Except it will always be unfinished. Problem with an epic plot is that it needs to maintain that momentum. The last 3rd of it loses steam and we will never know if the creator was as good at concluding a story as he was building one.

Seeing the old members of Hand of God and the new members I think Gaiseric killed all except Void. Just now I am beginning to understand how powerful that armor is, killing 4 members of Hand of God, I wonder what was the battle and HOW did !!Void! survive
I been saying this everybody said I was trippin I always thought king gaiseric aka sk saw his lover’s last breath and fully gave into the armor and managed to kill the other 4 and when he managed to get to void the armor drained everything he had left
@@TheInfamousWolfnah brother he died coz of overusing that armor it was mentioned by skiere in that chapter where the insane battle of guts vs grunbeld took place
Skull knight theory. It's basically confirmed he is king gaiseric, or was, but what happened to him, and why is he still here? It's also confirmed that he used the berserk armor, so what if it broke him, aged him, killed his nerves and eyes, couldn't see taste or even feel. What if he became an apostle. When he was on the edge of death, sacrificed his kingdom to become a demon. Once he gained sight again the first thing he saw was his wife. Otherwise, how would he be here, unless he survived a sacrifice, if so why would anyone other than him sacrifice his entire kingdom?
it dosent say that you have to be a human leader, only "leader like" qualities, Void could have been a "comrade" to gaiseric with "leader like" qualities like guts. only to be mortaly wounded, in battle or otherwise. and then chose to betray gaiseric instead of dying like a chump, ofcourse he needed a special behelit for that. or maybe void had a dream like griffith, but was jealus of gaiseric/sk kingdom and decided to betray him and sacrifice gaiserics kingdom and his wife/fam. Leaving gaiseric with no kindom and family at all. turning him into Skull Knight.
I've heard of people who can't feel pain a couple times. There's a character on "Haven" (an old Stephen King show) with that problem, and once an hour or so he has to stop and check himself for injuries. You can bleed out without realizing anything's happening, or have serious medical issues (like cancer or other unseen diseases) go untreated because you have no way to know they're there
@astreusastresus198 I think it would be like you shit or puke, but don't get the warning of the stomachache first. Nose stopped up, but you don't feel the sinus headache, stuff like that
It's a real condition called CIPA. (Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis) You can't feel pain, or temperature change. It sucks. Most people with the condition don't make it to their 20s. Even worse. You can't sweat or regulate body temperature. People with CIPA have to avoid getting too hot or else it can literally fry your brain, rendering you retarded. Yes, really.
Thank you for the series of commentaries on the Berserk story. Knowing the detrimental impact the Berserker armor is doing to Guts' body and mind, I ponder whether or not the armor will have Guts succumb to his dark emotions and be consumed. Can Skull Knight or Guts' friends save him from this armor is what I await to see in the future chapters.
The armor is only dangerous to other people when the user is overtaken by anger/rage it’s shown many times methods that guts and shierke use to control the armor. But without spiritual intervention it’s a very dangerous armor to user and all near it. The armor slowly dampens the users senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) and will allow the user to continue fighting through injury until the user bleeds to death
I still say that the GUYVER is the strongest suit of armor in fiction. However the Berserk armor is unique. In the sense that instead of adding to the host. It takes away from the host. That being the ability to feel pain.
