Memri TV type shit. “Inshallah, this kaffir, Griffith, demon, servant of Shaitan himself, may his name be forgotten until judgement day, when Allah rouses such cursed calligraphy from the grave to condemn him to his fate at the bottom of Jahannam for all eternity. He makes the wicked look virtuous, and the virtuous look Godlike.”
Someone like him? He might look like a teddy bear, but you don't live as long as him without going through some crazy stuff in life. Old people are far tougher than you would imagine. And for that matter, what demographic should Berserk be recommended for? Its not that simple to judge people just by looking at them, and you can't force someone to read something they don't want to.
Just to let you know if the theory of skull knight is true, he may not be as good as you think he is. He is a force of good overall as skull knight but everything kind of points to him being the mad emperor that was corrupted by the berserk armor and ended up creating the last god hands before Griffith. It's also suspected that Void is the priest that the mad emperor imprisoned and tortured similar to Griffith. That means that the skull knight potentially created void by accident. That would also explain why he is so trying so hard to redeem himself.
12:10 So what I love about the Eclipse is that it puts the reader almost directly into Guts’ mind. The reader is met with the same shock, horror, disgust, and anger that Guts feels with each page turn. Horrific, terrifying, and disgusting. But magically and beautifully written.
What I love the most about it is that Griffith doesn't utter a single sound after accepting the sacrifice. It makes this truly gritty and gives it a real feel like you described.
@@PuddingXXL Yeah it’s something about just seeing his expressions bring more horror to it. Similar to what they did with Hereditary. Berserk is psychological horror through manga
"I knew danger was approaching...but I had no idea." "May his name be forgotten forever." "The worst character, a demon from hell, that I have ever encountered in a book." "Evil. WIcked. Griffith." "Griffith." This is some raw anger right there, like the way he says Griffith is exactly how I'd imagine someone would say it after hearing about the Eclipse. I wish that his reaction was recorded cause I know it would've been crazy. Get this man on Jujutsu Kaisen as soon as possible!
There's beauty in Berserk's pain, so much struggle, so many good characters. The only pain that comes from reading Jujutsu is the manga itself. Don't do that to dad.

"Griffith… May his name be forgotten. Demon of Hell. Betraying his friends, devouring them in essence. Subjecting them to the pit of Hell. To think I said kindly words about him. I take every word back. You’re EVIL PERSONIFIED.”
Worst part about Griffith is that he really could not be wholey blamed due to the absolute abuse and mutilation he was exposed to... Yes he is a monster or rather became such the moment he chose 'himself over everyone else' in the most literal sense.

I never had a love of my life so I never felt that devastated to eclipse, the Griffith betrayal overshadowed casca case. But the lost children's arc was way too much for me. I always had a soft side for children and that arc was a hell of a read for me.
Venom: blind in one eye, has a prosthetic arm and gets betrayed by a friend(BB) Guts: blind in one eye, has a prosthetic arm and gets betrayed by a friend...
I had a friend (girl) who couldnt read past the eclipse, she never got caught up, she was visibly distrubed and tears came up to her everytime the eclipse was mentioned. I was shocked by the eclipse, but i never thought others would actually feel it so much as to have some sort of ptsd about it.
People react differently to different things. I didn't react much to the eclipse when i first read it but i became very mentally unstable when i read the arc after it. I've always questioned my faith in god because of all the horrible things that happen around the world but held on to it hoping that heaven and hell are real and there is true justice in this world, but reading that arc made me realize that berserk isn't a story about if god was evil, it's about if god was real and Abrahamic. An omnipotent being that works in mysterious ways, doesn't care about your suffering and will gladly torment you for eternity if you go against his vague, twisted will.

