- Berserk is a dark fantasy / horror manga but it is also a romance. Here I want to look at Guts and Griffith and the way their dynamic is portrayed in the Golden Age Arc.

Hello
@@zziminar tempted to rename the video now
@@TheMaskedMan GO FOR IT
Tbf the amount of suffering Guts had to go through while dragging Casca alongside him when she was in her regressed state as Elaine is true love and compassion
Hey, you're that guy without a mustache!
I dont think the video was about casca but okay 🤷♂️
Started the manga a few days ago...man I wish I'd had started earlier ..already the best story ever written
Minor spelling mistake
Since when is that guy without a mustache verified? Congrats tho
Really sucks that Guts had to leave Griffith on his knees, shame all over his face, and sword limp in his hand. If Griffith could just be honest and tell Guts what he wanted, maybe Guts wouldn't have been so rough with him.

AYOOOO
Boy ain't no way boy 🤣😂

Mah man is spitting facts like a dragon spits fire.
I came after it was edited, but im pretty sure I can still piece it together😅
Guts and Casca: Good Romance
Guts and Griffith: Bad Romance,

Hahahhahahahhahaicant💀💀😭💀
HAHAHAHAHAHA YOU GOT ME
Want your bad romance
Griffith never grew up. He never really matured from his childlike dream, and Judau was right on the money. Ironically, pursuing this very human dream pushed Griffith to suppress and eventually lose (supposedly) his humanity.
This condition has a name: Narcissism.
He is not in reality he is in a dream world and he is the super star of this world.
Griffith Yeager
@@voidwalker7774 💯Dark triad personality types make up a notable portion of highly successful individuals irl as well. The description of the world as a fantasy and the individual being the super star destined for greatness makes a LOT of sense. Easy to win when you truly believe you are meant to rise to the top; one could be a lot more daring and adventuresome.
@@deadsoonthat's so true Eren is like Griffith
The best romance is the story of intimacy between The Masked man and Berserk
Considering how much this series kicks us in the metaphorical/emotional dick, he might be in an abusive relationship...
in Shakespearean Theatre, the difference between a Comedy and a Tragedy is ,(more often then not,) how well the characters communicate with each other
That's really fascinating. Can you expand more upon that?
@@nomoreraydzee5480 How much of Romeo and Juliet's elopement could have been simplified if they passed letters through Father Esteban to stay up to date with the situation?
@@spadeofpain24 Fair enough. I don’t really know the context behind it, but I got the general idea.
In comedies, the characters communicate well with one another, and that’s what makes a comedy what it is. On the other hand, characters within a tragedy communicate with one another poorly, making a tragedy, a tragedy.
Is that correct?
“Guts comes out on top, and Griffith is on his knees” 😏
That got me lmfao 😂😂😂
💀
That is Griffith's real dream, just Guts getting him on his knees
I died with all the little side references and realization 😂
To be fair, Berserk is technically a love triangle. Guts loves Casca, Griffith loves Guts, Casca loves both. Griffith behaves like a jealous high school girl that throws a tantrum seeing their crush choose another girl over them.
Bizarre Love Triangle
I know where you getting at, but is not that simple anymore, Casca loves moonboy, but i doubt she still loves Griffith after you know
Tbh, Berserk feels kinda like a shoujo.
I mean, Miura did state that he was into yuri manga.
@@notationmusical He also quoted Rose of Versailles as being a huge inspiration which is a very girly shojo lol. Nothing wrong with that I just thinks it’s interesting.
cask love both ? I dont think she loves Griffith as romantic partner now....
People hate Griffith so much that they forget they loved him so much in the first.
Yeah I though he was shady as hell but really really cool. I think I can speak for most fans when I say the eclipse was a big betrayal not only for guts but for fans as well.
I never liked him from the first glimpse of him. Hated his design with a passion.
Look at him nigga he beautiful
Dude was too effeminate to be trusted
@@malekat8539 comments like this somewhat annoy me. And this may not be you specifically, but I feel there is a large quantity of people out there so concerned with being right. Or maybe like their wall is up. I guess I worry that if your wall is so far up you are sheltering yourself from experiencing the story, and the story becomes distant from you. I'm not really good at vocalizing this thought. And as I said, this may not apply to you, but I do feel that many of the people who write comments like this feel that way. And I very well could be wrong.
11:38 love how you point out that Griffith asks guts if he's cruel as an indicator of Griffiths internal doubts and guilt. Almost everyone brings up him scratching himself but a lot of people forget about this bit of dialogue, very revealing little tidbit
