@@g.r.o.g.u.1892 It's so funny (well, sad), to look at all the people who were complaining about the peaceful days in Berserk, now all depressed with Guts
The way the beast of darkness sat on the dragonslayer with paws folded like, "well, well, well. Look who can crawling back for power..." That was absolutely insane
the panel of Griffith on the sword is probably one of my favorite pieces of imagery from the new chapters. for me it calls back to what Griffith said after the first time they dueled, “You now belong to me”. after all this time Griffith still holds complete dominance over Guts, both in body and mind, and that panel does an incredible time of driving that point home
Based on my own interpretation as well. Guts was initially striking the beast of darkness, which by now we all know it's essentially guts hatred and trauma manifested into this creature. However when guts decides to strike it, it changes imagery and turns into griffith. Which I think showcases to us readers that griffith is still the source of all guts pain and as you said is still in control of his soul in a way. He's the reason guts is despair and the beast of darkness is trying to take advantage of this so that it can let guts yield to it.
For some reason Whenever I see the beast of darkness, I always get excited because I want to know what is going to happen next and he just looks cool imo
Same! I got chills and flashbacks to the conversation where he told guts he'd be biding his time and waiting and now that time is here! Terrified and excited at the same time
He is definetly perfect perfect reperesentation of devil on the shoulder, have absolutely stellar design and he is capable of quite seducing lines. I have to say that in retrospect fact that Guts was always seconds from turning into monster is what made him such fascinating character.
I hope the Kushan are there on the order of Daiba and they will restrain Guts somehow. Even though the Beast of Darkness looks cool and all, I don't want Guts to give in to it.
Not gana lie when he said that I thought he was going to end up killing himself or worse use the bahelt I don’t think he’ll end up doing that at least I hope he doesn’t but in that moment I couldn’t help but feel absolute dread and sadness when he said those words
I think that when Guts lifted his sword and he saw Griffith instead of the Beast Of Darkness, it was still the beast, it was just manifesting as the thing that brings Guts the most rage. It's reminding Guts that he's beneath Griffith because back during Golden Age when Griffith dodged Guts attack by standing atop his sword, Griffith seemed like this untouchable God.
Guts feels inferior to Griffith he no longer has rage against him. He always felt inferior to Griffith since golden age. That's why he didnt get mad when he saw Griffith on the sword he just collapsed. The ironic part is Griffith felt this same way before the eclipse after guts left.

What we are getting are well drawn highlights of Miura's main storyline point, presumably until the final part of the manga. It's not paced and properly structured or even written the way Miura would've done it but for what they're trying to do it's well made. Obviously, they have to give us the story as much as they know while still make it work as a manga. It's impossible to recreate what he would've done, only he could've given us the depth and subtlety and incredible dialogue that we've had until his final chapter. Despite the highlight nature of the chapters under the current studio, they're doing a good enough job to bring us the end of the manga as Miura had envisioned it - more or less - based on what he told his friend and his assistants.
I think your exactly right. I think the team right now is doing as good a job as they can for what they have and kentaro Miura was a genius. it’s hard to replicate his amazing ability so what we have is still good and it’s still great we will get an end to berserk
Exactly, like for instance the Kushan appearing so suddenly. It seems so out of nowhere because how could they have known they were on that ship in the middle of nowhere when they didn't even know the island existed that they are now leaving. But its likely that had Miura been able to write it, it would have had some more set up, like they have been sailing for awhile and were heading for land, so they were more likely to be noticed by someone. But because they only know that Miura intended the Kushan to board their ship at some point, they just put it here so its more dramatic. And I think its works well enough, but it really drives home the quick pace it now has.
I don't mind the pace at all. Considering the circumstances this is fantastic that we are getting. Anyone sane should be grateful that we get to see Miura's approximate ending in a manga form.
