Ok Guess I'll help out Chapters: 0:01 intro and continuing the legacy 3:08 quick recap (previously) 8:53 End of Fantasia Arc

"Why would you push these men to violence when they've spent their lives perfecting it" Is such a raw line

I can't describe how grateful I am to Mori and Studio Gaga for taking the risk of finishing the story. It's still sad knowing that Miura isn't the person who is now drawing the story, but knowing that his apprentices and his best friend are the ones who are closing the book on this story makes me happy. Yes the story won't be the way it was now that we are heading towards the end, but I'm content with the fact that we are least getting an ending.

Babe, wake up. TheAlmightLoli is premiering more Berserk content

I'd assumed Griffith brought Casca back simply to eliminate him getting sucked halfway across the world every month. Sort of eliminating a point of vulnerability. I didn't think for a second he cared a bit about what it meant to her, or how she felt. Not trying to hurt or torture her, not trying to help or comfort her, just keeping a bird in a cage with him, to make sure he can stay where he wants to be instead of getting pulled away to her each month.

I can't state how much i love these videos. I've listening to the full berserk saga multiple times and i love it every time.

I think it's interesting that Guts was laughing while slashing at Griffith, like the situation was so unfathomable and he was so utterly useless at doing damage that it became amusing. That to me illustrated his hopelessness pretty effectively. He just kept swinging, and laughing...he actually went insane.

I think Rickert is able to hit Griffith because he is the only remaining Band of the Hawk Member that didn’t get sacrificed. So in a way, he is the only remaining part of Griffith’s old self

On paper, having Casca in a protected location removes Griffith from disappearing once a month. He is potentially at risk when in this form. Off the books, (imo that is probably wrong) the moonlight child's feelings are influencing griffith/bringing out his human emotions. As for Zodd, I think he's getting more annoyed with Griffiths entanglement with Guts for reasons of his "moral code". He might have a "kill them or don't, stop the games" mindset. Zodd is the employee bitter at the boss but still doing their job

The beast of darkness waited until guts was at his most vulnerable, everyone seems to forget that since it was in the middle of everyones favorite boat arc

Starting 2 months ago I started reading Berserk. Shortly after I found your Berserk complete saga video and started watching along with my reading. I just want to say how thankful I am for all the work you've put into these videos. It REALLY helped me understand the story past my own opinions and conclusions. This story has been such an emotional roller coaster. I've never read anything like this ever and I am just so thankful for Miura. This is hands down the best story I've ever seen.

About the beast of darkness not taking over against Griffith: One of two things happened. 1. It didn't take over on purpose (given the latest chapters) 2. It was a throwback to Griffith's incarnation when guts saw him again and forgot his rage. Maybe Griffith's human form is making Guts struggle to have enough rage and bloodlust. Maybe femto would make him go all out as there are no good memories with femto

IMO, Griffith’s powers (minus the telekinesis), are tied to how he is perceived. Keep in mind that apostle powers and forms are tied to their grievances when they called the godhand, for example Wylad was an old coward, so he indulged in everything as an apostle. Griffith’s goal was to have a kingdom, but in that pursuit he always put on a good face, Guts did most of his dirty work like the assassination and his greatest strength was his charisma, which improves people’s view of you. When he sacrificed the brand, he had all that mystique ripped away and was viewed as pitifully as one could be. Additionally, when he became a demon, what is the first thing he did? He traumatized the two people who knew him on the most intimate level, the people who had a high opinion of him but a less grandiose view of him, making them in a twisted way think higher of him in Gut’s case, as the source of his revenge, making him obsessed but just in the opposite manner. Meanwhile casca was broken so it didn’t particularly matter. The only one to injure Griffith was Rickert, someone too young to really see him as someone grand when he was little and also escaped the eclipse, so his actions had no real effect on him. He just views him as a man he once knew, nothing more, nothing less. This is also why Griffith is going east, as Rickert is a loose end that he saw escape with Kushans, that should they decode the secret to his invulnerability, could actually kill him given enough of a concerted effort, especially in the hands of a certain pissed off swordsman. Edit: Another possibility is Griffith’s rizz speech from golden age being the key. “To be considered my friend one must have his own dreams even if it means clashing with my own” or something to that effect. It’s possible that anyone who doesn’t fulfill those conditions just straight up can’t hit him or just get pulled in by his charisma.

