Amazing take. A character outside the influence of Griffith, a character outside the effect of the Causality that even Skull Knight hasn't recognised, The idea of good, The human that hurt God.
no skull knight definitely knows something about rickert. he saved him for a reason. also when he brings guts and casca to him skull knight says "this too is connected" implying rickert was always a key player
That slap was soooo cathartic to see!! Aside from that, Rickert is such a loyal friend and innovative when it comes to making weapons/items/gadgets. Great dude.
I remember reading the manga and seeing the slap, i was in shock for days. The balls on him are the biggest in Berserk. Miura’s character development skills were truly marvelous.
Also considered Rickert outside Gutz and Casca the only other living survivor (don’t count Griffith he’s not human anymore) from the original Band of the Hawk. Even if he wasn’t there at the sacrifice event it wasn’t for lack of want or cowardice. He’s what’s good in the world that everyone should protect amongst others.
There is definitely a force that is moving Rickert down a path. Hopefully Rickert will achieve a new dawn for mankind in the land of berserk. Griffith’s dream of being a king at any cost will be thrust upon Rickert at the end and he will be the king mankind needs but with a heavy heart.
This is why I love this book all the characters are so well thought out and written; there’s no waste everyone one is ancillary and Rickard is a great example he’s much more than the guy that fixes guts equipment and evens the playing field for him; he’s so important for so many reason just like everyone else
I feel like I ignored Rickert's side of the story. Not on purpose, I just kinda didn't think he was so significant but now I see that something greater is at work. This was a wonderfully crafted video.
Now that rickert and the kushan assassin are friends, i wanna see some crazy weapons from our boy, he made a rocket launcher in a goddamn cave outta scraps
he was able to slap that jack@$$$ because griffith thought so little of him he never even assumed Rickert might do that also i think because he isnt marked like Guts or Casca.
First, thanks for such amazing Berserk content. You guys are awesome. Also great details so it must have been a lot of work. I'm glad Berserk is continued, at least for the next arc. Though it's hard not to notice the drop in quality of the art and narrative. I'm still supporting them though, Berserk is a work of art.
I hope Rickert will accompany Guts to help rescue Casca and will survive long enough to take down Griffith. He and Guts are like brothers in my opinion
Rickert has WAY more Heart than that Douchebag Griffith that is for sure and a little hero he is deepd down i put rickert in same high altar next to Judeau both are like twin brothers in a way and when you think about he truly is the last Band of the Hawks survivor bless you Rickert but Bless you even more Miura
It is my theory that Rickert will most likely be the individual to fell the Hawk of Light/Femto and the slap is/was just a foreshadow as you see the attempt by Griffith to get him afterwards as he is also shocked he had been touched. It will be due to Causality...
You know the one vine where one guy is trying to do a 'smack-cam' on another guy but then the other guy grabs his hand and makes the first guy smack himself in the face? That better be how this story ends. With Griffith as the first guy, of course.
I have a feeling rickert will be the deciding factor either he takes a Behlet and becomes an apostle and opposes guts or he can be the deciding factor in causality against the god hand 🤚
Oooohhh... Rickert could be a natural part of causality (Think of the Hero's Journey!) But Guts could be the destroyer of the cycle. (We did see that there was a previous Godhand.) And as he works outside of causality, it could mean the death of magic itself. (Magic and demons seem to be linked.)
During the eclipse, after Skull Knight took out Guts and Casca, one of the God Hand said that they are not gods and cannot perceive perfectly the future. My guess is that Griffith did not see the slap coming. My understanding of that meeting is a lot less esoteric than the mainstream explanation (Rickert being outside of Griffith's story). By the way, you implied that the slap did hurt Griffith. I doubt Griffith was hurt. At most, he was startled.
I Fuckin love this guy when I got into Berserk story Respect to this badass engineer / inventor / blacksmith 🔥🔥🔥🔥👊😌🔥🔥🔥 👋😎 Ha!?! Also who here was thinking “Falcon Slap!?!” When he slap the shit outa Griffith
I am guessing that Rickert is going to get killed off by Griffith as some form of sacrifice. I really don't want to see Guts or Casca lose any more members of their family.
Ok so what I don't understand is that in 1997 anime what's with the appearance of rosine when rickert goes to the river to get water , like it makes no sense .
In the old anime I saw Julius (the man assassinated by guts on Griffith's order) slapped his face too, on Griffith's first interaction with the princess.
I don’t think he actually did any actual damage to Griffith. If he back handed slapped him with a gauntlet like in “Men in Tights” then maybe he could have done damage. Though it shows some character growth that he calls Griffith out on his devious behavior and plans.
I may be the first to say this i think griffith allowed him self to be slaped because he remember the scarfice of the young man who wanted to be a knight and regrets it but thats just what i think
Not a form of hatred 3:40. Griffith is nomore whole, carrying 2 souls. He slapped the shizzz out of the demo God. Demo God marked Griffiths weaknesses, but not all of them.
I like to think that Griffith let him do that, he might have become absolutely changed he still is connected to the moonlight boy, and the child prolly forced him to take the hit over his momma
I think they're interchangeable, but calling it Band of the Falcon seems to make more sense considering the name of Griffith's capital city is Falconia.
'Free of concern' is something I seen the apostle who was about to assassinate Rickert say. What if that's the key. Idk where to go from here for Guts tho
Just saying this cause I havent seen anyone else say this. Rickert slapped griffith likely due to the fact there was no malice or hate in it. Guts' will kill griffith only when he changes and abandons his hate or Zodd will let guts kill him after he loses to guts in a fight, his blood allowing the Dragonslayer to kill griffith. Latter just seems to have less character development and doesnt seem like something Miura would do unless he couldnt figure out how Guts would change.
Maybe he represents the idea of good in humanity opposing the idea of evil and its cycle that the world has been stuck as Nvm I made this reply before finishing the vid
my guess: Griffith fucked himself over by assaulting Casca and "playing" with guts. By giving guts time to survive, allowed him to escape the flow of casuality. and by assaulting Casca, he created his weakness of the moonlight boy since guts survived something he shouldn't have,, he could tell ricket's about the eclipse and rickert is A) someone who represented a part of griffith's humanity. and B) someone who crusially isnt part of the sacrifice. plus Due to the moonlight boy he is unlikely to sacrifice casca. so griffith being a petty bitch bit him in the ass and he doesnt even know it.
Amazing take. A character outside the influence of Griffith, a character outside the effect of the Causality that even Skull Knight hasn't recognised, The idea of good, The human that hurt God.
Also that line "Rickert is of drinking age..."
That's not how medieval drinking laws work, MV. If you were 13 you were eligible to drink
no skull knight definitely knows something about rickert. he saved him for a reason. also when he brings guts and casca to him skull knight says "this too is connected" implying rickert was always a key player
That slap was soooo cathartic to see!! Aside from that, Rickert is such a loyal friend and innovative when it comes to making weapons/items/gadgets. Great dude.
He needs to be Protec forever