If we get a moment where guts gets up thinking about how he defeated Griffith once and shows the second duel. And it shows him picking up his sword and saying “I can do it again”
I think the callback to Guts' first duel with Griffith is the first truly great panel of Mori's run, instant classic. Are the Kushan members of Griffith's army at this point though? Deserters being out in the middle of the ocean near a fabled island is a weird coincidence, they have to have been sent
The artwork was and continues to be AMAZING! From this chapter on who is writing this story? Did the author have the ending written? Or maybe explained to a friend/best friend? I hope so... Berserk is Miura's life work and as much as I want this story to get the ending it deserves, I also do not want it to be destroyed... To those writing and drawing Berserk, I love you for what you are doing... Just take as many breaks as you need!

I'm not quite enthusiastic with the recent artworks which after the kentaro's death. I actually like how they detailed the stuff like backgrounds and other stuff. But in my statement I'm more into kentaro pure artwork it makes me used to to his and still can't move on 😭
the new director that know the story because Miura told him is not Miura best friend, he's practically his brother so we're in good hands. Mori will not direct this new chapter if he wasn't sure about this
there was also a golden age parallel when guts’ sword stopped at griffiths hair on elf island, just like when he beat him before he left on the snowy hill.
I like how Griffith here still looks Godly. Like even though Guts hates him, he's still this untouchable godly figure that plagues Guts. Plus the call back, it reminds us that Griffith is a really complicated figure in Guts life. That moment all those years ago was one of the best things that could have happened to Guts and gave him happiness. Until it was all taken away and shattered by the same person. Who still is beyond his reach.
Guts is sick at his own weakness. So much so, he vomited. Powerlessness has a way of eating at a man like nothing else. Powerlessness leads to hopelessness leads to nothingness where you feel like nothing, you do nothing, and you want to disappear into nothing.
Schierke and Farnese when they are going in through Casca’s dreams is peak and is so symbolic, especially with Guts being a dog and having the Berserker armor.
I love fact u can feel looking at the art it feels like the bond of the original author and his friend who will finish his mission reallyyyy translate at least to me. I hope he does right by him . I think a tragic ending with a glamor of hope or a happy ending will work ( will never feel like a true ending ~ but I’ll appreciate it)
The Beast of Darkness is a part of Guts' psyche and his internal darkness he tries to suppress, so I hope he does not relinquish himself to his darkness after all he has done to resist those feelings. The sacrificial brand may be the reason he can not touch Griffith being now a God Hand, so hopefully the party can figure this out and help find an exploit with this. Rickert being able to hit Griffith is definitely crucial and I hope he can share this information with his friends if he is with the Kushan raiding the ship.
That was the most kentaro miura chapter they have ever made since they started to take over. I am still mad at how they mute Guts. And again there is no new chapter date. They really catch up the style and I am hoping they add the soul to the manga as well.
It looks like they're doing exactly what I thought. Gut's is going to undergo a full individuation. Similar to when Shrike and Farnese went into Casca's mind to help piece her broken psyche back together, Gut's is going to have to face his beast of darkness internally. If it goes the full Jungian (which it honestly seems like they're going to do) he won't refuse the beast, nor will he give himself over to it as it will demand. He's going to have accept that the beast of darkness isn't some foreign entity that is trying to control him. It's a vital part of his psyche, his shadow. He is in control of it, he can tap into his shadow and use it when he needs to, because it is a part of who he is. Where the skull knight rejected his shadow and became a hollow shell animated by his indomitable will. And where the apostles and godhand were consumed by their shadows, and so gave over their humanity for power. Guts will resolve the conflict between his shadow and his ego. The Berserker armour is doing what it was meant to do, it's bringing his shadow to the forefront. Geiseric saw this as a choice to be resolved. A fight between the ego and the shadow, and he used the armour to separate the two things. With his will animating the armour and his body being consumed by the shadow (Zodd.) But the real point of it is to control the shadow, to use it as a tool. That's what I see anyway.
