Hey, bros! Just a comment on the beherit/behelit matter: Beherit is the Syriac word Satan. ベヘリット (beheritto) is the original name in Japanese, wherein the letters "R" and "L" are interchangeable. All the best and happy new year!!!

So I just wanted to add something here. I'm like 99% sure you can't just hand someone your behelit and then poof its theirs. Pretty sure every single one is destined for a single person. And no matter where you leave it, where you lost it, or who you give it too. When its time, the behelit will be there for them to use at their lowest point of despair.

Guts doesn’t fear death. He fears that he might not kill Griffith BEFORE he dies.

I always thought that Guts could defy fate because he was born from a dead mother. He shouldn’t have been born but was, so he can go against fate because was born outside it.

If Guts activates it. It will be used as a portal to the God Hand. Guts is the exact opposite of Griffith, he would never sacrifice anyone. Guts becoming an apostle is out of the question.

Interesting theory and I could imagine Griffith actually thinking he could play the world like a chess set, Godhand included. But, the beauty will lie in how Guts would react to whatever Griffith throws his way. Guts has always been Griffith's uncontrollable chess piece. Even if Griffith does everything mentioned, Guts will probably find a way to defy him, still. Man vs god. fish vs river.

Guts will never use the behelit, he hates behelits, apostles, god hand, griffith more than anything. No way he would ever use that power and beg the god hand for strenght to become like those monsters. Unless he uses the behelit in some way to power up the dragonslayer like skull knight.

If the behelit is actually guts this means we haven't yet seen him at his lowest point which is scary to think about xd

If Guts uses the Behelit I think it would undermine the entire theme of the story. Which is perseverence in defiance of Fate.

Griffith's Crimson Behelit wasn't transferred to him, it was always going to end up with him, the old woman that gave it to him was just fated to be there to hand it over. And the stone itself doesn't have much power, it is just a key that grants the fated wielded an audience with the Godhand. Unlike the mark of sacrifice, behelits do not attract dark energy or apostles. Which is why so many of them are just casually hanging around until that fated moment is meant to occur. What's interesting is that sometimes, especially for important events, there seems to be a special moment (usually recognized in hindsight) where the acquisition is meant to happen, and other times it is just random. For example the Egg of the Perfect World received his behelit just when he was about to be crushed by the weight of the decaying bodies being thrown on him. It just showed up there. Griffith's crimson behelit got a special moment where it was given to him, but when it it was time to be activated at the eclipse it just showed up out of nowhere. So you could say it violates causality in some ways, but then it *is* causality in a larger sense. They are kind of like the ultimate grandfather paradox, in that the universe (or Idea of Evil) just sets it up in a way where it gets people and things to be where they need to be, to ensure the fated path of events happens. Sometimes it pretty logic ways, but then in other it just creates shortcuts. I think that is why the apostles after their ascension pretty much get to do whatever they want, and the Godhand don't really bother them, because when the times comes they will do what needs to done regardless of their desire to do it. Like chess pieces on a board.

If guts activated it he will probably merge with his armour, incredibly op and incredibly unstable. Truly berserk

Take a shot every time he says "Behereet"

Guts and Casca exist outside of Causality. Kind of the point why their sacrificial brands are constantly dragging in enemies to kill them, each moment of their existence goes against causality.

I think Guts will be the first example of a Behelit activating and being rejected . Plus it could happen sooner than we think, Guts right now is pretty low and may be overwhelmed with fear when he lost casca again.

It’s interesting that Griffith was saved from an arrow using a behelit (object) and everyone saw it, while Guts was saved from an arrow by chitch (life), however no one saw it.

I highly doubt he was afraid of death I think he was afraid of not being able to get his revenge/save Griffith and protect Casca anymore.

The problem with your theory is in the manga I've only ever seen that the behelit's end up where they're destined to be, at the exact moment they're needed. But the Slug count does offer the more feasible idea that any betchy can be used by anyone, and it's dark magic inevitably leads the bearer down a dark road by influencing them and others close by. I like this idea that "causality" isn't Fate, it merely masquerades as inevitable, and anyone who refused to sacrifice simply ended up dead or irrelevant/insane so to all outside observer's it seems that they must not have been destined to use it it's like saying everything dies, you can't disprove it because you would have to die in order to refute it if you came back to life well then you're not dead yet.

