The kinds of people that believe media and stories can't or don't change someone's life in a meaningful or significant way, probably haven't experienced any good media or stories in their lives. Berserk definitely made me a better person and changed my attitude towards life back when I read it in high school. Back then I was maybe the worst person I have been in my entire life. The first volume of Berserk fell into the hands of a craven, selfish, ungrateful, frustrated, disenchanted teenager who needed to understand what real loss and hardship was. That old me thought stories couldn't put into detail the things I felt and give hopeful answers to questions I had. The characterization and development of Guts throughout Berserk is some of literatures best. Guts' life problems and sheer will to fight and overcome his demons for others put my past self's problems to shame. No matter who reads Berserk or when in time they read it they are guaranteed to walk away changed for the better. (Except if they're sheltered. Those kinds of people would probably get scarred for life and never finish the story.)
Something I just realized watching this is another thing that seperates Guts and Griffith; while Guts goes through the most terrible suffering imaginable, he continues to fight. But in this critical moment Griffith gives up, triggering the eclipse.
Actually it looks like to me that he hasn't given up. He wanted to kill himself but he couldn't go through with it which is why he's frustrated. He's still clinging to some kind of hope but he doesn't know what it is until the eclipse triggers.
@@mystermuffz8850 he was reminded of what his life goal is and what he has done to progress (mountain of corpse). The God's Hand reminded him of what he truly is
The main difference isn't even he gives up its he gives up others for himself guts tears him self apart he always drags more and more out of himself to win
seeing griffith’s fall and descent into becoming femto is still hard to watch, even if i do hate him for what he did to the band of the hawk. his arc is on par with guts
Griffith and Guts suffered equally but Griffith didn't have the tolerance that Guts had. He was an extremely ambitious person so it broke him to see himself and his dream to fall apart from such a high grace. Unlike Guts, who has none to speak of. The Duality here is something else
People argue about wether guts or Griffiths suffering was worse, but people don’t realize that suffering cannot be measured, it’s an emotion and the strength of emotion is determined by the person before the stimuli It’s possible that either one suffered more than the other

While reading Berserk I realized something. Since his birth, Guts was going through traumatizing stuff left and right and much like Griffith couldn't really open up. But unlike Griffith, Guts was able to find comfort in the band of the hawk and was able to open up to Casca. It was the first time he actually talks about his past trauma and kinda works through it which makes us and Casca think that this is a flawed but great man. The same can't be said about Griffith. We see Griffith as this god that always has a plan and while he does some questionable stuff never really struggles. But we see that the stuff he does for his dream does affect him. He, also. has struggles and insecurities but unlike Guts he can't open up about it to anyone. When he almost opens up to Casca, he realizes Casca isn't really comforting him rather she wants to see that perfect god that never struggles so he switches back to his persona. He dealt with everything by himself. That is until Guts left. Guts was the person he got closest to. He was the only person that could make him forget about his obsession he calls a dream. So, him leaving was devastating since the one person he was kinda opening up to left. This is something he wasn't able to deal with alone. Now, he really has nowhere to go. Guts left and everyone (even the band of the hawk) see him leagues above them and unapproachable. So, there really is no one there to comfort him. So, in this broken state of mind, he goes to princess charlotte to find comfort but he makes a mistake and gives in to lust and pleasure. When he tries to leave and gets cornered that's when I realized something. Not only the characters but even we as an audience held him in that god stature. Cause I and many others thought that he had a plan and he could get out easily. We all thought he couldn't make a mistake. That he wasn't human. To him even beings in a higher dimension (us) thought he was a god. I thought that even after a year of torture he would be alright. I even thought that that man with a broken man and body wasn't Griffith rather it was someoen else and he had a master plan. But we were wrong. He was human. He made a mistake and that costed him his mind and body. All of our images of Griffith shattered instantly. Now, we could only look on with sadness and pity that this once god that could take back a kingdom with a few soldiers is now in this broken state unable to walk, talk, eat or do anything. Griffith saw that everyone looked at him with only pity and this broke him even more. That's why he ran away cause he didn't everyone to see him in this sorry state. He knew that he was just a sleeping corpse that was taking up food and medicine and that broke him even more. In this state, unable to do anything he tried to commit suicide. But he couldn't even do that. He was literally useless and in this desperate state he summons the godhand and does all those heinous acts. He hated Guts at that time cause he saw that Guts got comfort from Casca. Something he didn't get. In his absolute lowest, without receiving the help he needed, he turns into a monster. The same can also be said for Guts. After, the eclipse, Guts got consumed by hatred and he abandoned Casca and was slowly turning into a monster little by little. In the same way Griffith broke under immense pressure, Guts was also breaking. This spiraled into Guts getting possessed and hurting Casca, forever ruining their relationship. But unlike Guts, other people were there to help him. Puck helped him to start opening up. Shierke literally saved him from becoming a monster. Farnesse took a lot of the burden off of his shoulder. So, he was able to keep struggling and kinda found peace. What I'm trying to say that, humans aren't perfect. We constantly make mistakes and stupid decisions. Every one of us can and will break given the right amount of pressure. That is why we are social creatures. Together, we can go through the darkest nights. Humanity's greatest enemy is loneliness. Griffith gave into his demons because of that while Guts was able to keep struggling because he had other people. We see people committing heinous stuff daily. We tend to ignore the fact that they were lonely and broken people that didn't get the right help. We never notice someone slowly breaking. We only see the aftermath. People commit suicide and suddenly people start coming out of the woodworks saying that they wish they could've helped. I gotta ask. Where were you when they were breaking? When they were crying themselves to sleep? When they couldn't find the strength to get up once again? Why was it that when they were looking at that noose they weren't second guessing themselves thinking about you? We need to be better. So, I say talk to the person sitting at the back saying nothing. Maybe they have just as much to say. Ask that kid that seems perfect and unapproachable. Maybe he's also breaking and can't find the help and comfort he needs at the moment. The only thing that can keep people from becoming monsters and doing heinous acts is the comfort that can be found from other humans. This is, at least, one way to interpret Kentaro Miura's masterpiece.
@KitchensAreHot It was implied during his torture that the king had zero intention of ever marrying his daughter to him. He was on a course to nowhere if he kept it up. It was what he suspected before his treason and the king pretty much confirmed it after the fact.
@@robertsides3626 im sure griffith wouldve killed the king then like what he did to the others, charlotte becomes queen accepts his proposal and hes able to fulfill his dream, it wasnt really a path of nowhere
People with a time machine: -"I'm your grandson" +"Really?" Berserk fans with a time machine: "Nooo Griffith don't fuck the princess" Edit: I made this comment before Kentaro Miura passed away. Of course Berserk fans, if they had a time machine, they would go tell him to go check his heart and circulatory system and take care of himself. Rest In Peace
@@ballsynigga9774 no, in a perfect world guts would have never abandoned his friends/family/griffith. Its understandable WHY he did it, but it would have never lead to griffith's depression. But yeah... you never know what you have until its gone and sometimes you need to leave on a journey to find yourself.
@@TheRobochicken5494 I think him abounding them was fine because he would have learned that his dream was to be with them and he would have came back. All of the fault lies within Griffith and how shtty of a guy he is. The only thing Griffith has is Charisma and Drive yes he is driving an empty vessel. That's why he liked Guts and envied him because Guts seemed to have a reason unlike Griffith who's only reason for living was pride. Gut's wanted to live because he's the main character. Plus Griffith just needed some patience but he has 0 virtue things were bound to go wrong were just lucky they didn't sooner. Mostly due to Gut's having a natural drive to be a good person unlike Griffith.