It really important because Guts response to that question is exactly what the God Hand show Griffith while swaying him to sacrifice the band of the hawk
So basically Griffith wants to chill with the homies but homie was like I'm out cuz I'm not a good enough homie then was like man I miss my homie then got big baby face mad because he actually had feelings for him.
I don't think feelings is the right word. More like, he realised he wanted to own his homie but his homie was like nah so he was mad when his homie didnt act like a homie then he sacrificed all his homies for new homies
“Yes, the eclipse happens essentially because Guts wants to be Griffith’s friend, and Griffith was being a little tsundere twink who wouldn’t admit that he saw Guts as a friend all along.”
Peak analysis right here 👌
Usually, when a huge part of the drama in the story could be avoided or resolved by one conversation between main characters that they do not have, is considered bad writing. But in Berserk characters are written in such a way that even if we know that one honest conversation between Guts and Griffith could prevent all bad stuff from happening, we understand why this conversation could not happen.
A wonderful essay. I want to add something. Griffith, assexually-platonically, loved Guts more than his dream. And he was ready to give it up even after all the tortures, in favor of Guts.
Note that in the Eclipse (before the cherished word) Miura (in false charge) paints Griffith as a child. And this child dies at the end inside Griffith.
But Miura tries to return it to him through the image of the Moon Child.
Why label Griffiths sexualtiy at all tho? It takes away the depth of his character who is not meant to be defined in such a small and feeble way
@@tnl-warrior3218 small and feeble way? It's about context because many people misconception Griffiths purpose and reasoning
@@tnl-warrior3218 damn homophobia is so rampant in this god forsaken mandom, Griffith being gay doesnt make him less, it makes him whole
@@GuyunZhongli-ow4ti fr 😭😭 griffith being queer doesn’t take any depth of his character. I’ve seen the weirdest mental gymnastics from fans trying to prove that he’s the straightest of straight man…
Imagine Mirua telling Kojimori he used him as inspiration for Griffith, then Miura writes the Eclipse.
Mori remembering Miura comparing him to Griffith after reading the Eclipse's script back in the 90s:"No amount of therapy will ever make that moment feel okay!"
Imagine working out listening to Berserk OST and u get a notification of this vid saying Berserk Is a Romance. 🗿
I'm not saying what he said is wrong tho I'm just saying it was way misleading ☠️☠️
I just finished squatting to Blood and Guts...
@@PiracyandDumbbells dam
The song way too dark tbh
Griffith's tragedy of being a martyr to his dream is compounded by the fact that I believe that he saw the potential to live a normal life when he looked at guts. In a way, maybe he imagined that guts could be the only one to save him from martyring himself to his dream. His dream was full of him constantly sacrificing himself and his friends and hurting himself and numbing himself. I think deep in his heart he realized maybe guts, the only person not to treat him as his persona, but to treat him as a regular person, could convince him to live a happy normal life pursuing the desires he suppressed for his dream. At the same time he was most terrified of guts as for that same reason, someone who can distract him from his dream. Not to mention he was probably struggling with the fear of rejection and disappointing everyone that looked up to him and letting down everyone who sacrificed themselves for him if he revealed his true self and let down his persona. The mask Griffith wears is completely synonymous to his dream, femto is the perfect embodiment of the worst traits of Griffith because he had to abandon all his human feelings and essentially sacrifice himself and whole essence to achieve his dream, and that's exactly what he did in the most literal of ways.
A MARTYR TO HIS EGO......HE IS THE GREATEST FOOL....THE REAL DREAM WAS THE BAND NOT THE CASTLE.....BUT HE CANT SEE THAT CUZ EGO DESIRES POWER
You got it
Perfectly described!
Tears in my eyes reading this 🥲
put into words very well
Honestly seeing Griffith and guts Break up is so heartbreaking.😿
Casca is one of the prettiest anime women.
Based
While Griffith is THE prettiest anime woman
Chillest guy I know. Love it when you talk about berserk. Your videos helped me make it through my shifts back when I worked at firehouse a couple years back. Can't wait to listen to this one while I'm working, gonna be nostalgic.
Ah yes, a perfect romance story about Guts and Dragonslayer.
Truly
my brother, dragon slayer: AYO, ti's ain't no ghaad dang alabama up in dis bish
“What good is it to climb the highest mountain and remain there alone?”