@@tavaedenton3338ohhhh buddy look up guyver bioboosted armor it came out in the late 80s but got a remake in the mid/early 2000s it’s really good. The only problem the anime was never finished fully 😭
The berserker armor is perfectly summed up in the first line of Bat Country by A7X. He who makes a beast out of himself Gets rid of the pain of being a man
Gaiserike managed to kill 4 out of the 5 godhand members. Guts only wants to kill Griffith so if guts can master his use of the berserker armour a legendary battle will happen where guts will most likely kill Griffith but maybe the rest of the godhand might either die to guts or kill guts
"The Berserker Armor" is a top 10 Armor-Upgrade in all of fiction. I like thy Muira chose a "Wolf-Like ID" instead of an Asian cliché, like a Dragon. Granted, with Muria being a GOAT fiction writer who has his face on this Hypothetical Mt. Rushmore for the entire genre of fiction. & Him being Asian, he'd get a pass
As crazy as it sounds, I think it’s not meant to be just a dog or just a wolf. As in it’s more so literally just a beast that the reader get’s to label. I believed it was a mad dog, but over time I’ve found for myself that that it can resemble a wolf just as much, because Guts killed all those wolves as a child. That makes it make sense (to me) why the beast would be in that form, from an emotional standpoint. It was one of the most traumatic moments of his life and defining. However, when you view it as a mad dog, that’s very applicable to Guts as well. Does he view himself as some mad dog because of his life? Or is there a deep resonation with the wolves he killed strictly for himself to survive? I love either way tbh. But a mad dog, or a wolf. Or a beast. It’s really reader’s choice and I’m down for all of them. Because the importance in it’s appearance (in regards to Guts as a character) isn’t the appearance itself, it’s what it resembles and symbolizes.
I have theory about the berserker armor I found it weird that the berserker is not really protecting guts from dangerous blows but making guts stronger and faster pushing his body to the limit and eating away at his body. Back in the Middle Ages armor was mostly made to protect the user from harm. I think there’s probably two modes of the berserker armor offensive and defensive. guts is stuck on offensive mode and the berserker armor is requiring more of his flesh and blood in order for guts to use offensive mode. If guts masters the berserker armor and uses defensive mode the flesh and blood it consumed from him will most likely be used to heal his injured body it might actually regenerate his arm and eye back.And if their is defensive mode of the berserker armor it will most likely be gray instead of black like when guts envisioned skull knight as king gaiseric when charlotte was talking about king gaiseric in the prison where Griffith was captured.
I think the armor won’t bring his eye or arm back. As the cannon arm is a plus and bringing his vision back would be erasing the scars the eclipse left on him
@@Esotericwisdom1848 i understand guts lost his arm and eye during the eclipse my take on the berserker armor is it’s not going to give guts original arm and eye I think it’s gonna generate a new arm and eye and it might not look human his new arm and eye. Guts when he dived to save casca from drowning realized his basically fucked in water without an actual arm and considering where back at the boat arc and guts might go berserk and the only way for everyone to be safe from guts is if they push him to the ocean. guts might master the berserker armor when he’s literally sinking to the bottom of the ocean because no one will save him because he might go berserk again if the crew save him from drowning so I think that’s when guts will master the berserker armor guts always preserved in life and death situations and for guts to get back on the boat he will at least need a new arm.

You have it wrong though it says he doesn’t care about the pain anymore not that he can’t feel it. This is an important distinction to make as it shows the true way it works is by amplifying his rage not by just stopping the pain.

Fun fact: That strength capacity threshold our nervous system develops caps you off at approximately 60% of your maximum strength/exertion. As the video mentioned this is to keep our muscles, ligaments, and bones from tearing themselves apart and it can only be surpassed using extreme levels of adrenaline or in this manga, the armor. But yeah not having pain or that subconscious cap means it boosted his strength/exertion Max by 1.67 times it's original amount

I actually permanently injured myself working out in college due to my PTSD causing me to experience a similar psychotic feedback loop to the berserker armor.
@@arvintyree1109, more like trying to bury my rage and pain in weightlifting to cope with the memories after they finally started coming back after one trauma too many after having to put down my dog ten years ago. Watching him die was the last straw and I couldn't repress any more memories. I threw myself into the gym until the strain started taking its toll. I also practiced swordsmanship with a mania so singular that I would put too much stress on my body as I lost myself in the swordplay. My injuries required me to change my fighting style. And I started training until I mastered every last form my style had. But that was six years ago. I don't feel like I was in the headspace to call myself a master until last year. My family coached me through the process of rehabilitating my mind and in turn it refined my skill until my swordsmanship became as natural as breathing. I walk with a cane now, but I'm still determined to master myself. I have to before I'm ready to have children with my wife. I can't raise children if I'm too busy laying down my demons.
