Skull knight got impeccable taste that’s all imma say
Skull Knight, truly a man a culture.
Yes, she's thicc af...
It's the lips man... THEM BIG OL' LIPS
A man of fine taste indeed
@Cynical Frenchface Whats to say: SK has insane sword/horse/power and now chick...
The idea that Guts' is Skull Knight's redemption in flesh is actually pretty cool.
idk maybe it's just me but that always seemed like a possible foreshadowing since the introduction of the armor. it's a story about cycles so my first thought was "oh okay Guts is to cycle SK"
@@jamalcalypseI’m fully convinced you’re right but I hope they either subvert or expectations or at least make it a great sacrifice/build up.
Not expecting a happy ending but I really hope it’s not blatantly obvious.
@@milesdugganMiura said guts would get a happy ending, don’t worry
Danann have to be his daughter to establish another parallelism between him and Guts and his supernatural son.
Very interesting
Omgg
i feel like this is more likely
"People call me crazy whenever I saw that Berserk is a love story."
This is exactly the reason I stay, my dude. You're my favorite Berserk analyst because of the importance you place on this. ♥️
Even miura says its a Shojo manga more than anything
Honestly, the emotions in Berserk are one of the major factors as to why it's considered the best (and in my opinion, it is the BEST).
The best of love stories 😭
@@whirlwind872 i just hope his assistants know this.
Is "struggle" an emotion?
Berserk is really sad, if only Griffith simply put his Grasses nothing would have been wrong and the Band of the Hawk would have survived!
wong*
If only guts stayed with the band if the hawk 😭
😂😂😂
@@monicatmura a
@@DammnDeejay If only Guts never heard Griffith talking to Charlotte that night. 🤧
Great theory, but i think Dannan is his daughter, maybe born on a similar way to how the moonlight-boy was born (you know, involving magic). Maybe even Flora was responsible for Dannan's birth using some kind of magic (aka the tabboo)
Maybe she is the child of skull knight and void if we are going full parallel to femto and guts
Danann is most certainly a women, she is named after Danu, the Irish mother goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
I like how Miura has made reference to Celtic mythology, especially since Fae (Fairies) feature heavily in Irish mythology/folklore.
As for what she is, she could very well be SK's daughter, and it seems Flora was banished for binding SK's soul to his armour, and turning him into a Revenant.
"... and turning hum into a Revenant"
Ok, later no one complain if Doomguy rips into the manga and kills him and everything goes to shit.
More.
And the Kelpie
Yea that sounds like a good theory, but i dont think they would leave a cliffhanger like that for something like that. Not much of a big reveal
also his armor looks it was forged with the actual bones of the guy.
@@redblade5556 damn that is metal
When even a dead guy with no emotions whatsoever still visits his waifu is some love and dedication
Mad respects besides being an absolute badass
Its his daughter
Skull knight definitely has emotions. He wouldn’t visit as grave otherwise
@@kurm7161 incest time then
@@jnetwork3232 what the fuck
@@jnetwork3232🤔
The love story between Guts and Casca is my favorite part of Berserk!
Also are you still watching Yashahime? Are you liking it?
What if skull knight’s girl was pregnant like casca and the forbidden magic saved the baby
That one scene where she says “welcome to elfhelm travelers” feels right out of Lord of The Rings when the fellowship arrives to Galadriel’s domain.
9:46 "It's just a theory, a BERSERK THEORY"
Belisarius is that you??
@@Esenin472 You bet your sweet, damn bippy it is!
i feel like this is actually his daughter
Maybe
Maybe
Could be
That would make SK shadow gutts even more! I like this theory
big possibility. though considering the elf nature of Danann. she could have well been Gaiseric's mother-in-law, or sister-in-law as well.
I really like this theory. The only other possibility I can see is that danaan is like the sk version of the moonlight boy.
So void would be able to hijack her body on all but Full Moon nights?
@@misters6749 plot twist? Lol
Are there full moons on that island?
