Which is...probably chapter 363. Right after meeting his son...sheathing the gigantic blade of the Dragonslayer, seeing the flowers around the Child of the Moon. Yet, only eye, look only to the child, the center of focus, the child. If a solar eclipse brings destruction, what about the crimson Lunar Eclipse?
@@redblade5556 bruh I was thinking the same thing. Guts and Casca might be liberated and free from his curse? All I know is the moonlight boy is tied to Griffith/Femto and is also Guts’ and cascas child whether revenge is possible is still wildly unknown.
@@mathewoliva1033 Probably yes, probably not. You do know that in a some time, godhand members’ got to be sucked by the abyss. So...that’ll happen during a lunar eclipse? And the lunar eclipse will...reset everything?
@@redblade5556 there’s too much material to theorize from. The only thing I truly know is that history has been repeating itself in this story more than once. We see Guts defy the laws of causality but he struggles in this battle against fate. Given the endless possibilities to how this magnificent story will end it can literally be anything, since the moonlight boy has ties to it all I can only imagine it’ll end with him being totally relevant, either way there has to be another side to this evil god hand, like is there a heaven in this world of Berserk?
Femto is The idea an astro being He ends when desire the Idea will complete. Once completed the Femtos lose on his own. And become now Void Did you people saw how similar Femtos and Void looks like.
because Griffith’s goal wasn’t to live as a powerful being, and instead was to have his own kingdom, I could definitely see his defeat be more social. Like he gets cancelled or something
i feel like miura is making the most used clichée a reality by showing us that *the real strugglers were us, the readers, all along, waiting for the next chapter* edit: well it seems in the end i was too self-centred. it was miura, himself, who was the true struggler in this timeline. thank you for creating not only your, but also the whole of manga's, magnum opus. this piece of fiction touched so many souls that it almost seems like the *hand of a god* sincerely all your fellow strugglers
one piece will never end, just look at naruto or dragon ball... that ofc will add a new layer of shit on what could have been a marvelous manga, but turned instead into a pegi 12 soap opera. look at the pilot 1st chapter, and look at now...
ive read somewhere that theres a theory where he will survive but lose everything his powers his followers and the illusion he created of himself therefore he will have to live exposed to everyone and with his failure --> reminder to his former self always winning and getting what he wants
Yeah, most people strongly disliked the boat section of the story. I think it's mainly because it took so long to be finished(Almost a decade) ,but for me. As a person who finished the manga yesterday. It wasn't really a problem. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. With the Sea God and all that.
I have no idea how it'll end, but I've always had a feeling that Griffith would go after Guts and Casca when she regains her memory, especially if she chooses a peaceful life with Guts. Griffiths ego would be too strong, he'd HAVE to go and get rid of them, as he wouldn't be able to live with the knowledge that they care so little about him.
"The story of how I got sent to a different world where I am a student in a high school with Miura as a headmaster and every student as idolmaster girls and I must choose between a rape victim, a child, a religious fanatic and my childhood crush"
My theory has always been Griffith will be “de powered” in some way and left to rot as Guts walks away from him, similar to how he left the band of the hawk the first time. Griffith just being “A stone in his path”
I imagine maybe something akin to Pride in FMA Brotherhood, where his ego gets shattered and is reduced to nothing more than an infant. Maybe he gets asimilated by Guts and Cadca's childs personality or something and lives on as a normal human kid, like an inverted scenario of Griffith's "well this might not have been so bad" vision before he sacrifices where he was living a normal life married with Casca, and Guts as their son. I can't think of any worse fate for him like that.
That would be extremely cliché though. Muira doesn't tend to back peddle in that way either. There are still three wild cards that could make the ending wildly diverge: Rickert, The Beast in Darkness and Moonlight Boy. The story is a bit beyond the Golden Age now.
I do wish to see the end of berserk if casca gets her sanity back, reunites with guys, both have a son, and they took down femto and turned him back to Griffith and kill all 4 under world gods and destroy the gods hand apostle world.
I feel like the biggest mistake people make is to assume Berserk is a revenge story. It’s not a revenge story, but it’s also not a critique of revenge stories, it’s a love story. There’s a reason why Miura once said that Berserk was more of a Shojo than a Seinen
@speedpaints afaik, he said that in shojo emotions drive the plot and the world's logic, while in shonen/seinen the plot drives emotions, or something along those lines? and that in that sense, Berserk is more like a shojo? don't quote me on that tho, it's really just what I heard others say that Miura said lmao (and adding onto that original comment, I personally see Berserk as a story about hope and what it means to be human, more than just a love story)
@speedpaints I don't think Miura was joking about that. It's simply the way how he sees the genre of Shojo. Taken out of the definition of being for young girls, a lot of Shojo manga/anime are more emotion driven with the power of friendship/love prevailing. That is how Miura sees berserk, just because it isn't literally for young girls doesn't mean it isn't a shojo. The full quote from the interview: - I actually have this personal theory that Berserk is really a shojo manga, but I take it then that it wouldn’t come as much of a surprise for you to hear that? Miura: Makes sense to me. Shojo manga is all about expressing every feeling powerfully, and in that sense it’s not as contrived as manga for men. Men’s manga tends to come off as more calculated to sell well, whereas shojo manga are somehow just… fluffier. I realize that’s not a very descriptive word, but anyway, that might be something I have in common with shojo manga. -You have fluffiness in common? Miura: I guess what I mean is, like, in order to express emotions, logic comes second, whereas it’s usually the other way around.
IMO Griffith played himself. Femto is trying to pretend he's human again in order to live out Griffiths desire of ruling a kingdom (ironic as he likely no longer feels attachment to the human emotions since his rise to Godhandom). Femto pursues Griffiths dream by endearing apostles to the humans and creating a utopia for the humans. However, by the apostles very nature, they cannot see humans as anything more than cattle; lesser forms and sacrifices for the birth of a new apostle. The eventuality of the human subjugation by the apostles will give the Godhand what they've always wanted: a kingdom of their own above man. They used Griffith's wish for a kingdom to rule in order groom him into a leader of man for their own end. The kingdom Grifith is building isn't his own, but a product of causal manipulation. His dream lead the egg of the king to him so it could pervert it. He's not just a monster, Griffith is a chump. I think we'll see a moment where the dark penumbra of the gleaming Falconia is revealed. Not one eclipse event but countless smaller ascension events. And Femto will not care, not because I doesn’t want to, but because no longer can care about anything human.
Mem Fadey2k no, but the dream of ruling a kingdom of man made him the choice for the egg of the king. Godhands are perversions of the people they once were. Griffith was simply a mold to cast Femto from. They are the same person but Femto no longer has any worldly emotions or attachments, which means he basically finds no joy in seeing his dream realized and no loss at it’s perversion. He is simply a tool now.
I haven't been able to succinctly word my feelings on Griffith before this, thanks. The real meat of the difference between Griffith and Guts isn't that one is one of the most vile villains ever and the other is ostensibly a hero, nor that one is a demon-god and the other is (probably) entirely a human being. It's that one is an absolute chump to the waves of causality, and the other furiously swims against it. "The struggler" archetype reminds me of "the prisoner" in TES. It's something deeply ingrained in our instincts that makes us empathize.
99% the moon child will play the major role in Griffith's death. Griffith's realization that his dream is empty , a selfish one, hat he sacrificed everything for nothing meaningful, that he's alone on that throne ,would be the greatest revenge. i always imagine a scene where Griffith tells guts to kill him and guts says he's not worth it and walks away
What's funny is that even though Griffith gave everything away to become a god, he isn't even half the man Guts is, Griffith secretly looked up to Guts due to his Struggler nature and that's the reason he was the only he considered a friend, because that man literally only lived off ambition. Griffith on the other godhand, threw everything away in the promise of achieving his dream, a bitter and worthless deal as it was literally handed to him and now he feels nothing he would otherwise feel as a human The virgin birdman is doomed to walk this Earth as the Chad black swordsman strides close behind
Not true. Griffith i'd say had no choice, otherwise going straight fo his dream. The hole situation is a consequence of griffith's life story. Everything he managed to get through his life was in chase for his kingdom. This dream was his life and he could not think of anything else. Also he was given an opportunity to obtain everything he wanted at the moment of absolute weakness and misery. Sure, its bad few of his friends died, just as dozens of them before. Band of Hawk's goal was to build Griffith's kingdom, so they done it.
Guts the chad? Sure if that's how you wanna see him even though he got spurned by casca after everything he went through. Griffith the virgin? He got his own kingdom and sleeps with the princess all the time, but sure just throw all logic right out the window.
there's a feeling that this manga will never have an ending, Miura will take it to the grave. And weirdly enough...it's fitting, however horrible it is not seeing the character get what they deserve (edit) I really wish my statement was not right. It hurts to see Kentaro Miura pass away this soon. His works will forever be remembered and celebrated. RIP Kentaro Miura, may your legacy live on and continue to inspire people
A little bit of trivia and fan theory around Casca's name choice: The Mouros were dark skin people who lived all over Europe, in Portugal they lived in the mountains, in villages like the one Casca used to live, that could explain her not Anglo-Saxon name. Casca in Portuguese translates to shell, so her name could be either a reference to someone that tries to put an external tough image, or shell, to shield itself from the hardships of the world or even a foreshadowing for her "empty shell" state.
Not quite wrong too...remember when he encountered Griffith for the first time and watching Griffith during his bath that reaction wasn't quite straight 😏
I thought that aswell. I wish the author didn't get stuck so much on this story but i cant really blame the guy.Hes has been working on the story for 30 years.
I could see Griffith "winning" and having formed the second great empire. However everyone around him finds out about what he did and despises him. Griffith deep down longing for Gut's friendship is denied and deeply regrets killing the band of the Hawk and betraying Guys and Casca. Gut's lives a happy life with Casca and friends while Griffith sits on a lonely hollow throne by himself regretting his choices.
This would be crazy interesting but the only thing that makes it impossible is that Griffith can't feel at all anymore. At least Femto cannot feel and has no humanity.
@@SKBROOSE Isnt there a moment in one of the recent chapters where Griffith returns as the moon boy, and laments/reminisces about the Band of the Hawk, and is straigh up shedding tears over this? like he doesnt understand why he's crying, but he just is?
@@a_peridox I thought he was only crying because the moonlight child was crying due to him knowing that he was transforming into Griffith. When guts started to attack the tears were gone
I know Berserk will go down as a time-defying masterpiece, Miura being a modern Shakespeare, but it feels like those reading it a hundred years from now will have a lacking experience for not having the absolutely soul-crushing, morale-annihilating struggle of waiting to see whether the next chapter will be greater than or as great as the chapters before. The readers of the future won't have to live with the terrifying apprehension of Miura passing before he finishes his great work. They will have the entire work before them. We would gladly give our flesh if it meant for Miura to STOP PLAYING IDOLMASTER FOR TEN GODDAMN MINUTES.
holllllke123 Would you care to support your claim with evidence, or are you the type to toss out claims as if they're truths? Also, while you're at it, please show me some good manga, by your definition.
@holllllke123 I really like Berserk, but I agree with you. Comparing it to the likes of literary masterpieces over the course of modern human history is definitely too much. However, I do believe Miura will leave his lasting mark on the manga industry for the next generations to come, he arguably already has. I would personally attribute that more to his style and aesthetics, though. The type of visual storytelling he employs is strong, but there are Mangaka out there that manage to do more with their medium (Inoue with Vagabond, Asano with Goodnight Punpun etc.)
I’d like the idea that after Griffith is defeated he returns to his crippled self before the eclipse. Doomed to live out his punishment in that state for the rest of his life. Remember, Apostles/Spawns revert back to their true selves after they die. Who knows, maybe after the Godhand and Griffith are defeated they will return to their true pitiful selves, maybe they don’t have to die to change back.
I personally think a cool ending would be if the moon kid or whatever their name is, or Casca's demon baby is Femto's downfall. Like, Femto unintentionally being his own downfall as like "the other god hand deem him no good because he did something for his own personal gain" would be poetic as hell.
This is much closer to what I've been speculating I'm convinced that somehow Griffith will be from his body maybe Count's behelit belongs to the Moonlight Child and he sacrifices Griffith maybe Guts uses it instead and meets the idea of evil and if Griffith is exorcized I'd prefer Casca be the one to kill him as she's suffered most because of him
yeah there will be a happy end he will isekai into one piece, join luffy's crew, find the one piece, realize the treasure is the idolmaster series, sacrifice everyone and turn into meiura who will play idol master till the end of times
The whole point of guts story is to not be the slave a fate. If guts is the true idea of the ubermensch then he will find way to the idea of evil and find a way cut it like the Gordian knot. I think he will see that he is the foundation of his peoples future and this will win favor of something unforeseen. For the opposite to the idea of evil is the reality of good.
Except in the end Guts will go to hell anyway along with Casca because they are both forever branded. A miracle isn't just going to happen that all apostles and evil in the world of Berserk will be cleansed especially not if it's just about "killing Griffith/Femto". With all that being said, Rickert is so damn lucky.
@@xaagripha7326 As was stated -- Guts has got whole history behind him. He saw the golden age, saw the eclipse, he met the skull knight and takes his teachings (whether he wants it or not), he saw the dread of apostoles and the dread of fanatics. I agree that we will see some answer 'cause if not then all this journey -- in vain
I dont think there's anything for Griffith to return to. He was always a selfish, unloving, childish psychopath who never accepted a "No" for an answer. He was always a monster, Godhand or not.
Exactly. I don't comprehend how people can think he is still good somehow? Maybe it's my thinking as a Catholic. Ughh I donno. Griffith...Femto. same person to me.
Seriously, are u gonna paste this comment in every Berserk video you come across with just because the first time it was posted it got many likes from Griffith haters?
Remember that vision Griffith had where he was crippled and Casca was taking care of him? What if that's how Guts' story ends (maybe a little less crippled) but the difference being that he is truly happy. Also bonus points if he becomes a farmer EDIT: If Miura's ending never gets revealed in any form, then this is my official head-canon ending RIP Kentaro Miura
I've always wanted that scene within the ending. IMHO i'll be a great call back to the eclipse and further contrast guts and griffith. That the simple life that griffith hated is more than enough for guts and caska.
@@ardenorcrush649 Yes, because it would be poetic for a man who has lived his entire life, centered around death and killing because it's all he ever knew. To finally settle down with someone he loves and take up a peaceful practice which nurtures life. Plus it's a reference to Vagabond and Vinland Saga where two powerful warriors also became farmers
@@christianangel2421 more like i could kill you , but i'll let you live with the fact that everything you gave up to achieve power was for nothing and you'll never reach my level
Yeah I have this thought too. And the fact that he might be more composed rather than full of rage. Griffith was shaken by how resolved and calm guts was during the snowy fight, and I think the point of the berserker armor is to show guts first losing himself in rage but slowly over time finally being able to instead change it to resolve a d determination. Rather than feel the hurt and suffering every time he sees Griffith, he instead sees an existence that is not worth living for.
To be honest... i want to see one thing in ending of Berserk: Griffith reverting back to his crippled, pre-Eclipse state... ...and maybe then losing his head.
