Hopefully gigachad Rickert can teach Guts to hurt Griffith

"The manga will wrap up in 10 years." 40 years. That might make it the longest running manga of all time with an actual story. And isn't split into sequel series.

Another 10 years of Berserk? I'll clear my schedule

Guts is back and covered in chains while the Beast is free and full of rage, just another day in the world of Berserk.

Isidro is in shambles, Guts is in need of spiritual healing (and probably an exorcism from the Beast of Darkness), Shierke is following the Tree's branches to Casca, Skull Knight is nowhere to be found... ...but Rickert is here, with an army of Kushans who just want to know what's happening, and how to prepare for it. And the very fact that Griffith is still trying to hurt Guts and Casca may be the very thing that destroys his ambition. He can't have both his kingdom and control over his favorite possessions. He WILL fall.

TEN YEARS? Damn, that's one dedicated friend.

The Kushan attacking Falconia and becoming humanity's last hope would be such a great turnaround

I love seeing Puck in his true form, we’ve seen so much chestnut Puck for so long.

In the final chapter of the bazerk, when Guts told Griffith, "nah I'd win" I bawled my eyes out.

IM BERSERKING

Fun fact, Daiba's ptetodactyl pishaca are called "Garuda", named for a hindu wind god

Never forget that Daiba was also the one who prophesied about Ganishka's initial invasion of Midland, and gave him the behelit that would turn him into an Apostle. There's way more to Daiba than meets the eye.

I’m glad you’ve highlighted “the prana of Durga” I’d like to expand a little here …Durga literally translates as (difficult path) Dur (दुर्)= difficult /treacherous/ "गत" (gata)=to go/. So it’s very fitting that daiba referred to the berserker armour calling it ‘prana of Durga’ it’s like the essence of what he said was (an armour befitting for one on the path of struggle)or in simpler words (an armour with the strength of Durga) . Durga was also called upon when by the Hindu gods Brahma , Vishnu , shiva and all the celestial gods (nature gods) when the demon raktabeej appeared , raktabeej was very similar in power to a god hand as he sacrificed his humanity to gain the power which nearly made him immortal(he had the power that if a drop of his blood was spilled it would turn into another clone of himself) the gods had no problem killing him but it was like a weed that just keeps coming back situation , therefore they prayed to the goddess Durga who was able to chastise him after receiving and donning in her ten arms all the weapons wielded by the gods. There are many connections and parallels One could draw. Not only does prana mean life-force(energy) but it specifically means “ energy that rises up” as (apana) means life force that goes downward… I think I’ve heard skull knight say something about guts’ fate being similar to a fish that jumps out of the ocean of causality (karma) and defying the odds against him.

I was really hoping the new team would mean we get more than 3 chapters.. a year.. But it's looking like I'm going to be reading this with my grandkids at this rate.

You know hearing that this story may end within the next 10 years, I am turning 30 tomorrow, I may damn well be in my 40s by the time this happens

Can we just ADMIRE how much of an impact Kentaro has had on his team and their work? It's literally like he's still there with him, especially in their hearts!

The beast has broken its shackles, while Guts is ensnared in chains.

Studio Gaga deserves big respect for their attempt to recreate Miura's style. Starting off, the art was a definite downgrade but as the chapter have gone on the art has become downright phenomenal. You can still tell it's not Miura, but nonetheless Gaga has done a beautiful job bringing Berserk to life in his absence.

Daiba: “Squadala! We're off!” Rickert: “Wow! What are all those heads?” Daiba: “These are the faces of evil. You must conquer each!” 🎩 🐍 no step on Snek!🇺🇸🇭🇰

Puck going backt to his old role gets me hyped tbh

Curious when guts is going to fully go "berserk", he's more vulnerable than ever right now

Honestly 10 years waiting time to have the complete story of berserk told sounds pretty good

Fun fact about Durga: although she was primarily a goddess of protection and warfare, she had another aspect that would occasionally emerge named Kali who was a goddess of wanton violence and destruction. She would slaughter people by the millions, guzzle their blood, and her frantic dancing could end the world if not stopped. This leaves some pretty ominous implications of what could happen if the beast of darkness takes over completely.

I love how the art is getting better with every chapter

WOO YEAH!!!! OLD PUCK!!!!! godamn you're 25 old man

I think a major part of guts "healing" will be him learning Rickert actually struck Griffith

In your 30’s when this wraps up… yeah I hear ya. I’ll be stepping into my 50’s. Very weird to think about. Conversely, I like being alive, so it’s nice to have things to look forward to.

I’m glad the series will go on for another 10 years. Normally I don’t consume media after the lead creative dies, but Berserk is an exception. If I can’t finish the series my Father started with me all those years ago, then my Son will finish our legacy with Mr. Miura Kentaro.