Don't forget that Griffith is also the Moonlight boy and I'm sure that guts and cosca both have figured it out that he is in fact their child. So most likely the reason guts couldn't kill him is because somewhere deep inside he knows he would be striking down his own child. Even though we know how messed up that is to begin with.

I think Zodd turning baby face is a strong possibility.

My theory is now that Griffiths body is intertwined with the moon child, he’s vulnerable in that state. He may be essentially invincible but Guts has clearly had tangible interactions with the moon child whereas Griffith phases through his attacks. I think Griffith is made vulnerable in that form and that would be the ultimate poetic punishment: Guts has to kill the child of himself and Casca to defeat Griffith and achieve his revenge. It’s also a parallel to the sacrifice apostles make. Whether or not he does it, I don’t know. I would assume he would grow enough on his journey to not make that sacrifice but maybe he’s put in a position where he doesn’t have a choice. I left this part as a reply to another comment on here but it adds overall to my theory of a thematically poetic tragedy. ​​Not to mention when his own adoptive father sought to kill him in order to “end a curse”. Honestly, there’s quite a few parallels that could be made between Griffith and Gambino. Both took Guts into their fold as a soldier and surrogate family member. Both had selfish desires while Guts admired and sought to attain their love. Both sacrificed Guts innocence for self gain and caused the insurmountable divide between them. They both sent Guts down a dark path to which he had to climb his way out of to find a new family and a new reason to fight. Guts now has to become that same father figure if he wants to exact his revenge or reject his destiny. He now must sacrifice his own son to achieve his goals. But who knows, maybe they’ll write something good instead.

Don't budge to the masses. Never stop calling them FAR-NIECE and SHRIKE.

I'm calling it now, the Moonlight Child will be the way to beat Griffith. Gut's will have to do a repeat of when he yeets the kid in Golden Age to his own son.

End of Fantasia is one of many reasons why I LOVE BERSERK!!!!! This series kept me on my toes since i was 9 and i'm 30 now lol..

33:29 You know things are in rough shape when Guts is in the “Yamcha”pose 💀

Thank you for getting me into berserk. Like you said in the first video, it's become one of my favorite things ever

To me, the plot thread that I am most interested in following is that… Griffith cried. It’s been previously established way back during the eclipse that when a person becomes a disciple they shed their last tear and it becomes a behelit, but Griffith cried. My theory here is that that’s just the moonlight child messing with his reality manipulation (this might also have been what allowed Rickert to slap him and guts to even do so much as to take a hair from his head)

rip miura. I'm so glad his friend and his team picked it up.

I can’t get enough of your berserk content. I watch the 21 hour video like 7 times lol

Can't believe I've listened to every one of your Berserk videos. Thanks so much for taking your time to make these videos. You are awesome man.

Here is my theory, Griffith still has immeasurable power, but being on the same mortal plane seems to set up the opportunity for Guts or Skull Knight to have the possibility of an even playing field. In order to defeat him, Guts will have to destroy Griffith's body, but more directly, the Moonlight Boy, thereby vanquishing Griffith at least from the mortal plane, destroying his dream. But he will have to choose between his own son and vengeance.

First rule of Berserk: It can ALWAYS get worse.

It took me 3 weeks but I just finished your mega video, time to catch all the way up! Thank you sincerely for all your hard work!

Just finished your 21 hour masterpiece this video couldn’t have come out at a more perfect time 😢❤️❤️❤️

Yes love these videos you do. Nice listening and hearing your take on the manga is really good. Thank you for all your hard work.

It's here. A new road, an old suffering.

Ur berserk content and content overall is goated. thanks for letting me experience this story again and again

Just want to say thanks for introducing me to this masterpiece came across your part one video a few months ago I’ve been hooked ever since

I feel an appreciation video is needed to everyone at the studio for the dedication and hard work. They have givin me life in a very glim time in my life. Like FUBAR levels.

Considering his life's work, it's probably appropriate his aorta ripped itself in half.

I love you man!!! Thanks for your effort, really appreciate every video so much.

I think the beast held off taking of guts when Griffith showed up because guts' rage at that point was more powerful than the beasts rage. We know the beast gives guts power in the form of unquenchable bloodlust and rage. But if guts' very own bloodlust was beyond even what the beast could do, then maybe it just literally couldn't grab hold of guts at that time. Either that or the beast wanted guts to fail so he could fall into this despair and make it easier to finally take guts over.

