- (Berserk) Was Guts Based on a Real Person!? Was Guts, the Black Swordsman, based on legendary knight Götz von Berlichingen!?
As strange as it sounds, some anime and manga characters were inspired and based on real people. Rock lee was based on bruce lee, Asimov and Katerina from Cowboy Bebop were based on Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek, and countless One Piece characters were based on real people.
Now… was guts, the main character of berserk, based on a real person?
DeltaDashDash's video: • Berserk - Interview wi...
Burgfestspiele Jagsthausen's play • Götz von Berlichingen ...
What if the dude was just a really big Berserk fan and went back in time to roleplay as his favourite character
Hm
A true die hard fan
I will be this man.
Almost done mastering time travel.
It works different than you think.
You need to project your consciousness into some other time it IS possible tp posess a human being.
It requires DMT, psi affinity, and a series of bineral sounds.
You "plank out" of space time.
This post is not a joke the cia has released papers on it.
@@bigfoot3866 Sup Joe Rogan I see youre using your alt acc again

He isn't based on anyone, he's just *Based*
Nice

extra based desu
I really like the prototype guts. Specifically the version of him with an eye patch where he bangs demon ladies before blowing them away, and he drank alcohol and was generally more dour and dire. Kind of like a demon slaying duke nukem.
On what?
I always got the feeling it was the Ziggy Effect. Miura probably heard about Gotz somewhere and forgot about it but the information was still hanging around in his subconscious.
@@RADZ97 There's an episode of Seinfeld where Elaine sends a cartoon to the New Yorker. It turns out the joke was originally in a Ziggy comic that Elaine had seen but forgotten about.
@@Anon26535 Very weird, that happens to me alot but I didn't know that's what it is called
Nah, it is often that people's ideas and fantasies can have similarities.
It's more likely that the characteristics shared by Guts and Gotz are almost universally perceived as badass and larger than life, rather than the Ziggy effect. Individually they're fairly common tropes - prosthetic-wielding soldier, mercenary, vulgar - but combined they just happen to represent both Guts and Gotz. I tell stories through tabletop games like D&D all the time, and I often get my friends telling me they find a character or enemy similar to something in real life when they weren't intentionally based on anything specific.
Yeah I unknowingly do that myself. I think it's more common than people realize. I only notice when I go back and realize that I've quoted a long forgotten film or other media. I'm lucky I don't like mainstream media for the most part.
Gotz is a pretty cool guy even if he didnt inspire guts character
@Evaly FBI agent
If you tell me that some guy in the medieval ages fought until the age of 80s and with a metal hand
I’ll call it bs
@@user-ns3nj1jr8h No, he retired with 64 years.
And all the stories about him as a robin hood figure are from his autobiography. So he probably stole and started feuds for his own benefit.
But he was a (late) medieval knight, who fought with an iron hand and died at 82 years.
He's a pimp
@@user-ns3nj1jr8h people were stronger back than. with a high child-mortality only 50% made it to adultness. With the lack of modern medicine you just have to rely on your body and faith to overcome plagues and sickness. Life was more physical demanding as no automation existed and every labor was handwork. It is something diffrent if you just hit the gym for an hour and heat your home with electric that comes from a plantation with high automated processing - or if you have to hack wood frequently to have enough to heat the stove in your hut. They needed no gym. That People in the medieval ages died earlier because of malnutrition and sickness.
The part about the malnutriton is the crack though.
There lived alot people in that era that easily reached an age of 90. And these people where often from higher stand, cleriks, Knights, nobles etc. off course they could rely on a rich nutrition with enough proteins and vitamins.
Friedrich Barbarossa was 68 when he joined the Crusades and was still healthy enough to carry his full armor, for example. He still drowned though.
Healthy or physical demanding lifestyle, good nutrition, no raffined or artificial chemicals in your food and no invention of pension. You work until you die.
Compare the 80 year olds of a western civilized country. worked till 60 and then did nothing and then you get dementia or your body shuts down as you dont use it and fed it with modern junkfood most of the time. look at the 80 year olds in 3rd or 2nd world countries that have no pensionplan and still work. they are not as fit as a 20 year old but still mentaly and physically fit for their age because they need to work still. It all depends on lifestyle and food.