i had an end where Daiba devises a master spell to stop godhand and its dark master at the expense of whole magic. when the ritual takes effect, apostles become feeble elders, Puck become a breeze and Femto is reversed to his mutilated Griffith self. The rest is trapped in astral world as the Interstice once again disapears.
Dude. I've had revenge fantasy dreams about this. However. Perhaps....after defeating the god Hand. I would simply like Griffith to give up. Die in a hole somewhere. Let Guts be in peace
But gutzu dies heroically in the last battle giving isidro the chance to drive his dagger in to griffizus perfect girly face.And then.....and then, girfizu and gutzu will come to meet each other in the afterlife where they will reach an understanding in regards to one another and learn to forgive, only to end up having hot steamy home erotic sexxu as spectral beings only schierke-chan can see.Which she immediatly joins in on,along with her boy toy isidro-kun.
@@chonged1183 so? Do you think he didn't leave anything if he knew he was sick and could die? He made a new manga specifically for his assistants to learn to draw better.
@@AnonymousForPPL i would not take on berserk if i were his assistants. No matter how great they are, the amount of work and fan hatred they will get will be insane.
Sad thing is no matter what, berserk will never have an end that is universally loved, we’ve had decades of hype and each hiatus makes us want more and more hoping we reach the castle in the sky that contains the berserk ending, honestly it’s like a horror film like how the monster is always scarier when you can’t see it and you use your imagination to fill in the gap of what is scariest to you, personally I’m just hoping for an ending where Gutts and Casca get a happy ending together, and Griffith gets dragged into hell cause he tries going beyond the god hand and (if it’s made canon again) tries to take over the Idea of Evil, Griffith always strived to be above everyone else, he wasn’t just a mercenary he was a mercenary leader, he couldn’t be a soldier he had to be a noble, then a general, then a king, and then a Demi god, so really all that’s left is god
@@maadtee6281 Based on the previous 40+ volumes, Berserk has not had a single "happy ending" for anyone. The best people can typically expect is survival. The world they live in is just as harsh and cruel as when the series started. I also doubt Guts will survive to the end of the series. Casca or the Moonlight Boy are more likely and The Godhand are still untouchable. Plus there is still the alteration of reality caused by the Fantasia event. That plotline is more likely to be the focus of the resolution.
@@h20cola74 Miura still made the next chapter but it will be released next month the same time as the Berserk museum event is held. Also maybe a continuation will be announced or Miura’s final will for his work. Who knows? We just have to wait and see
The way I see it ending is that Guts will have a duel with Griffith but guts' efforts prove in vain until guts actually manages to mortally wound griffith. Feeling excruciating pain for the first time in so long, Griffith loses his barring and goes all out to completley decimate guts leaving him as nothing more than a streak of blood and organs smeared on the ground. With Griffiths kingdom witnessing not only Griffiths true nature but also guts doing the unthinkable; he made god bleed. The God Hand then restrains griffith after losing his composure. But from that one injury Griffith lost everything. He lost his reputation as a savior for his own kingdom, embarrassed himself in front of the Godhand, and humanity now having hope that he and the Godhand CAN be defeated. So the last chapter fast forward to a grown up rickert now a powerful warrior leading of his own army with skullknight and a reincarnated guts becoming what skull knight is but in the berserker armor. The last panel ends with them beginning their last charge against the God Hand. Think of it like this. Image a flea dedicating its life to kill a fully grown human being. That's basically the comparison of power between Guts and Griffith. How would this person feel if a flea actually mortally wounds him. The pain alone would make anyone lose their composure and flip out. How do you think other will look at this person flipping out over an injury he recieved from A FLEA! It would be pretty damn embarrassing and all your credibility goes down the drain. that's why I think that's a good way to present Guts' victory over Griffith. The whole manga made it clear what guts is up against and if it ended in a generic duel as equals it would have came out as anticlimactic. It make one wonder, why couldn't guts have done that sooner. So the key to defeating a being that's strength is greater than this plain of existence is to swing your sword at it really hard?
I think your comparison with flea is wrong . Because godhands were humans at one time , they now see themselves as superior but they all were humans and it was their human experiences who made them god hands .
The kinship between Skull Knight and Guts is kind of nice. Them being a reflection of one and other. A similar moral that Kratos and the boy follow. Where one is trying to teach the other not to make the same mistakes as they live in regret of their past and live with the consequences of their actions. Even Zodd mentions it to ol' skully when he dons the Berserker Armour mentioning he'd have him walk the same demented, twisted path as him.
Yeah, reading berserk knowing english and portuguese was like "??" who would name the characters like "shell" and "coragem" ops "casca" and "guts". In portuguese version of mangá her name was changed to "CasKa" I guess to make it feel less strange. "although i kinda like her name as Casca
Still think Griffith and Guts will meet again if not soon. Because the mages of the island is a big threat to his power, they know who he really his and they probably don't want to join Falconia.
Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura, Berserk will truly go down as one of the greatest stories ever told. Thank you for writing this masterpiece. U will be missed 🙏
My favorite griffith theory is that to bring the godhand to rule over our existence, they will demand a MUCH larger sacrifice, i.e. Griffith's kingdom. Doing so would betray his dream, causing him to do the ole switcheroo on the godhand. Idk if that even makes much sense, but I like the thought of it.
I always thought it would end with Guts giving up on revenge. Where he has the ability to take revenge but he doesn't and it actually allows for a break from the cycle.
That would be so cheesy and cringe. I fully agree that Guts should not allow his hatred and revenge to destroy him as a person, he should learn to control his emotions. But if the ending is some cheesy "i no longer hate griffith or feel the need for any revenge" that would be terrible, stale and cliche. We saw the same crap in Vinland Saga and thats when the series became boring
The image of guts holding Griffith’s head and just looking miserable is just sad, it’s the moment of realization that what’s done is simply, done and guys realizing nothing will bring back what is lost.
I swear to god if Berserk ends with Gutts "being the bigger person" and giving up on his quest for revenge, I will be furious. I'm tired of this modern trope. The vapid "the real x is the x we found in our journey" is getting old. Let there be an actual resolution for once. I don't care if there's a sad ending, you can't just make Griffith an all powerful corrupt dictator and just dismiss that in the end. That force has to be confronted. I've waited for too long in my life following this story for it to end in such a hokey way.
It's not that all those things won't be addressed or confronted, but rather that I and many others just doubt Guts will deliver a killing blow to Griffith. Short of the brand and armor he's closest he's ever been to normalcy. Likely there'll be a call to action soon that'll foreshadow what the final conflict will be.
I mean regardless Grifith has to go down, I don't think it'll be just guts getting the blow in and we call it a day, I do think it'll have to be a team effort, one thing is for sure, the battle will be legendary
I hope guts wont chase griffith to seek revenge,i hope griffith will be defeated or somthing by someone other than guts or in some different way than killing him physicly. I think it would be in guts character now to move on from revenge thing and live a peaceful life but the brand would prevent him from doing that so he must do somthing about it
There is a point of possible conflict still left for Griffith vs Guts/Casca. His son is intertwined with Griffith's physical manifestation in reality. The fact that Moonlight boy has multiple times now done the same as Casca, pulled Guts away from his rage/berserker armor, added to the way he acts around Casca/Guts and his actual appearance leaves it pretty clear that he is their son, linked with Griffith during the events of the fake eclipse that made it so that Femto/Griffith could incarnate. He seems to be tied to the Astral World tho, while Griffith seems to be able to live his messiah-complex to it's fullest in the human realm. How that conflict will shape itself is really unpredictable tho, but considering that Griffith even feels emotions related to the child's when he sees Casca/Guts again after the fake eclipse, he's 100% the key to Griffith getting his comeuppance. In 358 Griffith ends the chapter looking at the full moon/spirit tree roots, which according to Schierke is when astral beings can roam freely, then he sees that his hair is starting to darken and disappears. His existence is 100% tied up to the moonlight boy's, which means that Guts can "end his journey" by slaying the kid and getting revenge. The issue comes in the form of the Moonlight boy most likely still being powerful as fuck and on the emotional side to the fact that he is his and Casca's son. Imo Guts will have to face the idea of taking revenge while killing his kid and sacrificing his future with Casca or forfeiting his goal for Casca/the kid, which is what I think he will choose. However, at the end of the day the world is still a Griffith-ran dystopia, so it might be for the better if the kid dies. It's also possible SK tries to kill the kid once he makes the connection.
Even as Casca was in her "simple" form, she was drawn to Griffith due to her sensing her child. Once the moonlight boy visits restored Casca (inevitable) she will become obsessed with getting her child back or die trying. And well...this is Berserk. They've been foreshadowing this the whole time. Guts isn't driven by revenge anymore. As it is right now, he wouldn't sacrifice his son in order to get at Griffith. He's just not motivated enough to do so. BUT, Guts has the beast inside WAITING to take over right? What's the ONLY thing that could make him go berserk, and sacrifice his new family? Loosing Casca. I think Casca is murdered by Griffith, while trying to get her son back, Guts literally looses his mind and becomes consumed with revenge, the behelit activates, and in his grief, gives into the beast finally, and he sacrifices everyone in order to gain the power of a godhand to finally kill Griffith. I see only little Schierke surving. Along with the moonlight boy, who with Schierke's help, Guts even his new demonic form, manages to save once he kills Griffith. Guts has to sacrifice/give up his body in order for the boy to have a physical vessel and thats how Guts dies. Schierke, with the brand still on her, becomes the new struggler.
honestly though imagine the shitstorm we would get if Moonlight boy where to revert to Griffith at a place like Elfhelm, i seriously doubt Falconia wouldn't immediately turn to confront them at full force
After reading the recent chapters, our hopes are once again crushed... Guts still could not even scratch Griffith, he couldn't do a single thing to stop him. And he taken Casca away from him again, literally this time😔
Griffith won’t have a happy ending, tbh I would love for guts to achieve exactly what he wants....only to realize he didn’t want it as much as he thought, or rather he didn’t expect to pay whatever it is he’ll have to pay in order to achieve it
What do you mean by "guts to achieve exactly what he wants" ? I think guts matured as character in a way that he isn't seeking revenge that hard, he just wants his party and casca to be safe
Yeah, given Guts' progress, it doesn't really seem likely that he'll end Griffith; at least, not alone anyway. I feel like Griffith represents soulless and selfish ambition and how empty that can become. Guts path seemed just to be alive and not die, now it isn't. It's more than that now. It reflect real life of purposelessness to finally having purpose and progressing as a mature human being. He seemed like he'd end up putting his inner beast to rest and leaving Griffith and being with Casca and the gang. This is like every heroes story. The character lives, loses, grows, accepts, progresses, and eventually matures not to be simple minded anymore but instead a whole human being who may even master their shadows. Its so palatable because it relates to the human condition so well. Forgiveness is good for the living but is hard to achieve. Genuine love also is good but hard to maintain and crushes the soul when it's taken. Only those who persevere will taste the best life has to offer; or, the messages.
I think that end might be something like this: Guts finds out moonlight child is his own child but doesnt know that he shares the body with Griffith, Guts and Casca grow strong relationship with their own child, They find out that their own child shares the body with Griffith, Moonlight child is the only way to kill Griffith with his ego because of the weaker state of the body and idk some magic stuff, Guts and Casca has too choose if they want to kill their own child with Griffith or just forget about everything and end the journey for a quiet life since Griffith doesnt care about them anymore. What do you guys think?
notice how griffith saved casca due to the influence of the moonlight boy. i wonder if slowly griffith just loses his entire body itself to the boy and has to watch as he is being raised by the two he hates. feeling as powerless as he did when he was in his bandaged state. but this time there is no behelit to save him
It could end another way. Guts has a Behelit and only those who possess the qualities of a demon will come to possess it, in the end he will have to choose between giving up his humanity to exact revenge or letting go and passing on.
I think that we will stay a while in the island, at least until Casca can look Guts in the face without breaking down. And then they will go after Griffith, not for revenge, but perhaps in an attempt to bring back their kid. You know, somehow expel femto from his body. Quite frankly i don't see either one of them seeking him for revenge, and the fact that Griffith is walking around on their kid's body is exactly the type of bombshell that would get them moving. And they could find out on the island, either by the spirits, or spells or just skull knight telling them.
I don't think we will be at the island long (as readers). Narratively there isn't much for Guts to do there. And that's why the Skull Knight is there. And possibly why the Moonlight child may show up
@@Ash_Wen-li Agreed. Probably a small timeskip. At the very lest they cannot leave until casca can behave normally around Guts, not only because that would make traveling pretty much impossible, but if she can't face Guts, she most certainly freezes in front of a apostle... Witch is not exactly ideal.
I just caught up with the story Ive been reading all day I have faith that the story will end in my lifetime I'm now obsessed with it from the illustration to this build up the ending has to be satisfying
I’m really late but Griffith is not only a man with the dream of his own kingdom. He also wants that people see him getting there and admiring him. If he would be killed now he would be remembered by the majority of people as THE Savior. The person who gave the lost ones a Home and protection. I think deep down The biggest fear of Griffith is to be hated. If the world would know the truth about what happened in the eclipse and would see his true for and what he is cable of humanity would likely reject him. The real torture for Griffith is to be looked down upon. To go from the pure Savior that he is trying to be so badly to the Monster that he truly is. Doomed to live forever, hated by everyone. He would be off to easily if he would be killed. I really want him to life so that he can suffer for eternity.
I think that Miura may try to end the story with a message on giving up revenge for something greater, either Guts will come to the realization that the world is better off with Griffith/Femto or he may be faced with an ultimatum to choose to follow his warpath but he would also lose Casca in the process. Ending the manga with a message on revenge and violence kinda like how the prologue to Vinland saga echoed a similar sentiment with its ending.
When you fell sad, remember, Miura confirmed that guts would have a happy ending.
Which is...probably chapter 363.
Right after meeting his son...sheathing the gigantic blade of the Dragonslayer, seeing the flowers around the Child of the Moon. Yet, only eye, look only to the child, the center of focus, the child. If a solar eclipse brings destruction, what about the crimson Lunar Eclipse?
@@redblade5556 bruh I was thinking the same thing. Guts and Casca might be liberated and free from his curse? All I know is the moonlight boy is tied to Griffith/Femto and is also Guts’ and cascas child whether revenge is possible is still wildly unknown.
@@mathewoliva1033
Probably yes, probably not. You do know that in a some time, godhand members’ got to be sucked by the abyss. So...that’ll happen during a lunar eclipse? And the lunar eclipse will...reset everything?
@@redblade5556 there’s too much material to theorize from. The only thing I truly know is that history has been repeating itself in this story more than once. We see Guts defy the laws of causality but he struggles in this battle against fate. Given the endless possibilities to how this magnificent story will end it can literally be anything, since the moonlight boy has ties to it all I can only imagine it’ll end with him being totally relevant, either way there has to be another side to this evil god hand, like is there a heaven in this world of Berserk?

