I love how Miura never made Guts a villain. No one goes through all that and ends up a Saint, but he still cares for humanity and for those around him. He’s as human as you can be
I mean you never know he could still break especially after 368 I mean corrupted guts one even more sadistic that the black swordsman arc would be a sight to behold and completely understandable but I also know he would come back
@@Rex-X-Dark I’m waiting for Guts to just completely break. I would hate to see it happen but I know it will eventually. He even has a behelit and I know he would do anything to see Griffith dead. That’s why I love where the series is going because it’s so unpredictable
I think the most traumatic experience of his life was when his foster father sold him and he got sexually assaulted.. You could later see how traumatic this night was for guts because when he made love with casca he almost choked her because he got those horrible PTSD casca being the reason this trauma slowly healed was so heartwarming
Yeah that really shines through when he and casac we’re together and she tried to touch him. It’s just so sad that he went through that especially as a child.
Inspiring? Bro, main character literally cannot catch a break. Everything that can go wrong does. Even when he does things the right way he is pelted with failure and disappointment. Every shred of hope he could possibly have keeps getting ripped up further. He’s finally getting a group of comrades again and he’s about to lose them all over…again. He’s already nearing or past his prime and theres only so much more he can take before he either bites it or ends it. I just want to see how much pain he must endure before his story ends
@@isaacshadow100 my dude, as corny as it sounds I look up to Guts, Miura and this character helped me throughout years of mental illness, imagine having panic attacks where you can't get a rest, can't sleep you are even afraid of your parents or even the person you think is the most valuable or trustworthy. it was hell, non stop fear coming from everything, everyone and everywhere. But I managed to go through, for looking up at a fictional character that takes it in the ass every day of his life, I don't care if it sounds childish, a manga character and his author saved my sanity.
This is why Guts is the GOAT, Guts never give up even the way who he constantly lives in hell every day. He dosen't give a fuck about destiny Massive respect for him for not being a antagonist who want to destroys the world with hatred and rage, Guts is a struggler and his mentality inspires me to be a better person and make me very proud about Kentaro Miura.
The Chad "just want to live with my woman and fish in peace" protagonist vs the virgin "am I just as bad as the villain if I make bad people have a booboo?" anti-hero protagonist
And also the characterization is on point, as you said, it would be "normal" if any character decided to give a fu to the world, but not Guts, not the way Miura portrayed him the whole manga. At the beginning of the story he's more ruthless, trying not to care about anything besides his revenge, but it causes him more pain to be that way bc that's not who he is.
You didn't mention this one. But, for me one of the worst amd saddest moments for Guts is after the eclipse when he runs to the forest and he thinks about his dead friends and all he has been taking for granted. The agony Guts must have felt and coming to the realisation that you have lost everything again. That was pure sadness
I dont think there is another protagonist that suffered as much as Guts. The universe really hated him but he never gave up, that's what makes him my (and probably everyone else who has read Berserk) favorite Protagonist in all of fiction
For all those curious: Haphephobia is the fear of being touched, while people who suffer from this can become scared or paralyzed some, like Guts, can feel intense anger or hatred towards the one who touched them.

When casca first regained her sanity and was about to actually reunite with guts for the first time in years was one the happiest I've ever felt reading a Manga....but then the trauma happened and I nearly yeeted my phone into the sky
I´ve always said that the fate of Guts at the end of the story is to die along with Griffith.... But mann after watching this video I just want to see happy guts, dude deserves it lmao
I think by 1 or 2 bad things that happened to him justifies his "edgelord" or "traumatized" character but the eclipse singlehandedly reinforces that by 3000%
You are absolutely right about what you said in the beginning.An author should do whatever they want with their story. Funny enough those SJW and Twitter idiots only criticise Miura for the rape scenes,but when it’s about gore and mass murder they never say anything.Ironic isn’t it?
