Gut’s sheer will to live and to keep his humanity through the worst things imaginable is definitely inspirational.
He does slap demon cheeks, but regardless the way he never gives up is very inspiring.
He also claps them too
He slapped em? 😮
@@Nozoroth Slaps, claps, bongo drums those motherfuckers like it's Sabbatians song to Disney's little mermaid bro.
@@Nozoroth and Casca's too
@@VampireA1056 that was funny how he slapped her butt lol. I’m surprised casca didn’t try to kill guts for that
Guts is the same kind of role model a really troubled dad is. He's got PTSD beyond moral comprehension, he was SA'd as a child, and was a child solider. This man has literally been broken since day 1. However like a very troubled father, he's grown for those he loves, for his family. I'd say Guts is one of the most real protagonist in all of fiction, on the same grounding of Shinji from NGE.
See that's a good lesson, guts and casca are basically 2 big examples of how PTSD can effect you,
Shinji is a weak beach
He’s like a Greek hero.
Like most characters, you can take and admire the good things they bring and discard the bad. Almost all Berserk fans are inspired by Guts perseverance, resiliency, and tenacity he shows when dealing with any kind of conflict in the manga. We don’t like it when he’s cold and disregards others for the sake of his own goal, however he has long moved on from those days. With that being said, Guts is without a doubt a role model, anyone who reads berserk can definitely feel motivated from his ability to adapt and overcome his trauma, adversity and problems he faces.
imho, i loved his black swordsman phase. it shows that everyone can change, regardless of origin
You don’t discard the bad. You understand the bad. You understand the character’s journey, and when you do wrong, you learn how the role model came to the crossroads and why he choose the wrong path. Understanding the bad is almost as important as admiring the good.
The Beast of Darkness specifically is something I've used as motivation. The absolute worst thing Guts could become, a being lacking humanity who's only goal is murder, mayhem, and misery, is inherently human. We all have that dark side that preys on our insecurities like a dog for scraps, waiting for the slightest advantage to rip us off of the proper path. Guts' drive to beat the beast back, understanding that although it claims to know him, it isn't him.
The worst aspects of ourselves, can be beaten with something far larger than a slab of raw iron, and that's our humanity.
I was addicted to drugs from the time I was 19 until 30.. I'm 32 now and I'm going on 2 years clean. After I had quit I had no trust in anyone, I had to completely change who I spoke to and was super picky about who I would let be around me. I also went countless nights without sleep and it nearly drove me insane..wanting to sleep but not being able to because I was fighting demons by myself all night when I didn't have money or couldn't get anything. Feeling sick, depressed, driving out and losing everyone that was ever important to me because i was constantly giving in to my own beast of darkness. That was my abyss..and that was my armor that kept me going through everyday. Even tho behind my armor I was bleeding and wanting to die...I still got up everyday and kept going knowing the odds were against me.
k.m. made it so easy to relate to guts, anyone can apply this to any personal struggle they are going through themselves, so then it stops being just a story and starts being a struggle you feel like you've lived through with him .I will forever love this manga for all the happy , sad, Angry and inspiring tears it's brought me. As fantastical as it is, it's about as close you'll get to a real life story 🖤
He's a role model and cautionary example of how choices can either make or break us in life. For me the two that stick with me are perseverance in the face of adversity and discerning who to trust.
At this point in his journey yes. Guts has reached a point of maturity in his journey. He's mostly worked through his worst character traits. This might be an odd comparison however Zuko's journey in Avatar somewhat reminds me of Guts at least on a thematic level. Zuko starts out obsessed with a single goal to his own detriment who over time is able to mature and come to terms with himself.
I do have to say his ability to change and persist is something everyone should aspire for
I'm gonna have to say yeah, he's a decent role model. Sure he fucks up, but he learns from it. Once he has a goal, no matter how big or small, he doesn't give up on it. He's a very human character that's constantly changing. The only thing consistent in life is change, and he kind of embraces that fact. He tries his best no matter what, and will/has gone to the ends of the Earth for his loved ones. Sure one could say all kinds of negative things about him, but to me, the positives far out weigh the negatives.
Theres one thing I learned from Guts. Struggle.
Berserk is about staying sane and remembering what you fought for and loved, even when the world puts you in the dirt
Of course he’s a role model, his unbelievable perseverance, willpower and never ending struggling is to be admired, and he’s had great growth throughout the series, I absolutely love Guts, he’s like a real person to me.
Not all role models have to be squeaky clean. Most of our old idols are being torn down for being flawed more than actually doing anything wrong. However sometimes heroes that used to be villains can be great heroes because they overcame something and chose to be a better person. Darth Vader did unspeakably evil things yet he was redeemed in the end. The goodness in him over came the bad. We all have some bad in us, being able to overcome it has as much merit as being always clean.