I think that if guts were to use the behelit, his apostle form would be his beast of darkness

I wonder if the Behelit actually belongs to the Dragonslayer? In japanese culture swords have souls and seeing as Gutz is the only one who wielded the Dragonslayer, the fear of losing Gutz could activate the Behelit.

Maybe it's just me, but it always felt to me like Guts didnt give much thought to the behelit, or that he may be used through causality as a vehicle for it. I thought Guts thought that it was the Counts behelit and since he's dead, the behelit is now an impotent relic.

I always thought of the behelits being very similar to skull knight. Not really pursuing anything or headed in a certain direction, but just getting strung along by time and fate for eternity. I never thought skull knight was traveling with a goal in mind, just that he wants to kill void whenever he seems them, or not searching for people to save, he just wants to save people when he runs into them

The only person who knows what is happening currently is Skull Knight, nobody else...should look at him more as the main protagonist in the next few arcs, I personally hope the story is not dragged too long maybe for another year or 2 max...and also dont rush it such that guts becomes saitama or goku overnight

I loved that ending. With the theory about how the landscape changes depending what they are thinking. That was crazy. Great job dude

Everyone: oh its Guts', oh its Casca's Me an intellectual: The behelit is meant for Puck 🗿

This was really interesting. A lot to think about. I feel Guts is more likely to be consumed by the armor than use the Behelit but it would be cool to see if he's tempted to use it.

I support this take. Only that he'd find a way to summon them with it, and why each person's experience looks the way it does.

I think its not entirely impossible that Guts might sacrifice Griffith, nothing has said the god hand cant be sacrificed but what is said is that you have to sacrifice someone you have strong emotional connection with. Guts may not love Griffith but he definitely has an emotional connection to him. This might be the only way Guts can kill Griffith but have moon boy live as they are two separate souls in the same body.

I prefer the Behelit pronunciation. Also Skull Knight’s Behelit sword is red, not blue.

Since guts is already branded he can activate the behelit and sacrifice dragon slayer, he could get the God hand to powers up dragon slayer because of all the apostles he killed, basically gives him the ability to cut through space and causality, therefore he can kill the God hand members

what? whos to say that the giving over of a behelit isnt part of causality itself? I do not believe that it would 'transfer owner ship'. like it says quite literally in the manga, is the person who is holding onto it the intended user, or are they just holding onto it unless it slips from their possession and finds its way to the person who it is meant for

i dont belive a exchange manipulates the ownership of a behelit. i think the trade is a causality created by the behelit to find his owner.

You can't "transfer ownership" of a behelit. Every single one is destined for just one person. That's the whole point with Guts's behelit where they keep wondering if the behelit is his (as is if it was "assigned" to be his) or if its destined to be someone else's and he's just holding on to it. No transferring ownership there.

Literally the only KZfaqr I’ve ever heard bring up the behelit. It felt like everyone else doing commentary on berserk forgot about that key piece guts still Carries.

Can we finally see it activate ? What will Guts do?

I love though how guts is rage snaps him out of every other emotion at certain points which is also why I believe it makes his berserker armor even more powerful than he probably should be..

I honestly feel like this is super spot on. Holy crap! It all lines up! Very nice work!

By the way... What happens with a Behelit after the eclipse? Is it "consumed" by it or what happens? Because if it is consumed, then it means that all the Behelits the Skullknight swallowed didnt fullfill their destiny as they became part of his sword... I am really curious what this Skullknight Behelit interaction is all about.

This just made Griffith a way more interesting villain than he already is...

Here my theory: If we look back at the egg of the perfect world it sacrificed the world ( no really ig) but a sacrifice mark was shown on the ground. What I'm thinking is if guts ever uses it his gonna sacrifice his blade, his blade murdered countless apostles maybe it developed some consciousness or somethin idk I'm outs.

I really do believe this Behelit might get activated by Guts, with how low he is getting in 370. I don't think he will use it in any of near future chapters, but I think it will play a role of some kind in the future considering Guts still has it among his other items.

Guts’s behelit is the key for him to turn the table. Guts being sacrificed already, branded, and surviving puts him in a different league as any other of the apostles when using it. I believe that he will be affected différently also thanks to the berserker armor, and his position will be linked to causality, as like skull knight, he’s shown that he is the antithesis of the god hand, and like SK will be able to harness it’s power to different end.