@@immentallyhandicapped2903 Griffith's fall from grace is always hard to watch because of what could have been between Guts and the band of the hawk. If only Griffith did not act on impulse he would not be tortured, mangled and crippled. the death of his ambitions is what ultimately lead to him becoming Femto and doing those acts. I just feel bad that he became the opposite of his former self. He use to be so cute and happy now look at him
It took a lot to break Griffith. And even then, the Godhand manipulated his decision further during the eclipse.. his life was perfectly set up for him to turn evil, even against his will. Remember you can only sacrifice people you love.. he loved his comrades, every single one
Yeah i see people saying he was always like that but his destiny needed him to be at his lowest in order to submit to the Godhand. Just like Zod said, “when his ambition crumbles, you will face your death”
@@playboykyo Yeah. Also, it directly had to be his choice. The Godhand could influence him and push him to do it, but he always had the power to tell them no.
The thing is any studio that picks it up will have to remove a lot of the content or shorten it. Berserk is not an story like other current and older anime’s. It’s definitely for mature audiences and I think studios wouldn’t want to make it if it didn’t give them ratings
@@painless_noiz5786 I know right. You look at him and remember how determined and motivated he was to achieve his dreams even though he came from nothing. But eclipse broke him and made me hate him but I still love him. Gosh!
Bruh I think that everyone on this planet would sacrifice everything they've ever had if they would be a crippled depressed mute vegetal who's about to die to become literally God
What fucks me up about this is when Griffith is weakly slamming his hands into the water. I don’t know why but that single moment made me cry. Wanting to end but not having the strength to do it. Bashing your hands against a surface that will never give or break. It just got to me in some strange way.
This moment shows his physical weakness, disability to fight and complete and sheer fall of his dream. He tries at least to express his despair and rage through punching the ground but even even it seems weak. (actually its even comic funny im sorry)
If you think this man your friend, know this: when you regard one another as brother, and this man's ambition crumbles, it is your destiny to face your death! You cannot escape your fate - Zodd The Immortal
I read the manga and never watched the anime adaptations but the added sound and emotions kicks it to the next level, i started tearing up. Rest in paradise Miura
Griffith never fell. He was always like that. Always on the search for power. Always willing to give away everything to be king. Guys wasn’t a friend he was a possession. He was the first person to tell Griffith “No” and get away with it. The God hand picks those who are destined for evil, not those who can be influenced.
@Patrick Carlos "I have a request, my friend." "Griffith, that's not like you, just give me an order like always." "Some dreams are like great storms... *some men spend their whole life honing their sword to perfection,* others..." etc, etc. I think it's clear he brought up his interpretation of Guts' dream to Charlotte there, and Guts pursuing martial perfection by Griffith's side allowed Griffith to see their dreams as compatible, as benefiting each-others' goals. "You cannot sacrifice him, Count. He's already been sacrificed. Besides, a sacrifice not of your flesh and blood(either emotionally or literally, as the Egg Apostle demonstrates is a fair interpretation) would be meaningless." The last thing Griffith visualizes prior to "This I Sacrifice" is himself and Guts side-by-side over the battlefield. So when we put those quotes and moments from Griffith's perspective together, what do we get?
Also, the Godhand does no such thing. God, who is still canon, does. God chose Griffith, no more no less. God of the Abyss (1) is still canon. God of the Abyss (2) is the one that was struck away from re-publications by sheer stupidity. The intent from Miura was to remove God from the story and he even failed at that. I guess Miura doesn't keep track of his own work very well.
@@heldermarcelo1015 Nah, but two chapters are named "God of the Abyss" so there's God of the Abyss (1) where Griffith asks the heart of the abyss "...God?" And God of the Abyss (2) where the two talk and God is named. (2) was removed from publications but "God" is still in the story, just unexplained... which is kinda worse, since the goal was to remove god from the story, not to make "God" unexplained. So the goal of removing the second part of God of the Abyss still remains unfulfilled, as God is still in the story and the second part of it isn't even technically non-canon either. Was that helpful?
Even though he is a bad person, you can’t look at him in this state and not think “damn this hurts to see” nothing he did was justifiable but man his fall and torture were gut wrenchingly painful to sit through.
It's not like Griffith wanted to lack the ability to ever fight again. However here's the difference between Griffith and guts in their struggling. Guts always was able to bounce back, he didn't lose the ability to move, speak, and take care of himself. If Griffith lost an arm and an eye he would've carried on. This is an example of two very similar characters, dealt different hands, and it's so interesting to see how their paths branch off from each other when dealt said hands. Berserk is a masterpiece.
