I still can’t believe it

Touché.

How so

Soccer Stuff you can also say that there is black and white through the ironic representation of Guts as a "dark" good and Griffith as a "light" evil

nope, berserk is GRAY, are one of the asshole who says Griffith is bad and guts its good?

How is guts...Good? explain that shit to me please, because guts its as bad if not worse that grifftith ever was until the eclipse happened.

And that's why I love about it. It's not the typical unilateral critic but one that it is much more objective and coherent. As it applies to real life where people would find anything to deposit their hipocrisy and fear of responsability, religion or not.

Found you Bro! :)

Hence the line ''mankind has no control, even over his own will''

Yes. It doesn't denounce the teaching of the church in berserk. If anything it confirms the in lore church's beliefs. But we watch the corruption of man even within the church like IRL. I connect to this as a Catholic more as a lesser critique. But a much needed one.

E.M.P. 339 As another fellow Catholic, I really love how in Berserk everyone sees the same mystical beings with different names and lore. Like when Schierke summoned the four cardinal spirits of protection and she informed the priest of Enoch that they were the “four guardian angels” in his religion (which would be archangels). It’s refreshing to see that the narrative isn’t a “your belief system is wrong and only mine is right” but rather, “all our beliefs systems hold truth despite their differences.”

Hari Shraavan that’s true when it comes to me, I should change that

There's a reason for the expression thank God

jonas falcon, do we thank God with the same seriousness as when we are praying to escape a difficult situation? And a lot of people usually thank God for escaping problems, not for expressing genuine gratitude. It's like he said in the video, "faith is too less".

Hipocrism? Don't you mean hipocrisy?

Hari Shraavan you don't some people do

What about 1997?

1997 is worthy.

that's Jesus

Berserk Manga: God Berserk 1997: Jesus Berserk 2016/17: Satan

DustyO'Rusty What about the movies? Saints?

That's what happens when you have creativity.

Don’t compare berserk to it Two different themes with very different stories

Hit That I mean the novel a song of ice and fire not the trash d&d made

@@10packspyscho11 I adore Berserk but saying it's beyond ASoIaF is a bit of a stretch. From a writer's perspective, ASoIaF's cast of characters, its increasingly interwoven and expanding narrative, and its handling of politics and culture is a shade more complex than Berserk's narrative in terms of the number of pieces on the board and characterization.

They had both same theme questioning the nature of god itself

>My take-away from Berserk is it seems to be "Anti-Passive" since those who do nothing most often seem to die. (Not to say "doing something = you live" but the people who try to survive/succeed seem to be those with the drive for it) >I think I agree with this. Not only for the troll/village reason I gave in the video, but because of the opposite scenario with regards to Guts' struggle. He has many flaws but among them is not his agency and perserverence. Passivity is treated as pretty damn negative in the series.

Casca is incoherent post eclipse, yet even in this state she actively reaches for her child when ever he appears, even then I feel alot of care is put into Casca to show her while not understanding things her action's (when she does them like when ever the child shows up) is done from the perspective of a new born, like when it comes to food or wanting to play with the fairy's n golems she does take action, she does what she wants for instant gratification, hope this explains my understanding of her.

Casca put her faith in Griffiths, and was betrayed so horribly it broke her. She's not completely gone, but she is mostly unable to act for herself. Another point about what Berserk's stance on religion (which might have been mentioned in the video) is that blind worship of something is often a terrible thing, due to chance of being deceived. The devil worshipers with the goat mask, the corruption of the supposed good guys who turn out to be the equivalent of the Spanish Inquisition on LSD and Steroids, who are corrupted and used by the very evils they purport to fight, the blind worship of Griffiths as a coming savior regardless of whether they know if he's going to be a good ruler. Berserk ties its stance on religion to a stance on the value of free will vs passivity.