Ok so heres an interesting idea about rickert. What if skull knight saved him because due to cosality skull knight knows a weapon similar to his berserker armor is going to be made. What if rickert purpose is actually to reforge the dragonslayer once guts ends up breaking it. Because, ironically we know the sword is damamged to an extent theirbare cracks in the blade. So, what if it does break. Well if memory serves me right rickert studied under the person who made it so logically he's the only one able to fix it.

THis is awesome to see and add to the massive super cut, it might take a few years now but two mega cuts of berserk will be amazing to see.

You're one of the many reasons I like berserk. I look forward to these lengthy videos.

I am so happy i discovered your channel. Your content is amazing, and im happy to say your berserk manga covers got me back into reading manga.

Been waiting for a while. Thank you for providing, hope all is well Loli. Love from St. Lucia❤🇱🇨

13:13 soul of cinder theme fits this scene so well

That was a great experience. Especially in the live chat. Great stuff

the witcher 3 soundtrack is so damn good he included it in every berserk saga video 😤

Loli, you are an absolute goat I am having a bus trip from Riga to Prague in a week it will be exactly 24 hours. Cant fucking wait to re-watch the whole Berserk Saga with gorgeous (no) eastern european sights outside the window. Thank you for all your hard work!

Good man. You are truly doing almighty work.

Bro I love how you explain your videos honestly I can sit and do my work just listening your resumes please do one of vagabond like you did with berserk!!!

I watched this series in 6 days.. and i have to go to my office 6 days of the week.. thank you so much man, i cant tell you how important this way for me.. ive been trying to get into the series but reading kills me so i failed to go past black swordsman literally 6-10 times of trying it from the start in past few years. Again thanks a lot for the perfect narration ❤️

Great job man, thank you for the video.

Less than a month ago I had only ever seen scenes of beserk across pop culture (typically music video’s) blissfully unaware. I was watching one of your videos on a game (I can’t remember which) as I liked your breakdowns of games. & in that video you said something that struck me.. you mentioned beserk & said it’s your “favourite thing ever” I liked the way you put that as I have my own obsessions & could understand having such passion for something, but none the less I decided to check out your beserk series starting with the anime movies/series adaptation’s video. That was probably only a month ago & now I to am obsessed with this god damn story & every little aspect of it god damn.

It may just be me but does anyone else see a hint of sadness in Zodd's face when Griffith is welcomed home? It's hard to tell since he's still beastly, but I think he really is close to bailing on Falconia.

I dedicated the 21.5 hours to watch your analysis great work btw

God I love this channel keep it coming

The question of "why did Griffith bother to take casca?" bothered me. Was it just another way to make Guys despair? Maybe, but I think it's also another reason that some may haven't thought of. What if the Moonlight child is hindering Griffith in a way we don't understand yet so much that he decides to take Casca to him so that he won't keep disappearing on Full Moons

So much to think about. I've mentioned in a previous comment how I think Caska, Griffith, and Guts may be a sort of twist on the Karpman Drama Triangle, but something keeps popping into my head that may be an underlying theme or aesthetic to the Godhand, particularly Griffith, but maybe Guts and Skull Knight, too. I'm leaning towards the Seven Deadly sins, but they seem to be vague. Particularly for Griffith. I keep thinking that Griffith seems very childlike. Like, in general, his sin is that he never really grew up and just wanted to keep playing knights in the courtyard his whole life. But I think Miura did a good job at representing duality in characters too. Griffith is an ambitious, machiavellian prick, very willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants, but he also shows compassion for his subordinates, so much so that after his rebirth, he wanted to make sure that compassion was gone. Guts is pretty compassionless, never really having a childhood and was tough to crack when finding actual comradery. I still feel wrath and vengeance are up there as dark sides for him, but hatred may be better. Guts was out for blood with a purpose, but when he finally gets Caska back he makes mistakes that hurt her and he concedes and allows the new group into the party, largely as a way to hold himself accountable, but he also develops comraderie with them. He seems most consumed by hate, but steeled by his care for Caska. Skullknight might be better placed into pride or wrath. I feel the defining of the sins is a little more bibl-ey and not really exploring the full spectrum of sin and virtue that humans can experience. So, yea. Iunno, feels like an incomplete thought on my part, like I said, it just keeps popping up into my head. Especially when asked the question, why could Rickert strike Griffith? Rickert stopped to give him a chance on the hill of swords, granted, prior to knowing the whole story, but even after, he visits Griffith later for the slap heard 'round the world. It makes sense to me that Guts couldn't do much more than cut a single hair on Griffith because he hates Griffith. Demon + Hate kinda sounds like some Adam's Family/Hellraiser opposite interpretation shit. But Rickert. I wonder if Rickert still loves him, maybe even forgives him, but refuses to tolerate his shit. Maybe they're family. We don't know the origins of Griffith and Rickert yet. Maybe they got some Geiseric blood em. I mean, dude held the largest empire at one point. He probably got around so much that every day might be the birthday for 4 people directly descendant to him in some way (thinkin like Genghis Khan). Lol anyways. Yea, guess we'll see.

