For me, guts vs Grunbeld is probably up there, being the premier of the berserker armor but mostly for the iconic part where guts hears Grunbeld call himself part of the band of the hawk ...
Lost children is my favorite arc and battle as well. It is the start of Guts changing from being as cold and evil as the demons he is hunting to becoming the protector of Caska.
@@juniorvences5275 i really hope that Guts doesn't kill him because i want Guts, Casca and the Moonlight boy to be a happy family with Griffith suffering in Hell
I honestly think Griffith will eventually go into an existential crisis from regaining humanity from the Moonlight Boy’s influence. Either he’ll allow himself to be exorcised or he’ll straight up kill himself and the Moonlight Boy in one last act of spite...
Semi joke but also semi serious, favorite fight, Guts internal battle with his own wants and desires. A man torn apart, searching for a purpose, finds one in the form of a lover and friend then has it taken away almost immediately and desecrated by his once best friend. He found meaning only to suddenly have it warped, but instead of finding out how to work with it's new shape he fills the emptiness with rage. Now, with recent chapters he's attained his goal of helping reshape his loves broken form only to find he can't, as of yet at least, take part in reconnecting with her. These future chapters will decide if he once again goes back to embracing his hatred, it breaks him down further or he doubles down and finds a new way to embrace this life of being the struggler.
Rosine slaughtered the Band of Hawk group that Rickert was in, so there's that. Although I don't think Guts knows that. But he's revenging his brothers by killing Rosine.
Nice list! Guts vs Rosine gotta be on everyone's top 3 atleast! This would be my list. Honerable mentions: Guts vs 100 men Band of the hawk vs bakiraka Guts vs Serpico (second fight) Team Guts vs Bonebeard, squid creatures and sea god, Team Guts vs Morda (pumpkins, scarecrows and wickermen) 10.

RealLifeRyan My guess is that we will definitely see SK in a serious fight going all out, but that will probably be his last fight hen Miura will kill him off😢.
Guts vs those 2 insect apostles that were former knights is really underrated. It showed Guts' tactical thinking because he couldn't brute force his way through that fight. Also the way the 2 apostles used their abilities in tandem to fight was really dope.
@@sebastianb.3978 A game where cute anime girls dance and sing, or something. Miura mentioned it before, just once or twice, and now it's become a giant meme that Idolmasters has slowed his Berserk pace down to a snail's crawl. Also, it's been used as a meme-explanation for why so many more lolis are being shown in Berserk.
@@loudmusic4us179 yeah that it only show when you have strenght you also have an uperhand ,since serpico had to pick the stage for the figth carefully so that he would be cleaved in hlaf instantly.
Guts vs the Holy Iron Chain Knights is usually overlooked because it comes right after the brilliance of the Rosine battle. It's fucking great, especially how Guts becomes too injured to use his sword and starts beating them with his fists.
@BlackSwordsMan I'm jealous lol. Im ashamed to say that 90% of the manga I've read where on my phone. I just got the deluxe volumes of Blame! and I can't think of a better manga to see the panels big. The only manga I'd ever had physically were regular sized but now I'm gonna just look for fancy looking volumes. Claymore is next on my radar.
@BlackSwordsMan did you hear about vagabond potentially(I've been hurt before lol) coming back. I think that's the best sign you could ever get that that's the manga to collect again. Honestly the art and story are so great even unfinished it's worth having.

@@andreiiiksavvv6054 the one where Guts puts a sword in his mouth. Also eh.. this is their only real fight. The first one Griffith one in one stab. And the 3rd is for narrative purposes and is over in one swing. Sure Guts beating Griffith is a top 10 moment in the series without a doubt. But, that wasnt really a fight.
@@tricko8000 I'm pretty sure they were referring to the rematch on The Hill Of The Swords. The first fight wasn't more like a fight, it was more like a plot point for the Golden Age arc. The second one on the other hand, was just a pure 1v1 between a man and an apostle. It was awesome for me honestly.