My theory has always been Griffith will be “de powered” in some way and left to rot as Guts walks away from him, similar to how he left the band of the hawk the first time. Griffith just being “A stone in his path”
That would be some impactful ending
Griffith does need to be relinquished but so does the idea of evil.
The point of guts whole story is not to be the slave of fate.
I imagine maybe something akin to Pride in FMA Brotherhood, where his ego gets shattered and is reduced to nothing more than an infant. Maybe he gets asimilated by Guts and Cadca's childs personality or something and lives on as a normal human kid, like an inverted scenario of Griffith's "well this might not have been so bad" vision before he sacrifices where he was living a normal life married with Casca, and Guts as their son. I can't think of any worse fate for him like that.
I'm happy how tight-knitted the Berserk Community is. You, Spired, The Masked Man, and zegodhand are the GODHAND of berserker-tubers haha
That would be extremely cliché though. Muira doesn't tend to back peddle in that way either. There are still three wild cards that could make the ending wildly diverge: Rickert, The Beast in Darkness and Moonlight Boy. The story is a bit beyond the Golden Age now.

I feel like the biggest mistake people make is to assume Berserk is a revenge story. It’s not a revenge story, but it’s also not a critique of revenge stories, it’s a love story. There’s a reason why Miura once said that Berserk was more of a Shojo than a Seinen
Each to his own I guess but this couldn't be more further than the truth
come on srx. it's about revenge nd that what we love about it
@speedpaints afaik, he said that in shojo emotions drive the plot and the world's logic, while in shonen/seinen the plot drives emotions, or something along those lines? and that in that sense, Berserk is more like a shojo? don't quote me on that tho, it's really just what I heard others say that Miura said lmao (and adding onto that original comment, I personally see Berserk as a story about hope and what it means to be human, more than just a love story)
@speedpaints *again* , I wasn't the one who made that up, go and complain to Miura if you have to complain to someone lmao
@speedpaints I don't think Miura was joking about that. It's simply the way how he sees the genre of Shojo. Taken out of the definition of being for young girls, a lot of Shojo manga/anime are more emotion driven with the power of friendship/love prevailing. That is how Miura sees berserk, just because it isn't literally for young girls doesn't mean it isn't a shojo.
The full quote from the interview:
- I actually have this personal theory that Berserk is really a shojo manga, but I take it then that it wouldn’t come as much of a surprise for you to hear that?
Miura: Makes sense to me. Shojo manga is all about expressing every feeling powerfully, and in that sense it’s not as contrived as manga for men. Men’s manga tends to come off as more calculated to sell well, whereas shojo manga are somehow just… fluffier. I realize that’s not a very descriptive word, but anyway, that might be something I have in common with shojo manga.
-You have fluffiness in common?
Miura: I guess what I mean is, like, in order to express emotions, logic comes second, whereas it’s usually the other way around.
If you want a Berserker with an end, read Fist of the North Star, it restores you soul and makes your heart kinder.