I hear Skullgirls music in the background which is actually fitting in retrospect. In addition, I too loved this chapter! Now will be interesting to see where this goes next.
I don’t see any other way now other than him accepting the berserker form, was badass, the ending panel of him just laying their lifeless after hearing the beast of darkness tell him to lend him over to him so he can help him is just GOLD
Kind of hard for the Beast to feed off of a broken man I think the Kushans are going to take everyone hostage, including Guts. But won't take his Dragonslayer because it's too heavy. And the Berserker Armor will be taken off, stored away for later, forcing Guts to rely on himself for the first time in a while Well. That's just a guess
I wouldn't be surprised that Guts returns the favor in the end for Grifffith. His victory move where He split Griffith's sword in half, claiming His freedom.
I could see Gutz becoming something like Skull Knight and just being a vehicle of destruction for Falconia. Not sure he’d get the necessary power boost to take on Femto maybe Zod I don’t know. All at the same time, doubtful. He has to meet up with Rickert and co which should help steer him back. Having Sherke, Farnese and the rest is another support system he never had after the eclipse. He’s definitely taken a hit but he’ll endure.
its so sad that because of everything they've been through you truly cant ignore that they can't recover from this and go back to living a normal life, so many things have left holes in both Caska and Guts that we just kinda have to accept that even if Guts completes his goal of keeping Caska safe from Griffith by killing him or whatever the next step for Guts is to just die. They have endured so many things that the hope of a "happy ending" is just denial at this point
Guts actually acknowledges this on the way to falconia after not being able to catch casca as she falls of the ship, "I guess even if you force back what was lost... it still won't be the way it was". He's always been the one to save casca from falling into water as well so that also just adds on it
it would be nice for me atleast for Griffith to redeem himself somehow, it would make him more complex... I mean bis backstory is pretty complex but as of his transformation im getting mixed feelings about him.. it seemed to me that many times he would prefer to talk to Guts but idk... Guts always attacks first and i srsly cant get any Guts Griffith dialogue cause of that and it pisses me off .. i hope we will get some Griffith and Guts talking like regular people... I mean AoT as much as it sucks for me Isayama went for the enemies become best friends/lovers with the cast and people love it... I wanted to puke tbh but i think a civil talk would be nice for a change
@@deadlyfemboy4289 Griffith is beyond redemption. Or rather, he doesn't need redemption. His dream is everything to him. As for talking to Guts, there's nothing to talk about. Guts made Griffith forget his dream and that is unforgivable in the eyes of Griffith, and Griffith raped Casca so there's no forgiveness from Guts. So just hold onto your fantasy 'cause it's not gonna happen.
The beast of darkness talking to Guts is what I would relate to that conversation a school shooter has with themselves before they decide to devastate a school. They look at that gun, and they decide to give themselves over to that gun in exchange for the power it gives and the destruction it brings. They lose themselves to the inner rage.
I really hope that the stage is starting to be set for a climactic battle between the godhand members. At the end of the last chapter Griffith mentioned venturing out East and the Kushan make an appearance at the end of this one. It may be that the other members of the godhand have established their own cities as safe havens in the new world run-amuck by monsters. It would be really cool to see a Griffith-led crusade against another member of the godhand that the Kushan regard as a god incarnate similar to the manner in which Griffith is seen in Falconia. I say this partially because I think it fits the philosophy of demon-kind but also because it would explain the whole thing with different godhand members in the berserker armor flashback from before. This kind of conclusion would also allow for Guts to continue focusing on protecting the ones he loves and resisting the beast of darkness amidst the chaos brought about in the world by higher forces.
I love where the manga is going. I've always felt that Berserk would easily fit in in dystopian literature, known for having very sour endings. What the Beast of Darkness says, basically guiding Guts to become like the Skull Knight, abandoning his humanity to become stronger, which would end up in a very sad ending for the story. I'm excited for the next chapters. This masterpiece deserves the care it is getting.