@@DoctorBones1 I would posit that Judeu didn't mention it because it would have left casca with a ton more baggage emotionally. Thinking deeper about it makes you truly respect him and how thoughtful he was about everything. He really did care about her.
My heart broke when you said Casca was his favorite character, I literally paused the video and sat still for a few seconds while thinking "poor fella is gonna get ptsd from the eclipse"
Do you, do you not know? The dude currently making the new chapters of Berserk, Kouji Mori, was Miuras best friend and confirmed confidant on Miuras story development for Berserk. He is likely, THE ONLY ONE who knows how Berserk was going to end, minus Miura himself. Out of all the possible people to pick Betserk up and give it an ending, he is the best possible person to do it.
I mean it's definitely affected Lufa. He's filmed himself stabbing people and hooking them in a dark woods. I think berserk has affected you a little bit.
@@ASmartNameForMe ngl, not even memein. This is true. The berserk slobbering, made me not care for the characters before even reading, so I felt nothing for what I knew were walking deadmen.
What makes the Eclipse horrifying, honestly, isn’t even graphic content of the eclipse, although it definitely play a part. There are other stories which show similar or worse graphic scenes but don’t reach the same amount of terror, anger, or despair that the eclipse does. The narrative takes it sweet time to make you care about and grow attached to these characters and their relationships, Griffith included. It pulls you into a false sense of security that things might actually turn out alright, that maybe things aren’t going to be so bad for them. Really, it puts you in the same position as Guts when you finally start feeling of this band as a family or friends and then immediately ripping that all away in just a few chapters. This feels horrific, not because what it depicts is necessarily scary but, because it feels so real. It might not actually be happening but you feel all the emotions that Guts feels and it feels real.
Yea I remember seeing the eclipse scene YEARS back without context and just thinking berserk was some edgy gore stuff I wouldn't be into. But when I started to read it and got to the eclipse part it was a completely different experience. All those people looked up to Griffith as a father figure, even more than that. Its the betrayal that hits the hardest, I can't imagine any higher magnitude of betrayal than what happened in that scene.
Yeah, watch a one of the Terriffier movies and it will be graphic and disgusting but it would be so much worse if the characters were developed and interesting. Like image getting a whole season of a show then suddenly a ton of characters are killed in similarly brutal methods as in the Terrifier 2. Would be devastating
@@env0xworse. They truly viewed him as their King. The man they were willing to fight and die for to help him achieve his dream because they believed he would help them achieve theirs. Griffith however didn't relate to their simple dreams and viewed them as lesser, which only proved his mentality was bad fit for king. Ignoring any logistical value of their dreams in his kingdom and failing to see how their dreams would be cogs and gears to making his kingdom sustainable.
I know it's off-topic, but what a man. Spending time with his daughter, getting to know her hobbies, her passions and being an active part in it... I think she is blessed. And now back to the topic💪
He reminds me of the archetype of the kindly older guy who is also a fearless protector. Would love to have a few pints with him but wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of him kinda guy, that's the feeling I get anyway.
I wouldn't equate Griffith to a man child. He's more so someone that from a very early age was taught to despise humanity and found them extremely hard to relate to. That's why Guts leaving broke him, he lost the one person he could view as friend, even though he the whole reason guts left is because he heard Griffiths conversation to the princess and taking it to heart. Guts left to find an ambition worthy of Griffiths praise, while Griffith was upset because he thought Guts was straight up abandoning him not understanding why. Guts was already Griffiths equal in his heart, but due to striving to be king he poorly worded to the princess why he felt so detached. Along with his failure to see how the bands dreams could be the cogs and gears to secure his rule. Griffith is text book dissociated personality. Easy to see when as child he was the object of humanities lust, given a prophecy of being king by a witch, and was worshipped as deity by the civilians and those that fought with him. His whole life was essentially sapping his humanity and connection to it day by day. And then his mutilation occurs and he's horrified to not only be defaced/castrated/crippled but realizes he was human all along, and without his body, the pursuit of his dream, the entire fabric of his existence was over. Which in turn caused the behelit to activate. His ego was the only thing driving him which makes sense, all his suffering and pain was able to be taken in stride because he believed that it would lead him to the throne and when it didn't he snapped. Doesn't excuse him for the eclipse. He went full revenge mode because he blamed Guts for his down fall. Hell BotH even knew where Griffith was but didn't make any moves because without Guts they didnt stand a chance. Even Cascas pissed when he shows back up and they were right. Because as soon as Guts is back they are able to easily crush through the towers defenses. Demonstrating that if Guts had stayed they could have saved Griffith before it was too late. But I do agree that Griffith was acting emotionally which is what led to his downfall due to his own lack of experience since he dissociated so much from it. Dude seems legit shocked that he can even feel and was desperate for any form of comfort or distraction from the pain.
Not a manchild, but psychopathic. No actual feelings for his fellow humans with his sights on one goal only, disregarding literally anyone who he needs to get rid of, as long as he gets what he wants. Manipulative. Despicable. Disgusting.
@@Kspice9000 honestly? from the very beginning, i think the eclipse, or something like it, was in griffith's future. even if he got to the throne through legitimate means, I don't think he would allow a group as powerful as the hawk to exist. the only part of the eclipse specifically inspired but guts' leaving was the part with casca. everything else was exactly what he said he would do at the beginning. the band of the hawk dying for his dream.
Lost children is pretty rough, as is conviction but the guy got through the eclipse and deserves to see the parts of the series that are so inspiring and see Guts develop from an angry hate filled man to someone who inspires hope in others.
@@michaelrosen4131 jesus yes I have but what keeps me goin is knowing this is end game and it's always darkest before the end. If Guts and Casca can just share one more smile, that's all I'll ever ask for.
You should have expected it - he’s a man who has remained kind and gentle. That means he has a kind of quiet strength in him, he has lived long enough to see the cruelty of the world and he has the strength to continue to be good. People often mistake kindness for naïveté but it’s clear to me he is the type of person who has *chosen* to be kind and good and empathetic. I’m not surprised he reacted how he did.
Dude is genuinely so passionate and I wish I could care about anything in life as much as that, the pure vitriol present in every mention of his name, wow, your dad is a really special person