IMO Griffith played himself.
Femto is trying to pretend he's human again in order to live out Griffiths desire of ruling a kingdom (ironic as he likely no longer feels attachment to the human emotions since his rise to Godhandom). Femto pursues Griffiths dream by endearing apostles to the humans and creating a utopia for the humans. However, by the apostles very nature, they cannot see humans as anything more than cattle; lesser forms and sacrifices for the birth of a new apostle. The eventuality of the human subjugation by the apostles will give the Godhand what they've always wanted: a kingdom of their own above man.
They used Griffith's wish for a kingdom to rule in order groom him into a leader of man for their own end. The kingdom Grifith is building isn't his own, but a product of causal manipulation. His dream lead the egg of the king to him so it could pervert it. He's not just a monster, Griffith is a chump.
I think we'll see a moment where the dark penumbra of the gleaming Falconia is revealed. Not one eclipse event but countless smaller ascension events. And Femto will not care, not because I doesn’t want to, but because no longer can care about anything human.
Mem Fadey2k no, but the dream of ruling a kingdom of man made him the choice for the egg of the king. Godhands are perversions of the people they once were. Griffith was simply a mold to cast Femto from.
They are the same person but Femto no longer has any worldly emotions or attachments, which means he basically finds no joy in seeing his dream realized and no loss at it’s perversion. He is simply a tool now.
I haven't been able to succinctly word my feelings on Griffith before this, thanks. The real meat of the difference between Griffith and Guts isn't that one is one of the most vile villains ever and the other is ostensibly a hero, nor that one is a demon-god and the other is (probably) entirely a human being. It's that one is an absolute chump to the waves of causality, and the other furiously swims against it. "The struggler" archetype reminds me of "the prisoner" in TES. It's something deeply ingrained in our instincts that makes us empathize.
Femto is Part of the transgender agenda
But then why raping caska if he doesn't care?
@@BoneDryEye do we know they're perversions of it? Or do we just assume it?
99% the moon child will play the major role in Griffith's death. Griffith's realization that his dream is empty , a selfish one, hat he sacrificed everything for nothing meaningful, that he's alone on that throne ,would be the greatest revenge. i always imagine a scene where Griffith tells guts to kill him and guts says he's not worth it and walks away