I guess all that torture really got to his mind..I couldn't imagine how I would've felt if I was tied up, had long sharp, extremely hot spears stabbed into me over and over, then stuck into an isolated room for an entire year. I would've broken far before he did. And it's hard to blame him for wanting that power, after experiencing that, even though it turned him evil.
I feel so damn bad for Griffith before he became Femto. If only Guts had known he was the exception to Griffiths philosophy, which was probably BS anyways, its truly sad what happened between them.
man I still keep coming back to this edit lol, it truly incapsulates the feeling of berserk in my eyes. When I watch all the ones that are just the simplistic rock or rap or that of the like it just doesn't feel like the deeper feelings berserk gives off. It isn't about intense energy and extreme combat, those are just the highlights the distractions. In my own eyes Berserk is gives more of a somber and heartbreaking feeling, like no matter what you do life will still find a way to make you struggle and it is always your decision to fight against it or not. This edit incapsulates this feeling in just 51 seconds, hell the most recent berserk edit you've done does the same. keep it up bro, I'd say your definitely chilling in the stars with these even if they dont have the attention they deserve
Holy fucking shit dude. I reluctantly clicked on this expecting some cringy, tonally deaf fan-edit (that's how most fanedits are) and I got the most professional, emotive and just stunning thing ever. Even if it is quite emotional, I feel like your video has such restraint and fantastic timing, that it doesn't feel overdramatic at all. In fact it feels very mature, like a perfect representation of how Berserk should be edited. TL:DR This is really impressive and I hope you get to direct/edit your own film some day.
Forever in our heart's , Mirua Sensei, you taught me a lot stuff from Berserk which i couldn't even learn from book's and from school , arigato and rest in peace . Legend
i remember when this first randomly popped up on my suggestions, i hadn't thought it would be such an AMAZING edit due to the title. (just all undercase, looking like a random bunches by the million amv) but it was so provoking that i still keep coming back... at that time, it didn't have a lot of views. to see it climb to nearly 1,000,000 is one hell of a righteous accomplishment. this deserved all the attention.
Guts can´t understand Griffith pain, it´s different. Imagine sacrifice everything for a dream, see your most loved ones die for just your ego, and then just for a bad decision in your whole life see that hard work, that dream, that hope fall.
Jesus I need to take a break and pause because just watching this made me realize how depressing it is to watch Griffith, A man of such power fall to so low Standards, I need to to hug somebody
I always felt kind of bad for griffith. You can see the regret inside of him. There came a point when he had no control fo what happened to his fate because he could never go back. And as someone whose made a lot of bad life decision i kind of get it.
This makes me unmeasurably sad, I can't forgive Griffith for what he did to his Friends, but I can recognize that he's also a victim. Thank you, Miura.
@@squarelover01at that point griffint Is dead and there Is only femto Calling femton griffint Is like saying the dark dog of Guts that suggest Guts to r@pe casca Is Guts
Guts is the only human being who sees the world for what it truly is, I beleive im on my 5th round of reading the entire berserk series, This manga is truly a Blessing
Somehow in the world of Berserk, Griffith seems to someone with dreams so big, his first priority. For Griffith, his dreams were everything, he only worked for his dreams and nothing else. That's when he came across Guts who became his sole equal. Guts becomes his second most desired priority, a friend, an equal. But when he lost Guts to the same thing he desires most, he went feral and broken down entirely. And right after this, he cancelled out all rational thinking and went for the first thing that came in his vision ( the princess ). Now whatever happened after this, the whole year of torture, and ending of his dreams entirely, this man was lost and scattered and devoid of any directions. And when Guts, and the Band of Hawk revived him and he saw how everything was happily built outside of him, i think that was his last straw. He went beyond himself and gave up to his desires and granted for the most gruesome wish ( sacrificing Guts and the Band of Hawk ). With his dreams gone forever, Guts became his next target to get obsessed over. Whatever he did after was absolutely wrong and it was ruined it all. Griffith had a dream to rule his capital with his best pal Guts. Femto had a dream to destroy everything he doesn't have, Guts. Both of them suffered. But what Griffith did can never be reversed.
it's easy to forget how we fell in love with Griffith's character after witnessing the eclipse and how he acted in the Blackswordsman and Fantasia arcs
I cried not because i feel bad for him, i cried because i loved griffith a lot but it had to change for what he did. I miss seeing him just like that, smiling and being just like any other human being. Too bad this is berserk, I won't be seeing him like that anymore
He was made to become Femto, however through some scenes we can see what else he could've been. A great general for midland. A genuine friend for Guts, the only one to ever make him forget his dream. But now he's nothing but a monster