What I read from your comment is "wow I love the idea that Guts will have a sad ending instead of a well deserved happy ending", how can u say this man u break my heart- I consider people like you THE enemy!!
@@allahalkareem8055 Berserk is not a story where people have happy endings, my dude. Knowing what's in the way of Guts, and what he must do to achieve his goals, I would be satisfied if he ends up like a supernatural being living along with Casca for the rest of her life.
Mozart was unable to finish Lacrimosa Muira was unable to finish Berserk Thank the universe for their students. This story deserved to go on and hopefully is given the ending it deserves.
I just finished reading the latest chapter. I wanna punch the air till i pass out right now. I'm truly filled with Anger and Guts...i can't stop crying.
3:14 But that's the thing; giving in to the Beast will not solve anything, and it'll probably not empower him to kill Griffith, let alone the rest of the God Hand. He will be swallowed into the Abyss and be gone forever.
People like to have that delusion that the chapter when Miura died was a good ending. But cmon this manga is far from the end it deserves, lets be real here, i cant pretend the story is finished when there is clearly a lot of story to be told here, even based on Miura's notes. So im glad other writers are taking that task up to finish based on his notes.
am i the only one who when i saw the beast was actively worried and saying "oh no not again" in my head, i've seen lot's of people complaining and wanting him to go berserk but honestly that's the last thing i want for him. Sure i love me some gore and badass but i just want my man to be happy ;_(
I hope guts lets the beserker armor fully take him, hes too weak to live much longer, let alone protect everyone, casca will see him die before she turns 40 and grittith istoo strong, plus, varnees cant pull the moon child out
Just finished 373, seeing guts in total despair broke me 😢 when even the strongest protagonist starts loosing it all, you know shits really bad :( it’s a masterpiece
in a ideal world we d follow caska rtrieveher consciouness by herself and then pay the debt she has woth guts and help him, but after this chapter I see that the things are going on another path. The forge smith told guts he had to master the armor, so thats how guts is going to free himself from thie nightmare he was put into, In my opinion, he should free the ship slaying every kushan and a few magicians and go away from his friends, he SHOULDNT move on from the pain on the next chapters, it would feel so ilogical and superficial if on the same night caska has taken guts rise on... it a must for him to come back with TIME, time that could be used for the other character ( kids ) to grow as well, give time for caska to free herself, and time for the world to feel grifs weight through the years, it would be comical if falconia falls just on the same years it was built. Berserk needs a time skip with guts alone
Guts could become an apostle, a Sacrifice marking as sacrifice his most beloved people (include they with his blood relantionship) Demon Guts could be the most powerful apostle, even more than Grunbeld, Locus and Zodd.
I was hoping Gedfring or one of his fellows would be more active. Sure Schierke is the main magic user of the Band and I understand why they chose her to do this magic rite, but at least the old mages could have given her tips. After all Gedfring seems to be way more skilled than Schierke, being able to summon rain without the four kings of the underworld on which powers Schierke relies.
I’d didn’t know that something more scarier that an angry raging violent Guts.. ..was a defeated, depressed, one, that scared the shit out of me, this is Guts we are talking about.
Hey Masked Man, think you'll do a video one day analyzing the Star Wars (or other media) and Berserk connections? Particularly the parallels between Darth Vader and Griffith, and what that could mean for the possible ending 🤔
I feel like the story is flowing a bit fast. I know its different due to being left in the hands of the studio but im not liking the way these chapters are turning out. They seem so spaced out. I may be judging to soon tho but i hope i get used to it
I want to see more of puck! His always talking with guts so hopefully he can help guts out this time as well wifh Scherke doing other stuff it's his time to shine!