I haven't cried about this chapter in years but this dude talking about his experience makes me come close to crying about this chapter all over again.
16:20 The worst part is that he did care, they were all the best thing he got the things he treasured most, that's why they had value as sacrifices, but his longing for his dream, his avarice was bigger that the love he had and got for all of them.
Imo I don't think Griffith had real enough love for them except for their use as pawns. He might have saw Casca and Guts as his two top best pieces on chess. Even after the eclipse when he talked to guts again when he came back he said he didn't feel any regret or bad feeling for the ones that he sacrificed
@@wolfman100hitsyou can't sacrifice thing you don't care about. Griffith cared, he loved his Hawks, thats the thimg about sacrificing your friends and humanity for power. The whole thing about the Godhand and apostles is that they sold their humanity for power, turning them ugly in and out. It's something we see everyday, so many people kill their humanity for power, be it in the form of strength, money or influence.
@@Wozat-is8it actually you can sacrifice things you hate with a passion as long as it means something to you. That's how that apostle that fused with guts and casca's baby was able to cause an eclipse and bring back Griffith
@@wolfman100hits No you can't. Sacrificing something you hate with a passion wouldn't be a sacrifice. The god hand explicitly explain that the sacrifice has to be something which you truly and dearly love. Like the child of a parent.
@tyrayentali7041 the one that helped Griffith be brought back into the physical world hated his world and and everyone around for treating him like shit so he chose to sacrifice them in order to get his apostle form and it worked for him and stated it as long as whatever one chooses to sacrifice has deep meaning regardless if they love it or hate it it will trigger a sacrifice
So it was a while ago, but my now husband then boyfriend read Berserk because I kept insisting he do so (to understand his love for Dark Souls even more). I remember texting him around the time the necklace cried and he said things didn’t look good. Not a day later, I was doing God knows what and I get a text from him that read “I have one question to ask you…what the fuck?” He recapped the entire scene in great “are you kidding me” energy and I told him that I didn’t have to hold back why the story was so notoriously known. My husband now regards Berserk as one of the best manga I have given him to this day and will become a great scholar if it is ever brought into conversation. The end of that arc is truly a great work of fictional heartbreak.
I remember when I first read the Eclipse, I finished the book, set it down, and said out loud to myself "it would have almost been more forgivable if he had sold them out in battle"
Arguably the best part about stories are the villains. Without villains we couldn't have heroes. That's what makes Griffith such an astoundingly hated character. He's so selfish and betrayed everyone who cared about him. Not just for survival but for the promise of his own personal goals and desires. That overshadows every other trait we might like about him. He isn't a good guy. But he is a damn good villain. I like how the dad kept saying "Because of Griffith..." I feel like he kept doing that to display how he and ultimately how Guts remembers the Eclipse. He remembers all of the victims and the people who suffered... But his mind always wanders back to Griffith being the one who caused it all.
What I never liked about Griffith is how flat he is. The evil in him is too pure and crystaline, too perfect. He stops being human and that makes him too distant, too abstract. More like an alien than a real human monster. Bondrewd, on the other hand... you can even identify with him, and feel the evil reaching towards you. Fully human and fully monster at the same time.
@@ardidsonriente2223 I'm not familiar with Bondrewd. I assume that's from another manga/anime. BUT I really like that description of Griffith and his type of evil. It's pure and crystalline. It's everything you expect from evil. So of course you hate it/him. The other character Bondrewd sounds like a more realistic form of evil. Like a serial killer, there are aspects of them that are very human but another side which is completely monstrous and devoid of humanity. What is Bondrewd from, friend?
@@ardidsonriente2223I think you give Bondrewd the credit Griffith has and only admonish him for his capability, despite Bondrewd matching his character motivation and flaws point for point. The both suffer from their desicions in direct relation to their goals, the only reason I think you might dislike him is because you see plot moving like a play as too perfect for his character progression despite it working as a form of shakesperean tragedy.
The contempt when he calls Griffith a rat! You can hear him discover a new purpose for reading Berserk right there! Oh what I'd give to read Berserk for the first time again! To have that first-time innocence lost in the Eclipse again! Rest in Peace Kentaro! Absolute genius. 😭
WH40K horror is absolutely over-the-top but it is easy to handle since the victims are anonymous canon fodder. The same cant be said about the band of the Hawk...
There's several unamed deaths that live rent free in my head. They have this one scene from a guard captains perspective as a laser tank bisects his entire battalion/the city block he was on, the writers really did the horror of the scene justice. Another one where a dude gets exposed to the raw warp and you can see his soul's fleeting horror as he sees his own body before him, only to get unmade by countless demons seconds later.
In Gaunt's Ghosts, a lot of victims are certainly not anonymous cannon fodder. You really end up liking a lot of the characters before they're taken away.

