How is Serpico a simp btw? He refused Farnese's advances - something an average simp would never be even in that position. Furthermore many think Serpico's arc is finished after his final duel with Guts. But I still think he had an arc to finish with Farnese. Though guess we will never know now. Serpico is one of my favourtite characters as well, shame it will never continue.
I love Serpico so much, he and Farnese are a good parallel to Guts and Griffith, if things worked out better. Miura knew what he was doing with that "you belong to me" line
My favorite character from the manga. He's also the only human besides golden age Griffith who managed to give Guts a hard time in a 1v1. That alone is badass AF.
With Trial by combat, it is always an honorable test of strength between the individuals to discern a conflict or decision. It's possibly the best way of figuring a dispute since time immemorial. For Serpico, enduring his loses honorably shows more about his character than someone who quickly gave into the despair... like a certain hawk we all know...
I’ve just finished chapter 364, I can’t believe this is it, but if that’s how it ends with all 3 of them just looking at one another then so be it. What an amazing story, it really is my favourite story I’ve ever read.
My theorized ending is that Guts lost it & killed the others & himself after those scenes at the end of 364. I imagine it was all just a build up to that moment when Guts would realize there is truly no escape; Casca doesn't recover sanity, Farnese is not kept safe, Serpico & Azan gets wrecked by Guts & Shierke is wounded in etheric form, trying to maintain Guts during astral projection. Messed up, by I think it figures
@@lucabaar1 I personally don’t think that would be a smart move. That’s so sudden, I agree guts certainly isn’t going to stay calm, but he’s gone through so much, you think he’ll allow himself to hurt the people he loves now? I don’t think so. Guess it just goes to show you, no one could possibly do it like Miura.
Serpico is awesome and is one of my favorites. Watching his character progression from when he was first introduced until now has been great. I really hope the manga is somehow able to continue. I really love your berserk videos btw. They’re always so eloquent and well put together.
Here’s an idea and it’s either the best idea anybody’s ever thought of or it’s the worst idea possible. Have alternate endings of beserk. Not remakes. But continuations of where the story of the original manga artist ended. Throughout the entire series there has been multiple highlights of the human condition and many different interpretations about those experiences. I definitely think that this could be a good point to start multiple timelines from the original ending into alternative continuations. Depending on the dedication from the publishers the illustrators and the directions of the Artisanal Team….. it could either be the best idea ever over the worst possibility. It’s not a bad business idea either. The one thing you can never compromise on is its atmosphere its underlying message because that is a very soul of beserk.
i always thought the parallel between Griffith claiming he owns Guts after their duel and Farnese claiming Serpico as her own after saving him was interesting
Serpico and Judeau share many similarities. both are not very ambitious but follow and serve someone that bring them status and wealth. both have high awareness of their surrounding, both are jack of all trades, both have a easy going characteristic. both are intelligent and good at combat. and most important of all, both are blonde....
My favorite male character that I can relate with. I prefer Serpico's over Guts style of fighting and living: he tries to prevent battle if it's possible but he is deadly when it's necessary. Guts usually starts battle ignoring everything else. He can put someone in danger because the war and fighting is his priority.
If the series had gone on, that Checkov's Behelette would have been his. He's basically the only logical and thematic choice. And he would have ended up being a super bad ass along the lines of Irvine/Roxis. I imagine he would be one of the most difficult Apostles to beat. That's probably why Miura was pushing him to the background so much. For impact. That's what I think anyways.
Nice vid as always. I would like to get your thoughts on actors/actresses that could play characters from Berserk in a live action adaptation. Here are a few ideas I’ve thought of for the key roles: Guts: Tom Hardy, young Jason Mamoa Griffith: Timothy Chalamet Casca: Ana de Armas, Zendaya Zodd: David Bautista Korkus: Andy Serkis Charlotte: ? Puck: MoCap Snake Apostle: Abe Sapian actor The Count: Varys (GoT) actor Slan: Eva Green, Anne Hathaway Void: ? Roseine: Laurie’s Granddaughter (Halloween, Halloween Kills) Feel free to add your ideas including for characters I did not mention
Like in the way you took serp's perspective... But I believe you forgot something (maybe I'm wrong) and it is he incredible sensitivity... When he was looking for Farnese he could feel on his back all the demons going over there almost seeing them... When he got the magic clothes I was a natural because of how he was "feeling" magic... Love this carácter
You think he’ll ever tell her that they’re half siblings? I think he can be able to tell her now since she isn’t the same Farnese from the Holy See anymore.
Interested in knowing who everyone thinks is the more Chad character, Serpico or Roderick ? Knowing what we know, I think Serpico might edge out just a tiny bit. But then again, Roderick's character background has yet to be revealed, and mos probably won't be.
I suppose you mean pre-Eclipse Griiffith vs Serpico with no magical items, correct? If so, I'd put my money on Serpico: they seem very close in terms of swordmanship, but Serpico appears to be more adaptable and cunning than Griffith in a duel.
You got one thing wrong in the thoumbnail. Honour and loyalty are the same thing. And Honorable man always has to be a loyal man, and a loyal man is an honourable man. Honour is called loyalty.
It's pretty whack how certain "fans" will call any male character a simp if he is committed to a female character and occasionally puts her needs before his own. It really shows the immaturity and lack of life experience that those readers have. It makes me question if they even have the intelligence necessary to appreciate the world of Berserk.
Serpico Is such an underrated character, such an honorable warrior and one of the most skilled fighters in the manga.
Dunno about honor
Serpico is unique in that hes one of the only characters who isnt obsessed and in love with guts and can become his enemy really quickly.
Intelligence is great and all, but don’t underestimate the brilliance of just taking a rock to someone’s face.
Or a torch....
@@daytimelantern6570 equally feasible.
@@skyrogue1977 but even more deadly, lol.
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
You know the guy’s a badass when Guts thinks he’s skilled.
Judeau was The Homie™ and then serpy took up the mantle
Truth.
But Judeau will always be the best one.
Holy THIS
Judeau has not been replaced so far and maybe never will. Do not sully his good name
Facts. Though Judeau was slightly better.

