    Personally I think the “If you pray your hands are closed,” line is more about being more proactive about the situation. I think that Guts is trying to imply that by praying your basically ensuring that your hands are tied, or “closed” by hoping that God will help you. Honestly it doesn’t even need to be about God, it’s kinda like saying you need to open your hands and dig in, solve your own problems with your own strength rather than stand back and just hope someone will help or something will just happen to occur that somehow improves your life.

    What I also liked is Guts in Black swordsman and lost children is becoming the same as Zodd, and it's why he is such a threat to the apostles he is losing that human side. It's that old adage of never pick a fight with a man that has nothing to lose. So it's a reverse guts is really the one who is truly unstoppable in these fights. Sure, he can be slashed and stabbed, but as long as he isn't outright killed, nothing can stop his rampage.

    I understood Nina as someone who was envious of the strength and character of others, but in a way that made her resent it. It's why she professed to dislike Luca despite. Like how others grow bitter and envious over wealth. Luca distributed wealth, but there'll always be a disparity of character.

    • @agregs30
      @agregs30 2 роки тому +27

      Nina is an interesting character to me because of the hate she gets and that's the point imo. We dislike character flaws of weakness, cowardice, and conformity because it reflects those flaws on ourselves that we may have.
      Act of courage can inspire us but also deflate us when one is still bound by fear, so I get why she spites Luca. However that is just more self projection of her own self loathing.
      Reminds me of Raki from Claymore but even weaker. We will see if see gets any character growth because those developments are usually the most satisfying when starting so low.

    Azan was definitely a good boy and a breath of fresh air in the darkness.

It shows that even in gritty, grimdark worlds, you can still have characters with morals and bright personalities.

    At 2:32:42 that “thing” is called a “Man-Catcher”. They were often used in battle to capture enemy commanders and noblemen by dragging them off of their horses and pinning them to the ground. It’s rarely ever considered in media, but a lot of the time, knights could be worth a nice sum to whoever captured them.

      And the best tactic against a knight was to dismount them and stick weapons in the weak points of the armor. You already plan to take him down. As a peasant mob or men at arms, you’d definitely enjoy getting your hands on that armor if nothing else.

    Honestly, with Farnese's character, that is probably the first and only time anyone has ever told her not to pray. Her whole life when faced with anything I'm sure the thing she heard most in her life was to sit and pray about it, and now in a time like this it is a complete inversion of her world, from the horrors surrounding her to the words the man protecting her is saying, everything has changed. So I really like the don't pray line for that alone.

    4:19:20 I think this quote sticks out to her because praying (and religion) is the blanket she has used to cover herself when she is scared since she was a child. She was absolutely scared of the situation (which is completely understandable) so she resorted to what she knew. However, Guts spurs her into fighting. It's not just Guts going "shut up and fight" but rather Farnese beginning to understand that she has to take action into her own hands if she wants to survive or just live a life of her own.

      Ha, i was going to reply with this to someone else, but I think the best example of doing as much as you can, and asking God for help was Where the Red Fern Grows where he has to cut down the tree to get the coon, so chops on it all night with a hatchet, and all morning with an ax he's given. He stops after hours of working most of the tree down. It's always been a great scene to me that you can do so much, but when you've used up your all, you can ask for God to help with what you cant finish.

  • @merrja
    @merrja 2 роки тому +32

    Don't want to bring religion in and start a flamewar, but I'll just provide some clarification relating to the theological interpretation of "Thou Shalt Not Kill"
    In the original Greek, it doesn't say "Thou Shalt Not Kill". It says "Thou Shalt Not Murder". This is very important. In the Old Testament, the faithful kill absolutely tons of people - just look at Samson.
    The idea isn't that you don't ever take a life, no matter what. The idea is that you don't just stab someone for no good reason. So you can kill in self defence, or because they have committed heinous crimes, or in a righteous crusade, but it's not open season.
    It's just that the good ol' King Jimmy Edition uses the word "Kill" in the commandments, and that's where a lot of the confusion comes from.
    I mean obviously, it's been twisted many times throughout the ages to justify the unjustifiable, but the Devil can quote Scripture too, so it's important to have a proper understanding of the texts, so that people can't use it against you.