@@ericschuller908 let me get this straight , your dog died so you started training to be a master swordman and lost your mind doing it , and now walking with a cane ?? I’m guessing it’s just the over the top way you described it or sum but it sounds bonkers
0:00 okay you showed the wrong footage for that line. The One Ring isn't a random magical artifact that you don't think the consequences of. The entire premise of LOTR is built around how dangerous the Ring is and how to destroy it. It's also as dangerous as the Berserker Armor, if not more.
I love how it's really not an armor. He might as well run nude with sword in hand, that 'armor' doesn't do anything to protect the wearer, only pushing on the endless blodlust. Miura was so many years ahead of his time it's insane.
Is it me or Zodd looks like he feels disturbed at 9:43 like he’s saying “Hold on just hold on. You let him wear that thing?! Even I don’t care and I think its absolutely nuts!”
I knew what Skull Knight was telling Guts and Sherke about the side effects was a foreshadow, but the fact that he's barely scratching the surface of the armor and getting those side effects is... sad man😮
I’m as big a berserk fan as anyone, but I doubt the berserk armor is the “strongest”. It ignores human perception of pain, allowing them to surpass their limits. But at that point it’s still only superhuman. There are still limits to what the human body can do, and yes, while guts is pretty much the pinnacle of strength and removing his human limitations would make him insanely powerful, there are stronger pieces of gear.
What if Guts had the Berserker armor when that female apostle attacked him, does the armor being so durable means that he could take on apostle level attacks?
if Geisarac is SK, then he died with a purpose. leaving him as the Skull Knight. he still has a reason to go on, if guys loses himself here, without a purpose and defeated, then maybe he'd become something like a hollow from dark souls(try to talk about berserk without bringing up DS challenge IMPOSSIBLE) but a much, much more powerful and deadly version
I’m still a noob in the berserk world.. but would it be possible that SK hates (Void)the god hand because it was void (who he was maybe close friends with) that maybe tricked Sk into originally getting into the armour to help conquer the world until it took over and he single handedly destroyed his own empire and all the carnage and blood shed was voids accession to the god hand?
When did it change to Band of the Falchion? It's been awhile since I read the manga, but I keep hearing people in videos refer to the past team as Falchion instead of Hawk. I feel the name did after Griffith's return, but just wondering why no one refers to the original group as Hawk...🤔
I'd say imagine Goku or Vegeta in this but thankfully they'd be too proud for the help. Edit: Also I was always under the impression that Gyseric had the Berserker armor forged after his kingdom fell and he was hell bent on his revenge path with Void.
Depending on how the armor scales shit could get real stupid REAL fast. Assuming it works based on removing the limits of whoever wears it and not just someone human wearing it you'd get a Saiyan without THEIR limits
So question, isn't the berserk armor the same thing that cursed the skull knight? I mean he retained his consciousness because he killed his inner darkness but he was still left as a cursed husk of an existence no? I mean the skull knight makes it utterly clear he died wearing the berserker armor and it was the elder witch who brought him back and bound him up in his current gear in preparation for the God hand so im just curious what is the end result of it actually causing death to the wearer? Guts seems to attempt to balance and keep his evil in check whereas skull knight likely fought to his last drop of blood
Skull Knight died by pretty much bleeding out. The armour will keep you fighting for as long as it can, but if the body can't fight anymore, you die. And considering he was fighting the God Hand, he likely fought his hardest until all his bones were ground into powder and all his blood left his body.
13:00 ok now I’m interested were can I get one of theses suits of Armor, I’m disabled and spend most days in so much pain it blurs my vision and that’s after taking extremely strong painkillers it would be nice to not be in pain if only for an hour or two. Gets to the end of the video and learns all the downsides...... yep I still want one.
