, struggling onward.
Those existential dreads always existed , when i was 14 ,16 maybe in another form or i couldn't understand them but they showed up in cycles in different stages of my life ... now i'm 18 and i understand why they exist ... Berzerk is an eye opener in life for me. i wonder what will the next existential dread be centered around and if there won't be any what new will come? I'm not religious but i'm really tempted to give it a chance because the idea of destiny and thinking that there is something planed for me will remove such a huge stone off my back ... of course if i know that i'm only forcing myself and there is no believing i'll stop , for the past 3 years i started trying to be as true to myself as possible so i'm not gonna lie to myself. Berzerk is a representation of life after all with a lot of action involved ... we are born to live ( living means emotions so : anger, love, suffering ,hapiness, all of it) and then leave(die) ...those sentiments can be obtained by having aspiration or objectives ... guts goes from a single kid who has grown in a tough environment to a lone mercenary in search of a new aspiration then he met the band of the hawk, after he thought that the job(his role /objective) was done (Band prospered and Griffith almost got his kingdom) he decided to leave ( He also states that he didn't think that leaving the band would create any problems to the band "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.") ... He went away searching for new objective/life ,nothing happened for a year only to come back on an objective he thought to be completed and find out that everything went bad and now he also lost an eye and a limb ... this thing has caused the feelings of life( Extreme anger,suffering , that's why slan says "It's so beautful") now from not having an objective he became this Desperate hog for revenge and his main target is Griffith and repairing Casca, the rush of feelings goes low after a while ( he stops being so evil to random people and opens up) and start going for a new adventure with friends by his side which create sentiments=life .(spoiler) I wonder what will happen after ( if) he gets casca back from griffith(last chapters) and kills him which . my prediction is that he''ll enjoy the hapiness for a while only to move on to a new dream /objective, maybe toghether with casca and some friends in search for suffering and sentiments , making this a story that will only end with death ( because that's how humans are )... That's why this manga is so appreciated because it's not reaching hapiness and living the rest of your life happy , it's constantly fighting for something till you close your eyes... beautiful manga
He died the day after my birthday and it was thanks to berserk that dark souls finally clicked with me because i saw it as my own personal guts like tale for my character riley hawkin and to this day 3 years ago i advocate and spread the word of miura everywhere i csn so for anyone who needs it and for those that dont, struggle onward and never stop for we are with you shoulder to shoulder and we got each other
Dude your content is definitely great. This one is no exception. If you're unscripted I wouldn't believe it - having your eloquence with your attitude and the willingness to be on camera almost the entire time is really engaging. I am glad you're doing your video essays differently than others. Gonna keep watching. Looking forward to the rest of your growing library.
Bro thank you for making your channel and these videos, since I have discovered you, you have quickly become one of my favorites and I look forward to each upload, plus you convinced me to start reading the berserk manga
feels kind of surreal that I just finished reading Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl and now have watched this video.. there seem to be a lot of parallels regarding purpose, and struggle/suffering and not only continuing on in the face of it, but finding meaning in it. I think I'll give Berserk a try. love your videos, IP
You're welcome bro. Can't believe you actually replied ❤️❤️ Thanks for replying man, keep making more videos like this. You're doing an amazing Job ❤️❤️
The Meaning of Struggle is that you built and grow trough all the adversities that you face in life cause this struggles are the best lessions somebody can have
So I know that this video came out a year ago, but PLEASE keep going. I have been binging on all of your videos and they are so funny, entertaining, and enlightening. also please keep the adult swim bumps. They are dope as hell.
I recently watched and consumed Berserk after i heard so much about it, and absolutely fell in Love with it, your Video just is the Icing on the Cake, loved the series, and your video, thank you for your commitment to this Life, have a good one :)
Damn this is a great video. I just subbed, thanks bruv! Gives me more reason to buy Berserk and also to keep moving on on life. Also, good use of Reborn bro! Love the Kids See Ghosts album take care bro.
hey thanks so much for this! Berserk is amazing ! and me too bro Kids See Ghosts might be a top 3 ye album for me tbh and Reborn is one of my favorite songs ever thank you for this comment
Man I'm 38 and still feel I have no purpose. I'm probably gonna die before I find it or maybe fail to fully realize that I've been living my purpose all this time.