GÖTZ
Another important thing you forgot to mention. Gotz had an imperial ban on him. Twice. Essentially it meant anyone could kill him if they wanted with no consequences. Meaning he'd have to be extremely vigilant and continuously fight for his life. His first imperial ban lasted two years.
Sound familiar? Guts' brand forced him to fight every single day for his life. For two years, until he met Schierke who could cover his brand mark. There's no way Miura didn't take inspiration from Gotz.
bro thats a good point
Outlawed basically and whats more bad ass is instead of say "I am done this Bandit, Mercenary stuff is done" he went "F that Noise"
It is totally possible that miura didnt take inspiration from him. You see, we all share the collective unconcious, a lot of this happen everyday because of it
facts
He was kill on sight outside his own land but not on it. So he didn’t have it as bad as Guts but he’s still an awesome figure for many other reasons.
Kentaro Miura token influences cenobites Hellraiser the Godhands, Star War reference in Chapter 363 and Flesh and Blood Rutge Hauer movie.
Not to mention the names of the Godhand members being based on the titles of old sci fi books, and there are many other influences which Miura had taken inspiration from throughout berserk
Ah yes the Millennium Falcon arc
@@cloudbloom And now it's a weird mix of sci-fi, Nietzsche Philosophy and Bible references. But it works pretty good. Reminds me of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure which is basically just Araki's Spotify playlist. And it still managed to become one of the most popular series. Proves that references can make your work successful if you use it wisely
Also Ash from the evil dead, Cobra, devil man and Conan the barbarian.
Also from Phantom of Paradise.
I know this may not be as exiting to many, but Guts’s past obviously loosely mirrors the childhood of Miyamoto Musashi.
Who dat?
@@civotamuaz5781 one of the biggest badasses of feudal japan.
@@civotamuaz5781 a master samurai that ran away from home and made his first kill in a duel at the age of 14 against an adult. He would go on to win 60 duels slaying the teachers and masters of Japan’s finest dueling academies. He also fought in several military skirmishes. He retired from fighting at age 26.
Considering that in the Berserk Prototype Guts was conceptualised by Miura as an exiled Samurai wondering a medieval landscape I could see this being an inspiration for Miura. Since without the eyepatch Prototype Guts and Serialised Guts look pretty much the same I imagine Miura kept this inspo.
"He was the man who invented the term 'kiss my ass.'" Yep, sounds like Guts to me.
I've known about this coincidence for many years (because of the DVD interview haha) but I'm glad you made this video, I still see the question posed in berserk groups by people who find out about Götz
Which dvd can I find the interview?
@@IGeorge94 it says in the video as well
A common problem when writing a story is that 99.99% of what you come up with has either already been made, thought of, or happened in reality or fiction somewhere on the planet.
It is in no way a deterrent to stop you from making your own story it is just keep you grounded and down to earth. Many writers, artists, and developers go through this.
This one time I pitched to a friend that it would be great to have a game where you kill humans and he said like that indie PS2 game destroy all humans. To which to my surprise existed despite me never ever coming across the game. Another time while learning to skateboard a friend who also skated asked me what I was trying to do one day. I told him I was trying to ride the skateboard upside down. For weeks and weeks he told e watch Daewon Song vs. Rodney Mullen round 3. I finally watched it, and saw how someone had already been able to do exactly what I had been trying to do which is called darkslide riding on the grip tape.
I’ve experienced this a lot with most of my characters except a few which are merely comparable to other characters but not identical or similar
@@zzodysseuszz its funny how sometimes you can not even notice yourself doing it, step back for a few days and go "oh shit, thats just a mash up from like 3 comic book story arks " lol.
I also thought of creating a series where people fight with "beings coming out of them. These beings are made up of inner energy or inner determination". Then, a few years later, I discovered Persona, JoJo and HxH.
@@kekpriority66 since when did hxh have that idea??
@@zzodysseuszz netero's nen ability.
"Collective unconscious" I guess. For all we know, Miura saw something about Gotz when he was 4 years old, and the memory nestled itself into his subconscious. Or maybe just an uncanny coincidence. Who really knows for sure?
Causality
Not to mention, Midguard might aa well be Medieval to Early Modern Germany because the HRE was one of the more politically decentralised states, from Internal wars like the Hussite Wars to the European Wars of Religion to the Italian Wars, Northern Crusades, Wars with the Ottomans ect, the Pope and the Emperor even had a lot of Beef.