MasterofMistakes Maybe Miura's aversion to passivity stems from the Japanese mindset "Shikata Ga Nai" or grin and bear it. Think of all the people who suffered after the dropping of atomic bombs, yet still blindly supported the Emperor. This rejection probably inspired Barefoot Gen, pacifism over passivity.

Yes. The east have much more reason to hate passivity than anyone else.

Soccer Stuff And I do hope you looked at the depth behind the surface of all the groups you pointed out to come to your views on them >.>

Soccer Stuff Yeah, basically. Just paraphrasing the original quote.

Bismark and KZfaq ad revenue doesn’t make cents anymore

loyalswordsman *cough* Adam and Eve *cough*

loyalswordsman There's so many versions though that it could just be someone's personal take on what god is as you can see through all the variations on Christianity and other types of religions. That said, your take on it sounds good and responsible

You are actually right Many people mocks religion because of the fake idea of "hey bro relax you can rape 20 children and then burn a church with 20 puppies and 20 orphans inside and you still go to heaven if you just ask for forgivness" but it doesn't work that way

Soccer Stuff I would not say its the bible itself that said it but rather implied. For example why would Jesus still beg for forgiveness for what he seen as sinful people back then? Julio Pinedo I dont know if there is a god or not. But what I see of the story of jesus makes the most sense to me. Rather hes really gods son or just a normal guy. I do believe in that philosophy on humans that we may not be perfect beings but we are not completely selfish.

+Francisco Voria Exactly you need to actually try to stop and change, asking forgiveness means nothing if you are not willing to learn from your mistakes.

nah you're just avoiding the question

der das Not true. If there was no suffering in this world and everything was perfect, what would be the point of heaven? Evil must exist for good to exist.

Very surprised at the responses. What, personally, have any of the responders done to combat evil in the world?

@@DoomRater Just watch the band of the Hawk. It's my favourite Arc but they were bloody bastards that did nothing but escalate in rank and kill even more people in their greedy paths; therefore they are without excuse. They got what they deserved.

@@JTomas96 After reading what my original comment was, I have no clue what you are referring to. Are you saying those who were sacrificed were evil? Also, I wasn't talking about any fictional characters in my response, I was directly addressing CynicalManchild's charge to mankind asking why we allow people to suffer. You do not need a God in order to derive that suffering can be minimized. So to hammer that point in, what do you, personally, do to combat evil? Here's an example: I hate bugs. So I file issues with people's code when possible, and attempt to fix and file pull requests when necessary.

AnimetalViking Yes! Thank you!

Marvi .D. Smilodon Marvi .D. Smilodon when you become so anti-religious that you completely deny the possibility of any inherent good in religion/the existence of a higher power, you're no better than what you oppose ideologically. People worship ideas and as said by Alex, these ideas can be used to justify terrible actions.

Western atheists are like western feminists and extremists. SHoving their ideals in your face at every opportune moment, as if you give a shit.

Contempt Man i mean the same could be said about many religious people that I've met.

Marvi .D. Smilodon That lack of belief is a strong belief itself.

Benevolent spirits, evil demons, etc. I thought it was a pretty overt point and it just would've been a footnote, so I left that out.

@@Aleczandxr you left out how Miura juxtaposes dogmatic religion with Flora, Karma, the astral plane, and spirituality Miura shows these beliefs in a positive light and uses them to build the basis of his entire world. The God Hand is an inhabitant of said world, not it’s creator. Leaving that out of a video on the religious aspects of Berserk is Cherry Picking. Farnese leaves her fanatical religion but ends up learning about true spirituality and even learning to astral project. Flora literally states your karma is what effects where you go upon death, and after her death she even still contacts people in the physical realm to help Guts. Pucks whole character is about belief, and how without it you can’t even see him. This video barely scratches the surface and omits the most important elements of the story pertaining to the topic…

Yeah, although removed from the Volume releases, it is still hinted at in certain moments throughout the series. Like when Flora goes in to detail about the Astral Realm.