There is literally no purpose though, the only thing that matters is having fun as long as you're not hurting anyone else. What you do to explore your own purpose IS your purpose
Thank you! I always work hard to pick good fits for it too and try to use my body parts to add to the entertainment otherwise why show my body lol gotta use it!
Loved the video and resonated a lot with me cause I’ve also been going through to the ups and downs of figuring out life as a “20 something” It’s crazy how powerful stories can be and how they help us feel like we’re not going through it alone. We all are on our own journeys in a sense.
Thank you for appreciating it despite the obvious influences I’m trying my best add in my own humor to hopefully make it my own in time and thank you for enjoying the video I put a lot of work and heart into so means a lot ! 🌊
Dude. My crush told me that she has been talking to someone else for a few months, thus rejecting me. And it has had me sad for the past few days. This video helped me so much man. Thank you. 🙏
0:56 when u said that I laughed then stopped immediatly realizin I am atm indeed strugglin was funny to be aware of just wanted to share it. I also discovered ur channel today w the DS1 story, u need to play bloodborne I bet u'll love it 2. Tc man, wish u the best.
Your videos are good. I am not super into anime, i can enjoy it but watched a lot more of it when i was younger. Your love for anime comes thorough crystal clear and is very entertaining you deserve all the subs.

Guts' development from edgy angry boi to Dad Guts is one of my favorite character developments in any story from any medium.
I say THE greatest character

Great vid man, follow your passion, I believe you’ll be able to live off of it!
Ur channel didn't just explained guts impact on you (and us) it kept me entertained and amused throughout. thank you for this video 🙏🥹
You and guts both inspire me to keep struggling and fighting for my mission on Earth. Please keep making such videos. You're a rare gem!
Guts is so hardcore yet so simple that it's hard not to like him. He reminds you of your good and bad days and how you got past them even though it felt impossible.
This was too good. We are all flawed but accepting and trying to correct the flaws is what differentiates a struggler from other. Be a Struggler, my friend.
This deserves more views, I'll share it with my friend who has read Berserk.
THIS IS SO GOOD DUDE! 63 SUBS GONNA CHANGE REAL FAST. And trust me man, these videos ARE good. That ending was so sweet. Keep moving forward dude.
Bro really ? damn thank you I worked super hard on this one !
I'm really happy you liked the ending it meant a lot and I hope you keep moving forward too 🌊
@@InternetPitstop this comment is true i stumbled across this in my recommended and you are already one of my favorite channels, keep doing what you love my man💯
@@causality4203 True, he's a guy who loves shadow of the colossus AND berserk. The man of culture. Couldn't be any happier about finding this channel.
Wonderful video. Super late but i also think that the story gives struggle a lot more air to breathe. The point to me is that choosing to struggle is always a choice. Guts is always choosing to find something he can be proud of, even when nobody would be mad at him for giving in.
Great video. I'm a huge Berserk fan myself, my car is covered in Berserk stickers, I've spent tons of hours creating Berserk art, I have Berserk shirts, I made my own Berserk shirt of all my favorite panels in the manga. I'm really happy someone appreciates Berserk just as much as I do.
"See, to live is to suffer
But to survive,
Well, that's to find meaning in the suffering" -DMX.
I love ya videos b.
“We’re all strugglers” is the realest thing I’ve heard in a long time 🙏
best video i’ve ever seen about berserk
just started Berserk a couple months ago and discovered this video just now. New sub, the algorithm has blessed me.
Dude, I found this video at the best possible time, I got broken up with by my gf today and I was really struggling with my purpose and seeing you talk about guts journey in the way you do has really reminded me to keep going and keep struggling, thanks man 🙏
This is one of the best Berserk videos I have ever seen. I can feel your passion about this manga so well. I can relate to so many themes you are talking about. The theme of struggle literally saved my live.
Thanks for the great video man!
