Casca's Awakening (Berserk Drama CD)
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.2 года назад
This audio comes from the drama CD bundled with the special edition of Berserk volume 41. I just synced up the audio with the respective scenes in the manga. The drama CD is almost an hour long, and well worth buying. It contains many scenes from chapters 346 all the way to the very last lines of chapter 364. I don't understand any Japanese aside from some random words, but to say it was an emo...
I Will Never Forget - Berserk MMV

SONG: ruclips.net/video/ggx2yb_iwSc/видео.html A month has passed since Kentaro Miura's death was made public and I haven't tried until now to verbally express how much he and his work mean to me. The more I think about it, the more apparent it becomes that I am not capable of doing so in a way that makes me satisfied. The truth is, Berserk has ingrained itself so deep within me that describing...
2:15 - 2:32 peak Thanks for the amazing tribute, I too will never forget...
🙂👍
💪 🗿💪❤️❤️🗡
wow man W edit
I found berserk while in bed sleeping off my seizures. Funny how such a dark story fostered such a loving fanbase
Very cool video, i didnt expect that topic being brought up but i really appreciate it and i want more things like this
:(
Every year I find myself coming back here....
Este es el mejor tributo que se le podría hacer a 'Berserk'. Me encanta cómo has sabido captar la esencia de la historia con la música y los paneles tan bien escogidos y entrelazados. 'Berserk' es mi historia de ficción favorita, y Guts es, literalmente, alguien a quien admirar y en quien reflejarse; una persona que, a pesar de las adversidades que le presentó la vida, siempre ha seguido adelante. Y seguirá. Muchas gracias por este vídeo. Te llega al corazón ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤
Marin me cry here brother
Ash Williams (Army of darkness) or Josh Mcgrath / Max Steel or Action Man (1993) be like Guts, Elizaberth Betsy Braddock / Psylocke or A2 (Nier) be like Casca, My Melody be like Chicchi, Ash or Guts have the Armor Zavala or Lord Saladin (Destiny) or Batman final suit o Iron Man godkiller or iron god or Titanium Man, I feel the pain of Guts, Kentaro Miura's legacy continues somehow, berserk is like another alternative dimension of evil dead, what if Guts He would not have crossed paths with the Hank band, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley a.i cover sing tell me why and Waiting so long

Beautiful 🗿
Beautiful
Tu video me hiso amar mas a berserk
yes the sa was voyeuristic but you cannot criticise the depth of his female characters. if you want a bunch mary sues kicking ass go watch the mcu, if you want scared, vulnerable, damaged women being who they have to be to survive, then processing their trauma and growing from it, then read berserk.
Ur actually going to put a literal whore on your podcast to answer the questions? Sorry but that’s just not how normal women think. She’s actually rationalized this as insecurity in guys, just so she can feel okay enough to survive, obviouslt she isn’t happy. But you’re gonna take her answer seriously? You should actually just say o. The show: okay how do the other girls think about this? Because this is litteraly a whore talking, a whore who had to bend time and space to justify her own feelings and persoective on the world. You’re going to take her answer seriously?
what the hell are you talking about?
@@thePontiffsSnickerdoodles I am laughing so hard right now! I think this dude is on the wrong page!
И лучшая вариациия форсэса ;)
Chills
I think this the greatest berserk tribute I have seen in RUclips the love and passion behind this is clearly visible. Berserk is a masterpiece which has managed to resonate with so many people and show them a reason to struggle in a meaningless and bleak world . It literally saved me Rip Kentaro Miura your legacy will never be forgotten
Thank you
I find myself going through a lot of hardships, in relationship, in military prep, in school, and every other piece of my life. The one thing that helps, after reading almost 33 chapters of berserk, getting as far as the trip to elfhelm, is that I ask myself "what would guts do". Sometimes I fall onto guts from the early chapters, but I find that it's almost always better to become the guts of the later chapters. One who puts doing what's right over doing what feels good. But above all, no matter what arc guts I try to follow, I must always continue on
Update, graduated boot camp The story is far from over, but I had a little recruit laminated (just covered in hella tape) picture of guts to keep me going. Now I kinda want a tattoo of it. I'm on some boot Crack wanting a tattoo, but I'll hold off and wait. I expect guts to stick with me through infantry school and farther beyond. He will always inspire me.
I have never and will never read something as emotional and moving as Berserk. It’s made me cry tears of both sadness and joy so many times. It’s helped me through my depression and motivated me as a person. I think that it perfectly represents learning to move on but never forgetting. Thank you so much for this masterpiece Miura, Rest In Peace. ❤️
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how well the song Forces encapsulates the feeling of Miuras Story. Endless struggle matched by endless fight.
Regarding Luca. It’s very telling to me that a sex worker that lived in poverty does a lot more to display compassion and forgiveness than the suposed “Christian’s”(or at least a Christianity stand in) The Holy See.
Christians in berserk are not Christians everywhere.
A sex worker mom for example who takes good care of her kid isn't really a good mom by putting her/him through some bullying from her/his friends or society. It'd interesting how when people see the rarest of the rarest of good sex workers.... people immideatly want to claim the moral high ground, what they accuse Christians or doing.
good!
"im awake" *guts walks up JESUS FUCKING CHRSIT griffith rescues her and lives happily ever after
this is absolutely beautiful good sir! wonderful selection of the panels, i kept rewinding and rewatching the whole thing multiple times! 10/10
What an amazing video! There was a lot of tiny details that I didn't thought would have been considered important, great video!
This is very beautiful kentaro Miura would be very proud of this
He's not done yet I believe he will get back up and be stronger
Could u please make a only vocal version?
Where can I find this version of the song???