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Guts start sensing the beast of darkness after receiving the dragon slayer? Is it possible that it's not a part of Guts but something contained in the sword, similar to the Berserker armor? Also Guts has started to lose his sense of taste and smell, as well as his color vision since he started using the armor together with the sword, the beast speaks of sacrifice, but Guts must sacrifice himself, as opposed to someone else who sacrificed all others for himself. In the end it's all about "what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your dreams". I'm almost sure that if there is a final showdown, Guts could even emerge victorious, but it will never be the same again, even if the possible scenarios are endless, as long as it doesn't end like in devilman
Miura said along time ago in an interview that Berserk was such a dark story it wouldn't feel right if it didn't have some kind of happy ending........I really hope thats still the plan, because Guts deserves some kind of relief
I definitely think bittersweet is the way to go it won't be just Guts dying and Griffith taking over the world but it won't be some Disney ending either with Guts saving the whole universe AND Casca. Maybe the 3 of them die together or maybe Guts saves the world and dies in the process??
@@MegaParsia I think it will end with Cascas death. Kind of like how Kenshiro lost Yuria. They get married and not too long after she passes away. Then Guts will probably go out on his own again at the end to travel/fight.
Was Griffiths really there or was it a vision? Was it the beast masquerading as Griffiths? Why was Griffiths ascended to Godhand only to be immediately separated from them? Does Griffiths still have his GH power? Does he still have to go to GH meetings as Femto or can he go in his current form? G-man has his kingdom now so now what?

@@originalcomment4818 Really? I didn't see it during the destruction of Elfhelm.
It's like Griffith's omnipresence is manifesting itself weighing down Guts sword like "you can't do anything"
best new chapter we’ve gotten
it really does feel like berserk again
The griping toe broke everyone more than the beast of darkness in this chapter
That was the most kentaro miura chapter they have ever made since they started to take over. I am still mad at how they mute Guts. And again there is no new chapter date. They really catch up the style and I am hoping they add the soul to the manga as well.
It looks like they're doing exactly what I thought.
Gut's is going to undergo a full individuation.
Similar to when Shrike and Farnese went into Casca's mind to help piece her broken psyche back together, Gut's is going to have to face his beast of darkness internally.
If it goes the full Jungian (which it honestly seems like they're going to do) he won't refuse the beast, nor will he give himself over to it as it will demand. He's going to have accept that the beast of darkness isn't some foreign entity that is trying to control him. It's a vital part of his psyche, his shadow. He is in control of it, he can tap into his shadow and use it when he needs to, because it is a part of who he is.
Where the skull knight rejected his shadow and became a hollow shell animated by his indomitable will. And where the apostles and godhand were consumed by their shadows, and so gave over their humanity for power. Guts will resolve the conflict between his shadow and his ego.
The Berserker armour is doing what it was meant to do, it's bringing his shadow to the forefront. Geiseric saw this as a choice to be resolved. A fight between the ego and the shadow, and he used the armour to separate the two things. With his will animating the armour and his body being consumed by the shadow (Zodd.)
But the real point of it is to control the shadow, to use it as a tool.
That's what I see anyway.
"Struggle, endure, contend. For that alone is the sword of one who confronts death. Never forget this!"
-Skull Knight
I'm really feeling the change in art style right now. The faces really do feel drastically different here.
Give my boy Guts a break *PLEASE* - holy shit 😭
honestly not even shocked anymore these next chapters are gonna go all in on him again😭😭
Such a good chapter. And callback to Griffith standing on Guts' sword is incredible!
I hear Skullgirls music in the background which is actually fitting in retrospect.
In addition, I too loved this chapter! Now will be interesting to see where this goes next.
I don’t see any other way now other than him accepting the berserker form, was badass, the ending panel of him just laying their lifeless after hearing the beast of darkness tell him to lend him over to him so he can help him is just GOLD
The word choice of "Power". The behelit is gonna go off bros
The artwork continues to get better!