Honestly if I were in the same situation as Griffith, after years (I don’t remember how long) of torture, forced into the life of a cripple, I kinda get why he did it all. Any human would give up by that point, fall into despair and search for anything and everything to get out of it. Human nature. Actually any rational human, guts is just insane lmao
in the manga, I didn't really felt everything when Griffith was slowly descending into madness and becoming Femto. But in the anime, the cry, and the torture he had was heart wrenching. I hate berserk 2016, but this is an exception.
Okay but hear me out. Griffith is a human, he has his flaws like everyone else. However, in the world of Berserk he seems to be the only one with a dream. I mean a big, powerful, and concrete dream. A dream big enough to gather embers together to form the band. He made one mistake in the height of his emotions and that cost him everything. One mistake made by one man. One human. One feeling. It makes perfect sense that when given the opportunity to throw away his feelings and humanity Griffith accepts.
It was a pretty big mistake and it was multiple. Waging wars, raping casca, causing another eclipse to attain a human form, this isn't "one mistake". Even if it was, he's shown no remorse. Many characters in berserks have big dreams, the elf/wasp girl, skull knight, the apostle genishka's dream is identical to Griffith's - wanting to be a ruler isn't unique. The reasons for his dream are also seemingly vain rather than altruistic, which makes his sacrifices for it even more evil. I get you're trying to say the circumstances made it possible for griffith to choose godhood, but you're really stretching the phrase "everybody makes mistakes".
@@nimahanna1709 We can agree to disagree, I'm not really here to go back and forth on the RUclips comments but I'll just clarify some of my points. 1. Sure, other characters may have "dreams" but most of that is post-eclipse. For the reader/viewer Griffith's goal/dream is really the only one we get to see. Besides, Skull Knight doesn't really have a dream, he's on full revenge mode. 2. The mistake Griffith makes is sleeping with Charlotte. That's it, up until that point he was 100% in the right. He did what he needed to do. Participating in wars isn't a negative trait, it's simply what you do in times of war. They were mercenaries turned knights, not a band of ravaging bandits. There was honor in what they did. 3. Genishka's dream wasn't power, it was to rule by fear. In the flashback we get we see how his father was betrayed and since he's the one that betrayed his own father he lived the rest of his life afraid of betrayal. Griffith, on the other hand, grew up as a commoner, poor, probably an orphan. His goal was to become a king to, seemingly, help people and prosper. Once he achieves Falconia through Fantasia he immediately takes the role of a benevolent king. Everything he does after Fantasia has been neutral at worst. It might all be an act for Charlotte and the Pope but he has been nothing but a great leader and ruler. It's possible that in a timeline without the first eclipse Griffith could've ruled Midland in a similar way.
@@juangutierrez7277 you ignored casca's rape in your romanticization of Griffith. It's ok, his power is compelled admiration. The phrase quality vs quantity comes to mind. Even if you think his only mistake pre-eclipse was sleeping with charlotte, there isn't really a worse crime he could commit in those times, it was the most dishonorable thing he could have done for the kingdom besides all out mutiny.
@@nimahanna1709 Griffith wasn’t a good person and made many mistakes. Although he raped casca only after he gave up his humanity and turned into femto.
@@foreversent7510 I think vague phrases that can describe anyone such as "he wasn't a good person" and "he has flaws like everyone else" serve to minimize a persons faults to make them seem more relatable, even admirable. For me there's a line for certain actions where I don't consider it a simple "flaw" or "mistake", its more grievous than that. Even though he raped casca after he gave up his humanity, I'm sure he still knew it was wrong even if he lacked the capacity for remorse. I know this because in his kingdom he tries to do right things like create universal education, so he can still make the distinction between good and evil - though we're still unsure of his true motivations.
It’s so sad to see a once proud knight just beating around and crying in shallow after remembering what he once or could’ve has. Actually some depressing stuff
Bro how much I hate Griffith for all of the wrong he makes along the way but damn, deep inside my heart i want Griffith to comeback to his early days, I Miss the old Griffith so much 😔
0:00 the beginning with all the laughs and ambient sweet melody to suddenly this 0:11 ... Really hurts despite my hate for him, nice edit because it's simple. I usually don't bother clicking on edits because it's always loud and flashy.
I know he did a bad thing by sacrificing his friends but i don't hate him cause they know that he doesn't care about them but they still follow him and they love him even though they know he can sacrifice anything to reach his dream so it's their fault i think. But i still kinda like him
There's something very uncomfortable about seeing someone like Griffith who was bubbling pride and confidence doing a complete one eighty and sunk so low. It's hard to watch and it's hard for me not to pity him. I'm not justifying what he did by any means, but I can't help but feel like he wasn't just some empty monster. If only things have gone different. I think Guts and Griffith are complete contrast to each other, and one of those is the fact that Guts is someone who knew how to grow from pain while Griffith didn't, unfortunately.

