Truly the worst case scenario.

I put my head down on my desk when that happened

That’s tragically hilarious.

"Why won't you DIE?!"

Yar har, fiddle dee dee.

*Years Later*

*Watch this comment age like ale.* 🧜‍♂️🧜‍♀️

Well now there’s the dragon path so if they figure out how to use it I’m sure it won’t take long to get to falconia

leaving tis comment here because this will not age well

Yea thats his entire life story.

I'd probably put my bet on them just being pirates there to be jobbers for the beast. This is a world with slavers so they're probably just taking them for that reason.

I hope these Kushan are under Daiba's command, and Rickert, Daiba and Silat are with them.

Gutsichu: "You don't have to tell me twice, but during the Golden Age..."

Meanwhile, the kush boys manifest on the *b o a t,* hopefully making the ride home a little faster at the cost of a few fingers...

Considering how so far he's been drawn in his regular appearance over that comic relief chestnut look he's had for several years now ever since the group started to grow, I think that might be plausible.

Yeah, I hope old Puck will stay by Guts's side and help him regain confidence somehow.

Fr, puck hasent even had a real conversation with guts since the monkey joined(idk his name)

And that's assuming Skull Knight isn't just the evil imaginary friend himself manifested in reality and it has just become more civilized over time 😄

Zodd.

Void, maybe

Maybe his horse

^^With the berserker armor originally belonging to him and him being pretty much a ghost trapped in his skull knight armor, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched that he tamed his own beast of darkness

I thought Guts couldn't use the behelit because he was already branded?

That would be awkward because if he wants to make a sacrifice he has to consult the godhand which includes Griffith. It will turn into a comedy if this happens.

Maybe Guts is the real Godhand protegee and Griffith pushing him further to the dark side is just his training?

Guts already knows that the behelit won't give him the power to beat Griffith. We saw that with the Kushan emperor. He can't beat the God hand with power bestowed by them.

@@halcionjoy7 exactly. I feel like the behelit theory came from people that haven't read the manga and like berserk because it's the cool thing to do nowdays or people who just started reading and didn't catch up yet.

I completely forgot I did read this chapter lmfao, I had to reread before watching this video.

I think it would be kind of interesting if the armor didn't even take over, we see old fashioned Lost Children Guts just absolutely consumed by bloodlust and rage to a point he is hardly even aware of his surroundings with the Beast whispering in his ear but not taken over by the armor. The party knows he is a completely different level of warrior capable of feats no other human could ever hope to match in battle but this would finally show the party just how dangerous Guts really is when his mental state is deteriorated like this because aside from some glimpses by Serpico and Farnese, nobody but Puck has ever seen that side of Guts and the absolute world ending wrath he is capable of even without the armor taking control of his mind. Lost Children era Guts when he gets all twitchy and psychotic during a fight like with Rosine is not a man you want around a tightly enclosed space where injured people and children are.

I think it's going to be more about how Guts' allies defend and protect him. Guts is a little bit egotistical in thinking that he is the only one that can protect his loved ones. It would be very poetic for everybody to save guts, and for the journey ahead to be lead mostly by the side cast.

@@Sammysapphira That would be interesting. Time for Schierke to really shine!

​@@hieioni3354isidro boutta enter his own black swordsman arc

@@kavana.official Lol imagine that. Black Stone Thief xD

Yeah, every other time (without Silat) they would just kill everybody.

I really like this idea, though it is hard to justify, as far as I know Rickert has no idea where exactly Guts went to, maybe just that it is an island on the west, with that information them finding Guts would be a stretch, and with how thight Berserk story is( aside from bungie jumping with normal rope, worst decision) I don't think that would be all of it, there has to be something more to it to justify it, probably

@@vitorschein8073 I didn't say Rickert sent them. Only that they seemed to be looking FOR Guts specifically, for some unknown reason.

@@Burns_RED oh, didn't even cross my mind really, I just assumed you were talking about Rickert lol

@@Burns_RED Rickert is just an ally of the Kushan under Daiba's command. If anything, Daiba sent them to look for Guts and co based on Rickert's counsel.

Same here, dude. I'm not convinced that The Beast of Darkness isn't just the evil energy FROM the sword. If Guts were ever parted from the Dragon Slayer for and extended period of time, then maybe it's influence would weaken or go away altogether. I know his sword doesn't have a demon in it, but it's definitely cursed by this point. It never started out as a magic weapon.

Villains*

I mean, dude already has 20 hours long video that covers everything up to elfhelm. And if it's true that berserk is approaching it's final arc then it wouldn't be THAT hard.

To combine individual chapters I could assume, can be a lot. If this arc is gonna be big. We really don't know but I am excited to see it either way

Well, now that he has reached the current chapters he will repeat himself a lot, so he would have to either cut those videos or make a new script, which I think is the better option since there will be call backs to important things that don't seem important right now, so it wouldn't be as insightful as a new script with the hindsight of what should be talked about

Rickert did slap his ass though

​@@69for5dollah well yeah but Rickert is just built different. Not anyone can be as chad as him.

