Ganiska was a well writen villain, the fact an apóstole tries to defy a member of the god hand was a very interesting arc

I think the reason why this character is so memorable to me. Is because of the art style every time I see him. It actually made him feel and look very demonic.

I think he is by far the most interesting apostle. The fact he was the only one to ever try and defy Griffith says a lot about his character.

Ganishka's is such a great character and villain. His ambitious drive is unparalleled and I think his thirst for power is probably the strongest out of any character in the series. Stitching apostles together as a tool for experiments, turning human fetuses to demon soldiers, turning himself into a god-like creature because he refuses to bow down to anyone. God, I love how badass and terrifyingly messed up this guy is.

Griffith once again achieved his ambition over the death of thousands. With his expert manipulation of Ganishka to being driven to drastic measures Shiva was born and annihilated the reasonable world. With the physical and spiritual realms becoming one his ultimate sovereignty over everything was solidified. The more "good" Griffith does the deeper his shadow grows.

I can respect Ganishka, it takes some serious stones to stand up to a God infinitely more powerful than you are and that you as a monster are literally wired to serve.

4:45 Look at the picture again. It's not the dragonslayer. It's Guts' raider-sword. He just left the hawks and the eclipse (and thus the dragonslayer) is yet to come.

To me, Ganishka was another Gaiserick in the sense of tryin to conquer the entire world in the Berserkverse the way the former king did in his time. The way he’s drawn as well as the artwork surrounding his chapters look amazing.

The art work is absolutely jaw dropping how it’s able to convey the absolute dominance and unbreakable will

I'm absolutely loving these Berserk videos, thank you. R.I.P Kentaro Miura.

Even though they have the least personal connection onscreen, Ganishka is a dark reflection of Guts: Both were the unfavourite children of their respective parental figures, who betrayed and attempted to kill them (and both killed their parental figures). Those hardships moulded them into the men they became today. Hell, Ganishka even had his own Casca and son in the form of his wife and son and to further the parallels, both defy the God Hands and the Idea of Evil. -Ganishka eventually gave in to his demons, sacrificed his son (and didn't care about his wife either) in order to achieve more power by becoming an apostle and defied the God Hand solely to become the new ruler. -Guts still clings to his humanity, cares about Casca and their child and defied the God Hand because is the right thing to do and to get revenge for what they did to Casca. -In short: If Guts gave in to the Beast of Darkness, Ganishka is the person he could have become.

Every page in this manga is masterpiece 🙏

Miura's art has always been incredible, but it skyrocketed during the Ganishka arc. One of the best pieces of storytelling I have ever seen. Also, I always found impressive how Ganishka seemed to succeed in opposing the God Hand, only for Femto to pull a UNO reverse card and essentially reveal they were letting him do his bidding merely because the Great Roar of the Astral World would've helped Griffith in establishing Falconia.

I just can't get over how amazing the idea of a man-made behelit is. That, in my opinion, is probably one of the coolest and craziest reveals in all of Berserk. I hope they touch on that concept again in a way to defeat Griffith. Like finding a loophole like Ganishka did

I don't think Ganishka was demented mentally I think he was literally reborn and was like a baby god with an infant mind

Honestly, military wise, Ganishka had the right idea. The nobility pooling themselves into what they assume is the safety of a ball room(A most flamboyant and laughable display in times of war) make for easy targets and, using demonic beasts to tear at their ranks really saves on the manpower and works both as a physical weapon as well as a moral one(imagine trying to keep your cool with nonnegotiable, no prisoner taking animals). Honestly, his strategy and invasion was sound. If not for Griffith and his fake band of the hawk, he would of won hands down.

Ganishka's grandfather was a hindu devotee of Lord Shiva. Ganishka embraced Buddhism his son was also a hindu as far as I know. Though many religions were patronised during his reign.

By far one of the top 3 most scariest villains. When he transformed into the beast of end. I shat

Just found out about this channel yesterday (youtube algorithm has finally given me something I actually wanted). Anyways, just wanna say thank you for making contents about Berserk. Despite being a masterpiece, it still isn't as famous as Shounen Jump's series' and finding quality Berserk content in yt is kinda hard. Kudos!

Dude is like the top badass indian inspired anime character in my book

Peshawar... That's my city... Also Ganesh is the Hindu mythological god depicted as an elephant so it makes sense Ganeshka gravitates more towards Hinduism than Buddhism.

I believe this arc really cemented the artist as the best manga artist ever

I think that we got so very little of him in the end made us savor his appearances more.

Griffith is just too OP...I wonder if he would ever be killed

Loving these berserk vids 🤙

Can’t believe animation studios have ignored this for years. It’s probably because no budget could do it justice

The way Ganishka is so easily dispatched by Femto in the end illustrates the vast difference in their power. The only reason Ganishka was able to achieve anything he did was because the God Hand wanted him to. I.e, causality.

Looks like the algorithm showed me your channel in the middle of a berserk span, coooool =]

2:28 kanishka was always a shaivaite all his scriptures says that

To think that this guy had a chance to beat Griffith if he actually was coherent enough to fight in that state. Would’ve been wild to see Griffith take a bit of damage at least.

Btw guys, been on a roll with watching your videos. Subbed AND liked every one thus far. You deserve it. I hope it elevates you all to have the ability to accomplish whatever it is you wish (even activate a crimson behelit?) ;)

I so want this to be animated 😫

Man this was both wild and the stuff of nightmares definitely an all time great villain for sure.

I’m south east Asian we share some influence with Indian culture but identify mainly with Eastern Asian I never knew ganishka was apart of Buddhism but I don’t know what it is Feels so malevolent and ominous with every panel that has to do with the kushans nothing struck me as hard as visually until this chapter Especially 4:28 the statues are the same gods and entities I see when I go to temple when my grandparents make food for monks Honestly it’s terrifying

Dude was badass from begin to end

Best manga ever conceived.