But he couldn't even do that. He was literally useless and in this desperate state he summons the godhand and does all those heinous acts. He hated Guts at that time cause he saw that Guts got comfort from Casca. Something he didn't get. In his absolute lowest, without receiving the help he needed, he turns into a monster.
The same can also be said for Guts. After, the eclipse, Guts got consumed by hatred and he abandoned Casca and was slowly turning into a monster little by little. In the same way Griffith broke under immense pressure, Guts was also breaking. This spiraled into Guts getting possessed and hurting Casca, forever ruining their relationship. But unlike Guts, other people were there to help him. Puck helped him to start opening up. Shierke literally saved him from becoming a monster. Farnesse took a lot of the burden off of his shoulder. So, he was able to keep struggling and kinda found peace.
What I'm trying to say that, humans aren't perfect. We constantly make mistakes and stupid decisions. Every one of us can and will break given the right amount of pressure. That is why we are social creatures. Together, we can go through the darkest nights. Humanity's greatest enemy is loneliness. Griffith gave into his demons because of that while Guts was able to keep struggling because he had other people. We see people committing heinous stuff daily. We tend to ignore the fact that they were lonely and broken people that didn't get the right help. We never notice someone slowly breaking. We only see the aftermath. People commit suicide and suddenly people start coming out of the woodworks saying that they wish they could've helped. I gotta ask. Where were you when they were breaking? When they were crying themselves to sleep? When they couldn't find the strength to get up once again? Why was it that when they were looking at that noose they weren't second guessing themselves thinking about you? We need to be better. So, I say talk to the person sitting at the back saying nothing. Maybe they have just as much to say. Ask that kid that seems perfect and unapproachable. Maybe he's also breaking and can't find the help and comfort he needs at the moment. The only thing that can keep people from becoming monsters and doing heinous acts is the comfort that can be found from other humans. This is, at least, one way to interpret Kentaro Miura's masterpiece.
fucking amazing bro
Honestly dont know much about Berserk but damn i can just tell that the way you interpreted it was the best moral way. Awesome comment.
Criminally underrated comment. Thank you for the words of wisdom random stranger!
Woah. Well said man what an interpretation. 💚
Insanely beautiful comment bro
I remember reading berserk for the first time and when he was caught with the princess, I really thought it was all apart of his plan...I was wrong
Yeah and each time he goes to war he can hire his old friend guts.
Everything is within the law of causality
@KitchensAreHot It was implied during his torture that the king had zero intention of ever marrying his daughter to him. He was on a course to nowhere if he kept it up. It was what he suspected before his treason and the king pretty much confirmed it after the fact.
@@robertsides3626 im sure griffith wouldve killed the king then like what he did to the others, charlotte becomes queen accepts his proposal and hes able to fulfill his dream, it wasnt really a path of nowhere
Yeah. I was really surprised when I realized he didn't have things in control
"Rome wasn't built in a day, but it burned in one."
And Griffith, you surely made one hell of a fire.
People with a time machine:
-"I'm your grandson"
+"Really?"
Berserk fans with a time machine: "Nooo Griffith don't fuck the princess"
Edit: I made this comment before Kentaro Miura passed away. Of course Berserk fans, if they had a time machine, they would go tell him to go check his heart and circulatory system and take care of himself. Rest In Peace
also, "Guts, please just fuck Griffith once so that he can get over you. The fate of the entire world depends on you doing this. PLEASE"
Real berserk fans : Guts dont leave Griffith
Real guts fan guts kill Griffiths
@@ballsynigga9774 no, in a perfect world guts would have never abandoned his friends/family/griffith. Its understandable WHY he did it, but it would have never lead to griffith's depression. But yeah... you never know what you have until its gone and sometimes you need to leave on a journey to find yourself.
@@TheRobochicken5494 I think him abounding them was fine because he would have learned that his dream was to be with them and he would have came back. All of the fault lies within Griffith and how shtty of a guy he is. The only thing Griffith has is Charisma and Drive yes he is driving an empty vessel. That's why he liked Guts and envied him because Guts seemed to have a reason unlike Griffith who's only reason for living was pride. Gut's wanted to live because he's the main character. Plus Griffith just needed some patience but he has 0 virtue things were bound to go wrong were just lucky they didn't sooner. Mostly due to Gut's having a natural drive to be a good person unlike Griffith.
Idk why but it’s almost heart wrenching to see a man as high of stature as Griffith to be at his lowest and crying.