@@varnull6120 I can't give you a complete answer since I haven't continued Punpun yet (years ago Punpun isn't finished yet), but Berserk -- while indeed very dark and depressing, is also very beautiful and moving at times.

So you've never actually delved into the depths of berserk huh? Miura was open about the fact that fate can only bring you to a cross roads it cant make you choose the direction you go. Fate brought the belit into grifiths hands on the night of the evlipse... girfith chose to begin the eclipse. Griffith absolutely could have chosen not to. Miura's own sentiment on the story. It is a story about giving into temptation and fighting against fate if anything.

Oooof yeah Devilman Crybaby was quite a journey to say the least. The original Devilman manga was a heavy influencer of Berserk actually as Miura was a fan of it. The dynamic between Guts and Griffith is actually pretty similar to the dynamic between the two main characters of Devilman

I had a friend (girl) who couldnt read past the eclipse, she never got caught up, she was visibly distrubed and tears came up to her everytime the eclipse was mentioned. I was shocked by the eclipse, but i never thought others would actually feel it so much as to have some sort of ptsd about it.
I mean if your friend was deeply immersed in a story, that can happen more often than you think.
Many people have sexual assault as their trigger warning
People react differently to different things. I didn't react much to the eclipse when i first read it but i became very mentally unstable when i read the arc after it. I've always questioned my faith in god because of all the horrible things that happen around the world but held on to it hoping that heaven and hell are real and there is true justice in this world, but reading that arc made me realize that berserk isn't a story about if god was evil, it's about if god was real and Abrahamic. An omnipotent being that works in mysterious ways, doesn't care about your suffering and will gladly torment you for eternity if you go against his vague, twisted will.

The most painful part of berserk is we will probably never know the real ending...
Do you, do you not know? The dude currently making the new chapters of Berserk, Kouji Mori, was Miuras best friend and confirmed confidant on Miuras story development for Berserk. He is likely, THE ONLY ONE who knows how Berserk was going to end, minus Miura himself. Out of all the possible people to pick Betserk up and give it an ending, he is the best possible person to do it.
I believe Miura said he intended to give Guts a good/happy ending and that's enough for me.