I want to see guts potentially master the berserk armor especially when they go to the fairy island to cure casca maybe they could do something to prevent guts from dying to use the armor i also want to see that the "beast of darkness" the dog like demon that influences guts or the dragonslayer to make it possible to damage the god hand
Berserker armor is terrifying because its unstoppable in both the best and worst ways,you can dsmn near die and it will force you to keep killing long after your body is falling apart otherwise It forces you to have all the strength in the world with no limitations and even if you dont want to right anymore you dont get a choice,you are put into a situation where you either fight or die like a bitch on your knees and even after death you might not get to rest If things go too far you arent human anymore,in fact you become a monster far worse than any demon because the slaughter you bring in your wake is by instinct and blood lusting hatred rather than any kind of intelligence
I dug the video. However, calling the Berserker armor the greatest weapon in "anime" history, is a bit of a misnomer. It only appears very briefly in the 2016 Berserk anime. The same anime that is universally hated by the Berserk fandom and for good reason. The "manga" is the one true representation of what the Berserker armor can do. Therefore, it can only be called the greatest weapon in "manga" history.
I really doubt that. I mean based on when Berserk was made, cursed and powerful armors were a thing in anime and FAR more powerful. I mean Guts is cool, but honestly if the Skull Knight can’t beat the Godhand, what? The power of friendship will? If Beserk was honest with itself Guts would watch his party die around him and be forced to sacrifice everyone with the behelit just to either die by Femto (Devilman style) or live as an Apostle that kills Apostles until he’s killed by some plucky adventurer years later. If you’re expecting a happy ending, you’re reading the wrong manga.
Classic sword and sorcery genre conventions, really. Magic/sorcery (read: the powers that the Godhand have) is seen as a shortcut that the cowardly and evil take to power that corrupts them in the end, and swordsmanship (read: the trials that Guts goes through) is the other side of the coin that takes discipline, will and fortitude. On the literary end, it’s about sheer human will taking on power, which is a theme very present in Berserk.
@@hobbsoats2666 damn thanks so much for the insight, and it makes sense too! ngl this made me wanna read berserk more especially now with new chapters coming out! Thanks again for taking time out of your day to explain it thought my comment would’ve just been ignored
Yo Guys What Would Happen if Homelander Got Hit By Guts Sword as He Underestimates Guts due to the Fact he’s Only Human in his Eyes Not Knowing Guts History and Capabilities and the Sword Properties?
I just came here to say that It most definitely ISNT the most dangerous weapon in Anime History. Many things outclass it, and have for literal Years. Gundams Exist. Super Robots Exist. Getter Series Robots are so powerful they quite literally exude energy that effects the evolutionary line of planets.
Can you tell me? who will destroy every enemy including Griffith and others at the end? Is it guts or someone else? I can't understand why Guts is the main character of this anime, while he cannot destroy the enemies.
The short version: Because it's not a shonen manga. Guts is just a human. A strong one, maybe even the strongest, but still only a mere human without any superpower. And Griffith and the Godhand are interdimensional and ungodly powerful beings. Also it's not a story about winning, it's so much more. Killing them is just an almost insignificant part of the story the author wanted to tell. And btw, he killed lots and lots of enemies, only Griffith and the Godhand are still alive. They are the endgoal, where all the strands connect together. You can't just take them out of the story, or it would have ended already a long time ago. The long version: The Berserk manga itself. Read it. And look at it closely. Sometimes a slngle drawing tells a whole small story. The anime can't possibly convey everything that's going on. If you have the guts to do so, that is. It's ridicoulously painful to read sometimes. But fear not, there's lots of Guts in the manga... After reading it, you earned some. Honestly.

@@arvintyree1109, more like trying to bury my rage and pain in weightlifting to cope with the memories after they finally started coming back after one trauma too many after having to put down my dog ten years ago. Watching him die was the last straw and I couldn't repress any more memories. I threw myself into the gym until the strain started taking its toll. I also practiced swordsmanship with a mania so singular that I would put too much stress on my body as I lost myself in the swordplay. My injuries required me to change my fighting style. And I started training until I mastered every last form my style had. But that was six years ago. I don't feel like I was in the headspace to call myself a master until last year. My family coached me through the process of rehabilitating my mind and in turn it refined my skill until my swordsmanship became as natural as breathing. I walk with a cane now, but I'm still determined to master myself. I have to before I'm ready to have children with my wife. I can't raise children if I'm too busy laying down my demons.