I actually want to talk a little bit about Isidro here because I think his reaction is a little more reasonable and deeper than people say, at least from his perspective. This is gonna be long so read the tl;dr If you’d like. People always talk about how easy Isidro’s life has been in comparison to the rest of the party and I’ve never understood this. Yeah he’s far more upbeat than the rest but let’s not forget that Isidro was a homeless child in the middle of berserks bleakest time period. In real life, being homeless is among the most difficult circumstances anyone can find themselves in. Going to sleep every night cold and starving, not knowing if you’ll wake up to someone trying to piss on you or rob you or worse, not having anywhere to belong or anyone who wants you, being treated like more of a rat than a human. I have friends who’d lived on the streets of Dublin for more than 5 years and the way they describe their experiences is genuinely horrifying. I can’t even imagine what it would be like for a child to experience that, and that’s just our world. Now look at Berserks. Isidro’s dealt with people trying to rob him or murder him or both on a near hourly basis. The first time we meet him 3 different groups of bandits all try and the 3rd damn near succeed, and he’s so used to it that he literally poisoned his own food knowing someone would do this. He’s become completely desensitised to things full grown adults should never be forced to witness and has adapted to it. Unlike Guts, Isidro can’t fight back. Every fight he’s pulled into is a fight he’s gonna lose; because he’s a scrawny, malnourished child who was never taught how to defend himself. He’s had to claw and scrape and con and steal just to stay alive everyday. His life was bloody miserable, and the fact that he actively CHOSE that hell instead of going home to his village shows that his home life before this was probably even worse. Lost children showed us just how bleak the lives of “normal” kids are in berserks world, Isidro’s probably wasn’t any better (especially since he exhibits numerous traits that children who are neglected suffer). Another factor is that Isidro is only 14 at max. Most of the parties worst moments happened in their late teens. Compare the lives of the different members at age 14 to Isidro’s and honestly, I’d say only Guts’ and maybe Casca’s could be considered worse. If he was in any other story than berserk he’d be one of the most tragic characters in the roster; the dude literally named PAIN in naruto had pretty much the same childhood. Yeah he’s never lost anything but he’s never even had the benefit of having anything to lose to begin with. I’d rather have a loving and warm home for my childhood and lose it than suffer not having it from the beginning. The journey wasn’t a fun adventure for him, it was just that sleeping rough, not getting any sleep and constantly being hunted wasn’t new territory for him. All this to say: he didn’t have a hopeful future to look forward to. That was, until he met Guts. Some people say Guts is to Isidro what Gambino was to Guts (though obviously in a far more healthy way) but I’ve gotta disagree here again. I consider Isidro to be a reflection of what might’ve happened with Guts if the band of the hawk wasn’t lead by Griffith. Isidro is closer to the age Guts was when he first joined the hawks than when Guts was with Gambino, and Isidro had already developed his worldview and methods of survival. Before he met Guts he was a vindictive, self serving, egotistical, apathetic megalomaniac who revelled in feeling superior to everyone around him, but at the same time he was very clever and always seemed to achieve what he wanted. This only began to change when he met Guts; and despite the circumstances being just as bleak, having someone like Guts in his life to be an example really did prevent Isidro from going down a dark path. Instead he actually changed quite a lot throughout the story and he did it by emulating Guts. Guts never sat him down and talked about self betterment, but just by Guts accepting responsibility for what he’s done and being better: this kid who was either gonna die or live to become something terrible became the best version of himself. In conviction he bitterly spat into a crowd of dying people. In Fantasia he led the evacuation of elfhelm and ensured everyone got out safely, despite being treated like a joke there too. So to Isidro Guts isn’t just a friend he’d fight Zodd for (which he would); he’s literally a guideline for him to live by. So seeing Guts crumble like this is near impossible for him to comprehend, especially since Isidro himself is still reeling from losing the first person he ever loved or who ever really loved him. If even Guts is defeated here, then what chance does Isidro have at getting back up himself? At least that’s probably how he sees it. Isidro despite his presentation is a character I find to be both uplifting and kinda depressing at the same time. He reminds me of so many kids I knew growing up who dealt with horrible circumstances and were judged for being immature and obstinate when that was just the coping mechanisms they adapted to survive their poor lives, and I hate to say it but most of those kids either ran away or got sent to social services and aged out of it or died. I like to think that the ones I never heard from again were like Isidro, and struggled against the way the world saw them and became the best versions of themselves with better people in their lives with them, but If I’m being real, they all probably wound up the same way. Seeing him so upset at Guts makes perfect sense even if you do kinda want to punch him for it, but I guess that Kushan soldier had us covered there. Tl;dr Isidro’s life was fucking bleak as shit until Guts came along, and by emulating Guts Isidro became a far better and healthier person. Guts is everything Isidro believes he should be, so seeing Guts like this is a sign that everything they’ve all been though and everything he’s done since meeting him has been hopeless.