#Griffithisoverparty
What's funny is that even though Griffith gave everything away to become a god, he isn't even half the man Guts is, Griffith secretly looked up to Guts due to his Struggler nature and that's the reason he was the only he considered a friend, because that man literally only lived off ambition.
Griffith on the other godhand, threw everything away in the promise of achieving his dream, a bitter and worthless deal as it was literally handed to him and now he feels nothing he would otherwise feel as a human
The virgin birdman is doomed to walk this Earth as the Chad black swordsman strides close behind
True true
Not true. Griffith i'd say had no choice, otherwise going straight fo his dream. The hole situation is a consequence of griffith's life story. Everything he managed to get through his life was in chase for his kingdom. This dream was his life and he could not think of anything else. Also he was given an opportunity to obtain everything he wanted at the moment of absolute weakness and misery. Sure, its bad few of his friends died, just as dozens of them before. Band of Hawk's goal was to build Griffith's kingdom, so they done it.

A little bit of trivia and fan theory around Casca's name choice:
The Mouros were dark skin people who lived all over Europe, in Portugal they lived in the mountains, in villages like the one Casca used to live, that could explain her not Anglo-Saxon name.
Casca in Portuguese translates to shell, so her name could be either a reference to someone that tries to put an external tough image, or shell, to shield itself from the hardships of the world or even a foreshadowing for her "empty shell" state.