I wonder what Guts apostle form would be, obviously it’s going to be a hell hound/Wolf like abomination- but, would he be like Zod? Or some abstract grotesque like apostle, similar to The Count?

I really do hope we get to see what happens with that behelit, whether guts is truly the one its destined for or if he's going to find out the one who is along the way.

You did it a-fucking-gain bro great breakdown on the deeper meanings behind everything as always.

I always wondered, was the old fortune teller actually Ubik? Or was that just him messing with the memory

I don't think Griffith wants to torture Casca, at least directly, as that would be too simple. I'm certain he plans to weaponize her multifaceted feelings towards himself -- devotional, romantic, parental (as disgusting as it is), forcing her to face an impossible choice between the two. By doing so, Griffith wants to make it seem like he's literally everything to her, while Guts doesn't matter and never mattered in the first place. Which is has a full potential to destroy Guts emotionally.

Sooo, were at chapter 371, Guts is in actual despair, he is going over memories of his sword after it failed him, something you could call an essential part of him his whole life (conceptually, because I know Dragonslayer was made well into his adulthood). A vortex has appeared right by the ship pulling it down just before cutting to Griffith. There's a panel of Guts sinking naked into an abyss, very similar to a certain panel of Griffith during the Eclipse... Although now he knows he has no chance of defeating the godhand. I'm sure there will be intense temptation to sacrifice this dependence on the sword/his strength somehow. Guts cares about his friends, but there's a sense of distance and they're not a chore part of his identity, so I don't think they would even be eligible sacrifices. I think Guts will be severely tempted to make a sacrifice of some sort to become strong enough to defeat the Godhand and rescue Casca. Do I think he'll do it? Not at all. But it will be a huge turning point in the story.

talking about gut's place being a hellfire scape made me imagine them doing a recreation of the campfire of dreams scene, with guts on top of a hill with the behelit, and then the campfires starting lighting up under him one by one until it becomes a forest fire that surrounds everything but his hill that reminds on the dark

Another great video man keep it up this theory is very plausible

I'm surprised that Void and the Godhand don't seem to be wise to Griffith's machinations.

Wow it definitely never occurred to me that Griffith might be planning to overthrow the Godhand and even the idea of evil itself, but it really does make a lot of sense. We’ve never seen him bond with them in any sort of way, meaning they aren’t his “friends” nor do they fit his definition of a friend; an equal. And I really don’t think Griffith is at all satisfied with Falconia and being the messiah king of the humans. That was the dream but G is all ambition and there’s just no way he can be content and live stagnant, and besides, he’s clearly planning something, whatever it is, he’s certainly been making some of the grandest causality plays imaginable for any human or Apostle. His machinations seem to be the biggest single influence on the

I hope Kouji Mori knows the mind of Kentaro Miura very well. It’s amazing that we will get an end to the story.

You don't have to be at deaths door, you just have to reach a moment of despair unlike any other.

In my dumbed down head cannon fantasy, if Guts ever uses the behelit, his sacrifice would be the beast of darkness, aka his true inner self. Yes the most care he shows is for casca but it’s his true inner self that he clings to. His entire life he’s clung to the sword fueled by that darkness inside of him, which has kept him alive, it is the one thing be ultimately relies upon. If upon activation he could not chose Casca as a sacrifice even if he wanted to, one since she’s already marked, and also the casca he is in love with is long gone, even after the fantasia arc. The only thing Guts has to sacrifice is what truly has been his reason to live, and that’s the dark fighting spirit within him. And who knows, if that’s how it is then maybe a “happy” ending is plausible, Guts relinquishing his beast and a chance to live in peace, maybe even with casca eventually. But this is berserk, Guts and happy endings don’t seem to go together.

REALLY like the part of Grifith wanting to tale over the God Hand which we know is possible since the god hand facing Skullhead back in time was completemy different (except vois who was already there)

Fantastic video I loved hearing your theory on Griffith manipulating everyone. I think guts will eventually lose control and give in, maybe not now but if Griffith keeps it up there won’t be a choice. Looking forward to more content!