@@ASmartNameForMe nah that a game like how do you feel traumatised by a literal multiplayer online game
What makes the Eclipse horrifying, honestly, isn’t even graphic content of the eclipse, although it definitely play a part. There are other stories which show similar or worse graphic scenes but don’t reach the same amount of terror, anger, or despair that the eclipse does. The narrative takes it sweet time to make you care about and grow attached to these characters and their relationships, Griffith included. It pulls you into a false sense of security that things might actually turn out alright, that maybe things aren’t going to be so bad for them. Really, it puts you in the same position as Guts when you finally start feeling of this band as a family or friends and then immediately ripping that all away in just a few chapters. This feels horrific, not because what it depicts is necessarily scary but, because it feels so real. It might not actually be happening but you feel all the emotions that Guts feels and it feels real.
Yeah it’s basically traumatizing the reader along guts
Yea I remember seeing the eclipse scene YEARS back without context and just thinking berserk was some edgy gore stuff I wouldn't be into. But when I started to read it and got to the eclipse part it was a completely different experience. All those people looked up to Griffith as a father figure, even more than that. Its the betrayal that hits the hardest, I can't imagine any higher magnitude of betrayal than what happened in that scene.
i think in monster when johan makes a kid kill himself with extra steps its darker and worse. or oyasimi punpkn
Yeah, watch a one of the Terriffier movies and it will be graphic and disgusting but it would be so much worse if the characters were developed and interesting. Like image getting a whole season of a show then suddenly a ton of characters are killed in similarly brutal methods as in the Terrifier 2. Would be devastating
@@env0xworse. They truly viewed him as their King. The man they were willing to fight and die for to help him achieve his dream because they believed he would help them achieve theirs.
Griffith however didn't relate to their simple dreams and viewed them as lesser, which only proved his mentality was bad fit for king. Ignoring any logistical value of their dreams in his kingdom and failing to see how their dreams would be cogs and gears to making his kingdom sustainable.

speaking from personal experience
Man should be a voice actor. They way he says Griffith with such disdain and betrayal, it hurts me hearing it
Among many other weighty topics, Berserk is a good manual on "How to spot a power hungry manchild before he takes over everything."
I wouldn't equate Griffith to a man child. He's more so someone that from a very early age was taught to despise humanity and found them extremely hard to relate to. That's why Guts leaving broke him, he lost the one person he could view as friend, even though he the whole reason guts left is because he heard Griffiths conversation to the princess and taking it to heart.
Guts left to find an ambition worthy of Griffiths praise, while Griffith was upset because he thought Guts was straight up abandoning him not understanding why. Guts was already Griffiths equal in his heart, but due to striving to be king he poorly worded to the princess why he felt so detached. Along with his failure to see how the bands dreams could be the cogs and gears to secure his rule.
Griffith is text book dissociated personality. Easy to see when as child he was the object of humanities lust, given a prophecy of being king by a witch, and was worshipped as deity by the civilians and those that fought with him. His whole life was essentially sapping his humanity and connection to it day by day. And then his mutilation occurs and he's horrified to not only be defaced/castrated/crippled but realizes he was human all along, and without his body, the pursuit of his dream, the entire fabric of his existence was over. Which in turn caused the behelit to activate.
His ego was the only thing driving him which makes sense, all his suffering and pain was able to be taken in stride because he believed that it would lead him to the throne and when it didn't he snapped.
Doesn't excuse him for the eclipse. He went full revenge mode because he blamed Guts for his down fall. Hell BotH even knew where Griffith was but didn't make any moves because without Guts they didnt stand a chance. Even Cascas pissed when he shows back up and they were right. Because as soon as Guts is back they are able to easily crush through the towers defenses.
Demonstrating that if Guts had stayed they could have saved Griffith before it was too late.
But I do agree that Griffith was acting emotionally which is what led to his downfall due to his own lack of experience since he dissociated so much from it. Dude seems legit shocked that he can even feel and was desperate for any form of comfort or distraction from the pain.

So it was a while ago, but my now husband then boyfriend read Berserk because I kept insisting he do so (to understand his love for Dark Souls even more). I remember texting him around the time the necklace cried and he said things didn’t look good. Not a day later, I was doing God knows what and I get a text from him that read “I have one question to ask you…what the fuck?” He recapped the entire scene in great “are you kidding me” energy and I told him that I didn’t have to hold back why the story was so notoriously known. My husband now regards Berserk as one of the best manga I have given him to this day and will become a great scholar if it is ever brought into conversation. The end of that arc is truly a great work of fictional heartbreak.