Rape being judged harshly in stories is honestly a good thing. It is so often done poorly, as wish fulfilment for the creator of the story. Holding it to a high standard is expected when 99% of the time its just dreadful, and people being aprehensive because of it, and judging a story harshly without having read it for it having notorious rape scenes is not surprising, as again, 99% of the time the apprehension is warranted. Berserk is very much an exception. So what is different about berserk? Very simple. Its the consequences. In most things, rape is not handled with the severity it should be. The consequences are not shown beyond the scene after. However in berserk, the rape scenes all have major impacts on the characters, just as a death would. Because in berserk, rape is treated like it is, a severely violent act, a demonstration of someones power of you. And that fucks people up. Guts deals with the trauma his entire life, struggling with human contact, not being able to be separate from his sword, and not being able to open up to people, some of which may have existed without the rape but not to the same extent. His trauma also is treated very realistically. The rape of casca literally breaks her. She was already on the edge, literally suicidal not long before this, so having the eclipse happen along with the rape, she broke. There is also the later not exactly rape but when guts choke slammed casca and would have raped her if he had not come back to his senses. This had direct consequences, casca now fears guts, being in her child-like state she cant be reasoned with either, so while guts can rationalise and temporarily suppress his issues with being touched, casually cant. Farnese and the horse was not a rape, but again was pretty fucking close. This one is a bit iffy, im not a fan of it for that reason, but it still works as a way of exemplifying how fucked guts' world is to Farnese, and breaking her out of her ideology. Then there is wyald. Wyald is just bad. Thats the one bad prominent rape scene in berserk. The entire time I was reading that it felt like it was just miura making an excuse for casca to get her tits out. Wyald is the only real bad part of berserk, that bit is a blight that I see every time I reread berserk. To sum up, berserk treats rape with the gravity that it holds, and does not treat it lightly as far other stories do. This treatment from other stories will make people wary of anything involving rape, and likely to judge it harshly if they have not read it.
@@jambott5520 I agree 100% with everything you said. My problem is that some readers turn a blind eye when they see people mutilated,devoured by demons,dying in the worst way possible and their problem is only the rape?Also don’t forget it’s a middle age dark fantasy.That’s hypocrisy in my opinion.
I have to agree. The wyald rape scenes are the only ones that don’t feel like they really have a purpose other than to say “wylad bad” which prompts an immediate no shit response. The others at lest have narrative value, even if they make us as the reader uncomfortable (and they absolutely should). It’s the only scene people have a very valid point about. Outside of that one instance I wish people would stop trying to water berserk down. You don’t get the emotional highs when a character overcomes their trauma without the understanding of the trauma to begin with. What makes the wounds section such a good few chapters is that it’s healing for both characters. And we can sympathize with guts because we’ve seen first hand his trauma with Donovan and what it did to him. We don’t have to always like the darkness of berserk, but Miura was pretty spot on in most cases with appropriately mixing them into the story and using dark themes in his storytelling. And that’s pretty respectable.
Don’t forgot that the Berserker armor is also slowly degrading Guts body. He’s barely able to hold the Dragonslayer in one hand, he’s slowly losing his sight, he’s staring to lose his sense of taste (I think), he losing weight, gained so much scars, and he’s looks in his late thirties or in his fourties’ despite being in his early twenties
That’s not true, Guts is in his early 20s in the beginning of the series. As of right now he’s supposed to be in his late thirties or early 40s as well as Casca. When Guts left Griffith before the eclipse they were 24-27 year old and it’s been 15 years in the manga since the eclipse.
@@BBardotbro no offense but like, are you dense? you know real life time doesn’t work as the same as in fictional works right? the world always stops moving but a book can discontinue production for years and leave the story on hold, literally just like berserk did
Guts's tenacity and stubbornness to push forward and survive, whether it's for revenge or love, is truly awe-inspiring. I mean, he watched fukkin' GOKU's head explode, and I don't know how you can come back from that.