@@ericschuller908you have good imagination lol
@@conqeeftador5559, no imagination in what I wrote. Just personal experiences.
@@ericschuller908 let me get this straight , your dog died so you started training to be a master swordman and lost your mind doing it , and now walking with a cane ?? I’m guessing it’s just the over the top way you described it or sum but it sounds bonkers
I wish we knew how strong a healthy guts would be
Yeah, that would be amazing.
@Monsoon__ Sexy huh? :D
0:00 okay you showed the wrong footage for that line. The One Ring isn't a random magical artifact that you don't think the consequences of. The entire premise of LOTR is built around how dangerous the Ring is and how to destroy it. It's also as dangerous as the Berserker Armor, if not more.
I thought his armor just played badass music
I love how it's really not an armor. He might as well run nude with sword in hand, that 'armor' doesn't do anything to protect the wearer, only pushing on the endless blodlust. Miura was so many years ahead of his time it's insane.
I ADORE the Berserker armor.

Is it me or Zodd looks like he feels disturbed at 9:43 like he’s saying “Hold on just hold on. You let him wear that thing?! Even I don’t care and I think its absolutely nuts!”
I knew what Skull Knight was telling Guts and Sherke about the side effects was a foreshadow, but the fact that he's barely scratching the surface of the armor and getting those side effects is... sad man😮
I’m as big a berserk fan as anyone, but I doubt the berserk armor is the “strongest”. It ignores human perception of pain, allowing them to surpass their limits. But at that point it’s still only superhuman. There are still limits to what the human body can do, and yes, while guts is pretty much the pinnacle of strength and removing his human limitations would make him insanely powerful, there are stronger pieces of gear.
Read the title, idiot. It's "the most dangerous weapon in anime history", not the strongest.
@@hieioni3354Woah, calm down. The narrator did call it the strongest at least once in this video
@@johannesstephanusroos4969 What timestamp is it at?
Not so sure that all it does is remove limits. I think there may be something up it’s sleeve.
@@WokeupfeelingCrimson Maybe. Only Daiba and the dwarf blacksmith who made the armor know.
Imagine Kratos wearing this armor oml the danger 😳
Idk he seems like he’s conquered his rage more or less. He would look BADASS tho.
@@dances_with_myself9305 you mean 2020s Kratos? nah, hes just old and nerfed. OG Kratos with 100% of his character would raise hell.
@@gundamdetractor337in a fight with young kratos he old kratos wins
Also I mean he is happier so in the end who wins at life young or old kratos
@@Forsakenruler if he wants happiness and a chill life then he should become a farmer or something. the battlefield got no place for that stuff.
@@gundamdetractor337 that was like in idk grease during those times it was all about war
What if Guts had the Berserker armor when that female apostle attacked him, does the armor being so durable means that he could take on apostle level attacks?
Bruh the berserker armor and Zodd were made for each other. Imagine what he could do bruh
Zodd would never wear it, he wouldn't disrespect the Skull Knight
Give my boy the salmon snake soul
I would love to know why the armor was created to begin with. It may help explain why it was made that particular way.
Berserk Man!!
if Geisarac is SK, then he died with a purpose. leaving him as the Skull Knight. he still has a reason to go on, if guys loses himself here, without a purpose and defeated, then maybe he'd become something like a hollow from dark souls(try to talk about berserk without bringing up DS challenge IMPOSSIBLE) but a much, much more powerful and deadly version
I’m still a noob in the berserk world.. but would it be possible that SK hates (Void)the god hand because it was void (who he was maybe close friends with) that maybe tricked Sk into originally getting into the armour to help conquer the world until it took over and he single handedly destroyed his own empire and all the carnage and blood shed was voids accession to the god hand?
Please use this background music more often in your videos :)
13:39
I don’t think the sensation goes away; I think it’s just ignored.
Yeah, guts essentially stops caring about pain. He still feels it all
Yuske's Power Sphere inside his body literally almost killed him. That shit looked painful.
Armor feels more like venom symbiote to me
There are literally planet destroying guns in anime
Ok,but do they injure it's users and make them berserk killing machines with no regard for their own lives?
