I just feel bad for the Hydra. Hydra didn't ask to be here, Hydra didn't want that beating, Hydra just wanted to live alone in a cave or some shit.
Hydra wouldn't put Hamtaro in C tier
...and eat unicorns - LIKE LORD VOLDEMORT. Hydra = evil
A Jotunn teabagged my friend & totally crushed him, the giant balls were just too much.
god what a beautiful comment
Miura's art skills were so insane
I hope the giants weren’t all killed. Love to see them. They theoretically could be persuaded since they are somewhat intelligent
I want to see one become an apostle and rebel against Griffith.
So, I am Icelandic and due to my upbringing I am very much familiar with Norse mythology, and I really liked the fact that Kentaro Miura included Jötnar in Berserk. I am also incredibly grateful for the fact that he did not call them "Frost Giants". Whoever came up with that name was an idiot.
As far as accuracy goes, the Jötnar as depicted in Berserk are more accurate than the depiction you would likely find in modern video games and Hollywood. But it is worth mentioning that there are many types of Jötnar. Loki was part Jötunn, and the god Skaði ( wife of the sea god Njörður ) was a full-on Jötunn, and she was actually worshipped in Sweden if I remember correctly. So while the Berserk version of Jötnar is fairly accurate to the myths, it would be a mistake to assume that all Jötnar in Norse mythology specifically are big evil half-naked brutes who look like barbarians.
I always thought jotnar defines beings from Jotunheim, not just a species of monster
Like calling someone from new york a new yorker, calling something a jotnar refers to it hailing from Jotunheim and not a type of monster. Because in Norse mythology not all jotnar are monstrous
The "Frost Giant" thing is complete bullshit lmao.
7:14
Some human in Griffiths army:
"Thats my summer house!"
Round of applause for Zod 😂😂😂😂
Their design is fantastic! Using an actual roof or human armor as a loincloth are creative touches! Usually you'd see some random loincloth like a cave man on a giant, but Miura knocked this outta the park!
I never expected to find a depiction of Jotun looking kind of cute in how they fashion armor and being kinda majestic like some great ape
Best strategy I can think off is using pike and shot formations accompanied by vast numbers of missile cavalry and artillery, but it will be best to not fight in a pitch-battle with this creatures, better to lure them and kill them while they are unorganized, due to their size it will be easy to cut them off supplies and force them to look out for food in the wilderness and villages, forcing them to split up, making then easy prey for ambushing parties
Even with like 50 guys per yotun they are not 'easy prey'.
@@doughnutboyo6922 No, not infantry but rather mounted units would do wonder against them, javeline men in horses could easy target their heads and bring them down, nafta bombs would also work perfectly
@@lorddervish212quinterosara6 easily? They would have to be dodging them at the same time. I wouldn't call that easy.
Fuck yeah! He's back and prepared
I don't know if any of you remember but in the witcher 3, the ice giant also used an anchor chain as a flail like the jotunn in this video
Good spot I've been playing again recently
They appeared in one chapter and died out in the other. Wtf Miura, they're the coolest looking entities in the new world...
I must say, when I came across The Griffith army vs the Jotūns for the first time, it felt so bizzare and out of place you know? Then later in Elfhelm it clicked me when the old man said that Griffith is doing things utterly selfishly, not one care in the world about the world itself. These creatures, the Jotūns, they have evil intent alright but what are they being even killed for? They weren't supposed to be here in the first place. Griffith is disrupting the unspoken balance of different worlds..
I mean sure if I would be a god, or Ryan would be, we could have all the ladies n everything and still take care of the kingdom a fair bit- that's the very normal selfish nature of man since ancient times but this guy... He's the most careless selfish MF I've seen.
Griffith is a spoilt child god. He thinks the world was made for him to be at the centre of everything. He can use the life and the nature of this world as he pleases.
He who doesn't give a dam about the world he inhabits should be sentenced with the greatest pain that sustains beyond time. And what greater irony can it be than Guts, a normal human of that very world if becomes the deliverer of that pain to Griffith.