Thanks bro I worked real hard on this bro this manga means so much to me I’m glad you could relate to the vid bro
Major Nakey Jakey vibes going on here. Super grateful the algorithm brought me here. You deserve more exposure.
As a younger lad, after watching Berserk, I had a Guts phase where I was brooding, cold, didn't like people touching me, was destroying myself in the gym, like the gym was that sword that I kept swinging to find purpose. It also consequently led me to rethinking my religion and religion in general. I started hating the blind followers of religions and religions themselves. All of that has changed now and just like Guts, I've grown and I'm now tranquil and much more positive.
Damn you went through a legit black swordsman arc phase now you’re the more mature Guts after his talk with the blacksmith that’s dope bro
This is a beautiful video. The second half is my favorite part.
Thank you ! That all came straight from the heart !
Damnit man, two days since I discovered your channel and your content is enough to make a grown man cry.
This video feels really personal :') I appreciate the sentiment and the fact that you decide to open up to us the viewers, I must confess, at some point in life i felt same way, just living life for the sake of it, not really aiming for anything, now im just working on the small projects I promised myself i'll do. thank you again!
This is such a beautiful video and makes me really appreciate the story despite never reading it. (Bit too intense for me haha)
It is so inspiring that Guts can not only continue living but also improve himself while living such a difficult life.
His existential thoughts I found to be incredibly relatable. But now as I move past these thoughts I think I have a better understanding of everything.
That is why I regret to admit that I am struggling on the toilet right now.
the toilet struggle is eternal ! lol also great to see new comments here! were you recommended this video?
@@InternetPitstop I started watching you around a year ago after your "Fashion in Anime" video appeared in my recommended. I subbed a few weeks after that so I just revisit your videos often.
8:20 exactly why I loved the ending of the original Evangelion. It just STOPPED THE SHOW and just decided to unraveled Life and Meaning... Much like how you're just going on living and then just out of nowhere, You Die.
the human experience is too full of scary shit lol and I love when anime tackles those subjects and bro finally ive always heard ppl hate on that og ending but I think its perfect for the show
@@InternetPitstop I don't even see it as perfect. In my eyes it's like a protruding anomoly.
I recently got into berserk and you explained EXACTLY how I feel about it and how it help me (im mid 20’s no degree and single, and not sure what I want to do with my life) now I’m making my own way and even willing to leave my family to follow my path
i love your videos and i find them deeply relatable i too have been changed by berserk it taught me to live life for moments, and people who define me I live for the sparks
Guts have helped me move on and move through a lot of stuff in my life I read berserk when I was 5th grade and I always related with guts being the struggler for one man to never shake he’s been a role model for my life
“Campfire of Dreams” has always been my favorite chapter of Berserk. There are some obvious contenders but right after I read the chapter and ever since it has been my favorite. Probably the most grounded, real, and human conversation ever and it’s written in a fantasy story between two fictional characters.
I'm still living in my own eclipse, I am Guts but I am Griffith, stuck in the loop never going back or forward, only watching everything I love being destroyed but my own self
As a person who reads berserk 3 full times. And resonate with it SO much. This video hit me with dragon slayer. Berserk Such. A. Fucking. Master. Piece. Thank you for that good video about it. And thanks to Miura sensei for this masterpiece witch will inspire me and many people endlessly.
Great video brother! Keep struggling for your purpose!
Thank you. What you’ve said struck me, it made me think it’s what I needed to hear. Thank you
Somehow Guts feels more human than human. My favorite quote outside the bonfire, is not wanting anything anyone else has, if they grant him anything it’s theirs to give. Gain is earned from struggle and knowing we all struggle, is wrong to simply take and makes me appreciate people more.
You encapsulated so many of our takes on how much Beserk changed our lives that's it's only fair I say thank you bro. It's the best anime or manga ever because of its impact and purpose to me. All of us. It's the will and hope it takes to keep going that we can all use 🌄
"Not all are meaningless sword swings" I cried 🫂
my favorite part of this berserk video was when gigachad eren said "keep moving forward" . 10/10 commitment to character. keep making banger vids bro!