Theres an article where he explains he makes it up as he goes and bases alot of things off of world events but the story is very japanese in itself. I think it decided to retcon the idea of evil because he came up with a better idea for the story. It does limit the story. It retroactively makes all characters choices passive. If a character dies, causality If a character gets raped, causality. If a character wins, causality. Its so passive, it becomes borings. I think miura understood that.

Good video by the way. Its always fun hearing your opinion.

+Kenneth Forman Everything is in the flow of causality.

Bormin Clase see. Thats boring if thats the answer. Its so vague it can mean anything. But vague enough for a video. ;) wink wink nudge nudge

That’s fantastic to hear, thanks for the kind words!

I know this comment was written a long time ago but I want to know how Berserk helped you in your personal faith.

@@jaymariepomales5113 Wow, in retrospect this comment looks really cheesy. But basically I was fed a pretty fundamentalist understanding of Christianity by my grandmother. I never burned anyone at the stake, but my view of God was extremely fear based and hateful towards others. As I grew up I went from believing that interpretation completely to resenting my faith completely. That being said, I still believed in God. I was just terrified of and angry at him. But the belief was there. Weirdly enough, Farnese's storyline among other elements in Berserk helped me sort out parts of my relationship with my faith. Again, it seems silly, but it really helped me work through some stuff.

​@@Snowfoxie1do you still fear God?

@@alphastriker5799Not most of the time. There’s still some old, deep anxieties that surface from time to time, but overall I now see God as a loving parent rather than a vengeful entity.

I did think of bringing up more examples of both "bad" and "good" uses of religion but ultimately thought it redundant since the entire series is full of examples of Miura being neutral on it.

That kind of defeats the purpose of faith though. The whole point of it is that it is supposed to be a core element of your being, something you carry with you and act upon. If your faith doesn't play that role, and is just a passive accessory, then how is it supposed to transform you as faith claims to seek to do? Although, this does bring up an interesting idea. What is the purpose of faith in Berserk? Is it to get people to change, to live for the better? Or does it serve some other purpose? I've never read the manga and don't plan to in the near future, so I don't know if the church in Berserk ever elaborated on its beliefs, but if it hasn't, I wonder what they are?

Faith and belief literally fuel self-perpetuating deities.

You're confusing "faith" for "values" and/or "guiding principles". Holding a set of values that govern your behavior is what is actually important and acting upon those values provides a paradigm to guide your actions in the future. Faith can demonstrate them or help guide you towards adopting a strong set of values and principles but it is not in and of itself those things. Faith is merely how you express what greater purpose your actions serve. Sir Azan uses his faith to give purpose to his acts of kindness. Bishop Mozgus uses his faith to justify his horrible acts of violence guided by inconsistent or outright contradictory values as "the will of god." The role of faith is merely what the believer chooses to use it for. In this way, the responsibility lies within the INDIVIDUAL to decide what an appropriate application of faith is in their daily lives.

I'm sorry, were you replying to me or Aleczandxr?

You cannot treat all religions like a monolith, no true disciple of a peaceful religion would become violent. I’d also like the add that no ideology, no religion, and no purpose, that is false, is worth human lives.

I would say that one of the reason religion as a concept appeared was due to there being no laws and people having no drawbacks on anything. Most media references very recent events in history about Catholic and Christian wars and moments when they were used as a pretext for personal gain, but the actual reason for religion to form as a concept was a form of civilizing people where there were no other means for any order and people would kill each other, assault, rape, steal, incest, children having it the worst and nobody had any inhibitions since there was nothing to tell them to think about any of that and nothing to stop them.