    • @seg162
      @seg162 6 місяців тому

      It's not just the "original Greek"; the Hebrew translated into Greek has the same "kill-murder" distinction. I'm guessing you have a preference for the Septuagint, which... putting aside that Jesus and His apostles used multiple Scriptural variants, 👍.
      Also, Samson isn't the best example, since he was at the tail end of a line of increasingly morally dissolute judges. The Hebrews warring with the "giant clans" on God's command is a better example, especially with how ritualistic their war procedures were.

    I think that interpreting Miura as anti-Christian is hyperbolic, and interpreting him as Marxist is just profoundly incorrect.
    In common with a lot of Japanese writers, I think he just saw Christianity as a curiosity, and included a religion somewhat similar to it only in the capacity that it was appropriate to the kind of setting he had made. He certainly doesn't completely condemn religion.
    As for calling him Marxist, that's ludicrous. Guts is the most Byronic, self-actualized of heroes, and vehemently fights against authoritarianism and Griffith's collectivist ambitions. I would say he was far more anti-collectivist even than I am.

      I think its a bit if a kneejerk reaction for people to just see religion in stories and think “Religion=bad” because… to be fair, it is done very frequently. Unfortunately most religious conflicts in fiction revolve around “religion good vs religion bad”.
      Personally, for my garbage tier personal writing, I decided to make one of my characters a practicing catholic because i thought it would be interesting for the character and had an SJW blow a screw loose one me claiming I was one, to which I had to politely inform them I was not.

    The ending of the Conviction Arc is really bittersweet, compared to the endings of Berserk’s Golden Age and Black Swordsman endings, which were more depressing and tragic.
    In the end, Guts saved Casca from getting burned alive after she was believed to be a witch, but momentarily lost their demon baby after it got injured and it had been swallowed by the Behelit Apostle to heal it to give Griffith/Femto a physical form.
    Even though a lot of villagers and innocent people had been killed, there were still plenty of survivors, which included the refugees and prostitutes.
    Farnese gave up on being a holy knight after she was party responsible for the lives of the sick, innocent people children that Mozgus tortured and killed inhumanely. Even though she’s got a sick mind, Farnese eventually became a better person and a companion for Guts.
    Nina, despite of her cowardly and disgusting actions, eventually learned and regretted what she had done and faced the fact that no one like her would survive a cruel world like Berserk’s on her own and presumably became a better person by sticking with Joachim, despite her suffering from syphilis.
    Luca managed to survive the events of the Arc’s last chapter, same goes for Jerome. From what we can all assume, is that the two became an official couple and Jerome made Luca his mistress. Although they don’t plan to get married, they’d still be together.
    Azan survived and became one of Guts’ companions, even though he felt awfully guilty for letting many innocent refugees die by the hands of Mozgus and his fellow torturers.
    Mozgus and his disciples are finally killed for their awful actions, but they left a huge impact on some of the survivors, including Farnese, Azan and even some of the other remaining refugees.
    Overall, this ending feels like a bittersweet break from the downer endings from the last two arcs of the series.

      Guts is the framework on which I base some of my own ideas on, as like his sword, while he has edges there’s still the core that holds it together.
      Following this analogy, Guts starts off rough and violent, much akin to the Dragonslayer itself. Then after the sword is reforged and Guts has his talk with Godot, he too is reshaped and refined, more efficient with a dedicated goal.

    Probably my favorite arc of the series. Introduced new, great characters, a ton of progression for Guts as a character, imagery that is on par and I would argue more gruesome than the Eclipse at certain points, and the use of religion as an antagonistic force I see as more being against mob mentality and letting fear consume you. I argue that because the time period that Berserk is based on was notorious for those mentalities to flourish. Falcon of the Millennium Empire is probably the best arc of the series (though the trilogy of Golden Age, Conviction, and Falcon is rather equal imo) but this is the arc that hit me the most with its themes and dark explorations.