KOUJI MORI HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB BUT IDK HOW MANY TO BE CONTINUED I CAN TAKE
Guts will snap…and I’m waiting for it
Kind of hard for the Beast to feed off of a broken man
I think the Kushans are going to take everyone hostage, including Guts. But won't take his Dragonslayer because it's too heavy. And the Berserker Armor will be taken off, stored away for later, forcing Guts to rely on himself for the first time in a while
Well. That's just a guess
I wouldn't be surprised that Guts returns the favor in the end for Grifffith. His victory move where He split Griffith's sword in half, claiming His freedom.
I could see Gutz becoming something like Skull Knight and just being a vehicle of destruction for Falconia. Not sure he’d get the necessary power boost to take on Femto maybe Zod I don’t know. All at the same time, doubtful. He has to meet up with Rickert and co which should help steer him back. Having Sherke, Farnese and the rest is another support system he never had after the eclipse. He’s definitely taken a hit but he’ll endure.
its so sad that because of everything they've been through you truly cant ignore that they can't recover from this and go back to living a normal life, so many things have left holes in both Caska and Guts that we just kinda have to accept that even if Guts completes his goal of keeping Caska safe from Griffith by killing him or whatever the next step for Guts is to just die. They have endured so many things that the hope of a "happy ending" is just denial at this point
Yeah, I feel like Berserk will get a sad but somehow cathartic ending. Guts will die after defeating Griffith and Casca will be safe.
Guts actually acknowledges this on the way to falconia after not being able to catch casca as she falls of the ship, "I guess even if you force back what was lost... it still won't be the way it was". He's always been the one to save casca from falling into water as well so that also just adds on it
it would be nice for me atleast for Griffith to redeem himself somehow, it would make him more complex... I mean bis backstory is pretty complex but as of his transformation im getting mixed feelings about him.. it seemed to me that many times he would prefer to talk to Guts but idk... Guts always attacks first and i srsly cant get any Guts Griffith dialogue cause of that and it pisses me off .. i hope we will get some Griffith and Guts talking like regular people... I mean AoT as much as it sucks for me Isayama went for the enemies become best friends/lovers with the cast and people love it... I wanted to puke tbh but i think a civil talk would be nice for a change
@@deadlyfemboy4289 Griffith is beyond redemption. Or rather, he doesn't need redemption. His dream is everything to him. As for talking to Guts, there's nothing to talk about. Guts made Griffith forget his dream and that is unforgivable in the eyes of Griffith, and Griffith raped Casca so there's no forgiveness from Guts. So just hold onto your fantasy 'cause it's not gonna happen.
There are no chains on the beast!
The beast of darkness talking to Guts is what I would relate to that conversation a school shooter has with themselves before they decide to devastate a school. They look at that gun, and they decide to give themselves over to that gun in exchange for the power it gives and the destruction it brings. They lose themselves to the inner rage.
I really hope that the stage is starting to be set for a climactic battle between the godhand members. At the end of the last chapter Griffith mentioned venturing out East and the Kushan make an appearance at the end of this one. It may be that the other members of the godhand have established their own cities as safe havens in the new world run-amuck by monsters. It would be really cool to see a Griffith-led crusade against another member of the godhand that the Kushan regard as a god incarnate similar to the manner in which Griffith is seen in Falconia.
I say this partially because I think it fits the philosophy of demon-kind but also because it would explain the whole thing with different godhand members in the berserker armor flashback from before. This kind of conclusion would also allow for Guts to continue focusing on protecting the ones he loves and resisting the beast of darkness amidst the chaos brought about in the world by higher forces.
bro the background music. I haven't heard that song in awhile.
What’s the song?
The joy and horror I felt when I got a notification that a new chapter dropped! 😭
what app gives u the notification?
Remember when puck had to fight off the ghosts when guts was too exhausted. This is like that but 10x worse with the Kushan’s
The beast of darkness is so evil and petty I love it all 10 out 10 chapter!!! Bravo studio GAGA 💯💯💯
I love where the manga is going. I've always felt that Berserk would easily fit in in dystopian literature, known for having very sour endings.