FACTS and he still survived the Aftermath of the assassination attempts hurled his way!!

After seeing how little impact Guts had against Griffith, that slap takes on new levels of epic.
Rickert the closest thing to pure good in berserk.
In that wiki he is a pure good
This is why I love this book all the characters are so well thought out and written; there’s no waste everyone one is ancillary and Rickard is a great example he’s much more than the guy that fixes guts equipment and evens the playing field for him; he’s so important for so many reason just like everyone else
Rickert: "I am the only one who has slapped Griffith!"
Gennon: "You mean like with your hand or does other stuff count too?"
BRUH 😄😵
Cheeks were smacked in both instancies, indeed...
I feel like I ignored Rickert's side of the story. Not on purpose, I just kinda didn't think he was so significant but now I see that something greater is at work. This was a wonderfully crafted video.

If the idea of evil is real, so is the idea of good.
Big Chads have small beginnings.
If void is the origin/source of evil in the berserk world, rickert is devoid of it.
was "radiance" the word you were looking for?
Rickert has WAY more Heart than that Douchebag Griffith that is for sure
and a little hero he is deepd down
i put rickert in same high altar next to Judeau
both are like twin brothers in a way
and when you think about he truly is the last Band of the Hawks survivor
bless you Rickert
but Bless you even more Miura
I mean sex is cool and all but do you remember the first time you witnesaed the Slap of Falconia

My boy Ricky stands on business.
The only way Guts can defeat Femto is by following in Rickert's footsteps; make peace with the past.
Pimp slapped a God Hand member 😂 😂😂

I miss judo
Theres a slap and then theres a Rickert Slap, learn the difference.
I have a feeling rickert will be the deciding factor either he takes a Behlet and becomes an apostle and opposes guts or he can be the deciding factor in causality against the god hand 🤚

Man only if guts let rickert come with him he would have learned he can slap the shit out of griffith like kno one before

My guess is that Griffith did not see the slap coming. My understanding of that meeting is a lot less esoteric than the mainstream explanation (Rickert being outside of Griffith's story).