@@artorhen Anthropologists have theorized for a while that humans are made to be egalitarian, not violent, innately. Organized religion's role generally falls under one purpose: it's control. Benevolent control, where rules to stop people from dying by ritualizing things that were deadly and dangerous (Leviticus has some rules that I will eat my socks if they weren't put there to stop idiots from dying by eating spoiled shrimp and animals that were in that time raised in squalid conditions and would have contaminated the meat and then the humans consuming it, and it's honestly a genius way to keep people safe without arguing with That One Guy who's always being a contrarian and gets people sick encouraging them to eat the bad shellfish he didn't get sick so neither will they!!!), and political control, where it's clearly for territorial and cultural control and dominion over others. (Heck, even Christianity was merged from two sources as part of a consolidation of power, unifying two kingdoms into one by integrating their faiths into a single one. Religion is fascinating when you admit and look through all its lenses, even the mostly secular ones, like Buddhism, once a sect of it nearly overthrew a Japanese daimyo before the monastery was assassinated on orders of the fearful daimyo.) Community has been around since the earliest days of our early human ancestors and cousins, long before an agricultural revolution pulled most of us away from hunter-gatherer lifestyles. (That's not to say that we didn't have religion then, but religion doesn't make civilizations, it just facilitates them, the same way our modern construction methods don't make megastructures, it just facilitates building those.) If we were violent and savage and orderless by nature, we'd never have evolved the way we do, we'd have evolved to be more like the chimps we share a common ancestor with, instead of being so open (physically, it's very easy to tell what we feel and where we're looking) and wired to trust one another-- and we'd likely never have adapted to co-evolve alongside dogs, who share our unique sociability (and ability to read and convey where they're looking, like us, while it's hard to tell in most canids, just like in most primates).

Ah, Bradley. His words are so powerful that they resonate across anime.

Guts also said that but not in extreme like bradley.

Wrath/King Bradley is the best and correct as always.

This is definitely true, which is why religion in most manga and anime is portrayed as being used for evil or bad outcomes.

Scorpion Sketch In Japan, they used to welcome Christians and stuff like that in the 1300s around like Jesuit Luis Frois, but it was mainly the kyushu islands it was exposed to, Buddhism thrived during the Muromachi period quite well since it was similar to Japan's own religion Shinto. Shinto is the belief that the Emperor is a descendant of a God, which is why no matter what happens to Japans land, the Emperor is still the Emperor of Japan as long as 1 person is still Shinto. When Christianity went to the Philippines, Christians sold Japanese people in a slave trade as well as many other things which is when Japan snapped and made demonstrations on Christian influences and banned it from Japan completely. Since then, the Christian population is incredibly low and will probably remain low, the Islam religion probably has no chance since they worship the same God, different prophet. Buddhism just kind of coexists since the values compliment that of Shinto in a lot of ways. Its not that Japan is against organized religion, but more against that of the people who use religion as an excuse for their actions, to justify it. That is where this comes from. Japan has never really had a good history with Christians other then the short time they were there during the Japanese Civil War and introduced guns (Portugese) as well as marked down and recorded a lot of histories which have typically a lot of inaccuracies since it was made to mainly make Japan seem more exotic. Plus, wars with people being Christian, of course Japan was more European style in warfare which made them the most hated nation of war in Asia, probably indisputably and when they lost the "Christians" yet again did bad things to Japan, i.e. forced brothels and stuff which only closed because the soldiers' wives found out. I wouldnt say its Christians who did that, but a majority of US is Christian so I think its just a bad rep because of experiences such as that during the early 1900s as well which is a while later then the Philippines colonization. Just decades // centuries of stuff that Japan dealt with while trying to fix domestic problems as well, just wasnt the place or time for that shit.

I'd like to point out one thing. (to my understanding of course, as an outsider), it seems more like they have a distrust of theism, rather than religion. A large portion of Japanese follow Folk Shinto (or no religion, which are oddly grouped together at 52%), 35% adhere to Buddhism and 2% follow Christianity according to a census from 2006. (the rest are no answer/or organized Shinto) So to be specific, it's more the idea of western religion they seem to dislike, or more specifically theistic religion.

Or Griffith and Falconia.