Let's face it, we all gonna ask Miura directly what the end of Berserk is before we see it on paper, on this schedule.

This 10 year journey will be soo worth it. I hope everybody will have a wonderful trip.

Hey I was cool with Tolkiens son taking over with his dads notes, so I certainly don’t mind this continuation either 👌

Seeing Puck come to major role in the story would make me really happy. As much as I enjoyed him and Isidro’s banter, he has seen some of the worst moments in Guts’ life, even aware of what happened in the eclipse and how much he truly hates Griffith. Puck stepping up and even being apart of the healing process would be fantastic.

Damn we have a whole 10 years left of Berserk?? The way the series is going I thought it would end in atleast 2-3 years but 10?! That means there’s even more things to uncover. Like A LOT more

Gosh Isidro reaction is my favorite part about this chapter. From the start,kid always admire Guts. Not just his strenth but how he’d carried himself. Seeing him like this must be terrifying and depressing

Ill be in my 40s when this is over wdf!

Dude I’ve been reading Berserk since 01 and I’m now 36. Don’t give up the hope.

It’s sad to see how everyone is looking at Guts now. It’s a look of sadness and pity. Sort of. They feel for the guy, but don’t know what to do. Isidro losing faith in Guts was hard to see, too. I can’t wait until we see new chapters.

Y'know, as much as I hate how long it takes for the chapters, I'll admit it, I'm actually okay with more Berserk over the course of ten years. Any day over those years, and I can appreciate some chapters as the years go by.

I can’t believe nuts berkman lost Costco and didn’t berserker 😳

So I finally sat down and watched your 21-hour video regarding Berserk. Fantastic stuff and easily the best coverage of Berserk I've seen on this site. But in truth, I find myself interested in the goals of Griffith and Void and who is playing who. Watching through your retrospective and reading through Berserk again, has really made me consider things about the narrative and about Griffith. Here is the thing. I don't think Griffith can kill Guts. It isn't just because I am not convinced that Griffith is gone - actually, part of the interesting aspect of Griffith is that there are three people within his body - himself, Femto, and the Moonlight child. I find this all ties back into the Egg of the New World and how its variables and choices, might have thrown a little bit of wrench into the Godhand's plans. Looking over everything, I think it is safe to say that history was repeating itself with all of humanity being shepherded to Falconia for one massive offering, just as it was in the past. Why? Perhaps to manifest the Idea of Evil into an actual form, rather than just an abstract existence. But I wonder if Griffith is playing the Godhand - using them to further his own objectives. After all, the Idea of Evil told him to do what he wanted, even pointing out that Griffith could use his powers to bring suffering or salvation - it really was up to him. So what if... what if Griffith wanted to become something else. What if Griffith wanted to become the Ideal of Good? It's stuff like this that makes me love Berserk, it's something that really is special.

just finished all your berserk videos from the very begining up to this on and theres 2 things i want to say: first of all, great work! your recaps are entertaining and very descriptive. i literally binged everything in the last 2 days lol so thank you fo all your work. its a really grat way to catch up on the series. secondly, i had no idea these "chapters" were so damn short??? like watching all your multiple hr long videos really spoiled me lol. this feels like it would have been 5 pages to flip through!😂 i hate that now ill have to wait like everyone else to see what happens next after watching 20+years worth of content in 2 days but i can say without a doubt ill be coming bac to you exclusively for my updates on the series. thanks again for your work and i cant wait for the next one 😊

I’m so happy I’m seeing everyone recognize how much the art has improved! I feel like I’m reading the actual Berserk again ❤️

I cant wait for Guts to say "It's Berserkin time" and Berserk all over Griffith

Thanks for another great video! Looking forward to the next !!!

dude your music taste fuckin rocks. and your interpretations of the story have kept me sane through it all. god bless the immense amount of work and love youve put into this series

You unintentionally gave me the best birthday gift, my dude. Good friggin show.

Thank you for keeping up with Berserk❤

Nice touch using the Guanter O’Dimm theme in the background

Excellent closing music. Thanks for the video.

I could honestly see Guts wearing a War God skin suit.

10:24 It's a trick! It says it *woudln't* take more than a decade!

i hope i'm still alive to read the ending of berserk at this point lol

Awesome video, amusing commentary, and the outro music 👌.

Hoping Daiba and the armor gets more fleshed out. Overall I'm souped to see more from the Kushans

Yes the only narration of berserk that I watch 🔥

Beast of Darkness really likes edging Guts

Leaving another comment to help it reach people's feeds. Yeah, this chapter was great. Some pointed out they nerfed Salut's pecks but honestly the art is on point. It is also crazy just HOW LONG it has been since Rickert got to speak with Guts, even if the man himself seems to have completely surrendered himself. I do wonder though, how the Dragon Slayer will play into this arc as will the beast of darkness. I just hope they can snap Guts out of this rut and get back on his feet. Friend of mine completely stopped reading Berserk after Kentaro's passing and I tried to convince him but he wouldn't. However, hearing new information that all of this was based off of his notes really gives me faith that they'll do it justice. I just hope they will be able to complete it.