Griffith glows bright though he is a shadow. Guts darkens though he is a beacon of light. Ganishka is both and neither.

Really like this content.

This was a really cool video ! I’m 3 months late! I just discovered your channel and I really enjoy your content

can we also praise Miura causally making every page a masterwork? I swear the panels of this part of the manga are all astounding

One of my favorite arcs. Shame Miura spent so much time on the Pirates of the Caribbean arc such a waste of time.

Miura was smart man, the India/Ganishka empire, its actual India's History and mix of all religion and invasion and art came with them. but mostly indigenous hindu.

First time Guts meets Silaat he's not using Dragon Slayer, good video 👍

One of the godhand in Skull Knights memories looks like Ganishka. Is that him? Makes sense since he was a "king."

Berserk is a brutal and unforgiving world.

An Indian couple own the gas station next to me. The wife is great she’s really nice but the husband is really rude I don’t tell anyone but I call him ginishka

One of the best arcs in the manga

Love villain vs villain battles.

RIP Kentaro Miura.

Mr glorious bearded Ganishka was the strongest apostle so far, he could have easily killed Zodd. Plot saved Zodd basically xD On a serious note I really like Ganishkas character and his role to the story. He himself and his army brought a lot world building and way more interest to the story. But most interestingly, as the story progresses, the reader realises that Ganishka himself was the most important key to Griffith's succession to his new throne, only Ganishka himself did not realise. All this time he thought his efforts were legitimately defying the godhand but in fact was serving to Griffith interest without having to ever realise it.

4:42 bro, Guts did not have Dragonslayer at that time. He got it after the Eclipse.

He was one amazing villain and I simptized him because his mom poisoned him and made him the monster that he is today

💪🏽🐻

Absolute unit.

Well he doesn't know he was a sacrificial lamb But I guess Griffith get the last laugh.

33:59 "But what about you?" Ah, the ever so common sign that a video is over, and the signal to close the current tab.

20:16 lmao my dude just can’t catch a break

Lol that one group. You know i was doubtful about that black sword man. But uf we didn't invite him to that party wow that would have been bad. Lol 😆

This dude would make a Dark Eldar nod in approval

I'm in love of that arc, sad for him 😞

My favorite villain of the series

Ganishka may have been evil but he is somewhat understandable. I just wish his demons were shown as more of a threat, especially to apostles.

Griffith just straight up used cheat codes in their first fight.

So, if ganishka in his shiva form could rival the powers of a godhand memeber them and skull knight could destroy ganishka. Then does this mean that skull knight's power rival those of the god hand.

i remember reading somewhere speculation that casca may be part kushan because of her darker complexion relative to other people from midland.

Absolute mad lad 😂

As a Indian I love it

lmao the lazer is so useless if theres like 2 players with the railgun or one decent player XD

iirc,guts wasn't wielding the dragonslayer during his bout with salat, twas just a regular longsword.

29:36 Giggity

Guts and Zodd tandem is something i will never forget

The inspo for the erd tree

6:03 deadly plaaag.

Falcon of light no Griffith is a demon through and through no dought

Good script on this one, good reader as well. Only one small error and one iffy pronunciation. That's a big improvement from previous videos I've seen.

Silat is the sonic of Berserk. Guts is the Saitama.

Would be cool if we get more apostle that try to reject the god hands

hawk not falcon

Looked like godwyns physical body from elden ring. Like how his physical body remains, but his soul is gone

Shiva!!

"only in darkness can true light be seen"

Kushan Empire of king kanishka was one of the greatest Empires in India, kanishka rleven ruled most part of china it was said that there was a golden age at that time

Ganishka sounds like kanishka and kushan is an actual Empire 😅

-And wich part of his life is bothered you? -Yes

I always thought Ganishka was a pretty ass villain. This makes him a little bit better.

He was my favorite villain of the series.

Did they animate this arc? I don’t remember watching it

Sometimes I wonder if Ganeshka is a much greater evil than Griffith.

So the dude most afraid of making meaningful connections was turned into an interdemensional link point for the people of falconia.

Sad the manga won’t be the same

I would have liked it more if he was defiant to the end

I sometimes like to wonder what if Ganishka and Guts actually did work together.

16:57 Sorry Ganishka but the princess is in another castle.

I have a feeling Praetor Rykard from Elden Ring is based on Emperor Genishka.

Why why do people call Griffith the falcon of light when in the anime and Mangas he is called the Hawk Of Light

5:59 not again Bill Gates

4:45 silly goose, that's not dragonslayer

0:50 Ganishka look to Mark of Sacrifice on Guts... "So...That's what are you? Interesting... Your situation impressive me.... Anyone person who have the hate and fury sufficiently strong for defeat the fear and survive a lot time on many dark nights... deserve that I give to him my attention.. That hate and that madness is perfect for this blood-stained world... Im control the vastest and most expansive territory in this world! Im the supreme ruler of this world! The Great Emperor of Kushan Empire! King of Kings! The Shiva Incarnation! Anyone who opposes me will pay his life with his blood! I will receive the flight of the falcon with a rain of death and destruction! Do you want join to my army? Become you on my ally.... Come with me Beast of the Darkness... Come to my Demon Palace..." Guts: "HaHaHa! Is the first time I've met an apostle who are against the god hand".

this guy is nothing but a small factor in the Griffith's plan so he can rise again.

😅😅😅 his one evil wizard. Your going for a bath in that crazy thing we made..... madness 😆😅🤣 thats what his limit was .