In short, lots and lots of Feudal and Massive Wars until the Habsburgs and Austria settle things down after the Wars (becoming the central state in the HRE) and Prussia became a thing but even then there was tension until Napoleon ended the HRE.
Ironically, the picture of Gots at 6:43 looks like it was drawn by Miura. That looks straight out any war scene in the manga.
1:58
you sound like you've never seen a draw before until you discovered manga
@@cornelims7441 lol I'm an artist.
That specific piece looks extremely similar to how he draws knights. Considering the subject matter, it's very serendipitous (that's a ten dollar word for you) that the knight in question was draw nearly the same as Miura.
@@johnnonamegibbon3580 you mean the other way around buddy , and no since both the draws are different , one tries to make the face look less realistic , and the other tries to make the faces look similar to a real character and more realistic , and infact the story of gotz the iron hand is not similar to the story of guts , the only similarities between them is the arm
@@cornelims7441 You might oughta be less stubborn and take this less personally. I think he primarily is referring to the level of detail Miura puts in to shading, and how weighty the sets of armor he manages to draw look. Obviously they are not the exact same, as one was likely done at a point in time long before Miura (let alone any of us in the comment section) were born, and while you did correctly identify that Miura (shockingly) has his own art style, you can't completely deny the aesthetic similarities of both Miura and whoever had originally drawn that portrait of Gotz.
As Bruce Campbell once said.
"Groovy."
1:23 AYO??! he's literally the chad wojak doe 😳
This dude was so much of a chad, he literally manifested himself after death in not one but two positive manly archetypes of our time.
(Bonus points for chad wojac commonly being involved in a time travel meme - the synchronicity is strong with this guy.)
Obviously Miura WAS Gotz in a previous life. That's why there's a subconscious coincidence.
@Mudbutt23 Me: "So Gotz got Isekai'ed, as a Japanese Man, in mid Shōwa Era, Japan then some point, in life regained his, memories and decided writing, a loose picture word, book series?"
I was a great knight, and I got reincarnated as a mangaka
Though im not so sure of the validity of this story
Grutte pier was a frisian freedom fighter who had his family massacred by lansknecht mercenaries and weilded a massive sword that was 7 feet long in battle he was even stated to be strong enough to bend coins
Edit: bend coins with his bare fucking hands
Pier owned a giant sword, I'm not convinced he actually used it in battle. My suspicion is it was either a display piece or swung for strength training. I've trained with medieval weapons for nearly 10 years and as well as competed in both powerlifting and strongman but even my custom backsword is only 5% heavier than the standard model.
Pier's sword is about double the weight of a regular greatsword or 4x heavier than a longsword, it's completely unnecessarily large. If you're strong enough to use that effectively you're going to be able to swing a regular sword faster for longer do crazy amounts of damage.
@@bloodypommelstudios7144 from the stories i have read (on the internet so probably second hand and here say) he was a pirate so im not sure how effective such a large sword would be on the deck of a ship or even worse inside the confines of one.
and considering he was not fighting alone but with his own army (according to the sources) i dont see him having much room to swing around a big sword anyway it would be more practical to use somekind of pole arm or well a regular sword.
i think the sword was a symbol that he used to rally his men or maybe to show off his strength
but i agree the big sword was probably not used in battle
Interesting
@@magtegi2 I disagree with both of you. He was 7’1 according to records and probably weighed around 300 ish pounds or so of muscle. The dude was strong and probably trained with greatswords his whole life.
Yeah is the sword huge? Absolutely. Unfeasible? For us yes, but we forget our ancestors were far stronger and sometimes taller than us.
@@thewanderingstruggler8601 I mean, if we're talking averages, our ancestors tended to be smaller than us due to stressors during their growth period, such as malnutrition, diseases, and even less major stuff like exposure to harsh weather without modern heaters and air conditioning, or smoke exposure (keep in mind, effective chimneys weren't used in houses until the 12th century, so before that there was a lot more smoke in houses from cooking and heating.) The more energy your body has to put into keeping you alive when it encounters these stressors, the less it has left to put into growth. Now some people still managed to do just fine in spite of this, and some places and eras got hit harder than others, but again when you look at the averages, a lot of people weren't. As for whether they were stronger, that's a lot more debatable.