@@oscarthegrouch9416 are you implying that femto and griffith are different entities? If so, then you're wrong.
@@immentallyhandicapped2903 Griffith's fall from grace is always hard to watch because of what could have been between Guts and the band of the hawk.

I just feel bad that he became the opposite of his former self. He use to be so cute and happy now look at him
It took a lot to break Griffith. And even then, the Godhand manipulated his decision further during the eclipse.. his life was perfectly set up for him to turn evil, even against his will. Remember you can only sacrifice people you love.. he loved his comrades, every single one
Yeah i see people saying he was always like that but his destiny needed him to be at his lowest in order to submit to the Godhand. Just like Zod said, “when his ambition crumbles, you will face your death”
@@playboykyo Yeah. Also, it directly had to be his choice. The Godhand could influence him and push him to do it, but he always had the power to tell them no.

we may see him smiling but not "really" smiling

The thing is any studio that picks it up will have to remove a lot of the content or shorten it. Berserk is not an story like other current and older anime’s. It’s definitely for mature audiences and I think studios wouldn’t want to make it if it didn’t give them ratings

God it’s heart wrenching to see a man with huge goals, that were so close. Fall to the lowest he’s ever been and give up.
What fucks me up about this is when Griffith is weakly slamming his hands into the water. I don’t know why but that single moment made me cry.
Wanting to end but not having the strength to do it. Bashing your hands against a surface that will never give or break.
It just got to me in some strange way.
That as an amazingly poetic and tragic detail I've missed. Thank you, bro
This moment shows his physical weakness, disability to fight and complete and sheer fall of his dream. He tries at least to express his despair and rage through punching the ground but even even it seems weak. (actually its even comic funny im sorry)
It’s the little screams when he hits the water that gets me
Soooo frail
Its because he came from absolute power, to being so weak he couldnt even kill himself if he wanted to.

So the Manga won't ever be finished?
I read the manga and never watched the anime adaptations but the added sound and emotions kicks it to the next level, i started tearing up. Rest in paradise Miura
Griffith never fell. He was always like that. Always on the search for power. Always willing to give away everything to be king. Guys wasn’t a friend he was a possession. He was the first person to tell Griffith “No” and get away with it. The God hand picks those who are destined for evil, not those who can be influenced.
@Patrick Carlos
"I have a request, my friend."
"Griffith, that's not like you, just give me an order like always."
"Some dreams are like great storms... *some men spend their whole life honing their sword to perfection,* others..." etc, etc.
I think it's clear he brought up his interpretation of Guts' dream to Charlotte there, and Guts pursuing martial perfection by Griffith's side allowed Griffith to see their dreams as compatible, as benefiting each-others' goals.
"You cannot sacrifice him, Count. He's already been sacrificed. Besides, a sacrifice not of your flesh and blood(either emotionally or literally, as the Egg Apostle demonstrates is a fair interpretation) would be meaningless."
The last thing Griffith visualizes prior to "This I Sacrifice" is himself and Guts side-by-side over the battlefield.
So when we put those quotes and moments from Griffith's perspective together, what do we get?
Also, the Godhand does no such thing. God, who is still canon, does. God chose Griffith, no more no less.
God of the Abyss (1) is still canon. God of the Abyss (2) is the one that was struck away from re-publications by sheer stupidity. The intent from Miura was to remove God from the story and he even failed at that. I guess Miura doesn't keep track of his own work very well.
@@elelyon431 there are two gods ? Could you explain please
@@heldermarcelo1015 Nah, but two chapters are named "God of the Abyss" so there's God of the Abyss (1) where Griffith asks the heart of the abyss "...God?"
And God of the Abyss (2) where the two talk and God is named. (2) was removed from publications but "God" is still in the story, just unexplained... which is kinda worse, since the goal was to remove god from the story, not to make "God" unexplained. So the goal of removing the second part of God of the Abyss still remains unfulfilled, as God is still in the story and the second part of it isn't even technically non-canon either.
Was that helpful?