Because he is a mega strong simp
It might. We don’t know for sure that it isn’t going to be continued.
because it's a funny meme.
He refused Farnese's advances because he knew they were half-siblings!
Yeah, I always thought that at some point Farnese has to find out about her blood relation to Serpico.
Serpico is just an awesome character. The fact that he put Guts on alert, makes me respect him. Guy is tough.
I love Serpico so much, he and Farnese are a good parallel to Guts and Griffith, if things worked out better. Miura knew what he was doing with that "you belong to me" line

So Boscone wasnt a human?

Totally agree
The Chad Serpico vs the virgin griffith

I agree, there could've been worse moments for it to suddenly end.
its almost incredible to believe how it all ended
My theorized ending is that Guts lost it & killed the others & himself after those scenes at the end of 364.
I imagine it was all just a build up to that moment when Guts would realize there is truly no escape; Casca doesn't recover sanity, Farnese is not kept safe, Serpico & Azan gets wrecked by Guts & Shierke is wounded in etheric form, trying to maintain Guts during astral projection.

Me and my bud were reading Berserk together, every time Serpico appeared we made a "I can't see shit" joke...
Gotta love those moments 👌

My boy Serp finally getting the recognition he’s sorely deserved since always
Such a slept on character glad you highlighted him
i always thought the parallel between Griffith claiming he owns Guts after their duel and Farnese claiming Serpico as her own after saving him was interesting
Another great video by the Chad RealLifeRyan
The best way to survive is not be the strongest, but to be able to observe and adapt, which is why I love characters like Serpico.
Serpico was my favorite character and it's a shame I'll never get to dee what miura would have done with him.
Serpico and Judeau share many similarities.
both are not very ambitious but follow and serve someone that bring them status and wealth. both have high awareness of their surrounding, both are jack of all trades, both have a easy going characteristic. both are intelligent and good at combat. and most important of all, both are blonde....
If Berserk ever continues we need a Serpico Griffith sword fight
Love your videos! Great stuff
Ryan maybe you can do a review of the berserk games. Give us your take on the mandragora from the sword of the berserk.
My favorite male character that I can relate with. I prefer Serpico's over Guts style of fighting and living: he tries to prevent battle if it's possible but he is deadly when it's necessary. Guts usually starts battle ignoring everything else. He can put someone in danger because the war and fighting is his priority.
truth.
An underrated character, another great video RLR!
'Off brand Vandimiion' that was brutal Ryan don't do my man Serpico like that
Serpico always reminded me of a Judeau kinda character
If the series had gone on, that Checkov's Behelette would have been his. He's basically the only logical and thematic choice.
And he would have ended up being a super bad ass along the lines of Irvine/Roxis. I imagine he would be one of the most difficult Apostles to beat.
That's probably why Miura was pushing him to the background so much. For impact.
That's what I think anyways.
Nice vid as always. I would like to get your thoughts on actors/actresses that could play characters from Berserk in a live action adaptation. Here are a few ideas I’ve thought of for the key roles:
Guts: Tom Hardy, young Jason Mamoa
Griffith: Timothy Chalamet
Casca: Ana de Armas, Zendaya
Zodd: David Bautista
Korkus: Andy Serkis
Charlotte: ?
Puck: MoCap
Snake Apostle: Abe Sapian actor
The Count: Varys (GoT) actor
Slan: Eva Green, Anne Hathaway
Void: ?
Roseine: Laurie’s Granddaughter (Halloween, Halloween Kills)
Feel free to add your ideas including for characters I did not mention
I really like these character study videos 🛐
0:06 that's hecking cute
Another great breakdown, thanks Ryan
Love your content bro
One of my favorite characters
Great analysis

Serpico is the cunning warrior.
You think he’ll ever tell her that they’re half siblings? I think he can be able to tell her now since she isn’t the same Farnese from the Holy See anymore.
My fav character !
He really is a cunning character. He is the only foil to fighters like Guts who utilize their brute strength.
I hope they continue.
good shit ryan keep grinding
Parry spamers are going to be unstoppable
Interested in knowing who everyone thinks is the more Chad character, Serpico or Roderick ?
Knowing what we know, I think Serpico might edge out just a tiny bit. But then again, Roderick's character background has yet to be revealed, and mos probably won't be.
Serpico and Rickert are, imo, the best berserk characters.
There's not enough videos about my boy
have you read I am hero? its the best zombie story ever. better than resident evil easily, and it blows the walking dead out of the water.
When will you talk about his half sister?
Serpentco unassumingly fast strikes/agility
Who wins? Serpico vs Griffith?
I suppose you mean pre-Eclipse Griiffith vs Serpico with no magical items, correct?
If so, I'd put my money on Serpico: they seem very close in terms of swordmanship, but Serpico appears to be more adaptable and cunning than Griffith in a duel.
Serpico destroys pre-eclipse Griffith
@@1es782 no he doesn't, unless he has the wind cloak thing
Best Boii
Not my favorite Al Pacino movie but it's cool.
O wait.
serpico only my second favorite because Guts exists.
Say, what would happen if Farnese actually saw herself as an Apostle, had she found her own Behelit? How would that turn out?
serpico is gigachad
lets go
Just realized I wasn’t subscribed to you this whole time! Fixed it
You got one thing wrong in the thoumbnail. Honour and loyalty are the same thing. And Honorable man always has to be a loyal man, and a loyal man is an honourable man. Honour is called loyalty.
I had to LEARN to like this guy. Sometimes, it is difficult to look in a mirror.
Simpico the beta always looks bad next to the sigma male grindset of Guts.
It's pretty whack how certain "fans" will call any male character a simp if he is committed to a female character and occasionally puts her needs before his own. It really shows the immaturity and lack of life experience that those readers have. It makes me question if they even have the intelligence necessary to appreciate the world of Berserk.
You can't convince me that the Joker movie didn't got inspiration from this guy
More like Slerpico
Serpico could probably beat Golden age Griffith.
He's kinda like judeau 2.0
Just a comment
11:32 imagine listening to womens opinions. Simpico. 😆
Why does everyone insist on saying "Farnees" when the pronounciation has long been confirmed as "Far-neh-seh". It's an italian name ffs.
First