I'm pretty sure it's because the entire world has been filled with Astral monsters. All of humanity can't fit in Falconia so Griffith is making it safer for other people to live. It's basically a step in reclaiming the world and it's conquest.
Of course, he started the entire mess. But what he's doing currently is the logical thing to do and what's best for humanity. At least as far as we can see
@@Ash_Wen-li I think creating a fantasy by and for oneself and making the entire world work for it is perhaps the most loneliest thing someone could do. Nobody around Griffith knows an iota of truth. And imagine if it were all to crumble down someday with time or space or Guts or whatever, and that realisation will hit Griffith that he has been lonely all along . Since the time he was imprisoned as a man, he has never truly found any closure. He just made it all up so that the world surrounds and works with him at the centre. Awful.
Obviously the Griffith we knew is long lost to Femto. But if he's in there somewhere, I bet he is crying.
Well he literally is in 364
@@s0ulweaver Who’s the old man? And yeah Griffith has always been selfish. I think he remarks this to Guts when him and Zoe’s reunites with Guts on sword hill. He’s like a evil pre-Shippuden Sasuke. He sacrificed for power but in the end couldn’t kill Naruto just scratch his headband.
so human eating monsters shouldnt be taken out lmao your delusional
@@s0ulweaver Against heresy. That's what the IOE is for, my friend.
One of the most forgettable fights of Berserk tbh. Griffith just steamrolled them. The giants had no opportunity to show their strength.
I don't know what you are talking about. I loved it, the art and scale of this fight is similar to the Ganishka spawn vs Apostles, just insanity. An army of Monsters fighting an army of monsters. You say this is forgettable lol
We've seen RLR vs Sasquatch.
Now prepare yourselves for RLR vs a Jotunn's balls.
The jotuns from Berserk are basically a perfect copy of the norwegian trolls from folklore. They originate from the jotun of old mythology of course, but they've been made alot less regal and intelligent over the years, transformed into dumb monsters in the woods who thirst for christian blood but can be outsmarted by children. The jotun, unlike the trolls, didn't look like monsters, they were just like the gods only usually bigger, but not necissarily that much bigger. They generally outmatched all other types of gods, with only Thor being stronger than them, and even Odin having to parley with them.
But whats truly interesting to me is the origins of the jotun in Norse Mythology. According to some scandinavian historians the jotun are probably a mythologized idea of a group of seemingly very tall people living in the north of Norway before and at the beginning of the bronze age. They had an impressive diet of seal living far from the northern most norwegian coast, meaning they much have been impressive sea-farers considering they were in the stone age. It is suggested that they had rivalries with the petty kingdoms of southern scandinavia which lead to the ancient myths about the wars between the Aesir gods, the Vanir gods, and the Jotnar.
Eventually it seems like these tall northerners migrated south at the start of the bronze age because that is when scandinavia started to form centralized power where the bronze weapons were made, which was only in the south because they were the ones trading with the greeks and anatolians for the bronze. This is also the same time when rock carvings depicting huge warriors with horned helmets carring boats appear in the south of Scandinavia. Are they just artistic depictions of powerful people? or are they being literal and just paint big people as big? This would suggest that they painted some people big because those northerners were big. Either way it is interesting knowing their connection with sailing for seal.
In a way Grunbeld is like the original version of a jotun, just a really big guy, while these jotuns are like the more modern trolls from norwegian folklore, while the things that are actually called trolls in Berserk are like swedish trolls, whom are known to be small and less spooky than the norwegian trolls who are usually depicted as gigantic.
The battle with these giants gave me "Second Hawk battle against Kushans"(The one where Irvine and Mule are introduced) vibes.
Awesome video! Love the berserk series, always fills that gap of missing berserk related content.
Jotunn leader with the Dino Throne?? We need more of them
Everyone loves a monster Manual entry. Keep them coming king!
Great video ,I love the jotnar in nors mythology and the jotnar in berserk are interesting to me and you did a great job at explaining it
I completely forgot these guys existed
YES! I fucking love this series. Thanks for another great video Ryan!