If we're talking brute strength then, yes, since historically most people did some sort of labor intensive job, most of them were probably stronger than your average modern person who doesn't have a labor intensive job. If we're just talking general ability to not die, that's a lot harder to assess. On one hand, most of us today will probably live longer than our ancestors because we live less harsh lives; on the other hand, you could argue that our ancestors' ability to survive in spite of all the world threw at them indicates that they're stronger. Then if you look at it from a genetic standpoint, in most the youngest generations generally outperform their ancestors because of natural/artificial selection (though a sudden reduction of selection pressure could potentially reduce this effect.) That's why dairy cows today produce way more milk than dairy cows from 100 years ago (though admittedly, some of that's do to improved husbandry and medical advancement as well.)
They have a pillar in Chile looking like a hand coming out of the ground I swear it resembles the god hand in Beserk the fingers are even matched y'all should go check it out I bet it was not even thought of by Miura(Rip Kentaro) or inspired but an unknown coincidence just like this character resembling the German warrior
It seems like a big coincidence at first but the name is a single syllable where only half the letters match and that's after being translated to English. He was far from the only person in the time period to have an iron prosthetic too and if any group of people is likely to be over-represent in needing one it would be mercs.
True. Now if he wielded an overly-sized greatsword and also had his right eye missing I'd start believing in aliens.
I've heard some people compare guts to Hercules and the 12 labors
Were Hercules must fight ancient beasts, monsters in order to complete his 12 labors
A little similar were guts must fight monsters and demons in order to survive
Miura is Guts himself, considering the harsh life of Mangaka in Japan, he's the real struggler.
I mean.... "Of the Iron Hand" is easily one of the most amazing titles ever
Another youtuber pointed out that there is fiction series called THe Eternal Champions. In that series the protagonist apparently loses his left arm, his right eye, travels with his love on a boat to some sort of magic island in order to heal her. Possible that Miura never did hear of Gotz but instead read Eternal Champions...idk?
Goethe: *copy-strikes all berserk videos on you-tube from his tomb.
RUclips: ahhh yes, perfection.
Gotz was thr inspiration for Giant Dad
The legend never fucking dies.
@@mtlacunae8659 the legend never dies, he just gets back up and pwns them
It kinda sucks how rare it is to be that badass now
I suspect he forgot about the historical figure. Remember, Berserk was made in 1989. Well before the internet was everywhere. Artists generally need reference material for creating art and collecting ideas for writing. Muira's artwork is well detailed and he'd need to go to a library or buy books on medieval Europe, look at the armor and castles and he'd even need to look at prosthetics.
Most likely, he sketched the iron hand of Gotz without really thinking about the name. Maybe the name say in his head, forgetting where it came from.
As for the history portion of Gotz, I doubt he looked into it too much. He just mostly remembered the reference sketches.
Regardless, we can't further probe his mind, as this great artist has passed away. RIP Kentaro Miura
What educators think language was like back in the medieval age: "Would'st thou dropeth thine weapon?!?"
What it actually was like: "Kiss my a$$!"
a more literal translation would be "lick my rear"
It's these kinds of stories that remind me just how innovative mankind can be. I always laugh when people just assume that everyone was stupid back then or in ancient history. "No, there's no way! IT HAD TO BE ALIENS!"
I’m inclined to take Miura’s word for it. Since I’ve made characters who have had extremely suspicious similarities to other characters without knowing
There is a character Consistency across all folklore, tales, fables, mythology, fiction and religion. However there is no character Codex.
That is what I am working on.
Same here.
It got troubling at times, but I learned to get over it.
In Celtic mythology the King of the mythical Tuatha Dé Danann named Nuada loses his arm in battle and therefore has to retire his crown over Ireland. The new king Bres was tyrannical and after 7 years with the help of a doctor and a metalworker named Credne they fashioned Nuada a working arm of silver with which he led the Dananns into battle against Bres. They won and established dominance of Ireland for another 150 years but King Nuada was killed during the fighting. I mean guts wouldn’t have died but they’re pretty damn close
His story about losing a hand and retiring from his position reminds me of Tyr. Indo-European connection, I guess.
There is no coincidences, miura could heard of this knight but Just forget, but the idea was deep down in his head
Rip Kentaro Miura
It's an interesting coincidence. I have a friend who came up with a character who's a black samurai only to find out that there actually exist a black samurai and served Oda Nobunaga himself.
