Who doesn't love the 'Dragonslayer'? It's such an iconic 'sword'.

Please keep this same narrator for all the Berserk videos. He has the best voice

I love how Corkus gave Gutts the hardest time, but the apostle that killed him was the first one Gutts bodied!!

Man, the Dragon Slayer is so simple but so beautiful

Never would’ve expected a video on Guts’ sword but I’m glad y’all did. That sword is just as iconic as the one who wields it plus how cool it’s design is. It matches Guts so well.

Best part is that huge hunk of iron was basically a joke weapon in the context of the story. Godot really had a good sense of humor... and apparently foresight and practicality after Ganishka and Griffith made certain Dragons really existed.

I'm surprised you never mentioned Shierke. She noticed a faint spiritual power emanating from the Dragon Slayer. I believe there is much more to it than we realize.

Personally I think Guts just 'missed' because of the space manipulation we see the Godhand, such as Femto and Void, possess. Why Rickard could slap him probably comes from the fact that either Grithith was caught by surprise that one of his own could castigate him, a god on Earth, or because he actually wished for someone to rebuke him on some level.

I follow a KZfaqr that forged a real Dragon Slayer from a literal slab of steel. Nobody, not even Mark Henry, is swinging around that ungodly 400 pounds of pure awesomeness!

Gutz: I want stronger enemies Causality: So it shall be

Dragon slayer is one of the best swords in anime and manga

U guys have been killing it lately!! Between the Batman/DC and Beserk videos u have made my drives to and from work interesting.

I think what really Made guts sword an iconic design is that, it is just a Giant sword. No elaborate design, no magic, no crazy backstory, just a Sharp iron on a stick

Now that marvelous videos did the dragon slayer sword now they need to do the berserk armor

I think a lot of the appeal of Dragonslayer was that it was made as a FU to the one King who requested it. Almost impractical for anyone but Gutz to handle and while it’s started as a plain iron slab it’s acquired magical properties simply because of all the apostles and ether creatures it’s butchered. Many like it in other works, but for me even more than Clouds Buster sword, this is what comes to mind first when I think “ultimate badass giant sword”.

I love the dragon slayer. The fact it sounds like a car crash whenever it hits something makes it so much cooler!

great video as always! i'm surprised a Casca origins video hasn't been done yet

I assume this where the artist for Cloud from FF7 got the idea from! And off the top of my head I like that katana from Yu Yu Hakasho that shot out man eating spirits,

the interesting aspect of Dragon Slayer in my view was how simple the design despite it's the "hero weapon", no aesthetic detail nor gimmick, it's like grunt weapon Guts found on the floor (literally my first impression), also in world full of human and demon with crazy power, Guts just need an indestructible weapon that giving him no supernatural power just gravity in nutshell, he can survive

Rickert confirmed to be more powerful than Dragon Slayer.

a chuck of raw iron that sounds like cast iron pans clanging together

Now y'all should do one about best weapons in anime

My opinion is dragonslayer is 1 of the most iconic sword in anime and manga through history of anime and manga

Love that you guys love Berserk

Hope we get Balzac soon. And maybe the plant creatures from Sword Of the Berserk soon

Great video although Slan wasn’t at all wounded by the Dragonslayer when Guts impaled the troll guts she possessed. He just destroyed a physical avatar she happened to temporarily possess as her true form cannot be in the physical world so she made an avatar out of what was in the area where Guts was at. Also as much as I enjoy the running gag and meme of Rickert slapping Griffith seemingly making him able to “harm” a Godhand. That just isn’t the case. Griffith had no actual harm done to him and chose to be struck. Just as he did when Julius struck him and he just smiled and was courteous about it. He also has to keep up appearances in front of everyone else. Him doing anything to Rickert wouldn’t be seen as malevolent or him appearing to be a righteous leader. Also Guts did end up cutting a strand of Griffith’s hair because of the Moon Child but that will play an even bigger role in the climax of the story

Dragon Slayer,,,, its simple built, made by simple material,,,iron, its,,,simply,,,,, amazing.