Berserk has such amazing artwork like its honestly mindboggling hoh black and white manga panels can look so beautiful
It's so awesome to me that Berserk has had so much of an impact on so many people. I randomly found Berserk at Blockbuster when I was about 11 & it's been s huge part of my ilife and personality ever since. Back then literally no one I met knew what it was so I took it upon myself to introduce it to as many people as possible so it's kinda crazy & amazing that so many are able to connect over this once esoteric masterpiece. Keep up the good work.
Great video man. I agree that you can’t struggle without having hope and I find that comforting.
Just randomly came across this video and wanted to say I love your sense of Humor!
You explained it so perfectly, your references to dark souls and other media, everything, a very beautiful video, that I can relate too so so so strongly, every sentence had a direct meaning I could fully agree and relate too. I'm really glad I found your channel a bit back, I've watched your other videos too, you're a good soul. I can't express how much I relate to this video lol, berserk in a way saved me too, from wanting to just give In, so much despair, into me now, a struggler. The berserk community, especially the ones that it clicks with like it did with us, it's just amazing, such caring people, were all fighting for our lives, struggling onward.
Those existential dreads always existed , when i was 14 ,16 maybe in another form or i couldn't understand them but they showed up in cycles in different stages of my life ... now i'm 18 and i understand why they exist ... Berzerk is an eye opener in life for me. i wonder what will the next existential dread be centered around and if there won't be any what new will come? I'm not religious but i'm really tempted to give it a chance because the idea of destiny and thinking that there is something planed for me will remove such a huge stone off my back ... of course if i know that i'm only forcing myself and there is no believing i'll stop , for the past 3 years i started trying to be as true to myself as possible so i'm not gonna lie to myself. Berzerk is a representation of life after all with a lot of action involved ... we are born to live ( living means emotions so : anger, love, suffering ,hapiness, all of it) and then leave(die) ...those sentiments can be obtained by having aspiration or objectives ... guts goes from a single kid who has grown in a tough environment to a lone mercenary in search of a new aspiration then he met the band of the hawk, after he thought that the job(his role /objective) was done (Band prospered and Griffith almost got his kingdom) he decided to leave ( He also states that he didn't think that leaving the band would create any problems to the band "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.") ... He went away searching for new objective/life ,nothing happened for a year only to come back on an objective he thought to be completed and find out that everything went bad and now he also lost an eye and a limb ... this thing has caused the feelings of life( Extreme anger,suffering , that's why slan says "It's so beautful") now from not having an objective he became this Desperate hog for revenge and his main target is Griffith and repairing Casca, the rush of feelings goes low after a while ( he stops being so evil to random people and opens up) and start going for a new adventure with friends by his side which create sentiments=life .(spoiler) I wonder what will happen after ( if) he gets casca back from griffith(last chapters) and kills him which . my prediction is that he''ll enjoy the hapiness for a while only to move on to a new dream /objective, maybe toghether with casca and some friends in search for suffering and sentiments , making this a story that will only end with death ( because that's how humans are )... That's why this manga is so appreciated because it's not reaching hapiness and living the rest of your life happy , it's constantly fighting for something till you close your eyes... beautiful manga
He died the day after my birthday and it was thanks to berserk that dark souls finally clicked with me because i saw it as my own personal guts like tale for my character riley hawkin and to this day 3 years ago i advocate and spread the word of miura everywhere i csn so for anyone who needs it and for those that dont, struggle onward and never stop for we are with you shoulder to shoulder and we got each other
Dude your content is definitely great. This one is no exception. If you're unscripted I wouldn't believe it - having your eloquence with your attitude and the willingness to be on camera almost the entire time is really engaging. I am glad you're doing your video essays differently than others. Gonna keep watching. Looking forward to the rest of your growing library.