@@Gadget-Walkmen No, Griffith is clearly evil and selfish with a god complex. He’d sacrifice every last citizen of Falconia if it meant he’d get what he wants.

Thank you very much, I'm glad to hear that!

completely true. That's why i love Emiya shirou of fate stay night ubw. He also encounter the evil of world. But in the end he decided to believe in himself. Love what he want. Learn from suffering and make your life more better.

*I always thought Berserk to be Furhur King Bradley's view taken to the extreme.* Interestingly enough, Berserk and FMA have very similar messages on religion (IMO) despite tackling and executing those messages in entirely different ways. Bradley and Scar are the best demonstrations of that in FMA by my estimations, and they show many parallels with Miura's themes.

That's why I love FMA's conclusion, where Bradley, the man bound by a predestined path, is beaten by Scar, the man who learns to make his path to god while bearing any burdens on his own shoulders. It's a conclusion that shows that old religion saying that "god only helps those that help themselves."

Well what is FMA really if not just a PG 13 depiction of the Seven Deadly Sins? I mean, Femto is the real, extreme embodiment of greed. Slan is obviously lust. Void I'd assume is pride. Ubik being envy, and Conrad gluttony. Idk who sloth would be, but guess who would make the perfect wrath? Well who tf do you think is the angriest man in fiction? Ding ding ding, you guessed it. Isha' boy. Just food for thought. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Guts would end up being a part of the Godhand. Casca dying might be the last straw that will break that camel's back. If this does happen, Griffith's iconic dialogue about how he'll only consider someone a friend when they're on equal footing would be a legendary foreshadowing. One of the reasons, if not the primary reason why Guts left was so he can pursue his own dream and be on the same plateau as Griffith. Which is a clear implication that he truly wanted to be his "friend" in the context of how Griffith defined the word. Talk about redefining the meaning of friendship.

Idk, that posibility is interesting but also awful. Would deep heart prefer Guts to reject the behelit and be better. Talking about it, why is Ubik envy? What lead you to that conclusion?

Whackashit just a random thought, couldn't sloth be all the people taken as a single "unit" that don't try to fight their way out of the stream of destiny or causality and instead just "exist" along?

Thanks pal :)

Matthew 12:36 (KJV) But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

LMAO hell no. You saying there could be a "good god" revealed in the future is baseless and just you're delusional input of what YOU want to the series to be.

@@Gadget-Walkmen you really need a life bro.

This is basically all I had to say about this topic, so I won't be making any videos similar to this otherwise I'd just be treading the same ground. I'm very glad you enjoyed this one though! Thanks for watching and sharing.