That anime they made for that historical figure is really shit.
I mean "black Samurai" is a lot more broad a concept than "mercenary with a prosthetic arm and a name that sounds almost identical to Guts". Now if your friends character had been named "Yosuke" or something like that, that would've been uncanny.
@@jonathanmarth6426 I don't think a black samurai is that broad of a concept. I can only count 1 aside from Yasuke.
@@Gat720Dua There's Huey Freeman, Kumano Jinzaemon and an anime literally called "Afro Samurai".
But by "broad" I don't necessarily mean "frequently seen". Samurai are the most well known warrior class except for knights. Making one of them black isn't very outlandish in terms of creativity. Historically of course Yasuke is very much outstanding.
@@jonathanmarth6426 Yeah Afro Samurai I was counting. Samurai's are famous but foreign Samurai's are rather rare and doesn't nearly get as much attention.
I'm here from Count Dankula's video, a lot of people seem to have the same sentiment.
The obvious parallel is ash from the evil dead who got his iron hand after he travels time to the middle ages. He also fights literal demons that haunt him and posses humans. Also mad max (not Kenshiro which is inspired by mad max, too), rudger hauer in flesh and blood, the rest of the evil dead movies and hellraiser.
Just imagine making a character with all these different traits, a certain ideology, and physical characteristics and then you find out "wow, they're are a LOT like Daniel Boon"
Life is just oh, so quaint
-burns down a couple of houses
-tells people to kiss his ass
-refuses to explain further
Extreme ultra chad
You know what Guts should grow a Beard
I kinda recall aside from hellraiser, evil dead's ash as also one of his inspirations which probably where the weaponized prosthetic idea came from
R.I.P. miura
"Raubritter Götz mit der eisernen Faust"
So well researched I had to subscribe
Although I believe to be yet another coincidence it's interesting to mention that *Griffith* shares a lot of similarities with *John Hawkwood* an English mercenary who fought in Italy under a griffon banner and used his wits to in the end obtain a small castle in Tuscany, in Italy he is known as *Giovanni Acuto*.
Maybe you could make a video about it.
Very interesting info. I always thought in my head (since its fantasy) that's Guts was like a half German half Japanese person haha
I would could relate to guts for the rage and scars and haunts my past
At 7:51, I think the English translation is erroneous. I'm pretty sure he was saying that he wasn't sure whether it was "synchronicity", and was not saying anything about shooting arrows.
At 8:19 What inspiration do you mention there? I can't find any sources on "Gwyn from Green Saga"
Guin saga
I notice that none of the historical sources are cited here anywhere in the video. Then I looked at the wikipedia page for this guy, and lo and behold, practically all the historical "facts" are paraphrased from there and the dubious external links.
I've never been so glad of being clickbaited.
What's the name of that medieval sounding music at 1:15?
I think Luke Skywalker & Guin have more inspirations towards Guts character. Remember that Miura was an avid Star Wars fan. He also likely inspired by his own previous works of King of Wolves (Isekai Genghis Khan).
i rly hope that someone will continue the manga...
I doubt it. Cause the author had the idea for berserk since he was a teenager.
Sometimes reality can prove to be just as or even more ridiculous than fiction
Learning of this theory and this knight through Berserk was a suprise. But a pleasant one.
Great video. If you believe in reincarnation, it's possible that Kentaro Miura lived in Germany around the same time as Gotz and even met him. Or possibly even was him. Or it could be pure coincidence. Either way it's pretty interesting, and thanks for making me aware of this man.
RIP Kentaro Miura.
Or he could have lied, which is much more likely.
@@FuckRUclipsAndGoogle for real lol reincarnation
meh, it would be more interesting if he was based on him, because now, when w can't have more information about guts we could read about Götz von Berlichingen of the Iron Hand to know more about guts.
Too "coincidental" to not at least be a reference, so the deceased author probably forgot. His word doesn't really disprove anything.
What were his inspirations?
Kenshiro, Jack and who?
Guin saga
And Cobra.
5:52 does anyone else think that the horse on the right side of the screen looks.......familiar?
John Hawkwood is this to Griffith
You could have just played that 25 second clip of kentaro instead of making a whole RUclips vid about this, felt like kinda a waste of time to sit through this video if there is absolutely no connection between Kentaros Guts and this historical dude.