I think you’re right. I really want to know more about skull knight and I just want Guts and Casca to live happily ever after. That’s all I want.
Ik bro
I pray they find some kinda way to free Judeau and the other band members from the vortex before the manga ends.
Band of the hawk, band of the hawk, BAND OF THE HAWK
The day Guts lets go and gives up the armour and no longer listens to the Beast of Darkness, is the day Griffith will fall.
Had to pick my jaw up off the floor when the right hand was laid down, so damn satisfying
Record is the best at what he does if anyone messing with that boy on face guts
Rickert's hand must exist in the interstice, hence why it was able to strike Griffith.
Band of the HAWK
Thank you.
RELAX..
In adaptations it was Hawk ..
In manga translation it was Falcon ..
But the resurrected castle is called Falconia
Rickert pimp hand is overpowered.
I Fuckin love this guy when I got into Berserk story
Respect to this badass engineer / inventor / blacksmith

👋😎 Ha!?!
Also who here was thinking
“Falcon Slap!?!” When he slap the shit outa Griffith
I am guessing that Rickert is going to get killed off by Griffith as some form of sacrifice. I really don't want to see Guts or Casca lose any more members of their family.
Nah Rickert is one of the keys to beating the godhand as he's pure hearted he won't get killed by griffith

How to slap a God starter pack......
I used to read the manga from Dark Horse so " the Band of Falcon " sounds so strange to me 🤣
Pimp hand is stronk with this guy 😂
I don’t think he actually did any actual damage to Griffith. If he back handed slapped him with a gauntlet like in “Men in Tights” then maybe he could have done damage. Though it shows some character growth that he calls Griffith out on his devious behavior and plans.
I think you are too slow
10:45 “Seduced” uhhh… yea… that’s one way to put it…
Griffith himself said the only person equal to him is one with his/her own dreams. Hopefully we get to see how this story ends someday.
Specializes in crossbows and slapping Griffith! Lol
Rickert could be a falcon of light
I may be the first to say this i think griffith allowed him self to be slaped because he remember the scarfice of the young man who wanted to be a knight and regrets it but thats just what i think
drinking age? 13? that's when we started
Rickert is the Skull Knight
Please do marvel top ten agent venom villains
4:17 He is not. Guts is 15 at the time and Rickert is definiatelly younger than Guts with at least a year (could be less though).
Rickert was 10 at the time guts was 15 so yeah he def wasn't
Fulcan?
The ONLY MAN AFTER his ascendancy. Ypu got that right because before that good ol' griffith had even his cheeks clapped.
Before the eclipse the gypsy said that he has a great purpose in what to come what did she mean with it?
Not a form of hatred 3:40. Griffith is nomore whole, carrying 2 souls. He slapped the shizzz out of the demo God. Demo God marked Griffiths weaknesses, but not all of them.
Is Skull Knight an Apostle?
I like to think that Griffith let him do that, he might have become absolutely changed he still is connected to the moonlight boy, and the child prolly forced him to take the hit over his momma
He probably will forge guts a new "magic" blade... calling it. obvious*
Why do you call it Band of the Falcon instead of Band of the Hawk??
I think they're interchangeable, but calling it Band of the Falcon seems to make more sense considering the name of Griffith's capital city is Falconia.
If I'm not mistaken it's the Japanese translation
"I am of the Band of The Hawk not The Falcon of Light" (RICKET)
'Free of concern' is something I seen the apostle who was about to assassinate Rickert say. What if that's the key. Idk where to go from here for Guts tho
That is not Ricker with the army that is another young soldier that offers his sword to Griffith Ricker is at the cabin with Erica
I think ubik is the one who gave griffith the behelit disguised as a fortune teller
Rickert is Griffith's son. You're all welcomed
His pimp hand us strong💪
It was skull night who helped him before the eclips started
rickert is stronger than berserker guts
Just saying this cause I havent seen anyone else say this.
Rickert slapped griffith likely due to the fact there was no malice or hate in it. Guts' will kill griffith only when he changes and abandons his hate or Zodd will let guts kill him after he loses to guts in a fight, his blood allowing the Dragonslayer to kill griffith.

Sadly he didnt slapped some Mercy in griffin or goodness
Fuckin legend
Maybe he represents the idea of good in humanity opposing the idea of evil and its cycle that the world has been stuck as

I think Jugo is my fav
Wheres the will smith slap edit?!
Slapped the shit out of Griffith.
Sadly he didnt slap some sanity in
Griffin is such a rotten Apple
I heard UFC is hireing
I see no reason why Rickert couldnt be the actual falcon of light
my guess: Griffith fucked himself over by assaulting Casca and "playing" with guts.
By giving guts time to survive, allowed him to escape the flow of casuality.
and by assaulting Casca, he created his weakness of the moonlight boy
since guts survived something he shouldn't have,, he could tell ricket's about the eclipse
and rickert is A) someone who represented a part of griffith's humanity.
and B) someone who crusially isnt part of the sacrifice.
plus Due to the moonlight boy he is unlikely to sacrifice casca.
so griffith being a petty bitch bit him in the ass and he doesnt even know it.

Nope