What the Beast of Darkness says, basically guiding Guts to become like the Skull Knight, abandoning his humanity to become stronger, which would end up in a very sad ending for the story.
I'm excited for the next chapters. This masterpiece deserves the care it is getting.
What I read from your comment is "wow I love the idea that Guts will have a sad ending instead of a well deserved happy ending", how can u say this man u break my heart- I consider people like you THE enemy!!
@@allahalkareem8055 Berserk is not a story where people have happy endings, my dude. Knowing what's in the way of Guts, and what he must do to achieve his goals, I would be satisfied if he ends up like a supernatural being living along with Casca for the rest of her life.
@XIIIR Yeah except that Miura said that the manga will have a good ending
@@vishnueashwar Knowing what Miura did during the whole story, what do you think "good ending" means? I'm not sure about what does that means.
If ANYONE deserves a happy ending it’s Casca and Guts.
I’ll never forgive Griffith.
Mozart was unable to finish Lacrimosa Muira was unable to finish Berserk
Thank the universe for their students. This story deserved to go on and hopefully is given the ending it deserves.
What is the music playing? 5:07
the art has improved the students have improved :)
Also loved this chapter
Been saying guts the bakiraka and any other magical creatures witches etc are going to team up to fight Griffith
I just finished reading the latest chapter. I wanna punch the air till i pass out right now. I'm truly filled with Anger and Guts...i can't stop crying.
Can't wait for the next chapter, will the Beast of Darkness take over or will Guts find new resolve?
The Beast of Darkness : "Well well well. . . . .Look whose come crawling back. . . . "
Not going to lie when the Kushans busted down the door and stared down guts i loled
3:14
But that's the thing; giving in to the Beast will not solve anything, and it'll probably not empower him to kill Griffith, let alone the rest of the God Hand. He will be swallowed into the Abyss and be gone forever.
People like to have that delusion that the chapter when Miura died was a good ending. But cmon this manga is far from the end it deserves, lets be real here, i cant pretend the story is finished when there is clearly a lot of story to be told here, even based on Miura's notes. So im glad other writers are taking that task up to finish based on his notes.
am i the only one who when i saw the beast was actively worried and saying "oh no not again" in my head, i've seen lot's of people complaining and wanting him to go berserk but honestly that's the last thing i want for him. Sure i love me some gore and badass but i just want my man to be happy ;_(
I hope guts lets the beserker armor fully take him, hes too weak to live much longer, let alone protect everyone, casca will see him die before she turns 40 and grittith istoo strong, plus, varnees cant pull the moon child out
Really just thinking about it do you think this could be the final arc of berserk
I think it has been positively stated that it is the final arc
@@kranberryjones1449 was this supposed to be the last arc?Or is it just because the author passed away and they are want to give it an ending?
@@Thestandprouder berserk was stated by miura to be 80% done before he died so yea it won’t go on for 10 years
YO bro your videos are funny af😂, y'all check him out
Just finished 373, seeing guts in total despair broke me 😢 when even the strongest protagonist starts loosing it all, you know shits really bad :( it’s a masterpiece
Almost concerned that they are working an angle where guts (the beast of darkness) may be tempted to use the behelit
I feel like he’ll pull a skull night if he does use his behelit
Man they really are going all out on the art.. its gorgeous
you know that guts is gonna go crazy, next chapter is just gonna be filled with murder
Bro every chapter it just gets worse and worse for the party they are really pushing of how bad of a situation they are im and i love it
the art is getting good
in a ideal world we d follow caska rtrieveher consciouness by herself and then pay the debt she has woth guts and help him, but after this chapter I see that the things are going on another path. The forge smith told guts he had to master the armor, so thats how guts is going to free himself from thie nightmare he was put into, In my opinion, he should free the ship slaying every kushan and a few magicians and go away from his friends, he SHOULDNT move on from the pain on the next chapters, it would feel so ilogical and superficial if on the same night caska has taken guts rise on... it a must for him to come back with TIME, time that could be used for the other character ( kids ) to grow as well, give time for caska to free herself, and time for the world to feel grifs weight through the years, it would be comical if falconia falls just on the same years it was built. Berserk needs a time skip with guts alone
Patience my young padawan..
