I remember watching infinity war and shouting out “Thats the eclipse!” in the theater. Cause there’s SO many parallels. small powerful item that transports the character to a new spooky place, shallow lake, item requires sacrifice and oh yeah, the massive eclipse with a red sky. We made it Miura sensei
I think the ultimate testament to Berserk's incredible level of influence is the fact that Berserk became *so* popular that we made the middle ages a real thing.
Another possible inspirations: + Goblin Slayer: being literally the expanded version of The Evil (troll) Horde part of Millennium Falcon Arc. + Ubel Blatt: the similar case on rise & fall of the character through betrayals. + Devil May Cry series: A bit of a stretch but worth a look. Basically rivalry between "brothers" where MC Dante wield giant sword, use firearms, & Vergil is much more graceful cold design by wielding a katana. + Shin Angyo Onshi: The similarity of themes & plots are astounding to the point that some people said it's Korean Manhwa's Berserk. Although I would argue that it's a rare case of remarkable coincidences. Such similarity are like the Faustian Horror theme, the betrayals between brothers, broken unforgiving realm, rise & fall of a kingdom, nice mix of historical & folklore & fantasy. This manga/manhwa also arguably could give us the glimpse of Berserk ending (as the series actually ended properly). + Dragon's Dogma: some of the design stuffs in the game are straight up inspired by Berserk, while also the game itself have literal Berserk guest contents in it (Berserker armor & White Falcon Armor).
Radahn is more inspired from Zodd. As for which character in Elden Ring inspired from Grunbald. I’ll pick Rykard. Since you can see Grunbald human face on dragon’s head.
As influential as Berserk is there are plenty of different things that inspired the creation of Berserk. In fact, there is actually a whole book on the subject called Berserk: With Darkness Ink that explains many of the numerous works that led to the creation of Berserk. Definitely worth checking out if you are a fan.
@@Shagamaw-100 ya, Miura said Mad Max was a direct inspiration in one of his interviews. After I read that, I couldn’t “un-see” the fact that Guts looks exactly like young Mel Gibson, with the same revenge character motivations. And then there’s also the Millennium Falcon Star Wars Easter eggs too. But I don’t even want to go into those with the state that franchise is in now. Embarrassing lol.
The stone swords may be inspired by Berserk, but I think they were inspired by the same stone swords you can see in Norway. Given this game takes inspiration in nordic and celtic mythology, it can make sense.
Berserk in inspired DMC 1 Dante's personality and the red orbs look like behilits. Dante's brother vergil also has a giant sword and wears armor and his name is Nero Angelo black angel so even grasping at straws it seems inspired.
@@gharm9129 it's a stated fact that hideky kamiya say's Dante's personality in DMC 1 was inspired by guts and everything else like idk big swords in the 90s or hell magic red orbs would be foreign concepts. Not to mention how fucking big nelo Angelo's sword is
@@princexerakugo7335 Sure it is. Lmao personality? smdh Also big swords were always a staple in Japanese, Chinese and Indian media, it shows the character is strong. *it exists OMG!111 this is literally inspired by Berserk - You
In elden ring (lowkey spoiler) when rykard pulls out the blasphemous blade from the snake mouth total skull knight vibes down to the meat sword with lil moving body parts on it
GUNGRAVE!!! Ahhh that is one of the best Berserk like anime I have watched so far. Warhammer 40k has ALOT of Berserk like similarities within its immense amount of lore, and has been around for just as long as berserk, if not longer. Warhammer has been around since 1983, but specifically 40k started in 1987. Honestly if you are craving a Berserk styled space opera set in the future, but on an INSANE galaxy sized scale, then 40K is the thing. Over 500 books, Comics, video games, table-top war games with miniature building, and a wealth of lore that is constantly expanding. It is the next best thing to Berserk in terms of grim-dark fantasy full of dark gods, planet devouring demons, massive violent wars, and all other types of themes found in berserk.
So sad that there was no Dragons Dogma in the video. The armors and weapons of both guts and Griffith were in one version of the game, the low level wizard staff is definitely berserk inspired, Mercedes has resemblance to Farnes, Gransoren and it's duke and mistress have similarities to Charlotte and her dad and his lust for her, there's even a wholeass cut scene, there are r@P€ ogers, I could go on...
Dragons Dogma is so Berserk related it hurts. There’s so much. Like the Mistwood, having similarities to lost children and sherike (probably spelled that wrong). Although not super similar, Grigori marks the Arisen by taking their heart much like the brand. Playing the game during the night causes harder more ferocious foes to attack the player. To me Mercedes is more similar to Casca but I see where you’re coming from about Farnese. I think my favorite one is that the literally have a Guts preset character in the game along with the way the warrior class is presented pretty much being a walking Guts. That’s some of the ones I found along with the ones you’ve already listed. But that game as I said is basically Berserk but we aren’t allowed to call it that and have to make some changes lmao.
Just finished the Golden age arc in the manga and the 97’ Anime it’s such a good series I wouldn’t be surprised if it inspired a lot more than what’s known to the public
Rykard I think is a direct reference to Grunbeld in is apostle form with the head of a man laden with crystal embedded in the body of a snake or drangen in the case of berserk
I dont know if you've noticed, but the scene where comander erwin stands atop the corpses of comrades is very similar to the scene where griffith stands atop the corpses of his comrades.