Skullknight called Dannan man because she is "One of the boys".
THANK YOU for saying Berserk is a love story! It is so important!!!!!!!!
I feel like the REASON that the newer anime adaptations and movies have failed is that they didn’t nurture and build Casca and Guts’ relationship from all their manga scenes and chose instead to hurry to the “action” cause they thought that’s what the fans wanted.
They are wrong. If I wanted to watch an action big sword guy series then I’d watch shounen.
I think Berserk is a character focused series which includes a love story but that’s not the only thing it is. It’s a very character focused series.
@@Jason-ty4dl Agreed. Romance is definitely not the only aspect. Though I think it drove the initial conflict to a breaking point for The Griffith-Guts-Casca dynamic.
@@HollowKonpaku I think love is just one of the aspects that pushes the plot of the series but it all comes down to the characters and how their actions have influenced their lives that they live. Each character has their own worldview and philosophy which drives them to their dream.
For me is Both a Dark fantasy,a psycology Thriller and a love story.
My theory is King Gaiseric and Void was once warlord who dreamed of conquering the world. Void could've been his right hand or adviser. Then when it was time to conquer Elfheim King Gaiseric fell in love with the elf queen which made him changed and forgets his dreams of conquer. Void didn't approved of this and something happened and Void was tortured as punishment. Because of this he sacrificed Gaiseric's kingdom or army to become a God hand.
It has to mirror the guts/Griffith relationship somehow
@@post-leftluddite it does, but Guts is Gaiseric while Void is Griffith where they both started with the same ambition of world conquest. But then Gaiseric having fallen in love with the elf queen destroyed that ambition for Void so he sacrificed everything.
I really think that's probable since there's also the fact that flora was banished from Elfheim for performing a taboo. I'm pretty sure that taboo has to connect to Skull Knight and the Elf Queen somehow. Which would not only explain how tf is Skull Knight is still even alive after that event, why Skull Knight has a connection to Elfheim, the taboo Flora performed, who's Void and why theres a link between him and Gaiseric, and finally explains how Gaiseric's kingdom just vanished. Really think that we're onto something here.
The only problem is that you can't sacrifice someone else's people.
Void can't make a sacrifice because it is not his people to sacrifice, unless, he was actually Giseric and the true story was lost to time.
@@KhepriX I don’t think he is gaiseric I think he is the original creator of the Holy See’s and was propaganda for the idea of evil
I like the idea of ressurection of danann. but i think after she had ressurected, she no longer have her human memories and SK think it'd be better that way bcs of the terrible memories of the eclipse just like casca experienced? So that's why he told guts about regaining casca's memories "what you wish for, may not be what she wishes for" because in his case SK had chosen to not regaining danann's human memories
This theory is actually one of the more grounded and believable ones, one day we shall know for sure
Its pretty obvious to me the taboo was penetrating the vortex to pull out skullknight and bind his soul to the current armor he wears. Messing with the eclipse is a sure way to place a target on your back.
Which would be why Griffith saw her as a threat that needed to be killed.
Imagine if guts choosing not to fight anymore breaks the cycle of causality
Ngl that's just boring haha
And then Guts’ team meets up with Rickert’s squad and live happily ever after, the good ending
@@ken948 I wouldn't mind that, they went through enough shit.
If Guts decides not to fight anymore, he will die.
That's the whole point of the story, since the first arc.
@@agamemnonofmycenae5258 thats what makes it so surprising, whatever breaks the 'loop'
SK definitely has emotions of some kind, in the tower of conviction he went out of his way to save luka and spend time talking to her and leave her in a safe spot
Fun fact about Fey, Titania is referred to as the king, I would assume they were actually being quite true to Fey mythology
I heard than it was common for female rulers to not use "queen" but the title "king" instead just to make sure everyone knew who was in charge. It's only later on that the word "queen" was associated with authority.