You need to do a video reaction on Berserk World Map
Where's that?
GOAT. another fire upload
"Do you ready want to be that guy"🤣🤣🤣
Great video my guy keep it up
The Aesir were beings (gods) of older, the Joltunn were beings (monsters) of chaos.
*orler I think you meant "order" ,right?
Thanks dad!
You're welcome, son
I’m cool with being the legendary Jotunn Ball Slicer.
What I have learnt from Dark Souls is nibble at their ankles until they die
I missed the applause
Another fire monster manual Ryan. Hope to hear your views on OG comics. Like Batman year one or Spider-man if This Be my Destiny.
These guys are probably the strongest astral creatures under Apostles, its just that that gap is quite big... ppl don't give "gatekeepers" enough love, underated
3:20 Bruh could you imagine Zodd n friends charging straight for you I'd shit my pants
I love it when you mention zod
Berserk: "When Dungeons&Dragons Meet Junji itto"😅😂...... 😨😤🤩
always great content 👌 👏
I love this series
People in the comments talking like there'll be a continuation while I'm just out here confused asf lol KEEP GROWING BTW this video is another certified *BANGOR*
I LOVE GIANTS. I'm so glad U made this video
It's hard to identify the background, effects, and the characters in Miura's artstyle.
Well a 70% chance. I like those odds
Yay berserk content 🙌
Yay! Monster manual time! 🐛
Monster Manual series is goated
You know they some thin different when they keep a hydra as a pet
Will this ever be made into an anime in the same 97 style? If not why not? Surely it would be one of the all time great anime series and it’s what everyone wants, no?
7:20 judgin by the fact that some of them wear shields and human armor on their loincloths, you're propably not the first guy to come up with that idea.
15-20 feet? my dude must have the vision of stevie wonder to come to that when half a body is the size of a peck
He will sacrafice us, to gain godlike one Million subs xD
I hate it when monsters roll deep.
Nice video
didn't remember they existed
I like see the next video on Hydra. 🐍🐍🐍🐍
They yeeted people. They yoted the people. Thus the name yotann was bestowed amongst their kind. The yeeters of men yoted us and as such was named the yotnar.
Hey Ryan, Hope you're doing well brother. I was wondering if you have came across the "Berserk, Written in Darkness" book.? I just found it on Ebay today and there doesnt seem to many of them. Have you read it or know anything about it?
Thanks for your time.
(btw) I was one of your first 10 subscribers I believe. I deleted/refreshed my account many times since first subscribing, but I always resubscribe asap. Thanks for continuing to do what you do. Do you have any mech? I'd be proud to wear a RLR Berserk shirt.
im still bummed out berserk is dead
I think lord savior Griffith can make them slaves. Imagine how much free work power are they
Wtf, these giants have dragon or Dino bones? Hopefully we get see dragon/Dino fights :(
I felt bad for the Jotunn.
Sure they eat us humans like we're tiny chicken wings'n stuff, but they seem nice.
5:10 😂👏
I think the Hydra's faces look a little silly, a rare artistic misstep on Miura's part.
Kinda reminds me of depictions of Ilomba. If you're curious, use google
They look very similar to nordic trolls.🧐
I Subscribed
Where Army....
Guts would F-up the mcu. Like rip them apart and chew on their intestines.
Id use a sling shot like the lesser known anime protagonist David in David v Goliath Ch 3 lol jk
>Norse mythology is so prevalent, why
Because Norse people are Germanic.
English is a Germanic language.
You are very likely of Germanic ethnic heritage.
And no Germanic doesn't mean "German" although Germans are, of course, also Germanic.
Germans, Anglo Saxons, Faroese, Scandinavians, etc (but Finns are special, kind of being a bridge)
Quite a few Germanic people out there, both existing and historical.
And that marvel stuff, well, I can't say what I think about that on YT without my post being swallowed by the AI, not due to the swearing, but about who's behind making those movies and slandering the folklore of my (and perhaps our) people.
I hate how severely underpowered they were made in the manga...
im frantically watching every single one of them before they get demonetized lol