Mark 8:36…. But Dracula also said this in a video game 😂
Two powerful sayings, with the same conclusion?
Berserk has my most favorite Animanga couple of all time GutsxCasca☺☺
Ntr couple 😄
Berserk is a Shoujo
- Kentaro Miura (paraphrased)
I think it has to do with the fact that Griffith in the golden arc, finds someone to trust and through that bond he develops a loyalty to the point of self sacrifice, so he realizes when Guts is not more with him a sense of lose is transform into a clear need of care, in other words, love.
Obsession not love. Like a kid losing his toy somewhere
This is the best analysis of Griffith’s character I’ve seen. So many people overlook the nuance of his character and miss the subtext behind his most important lines, but you really hit the nail right on the head. Well done
Guts: I’m sorry Griffith, but your bussy… just isn’t tight
Griffith: :O
💀
I mean, it goes to both of them
beserk would be the worlds happiest story if there was one time where griffith and guts talked to eachother about their feelings
This has to be honestly your best video yet, it's so well written and it's really special.
No matter if his dreams come true or if he surpasses "God" and his "angels".
The truth is that he threw away something irreplaceable in order to escape the pain that comes with being human.
bro is spitting straight faxx and only faxx
So much easier to think of it as a romance between three people and their ideals
Why do I have a feeling that Casca or Well Guts himself will be killed?
Lmao there really is like no denying griffith loves guts in that way. He literally said “you belong to me”
This could be your most well-written video, enjoyed it greatly as well as the editing
I knew what's gonna happen in eclipse before I read the manga. But I was surprised to see myself having a love hate thing for Griffith. I can't fully hate him. So I'm curious how would Casca deal with it.
As for his feelings for Guts. It's not confirmed and is left ambiguous. But I gotta say tho that most of his interactions with Guts is drawn romantic AF. And his monologues is worded romantic AF. Its like I'm reading a romance tragedy manga with a twist of dark and fantasy elements. His feelings for Guts whether romantic or platonic, along with his guilt he has been carrying for a long time, cemented his decision to sacrifice. I mean if you think about his feelings for Guts, it's unhealthy and possessive but maybe becoz it's his first time to feel that way. Even Casca knew it. It's like I hate that I love you so I will instead sacrifice you so I wouldn't feel the pain anymore. Haha
The rape thingy tho just made it worst :(
Glad you’re feeling better Mask and great video as always
Your video editing and overall quality has really improved,great work man.
Nice video with quality humor
I wouldn't say the fact that Guts leaves everything for his dream is a good thing though, especially by the way its done. He basically says the same thing that Griffith tells to himself "it's ok it's like a rock on the road, just go through it and forget it" he basically minimize his own feelings and try to pretend it's no big deal if it's for the sake of reaching something greater. It's exactly like Griffith who sacrifices his emotions for the sake of his dream. In their confrontation, it's really interesting to see how for the first time Guts fight for his own dream, putting it above of those he cares about, while Griffith on the other hand irrationally fight for someone he cares about instead of putting his dream above everything else.
It's really smart how Miura portrays Griffith as a child bc it defines him so well. Griffith refuses to grow, he tries to cover up his sins by something greater that can outshine his darkness, his dream. He never reflect on himself and refuses to acknowledge his feelings, he runs away from his pain (showed by how he tries to make himself suffer physically to overcome his emotional pain). In his eyes, as long as his dream is completed, it justifies everything he's done that's why he can't stop. He can't change, he can't grow, he has to be an inhuman icon who only live for his dream.
Symbolically speaking he's still a child. Guts on the other hand is a man who acknowledges his weaknesses and open up to them (with Casca when they reunite after so long ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)). He doesn't try to run away from pain but confront it to become stronger than it. Sure Griffith is flashier and he seems perfect but that's just because he hides his true emotions and flaws. Guts cries, suffers, doubts but that's what makes him human. He'll make mistakes because he has room for improvement, he's not mentally restrained to be the same person for ever and to deny any feeling that would occur changes just because he wants to remain perfect.