It's possible the Berserker King and his Queen both died during Void's Eclipse and their souls were actually sucked into the hell vortex, but Flora, unable to accept this horrible reality, tried to bring them back in whatever way she could. Their souls were gone, but their bodies were recovered, and from them Flora took the hatred, rage, and desire for vengeance that lingered in the Berserker armor of the King and transferred that energy into the Skull Knight armor, becoming an entity of pure vengeance. And from the Queen's lifeless body Flora created what we now see as Danann.
or just Danann being their daughter.
How could Dannan be the ruler of Elfhem if she is a product of a taboo and flora was kicked off the island for that same taboo?
@@redblade5556 How could Ghiseric, a human, and his woman, a human, give birth to a non-human?
@@post-leftluddite Gaiseric could be an elf
His origins are mysterious AF
The woman looks like danaan
Puck said skull knight felt like an elf, and SK also somehow knew that Godot's cave was once occupied by elves and he knew a lot about them in general
@@post-leftluddite uhhh...his woman also has elf ears...or if they were both human then Gaiseric's recessive genes can show up in their child...
I cant wait to find out in ten years
Your theory is very plausable. It makes sense.
Her mausoleum is right bellow the magic tree which emanates tremendous power and connects worlds. I can see SK's lover soul being sumoned and then born from the tree itself.
I went to subscribe only to find out I’m already subscribed. Much love bro keep doing what you do. Love the videos
I think that Floras taboo act was either putting The Skull kings soul into the armor or doing some sort of taboo revival of skull nights wife but the person who is revived isn’t the same person as they were. (Which is a funny little way of showing that nothing forced back will ever be quite the same) OR that Dannan is her sister or something
Your theories are amazing man. I love listening to your videos while drawing. Thank you
I love this guy's videos damnn just binging through your theories and they're entertaining and just as also accurate
Reminds me of davy jones and calypso's relationship in pirates of the Caribbean.
Facts
Holy Moly, I was wondering the same thing tho.. No wonder it's a better story than twilight.
Biggest plot twist in Berserk Danaan is a man.
Another plot twist... The demonic infant is a girl but takes on a male form due to Griffith. The sex hasn't really been revealed yet.
no Danaan is Donovan
@@anlockcharacter1104 No, Casca was Donovan in drag this whole time.
@@keith8880 man, Donovan should be the main character not the lame guts
Miura would have definitely played with my emotions yet again
Really admire your work and content Ryan
I think Skull knight underplays his own feelings because it is too painful otherwise. He lost everything. All that heartache has wrung him dry. Emotionally so exhausted he is just running on fumes. His poetic talk is just his way of conveying that his grief is so complete it has comsummed all he was. He just goes through the motions. Because all he feels is this deep need to mourn. Revenge for her and his kingdom...it is just the excuse he gives himself to keep putting one foot in front of the other instead of just letting himself just drift away.
Ryan coming out with another bangr
Nice theory man. Eager to see what happens in the next episode of Berk
Been subbed since 300 love this channels original takes
My ultimate Theory: Skull Knight will become the ultimate evil at the end, replacing the god hand and becoming the god middle finger to all berserk fans
thank you ryan i have been saying this since the new chapters release and all my homies been clowning me for it
I like how you really think about manga story's like this like contemplating and putting piece of BLAME! made me really think deep about manga stays I can usually guess the whole arc from a few chapters and really deep diving lol

Game that broken community tab, RLR could put a few posts and a poll or two on there with the top searches pasted in there and the algorithm will provide.
Great video, lines up pretty well with my own conclusions about that chapter.
The Berserk's armor is a cursed item. When you wear it, its Od incessantly fuels your battle lust and drowns out everything else, making you go berserk.In Guts' case, those feelings are represented by the Beast of Darkness, so the armor took on that shape. , when we first saw the Berserk's armor its helmet was shaped like a skull. That tells us that for Gaiseric, those feelings were represented that way. It doesn't necessarily mean he had "an inner beast" just like Guts, though. It could just be a way to represent his fighting spirit.