That is such a good observation!

The only thing Daiba can do now for Guts is to weaken the brand's effects and find out a way to use the Berserker Armor effectively.

@@hieioni3354 I'm guessing Daiba may be able to help Guts understand both the sword and assist in easing the effects of the weight elementals. I just hope Farnese and Shrieke can do something to help get him out of his slump. Probably Rickert could help snap Guts out of that state of depression. Reminding him there is still a chance to save Casca and defeat Griffith. All before the Godhand eats away the last hope of humanity.

@@ScottE-2 Yep. And Daiba may be able to help Guts understand the nature of the Beast of Darkness too. As for Farnese, she stayed back in the material realm to watch over Schierke's body so Schierke has to rein in the Beast of Darkness this time. Also, yeah, I hope Rickert will give Guts a good speech about hope and all that so Guts can stay focused on rescuing Casca.

hellscape to berk

"Whats the difference?"-Griffith

Shit if magic is based on will and belief, then the man with the most unbreakable will has the highest potential

I have the theory that Godot unknowingly willed the Beast of Darkness into existence when he created the Dragonslayer, because it was created out of frustration and malice. It's always been attached to the sword, but but only awakened the way it did because Guts began using it. This would tie in with the idea that we don't know everything about Godot, and his disappearing into the mountains may have had more to do with the Beast of Darkness than we know

@@kikrinman1450I raise your theory with my own: The Beast of Darkness didn’t start appearing until after Guts and Puck took the Slug Count’s Behelit, and then Lost Children happened. I draw the parallel to when Griffith hallucinated his idealized self just before sacrificing the Band of The Hawk

Rickert probably went to the Bakiraka village after escaping from Falconia, and then he asked Daiba to look for Guts and co. The Kushan boarding the Seahorse must be under Daiba's command.

The latest chapter is out but I have yet to see any Arabian trick hunter weapons.

@@Rosstisery The Kushan are not arabs. They're indian. Also, it's not even about having Kushan weapons.

Hes going to have to give up something or gain something. There is no way he can face any of the God hand and win. It's basically pointless without more power.

@@thedude8526 If anything, he should forget the Godhand altogether and only gain whatever healing or power is necessary to protect any innocent people caught between Griffith's demonic empire and whatever the Skull Knight is about to do.

@@theholygamer969 Griffith will never let him or his friends rest. There's nothing Guts can do aside from struggling and pressing on.

​@@thedude8526They can't ESCAPE to a paradise, but they can MAKE a paradise out of the home they have. But first, they have to take it back from Griffith and the Godhand. We just don't know how they're gonna do that yet.

Beast gonna team up with slan to break guts to sacrifice man

That's a great observation. Could wrap/braid it into some sort of wearable item as an indication of Griffiths state.

People forget that the first time he encountered Griffith he couldn't even get near him let alone touch him. Now a hair was taken. That means it can hit him. He'll need stronger Demonic blood like oh say the generals of the band of the hawk for example....

@@vancejohnson-beal8142or the godhand since Slan was impaled

No, Griffith has Casca kidnapped to prevent the Moonlight Boy from going to Guts every single time.

Arcanum the video game?

@@betuna9487 Yes

@@carterwow Well I hope not.

so kinda like angry jack from season five of samurai jack? i say that because in the final season he was dealing with an alternate state of mind who was constantly lashing out and attempting to make jack essentially go nuts. however jack learns that he needs to balance his inner thoughts and life in order to be worthy again of using his magical sword. are we now saying that essentially with some consideration that guts very well just needs to learn to accept and work with his depression and anger in order to become more powerful?

@@moviemaker2011z Pretty much, yes; although, the closest thing to a “power up” Guts got was the Berserker Armor, which only made him not care about the pain of battle, rather than increasing his strength, and therefore it drains him. So “becoming more powerful” in this story will be different from, say, going Super Saiyan. Yamcha pose notwithstanding.

@@alialmuhanna4938 agreed, i think guts learning something about himself or learning to deal with the anger within his mind and body would be what it takes to destroy the godhand if not just griffith. i mean magic is fine and dandy but guts has never needed it before, the only "magic" he has ever used was healing powder from puck and such, or the berserker armor which is more of a curse than anything. so for him to gain a magical buff would be very much against the plot of the entire series. it was always stated by the original creator that guts would have a happy ending and that no ending would feel right without one due to all the suffering that everyone guts especially has faced. so we know that in the end guts WILL win but how so is going to be the hard to answer question. just having faith in yourself doesnt do jack shit in a world where faith in anything is only good for seeing magical creatures both good and bad or even for the denial of being able to see those things. so guts' buff up will be from something within himself i think but what he does is hard to say for now. maybe he will figure out that he alone cannot beat griffith and that he does need the help of all his friends to pull it off, because as we all know guts is doing all the work in terms of trying to fight the godhand, the rest of the crew are only there for the purpose of defending casca who is now gone. so maybe they will all put 100% of their strength into her rescue that it ends up fucking over the godhand.

Kushan* . And I think those Kushan are under Daiba's command.