Their dynamic remains so well written after the Golden age arc. Guts, confronted by his own darkness faces the risk to become one with it. While Griffith became some sort of God, a perfect icon that can't express emotions and that only exist to achieve what he thinks is his purpose, Guts symbolically and literally fight his inner monsters, facing the risk of merging with them and becoming a purposeless demon always devoured by it's emotions. They're always opposed while being fundamentally somewhat very similar
It really is one of the best dynamic ever made
Congo for 300k subs bro 🥳
I really really love your berserk videos ❤️
Even friendships have a sort of romance to them. Romance doesn't just have to be to people kissing on the lips and having sex; all relationships are more complex than that
Romance can also be described as excitement, which has surely been felt before. Remember when you were a kid during summers and you heard that Joel/Jane was allowed to come over to your house, so you get all pumped up because you couldn't wait for the fun you two were going to have? Yeah; that's romance right there. Or "bromance", if you prefer
That's what Guts and Griffith had before Guts left. No homo
isn't that diluting the meaning of romance here, we already have different words which describe these events more accurately. I think it is ok to use more words but stretching the word is not a productive thing to do, if u want to express feelings more accurately .It might feel more intellectual to do this , but in the end its nothing more than fixing non existent problems while creating more.
+@@doom_o_o2099 I guess it does make the meaning weaker. Going by my logic, "romantic" can now be used in just about any situation, which can lessen its impact in other places
Going down a rollercoaster and having sex with your spouse are now both romantic because they're both exciting
What have I done? The Masked Man Loved my commet and everything. My dopamine was for nothing!
@@DrDolan2000 its not that deep, love u man
it is all just affection
That’s some copium though. I think it’s pretty clear that Griffith loved Guts
I'm so torn because like I can't believe that Miura had the moonlight child in his mind all the way back in golden age and Griffith acting like a child. But holy shit the parallels are so strong
Guts struggling of being a NBA player is so fantastic
Berserk is a kind of slice of life too
A Melancholic brutal Slice of Life
@@MementoDespair its also a sports manga. Guts sits in the corner while life beats the shit out of him
Well a lot of life is sliced
@@Ash_Wen-li LOL
A melancholic slice of life. Due to the gritty nature of berserk and many characters coming in, they just feel like a new face, however that ties in with the dark world of berserk and makes the characters more compelling and you accept them more. I have similar feelings to Griffith, he was never going to beat Guts, maybe for a short time with his brain however to me he feels like another NPC. It will be sooner or later than guts finally beats Griffith due to the nature of what he is - a temporary power up won’t save him forever.
Shiiiit I've never thought the god hand could have been the reason for Griffiths ambition
dude, your content has made me understand berserk so much better that i did, i discovered you a little while ago, but i’ve lowk been binging ur berserk vids, so thanks for the amazing vids
ur videos are just so well writtened, amazing work
When I heard "Dark Fantasy" leave his mouth, I expected to hear 'CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER?'
I want Guts to find peace man. So much struggle
lol, I don't hate Griffith! Just like I don't hate Blackbeard! They're incredibly great villains and I love them for that
It’s Berserkin Time
I think the most underrated panel in the manga is griffith struggling to sacrifice the band of the hawk because of guts. He literally called guts his equal and a friend saying he's his only equal, the whole reason he screwed up his ascension to be king is when guts beat him in the duel. I think in an error Griffith tried to rush things after guts left when he slept with Charlotte, but I fully believe if Griffith told guts sooner he saw guts as his equal and not heard his speech to Charlotte in front of the fountain that guts wouldn't have left the way he did. He still would of left but not till griffith had the crown on his head, Griffith should of just told guts how he felt about him as an equal instead of in the duel saying that he's his property which if I was guts would of left too.