Bro thank you for making your channel and these videos, since I have discovered you, you have quickly become one of my favorites and I look forward to each upload, plus you convinced me to start reading the berserk manga
feels kind of surreal that I just finished reading Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl and now have watched this video.. there seem to be a lot of parallels regarding purpose, and struggle/suffering and not only continuing on in the face of it, but finding meaning in it. I think I'll give Berserk a try.
love your videos, IP
Dear Pit stop this is the 2nd video that I’ve watched from you and I’ve gotta say, I wanna watch more man keep it up
I honestly love your videos
it feels so authentic and genuine
Thanks man that’s what I want for my vids!
You're welcome bro.
Can't believe you actually replied ❤️❤️
Thanks for replying man, keep making more videos like this. You're doing an amazing Job ❤️❤️
@@hdxgamin3918 of course I gotta try to respond to comments! Thank you dude! ❤️
@@InternetPitstop you're welcome bro 🤗❤️❤️❤️
The Meaning of Struggle is that you built and grow trough all the adversities that you face in life cause this struggles are the best lessions somebody can have
So I know that this video came out a year ago, but PLEASE keep going. I have been binging on all of your videos and they are so funny, entertaining, and enlightening. also please keep the adult swim bumps. They are dope as hell.
Thank you my guy!
I recently watched and consumed Berserk after i heard so much about it, and absolutely fell in Love with it, your Video just is the Icing on the Cake, loved the series, and your video, thank you for your commitment to this Life, have a good one :)
Damn this is a great video. I just subbed, thanks bruv! Gives me more reason to buy Berserk and also to keep moving on on life. Also, good use of Reborn bro! Love the Kids See Ghosts album take care bro.
hey thanks so much for this! Berserk is amazing ! and me too bro Kids See Ghosts might be a top 3 ye album for me tbh and Reborn is one of my favorite songs ever thank you for this comment
Man I'm 38 and still feel I have no purpose. I'm probably gonna die before I find it or maybe fail to fully realize that I've been living my purpose all this time.
There’s still time my guy! Keep moving forward
Fuck! I'm almost 33 and i feel the same
@@lamecasuelas2 it's such a horrible feeling.
@@forderoc11 life Is quite a bitch , innit?
There is literally no purpose though, the only thing that matters is having fun as long as you're not hurting anyone else. What you do to explore your own purpose IS your purpose
This editing threw me off first but after 5 seconds i realized it is indeed top tier
I love the way you film videos full body. I don’t know why but it makes it feel cooler
Thank you! I always work hard to pick good fits for it too and try to use my body parts to add to the entertainment otherwise why show my body lol gotta use it!
Give this man a few millions subs already😤
this is the very first video ive seen on your channel and im loving it already
Agh nice I love this video ! I hope you enjoy your stay at this corner of the internet 🌊
@@InternetPitstop thank you, and i have been
The existential crisis bit is so relatable, I hate it… but someday Idk maybe I’ll figure it out.
I'm so glad to see Berserk is still reaching new people.
Loved the video and resonated a lot with me cause I’ve also been going through to the ups and downs of figuring out life as a “20 something”
It’s crazy how powerful stories can be and how they help us feel like we’re not going through it alone. We all are on our own journeys in a sense.
all the *snaps* for you. interesting video as always 🔥
Lol thanks bro 😂
Dude it’s like a little nakeyjakey. How do you only have 1k that’s some bull. Video was top tier.
Thank you for appreciating it despite the obvious influences I’m trying my best add in my own humor to hopefully make it my own in time and thank you for enjoying the video I put a lot of work and heart into so means a lot ! 🌊
This dudes underrated. deserves way more viewers
Just finished berserk about a week ago, it can honestly be a life changing story in a way no other story I’ve read can
This is my favorite video from you. Great humor, really heartfelt, and informative about the show
Thank you! I personally really love this vid myself
Dude. My crush told me that she has been talking to someone else for a few months, thus rejecting me. And it has had me sad for the past few days. This video helped me so much man. Thank you. 🙏
9:25 I agree we all need to find our purpose thank you

Well, Ya made me tear up; So I guess I HAVE to subscribe, I needed to hear this.
Your videos are good. I am not super into anime, i can enjoy it but watched a lot more of it when i was younger. Your love for anime comes thorough crystal clear and is very entertaining you deserve all the subs.