Imagine anime group therapy where every MC shares their stories. Now imagine guts is the first to go, and he starts with "i was born under the lynched corpse of my mother after her body voided its contents and my first breath was me hitting the floor in her deceased fluids" the entire room gonna stand up and walk away realizing they dont have it so bad
I don't think first thing Guts need is therapy, dude can handle most of them if things go slightly better. He just needs a goddamn moment of peace :D Still pretty funny comment
When Griffith finally gets dragged to Hell screaming in pain and dismay and disbelief and fear, when Guts finally beats his fucking head in and makes him eat his own teeth OH!!! Bro l can't wait to see it PLEASE MISTER MORY MAKE IT HAPPEN
I remember the first time I read this years ago, I've finished the first 100 chapters in a night, I remember the slap Rickret gave Griffith it gave me so much satisfaction I was smiling the whole day, after that when Casca regained her soul and saw Guts got a meltdown I cried for him.
Hi masked great video as usual. If you want, I recommend you to make a video on revengful characters, that is one type of character that i find very interesting. Keep on with your content bro🫂
A lot of berserk haters swear that fans love to self insert with guts, well if you ask me, that’s basically like screaming “I haven’t read berserk” through a megaphone for the whole world to hear.
Man I don't some pretty spicy food today..I think that's the worst thing that's happened to my Guts , at-least today. Cant believe you went through all that masked.
Please make you next video about all the good things that happened to Guts, I know it will be short, but I at least need to be reminded of all the good things that happened to my boy
Honestly I’m glad that the newer chapters were more light hearted tbh,like the last two arcs were wayyyyy less dark than like the first few arcs,sadly it seems like it’ll continue being dark again
Please, for the love of God; your voice is decent enough for voice overs but if you extend that last syllable like "maybe the minor onessssssss" Perfect content. Appreciate you g
Damn right, man. You tell those Twitter snowflakes. If they can't handle it, they should look for a different manga instead of cursing a phenomenal artist who is sadly no longer with us. You have my respect and you've gained my sub.

Guts is pretty much the real hero story where they go through the most tragedy out of everyone
This makes me want to reread Berserk. I DON’T WANNA CRY AGAIN! (Which I didn’t actually do, but I could see it happening if I was more emotional)
I´ve always said that the fate of Guts at the end of the story is to die along with Griffith.... But mann after watching this video I just want to see happy guts, dude deserves it lmao
I think by 1 or 2 bad things that happened to him justifies his "edgelord" or "traumatized" character but the eclipse singlehandedly reinforces that by 3000%
Miura was Guts' worst enemy
Masked man: "my Boi can't catch a break!"
Guts if he were around: it's every Monday for me.
Now that was out of pocket to do this video Masked ! I don’t need to cry right now 😭😭😭
I’ve never read berserk but seeing the first thing being his birth and how it’s described is hilariously insane
Griffith: I like you and I want you, now we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way
The choice is yours lol
@@isaiahmccormick291 no tf it wasn't
There ain’t no blessed rest of the day after being reminded of all those atrocities my boy Guts went and still going through 😭
This video reminded me of how bad Griffith really is..
Something bad: exists
Guts: And I took that personally.
other way 😭
You are absolutely right about what you said in the beginning.An author should do whatever they want with their story.
Funny enough those SJW and Twitter idiots only criticise Miura for the rape scenes,but when it’s about gore and mass murder they never say anything.Ironic isn’t it?
Yeah that's a hypocrisy I've always noticed
Rape being judged harshly in stories is honestly a good thing. It is so often done poorly, as wish fulfilment for the creator of the story. Holding it to a high standard is expected when 99% of the time its just dreadful, and people being aprehensive because of it, and judging a story harshly without having read it for it having notorious rape scenes is not surprising, as again, 99% of the time the apprehension is warranted. Berserk is very much an exception.
So what is different about berserk?
Very simple. Its the consequences. In most things, rape is not handled with the severity it should be. The consequences are not shown beyond the scene after. However in berserk, the rape scenes all have major impacts on the characters, just as a death would. Because in berserk, rape is treated like it is, a severely violent act, a demonstration of someones power of you. And that fucks people up.