I must say this video was fantastic and everyone who has read berserk should watch i. thanks man good work.
22:30 but in the end Griffith is on his knees had me dead 🤣🤣🤣
Berserk is a josei

Yes, Its the best romance ever because of all the hardships and terror guts and casca go through. Its portraying the purest form of love... not hornyness/our animalism
Did u even watch the video my guy
I like to think in maybe hundreds of years or so. When we are all gone and new lineages begin, berserk will receive the same respect as other classic literature, such as homers odyssey or Beowulf.
We probably won’t see it. But we are around to appreciate it, such as the Roman’s who listened to or read Dante’s inferno.
and who knows. Maybe the internet will still be around in hundreds of years, and videos like these could end up being the archaic philosophy of the literature.

Ngl dawg this might be your best video yet. Keep it up!
300k congrats man❤️
Shakespeare would definitely approve of it'd romance status.
True
No joke, Berserk has been the best source for dating tips for me. I even managed to get a gf by using quotes from it lol.
Explain
makes sense for it to be a romance since miura has publicaly admitted to be into SHOJO manga
I think that’s what makes it unique to other mangas, it has the drama of a shojo manga combined with action and fighting and some extremely mature themes you’d never find in a shojo manga. It’s a unique story.
I agree with you in most of the topic . But i don't think Griffith had a normal childhood. I mean he was living on street. And seeing his ambition i think there must be something bad happen with him as well and also he was literally a child leader so there is also hardship with that
I have also thought a lot of times that Berserk is a romance but regarding Guts and Casca.
This was awesome and well put together! You really came out on top with this one!
........No homo 😂
Masterpiece after masterpiece! Can't stop getting Berserk content... Thank you
This is a beautiful thumbnail
A whole Lotta "Pause" moments in this video
People might find my opinion wrong, but I don't hate Griffith. I find it hard to. When he made the deal to become Femto, I sort of understood. He was doing all he could to finally have his own kingdom, and then he let himself go into despair that left him broken, even voiceless. If he hadn't done what he did, he would of become a cripple that people either ignored or babied, something he didn't dream of.
The grape of casca was monstrous admittedly, he became monstrous.
But I think he was in love with guts. In my experience, when I've lost someone I have loved I have endulged in carnality just to escape reminiscing what times I shared with them. I've even become a bitter person. Tho I didn't do what Griffith did, but I could see why.
He threw away his dreams because of losing someone that made him feel different. Guts was his escape.
Perhaps I'm projecting, perhaps 8ts not the love ive felt but the kind you'd have for a dear friend. Griffith is one of my favorite characters because of how he is.
That and he's pretty
For sure graping is bad but feeding your comrades to demons is pretty monstrous also.
I love to see someone who appreciate and love the berserk as well as I do
Congrats on 300k🥳🥳
I guess Jojo fans were right : A true brotherhood, the real bond between two men always comes off as a lil « sus ». Griffith and Guys are the best example to ever exist. It’s not a shit, it’s not a kink, it’s not fantasy but it is simply *A True Romance*.
This video is great! Keep up the great work homie.
Only thing thats incorrect was the last sentence. Berserk is at LEAST a little gay and it is all the better for it.
This video is beautiful.
@7:50 well my dude, thats just how their dynamic works, it is what it is
Finally the video I always wanted. 🙏 masked man I knew u were one of us
Love to see more videos so fast
Goated video for using the Majula music
You know ironically after watching this video an idea comparison came to my head about a character that can relate to the torture of pursing a dream that character being Shirou Emiya from Fate
Shirou just retarded.
Good ol fate, where anyone with the name emiya will suffer
I’ve had similar perspectives recently. Great video
I love the Dark Souls music in the background
thank you this is a beautiful video
you are amazing i appreciate you :)
Another detail; Griffith claims he's blameless for anyone who lost their lives in helping him pursue his dream as they all did it of their own free will. He didn't MAKE them. However, he fought to make Guts to join him, as well as attempt to make him stay.
I'm also glad Griffith eventually found out Guts' reason for leaving. I think its what motivated him to continue to pursue his dream despite his crippled state. He wanted to remain equal to Guts and, by his own definition, still be friends. So when Guts ran up to him in the lake and put his hand on his shoulder with newfound pity, he knew he no longer saw him as a "friend" ("...never again with you...!"). Guts actually shared that sentiment, saying the one person he didn't want looking down on him was Griffith. I think it's safe to assume Griffith felt the same
I think its very large we dont have to limit it to romance or else, it tell the story of guts and of course show every aspect of life and guts life and aspect of himself
bottom griff deserves some love too 🤧🤧
I wish Griffisu wasn't evil he's so cute

Maybe the real eclipse was the friendship we didn't realize we had all along...
If you like Slipknot, you might like the band Brand of Sacrifice, a Deathcore band. Yes, they were inspired by Berserk, they have songs solely about Berserk, such as Charlotte, God Hand, Eclipse, etc.
Great band
this video was so well made
It's definitely my favorite romance story. Two broken people finding solace in eachother, only to both be further traumatized by a jealous man child who seeks only power and domination. Through all the horror and psychological profiling, Miura made probably the greatest and most real romantic relationship with Guts and Casca. It feels earned and in spite of all the terror, I feel they both will get their happy reunion eventually.
A damn good romance.
3:12 That.. word.. will never have the same meaning to me
I do want to say it is a Love Triangle 🔺️ but an ever so... Why!!