Ty for making videos bro i watched all of them ❤❤

God damn you're still the best Berserk manga storyteller out of any of the other bigger channels out there, picking up on subtle details and lore others either (1) don't mention or (2) don't notice. I'm a big fan of world religions and spiritual references (and their interconnected through-lines between those religions); Miura, Mori, and Gaga *really* know how to tie things in beautifully that we can all relate to on a deep level in regards to those previously-mentioned things, and *I'm glad you pick up on them too!*

This is so awesome! I can’t wait for the next chapter!!

How soon Intel you drop chapter 376 I'm so excited.your videos specifically why I got into this master piece known as berserk thank you for real You've helped me get through some hard times keep doing you peace and positive vibes

And thus begins Guts' journey to converting to Islam. Soon, the might of Allah shall be unleashed upon Falconia and the Idea of Evil.

kinda frustrating to come to terms with the fact that i need to wait months for new chapters now. just a moment ago i could go on with my own pace (basically just loosing sleep so i could catch up all the way from the beginning) and now i have to accept that not every upcoming chapter is going to be interesting until its all wrapped in a volume sooner or later.

Thanks for getting me into this series I get hyped when I see you upload berserk

I've not been this hyped in a good minute!

Thank you Mate for this and love the song at the end fucking metal. .\,,/

Your Berserk analysis is the only one worth to be followed

I'm starting to realize I've watched more videos on berserk then i have reading berserk

8:37 It’s good that Puck gets to be relevant again. I think my favorite act of his was at the end of Conviction, when Guts is slicing through the Kushans on horseback with Casca, and Puck is holding the reigns of the horse. It’s a great panel.

I love and appreciate your content sm

this is always nice to see and I am torn... I have now almost all of the deluxe hardcovers the last one releasing next week and they are awesome... but I don't know if they will keep doing them for the post Miura chapters... still I am glad and yes buying berserk merch is important.

Love this guy keep up the good work man ❤️

The art in this chapter is impeccable. We are so back!

I think just like Farnesse and Shrike helping to bring Casca back, Puck and Rickert will be the ones to bring him back from the edge and get him back to fighting form

I really love your videos man keep it up

I been waiting for another berserk breakdown

Can't wait for the next one

9:50 Honestly, I can't fault Berserk fans who want to end it at 364. It's still a fairly decent wrap up. The party is safe in Elfhelm, Casca's back. Granted, she isn't able to look at Guts without loosing her shit, but that's something they can work through. Hell, she actually managed to talk to him from the other side of a tree. Griffith is king of Falconia, which sucks, but he's completely misirable. Unable to have what he sleeps of having, and only yerning for it as he wakes up. Rikert is off to the Kushan empire to be a badass too. It does work in a way. That said, I wanna see this end for real and so far the hype train has been going full steam ahead.

YOU'RE WELCOME FOR ME MENTIONING IT ON THAT CHAPTER BTW ABOUT THE PRAUNA OF DURGA

Finally caught up to berserk 💀 22 hrs of content but finally its berserkin' time

Thanks dude ✊

Might be short but definitely sweet , I’m just happy they’re still putting out new chapters 🎉

I’ve bought all 41 volumes and I can’t wait to buy more!!!

I liked when they opened the door and guts said "I am the one who berserks!"

I got to say flashing back to early Berserk to Peak Muira era to current really shows how the art has evolved and I agree the latest chapters have really captured that Muira feeling its not identical but I look at this and can say "yes this is indeed Berserk not something else trying to look like Berserk" if that makes sense?

Her name is still Schierke, not Shrike.😊

This is why I’m here 🙌🏻

@TheAlmightyLoli Spotify playlist when??? You always have absolute bangers in the Berserk vids

10 years! GOD DAMN!

Like Hearts of Stone music in the background. Nice touch Loli

Can't wait it looks great 👍

Finally some real metal for the background

It just gets me that Griffith is still being a prick to Guts and Casca when he has literally everything he has ever wanted. It will blow up in his face like when he slept with the Princess.

Daib will have a redemption arc after what he has done for many years with his kushan demon army.

I really love the building at the Kushan capital. It greatly resembles the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey. The Kushans kinda feel like an amalgamation of Indian, Arabian, and Turkish culture.

Hey this was great. Would love to see you analyze claymore in the same style/depth as you have for berserk.

Just so you know we’re still in the Fantasia Arc. The Elf Island Chapter ended, and now we’re in the Eastern Exile Chapter. It’s not the Eastern Exile Arc.

It's amazing how much visuals have improved to basically Miura's level.

Finally this is my main channel for berserk