C'est la voix du seiyu Takahiro Sakurai j'adore cette voix elle est magnifique 😍
I absolutely love this. It captures his pain so well
Even though he is a bad person, you can’t look at him in this state and not think “damn this hurts to see” nothing he did was justifiable but man his fall and torture were gut wrenchingly painful to sit through.
It's not like Griffith wanted to lack the ability to ever fight again. However here's the difference between Griffith and guts in their struggling. Guts always was able to bounce back, he didn't lose the ability to move, speak, and take care of himself. If Griffith lost an arm and an eye he would've carried on. This is an example of two very similar characters, dealt different hands, and it's so interesting to see how their paths branch off from each other when dealt said hands. Berserk is a masterpiece.
Tru, he lost literally everything and was at his lowest. Sad shit honestly
This clip just kicked me so hard in the heart that i will watch the whole series now
I guess all that torture really got to his mind..I couldn't imagine how I would've felt if I was tied up, had long sharp, extremely hot spears stabbed into me over and over, then stuck into an isolated room for an entire year. I would've broken far before he did. And it's hard to blame him for wanting that power, after experiencing that, even though it turned him evil.
Such a good edit!
Every one say Griffith was born different but he was also a child just like others
I feel so damn bad for Griffith before he became Femto. If only Guts had known he was the exception to Griffiths philosophy, which was probably BS anyways, its truly sad what happened between them.
man I still keep coming back to this edit lol, it truly incapsulates the feeling of berserk in my eyes. When I watch all the ones that are just the simplistic rock or rap or that of the like it just doesn't feel like the deeper feelings berserk gives off. It isn't about intense energy and extreme combat, those are just the highlights the distractions. In my own eyes Berserk is gives more of a somber and heartbreaking feeling, like no matter what you do life will still find a way to make you struggle and it is always your decision to fight against it or not. This edit incapsulates this feeling in just 51 seconds, hell the most recent berserk edit you've done does the same. keep it up bro, I'd say your definitely chilling in the stars with these even if they dont have the attention they deserve
RUclips keeps recommending me sad Berserk videos after Miura's death and I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad.
Same.
I'm in love with this video. It really captures the profound story of Berserk. Beautifully done.

It's weird how I hate Griffith but at the same time I feel bad for him. That's good writing right there
Holy fucking shit dude.
I reluctantly clicked on this expecting some cringy, tonally deaf fan-edit (that's how most fanedits are) and I got the most professional, emotive and just stunning thing ever. Even if it is quite emotional, I feel like your video has such restraint and fantastic timing, that it doesn't feel overdramatic at all. In fact it feels very mature, like a perfect representation of how Berserk should be edited.

Guts can´t understand Griffith pain, it´s different. Imagine sacrifice everything for a dream, see your most loved ones die for just your ego, and then just for a bad decision in your whole life see that hard work, that dream, that hope fall.
Jesus I need to take a break and pause because just watching this made me realize how depressing it is to watch Griffith, A man of such power fall to so low Standards, I need to to hug somebody
I always felt kind of bad for griffith. You can see the regret inside of him. There came a point when he had no control fo what happened to his fate because he could never go back. And as someone whose made a lot of bad life decision i kind of get it.
This makes me unmeasurably sad, I can't forgive Griffith for what he did to his Friends, but I can recognize that he's also a victim.
Thank you, Miura.
This is beautiful and sad
Everybody hates Griffith because they know deep down they'd do the same if offered the same chance as him.
Though I don't think it was necessary to force Guts to watch him rape his gf.
At least he could have apologized to Guts when he met him after the eclipse. Griffith just doesn't give a fuck that's why everyone hate him

Bro that hit hurt😢😢😢😢
it is what it-
*CAUSALITY*
Somehow in the world of Berserk, Griffith seems to someone with dreams so big, his first priority. For Griffith, his dreams were everything, he only worked for his dreams and nothing else. That's when he came across Guts who became his sole equal. Guts becomes his second most desired priority, a friend, an equal. But when he lost Guts to the same thing he desires most, he went feral and broken down entirely. And right after this, he cancelled out all rational thinking and went for the first thing that came in his vision ( the princess ). Now whatever happened after this, the whole year of torture, and ending of his dreams entirely, this man was lost and scattered and devoid of any directions. And when Guts, and the Band of Hawk revived him and he saw how everything was happily built outside of him, i think that was his last straw. He went beyond himself and gave up to his desires and granted for the most gruesome wish ( sacrificing Guts and the Band of Hawk ). With his dreams gone forever, Guts became his next target to get obsessed over. Whatever he did after was absolutely wrong and it was ruined it all.
Griffith had a dream to rule his capital with his best pal Guts.
Femto had a dream to destroy everything he doesn't have, Guts.
Both of them suffered. But what Griffith did can never be reversed.
The editing on this was so beautifully done... :OOO
I’m here after receiving the news that Miura has passed away, and now i’m in more sadness
it's easy to forget how we fell in love with Griffith's character after witnessing the eclipse and how he acted in the Blackswordsman and Fantasia arcs