Gotz lived to be 82 bc no earthly man could kill him
whenever i make a character it seems to be basrd off of a real person even though i had no idea the person exists and was so similar
im guessing it's just a product of making a good character i guess
we all know his biggest achievement in life was inventing KMA
It was actually the early Renaissance, not the Middle Ages as for similarity, and he was a mercenary, his famous slogan actually translates to "Lick my arse"
Now as to them as characters and real-life people, it was nothing else but a true case of coincidence, now Kentaro did see Arnold Schwarzenegger's Conan the Barbarian movie and got to read up on the character of Conan the Barbarian by Robert E. Howard with some other works in the realms of sword and sorcery, mythologies etc. so that is where he got it from,
An actual inspiration would be Darth Vader whose entire back story is based on Date Masamune, that guy is a real-life Shakespearean Greco-Roman character come to life, with black armor and brutality with all the tragedies,
Don't forget that Japan has an obsession with German stuff.. Because Prussia helped them develop their army back in the 19th century.
You see that in Anime all the time and.. AOT is based on Germany like the names, environment, Mythology and History. Even their Uniforms and rifles look German.
I think that Guts is based on Götz.. Even if the creator of berserk said it was an coincidence that they are so similar. Don't believe it.. They are waaaaay tooooo similar.
Rest In Peace Kentaro
I already knew Guts wasn’t based on the guy but I just wanted to see the video.
Some call it a coincidence but I call it Causality
iron hand, God hand Guts, Gotz this has to be based off of him for sure
we'll miss you Kentaro
Based and German-pilled
Into his 80's... during the 16th century... and coined the term "kiss my ass". I hope I'm related to this guy.
Beware the old man in a career of young men.
Holy shit this is basically where I live, that was unexpected
What is the background music?
Great little piece of history.
interesting, the polish edition of the manga explicitly says that guts was based on gotz in translator's notes, mentions the arm and all that
No he’s is the most tragic character in manga
what a beast !!! imagine living during these times!!
RIP KENTARO MIURA
Also.... Ash, evil Dead lmao which was also a coincidence
How the hell is he using a hand with fingers and joints if he didn't have a hand in the first place? did he control the fingers with his mind?
the fingers basically had locks so he could move them into positions depending on the task, be it using his sword or writing, after all it was his sword hand that was blown off
secret elf technology. joke off from historical sources it is said he could even write with it. it had a complex structure of feathers and and locks to move and lock the joint and fingers into place. here is a picture of his inner structure upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/G%C3%B6tz-eiserne-hand2.jpg , maybe not the greatest medieval invention by a nameless backwater village blacksmith but not the worst either.
what a fucking badass omfg
Thorfinn was based by Thorfinn the Viking
Yeah he's a replica of me
Another coincidence would be the evil dead movies
For all who ask themselfs how to pronounce ö or oe you shape your lips as if you want to pronounce o but actually say e
Seems that we often forget that Miura also took inspiration from Ash (Evil Dead) and that this same character got some inspiration from this historical figure for the third entry of the Evil Dead franchise. Even if it doesn't explain everything, this is where you can find some strong correlations.
Antonio bandéras , not bánderas lol. Isn't it?
The similarities are uncanny but Miura said that he didn't know anything about Götz when he created Gutz and that he was based on many inspirations like Guin and more interestingly Rutger Hauer in Flesh and Blood (The actor who played the Replicant in the final scene of Blade Runner)
twitter.com/DemiFiendRSA/status/1154103125201960960
Does anyone know the style of drawing in the middle of the video?
I think that Miura knew of Goetz, or at least heard of him. A fan of medieval times can stumble across numerous knights, and I think he did inspire from him.
He cited the manga bc they were collegues, but I think that the correlation is there.
But, this is just my human nature and and aspiring artist which talks: he still remains one of my favourite authors regardless of the origin of his inspiration.
I blame causality! It is a spiral!
Absolute chad
RIP
Why not just ask the author!
Oh wait....
Fckn legend
Isn’t the zweihander also of german?
funfact the zweihänder used during the time in the holy roman empire were around 1,70 m in lenght which is nearly as big as a man. when we take into account that former generations were not as big as today, maybe as long as a person
What accent is this?
No