I found mine at the lowest point in a drought-stricken riverbed in the Kern River of all places! We brought our friend, and he auspiciously suggested we stick our hands down in the riverbed, under large boulders, to see if we can find treasures. I was astounded when I found a small egg shaped stone with bizarre faces on it. I immediately went to my wife and said these words, "I found it. The egg of the conqueror." She just casually replied, "Oh good!" hahaha.

bro really sound like "🤓🤓"

Hearing “beherret” is like nails on a chalkboard lmao.

Damn, this is more than I expect, well done

Would like to point out humans that are not branded are part of the course of causality. People that are branded and demons have ultimate free-will and are given blind spots to causalities rules.

From what I've heard, one interpretation is that the Berserker Armor is Guts' "equivalent" to the Behelit - a counterpart - offering great power at a cost, but the cost is to HIMSELF instead of others

He'll activate it and sacrifice Casca for the final showdown 😈 I hope I'm not right

Um excuse you, Becchi is PUCK’s behelit! His favorite food is cheese!

The idea about Griffiths intentions makes sense, even Guts said, now that Griffith has achieved his dream, he will pursue even bigger goals, as he can not stop

Dunno if it can be activated again. And not sure if it really still belongs to someone. The behelit is from some guy who died already. Only maybe if behelits switch owners after the last owner dies.

I think something similar should happen, in the last chapter, Guts, despaired so much that his only power, his sword, could not somehow harm Griffith, that he sank into himself on the ship, that a whirlpool began under their ship

Slan is called by skull knight "princess of the uterine sea". I think someone has to birth behelits into existence and the fact that skull knight can prime them could only mean the godhand can use them too as they will.

Very nice analysis, I really didnt think much about the depth of the Behelit or Griffith when I have watched and read it

for the record the cannon pronunciation seems to be "Bay-Lit" the Beherit thing is because japanese doesnt use L sounds.

Or Imagine, that Griffith wants Guts on his side again. He gives guts the opportunity to be his even. So he can call him a friend again.

I liked how you identified each use of the behelit with their user. Like how the count was confused, and how the eclipse had a confusing environment. It got me thinking if maybe they enter the idea of the user itself. As the idea of evil is in the realm of ideas, so deep into the astral world, that only ideas can be manifested. Like how the idea of Guts would be like hell itself. Idk, just a cool thought.

I'm surprised Guts couldn't scratch Griffith with the DragonSlayer. He wounded Slan with it. Griffith may be the strongest of the God Hand. The strongest apostles are Grunbeld, Zodd, Locus, Irvine and Rakshas. Skull Knight is a level below God Hand as he has been deflected by Griffth/Femto & Void. Skull Knight is on even terms with Zodd, they frequently fight to a draw. Guts can kill many apostles without Berserk Armor. With the armor, he is almost even with the strongest apostles. Guts needs a power up to deal with the God Hand and the Idea of Evil. Possible powerups could be: letting the Black Armor devour him, sacrificing to the beherit, both, following the path of Skull Knight and acquiring a beherit sword. I think he would still need something better to defeat the God Hand. So maybe even scratch the beherit and the armor and look for something better.

This was a great watch and I was super invested but lord have mercy if you didn’t absolutely *murder* the word behelit lol

Isn't it pronounced BE HELL IT

3:17 Wow, good job! I never put 2 and 2 together that *THAT* fortune teller is the one who gifted Griffith the Crimson Behelit. I wonder if Puck saw it when he was traveling with that troupe?

Gotta say, this theory def has weight. Great job my dude, got me questioning everything now 👍👍👍

I wonder, can guts sacrifice himself?. More specified a part of him that's important since he is already a sacrifice from a different summon of the God hand. It could be interesting to see him sacreficing himself to get a power up. That Will give a reason why skull knight: Save guts after geting the mark of sacrifice Didnt kill the count. So guts could inherit the beherit (like in Harry Potter. If You kill the owner or disarm him, the Magic wand it's now yours) (My English is not good sorry)

Saying “beherret” feels like saying noodles as nooders

Schierke's mistress already confirmed that the Behelit that Guts has on him isn't his. It belongs to someone else entirely. And all Behelits are destined for one person and one person only. That's why the fortune teller gave Griffith the Crimson Behelit, since she knew that Griffith was going to become the fifth member of the new Godhand. As for why the Behelit began transforming back into a face when Slan appeared, that's because a powerful Apostle was nearby ( a Godhand member ).