Will guts ever get to tap that again?
dawg
@@owaves4488 dudes been fighting for decades inside the manga just so that he can use his dragon slayer one more time
that last panel 100% will have some certain edits in some time
Guts could become an apostle, a Sacrifice marking as sacrifice his most beloved people (include they with his blood relantionship) Demon Guts could be the most powerful apostle, even more than Grunbeld, Locus and Zodd.
I was hoping Gedfring or one of his fellows would be more active. Sure Schierke is the main magic user of the Band and I understand why they chose her to do this magic rite, but at least the old mages could have given her tips. After all Gedfring seems to be way more skilled than Schierke, being able to summon rain without the four kings of the underworld on which powers Schierke relies.
1:15 am guessing puck is gone
Guts is really like me…… throws up after seeing Griffith naked.
I’d didn’t know that something more scarier that an angry raging violent Guts..
..was a defeated, depressed, one, that scared the shit out of me, this is Guts we are talking about.
what a cliffhanger!😱
Reminds me a lot of Guts in the Black Swordsman Arc. The despair at an all time high
Hey Masked Man, think you'll do a video one day analyzing the Star Wars (or other media) and Berserk connections? Particularly the parallels between Darth Vader and Griffith, and what that could mean for the possible ending 🤔
When will 374 be out ??
I feel like the story is flowing a bit fast. I know its different due to being left in the hands of the studio but im not liking the way these chapters are turning out. They seem so spaced out. I may be judging to soon tho but i hope i get used to it
I want to see more of puck! His always talking with guts so hopefully he can help guts out this time as well wifh Scherke doing other stuff it's his time to shine!
How did I not know there was a new chapter after 2 months of being released?
It seems the studio and Mori are starting to get the hang of it
Bro, Guts is finally becoming John Wick. A darker, more sinister form of John Wick who's only focused on Revenge, and inflicting pain.
Guts is gonna probably be forced to sacrifice the band he has right now in another eclipse
Nothing nothing but suffering here on end… I hate it profoundly. Plz Guts wake up ! Fight it off !
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Guts start sensing the beast of darkness after receiving the dragon slayer? Is it possible that it's not a part of Guts but something contained in the sword, similar to the Berserker armor? Also Guts has started to lose his sense of taste and smell, as well as his color vision since he started using the armor together with the sword, the beast speaks of sacrifice, but Guts must sacrifice himself, as opposed to someone else who sacrificed all others for himself. In the end it's all about "what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your dreams". I'm almost sure that if there is a final showdown, Guts could even emerge victorious, but it will never be the same again, even if the possible scenarios are endless, as long as it doesn't end like in devilman
Miura said along time ago in an interview that Berserk was such a dark story it wouldn't feel right if it didn't have some kind of happy ending........I really hope thats still the plan, because Guts deserves some kind of relief
I definitely think bittersweet is the way to go it won't be just Guts dying and Griffith taking over the world but it won't be some Disney ending either with Guts saving the whole universe AND Casca. Maybe the 3 of them die together or maybe Guts saves the world and dies in the process??
@@MegaParsia I think it will end with Cascas death. Kind of like how Kenshiro lost Yuria. They get married and not too long after she passes away. Then Guts will probably go out on his own again at the end to travel/fight.
Was Griffiths really there or was it a vision? Was it the beast masquerading as Griffiths? Why was Griffiths ascended to Godhand only to be immediately separated from them? Does Griffiths still have his GH power? Does he still have to go to GH meetings as Femto or can he go in his current form? G-man has his kingdom now so now what?
Griffith always be naked honestly