@codforever-kb7tv the manga version is MUCH more disturbing as well
I went in knowing Griffith would betray Guts and I gotta say the foreshadowing is very good.
I remember when I first read the Eclipse, I finished the book, set it down, and said out loud to myself "it would have almost been more forgivable if he had sold them out in battle"
It takes a talent to traumatized a wholesome Dad like him 😭😭
You can actually listen to this as an old dad RP'ing a band of the hawk survivor who silently follows Guts around, that's how immersed he his.
Arguably the best part about stories are the villains. Without villains we couldn't have heroes. That's what makes Griffith such an astoundingly hated character. He's so selfish and betrayed everyone who cared about him. Not just for survival but for the promise of his own personal goals and desires. That overshadows every other trait we might like about him. He isn't a good guy. But he is a damn good villain.
I like how the dad kept saying "Because of Griffith..." I feel like he kept doing that to display how he and ultimately how Guts remembers the Eclipse. He remembers all of the victims and the people who suffered... But his mind always wanders back to Griffith being the one who caused it all.
What I never liked about Griffith is how flat he is. The evil in him is too pure and crystaline, too perfect. He stops being human and that makes him too distant, too abstract. More like an alien than a real human monster.
Bondrewd, on the other hand... you can even identify with him, and feel the evil reaching towards you. Fully human and fully monster at the same time.
@@ardidsonriente2223 I'm not familiar with Bondrewd. I assume that's from another manga/anime. BUT I really like that description of Griffith and his type of evil. It's pure and crystalline. It's everything you expect from evil. So of course you hate it/him. The other character Bondrewd sounds like a more realistic form of evil. Like a serial killer, there are aspects of them that are very human but another side which is completely monstrous and devoid of humanity.
What is Bondrewd from, friend?
@@DudeNamedDude1776i heard his name before, i think it was made in abyss
@@ardidsonriente2223I think you give Bondrewd the credit Griffith has and only admonish him for his capability, despite Bondrewd matching his character motivation and flaws point for point.
The both suffer from their desicions in direct relation to their goals, the only reason I think you might dislike him is because you see plot moving like a play as too perfect for his character progression despite it working as a form of shakesperean tragedy.
The contempt when he calls Griffith a rat! You can hear him discover a new purpose for reading Berserk right there!
Oh what I'd give to read Berserk for the first time again! To have that first-time innocence lost in the Eclipse again!
Rest in Peace Kentaro! Absolute genius. 😭
WH40K horror is absolutely over-the-top but it is easy to handle since the victims are anonymous canon fodder. The same cant be said about the band of the Hawk...
Also Berserk isn't pure unadulterated supercondensed cringe, whereas the other is
There's several unamed deaths that live rent free in my head. They have this one scene from a guard captains perspective as a laser tank bisects his entire battalion/the city block he was on, the writers really did the horror of the scene justice. Another one where a dude gets exposed to the raw warp and you can see his soul's fleeting horror as he sees his own body before him, only to get unmade by countless demons seconds later.
In Gaunt's Ghosts, a lot of victims are certainly not anonymous cannon fodder.
You really end up liking a lot of the characters before they're taken away.
Every dad's dream: To enjoy Manga/Anime with your daughter.
Its even more harrowing that the Death of Casca is his fear when in truth her death would've been a mercy.

Fate brought the belit into grifiths hands on the night of the evlipse... girfith chose to begin the eclipse. Griffith absolutely could have chosen not to. Miura's own sentiment on the story. It is a story about giving into temptation and fighting against fate if anything.

Nah old man handled it better than we did.
Thats void, that emptiness i felt when i saw devilman crybaby, no spoiler 2 sits to complete, later that day i need some sugar or something sweet. 10/10
Oooof yeah Devilman Crybaby was quite a journey to say the least. The original Devilman manga was a heavy influencer of Berserk actually as Miura was a fan of it. The dynamic between Guts and Griffith is actually pretty similar to the dynamic between the two main characters of Devilman
I went in blind to the eclipse 30 min before work. I couldn't tell my coworkers why I was out of it
