Guts learns how to truly be content and happy, and no longer allows his obsession (revenge) to consume him. While it arguably hasn’t in a while, he completely decides to leave it behind now. Caska probably either marries Guts, or they just live together until they grow old and die. Moonlight Boy becomes disconnected from Griffith by fairy magic so Guts and Caska can raise their son or he reincarnates into a better Griffith. If the second is true, Guts and Caska probably have another child. The end.

      Yeah, Berserk has been a huge part of my life, it being the first dark fantasy I ever read. It inspired me to create my own stories and I now want to create my own dark fantasy comic thanks to berserk. For over twenty years now Berserk has inspired me every step of the way, not just the characters, or the story, but even the creator, Kentaro Miura has been a huge model for myself.

Over the past few weeks I've been thinking on whether or not to at least see the anime, mostly because I work and study so I have very little time.
    But without having any context of this theme, listening to it just now woke so many emotions inside me. Feelings I can't put into words, only the music can describe.

    As controversial as this may sound, I actually was fine with the cliffhanger ending. The visual of Guts walking off into the unknown with the dragonslayer is so powerful and I can't imagine how it would and will eventually end. Then again you can't have a bad ending if it doesn't have one, and that's why I feel this is the best note to leave on. The series hits so many notes that will last forever. It's not just a show about gore and fighting, it's philosophical over anything else. A tale about walking on and struggling even when things seem their bleakest. I just think the 90's series was supposed to be a one off. It was never supposed to have a second season, but what little there was can stand the test of time.

    The original version reminds of Griffith (before he was Femto). This version reminds me of Guts, though.

Both are great in thier own way. Unbelievable work, thanks for making it.

No,loss is greater guts got all that he loved torn away from him this loss represents incredible pain and sadness. Guts has only kept going for casca,if it wasn’t for her he would’ve been alone with nothing to fight for,no reason to live.he’s a sad man with a sad life,poor guts.

    I drifted here by accident, having no one left in my life to talk to, just wandering UA-cam watching random things in some futile attempt to cheer myself up. Then I found this.
    There’s something about this song that makes me reflect on everything that’s happened, and my god has a lot happened. I just sat in my room, looking out my window at the snow, and listened to this. This sounds very dramatic but I just felt like there was nothing for me anywhere, that I’m going to end up drifting alone. This song really made me realize how messed up I am inside. So much has happened in the past year, I’ve lost so many friends and I’ve done so many things I regret that self reflection hurts. I just want the waves to wash me away and to sink down into the darkness forgotten.
    That being said I’m still glad I found this song, it helped me focus on how I’m feeling. I joke and smile so much I think I actually convinced myself I was happy, which is why I felt weird all the time but didn’t know why. But then I actually looked inward and knew I was lying to myself. It’s like broken glass in there: something that was once beautiful shattered and it’s likely not going to be repaired any time soon.
    Thank you for the beautiful cover of this song, I’ve considered learning this on piano, so we’ll see how that goes. Maybe putting my skills to use will help me, idk. I doubt it.
