The fact that you think Guts even stands a chance against them or the IOE at all though is the point. Wtf is Guts supposed to do to any one of them? He could get blinked 1,000 years into the past by any one of them if they felt like it. Slan sensually ran her finger across his chest, literally...

The main theme of Berserk is the idea of struggling against the inevitable. It’s about how no matter how much Guts struggles, he ultimately accomplishes nothing in the end but still struggles to defy his fate. But you tend to miss subtlety when you think Guts is going to kill evil with a sword.

Since when does Guts want to destroy the idea of Evil, or even know what it is? On that subject, didn’t Miura make the concept non-canon for the time being? The idea of evil is a manifestation of humanity’s negative emotions. Is Guts supposed to destroy an abstract metaphorical construct by...

Owngoal inbound: Concession accepted. There is no such thing as objective evil in Berserk.

What even are Griffith’s overall intentions? To have his own Kingdom? How is that evil? He keeps all of the people inside safe and happy. What about that must be stopped? And since when does Guts care about protecting or saving people anyway? Guts’ literal only motive to defeat Griffith is...

I don’t care lol. He would’ve subverted expectations for a more meaningful ending instead of a fanservice one. The Skull Knight and Guts’ conversation about an “unhappy ending” already foreshadowed a non-straightforward ending.

This is probably a hard pill for people to swallow, but Guts was never going to defeat Griffith in the end. Such a victory would be way too fanservice-y and dumb, especially with how much more cataclysmicly more powerful than Guts the Godhand are. Even if Guts would’ve pulled off some Fairy...

I’m in shock, I don’t think the news has really set in yet. Miura and Berserk helped me through a rough phase in my life like he has so many others, and I’m heartbroken that he’s gone before he was able to finish his story. I just don’t really have any words. Rest In Peace to the greatest...

I just read the new chapter, and man. I swear, Miura has, for me, re-solidified himself as the best damn artist in Manga. I was torn between he and Murata, but there is just an unrivaled beauty in Miura’s work. Art like this: Are just legit jaw dropping to me, and I just want to stair at them...

I think the only reason the “Guts on a boat arc” lasted as long as it did was because Miura was planning the Casca’s psyche stuff. He never intended for Berserk to be as long-winded of a series as it was, and I realistically expect that the release schedule will accelerate. I could be wrong...

9-15 years is too long, though the stuff you said will happen. Miura has said in interviews that digital drawing is a young man’s game, and the guy is in his 50s now lol. He won’t be drawing Berserk for much longer. 5-10 more years max. Release schedules will speed up now that Miura isn’t...

Miura actually asked that Chapter 83 he removed from publication and volume releases. He said that it revealed too much too soon, and contained ideas he wasn’t finished with yet. So I think when we get the actual explanation behind the Idea of Evil (the Godlike entity we are discussing) there...

Go ahead lol.

I’ve got volumes 1,2, and 5 so far lol. It’ll be a long-term collection for sure lol.

This is seriously incredible. Lol

Who were those 4 other Demonic Beings alongside Void? Was there a Godhand prior to the current 5?

Yeah you pretty much got it right. People like Grunbeld and Zodd would be low Demon probably and the Godhand could probably qualify for God level depending on the true extent of their power.

Above Dragon. He obliterated cities just by walking, could cover the land around him in fire from his mouths, and could turn the corpses of the armies he crushed beneath his feet into pseudo-Apostles. Lightning form Ganishka is already debatably above Dragon himself as only very specific...

The Beast of Darkness is a manifestation of Guts’ inner rage, hatred, and negative emotions. Kind of like how the Idea of Evil is an entity/being that came into existence as a result of humanity believing in evil ideas and such, the Beast of Darkness is literally a being living within Guts’...

I did a tiny Berserk appreciation post in Owl's beautiful thread here:
