I’m glad he’s achieved virtually everything he’s ever wanted. It will make the despair of losing all of it so much sweeter. If he thought never achieving his dreams was soul crushing just wait till he experiences losing it all

"He was the first one to touch guts without getting gutted for it "😂😂😂

Griffith gave one of the most horrific betrayals in anime history. He sacrificed the very folks who made it possible for him to get as far as he did. He made it clear from the very start that this was who he is and always will be. He gave clear signs that he was never going to change nor was he going to stop pursuing his kingdom no matter who it was he had to step over to get it. Also it was believed that Ubik was the one who gave Griffith his Behelit when he was younger under the disguise of that old fortune teller woman. Just a theory but it makes sense imo.

I just realized that the concept of Griffiths dream applies to real life aswel.The bigger your dream is the more you may have to sacrifice in order to obtain it.

If anyone says Griffinth did nothing wrong, not only are you wrong. You’re an apostle!

My oldest brother’s favorite manga and movies are berserk. We’re estranged from him now for about 5 years and after hearing the name of the creator, I now know where the inspiration of my name comes from. I’m definitely crying because he only ever told me he got my name from a Japanese character and now I know the truth. He wasn’t always the best big brother but he named after someone who he probably held in such high regard. I miss him so much. I wish things were better.

Griffith definitely did consider Guts & Casca friends, he even cared about all the band of the hawk in his own way. Otherwise he wouldn't have been able to use them as sacrifices.

Rickert is a straight badass for slapping Femto

Yes yes and yes this guy is one of the most iconic villains in manga history ! I can’t thank you enough for this video.

This story is not gonna end anytime soon. Someone is gonna have to defeat Griffith and all his demons and Apostles, also the god hand. That will take years

I like how you've given a better example on how to summarize a series unbeknownst to a person new to the arc on explaining these characters to a T you get a 10 outta 10 buddy 👍🏾

Man 30+ years of this. Im 31 myself so i cant imagine having to wait like everyone else had to with these coming out.

Griffin is to cut off from his emotions so when Guts left him he's self destructed and blamed Guts.

It’s unsettling how gorgeous and evil he is😂

Ironically Griffith who was once side of heroes due being guts former friend and comrade to side of evil by choice he is not only one of the most evil character but also one of the darkest and most vile and depraved villain in manga history

Fun fact about the Manga: There are several depictions of the forms of testicles, phalluses, breasts and vaginas that are included in the bodily makeup of many the more grotesque Apostles and in the Interstice dimension. Mouths, tentacles, horns, landscapes, crevices, pillars, etc. Very Giger-esque.

When this series ends, the only way that I see it ending properly is guts, killing Griffin, along with his son, the Moonlight boy, which is Casca son.

I think Griffith/Famto took Casca because he knows that the Demon Child's presents in his body won't allow him to harm her. He doesn't want someone that he can't harm working against him, so he will likely imprison her.

I have never questioned my disdain for Griffith. I can't understood those who have sympathy for him. My support for him is so little that I was even rooting for The Dread Emperor during the Millennium Falcon arc

Griffith is the only manga villain that doesn’t die

When Griffith sees the future he could have with casca right before the eclipse, the child isn't griffith's son, it's guts and casca's child. she was already pregnant by then. Also, I don't think griffith could have a child after all the torture he's been through.

Im glad i watched this video. I thought to myself at first. I already know all about griffith but you brought up things i was at most suspicious of and pointed out things i didnt previously catch

Good work. More berserk content is needed !

The more I learn about Griffith the more he seems empty. Like a shell that's just moving forward he absolutely radiates. Charismatic psychopath I can articulate it that well. But we've all came across or known somebody like him. Maybe not as together and successful, but that emptiness. That when you dig deep seems to be there and the void only can be filled with power. He is a complete control freak when he said I always get what I want no matter what. That immediately made me think twice. He has a I won't be denied personality type.

I feel like the only way to defeat griffith at this point is by destroying his dream with truth.

Great content Cory, really impressive synopses and detective work. I have a theory on how Griffith obtains royal blood and it's all to do with Caska and Guts baby. What if Guts is the direct descendant of skull knight. Skull knight knows Guts was born from a corps and he has a keen affection towards him etc... Guts is basically an incarnation of skull knight and would have gone on to become a warrior king if not for the band of the falcon sacrifice. I think when griffith forced himself onto Caska and corrupted Guts seed he came into possession of the royal blood he needed to ascend, plus Griffith was always attracted to Guts seeing something in him that he needed. Or i could be wrong lol, but it would be a really neat way tie the package up and keep the lore of Causality true even with Guts being "a fish out of water or against the stream" (i forget which way its said) in that the 216 year cycle has given time to create the five fingers of the God hand but the skull knight/Guts part of fate only existed at the creation and inevitable destruction of the flow of Causality from the ego god in the Abyss. I've noticed that the writer is heavily influenced by the Christian religion so it makes sense that Satan (ego) is only defeated by the Father (God or the magic elements) through his Son (Guts) the immaculate conception and the being who rose from death (sacrifice) through the power of the holy spirit (skull knight). Anyway I'd like to chat more about this with you as I'm interested in your thoughts, please hit me up with a response. Kind regards, Rob

Griffith: Thank you for the praise and video :3 He didn’t listen to a word of the video 😓

Nice video and really it covered a lot about Griffith. Although the IoE is canon otherwise Miura wouldn’t state that its chapters gave away too much information to the story that was too early to show to the audience. Another thing I have to look into is the claim that Griffith is a descendant of King Gaiseric which is news to me and can be something overlooked. I would have to reread the manga and the IoE chapters to put it all together. Granted Miura made the manga so sophisticated and complex that many new things pop up noticed by fans it’s difficult to say if everything is actually covered or known about it

I think Griffith did care about Guts. It crushed him to lose him like that. His friend statement didnt apply to Guts.

You really said it great. When he lost Griffith's self destruction began.

Wow I was supposed to suggest you make a video on this character in your last berserk video😂🤙🏽

That, too, will soon dissapear with a single tear like morning dew...

Griffith was in love with Guts

Great vid, you did the good job of refining a huge lot of information. I see Berserk in metaphors; like personas and archetypes in collective unconsciousness - philosophy of some sort. On our hands we have Ideas, also prevalent in real world or representations of them. Symbols that kinda explain certain subjects, actions, thoughts or concepts. For example: giving onself fully or partially to Shadow(not desirable and claimed Bad/Evil traits or deeds in society) to gain some kind of power. Fuck(sorry), this is real fundamental literature, that contains huge knowledge if you can extract it and present to others. My English is not so great as I would like it to, I have a lot more to say... Honeslty I'd put Miura's work on the one shelf with authors like Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Nietshe, Jung and others, renowned for their study of human soul.

I feel like Griffith one of the villains we all love to hate He's a character we despise so much but can't deny that he's a perfect antagonist for the main hero. One of the first and most iconic "bro gone bad" that arguably influenced a lot of other animes/mangas. I feel like in order to take Griffith down Guts would have to somehow sacrifice himself along the way🙏 because taking somebody who's that powerful can't be easy lol. And I don't think Guts has the heart to kill Moonlight boy, his own son, either, so it would be reasonable if Guts could somehow switch the connection Griffith has with Moonlight boy onto himself and then kill himself to kill Griffith.

Griffith is one of those villains ya love to hate. That is a good villain right there!

Griffith did do everything wrong heck even if Guts didn’t leave something else would of happened instead like one of his men (Corkus) would of done something stupid while Guts would be in recovery after the fight, the king would still torture him after making an example of Corkus

I like Griffith as a multi layered complicated villain. In some ways, I pity him a little. After all he's done, even to "help" people, I agree with others that all he's worked up to will come crumbling down. I can't see anything good coming out from becoming part of the God Hand. All those who admire him, worship him, or love him, I'm curious about their reactions when the truth comes out.

See while I know Griffith is one evil bastard, I can’t help but pity him. He struggled so much in his life only to be toyed with by supernatural beings and when he was at his lowest possible point and essentially a broken man to the core even to the point he couldn’t even kill himself effectively. Again this isn’t me trying to justify or make excuses for Griffith, he is a horrible person and has committed horrible atrocities, but you can’t help but pity a being that was too weak to live and die as a human and had to take shortcuts to get what he wanted and the expense of those who genuinely cared about him.

One of the many ways guts beat Griffith is he somehow becomes one punch man and goes beyond the god hand or he somehow goes back in time and removes Griffith before he joins the god hand I guess

Thank You For Understanding Griffith. Sooooo many people, KZfaqrs included, paint him as some simple villain who raped Casca. They ignore the human that he was, and, his tragic decent into deprivity after losing Guts. They fail to understand that Griffith is someone who wont stop at just a Kingdom. He wont settle for being just a simple member of the God Hand. His goal is to soar higher. But, sins always come back to bite you, in the end. Beautiful villain. Beauty tale.

Bro this manga is just so good!!!

Griffith is a guy with noble and good intentions but after what he went through and what he has done he is a monster plain and simple.

You know something guys that Griffith is really a pain in the ass

It's so jarring when you are listening to a video and then the narrator goes on a TDS rant and literally says "Drump is literally worse than the Birdman HITLOR!". ... dude your job is to give brief summaries of actual talented Artists work! No one cares about your lukewarm mainstream political opinions!

Great video

this is by far THE best channel for Berserk themes and questions/etc. The quality of the philosophy inquired, the absraction of themes and characters... i haven't seen it anywhere near as good as Marvelous Videos. Definitely subbed and liked every video I watched.

Man I love your videos but please don't mix your bad ass videos with politics there's many other examples to use

If anyone likes Griffith after what he did they’re fucked. End of story. Even if he hadn’t assaulted casca, he betrayed his friends and comrades which is the ultimate sin

Literally love your Berserk content, keep up the good work!

I really feel that Griffith's speech to the princess was just BS to make him seem above others and Guts misunderstood. I think he really knew he couldn't make it this far without Guts help. All this broke apart because they didn't just talk like they should have. Griffith himself lead to his down fall. I say this because I never hear anyone say that. Who else thinks this way? Am I alone on this?

… so are we just ignoring that Griffith is totally in love with Guts ?

This is an awesome analysis

What was the point bringing up trump? Random asf

Was Damm enjoying a this Brserk stuff as a break from the news and gotta hear 45 get run down 😮‍💨 while 46 had nearly run the county into the ground.

The art for the thumbnail is why I clicked....also my hate/love for Griffith.

Best and most hated villain ever!

Femto is awesome don’t know how anyone can hate him

Good video series but too bad that we wont get "official" answers to so many of the Manga's questions. That and I'm never going to adjust to "band of the falcon" vs "band of the hawk", just kinda stuck on that old translation.

Hated? Most of us actually like griffith. Welll... pre eclipse anyways.

Great video, wouldn’t suggest going into politics though because that’s how you lose views/subs. Keep it at the topic, but dope work!

Imagine comparing Trump to Griffith. Yeah... that was pretty cringe..

I fkn love Berserk!!!! I have tattoos of it! Keep all this wonderful stuff up!!! I love these videos

While Donald was in power we respected u, now with Biden we lough at u

The TDS that crept into this video was bizarre.

Most hated? Griffith is my favorite character wtf

hmmm4_4 aim-sacrifice-take....struggle-cope-continue...like a cube and ball Goood show kinda nice

That trump line was so out of place lol

I wonder what would have happened if Griffith had said no to the God Hand? What are those things on Femto's hips? Just some weird part of his...armor?

Nice video but was the TDS at the end really necessary? Lost a lot of respect right there.

My favorite fictional character of all time.

999'th upvote here. ;>

Actually griffith is an angel in berserk's cannonology

Holy shit golden age movies need to be expanded like another hour each

That would be great the 5 god hand are sacrificed to summon their god lol

As much as i love your videos but you ae overusing the "slide" sound 01:13 can you please decrease the use of it?

Griffith: The only people whom I consider an equal is those who chase their dreams and does not depend on others. Guts: Okay then, I will work harder on my sword fighting skills to match up with yours, defeat you and leave the Band of the Hawk to pursue my own dreams. Griffith: No wait, it's not supposed to be that! Guts: Hol' up, this whole operation was your whole idea.

Wasn't Griffith based on some scraped concept that Miura had for Berserk where Guts was some rouge mercenary that saved some girl that looked very similarly to Griffith from a monster?

Interesting. I wanna get into Berserk but that's gonna be a lot of reading lol

I mean, he's no savior but President Trump was right about quite a few things lol. Kind of jarring thing to put in the video though.

Griffith did anything for his dream

I only know the name “Band of the Hawk” from the anime… Is it Falcon instead of Hawk in the manga?

Is it just me or wasn't it always the band of the hawk? and after he did the dirty he became the falcon?

I just love the contrast between Guts' and Griffith's designs. Guts looks like a villain but is actually a good man that has been hurt and suffers alone. Whereas Griffith looks angelic and pure but is a master manipulator and only uses people to get what he wants. I also find it funny how even while Griffith was having sex with Princess Charlotte, all he could think about was Guts.

Griffith is certainly not King Gaeserics son. I thought you were joking at first. Where did you get that idea from? I’ve never read or heard that EVER.

The Band of the Hawk owed their lives to Griffith, he eas just collecting a debt.

Griffith was in love with Guts in my opinion.

We will never get the true ending since the creator died. 😢

I think the best person to show Sonya the real Fempto, is Schierke. Who else would she trust outside of the new Band?

Guts is the mystery royal baby.

Best villan he reminds me of Barrak Obama same thing

EXCELLENT RESEARCH ALSO

Griffith is the darkest antagonist, not the most evil. All he went through to achieve greatness is understandable.

Idc what he did I feel bad for griffith

I thought it was the band of the hawk is the correct translation band of the falcon? is that why its called falcon??

lowkey even if casca was the love of my life aka (guts) i still woulda left her crazy ass to kill the godhand fuck im wasting time on a damn women who can barely function. not to mention when she was healed she was still afraid of guts! also i never really liked casca hate her.i just thought of her as a obstacle in guts way to kill the godhand holding him back smh.

26:50 Oh god please no, just let him be a gifted boy that happens to be of common birth, that was in the right place at the right time, not the descendant of the only continent wide emperor mankind has seen

I was looking for Big Chungus’s name giver

I never understood how Griffin is a God hand since his wish and the thing he agree to was never fulfill since Guts and Casca wasnt actually sacrifice so idk if this is a loop whole will see later

What is this thumbnail. That looks nothing like Femto