Great theories and video!!

I feel like guts unlike others won’t sacrifice his family and comrades but himself to save them giving him greater power then Griffith ever has.

What if the Behelit can summon the Elemental Kings instead of the God Hand? Like he chooses self sacrifice over sacrificing others and it ends up in an entirely different ritual.

Plot twist Guts uses it to sacrifice Griffith.

the last part about the location of using the behelit of count being in a staircase maze and griffith with bunch of faces on the ground, thats something ive never noticed.

YOU FOOLS!!! Guts will never use the Behelit, he would only activate it and then deny sacrificing whoever it is he should or would supposed to. Throughout the story Guts and Griffith have always been opposites of each other, Griffith being a false idol and Guts being an Ubermensch. Their is no way in hell that Guts wouldn't activate the Behelit because it would be a perfect time/opportunity to contrast him to Griffith.

I feel like it doesn't matter who "owns" it, it will end up in the hands of who is meant to use it at the appointed time.

When I think about it, the Guts+ Behelith is accurate representation of trauma... When you see the person or similar people, or even similar behaviour "your behelith will almost form face"to basically showcase, how much you are damaged, by the trauma... And let me tell you... I don't know with one is worst, being betrayed by spose or betrayed by community or both... But this much is pretty it , this is the feeling... Just something small and if it is not healed or it is relatively new, it can sent you to despair... Cool one... I didn't realise it before... Really nice 🙂.

I just thought of something... What if, and bear with me... What if he is forced to use it against Griffith, by using it to sacrifice his son since they exist in the same vessel?

My not so good theory: I believe there is a high possibility Guts uses his behelit to fight Griffith and possibly the God hand. 1st Reasoning: Guts is in a point of utter defeat. Was humiliated by Griffith's beyond strength/capability. What guts witnessed on elfhelm after casca got her conscious back. The joy and happiness guts saw from a distance of casca enjoying her life with guts' gang. He would use the behelit to sacrifice what he holds most dear.. his dragon slayer sword... so casca would be able to live a life of enjoyment. Sacrifice Reasoning: A bit far fetched of guts using his behelit and sacrificing his sword but is it not a possibility? The time he wasnt by his sword during his stay at Godo's cave when he came back for casca... after not sleeping for days if not weeks but yet still was unable to sleep without his sword by his side. Continuing 1st Reasoning: Casca is unable to live a life with guts without the "PTSD". Guts knows this. I believe he's going to turn himself what he hates most so he could potentially kill the person he hates most. Making it the ultimate sacrifice...if that makes sense :/ Please reply if you have any questions with my not so good theory. Its a lot more clear in my head than what I'm typing down :/

Great video! I've been wondering about the Sword of Actuation recently. Are thos Bhelit's still active? If so can the sword itself be used for a sacrifice? Would the power of the hypothetical Apostle created from the sword be as powerful as a God Hand member? Just a thought. Also if Guts were to make a sacrifice, it could possibly be The Moonlight Boy..in essence he'd be using Griffith as a sacrifice since Griffith is at this point a dual spirit. Which would be odd because Griffith is also Femto. Just a possible crazy twist I've speculated on.

The devil doesn't get to decide where he is defeated.

To activate a Behelit you have to sacrifice what you care about the most. For Guts, that's Cazca.

guts is going kiss griffith

i think everyone has forgot about the fact that guts already has the brand of sacrifice and so does casca. correct me if im wrong, but that was the first time a branded person, whos supposedly doomed to be sacrificed, would escape the so called eclipse due to skull knight saving both of them. im not really making a theory or speculating but wouldn't the outcome be different if Guts activated his behelit because hes branded? I understand Flora has done magic to sort of temporarily manipulate the brand which i think is also somewhat overlooked by other events. Let me know what you think

I think being in the darkest realm in midland amongst the pains of trolls and other poor cave critters is why the bayright activated its my opinion and I definitely appreciate how in depth you went with your thoughts

i love the theory that in order to kill griffith, guts needs to get rid of his own monsterosity in him including the berzerker armor. after all, it was stated that to kill a monster you need to become one, but to kill a god, you need to be a man.

Why do you keep calling it a beherit

Forgot he even had it until I saw the title of the vid

This analysis was amazing