1:53 Band of the Falchon days? Wasnt it Band of the Hawk?
Translation differences.
When did it change to Band of the Falchion? It's been awhile since I read the manga, but I keep hearing people in videos refer to the past team as Falchion instead of Hawk. I feel the name did after Griffith's return, but just wondering why no one refers to the original group as Hawk...🤔
Me too
It's just translation differences.
It was always band of the falcon which is why Griffiths city is named falconia. It was jus a translation error that made it band of the hawk
@@CodeeXD Unfortunately, Band of the Hawk sounds better lol
Awesome video 👍🏼
I wonder what would happen if you gave guts a symbiot, maybe a red one
What's the song playing in the beginning? Sounds like a J.S. Bach peice
He also had no armor when he clapped the demon cheeks 😂
Berserker armour won't cure gutz depression... Good to know.
I read all current Berserk chapters 3 times but i entered the video because it has Berserk in title
You missed some censorship at certain points, great video.
Excellent video, youve earned a sub
Berserker armor is nightmare terror
Your Berk videos are goated
berkerk...?
I never knew her name was pronounced sheer-Kay. I always thought It was she-irk.
I'd say imagine Goku or Vegeta in this but thankfully they'd be too proud for the help. Edit: Also I was always under the impression that Gyseric had the Berserker armor forged after his kingdom fell and he was hell bent on his revenge path with Void.
Depending on how the armor scales shit could get real stupid REAL fast. Assuming it works based on removing the limits of whoever wears it and not just someone human wearing it you'd get a Saiyan without THEIR limits
So question, isn't the berserk armor the same thing that cursed the skull knight? I mean he retained his consciousness because he killed his inner darkness but he was still left as a cursed husk of an existence no? I mean the skull knight makes it utterly clear he died wearing the berserker armor and it was the elder witch who brought him back and bound him up in his current gear in preparation for the God hand so im just curious what is the end result of it actually causing death to the wearer? Guts seems to attempt to balance and keep his evil in check whereas skull knight likely fought to his last drop of blood
Skull Knight died by pretty much bleeding out. The armour will keep you fighting for as long as it can, but if the body can't fight anymore, you die. And considering he was fighting the God Hand, he likely fought his hardest until all his bones were ground into powder and all his blood left his body.
You have Some of Anime’s Most Dangerous Weapons:
- The Death Note
- The Golden Arrows
- The Devil Fruits
- And then…There’s Berzerker Armour!
all of those items was created inside an universe, if we count this small scale, i'd say the Ideon is way more dangerous.
13:00 ok now I’m interested were can I get one of theses suits of Armor, I’m disabled and spend most days in so much pain it blurs my vision and that’s after taking extremely strong painkillers it would be nice to not be in pain if only for an hour or two.
Gets to the end of the video and learns all the downsides...... yep I still want one.
basically sir astorias personified
Whoever wears the berserker armour is recognised as HIM throughout history
Is Berserker armor better than Preator suit?
In my head, the armlet of mordiggian is the same. A weapon.
I want to see guts potentially master the berserk armor especially when they go to the fairy island to cure casca maybe they could do something to prevent guts from dying to use the armor i also want to see that the "beast of darkness" the dog like demon that influences guts or the dragonslayer to make it possible to damage the god hand
I'd give my soul for that armor.
So the berserker armor is low-key my ex gf but in IRL
Berserker armor is terrifying because its unstoppable in both the best and worst ways,you can dsmn near die and it will force you to keep killing long after your body is falling apart otherwise
It forces you to have all the strength in the world with no limitations and even if you dont want to right anymore you dont get a choice,you are put into a situation where you either fight or die like a bitch on your knees and even after death you might not get to rest
If things go too far you arent human anymore,in fact you become a monster far worse than any demon because the slaughter you bring in your wake is by instinct and blood lusting hatred rather than any kind of intelligence
Ive always heard it as band of the hawk
The best anime tag team for a fight of stamina would be Guts and Josuke change my mind
Corey is a modern legend!