I know this is two years late but I wanted to try to help out with your wonderings and questions, as someone who is neck-deep in theological stuff at the moment because that's where my fanfic writing took me. The Idea of Evil only makes sense if you understand it as being manmade-- to borrow a game that did this excellently: it's ODIO from Live-A-Live (do yourself a favor and at least watch a playthrough, it's so worth it). It's the darkness that dwells in mankind's hearts and can only truly be destroyed if NOBODY has darkness within themselves. When despair, when darkness, when hopelessness forms, then the Idea of Evil exists. It's a self-made "god", humanity worshipping the very evil it created from inflicting misery and despair on itself, a snake eating its own tail without recognizing its suffering or that it's causing it by eating itself. The Godhand is merely the main architects that props up and ensure that the Idea of Evil can never die by making sure that humanity continues suffering by its own hands. Griffith's "good", what he claims as good for Falconia, is resting on a lattice of corpses and untold sufferings, both past and future. Do you honestly believe that Griffith can control the apostles, that he can keep them from using the humans in his world as food, that he won't justify them as sacrifices to be made with the others of the Godhand murmuring in his ear, leading him further and further to serve the Idea of Evil and make sure that their power source and their dominion never end? Griffith is a false, misleading hope (and I think that Guts isn't true hope either: my guess would be Casca, instead of either protagonist; hope has to be a pure ideal, and neither Guts nor Griffith are capable of pure good even in the face of the darkest darkness.) I'll propose something that may or may not make sense to you: a benevolent God, in Berserk's world, doesn't exist as an outside force like the Idea of Evil, fed by people's inner darkness when they give up and give in to despair. It instead exists as an active force WITHIN humanity, constantly battling against the passive Idea of Evil, and it's manifesting in the kindness and empathy and hope that people show each other, lights in the darkness. An idea of a good and benevolent God exists because it's a way to give hope; it was written not because it's true, but rather because someone was driven to inspire hope against despair, to unite people against the growing darkness. And maybe, if humanity gets itself together, without taking actions that feed the Idea of Evil, _then_ this hope of a benevolent god will itself create an Idea of Good. Source: I dunno I just read all of Devilman and Violence Jack and Miura's clearly inspired by that, I'm guessing based on Guts = Akira Fudo/Violence Jack, Beast of Darkness = Amon, Griffith/Femto/Moonlight Boy = Ryo Asuka/Satan, Casca = Miki Makimura, though the Idea of Evil is very very prevalent in Japanese media and it's always a parasite that feeds on humanity's collective inner darkness and corrupts ideals into warmongering so I'm not guessing on that part, I will eat my paintbrushes if I'm wrong about how the Godhand's whole purpose is to make sure it can't wither away by keeping humanity divided. (Also generally in Japan the stance is more _organized_ religion is bad (and I mean when you have two huge cults there that steal people's money and leave them in abject poverty for its founders' personal profits, it's kind of understandable, see Mother's Basement's videos about Happy Science and the assassination of Shinzo Abe and his relation to the other big cult), _personal_ religion is good and laudable even when it gives people hope and unity, so I'm reflecting that with my guessing as to the nature of good in Berserk's world.)

Aw, thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks. And I might watch it but I'm not in any rush to do so.

Aleczandxr Champloo also has an interesting take on religion. Christianity in Medieval Japan.... Silence movie night be better for that though

What do you, as an atheist, think of the Idea of Evil?

In the context of berserk I think basically the same as Aleczandxr explained it in the video. Where people dont want to confront the evil in that world and push it on to a unseen deity or concept. Basically they are like " why does this happen to me I dont deserve this. there must be some reason this is happening it just not fare" when they have to realize life is not fare and accept that but they have to push past it like guts has done in the series and keep forging there own destiny. If you have any other questions I will answer them.

Shank X I broadly agree with you but I think that the foundation of every religion, faith, is definitively what makes it bad. Faith means believing without good reason, and once you do that, you can be manipulated into doing anything. Even if you do good things because of faith, while I won't complain, you are doing them because of bad reasons. There's always a reason to be a decent person that doesn't involve faith.

I also agree with you that faith in anyway is bad as well.

(Giving you the side eye) explain.

Thanks! And no worries, no obligation to write an essay for every comment. You already provide interesting thoughts on other videos anyway, which I appreciate.

Just venting a little about wanting what's just outside my grasp lol. And thanks, it's always a struggle to wonder if a lonnng opinion from a Christian is well received, though I try to control myself regardless ^-^

GoldenYuri that is absolute nonsense. Absolute bullshit. This is an over exaggeration but I’ve heard about Christians reading satanic doctrines to learn about how they work etc. Even if Beserk was anti-religion (which it isn’t), like with the satanic doctrines, how can you fight an enemy you know nothing about? I hope your friend was joking.

The Holy See was made by the God Hand to weaken people's perception of the astral realm and lessen the number of magic users by branding them as heretics. These magic users are slayed as they pose a threat to the god hand. The religion also denounced the existence of supernatural beings such as elves, etc. As these creatures can help them defeat the demons as Schierke said. And the Holy See's biggest achievement for the God Hand is to make people see Femto aka Griffith, as their holy savior. Only real berserk fans know that!