I really appreciate this video! I’ve felt pretty annoyed with some people when it Berserk’s depiction of !MASCULINITY and how its a manga purely for MENNN! Not that I have any problem with masculinity but it’s annoying when they act as if that’s what Berserk is about, Berserk is about it’s characters.
People forget that the entire story wouldn’t have happened if a woman never stepped in and saved Guts before a man could kill him.
Jill ❤️
you claim in this video that females are real. yet you give no source for this claim.
Faces is such a good mixtape
AMAZING VIDEO NATHAN SAMA YOU'RE FR THE BEST
I enjoyed the video, though a female whose main purpose is to support the lead male character (even if that support is absolutely crucial) wouldn't be considered an example of feminist writing, but rather of traditional writing. I guess Casca is an example of a feminist character, but not very revolutionary, as her main function for a big chunck of the story is to serve as the lead male love interest and dancel in distress. Another one would be Molda but she is not really a lead character. Even Flora and the Elf Queen would be considered too pasive to transgress the role of the traditional wise women (feminists advocate for active female characters). Other females, like Slan, do not appear much and usualy evil and/or hypersexualised characters do not fall into the feminist category either. I agree that Luca was an awesome character and probably the best feminist example. Sadly she's also not a lead character. Overall, I wouldn't list Berserk into the feminist mangas, but I'm sure female readers of Berserk do relate and identify with Guts, since regardless of his gender he is still an amazing character full of virtues. Also, a male character can be a feminist if he servers as an example to other men so they respect women and do not underestimate them. I believe Guts serves this purpose very well. Rgds.
Hi there, thanks for the detailed comment. Regarding your first point, I thought a few times while making this video that someone might raise that point, and it's a failure on my part for not making a clearer potential response to that. Feminism is a broad term, it covers a range of ideologies, and while there's many overlap between them, there's no one way to define the term. That is why this video is only one type of feminist analysis, which was through the arguments used by Cynthia Enloe in the book Making Feminist Sense of International Politics. She specifically discusses how unseen women change the world despite not getting the credit they deserve. I likely should have cited examples in the video to make this clearer, again, an oversight on my part. For example, she writes substantially about the wives of army base men who have been relocated to live with them. Their main purpose, as you would say, is to support males. But Enloe still gives her own idea of feminism to highlight the importance of these women, by discussing how their presence drastically shapes national politics due to the roles they took on at the bases. So yes, while this video would likely not pass the check for a general view of feminism, that's fine. I'm specifically analyzing from Enloe's lens. This is also why I called it "A" feminist analysis. It's simply one type. Personally, I think the fact that the Berserk world would be doomed to a fate consumed by evil without the presence of these women makes them extremely important and worthy of being celebrated in a feminist sense, regardless of the fact that their actions supported a male character. Furthermore, regarding your point about Slan, that's not something I would disagree with at all. But to reiterate, I'm simply trying to do "A" feminist analysis of some characters, using a lens that is less orthodox, so Slan was never in the cards for me. Analyzing the entire series under a general feminist definition is not only something I'm grossly unqualified to do, but would also be a massive undertaking. Again, thanks for the comment, genuinely. The whole point of sharing these things and not just keeping it to myself is so I can see what other people think. I just wanted to make my perspective more visible since it seems I didn't elaborate as much as I would have liked to in the video.
Luca is literally the best female character.
@trill_nathan I absolutely agree with your response to this comment. The point of this video went over this person's head but that's understandable. With a topic like Feminism you always want tread waters with that and you did a fantastic job in not belittling this person's comment. Yet you still made your point go Across.
@@destinyeyoung0128 Thanks for the kind words!
I think it's not necessarily that women play a supporting role to Guts in the story, but instead that they play a parallel role to him in terms of their independent interiority and equivalent inner strength. With the exception of Schierke (for whom supporting Guts helps her understand more of herself and the world around her, which I would agree is sort of traditional, if still very beautiful and compelling, writing), most of the women are like Guts in that they pretty much deal with their own independent yet equivalent struggles with inner darkness, trauma, and fate. With characters like Jill, we see that what Guts went through in childhood can be embodied in inner strength and silent trauma, not just outward resistance. Casca, meanwhile, shows us such resistance in a female character, as you said. Farnese and Nina (probably the most relatable characters to me as a woman) display that the struggle against our worst selves might not even be a battle against hatred and rage, but rather a daily effort towards care and away from selfishness. Farnese, in particular, even usurps Guts's role as Casca protector, because her struggle, despite her more typically "feminine" evils and virtues alike, resonates with Casca as more safe and relatable than Guts's consuming rage. In the end, it is she, not Guts, who saves Casca from her prison of fear. In other words, the series has many characters that, far from just existing to support Guts, are in fact just like him, but dealing with things in their own ways. Even Schierke has a largely parallel loss when she has to cope with Flora, although her mirror image is isidro more than Guts. And of course, the character that embodies solidarity with women's trauma the most is Guts himself, whose own rape is at the core of his shame and fear, forever buried under the armor of masculine rage. So, basically, I think Berserk is an extremely feminist series because it shows that everyone regardless of gender, can go through the same things, while also understanding the effects that the gendered self has on the experience and manifestation of those things. In its quest towards a total appraisal and representation of the human experience, Berserk gets gender, like so many other things, totally right, and it would be hard to convince me otherwise.
Go off oomfie!!
Awesome video bro
great video! really interesting points tying the elves to this seemingly random flow of events that seem to counteract the god hands manipulation of causality
lolicon janai, feminist desu ~ a certain Kiheitai character
GOAT GOAT GOAT GOATTTTTT
Can't wait to watch this when I get time!
Yessir!
The real reason Schierke and Farnese aren't analyzed is because I didn't want to pronounce their names multiple times
Honestly though its like Miura chose those names as middle fingers to the english language
You should just mickname them Witch and Pyro. Much easier!
Lmaooo