Griffith deep down longing for Gut's friendship is denied and deeply regrets killing the band of the Hawk and betraying Guys and Casca. Gut's lives a happy life with Casca and friends while Griffith sits on a lonely hollow throne by himself regretting his choices.
This would be crazy interesting but the only thing that makes it impossible is that Griffith can't feel at all anymore. At least Femto cannot feel and has no humanity.

@@a_peridox I thought he was only crying because the moonlight child was crying due to him knowing that he was transforming into Griffith. When guts started to attack the tears were gone
I know Berserk will go down as a time-defying masterpiece, Miura being a modern Shakespeare, but it feels like those reading it a hundred years from now will have a lacking experience for not having the absolutely soul-crushing, morale-annihilating struggle of waiting to see whether the next chapter will be greater than or as great as the chapters before. The readers of the future won't have to live with the terrifying apprehension of Miura passing before he finishes his great work.
They will have the entire work before them. We would gladly give our flesh if it meant for Miura to STOP PLAYING IDOLMASTER FOR TEN GODDAMN MINUTES.

holllllke123 Would you care to support your claim with evidence, or are you the type to toss out claims as if they're truths? Also, while you're at it, please show me some good manga, by your definition.
@Fizz this guy likes maplestory and skyrim you know his taste is trash lol
@holllllke123 I really like Berserk, but I agree with you. Comparing it to the likes of literary masterpieces over the course of modern human history is definitely too much. However, I do believe Miura will leave his lasting mark on the manga industry for the next generations to come, he arguably already has. I would personally attribute that more to his style and aesthetics, though. The type of visual storytelling he employs is strong, but there are Mangaka out there that manage to do more with their medium (Inoue with Vagabond, Asano with Goodnight Punpun etc.)
I’d like the idea that after Griffith is defeated he returns to his crippled self before the eclipse. Doomed to live out his punishment in that state for the rest of his life. Remember, Apostles/Spawns revert back to their true selves after they die. Who knows, maybe after the Godhand and Griffith are defeated they will return to their true pitiful selves, maybe they don’t have to die to change back.
you sure? Did wyald revert? I remember him just dying and being afraid of his soul mixing with the maelstrom
@@likeaboss9512 the band even comments like "wtf he has a old dude?what?"
Honestly it would be enough of a punishment to leave Griffith broken in his old form.
They keep Griffith in a shack and Moonkid’s playtime with him consists of kicking him in the stomach really hard
that would be the perfect ending for me.
I personally think a cool ending would be if the moon kid or whatever their name is, or Casca's demon baby is Femto's downfall. Like, Femto unintentionally being his own downfall as like "the other god hand deem him no good because he did something for his own personal gain" would be poetic as hell.
Damn, this was close because the child is Griffith's humanity, which will probably be Femto's downfall
This is much closer to what I've been speculating
I'm convinced that somehow Griffith will be from his body
maybe Count's behelit belongs to the Moonlight Child and he sacrifices Griffith
maybe Guts uses it instead and meets the idea of evil
and if Griffith is exorcized I'd prefer Casca be the one to kill him as she's suffered most because of him
That would actually be dope
Plot twist:guts kills femto then femto,to try save his skin,try’s to take the child’s body.
Thank you. What would be the point of Berserk if things weren't different this time. I think there will be loss, but Guts will find peace in the end.
yeah there will be a happy end
he will isekai into one piece, join luffy's crew, find the one piece, realize the treasure is the idolmaster series, sacrifice everyone and turn into meiura who will play idol master till the end of times
The whole point of guts story is to not be the slave a fate.
If guts is the true idea of the ubermensch then he will find way to the idea of evil and find a way cut it like the Gordian knot.
I think he will see that he is the foundation of his peoples future and this will win favor of something unforeseen.
For the opposite to the idea of evil is the reality of good.
Except in the end Guts will go to hell anyway along with Casca because they are both forever branded. A miracle isn't just going to happen that all apostles and evil in the world of Berserk will be cleansed especially not if it's just about "killing Griffith/Femto". With all that being said, Rickert is so damn lucky.
@@xaagripha7326 As was stated -- Guts has got whole history behind him. He saw the golden age, saw the eclipse, he met the skull knight and takes his teachings (whether he wants it or not), he saw the dread of apostoles and the dread of fanatics.

I dont think there's anything for Griffith to return to. He was always a selfish, unloving, childish psychopath who never accepted a "No" for an answer. He was always a monster, Godhand or not.
Exactly he never really cared about anyone expect maybe guts but even then he still acted like he owned him he was always out for himself

Yeah I have this thought too. And the fact that he might be more composed rather than full of rage. Griffith was shaken by how resolved and calm guts was during the snowy fight, and I think the point of the berserker armor is to show guts first losing himself in rage but slowly over time finally being able to instead change it to resolve a d determination. Rather than feel the hurt and suffering every time he sees Griffith, he instead sees an existence that is not worth living for.

i had an end where Daiba devises a master spell to stop godhand and its dark master at the expense of whole magic. when the ritual takes effect, apostles become feeble elders, Puck become a breeze and Femto is reversed to his mutilated Griffith self. The rest is trapped in astral world as the Interstice once again disapears.

Dude. I've had revenge fantasy dreams about this. However. Perhaps....after defeating the god Hand. I would simply like Griffith to give up. Die in a hole somewhere. Let Guts be in peace

In a strange twisted way, it’s fitting that berserk will see no end
Yeah... its kind the perfect ending for a dark story like Berserk, eternal struggle, no ending

@@chonged1183 so? Do you think he didn't leave anything if he knew he was sick and could die? He made a new manga specifically for his assistants to learn to draw better.
@@AnonymousForPPL i would not take on berserk if i were his assistants. No matter how great they are, the amount of work and fan hatred they will get will be insane.
Sad thing is no matter what, berserk will never have an end that is universally loved, we’ve had decades of hype and each hiatus makes us want more and more hoping we reach the castle in the sky that contains the berserk ending, honestly it’s like a horror film like how the monster is always scarier when you can’t see it and you use your imagination to fill in the gap of what is scariest to you, personally I’m just hoping for an ending where Gutts and Casca get a happy ending together, and Griffith gets dragged into hell cause he tries going beyond the god hand and (if it’s made canon again) tries to take over the Idea of Evil, Griffith always strived to be above everyone else, he wasn’t just a mercenary he was a mercenary leader, he couldn’t be a soldier he had to be a noble, then a general, then a king, and then a Demi god, so really all that’s left is god
Hopefully it doesn't get a GoT conclusion cause that sucked but breaking bad like conclusion
One way or another, it isn't going to be a "happy ending" for anyone. Because that goes against the entire narrative of the series.
@@pious83 I doubt that I bet it would be bitter sweet ending where a broken guts is being looked after by Casca
You are right. It's very hard to do an ending that people will accept.
@@maadtee6281 Based on the previous 40+ volumes, Berserk has not had a single "happy ending" for anyone. The best people can typically expect is survival. The world they live in is just as harsh and cruel as when the series started.
I also doubt Guts will survive to the end of the series. Casca or the Moonlight Boy are more likely and The Godhand are still untouchable. Plus there is still the alteration of reality caused by the Fantasia event. That plotline is more likely to be the focus of the resolution.
"Berserk is a story of hope"
God I never thought I'd hear something like that...
Griffith did not just allow his family to be slaughtered, he led them to it.
Berserk is long. Berserk is strong. Berserk is here to get the friction on.
Berserk is throbbing ... No it's not an apostle
"Only if Griffith showed up in front of them, which we see he has no interest in doing" ohhh boy he will regret that one
I mean, this will probably be the definitive ending for me. It’s not the official, but it’s a peaceful and calm one. Sadly we will probably never know