Pretty good list Ryan except .... why isn't Guts vs Zondark not on this list ? How could you not have this embodiment of pure, unauthorized badassness that is lmao man I can't say that with a straight face. Awesome video as always my man
Damn do I love the Golden Age. The art, the villains, the aestethic, the story, the characters, the low fantasy vibe, I love it all! Great video as always Ryan.
Guts vs Griffith when he leaves the Hawks. The swiftness and decisiveness is a huge contrast to a lot of the other big fights and totally feels samurai-inspired. Plus it’s Guts taking control for himself for once and it’s always nice to see Griffith taken down a peg.
I loved all the Guts battles but my 2 favs have to be 2 which have been in the 97 anime, I think seeing them in motion and sound further added to the intensity. #1 has to be Guts encountering Zodd for the first time in the catacombs. When I saw that scene for the first time, it hooked me to keep watching. The atmosphere was grimm and creepy and Zodd was a mysterious creature for me as a 1st time watcher, it was my intro to the Astral World of Berserk. Also, the mind games/dialogue between Guts and Zodd was superbe, the first time (chronologically) in Guts early adulthood when he was overpowered. #2 For me might be one which some may find too generic but its the fight with the Snake Count, the 1st ep of the Anime. That battle served as a demo of how badass Guts will eventually become. The 1st ep has done its job magnificently for me that I got hooked for the entire story. In that battle Guts uses most of his iconic weapons, hes in full Dark Souls mode, slaying monsters alone, no one to worry about. I guess the manga battle is actually even better since he has Puck by his side, but nevertheless, I loved that scene in the anime. For me, all the Blackswordsman battles are on my top for the reasons I mentioned above. Its been a while since Guts has battled in the current chapters, I hope that when he does again, it will be worth it.
Number one will be when Puck uses the behlit to permanently banish Griffith/Femto to the elf dimension, forever serving as comic relief until the end of time
I'm so glad Guts vs Rosine is at number 1. That fight really is a spectacle and the peak of all berserk fights till now. It was so brutal, raw and over the top that you couldn't help but get sucked into the action. Just image we'd see this fight animated by a great studio some day...
Guts' first battle with the berserker armour was the best for me The panel where his broken limbs are straight up rearranged whilst blood spews out is just badass and straight up concerning for me.
Duuuuude, that's a really great list. Especially the number one that is also my favorite. I really liked Berserk so far at the reading but I just fell in love with it when I saw this fight, so brutal, so much anger and resentment, the development. Also because it's the continuation of the adaptations and was totally new territory. I also liked the small fight between Guts and the Holy Iron Chain Knights, to me it just showed how reluctant was Guts to give up to any fight like before joining the Band of the Hawk.
Surprised this wasn't on the list, but my favorite fight is for sure when Zodd and Guts teamed up to fight against Ganishka in the port town. It was straight up unbelievable to read through and watch everything that was happening, the artwork was of course incredible, and I do believe it was the first time Guts was able to fight while controlling the power of the Berserker armor. I loved every second of it
Excuse me, but I think you forgot the obvious number 1 fight. Guts vs. Big Dick Bazuso! They set up this David vs. Goliath fight, "Did you know the Grey Knight Bazuso fought a bear with his bare hands", then Guts immediately wrecks his shit while Griffith is watching, kicking off the entire story. Without Big Dick Bazuso Berserk could not exist. I think it's not an exaggeration to say that Bazuso is the most important character in all of Berserk. Besides Schnoz
Loved hearing your passion and excitement for each fight man, makes me wanna read it all over again. Keep it up, subbed a few vids ago but this is great stuff
I don't know if you'll read this, but I'm 99% sure Rosine was at the eclipse, and she attacked the band of the Hawk with the slug before the Skull Knight told them off
I loved Mozgus but I wish we had more moments with him and Guts before the fight and that we got to see his reaction when he was dragged into the abyss
Virgin Batman: Nooooooo!!!! Alfred tell him i'am the most tragic character imbued with hopelessness, my power of will is stronger than yours!!! Have you looked in to the face of the abyss?!?!! Chad Guts: YES
My list: 1_ Guts vs Grunbeld 2_ Zodd vs Guts 2 3_ Guts vs Rosine 4_ Wyald vs Guts 5_ The new band of the hawk vs Ganishka. 6_ Griffith and Guts vs Zodd. 7_ The new crew vs Trolls.