I agree, while belief is a necessary part, it does not require that u have to believe in him or however omnipotent beings are addressed, even in layers of the afterlife there are specific levels, people who believed and did good, people who didnt believe and did good people who believed and did evil, and people who didnt and did evil

I like your comment

I would agree with you, but I don't agree with some Christian beliefs. The Bible supports slavery, persecution of gay people and eternal suffering of any non-believer in hell. I believe these things to be immoral and would never want to be part of Christianity. Also, I don't need gods protection from evil, because if he is the creator of everything than he is the creator of evil, therefore he want us to pray for his protection of something he himself made. That seems like something only a manipulator would do.

@@Jackson-tx5uc Christians, as written in the Bible, should be obeying the writings in the New Testament as their primary instructions on how to live their life. There are a variety of instructions to NOT persecute others, and to be better people before even attempting to help others. That message is often lost in the routine of big churches, and/or lost by not truly studying the Bible, and instead only reading through without fully understanding the more subtle points, or the not blatantly stated points in some cases. I would also recommend being careful about posts/papers/articles stating things like "The Bible supports slavery" and other similar things. Those are often written from a hostile perspective from the start, and seek out any passage that supports their perspective, while ignoring anything that doesn't immediately support said view. Oftentimes, understanding that the bible is written to three different groups (Jew, Gentile (those who have never heard of God's word or who don't believe), and Believer) and that we are in the 5th Biblical era, of which the Old Testament is the 1st through 4th Biblical Eras (and thus for our learning, NOT for direct instruction) makes a claim like "The Bible supports slavery!" a moot point, because we're not asked to exactly follow the writings of the Old Testament, only to learn from them. And often, slavery isn't even the point of many passages, but something that was part of the culture of the time. Slavery is something that is not a standard of the New Testament that I can recall, and from the Believer's perspective, the unbeliever's fate to be burned in the lake of fire (which is the manifestation/lack of God's presence by the rejection of God) is the result of the choices of the nonbelievers. It's impossible to live in harmony with God the Father if his love and teachings are rejected by someone. Also, I am writing this comment to inform you of the Christian perspective, and to inform others who are likely to read these comments later.

How did you know that the Christian God is that one god that exists though

Thank you!

Cabanilla If someone really thinks that they are just stupid. There are Christians who think if everyone believed in god there would be no conflict. That’s just wrong maybe it will decrease though conflict will never end. People may fight over which god is right, what’s the perfect idea of god, and what god would want. There will always be conflict maybe less conflict though conflict will always happen it’s just what happens when you have a massive amount of people with free will.

Hey I am also non religious and agree with this statement

*I would actually argue that while Berserk doesn't really advocate for or against Religion* That’s essentially the main point of the video.

@@Aleczandxr my comment wasn't to disagree or argue simply to point out how much Miura seems to pull, either consciously or subconsciously from the Boom of Revelation in his writing.

False adoration is from a corrupted world. It's better to be hated and viritous than loved and evil.

Thanks! :)

Just finished the video. Really liked it but Flora does hint that there are ideas of a deity of goodness when discussing the different layers of the Astral world. Flora explains that there are realms which people can reach according to their own Karma (which Flora even says that even the ideas of both Heaven and Hell could exist). There's also the deity's of the Four Kings of the World and are seen to assist humans when being personally contacted to do so (Like when the Lady of the Depths helps wipe out the Trolls with the flood in Enoch village). I think you're right on the money that the Idea of Evil was created by people wanting something to attribute their terrible actions towards, but these 'good' deity's do exist in Berserk, they were just masqueraded by the fact with the God hand attributing towards the Holy Sees rise in to power (Which was inherently corrupt and caused benevolent deity's like the Four Kings to be forgotten in the public eye due to Holy See Churches replacing their shrines.

That's awesome to hear! Thanks for being such a long time watcher, I'm so glad you enjoy the channel.

Thanks!