We just have to wait and see
The way I see it ending is that Guts will have a duel with Griffith but guts' efforts prove in vain until guts actually manages to mortally wound griffith. Feeling excruciating pain for the first time in so long, Griffith loses his barring and goes all out to completley decimate guts leaving him as nothing more than a streak of blood and organs smeared on the ground. With Griffiths kingdom witnessing not only Griffiths true nature but also guts doing the unthinkable; he made god bleed. The God Hand then restrains griffith after losing his composure. But from that one injury Griffith lost everything. He lost his reputation as a savior for his own kingdom, embarrassed himself in front of the Godhand, and humanity now having hope that he and the Godhand CAN be defeated. So the last chapter fast forward to a grown up rickert now a powerful warrior leading of his own army with skullknight and a reincarnated guts becoming what skull knight is but in the berserker armor. The last panel ends with them beginning their last charge against the God Hand.
Think of it like this. Image a flea dedicating its life to kill a fully grown human being. That's basically the comparison of power between Guts and Griffith. How would this person feel if a flea actually mortally wounds him. The pain alone would make anyone lose their composure and flip out. How do you think other will look at this person flipping out over an injury he recieved from A FLEA! It would be pretty damn embarrassing and all your credibility goes down the drain. that's why I think that's a good way to present Guts' victory over Griffith. The whole manga made it clear what guts is up against and if it ended in a generic duel as equals it would have came out as anticlimactic. It make one wonder, why couldn't guts have done that sooner. So the key to defeating a being that's strength is greater than this plain of existence is to swing your sword at it really hard?
I think your comparison with flea is wrong . Because godhands were humans at one time , they now see themselves as superior but they all were humans and it was their human experiences who made them god hands .
both good points
Hey, this would actually be a great ending
I think the name "Casca" is related to the portuguese language, where "casca" means shell. Empty shell. Empty Casca.
it also literally translates to "helmet" in russian
And it translates to "(she is) falling" in Italian
Didn't get what you mean at first, but lold when I did
Кекд хард так сказать
lol im on the the dream chapter. Youre definitely right there
Apparently, it is to break in Spanish as well. Not sure if it is slang from where I am from though.
The kinship between Skull Knight and Guts is kind of nice. Them being a reflection of one and other. A similar moral that Kratos and the boy follow. Where one is trying to teach the other not to make the same mistakes as they live in regret of their past and live with the consequences of their actions. Even Zodd mentions it to ol' skully when he dons the Berserker Armour mentioning he'd have him walk the same demented, twisted path as him.
Fun fact: Casca in portuguese means shell. She indeed became a shell of her former self.
Yeah, reading berserk knowing english and portuguese was like "??" who would name the characters like "shell" and "coragem" ops "casca" and "guts". In portuguese version of mangá her name was changed to "CasKa" I guess to make it feel less strange. "although i kinda like her name as Casca
In italian too
@@droik_dub. never heard casca for shell in italian