Also, on the topic of the Rosine fight, I personally think that this is where Berserk’s art peaked, or at the very least where it’s my favorite. It’s not on Conviction or Millenium Falcon levels of detail, but just the expressiveness and raw emotion put into ever single pen stroke is so breathtaking. It’s Guts at his most disturbed and evil point, and the artwork conveys that so well. And even Rosines expressions are perfect. Now I love Berserks art style as a whole, so I’m not trying to downplay Miura’s work (Rest in Peace) but when I think Berserk, I think Lost Children, and a bit part of that is the art.
My top 10 Battles: 1. Guts vs Mozgus. 2. Guts vs Zodd on the Hill of Swords. 3. Guts vs 100 men. 4. Guts vs Wyald. 5. Guts vs Rosine. 6. Guts vs Griffith before leaving the Band of the Hawk. 7. Guts vs Sea God. 8. Guts vs Serpico. 9. Guts vs Boscogn. 10. Guts vs the Count. PS: I probably forgot/can't remember a bunch of fights.
I will never forget the silhouette of Guts, drenched in blood, a corpse draped over his shoulders, the flames on his body going out, and his one eye glowing. Such a badass and terrifying image.
The fact that Guts can beat some apostles with ease but struggles with Serpico is one of the best aspects of berserk. Guts is sturdy but he is still human. Jon Jones could get into a head on front to front car collision with another human being, walk it off and have the other person in the crash put in the ICU but if you stabbed him in the heart, he'd still die. Guts is just super sturdy and trying to brute force against him isn't really going to get you anywhere. Literal monsters get mashed to bits when they try but Serpico never got intimidated and always aimed at the weakspots so he always stood a chance. Combat isn't about one fighter just being higher leveled than the other, it's about styles, strategies and counters and Serpico showed that off very well. A more experienced Serpico might've beat Guts but wouldn't be able to dent an apostle.
Rosine does attack the Band of The Hawk in the chapter “Festivals Eve”, along with her pseudo apostle bug guards. We may not see her explicitly during the eclipse, but I wouldn’t necessarily discount her being there, as the sheer volume of apostles there was massive.
i think you forget that Guts’ blade was greatly dulled after his fight with the hundred men, which i think is why his sword broke against Boscogn so I think that if he had a brand new blade in the beginning of the fight he would’ve won
I like "the new band of the hawk fighting the Giants" a little more than "the new band of the hawk fighting Ganishka" just becouse there's a little more variety in the enemies, and also really really pretty artwork, . I also like how Caska flights in the 100 man slaying, she is small and less beefier than her enemies, and she targets the gaps in the armor an the weak points, and i really like a lot the chapters 320 and 330 when young Guts use half swording technics to defeat a fully armored opponent
My number one guts vs Griffith guts leaving it’s just so monumental so much will power clashing, only the best would win and I feel in the end either guts vs Femto will be a repete of the same fight ( which is a shame) or there will be no fight ( also a shame) so in the end it’s a lose lose because in the end berserk will have ended and from one of my favorite fictional characters “it’s not about the destination...because getting there is the worthier part.” -Shepard book from joss Wedions Firefly.
My favorite fight is Guts, Schierke, Serpico and the rest vs the troll army. On one hand i like that in this fight it isn´t only Guts in rage vs all the enemys one the other hand i like how the group is working together.
I always picture the fights we didn't see in the black swordsman arc as ones like wyald but guts is a bit more skilled and hateful lol like getting his ass kicked and killing them by any means necessary the only one we saw like that was rosine
I wish i understood the symbolism of guts being born into the world in guts the same way slan was born into the world in guts. I wonder what that means for her character. She is the godhand we know most about
Not really a nod to how good the battle was but i did enjoy guts vs that giant water creature, one of the first fights i think of in the manga just because of the size of that thing.