Dude im so thankful I discovered your channel a few weeks ago, finally decided to start reading the manga last saturday and literally couldnt stop. Like it was so amazing that i spent the last couple days basically just reading working out and reading more doing nothing else, now i am at the latest chapter and man im a huge nerd for fantasy and fiction especially LOTR and ASOIAf but Beserk was just on another level, never have been soo invested into something in my live what a masterpiece
you're gna get me to do the same been on Clash Of Kings for over a year lol
I have bipolar disorder. That means that, when left unchecked, I have an unbelievable temper. Seeing Guts battle with his inner demons to try and overcome the innate darkness within him is something that I personally resonate with. His lack of blood family, his distrust of people, his love for his friends are all things that I relate to greatly. Sure maybe the dude does some questionable things, but overall I think he's a human with flaws who struggles, but continues. That's inspiring to me.
Keep going struggler 💪
I'm sure one day we'll all be able to keep our negative emotions at bay no matter how difficult it is.
Bruh, the man has the willpower to overcome A LOT OF FUCKING TRAUMA and cope with it at the same time he's fighting both figurative and literal demons. And on top of that he's protecting people that are closest to him.
Yeah, he's te best fictional role model I've seen.
Blackswordman and early Conviction arcs: Hell No.
Golden Age arc: Only if I was a mercenary/Soldier
Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc and later: Yes, I'd let him babysit my kids.
He ist not a particular role model of action but absolutly when it comes down to willpower and determination. There are the strong like Griffith that can still be broken and there are the strong that have overcome weakness because they have been broken so many times.
you talked about this in a really beautiful way
For me, Guts is the embodiment of resilience and loneliness. It is an extremely complex character (as seen on his evolution), but is still an incomplete character. He is strong, physically, but he has had to learn to become emotionally and psychologically strong, to accept it's ok to depend on others, to trust. Yet, his path is one of loneliness and emptiness. I would like to say Casca could be the response to his destiny or mission in this world. But I don't think that will be the case. I really hope to continue seeing this marvelous character evolution, I don't think I have seen a similar one in any other media.
One thing we can admire about Guts is that he's not a "hero". He's just a man, although battered and broken by enemies, friends and his own mental state, he still strives to survive and be a better version of himself in a world that has been anything but kind to him, to the point he barely rests.
At the beginning of the series, I would say he definitely isn’t, but Guts grew to be a great role model. He honestly grew to be what every man should aspire to be. He’s physically and mentally strong, he’s kind to those who are weaker than him and offers wisdom to those younger than him who need it, Schierke and Isidro, he’s grateful to his friends who’s help was indispensable in journey, Farnese and Serpico, and no matter what struggles he faces he never complains, he just faces the danger head on and never cowers in sight of it.
Guts is a hero to me. I've told my own story on this channel enough times to piss people off, so I won't get into the details. But Guts is a realistic hero because he is not perfect. He is not the strongest character in the story. He is not pure of heart and has done some truly despicable things. But he has also come back from the darkness in such a way that very few people have. I find inspiration in this because I once saw my own trauma as a brand that marked me as unable to connect with others beyond what my autism prevented me from doing.
But I have kept moving forward and felt less isolated in part due to the story that I have seen Guts live through. He has survived so much of the same kinds of violence and accessible human evils that I have that the experience does not leave me feeling that I am unworthy of human connection nor that I am incapable of it. Guts is someone who keeps pushing through and finding that despite what he has done and what he has survived that he is able to pull himself out from the darkness and surround himself with friends that help to keep him rooted in what is left of his humanity.
Hope is not a bright and shining emotion. It is a very somber feeling that we turn to when nothing else exists. And out of all of the hellish experiences I have endured, the absence of hope is the worst thing I have ever felt because when you lose hope, you begin to shut down and lose the connections that you have. Despair rusts and corrodes that foundation until you sink below into the darkness, losing yourself to the beast within. No person is a monolith. Not even Guts.
All in all, I owe my life, my sanity, and even my relationship to having known the hero that is Guts through the hellish story of Berserk. From a single piece of art 23 years ago to thirty years old next month, Berserk has made its place in my life as a source of inspiration and hope since I was seven years old. It opened my mind, my heart, and helped me to cease my self-destructive ways before I lost more of myself than just some tissue in my right knee. I could be so much worse off than needing a cane to walk if I hadn't embraced the lessons of this story.
That’s awesome man. I relate to a bit of what you said myself and I can’t agree more. Keep moving man!