Guts deals with the trauma his entire life, struggling with human contact, not being able to be separate from his sword, and not being able to open up to people, some of which may have existed without the rape but not to the same extent. His trauma also is treated very realistically.
The rape of casca literally breaks her. She was already on the edge, literally suicidal not long before this, so having the eclipse happen along with the rape, she broke. There is also the later not exactly rape but when guts choke slammed casca and would have raped her if he had not come back to his senses. This had direct consequences, casca now fears guts, being in her child-like state she cant be reasoned with either, so while guts can rationalise and temporarily suppress his issues with being touched, casually cant.
Farnese and the horse was not a rape, but again was pretty fucking close. This one is a bit iffy, im not a fan of it for that reason, but it still works as a way of exemplifying how fucked guts' world is to Farnese, and breaking her out of her ideology.
Then there is wyald. Wyald is just bad. Thats the one bad prominent rape scene in berserk. The entire time I was reading that it felt like it was just miura making an excuse for casca to get her tits out. Wyald is the only real bad part of berserk, that bit is a blight that I see every time I reread berserk.
To sum up, berserk treats rape with the gravity that it holds, and does not treat it lightly as far other stories do. This treatment from other stories will make people wary of anything involving rape, and likely to judge it harshly if they have not read it.
@@jambott5520 I agree 100% with everything you said. My problem is that some readers turn a blind eye when they see people mutilated,devoured by demons,dying in the worst way possible and their problem is only the rape?Also don’t forget it’s a middle age dark fantasy.That’s hypocrisy in my opinion.
I have to agree. The wyald rape scenes are the only ones that don’t feel like they really have a purpose other than to say “wylad bad” which prompts an immediate no shit response. The others at lest have narrative value, even if they make us as the reader uncomfortable (and they absolutely should). It’s the only scene people have a very valid point about. Outside of that one instance I wish people would stop trying to water berserk down. You don’t get the emotional highs when a character overcomes their trauma without the understanding of the trauma to begin with. What makes the wounds section such a good few chapters is that it’s healing for both characters. And we can sympathize with guts because we’ve seen first hand his trauma with Donovan and what it did to him. We don’t have to always like the darkness of berserk, but Miura was pretty spot on in most cases with appropriately mixing them into the story and using dark themes in his storytelling. And that’s pretty respectable.
Guts: Being Happy
Berserk's world: We don't do that here
The first word of the title is your answer.
Don’t forgot that the Berserker armor is also slowly degrading Guts body. He’s barely able to hold the Dragonslayer in one hand, he’s slowly losing his sight, he’s staring to lose his sense of taste (I think), he losing weight, gained so much scars, and he’s looks in his late thirties or in his fourties’ despite being in his early twenties
That’s not true, Guts is in his early 20s in the beginning of the series. As of right now he’s supposed to be in his late thirties or early 40s as well as Casca. When Guts left Griffith before the eclipse they were 24-27 year old and it’s been 15 years in the manga since the eclipse.
@@BBardotnah no way, guts is more young than that
@@BBardotbro no offense but like, are you dense? you know real life time doesn’t work as the same as in fictional works right? the world always stops moving but a book can discontinue production for years and leave the story on hold, literally just like berserk did
@@BBardot black swordsman was 2 years after the esclipse
guts has never had one good day in his life while griffith had one bad day
well technically he was tortured 💀
Griffith had a bad year, if I remember.
@@DragoonCentenim not very smart but i think that's close enough to a day
Guts's tenacity and stubbornness to push forward and survive, whether it's for revenge or love, is truly awe-inspiring. I mean, he watched fukkin' GOKU's head explode, and I don't know how you can come back from that.
oh yes Gaston.
Guts: *exists*
Causality: And I took that personally.
Everything bad that's happened to Guts: "His life."