Personally, I really liked the fight between the snake lord and Guts. I know it wasn't the longest battle or impressive, but it really was an explosive way to introduce the apostles. Something that isn't human, monstrous, evil, fulfilling their "Do what thou wilt" command. It was really a banger way to start off a manga.
Guts VS Serpico in the pillar room was 100% 'round 3.' Didn't even know there was a debate. Just because their first duel was a quick sword draw doesn't mean it wasn't a duel. It was a much of a duel as Guts VS Griffith 'round 2.' One quick strike and then over.
So what's the best fight in Berserk?
Fans: That time when Guts beat up a 15 year old girl.
Rosine's Friend? The count daughter? Caska Golden age?

All right we all know that Guts Vs Griffith second fight is definetly the best because of narrative
Still gonna be tricky, is he gonna kill Griffith even with their child sharing a physical body with Griffith
@@juniorvences5275 i really hope that Guts doesn't kill him because i want Guts, Casca and the Moonlight boy to be a happy family with Griffith suffering in Hell

@@juniorvences5275 I think the moonlight boy sacrifices himself to kill Griffith
I honestly think Griffith will eventually go into an existential crisis from regaining humanity from the Moonlight Boy’s influence. Either he’ll allow himself to be exorcised or he’ll straight up kill himself and the Moonlight Boy in one last act of spite...
I rlly enjoyed the slug count fight since guts tortured the poor guy who was just begging for his life and used his daughter against him.

Loved hearing your passion and excitement for each fight man, makes me wanna read it all over again. Keep it up, subbed a few vids ago but this is great stuff
I don't know if you'll read this, but I'm 99% sure Rosine was at the eclipse, and she attacked the band of the Hawk with the slug before the Skull Knight told them off
I loved Mozgus but I wish we had more moments with him and Guts before the fight and that we got to see his reaction when he was dragged into the abyss
The ultimate battle is coping with Miura’s passing
Virgin Batman: Nooooooo!!!! Alfred tell him i'am the most tragic character imbued with hopelessness, my power of will is stronger than yours!!! Have you looked in to the face of the abyss?!?!!
Chad Guts: YES
Guts: Lol, abyss literally grabbed me by the ankle and I shook it out 😂
I love every scene where guts does something tactical. Guts vs rosine and guts vs the bug guys were some of the best
My list:
1_ Guts vs Grunbeld
2_ Zodd vs Guts 2
3_ Guts vs Rosine
4_ Wyald vs Guts
5_ The new band of the hawk vs Ganishka.
6_ Griffith and Guts vs Zodd.
7_ The new crew vs Trolls.
Also, on the topic of the Rosine fight, I personally think that this is where Berserk’s art peaked, or at the very least where it’s my favorite. It’s not on Conviction or Millenium Falcon levels of detail, but just the expressiveness and raw emotion put into ever single pen stroke is so breathtaking. It’s Guts at his most disturbed and evil point, and the artwork conveys that so well. And even Rosines expressions are perfect. Now I love Berserks art style as a whole, so I’m not trying to downplay Miura’s work (Rest in Peace) but when I think Berserk, I think Lost Children, and a bit part of that is the art.
My top 10 Battles:
1. Guts vs Mozgus.
2. Guts vs Zodd on the Hill of Swords.
3. Guts vs 100 men.
4. Guts vs Wyald.
5. Guts vs Rosine.
6. Guts vs Griffith before leaving the Band of the Hawk.
7. Guts vs Sea God.
8. Guts vs Serpico.
9. Guts vs Boscogn.
10. Guts vs the Count.
PS: I probably forgot/can't remember a bunch of fights.
I will never forget the silhouette of Guts, drenched in blood, a corpse draped over his shoulders, the flames on his body going out, and his one eye glowing. Such a badass and terrifying image.
The fact that Guts can beat some apostles with ease but struggles with Serpico is one of the best aspects of berserk. Guts is sturdy but he is still human. Jon Jones could get into a head on front to front car collision with another human being, walk it off and have the other person in the crash put in the ICU but if you stabbed him in the heart, he'd still die.