I had a similar theory that the "taboo" committed was somehow using the energy of the spirit tree/elfhelm to preserve the lover, or merge with them and reincarnate, however they are no longer the same person, just being used as a vessel. Taboo for the same reason as you suggested, and explains why that location is both the grave/resting point of the lover, and Danaan's appearance. I just think the assumption that the taboo committed was binding SK's soul/whatever to the armor is possibly a little too obvious, and might be intentionally misleading.
To preserve Priestess unborn child- Dannan.
Very good theory, you explained what i was thinking 😀
Feel no shame about shape

Long live Macaroni! Long live BERK!
Dress as Donovan and I'll consider it.
Wow very interesting theory man! Never thought of that 😵 I remember I was like this the first couple of years after finding Berserk, coming up with wild theories left and right. Listening to your enthusiasm I almost get jealous, I kinda miss it y'know lol 😤😁 You're very inspiring in that way 😎✊
And I love the comedy 😁👌
I wonder if Guts will defeat Griffith and then just walk away, again.
Now we will never know the truth
With the recent chapters, Berserk seems to be more about the story of Skull Knight, and guts & co. Are side characters/just told from their perspective.
In most stories side characters are like fish, that can not jump out of the water, but main characters ( plot armor) can do things that are usually impossible to do.
SK saved Guts & Casca. To prevent history from repeating itself.
We see a giant city, one empire similar to the one 1000 years ago.
SK sword can cut through space and time. We’ve seen it cut through space, but I wonder if the time aspect will occur. With every 216 years a Kbehelet becomes active.
What would spawn if a city of humans AND apostals were sacrificed including a god hand member? ( As Griffith is the first GH member to have a physical body.)
Very good theories to say the least... i'm definitely looking for ward to the next chapter!
These vids plus a meal is a good combo
On Danann being referred to as King, it is probably one of those cases of king being used in the gender neutral sense. In European history (mostly in central and easten europe like Hungary, Poland, Ukraine etc.) there have been instances of female Kings. It was down to there being no (blah blah. Some medieval legal stuff) for a queen to be a ruling monarch, so the woman was crowned as a king instead.
There’s also examples of these terms of rank being used in the gender neutral sense in other writings and fiction. Some Daedric Princes (masculine term) often having female voices and bodies, and being generally female-presenting; Nocturnal, Azura etc
You have a good take on what a ghost is. I have also liked the theory that it’s the spirit or “disembodied being” and they longer because they cannot disobjectify with this corporeal realm
I think of ghosts as disembodied dreams connected to the physical world which is why they are so unpredictable and strange acting with little limits and reason.
This was a great video
5:17 Kingdom Hearst 2 Secret Boxx "The lingering Will" its not until birth by sleep is when you find out that bosses backstory and it aligned to your theory about how you view ghosts as not as people but a remnant of an emotion. an emotion so strong it willed itself to remain. In alot of ghost stories the same principle applies, a spirit with regrets or a feeling so strong that it remained behind after the soul passes.
8:32 this could be why skull knight says “your wish may not be her wish” he could be speaking from experience
i feel like this theory works for where we are in berserk
So the other day I was washing dishes listening to your berserk manga analysis on repeat when a thought passed my mind. I have a real up the balls theory about skull knight. And it's my headcannon that the reason he first referred to the flower storm monarch as king was because HE was the previous king of elfhell. Oh yeah now we're cooking. The legend of king giser something states he was a man from foreign land who came out of nowhere. Hmm a magical hidden island perhaps? And his armour seemed very unique and would be difficult to be crafted by a human...maybe it was made by DWARVES HMM? And the reason he is knowledgable about magic and the like is that while growing up on elfhell he had close ties with the mages since he was the king of the elves? Then remember when puck mentioned skull knight felt like an ELF when he first met him? HMMM?!?!?!?? Tin foil hat type shit but to me it adds up. Also the army raised out of nowhere? POWERFUL MAGIC PERHAPS?
