We'll most likely never know how the story ends, but we should be grateful for how much impact Berserk has had on our lives, and will always have. A last thank you and farewell master, rest in peace Kentarō Miura

I love how popular berserk has become in the last few years

Rest In Peace Miura-San, thank you for the struggle!

Nobody: 7 year old me playing outside with a stick

God, Forces is just too good and so timeless as well.

I'm still mad that most of the original band of the hawk are dead. They trusted Griffith. I remember jumping into this anime knowing nothing and having my mind blown by the end. Thanks to that, this is the first manga I've ever started reading.

I remember listening to the Piano version of the song on repeat as background music whenever I read the manga. I've read Berserk many times over but it had been a while since I heard it, so I decided to come back here, and I can't even begin to describe the emotions I'm feeling right now. This manga meant the world to me, and that will never change. Rest in Peace, Kentaro Miura.

Kentaro Miura 1966-2021 Rest in peace Miura-san, and thank you for giving us this masterpiece. Stay strong Strugglers.

what will it take to bring down the reign of godhand? how will griffith be stopped in his rise to power? will guts and casca have their happy ending? who is the mysterious skull knight? find out on the next episode of Berserk but I will always tolerate waiting for patience, my friends is often time worth the reward

I listen to this while I play Dark Souls, Chivalry, and For Honor.

I don't want this song to play in the new anime. At all. Period. Until the final battle with Griffith.

I love the backgrounds used for the songs

"He died doing what he wanted, no matter what, right? I bet he was happy." RIP Kentaro Miura

This is the best thing to listen to while reading the manga. Just put it on repeat in the background and youre good to go.

I don't normally get into anime, but this is undeniably fucking awesome.

I listen to this before I went to bed, now I haven't slept in weeks

Something about Berserk just transcends labels such as manga or anime.

You could have Forces as the only song in the series, and it would have a perfect soundtrack. Like, sad scene? Forces. Action scene? Forces. The Eclipse? Forces.

Rest in power Kentaro Miura. You were a legend among legends. I will never forget you. I will fight and struggle until the day I die.

When you meet your god... TELL HIM TO LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!

Rest In Peace Miura we all know that the best always leave first…

Griffith disliked the video.

I usually pop this video on and just listen to the different versions of forces while I play Dark Souls :D

Rest in Peace Legend

Listing to this, makes me want to grab a greatsword and ride a horse into battle while screaming Griffith.

The mood people thought 2020 would have: 1:56 The mood 2020 really has: 5:52

Forces II is the best version in my opinion ! epic

I will forever idolize the archetype that is Guts, I can only wish to be a struggler just like him, uncompromising, uncaring about the odds, someone who would rather die than lose their honor, in the face of overwhelming odds.

Thank you so much for uploading this track & the remixes. I like that you added ver 1.5

idk if this a unpopular in popular opinion, but forces 2 is easily my favourite

Would be a sin to dislike this video

I remember watching the 1997 adaption of Berserk when I was like 10 and I had no idea what was going on

Just came here following the latest news - The Struggler will go on to do what he does best!

People say they fell in love with Berserk because of the dark fantasy atmosphere, or the characters, or the bloody as f*ck battles. But for me...the music just sold me into it so much. Susumu Hirasawa just feels godlike or ethereal or transcendent whenever I hear his music. And none say that better than his songs for Berserk. Honestly, the first time I heard "Forces", I was legit like, "Yeah... I'm gonna love this a lot."

Piano version at 8.13 is really a masterpiece made out of a masterpiece, thanks for sharing

Great compilation thxs!

1. I didn't know that Forces had a Prototype. 2. It really gives off a marching song vibe.

So good. and perfect timing with this one. It couldn't have been better.

Rest in peace Guts, your long journey is ended.. =(

RIP Kentaro Miura.

I listen to this too much, like every day multiple time and like rewind to certain versions of forces. During school while doing work, while I fall asleep...