*Video Ends*
I love how you basically just summarized the whole manga cuz the entire thing is just bad things happening to guts
Donovan as edp is nuts lmaoooo😭😭😭
Imagine anime group therapy where every MC shares their stories. Now imagine guts is the first to go, and he starts with "i was born under the lynched corpse of my mother after her body voided its contents and my first breath was me hitting the floor in her deceased fluids"
the entire room gonna stand up and walk away realizing they dont have it so bad
peppa pig:
I don't think first thing Guts need is therapy, dude can handle most of them if things go slightly better. He just needs a goddamn moment of peace :D
Still pretty funny comment
Ain't no way Guts actually became a Saint.
Whoever went through Allat has Every right to become a Supervillain.
The biggest tragedy to happen to Guts is that Miura was unable to write a happy ending for him
When Griffith finally gets dragged to Hell screaming in pain and dismay and disbelief and fear, when Guts finally beats his fucking head in and makes him eat his own teeth OH!!!
Bro l can't wait to see it
PLEASE MISTER MORY MAKE IT HAPPEN
Every time I hear gambino in the context of berserk all I can think of is childish gambino rapping in the situation the person is talking about.
Never reject pain, always embrace it, it's the greatest teacher you can ask for...
"You good?" "Yeah I'm fine bro"
Here's a real challenge for you Masked, make a video about all of the good things that have happened to Guts.
😬uh Casca and uh…
I just finished Conviction and Casca having someone to watch over her (Luca) while Guts traveled there was heartwarming.
I remember the first time I read this years ago, I've finished the first 100 chapters in a night, I remember the slap Rickret gave Griffith it gave me so much satisfaction I was smiling the whole day, after that when Casca regained her soul and saw Guts got a meltdown I cried for him.
Casca needs to give this man a hug for us dawg ;(
That might as well be a plot point in future chapter. Imagine this scene being the final panel of the entire Manga?
Hi masked great video as usual. If you want, I recommend you to make a video on revengful characters, that is one type of character that i find very interesting.
Keep on with your content bro🫂
I can relate with Guts, my life has been hell since I was a baby. I don't know why I even keep on living
Only thing I’m shocked by is how concise you were able to make this, could’ve sworn this type of video would’ve taken an hour at least
A lot of berserk haters swear that fans love to self insert with guts, well if you ask me, that’s basically like screaming “I haven’t read berserk” through a megaphone for the whole world to hear.
"Everything bad that happened to Guts"
Oh, lord. We're gonna be here for a while.
Modern Day SJW: How dare you show these images!
Guts: Stoic Perseverance
cring
Go back to 2016 lol
Man I don't some pretty spicy food today..I think that's the worst thing that's happened to my Guts , at-least today. Cant believe you went through all that masked.
Guts is struggler ever since he was born!
Better Title:''Every worst thing beyond humanity's thinking that happened to guts''
Please make you next video about all the good things that happened to Guts, I know it will be short, but I at least need to be reminded of all the good things that happened to my boy
I`ll make sure to watch this one day when I`m feeling a little too happy.
Now we need a video with the best or at least not so bad things that happen to Guts.... So a short video hahaha
Honestly I’m glad that the newer chapters were more light hearted tbh,like the last two arcs were wayyyyy less dark than like the first few arcs,sadly it seems like it’ll continue being dark again
Every Bad Thing That's Happened To Guts: *preceeds to narrate hes lifestory*
i think that's telling of something
guts : "exists"
chadtaro Miura : "im bout to end this man whole career"
R.I.P THE GOAT MIURA
This is more like a recap video than a highlight video.
Seeing the title next to the video length “impossible”
when ever someone complains about their life i tell them to read Berserk
Doesnt fix shit
Please, for the love of God; your voice is decent enough for voice overs but if you extend that last syllable like "maybe the minor onessssssss"
Perfect content. Appreciate you g
Guts: *is born*
Universe: "and l took that *personally* "
an hour of content? Let's gooo
Yea this video really made me realize the Miura was a really messed up dude
Damn right, man. You tell those Twitter snowflakes. If they can't handle it, they should look for a different manga instead of cursing a phenomenal artist who is sadly no longer with us. You have my respect and you've gained my sub.