Guts is just super sturdy and trying to brute force against him isn't really going to get you anywhere. Literal monsters get mashed to bits when they try but Serpico never got intimidated and always aimed at the weakspots so he always stood a chance. Combat isn't about one fighter just being higher leveled than the other, it's about styles, strategies and counters and Serpico showed that off very well. A more experienced Serpico might've beat Guts but wouldn't be able to dent an apostle.
Berserk fan4life
is it just me or does it look like guts was almost molested by slann?
Rosine does attack the Band of The Hawk in the chapter “Festivals Eve”, along with her pseudo apostle bug guards. We may not see her explicitly during the eclipse, but I wouldn’t necessarily discount her being there, as the sheer volume of apostles there was massive.
Yeah she seemed interested by Rickert but Skullboy came just in time to save him if I remember.
Rickert vs Griffith in Falconia. I cheered him on for that single panel for like 10 straight minutes
i think you forget that Guts’ blade was greatly dulled after his fight with the hundred men, which i think is why his sword broke against Boscogn so I think that if he had a brand new blade in the beginning of the fight he would’ve won
Guts vs Daiba and the kundalini is underrated as well, he literally uses magic without any training and beats a sorcerer.
I like "the new band of the hawk fighting the Giants" a little more than "the new band of the hawk fighting Ganishka" just becouse there's a little more variety in the enemies, and also really really pretty artwork,
.
I also like how Caska flights in the 100 man slaying, she is small and less beefier than her enemies, and she targets the gaps in the armor an the weak points, and i really like a lot the chapters 320 and 330 when young Guts use half swording technics to defeat a fully armored opponent
Lol 😂. My top 1 when guts become a knight of justice defeating enemy while zod was his horse 🐴. Lol
Ive only heard the word epic more in a fortnite vid from 2018
My number one guts vs Griffith guts leaving it’s just so monumental so much will power clashing, only the best would win and I feel in the end either guts vs Femto will be a repete of the same fight ( which is a shame) or there will be no fight ( also a shame) so in the end it’s a lose lose because in the end berserk will have ended and from one of my favorite fictional characters “it’s not about the destination...because getting there is the worthier part.” -Shepard book from joss Wedions Firefly.
My favorite fight is Guts, Schierke, Serpico and the rest vs the troll army. On one hand i like that in this fight it isn´t only Guts in rage vs all the enemys one the other hand i like how the group is working together.
I always picture the fights we didn't see in the black swordsman arc as ones like wyald but guts is a bit more skilled and hateful lol like getting his ass kicked and killing them by any means necessary the only one we saw like that was rosine
I think there should be an honorable mention where Guts ride on top of Zod to fight Genishka in his mist form.
Guts vs Rosine isn't just the best fight in the series for me, it's one of my favorite fights in Manga period
I wish i understood the symbolism of guts being born into the world in guts the same way slan was born into the world in guts. I wonder what that means for her character. She is the godhand we know most about
Puck vs the demons attacking passed out Guts. That's my favorite.
Guts vs the godhand in the black swordman arc it wasn't really considered an figth but I consider it as one
The best fight was obviously donovan vs gut's cheeks
#1. Incapacitated Guts vs Donavan.
No Guts vs Count? I love that fight
Not really a nod to how good the battle was but i did enjoy guts vs that giant water creature, one of the first fights i think of in the manga just because of the size of that thing.
Anime version of Berserk didn't get the justice it deserves 😤😤
Personally, I really liked the fight between the snake lord and Guts. I know it wasn't the longest battle or impressive, but it really was an explosive way to introduce the apostles. Something that isn't human, monstrous, evil, fulfilling their "Do what thou wilt" command. It was really a banger way to start off a manga.
Fuck I just LOVE that MOTHERFUCKING ZODD applause - ZODD is literally my most favorite character in MOTHERFUCKING BERSERK 😂
Guts VS Serpico in the pillar room was 100% 'round 3.' Didn't even know there was a debate. Just because their first duel was a quick sword draw doesn't mean it wasn't a duel. It was a much of a duel as Guts VS Griffith 'round 2.' One quick strike and then over.