Without DragonSlayer, there’s no Buster Sword

Nice vid bro! 💪 🗿

It’s all I use in every souls game. So much fun being Berserk

Someone actually tried to create a scale version of the Dragon Slayer in real life, and it came out to around 350 lbs. Also, when it hit something, it really made the "clang" sound from the much-maligned 3D anime (something that I never understood the hate for). This was also true for the much smaller Golden Age sword, which bordered on being wieldable and weighed around 45 lbs (albeit much thinner and more practical than the manga version). It also made the clang sound.

Sharpened to the edge of madness is a great line

This video claims he doesn't use the sword as much as his crossbow or cannon but they straight up forget he has a crossbow later on in the manga and he uses the sword more than both combined

2:06 Well I'm sure glad the actual gore is blurred out, because if it wasn't I'd be able to tell that man's being chopped in half or something and I'd be bloody offended.

I wish there was some place we could go an push to have the authors have more help on projects. Sucks he died making an before finishing the best Manga ever created. Hell dude making the worst dying is a monumental tragedy.

The worse nightmare was when he lost his chad jawline in the cgi continuation. 😂 not even the same guy. Replaced by some frail skinny guy

Ooo this was a great video! But now I’m curious, does Griffith’s sword mean anything? It’s not as noticeable as Guts, but when it’s was broken BY Guts, I felt it was not only Guts disarming him, but it was a reflection of Griffith himself. Broken. If Dragon Slayer ever broke, or..more precisely..if Femto ever breaks the Dragon Slayer..😰I think it would be unfortunate poetry on Femto’s part, as he would’ve broken Guts and literally had taken everything from him. Or Femto could just “take” the Dragon Slayer and give it Zodd 😂 Edit: thinking more on that..why didn’t Griffith destroy the Dragon Slayer when he became Femto? If he really wanted to get back at Guts during the eclipse, breaking Casca AND his sword would’ve definitely sent a more powerful message imo. There’s nothing stating that it CANT be destroyed. Especially by a Godhand. Just because it was said that it can harm in an astral level, that doesn’t mean it increases the durability of the DS. Both situations on their own is already too much, but together, it would’ve been the end for Guts, for at least awhile. Even with the SK saving him and Casca I’m actually surprised life hasn’t crapped on Guts in a way that when he went to swing at Femto, his sword didn’t shatter at the mere attempt to harm a physical Godhand. Imagine his sword breaking and Femto taking Casca all in one swoop😨

Nice video 👍 I teach the proper form of how to swing guts’ dragonslayer

I truly hope that Berserk never gets completed, it's at a bitter sweet point at the moment. For what this story has been, you can't expect a happy ending. What the characters have gotten right now is already far better than I had expected.

Wicked video and guts is still awesome for all warriors!!! 🤙⚔🤘👊✊🔥

You beautiful son of a queen. I fkn love the explanation of the slap.

imagine a game called berserk wich comes in chapters. you get the full story driven game and any futur mangas are added as dlcs from start to finish in zelda nintendo style but more cold look

Wait a minute, are you saying that Guts has to merge w/ the black beast?

Guts...the pinnacle of manliness

Honestly I think the reason Rickert was able to bitch slap Femto is because Femto either didn't expect it or simply let him.

*Martin Robbins biggest iron starts playing *

The use of dragon slayer sounds similar to Inuyasha barely being able to swing the tessaiga to some degree. When he could, it was devastating, especially with the wind scar.

best sword in anime in the real world just a pice of iron

What about cloud strife's sword from final fantasy 7?