Not strength. Fate
He was made to become Femto, however through some scenes we can see what else he could've been. A great general for midland. A genuine friend for Guts, the only one to ever make him forget his dream. But now he's nothing but a monster
Dude is rockin the Elden Ring prisoner fit
Ohhh this hit right in the feels.
I want a 10 hours version of this so i can watch this over and over again every time i got sad
Honestly if I were in the same situation as Griffith, after years (I don’t remember how long) of torture, forced into the life of a cripple, I kinda get why he did it all. Any human would give up by that point, fall into despair and search for anything and everything to get out of it. Human nature.
Actually any rational human, guts is just insane lmao
in the manga, I didn't really felt everything when Griffith was slowly descending into madness and becoming Femto. But in the anime, the cry, and the torture he had was heart wrenching. I hate berserk 2016, but this is an exception.
This is berserk 2012
@@Iaxis_2408 oh well dat shit gooood
Okay but hear me out. Griffith is a human, he has his flaws like everyone else. However, in the world of Berserk he seems to be the only one with a dream. I mean a big, powerful, and concrete dream. A dream big enough to gather embers together to form the band.
He made one mistake in the height of his emotions and that cost him everything. One mistake made by one man. One human. One feeling.
It makes perfect sense that when given the opportunity to throw away his feelings and humanity Griffith accepts.
It was a pretty big mistake and it was multiple. Waging wars, raping casca, causing another eclipse to attain a human form, this isn't "one mistake". Even if it was, he's shown no remorse.
Many characters in berserks have big dreams, the elf/wasp girl, skull knight, the apostle genishka's dream is identical to Griffith's - wanting to be a ruler isn't unique. The reasons for his dream are also seemingly vain rather than altruistic, which makes his sacrifices for it even more evil.
I get you're trying to say the circumstances made it possible for griffith to choose godhood, but you're really stretching the phrase "everybody makes mistakes".
@@nimahanna1709 We can agree to disagree, I'm not really here to go back and forth on the RUclips comments but I'll just clarify some of my points.
1. Sure, other characters may have "dreams" but most of that is post-eclipse. For the reader/viewer Griffith's goal/dream is really the only one we get to see. Besides, Skull Knight doesn't really have a dream, he's on full revenge mode.
2. The mistake Griffith makes is sleeping with Charlotte. That's it, up until that point he was 100% in the right. He did what he needed to do. Participating in wars isn't a negative trait, it's simply what you do in times of war. They were mercenaries turned knights, not a band of ravaging bandits. There was honor in what they did.
3. Genishka's dream wasn't power, it was to rule by fear. In the flashback we get we see how his father was betrayed and since he's the one that betrayed his own father he lived the rest of his life afraid of betrayal. Griffith, on the other hand, grew up as a commoner, poor, probably an orphan. His goal was to become a king to, seemingly, help people and prosper. Once he achieves Falconia through Fantasia he immediately takes the role of a benevolent king. Everything he does after Fantasia has been neutral at worst. It might all be an act for Charlotte and the Pope but he has been nothing but a great leader and ruler. It's possible that in a timeline without the first eclipse Griffith could've ruled Midland in a similar way.
@@juangutierrez7277 you ignored casca's rape in your romanticization of Griffith. It's ok, his power is compelled admiration.
The phrase quality vs quantity comes to mind. Even if you think his only mistake pre-eclipse was sleeping with charlotte, there isn't really a worse crime he could commit in those times, it was the most dishonorable thing he could have done for the kingdom besides all out mutiny.
@@nimahanna1709 Griffith wasn’t a good person and made many mistakes. Although he raped casca only after he gave up his humanity and turned into femto.
@@foreversent7510 I think vague phrases that can describe anyone such as "he wasn't a good person" and "he has flaws like everyone else" serve to minimize a persons faults to make them seem more relatable, even admirable.
For me there's a line for certain actions where I don't consider it a simple "flaw" or "mistake", its more grievous than that.
Even though he raped casca after he gave up his humanity, I'm sure he still knew it was wrong even if he lacked the capacity for remorse. I know this because in his kingdom he tries to do right things like create universal education, so he can still make the distinction between good and evil - though we're still unsure of his true motivations.
Rip Miura his struggling has come to an end

People who don't know: "Wow.... She's smoking hot".
People who know: "I hate him with every singular atom of my being".
I know he did a bad thing by sacrificing his friends but i don't hate him cause they know that he doesn't care about them but they still follow him and they love him even though they know he can sacrifice anything to reach his dream so it's their fault i think. But i still kinda like him
Watching this animated gives me a entirely different perspective about Griffith.
Shipping Feral and Griffith is my daily thing ;3
Saddest thing is realisation that Griffith soul and humanity could have been saved.
You aint making me gain any empathy for griffith.
How come this looks really amazing, yet the rest of 2016 was nightmares
There's something very uncomfortable about seeing someone like Griffith who was bubbling pride and confidence doing a complete one eighty and sunk so low. It's hard to watch and it's hard for me not to pity him. I'm not justifying what he did by any means, but I can't help but feel like he wasn't just some empty monster. If only things have gone different. I think Guts and Griffith are complete contrast to each other, and one of those is the fact that Guts is someone who knew how to grow from pain while Griffith didn't, unfortunately.
Yes it really hurts me seeing him pout in the water
Yea like a spoiled child, felt good watching him fall ngl
I wish I could read Berserk with a fresh memory so that I could be reminded how painful this was.
Alright, this sold me. I’m going to give this series a fair shot. Can’t stop watching this.