Susumu Hirasawa people. Captured the sound of Miuras BERSERK 🌹

I just beat the Nameless King to the first song on this compilation! Thank you for putting this up!

I watching berserk because of FORCES. and find berserk is so addictive.but the 2016 anime is so disappointed..:(

Omg the first song-Forces! I feel like I'm moving into battle myself. This is so amazing and Berserk is overall, one of the best and memorable tv shows I've ever watched.

I love that lil' Puck there.

Wanted some music while I read the manga, and this is fucking perfect.

Hopefully this doesn't get taken down like all the rest :(

if anyone simply wants some more forces there is a metal-ish version on soundcloud by modern weapons....

BERSERK IS BACK!!!

thanks man 🙌🏽

I wanted to make a similar video some years ago, but was immediately taken down due to copyright claims. Glad you made it!

Forces II is my favorite

Masterful 🔥

Good God these songs are beautiful.

rest in peace Miura, and thank you for everything.

any time Susumu Hirasawa is attached to anything you know it is quality.

the moment i saw you linked a pic download. i liked and subbed

I love them all!!! The forces song on their trailer is what got me into this anime series in the first place!! I even bought the original soundtrack from Ebay years ago, and I'm pleasantly surprised to know that there are other versions as well!! I totally dig the one at 15:47 called 1.5!! I will be hunting that mp3 down!!

Returning after 7 years to get my Forces fix in& finding new versions added. Just what I needed! & While I am a year late to KZfaq to post this anywhere.. I'll add my respects to the Multitudes:- RIP Kentaro Miura Sensei. Your impact on the World will be remembered.

I have seen the anime several times. The fascination is just too great. Berserk has had me under its spell for a long time. Anyone who has seen this anime will understand it immediately. Thanks for the Upload.

what will it take to bring down the reign of godhand? how will griffith be stopped in his rise to power? will guts and casca have their happy ending? who is the mysterious skull knight? find out on the next episode of Berserk? Perhaps Never....

The struggle continues brothers beserk has returned

I just started watching berserk and it's already one of my favorite animes it's awesome

"I had a dream that on nights with a full moon, I become an infant, and feel the embrace of a familiar warmth. But, as I wake from that dream, only a faint feeling of loneliness remains... and that too takes but a moment to disappear. Like a single teardrop, like the morning dew." “While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds, even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and die by their dreams. But long after they have been abandoned they still smolder deep in men’s hearts. Some see nothing more than life and death. They are dead, for they have no dreams.” "You’re right, we are mortal and fragile. But even if we are tortured or wounded, we’ll fight to survive. You should feel the pain we feel and understand. I am the messenger that will deliver you to that pain and understanding." “Throughout my life, the moments, and people who have defined me… they have all been illuminated by sparks.” “Look, look around carefully. Strain your eyes. At the darkness around us… At the darkness… around me. You said, “anywhere but here”. This is where. Here at the border. Gathered by the winds. Those who’ve met their final destiny hanging between jealousy and regret. Those who failed, swept together here. You say “It doesn’t matter where”. If you follow me, this is where you’ll go! This is your Eden! You run from it. It is no Eden. If you follow me… to this place… the entire world… is a battlefield." “No matter how strong, for a human to fight a monster means he has submerged his humanity and transformed himself into a greater monster.” “Hate is a place, where a man who can’t stand sadness goes.” those who dedicate their lives to another inevitably shed their own blood those who sacrifice themselves for hopeless love cannot help but shed tears hopes and dreams death and despair by accepting and believing will they find the reason to continue? why is it a man strives to reach the sun? why is it he craves the thunder of applause? dreams ambition love hope in this world could the glories of a youthful heart be forbidden? lest one loses a precious thing he will never know its true value a little light finally scratches the darkness it lets the exhausted one face his shattered dream and realize his path cannot be walked can man live happily without embracing his wounded heart? The story has begun while they are entwined by strings spun by fate a boy cries out and a girl feels "I want you, for the one I care about..." a young man who has fought for survival with his sword embarks on his journey where will destiny take him? the story has begun again re-entwined by strings spun by fate a man lashes out a woman cowers in fear "I love you, for what I wanted most..." a fight for survival with only sword in hand, a familiar path followed again as the journey continues where shall destiny take them next?