Im already addicted to your content

There were actually 7 chapters left of the Elf Island Chapter, not 6. It initially started as 6, but the team must have realised that they needed one extra chapter, so Elf Island ended with Chapter 371 and not 370. Also, I’m pretty sure that the Fantasia Arc as a whole isn’t over and that we’re just in a new part of the arc. The original message made it sound like Fantasia was ending, but I think they meant that the Elf Island Chapter of the Fantasia Arc was ending rather than both the Fantasia Arc and Elf Island Chapter were ending. It wouldn’t really make sense for Fantasia to be over as the physical and astral planes are still merged, so the world is still in the state of Fantasia. The Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc (an arc all about Griffith’s kingdom) didn’t end until Falconia appeared and Griffith had his kingdom. As for what’s left of Berserk, I think that this current part of the Fantasia Arc could end with a confrontation in Falconia and Guts and Casca’s reunion (hopefully in this time Casca is able to confront her trauma and finally be able to look at Guts and give him a great big hug). We could then have one final part of the Fantasia Arc which would be the final confrontation with Griffith and the God Hand.

Really enjoy your thoughts on berserk and you bring up interesting points.

I watched your entire 21 hour video as a week long bed time story. You do fantastic work man.

Thanks for doing this still brother

keep up the good work!

Great work!

This guy got me into the story lore and amazingness of this world

its always a good day when u post bro 😩

9:03 damn bro I must have missed this moment or not full realized it... What if Casca tries to pressure Griffith with this. Casca is alone with him right now an she just learned a very critical piece of information she has all the tools to utilize. Something I find super interesting is Casca had already lost her mind when she gave birth so she never had a moment to really be with the child an name him. The moonlight boy really doesn't have any name at all. I think if Casca give him a name an starts speaking to him when speaking to Griffith it could play a big role in things if the story goes that direction. Casca is a headstrong woman an I could see her trying to manipulate Griffith. Ive said this before elsewhere but I dont believe guts will be alive at the end of the story, It literally started with his birth an has followed all ages of his life, its only right it ends at the end. I think the key is what he leaves behind. Guts has always struggled with his purpose in life but at the end he might realize the moonlight boy which is a result of his struggle against destiny was his purpose. A spirit of good nature trapped inside a member of the godhand which could in turn break the cycle.

I think the beast held off because Zodd is Skull Knight’s beast. Whatever the beasts of inner darkness are, they’re attracted to the Godhand for some reason. The beast of darkness wants to consume and kill Guts and then go be some sort of apostle.

I just found about him a couple months ago Literally love the berserk story form your Perspective

I don’t know why people expected guts to live the rest of his days on the island. Guts is still destined to suffer FOR ALL ETERNITY! TRILLIONS AND TRILLION of years of suffering!! Stars will explode and die and guts will still be alive suffering! Guys NEEDS! To find a way to break the curse! He knows what he’s destined for if he doesn’t.

I gotta say, these berserk videos are truly fantastic. I was never an avid fan of Berserk early on and when i began a few years ago, i stopped during the pagen orgy, it was too much. Once i began watching your videos i began to beat myself up for stopping because it eventually got better. Last note, Skull Knight is the man. He's the type of dude that comes in clutch at the last minute. Like if your car was towed, Skull Knight would be the one to drive you to the repo and help you get your shit sorted out.

would be nice, albeit a bit too convenient, if those kushans were sent by rickert and the bakiraka to pick up guts and crew. I think the beast of darkness IS the sword. it came out of the sword in the last chapter, chains broken and all. the sword absorbs astral od with each kill and i think the beast is an extension of Guts' anger, his rage mixed with the od in the sword to create the beast. we've seen what spirits can do to living people, turn them into ghoulish creatures, that's what the sword is trying to do to Guts. the berserker armor turns guts into a raging maniac and the beast manifests, or tries to, each time because that's what the beast is as well. Guts will have to master the armor and tame the beast in his sword. to do that, he'll need to master his emotions and tame his own anger.