In the beginning of the first dark souls game. There is a character called Rickert, who is a blacksmith. He is a direct reference to Rickert from Berserk
That second pose was a fanart you compared to the abysswalker and pretty sure the prisoner isn’t a reference cuz that’s based off how some prisoners looked back in medieval times I think just like in that one movie man in the iron mask
The mangaka that created demon slayer also made two spin of books one being how a flame breathing was used to kill a lower moon demon that looks like guts in his berserker armor
A thing souls veterans would recognize that people new to elden ring wouldn't is that technically elden ring is set in the dark souls/ demon souls/ bloodborne universe, and literally the only connection is Patches, a recurring character in all the games (which is proof the universes are connected)
But we saw the scarlet rot back in Ariandel and Dark Souls III finished off with us giving the Painting Woman the blood of the Dark Soul. The Elden Ring is the Darksign transformed. Did you play the game with your eyes closed?
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses that's kinda rude, but I see your point, it just didn't connect with me that the rot was the same thing. After beating Elden Ring tho i believe it to (obviously) be the time after the souls series comes to an end and they moved into the painted world (hence the amount of medieval presence) and would eventually turn into Bloodborne over time. but i believe patches found the painting, went into it (and Elden Ring) and eventually ended up in Bloodborne. kinda crazy how long hes canonically lived in this series
@@boricgrain1942 I'm pretty sure you're reaching at this point. Idky you ppl can't enjoy the games and lore without trying to make everything meta, it's pretty obvious ( from interviews even with the devs) only DS series is connected and the rest are not. Zoomers aren't the brightest I guess.
Also both André and godo say don't die Another big reference is the kiln of the first flame in ds3, there is a thing in the sky that is identic to the eclipse
How about Final Fantasy 7? The design of Sephiroth seems inspired by Griffith, a very beautiful man with long white hair who used to be an admired soldier and becomes the main antagonist.
Not only that, Sephiroth and 97 Griffith are also played by Toshiyuki Morikawa. Same with Takahiro Sakurai who plays Cloud and Griffith (Golden Age Films and 2016)
It's insane just how many things are inspired by Berserk. From characthers, to plot and even some tropes. Cloud and Sephiroth and Aerith. Sora and Riku and Kiari. They all share similarities between Guts, Griffith and Casca.
Also if anyone payed close attention to the Melania boss fight, she transformed into the rot goddess which in my opinion seem to resemble the time Griffith became the 5th God of the god hand
I'd like to add few ones : - BLASPHEMOUS : that game's logo has a striking ressemblance to the mark of the sacrifice - HOLLOW KNIGHT : protagonist is a somewhat sinister swordsman and the final boss is a white-haired deity with high corruption potency. Sacrfices occured to. - ADVENTURE TIME : A lost baby swiftly adopted growing up as a skilled swordsman, a strong bond with his sword and a dog figure, facing horrors with a smile on his face, a complicated love life, who lost a limb then got a metal prothesis and dad is a jerk... - DOROHEDORO : the only known weapon able to harm "gods" is too heavy to be wielded by the average mortal
You forgot to mention that the prisoner class default weapon is a thrustung sword which of course a reference to Griffith's fighting style where he mostly thrust his rapier/saber (?)
berserk was inspired by the one and only fist of the north star kenshiro, gotta admit guts can’t compare to kenshiro. i feel like kenshiro would judge guts for what he did to casca knowing what she’s been thru in her past
Black Clover has a fair amount of Berserk inspirations. Biggest one is Asta first sword, Demon-Slayer sword. Being a big, wide, black blade that Asta wields with ease given his training
I think general radhan is supposed to be based off grunbeld, not only because of their gigantic stature and fiery red hair. Both were considered great warriors at the height of their (mortal) lives. Both were subjected to the lowest points of their humanity (grunbeld becoming an apostle and radhan losing his sanity to scarlet rot) but their main qualities remain, which was the urge to stay a warrior. Even after losing their respective humanity they still honoured the rules of battle.
If FROM asked to use the Berserk licence, they'd get it right away, the issue is FROM wants complete agency over what they're working on and if you're making a Berserk game, the owners may want certain requirements to be met and FROM would feel obligated to honour those requests; There are Berserk games out there which are ok, they're not great, but they're still ok. Truth is, what Miyazaki wants to do both he and his team are unsure if the Berserk IP owners would allow him to do, also copyright is kind of a bigger deal in Japan than it is here and also Executives and IP owners have complete agency over works over there too. Which means Miyazaki himself would have little say over how the Berserk game is presented if the owners decide to change things, so rather than ask, FROM does their own thing while still being like Berserk. Unfortunately since the creator of Berserk has now passed away, the IP is how in the hands of his best friend, it is in good hands, but everyone involved is unsure as to what the wishes of the original creator would of wanted in this case, which means for at least a while, there likely won't be anymore good Berserk video games, until everyone involved feels comfortable with them being made again. But again, FROM likely won't ever get a licence to make a Berserk game, but you never know. Corporations hold a lot of power over creatives in Japan, so it is always something that gets in their way and they simply accept it as the status quo. You literally need to be in charge of the situation to effect change there.
there is one swordsman in Goblin Slayer which looks exactly like Guts and also has a greatsword/claymore/collossal sword. edit: so i almost forgot that GS doesnt give people names, but hes still calles 'Heavy Warrior'