AMAZING

Man I could just keep listening to this it's that good 😘

Ressurection of iconic old animes..

I loved this song ever since first hearing it in the Mount and Blade mod for Berserk!

That piano version is fire. (8:12)

A masterpiece

Some are peaceful. Others Are Full Of Energy! ALL ARE GREAT!!!

1 OF JULY HYPE! LETS GO BAND OF THE HAWK, LET US ENJOY BERSERK ONCE AGAIN Behelits arent allowed to the party!!!

9:15 Now there's something I hopefully want to see. The Black Hound vs. The White Hawk

Forces II is probably my favorite. Of course that might be because the Dreamcast game is what got me into the series, but I also just love how much darker sounding it is than the original.

this song is such a fuckin banger i can never get over it. theres just something about the synth or whatever that goes so hard, and the vocals make me feel like goin into battle.

From 1989 to 1997 to 2016 & Now it’s 2020. 😭 so much time has passed.

AAAYOOOOO IS BACK OSHIT

That Piano version! Holy shit that is so god damn good!

The original one is when the Band of the Hawk is on the verge of winning Forces II is when Guts is fighting Zodd on the hill of swords The piano version would fit during the scenes at Falconia Take the wheel is for when the Band of the hawk is walking to the battle field Forces 1.5 would play during the final battle against Ganishka, when the humans learn the existence of the apostles The god hand remix would play as Guts become the Black swordman and start his quest

RIP Miura

very nice voice amazing

I love all version of, FORCES. But damn, the piano version really does grab the soul and make you listen.

Hell fucking yeah. I've already heard all of these songs but having them in a complete playlist is nice.

Surprised this hasn't crossed 1 million views by now.

The first version of the song I heard, and my fave to this day is Forces 2. The sega dreamcast was my introduction to both Berserk and Jojo ^_^. So my first adventure with Guts was the dreamcast game, so I was excited whenI heard about the Anime. Im not ashamed to say that when I was younger the Anime actually ticked me off. I was going by the game and the first volume of the manga and, from my perspectice, the Anime felt like alot of unneeded backstory. After reasing more Manga and watching it again when I was older the Anime worked alot better, but I was still bummed that we didn't get to see guts the BLACK SWORDSMAN who fought demons get animated. Then the newer Anime came out, and im in the minority that freaking loved it. Sure it had problems but I was just happy to see Dragon Slayer carve up foes again. But my best memory is the fact that the FIRST WORDS i heard Guts say is the phrase. "I Doubt it Punk."

Rest In Peace, Sensei Miura. We shall continue to Struggle to the bitter end

At the grand Berserk exhibition in Osaka, FORCES is playing continually. It suits at Berserk exhibition very much.

Oh Forces... if there is a song that brings you the courage to take action in life, thats Forces... breaths masculinity , for both men and the part of a women that is ruled by the masculine psyche (the yang part of the women) , these song is a war cry for determination and fearlessness as we need to control what it lies before us , adversity and pain should be fought with the same force of a sword being swung around by a kid who doesnt know the meaning of retreat even when hes sorrounded by beasts.

original and degitx version will be always be lit!!

the struggle is eternal we are like Guts now

Berserk is a Kentaro Miura Sensei truly masterpiece, I Love This manga Very Much...

15:10 holy crap guts looks freakin epic

The best is Forces 1997 😍

Interesting finding out that the "Berserk Forces Collection" album was released the day after I was born lol and to this day forces is still such a banger

This is pure art.

the first one is just unbeatable

This is absolutely one of my favourite videos to return to every few months or so. Work on my own writing to it: check! Game to it: check! Contemplate how amazing Berserk is: check!

I'm crying and dancing at the same time