Kouji is the hero we never knew we needed

Imagine this, in kendo, it takes so much skills and experience to stop a shinai... but at 13:17, imagine a dragon sword, maybe 200-500lb, stopped from a full force swing, damn that strength, love you guts!

your berserk videos are the best!!

Anyone watching this compilation as their first watch of these chapters is either New or a Returner only after the comps. Either way! Welcome/Welcome back!

Great vid bro.😺

Getting his armour repaired before the shop changes locations.

Was pleasantly surprised when you used a Spec Ops: The Line ost

I was just pondering Berserk, the horrific tragedy of the story in its entirety. I came to the realization that it could easily go the route where Guts gets his personal vengeance on Griffith, and the whole world just crumbles into chaos and strife cause of it. Guts actions turn Griffith into a saint, Guts is further demonized by the regular folk for "unleashing demons on them" The last panel of Berserk may be Guts sitting down to rest in the dark, his friends together wherever they may be, and Guts finally going blind as he sits there and ponders his life. His vengeance satisfied and justified but with the world as its cost. He who wasn't meant to live depriving others of the safety Griffith was building everything towards. All in all, classic tragedy.

I'll check in with you next December. Hopefully this series has a definitive end by then

My therory for what’s happening next is they get captured by Kushans, but could be rescued by Silat, who could possibly join the party. I think this would be an awesome development, as he hates Griffith, and wants to restore honor to his clan. If, although less likely, Daiba comes along, he could also help ease the mage situation while Shreike deals with Guts, and could help mentor her as well. So much potential with the Kushan development. Now that I think about it, they’re both traveling with Rickert now, so it’s probably an even more of a possibility

The goat is back

In the most recent chapter, a bunch of faceless goons bust onto a ship with a guy losing himself to his inner demon within his magic armor. I think they're gonna die.

If only MAPPA could get thier hands on Berserk we might actually get the anime we deserve.

I kind of see Zodd's detachment of Griffith comes from him being disatisfied with how he's handling everything, the little trip to pick up Casca and focusing on the bakiraka now just might be the straw that broke the cammel's back. Now comes the tin foil hat: if he can overpower the beast of darkness and having partial control of the body of a Godhand, I somewhat want the moonlight child and Zodd to become allies, mostly because I really like the kid but also because that'd lead to the one thing Zodd could want, a fight with Guts.

Just finished the 21 hour video and excited to start this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Did I watch every part of this video when he uploaded it. Yes. Am I still going to watch this whole video, of course.

Berserk always makes me cry man, glad the studio is doing justice to the source material, clap clap

Berserk is the most raw,explicit anime that I've seen. It mixes realism and fantasy in the best way possible. It is in its own class of genre. I can read it over and over again and never get bored of it.

for what its worth, this guys a great narrator and I could watch this shit all day.

GUTS NEEDS THE ARMOR Although the beast of darkness is a manifestation of guts, its more like hollow ichigo in terms of power, where guts is using his rage in conjunction with the dark magical powers of the armor to win just like the mask. Its obvious that skull knight defeated some godhand members AFTER the armor consumed his flesh and he became a dark spirit inside the suit, so guts will most likely have to do the same, theres a handful of god hand members PLUS his high ranking apostles. At the end of the day, even IF guts mastered the beserker armor , got his body fixed, it doesn't mean anything when any god hand member can simply create a casca lookalike and he'll just collapse again. Unless Griffith turns casca into a apostle and he has no choice but to kill her, or sjull knoght takeshr away, how would he even fight at this point? I realy think its time he actuall ges berserk

it took me until now to realize the witcher music in the background of these vids. unsurprising how fitting it is.

I’ve ordered the entire hardback deluxe volumes because of you…trolling bastard.

I rate this video 9/11, would watch again

lets goooo!! love this series

The best dude with berserk content

Best berserk content channel rn

I feel like somehow griffith will be stripped of his power and kingdom, leading to guts finally forgiving griffith for everything hes done (or he might kill him)

Rodrick is such a bro to Guts, I love it

Yassssssssssssssss thank you for your service