This sounds crazy but remember this, it has never been OFFICIALLY stated king geysuckrock was a human specifically. Afterall, why would a normal human warrior/king know about elfhell? HMM?!?!?!
That is such a solid theory
I’ve for a time thought Skull Knight to be a revenant, a corporeal spirit remaining only for vengeance. Jason Voorhees would be another example. Thanks for this fun vid. 😊
Dude I still have that Zodd song stuck in my head
Damn that cut deep 8:44
Amazing bro
In geek myth the goddess flora brought someone back to life using roses.
Ah yes, the geeks and their myths
@@virginiaandrade8009 💀💀bro that had me dead thanks bro 😭🤣
Impressive theory, my version is a little bit different, assuming that his lover is a high status priestess/witch she should have an elf with her (a powerful one) i believe in light of their final moment of the eclipse out of desperation Flora fuses the priestess soul with her elf and that explains why she has 2 forms, and i think Flora's situation in the eclipse is somewhat like Rickert, just that in SK time Flora found out sooner
bruh that subscriber segue was too smooth...
Maybe Danann is just like Peekaf. Anyone thought of that?
I had mused to myself on occasion... wondering what-if the fairy tale of King Gaiseric, and the story about Peekaf, both refer to the same person. after all, to Puck, SK felt similar to an elf. yet he is in a dwarven armor. so I considered two possibilities. first, he felt elf like to Puck because while crafted by a dwarf, the armor come from his home land. it felt like an elf, cause the armor came from Skellig. though then, there is the possibility he felt like a elf, because whatever was left of him was transferred into, and bound to his armor...and he was in life at least partly of elven decent, or...healed... as Peekaf was in life and as such was, in part of elven nature.
You make a good point.
Wow 😲 well said
Love your intro song Ryan - I'm gonna loop it write a verse to it
Thank you
You are doing God's work
this feels VERY accurate
Compared to many others, this is a sound theory. And you can't deny the look those two have, with SK peering deep into her eyes. The way that he stands there, you can tell he once would have held her tight and never let go. Now he cannot feel as he once did.
bad news
i just caught up reading berserk and now i’m in pain again
I think for the title of flower storm monarch “king” in this instance is neutral. It can be a man or a woman.
THAT WAS AMAZING THEORY
Great video
Ok freedom
5:20 Your understanding of "ghosts" is accurate. Though people also see "souls," though they aren't ghosts. They also see other... Things. Not unlike Berserk, it's complicated.
Theory as it may be, but makes perfect sense to me.
Dude your intro is FIRE!
I really liked the calcium-chan parts of this chapter
Yo where can I get that guts pic
You got my subscription.
I think it's poetic that Miura died at the turning point, with the arrival of moonlight boy and the decision Guts have to make
V gor Vendetta springs to mind
Where do I get the remix of Behelit used in the intro?
I thought that I've gone mad coz I'm hearing the song guts theme in the background but it was really there
9:39 Where does this panel come from? I don't remember seeing it in chapter 364 or before and it seems as if it was after Guts learned the truth about the child. Was it in manga, or is it fan-made?
I just got into this series last week by watching the 2016 Berserk and honestly the 3D style they went for wasn’t that bad. Dub ain’t bad either. And so far my favorite characters are Guts, skeleton knight and Gut’s friends
I honestly think this theory is so good and accurate
it might just be a fact
I have a feeling that the next few chapters with the moonlight boy is what's going to signal the final arc of this story.
just goofy enough to justify sticking around for..Sub earned. Berserk is a brilliant remix of SO many influences;
Escher, Lovecraft, Giger, Bosch, Frazetta, and many Manga cues as well.
An observation I noticed is the way she held king gaisec was like casca held guts during the last part of the side story in the PS2 game before she disappears.
Its weird how someone as terrifying war-torn as Skull Knight is casually standing right next to magical fairy-like elves