Manga or anime
“Guts was fury, anger, synonyms.” This makes the sentence much better than saying etc.
Still think Griffith and Guts will meet again if not soon. Because the mages of the island is a big threat to his power, they know who he really his and they probably don't want to join Falconia.
Hey boys, Chapter 361 is coming June 26th :) I want a juicy review from daddy godhand
A month hiatus, but hey not much of a wait this time :).
Berserk will have a happy ending just like those massage parlors with the chicks who look like Griffith
Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura, Berserk will truly go down as one of the greatest stories ever told.
Thank you for writing this masterpiece. U will be missed 🙏
The P in Berserk stands for peace. The L for love. The H for hope
Berserk will not end now. RIP miura 🔥🔥
My favorite griffith theory is that to bring the godhand to rule over our existence, they will demand a MUCH larger sacrifice, i.e. Griffith's kingdom. Doing so would betray his dream, causing him to do the ole switcheroo on the godhand. Idk if that even makes much sense, but I like the thought of it.
Well berserk really won't end now. Rest in peace Miura we shall struggle in your name.
Rest in peace without pain Kentaro Miura and as the late and great Rick May has said " You're were real good son, maybe even the best."
I always thought it would end with Guts giving up on revenge. Where he has the ability to take revenge but he doesn't and it actually allows for a break from the cycle.
That would be so cheesy and cringe. I fully agree that Guts should not allow his hatred and revenge to destroy him as a person, he should learn to control his emotions. But if the ending is some cheesy "i no longer hate griffith or feel the need for any revenge" that would be terrible, stale and cliche. We saw the same crap in Vinland Saga and thats when the series became boring
@@xycxo8335 no he still stops Griffith, but it isn't for revenge. That's what I mean
@@nothomelessonyoutube he still KILLS griffith, just not for revenge. That is better
The image of guts holding Griffith’s head and just looking miserable is just sad, it’s the moment of realization that what’s done is simply, done and guys realizing nothing will bring back what is lost.
I swear to god if Berserk ends with Gutts "being the bigger person" and giving up on his quest for revenge, I will be furious. I'm tired of this modern trope. The vapid "the real x is the x we found in our journey" is getting old. Let there be an actual resolution for once. I don't care if there's a sad ending, you can't just make Griffith an all powerful corrupt dictator and just dismiss that in the end. That force has to be confronted. I've waited for too long in my life following this story for it to end in such a hokey way.
It's not that all those things won't be addressed or confronted, but rather that I and many others just doubt Guts will deliver a killing blow to Griffith. Short of the brand and armor he's closest he's ever been to normalcy. Likely there'll be a call to action soon that'll foreshadow what the final conflict will be.
@vicefulder Yeah forreal the Guts right now got is alive because of giving up his rage for griffith and caring more about casca
Did you read the manga, wtf??
I mean regardless Grifith has to go down, I don't think it'll be just guts getting the blow in and we call it a day, I do think it'll have to be a team effort, one thing is for sure, the battle will be legendary
I hope guts wont chase griffith to seek revenge,i hope griffith will be defeated or somthing by someone other than guts or in some different way than killing him physicly. I think it would be in guts character now to move on from revenge thing and live a peaceful life but the brand would prevent him from doing that so he must do somthing about it
There is a point of possible conflict still left for Griffith vs Guts/Casca. His son is intertwined with Griffith's physical manifestation in reality. The fact that Moonlight boy has multiple times now done the same as Casca, pulled Guts away from his rage/berserker armor, added to the way he acts around Casca/Guts and his actual appearance leaves it pretty clear that he is their son, linked with Griffith during the events of the fake eclipse that made it so that Femto/Griffith could incarnate. He seems to be tied to the Astral World tho, while Griffith seems to be able to live his messiah-complex to it's fullest in the human realm.
How that conflict will shape itself is really unpredictable tho, but considering that Griffith even feels emotions related to the child's when he sees Casca/Guts again after the fake eclipse, he's 100% the key to Griffith getting his comeuppance.
In 358 Griffith ends the chapter looking at the full moon/spirit tree roots, which according to Schierke is when astral beings can roam freely, then he sees that his hair is starting to darken and disappears. His existence is 100% tied up to the moonlight boy's, which means that Guts can "end his journey" by slaying the kid and getting revenge. The issue comes in the form of the Moonlight boy most likely still being powerful as fuck and on the emotional side to the fact that he is his and Casca's son. Imo Guts will have to face the idea of taking revenge while killing his kid and sacrificing his future with Casca or forfeiting his goal for Casca/the kid, which is what I think he will choose. However, at the end of the day the world is still a Griffith-ran dystopia, so it might be for the better if the kid dies. It's also possible SK tries to kill the kid once he makes the connection.
Even as Casca was in her "simple" form, she was drawn to Griffith due to her sensing her child. Once the moonlight boy visits restored Casca (inevitable) she will become obsessed with getting her child back or die trying. And well...this is Berserk. They've been foreshadowing this the whole time. Guts isn't driven by revenge anymore. As it is right now, he wouldn't sacrifice his son in order to get at Griffith. He's just not motivated enough to do so. BUT, Guts has the beast inside WAITING to take over right? What's the ONLY thing that could make him go berserk, and sacrifice his new family? Loosing Casca. I think Casca is murdered by Griffith, while trying to get her son back, Guts literally looses his mind and becomes consumed with revenge, the behelit activates, and in his grief, gives into the beast finally, and he sacrifices everyone in order to gain the power of a godhand to finally kill Griffith. I see only little Schierke surving. Along with the moonlight boy, who with Schierke's help, Guts even his new demonic form, manages to save once he kills Griffith. Guts has to sacrifice/give up his body in order for the boy to have a physical vessel and thats how Guts dies. Schierke, with the brand still on her, becomes the new struggler.
honestly though imagine the shitstorm we would get if Moonlight boy where to revert to Griffith at a place like Elfhelm, i seriously doubt Falconia wouldn't immediately turn to confront them at full force
I vote for Skull Knight to shake things up without Guts or Casca's permission, would be epic as hell
@@AndrewBrownK I mean, the last time SK did that his plan backfired, resulting in the Astral roar
After reading the recent chapters, our hopes are once again crushed... Guts still could not even scratch Griffith, he couldn't do a single thing to stop him. And he taken Casca away from him again, literally this time😔
Guts loses even if Griffith dies, as he’s still branded.
Gee theres no way that could possibly change -_-
It sure shouldn’t
I mean
It could change
Malacara It shouldn’t though really.
@@Theemptythroneistaken I mean
Who's to say
Griffith won’t have a happy ending, tbh I would love for guts to achieve exactly what he wants....only to realize he didn’t want it as much as he thought, or rather he didn’t expect to pay whatever it is he’ll have to pay in order to achieve it
What do you mean by "guts to achieve exactly what he wants" ? I think guts matured as character in a way that he isn't seeking revenge that hard, he just wants his party and casca to be safe
Yeah, given Guts' progress, it doesn't really seem likely that he'll end Griffith; at least, not alone anyway.
I feel like Griffith represents soulless and selfish ambition and how empty that can become.
Guts path seemed just to be alive and not die, now it isn't. It's more than that now.
It reflect real life of purposelessness to finally having purpose and progressing as a mature human being.
He seemed like he'd end up putting his inner beast to rest and leaving Griffith and being with Casca and the gang.
This is like every heroes story. The character lives, loses, grows, accepts, progresses, and eventually matures not to be simple minded anymore but instead a whole human being who may even master their shadows.
Its so palatable because it relates to the human condition so well.
Forgiveness is good for the living but is hard to achieve.
Genuine love also is good but hard to maintain and crushes the soul when it's taken. Only those who persevere will taste the best life has to offer; or, the messages.
"i do not betray my dream. That is all."
Griffith/Femto will die because of his dream.
That's all that makes sense.
You've sold me. Going to start reading this series. Only seen clips of the anime online. Thanks for the great video.
I was hoping after he said hard he’d say “berserk is girthy, berserk is veiny”
At the end of Berserk, Donovan is revived and kills Griffith. Guts and Donovan then share a long passionate embrace.

@@mihirlavande wtf
moral of the story Evil is a part of you but you dont have to let it swallow you, even if it means giving up a dream. Life always goes on.
I think that end might be something like this:
Guts finds out moonlight child is his own child but doesnt know that he shares the body with Griffith,
Guts and Casca grow strong relationship with their own child,
They find out that their own child shares the body with Griffith,
Moonlight child is the only way to kill Griffith with his ego because of the weaker state of the body and idk some magic stuff,
Guts and Casca has too choose if they want to kill their own child with Griffith or just forget about everything and end the journey for a quiet life since Griffith doesnt care about them anymore.
What do you guys think?
notice how griffith saved casca due to the influence of the moonlight boy. i wonder if slowly griffith just loses his entire body itself to the boy and has to watch as he is being raised by the two he hates. feeling as powerless as he did when he was in his bandaged state. but this time there is no behelit to save him
I think Griffith just used the child form to go to elf heim to kill all the Mages since their a threat.
It could end another way. Guts has a Behelit and only those who possess the qualities of a demon will come to possess it,
in the end he will have to choose between giving up his humanity to exact revenge or letting go and passing on.
I think that we will stay a while in the island, at least until Casca can look Guts in the face without breaking down. And then they will go after Griffith, not for revenge, but perhaps in an attempt to bring back their kid. You know, somehow expel femto from his body.
Quite frankly i don't see either one of them seeking him for revenge, and the fact that Griffith is walking around on their kid's body is exactly the type of bombshell that would get them moving. And they could find out on the island, either by the spirits, or spells or just skull knight telling them.
I like this idea👍👍👍👍
I don't think we will be at the island long (as readers). Narratively there isn't much for Guts to do there. And that's why the Skull Knight is there. And possibly why the Moonlight child may show up
@@Ash_Wen-li Agreed. Probably a small timeskip. At the very lest they cannot leave until casca can behave normally around Guts, not only because that would make traveling pretty much impossible, but if she can't face Guts, she most certainly freezes in front of a apostle... Witch is not exactly ideal.

I just caught up with the story Ive been reading all day I have faith that the story will end in my lifetime I'm now obsessed with it from the illustration to this build up the ending has to be satisfying
I’m really late but Griffith is not only a man with the dream of his own kingdom. He also wants that people see him getting there and admiring him. If he would be killed now he would be remembered by the majority of people as THE Savior. The person who gave the lost ones a Home and protection. I think deep down The biggest fear of Griffith is to be hated. If the world would know the truth about what happened in the eclipse and would see his true for and what he is cable of humanity would likely reject him. The real torture for Griffith is to be looked down upon. To go from the pure Savior that he is trying to be so badly to the Monster that he truly is. Doomed to live forever, hated by everyone. He would be off to easily if he would be killed. I really want him to life so that he can suffer for eternity.
I think that Miura may try to end the story with a message on giving up revenge for something greater, either Guts will come to the realization that the world is better off with Griffith/Femto or he may be faced with an ultimatum to choose to follow his warpath but he would also lose Casca in the process. Ending the manga with a message on revenge and violence kinda like how the prologue to Vinland saga echoed a similar sentiment with its ending.