Thanks man!
best power-up in any manga
I thought that armour was unstoppable with no drawbacks...turns out it's like a Arata armor set from Tokyo Ghoul😂
bro is the yap master
I wonder then if skull knights an apostle
I dug the video. However, calling the Berserker armor the greatest weapon in "anime" history, is a bit of a misnomer. It only appears very briefly in the 2016 Berserk anime. The same anime that is universally hated by the Berserk fandom and for good reason. The "manga" is the one true representation of what the Berserker armor can do. Therefore, it can only be called the greatest weapon in "manga" history.
So basically methamphetamine embodied into armor
And cocaine
You know guts is a badass when 1 on 1 duels don't count as a fight😂
20:06
>Guts' son
I'm sorry, what?
Guts doesn’t have any kids.
Yes, he did. His kid is the Demon Child/Moonlight Boy.
Sort of - it’s kinda messed up…
u clearly haven’t read the manga
@@swagsicknation He probably hasn't, yeah.
@@wilberwhateley7569 Yep, all because of Femto/Griffith.
Guts will never be able to win a real 1v1 with the god hand
What’s the name of the sound track that plays
From which chapter does this guy starts explaining?
I really doubt that. I mean based on when Berserk was made, cursed and powerful armors were a thing in anime and FAR more powerful. I mean Guts is cool, but honestly if the Skull Knight can’t beat the Godhand, what? The power of friendship will? If Beserk was honest with itself Guts would watch his party die around him and be forced to sacrifice everyone with the behelit just to either die by Femto (Devilman style) or live as an Apostle that kills Apostles until he’s killed by some plucky adventurer years later. If you’re expecting a happy ending, you’re reading the wrong manga.
Just came to me if the Godhand of Gaiseric was a different setup they are able to be killed.
How many bones did he break and how did he heal so quick
Here’s what I think; don’t care what it does, I’d still wear it if I was given the chance.
guyver armor or Gundam suit will do
I dont get it, why do the villains get easy power ups but guts has to do all the heavy lifting and suffering?
Classic sword and sorcery genre conventions, really. Magic/sorcery (read: the powers that the Godhand have) is seen as a shortcut that the cowardly and evil take to power that corrupts them in the end, and swordsmanship (read: the trials that Guts goes through) is the other side of the coin that takes discipline, will and fortitude. On the literary end, it’s about sheer human will taking on power, which is a theme very present in Berserk.
@@hobbsoats2666 damn thanks so much for the insight, and it makes sense too! ngl this made me wanna read berserk more especially now with new chapters coming out! Thanks again for taking time out of your day to explain it thought my comment would’ve just been ignored
Yo Guys What Would Happen if Homelander Got Hit By Guts Sword as He Underestimates Guts due to the Fact he’s Only Human in his Eyes Not Knowing Guts History and Capabilities and the Sword Properties?
his might not count but i think the unicorn gundam clears
not anything from akira or evangelion?
COming right up!
I just came here to say that It most definitely ISNT the most dangerous weapon in Anime History. Many things outclass it, and have for literal Years.
Gundams Exist.
Super Robots Exist. Getter Series Robots are so powerful they quite literally exude energy that effects the evolutionary line of planets.
Can you tell me? who will destroy every enemy including Griffith and others at the end? Is it guts or someone else?
I can't understand why Guts is the main character of this anime, while he cannot destroy the enemies.
The short version:
Because it's not a shonen manga. Guts is just a human. A strong one, maybe even the strongest, but still only a mere human without any superpower. And Griffith and the Godhand are interdimensional and ungodly powerful beings. Also it's not a story about winning, it's so much more. Killing them is just an almost insignificant part of the story the author wanted to tell. And btw, he killed lots and lots of enemies, only Griffith and the Godhand are still alive. They are the endgoal, where all the strands connect together. You can't just take them out of the story, or it would have ended already a long time ago.
The long version:
The Berserk manga itself. Read it. And look at it closely. Sometimes a slngle drawing tells a whole small story. The anime can't possibly convey everything that's going on. If you have the guts to do so, that is. It's ridicoulously painful to read sometimes. But fear not, there's lots of Guts in the manga... After reading it, you earned some. Honestly.