I like how you sa go-dawg instead of godo

Great video, no complaints, and I'm sure it's just an overlooked line... but man calling Gambino _borderline_ abusive made me cackle just a bit

His golden age sword is somewhat realistic but I feel like surviving the eclipse granted him some super power similar to captain America or masters chief

0:07 Thats what slan said 😏

Gut’s Dragon Slayer > Cloud’s Buster Sword

Gut's Dragonslayer is the original Big Sword Energy in magna/anime lol

Nobody: Guts": Do you like my sword sword yep my dragon sword sword you cannot afford Ford"

Huge mistake at 04:55, the estimated weight of Gut's sword is not around 150 pounds, but kilograms, so over 300 pounds. Somebody even made it to specifications for real, there is video on making the sword. There is no human in this reality that can even lift that sword, as a sword should be lifted. In this reality, you need a forklift. If it was only 150 pounds, than maybe some strongman could hold it as a sword, but not wield it.

So that's why. It's his unforgivnes that holds hi back

THE Great Sword.

Dude, I’m gonna be so pissed if I fucking die before this series ends

1:52 I am not sure if that was proven if Guts knew which Apostle killed Corkus, he was dead by the time he got to his location

Yeah because it's actually heavy like how a big sword should be

It deffinitly influenced the original buster sword design

Heres the most true replication of Dragonslayer, everyone else who has made a Dragonslayer did their best to scale it down to something kinda sorta realistic and they end up around 100lbs. This sword weighs 324lbs!! Heres the 4 min timelapse and the 4 hour full build videos. 4 Min timelapse kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptWKmduTqtyzgac.html 4.5 hour full build video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbKRhJOm38nJp30.html

So, if Dragonslayer is able to do all that after being bathed in the malice of a thousand demons... then could Doomguy just walk into Hell like fucking Kenshiro in the first "fight" in FotNS?

I just wanna see him cut griffith 😅 that's all we care about The day guts and the dragonslayer finally takes out griffith in a mighty swing, will be one of the most historic days in all of fiction

RIP Antonio Anoki

I thought he used the sword more than other weapons? Or were you just talking about chapter 1?

He is kinda like Ash from evil dead

Don’t forget about cloud from ff7

The final battle in beserk should be maybe against a Demon Lord Dragon that use griffit as a sacrifice and gut will kill it and even lose his leg in the process finally ending with him living in peace yet proba aly dooming him to hell when he dies

Metal pipe sound

With the dimensions of that sword and the average weight of steel it would weigh around 400 lbs

“Can cut armoured men and godhand members in half” Man I wish… :(

"Borderline abusive" when referring to how Gambino treated him. Borderline? BORDERLINE?

He have been swinging one handed for a while. Imagine if he have to hands.

i heard it... i know it hasn't failed Gut's... until now...

Possibility he can "reproduce"

Thats what she said

I love THE DRAGON SALYER

hawk hawk hawk hawk band of the hawk... Right?? am I crazy? not falcon... whats happening?! GRIIIIIFIIIIITH!!!

Rectangular steak frying pan....

Why does this one sound like a pan slammed over concrete

Newer estimates make dragon slayer closer to 250lbs

Ok I'm not going to say I'm 100% sure. But using my knowledge and experience with steel. Assuming it's not an extremely hard alloy. I'm going to ball park Dragon Slayer at 150 lbs. That's a conservative estimate just assuming it is almost a literally hunk of wrought-iron. Not steel or an alloy it could be easily over 300 lbs but I can tell by the time period it isn't a grade 8 steel.

Zabuza got no love in this vid

The dragonslayer is made of nanostructured steel and is more than x1000 stronger than iron. It is indeed a heap of soul crushing steel 😂

honestly, while i loved dragon slayer, i preferred the thousand limb more.

You know? For just Iron, this slabs of Iran surpass the durability of Iron.

What happened to his eye?

Where my fellow clang lovers at!?!?

Go-doe not Go-dot

Did you really say plaag? And not plague? Broskiiiii.....

Its more then 100 to 200 its like 600lbs

If it had been the Demon Slayer it would have been funny haha

Cloud

4:47 not 150-200 pounds but kilogram

Lol I mean cloud was the first, but ok 🤷🏽‍♂️

sword is 200 pounds (90kg), so Guts can swing me like nothing

If the dragonslayer were real it would be way heavier than 150lbs, haha c'mon guy