Thanks! And I'll have to stop eventually but I'll continue for as long as it continues to be worthwhile!

Thanks so much mate, it really means a lot! :)

I'm Cool and this video was Christian

No one cares.

@@testegameplays4285 This video was certainly NOT "Christian" at all. I don't care if your comment is a joke, don't joke by insulting this video like that.

@@Gadget-Walkmen cool dude!

@@Gadget-Walkmen No one cares lmao

Thanks for watching.

The Holy See was made by the God Hand to weaken people's perception of the astral realm and lessen the number of magic users by branding them as heretics. These magic users are slayed as they pose a threat to the god hand. The religion also denounced the existence of supernatural beings such as elves, etc. As these creatures can help them defeat the demons as Schierke said. And the Holy See's biggest achievement for the God Hand is to make people see Femto aka Griffith, as their holy savior. Only real berserk fans know that!

Emiya Shirou exactly you will be judged over everything you intended to do not what you did

The Mozgus situation has more than enough to draw the conclusions made from this video. Unless you're an idiot.

How do you know what "god" wants us to do?

You know nothing about him, if he exists.

I never said I "knew"

Thanks!

Aleczandxr You’re welcome! :)

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for sharing that!

Cheers.

My pleasure!

Qarcon Yes it did. Mangastorian posted a video of the chapter it was in before it was omitted by the author who felt it gave away to much information to soon. Here's hoping it's introduced in the story's canon soon.

Yep, like I said in the video.

That kinda means human's collective unconscious is god then right.

Soccer Stuff no Donovan is our god

Soccer Stuff He is a cruel god, who ignores our pleas! To deliver us from HIATUS!

@@edwardgaines6561 I see you in every Berserk vids...

@@mcp7158 It's a nice pet to have, Bereark is. I've never read a manga that dealt with such raw and graphic subject matter: Sexual violence, menstrual cycles, pedophilia...

Thank you.

The sad thing is that you cant change human nature, and even if you could, be would be stop being humans all together, we would be mindless drones.

Human's can't change their nature, that is true, but they have proved to take action in the face of adversity. The same nature that makes humans act stupidly is the same nature that allows for personal growth and using violence to fight back oppression. Humans like the nazis caused a continental genocide, but there were humans that fought back and humans that made the decisions necessary for peace treaties and stopping future wars. I don't know how Berserk will end, but humans in this world have proven they are capable of both kindness and cruelty, so I hope humanity learns to become better.

Yeah, put some of those humans were hypocrites were they had systematic racism and segregation in their own country, and now those same peace treaties are being used by greedy men to cause a nice and warm nuclear war, humans never change, violence and greed in their nature, humans never learn from their mistakes, they didn't in the past, and they wont now.

I can't judge all of humanity by the actions of an elite of greedy people. Even if humanity enters a Fallout kind of scenario, human kindness can survive because, as I said, the determination that makes us be fools also make us not give up in being good. I am not naive, but I am not a pessimist like Bansky.

Thanks! I've talked about Koala already in one of my older HxH videos, don't remember which one. It's wasn't extensive but it was a few minutes of substantial discussion, from what I remember.

No problems whatsoever, thanks for the support and thanks for watching.

Thank you.

That sounds cool tbh.

I tackle each subject for as long as it needs to be tackled. It's your choice to watch whichever videos you want but nothing except my opinion of "thoroughness" dictates length.

Aleczandxr While I generally agree with the commenter above about the length of videos, I can't help but stay hanging on your every word so I don't care about the length.

Leaky Peach That's awesome to hear! I only make a video long if I'm sure that it'll be worth it/good, so that's great.

Aleczandxr Yeah! Though that could be because I'm trying to become a writer, so I try to analyze stories I witness as well (I can't help it). But you definitely fill in the blank spots that I either missed or interpreted differently. So while we may not agree on some of your views, I can't help but hear what you have to say.

Thanks!

Except less clueless.

Glad to hear it!