@@J99___, thanks. I'm actually making progress on a book of original myths, fables, and fairy tales right now.
@@ericschuller908 That’s dope man, good luck on making it
i resonate with him to a miniscule extent, sa as a child, betrayed, other issues too but he is a role model in my eyes and the most realistic character in terms of processing emotions etc
"What will you do if they catch you?
What will you do if they break you?
If you continue to fight... What will you become?"
if nothing else he is a rock for people. "if guts can get through all that, my own struggles ain't shit."
Honestly cracks in the blade explains guts to a tee, godo got down to the depths of guts as a character. When donovan did what he did it broke him as a kid he expressed this by achieving great things on the battlefield while pushing everyone away, it wasn't till he met griffith till he found meaning in his mission in life. Then we find out trauma also from Gambino when him and casca make love. He at first from what happened with donovan that sex was an act of aggression and anger and almost hurt casca, then he looked at her and saw himself. That's when he started crying and talking about gambino saying how he sold him he fights with the fact that gambino and his wife saved him from certain death under that hanging tree and raised him. To Gambino treating him like garbage and selling him to donovan. Most kids feel this way when they get older they are conflicted because they don't know whether to see someone that hurt them as children as good people or monsters. He then found a family with the hawks to leaving because family scares him he pushes things away when it feels good because he expects them to hurt him like donovan and Gambino did. Luckily I believe until griffith showed up when he was in elfheim he looked truly at peace, even showing affection to moonlight boy before he was revealed to be Griffith.
I think the role model aspect of Guts is often misunderstood or rather oversimplified as "just keep struggling," when thats really not the case is it? If guts simply "kept struggling," he would have long ago given in to his beast of darkness. Black Swordsman guts was really simply Griffith in regards to his ambition; one that was purely self centered where Guts at the very least wished to appear like Griffith in that he had an uncompromising desire that he would quench no matter the expense. With Casca though during the conviction arc that changed (or rather went back to that which it was during the Golden age when he first became vulnerable with her), he no longer fought for simply himself but others as well, allowing himself to open up to others and realize that happiness and being content is more important than egoist aspirations. That to me is the lesson of guts' story - growth not for purely selfish motivation, flying higher like a hawk alone at the top so to speak but to find inner peace through companionship amongst fellows.
Fantastic video and analogies. I think many of us respectus Guts. Since he can become a good person. Even though he rarely gets any breaks or breathing rooms in his life.
Maybe we like Guts because he is one of the most realistic characters that I at least can think of. He shows all kinds of human emotions, change, faces struggles of all kinds. And overall he does the right thing for his close ones (at least in his current family/gang).
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Its not Guts himself but rather the ability he has to face the dark ass world that is Berserk and still find meaning in an uncaring environment.
This is a perfect video for fans of Berserk. Thank you Mira and Ryan.
in so far as determination, iron will, not accepting what bad fate has in store.
my childhood was my own personal hell due to all the years ai was being bullied for.
but no mather how hard it got i always went forward not letting that stop me though the my own personal beast of darkness told me otherwise.
after almost 8 years of constant bullying i meet my grifith so to speak (i got my first friend) and my own life went upward after that and when i grew up i decided to become someone that would stop the bullying from happening to others so they would not go through the same hell as i did.
so in a way i relate to guts throuh in a very diffrent way
I clicked on this vid fast for Berserk
Guts definitely is a role model. He fight for what he believes in. Loves his woman unconditionally.. also realizes his beast within.. chooses to stay away from his love, not to stifle her
Yes 🧔🏼♂️
What’s inspiring to me is how this guy never fucking breaks.
It’s like….All if this shit just keeps happening to him, and he doesn’t just fall into the same self - pity trap that I did and start wondering : “why me?” Or “this cannot be my life…”
To fight on and on and on. Lose a limb. Lose an eye. Bust his nerves. Sure he cries, but he isn’t pitying himself.
These 2-3 years I had many moments of depression that I supress & try to not think of them much a lot. And yes sometimes they won & sometimes I won as well. But right now these past weeks I started to question once again my life worth & my goals in life. I even had s*icidal thoughts through the years. But when I saw this video I was once again reminded to keep fighting for the things I wanna achieve. So enough with the sad stuff & get I should Back on work to finish my manga! Thank you for this video Ryan. You really are one of my favs anitubers!
What manga do you create? I'd like to read it!
@@twenty_characters_2015 late medieval ages/early modern ones dark fantasy manga. Inspired by 16-17th century England setting. It will have lots of witches & Curses. And lots of monsters & hunters that kills them & so on.

For now but I may change it or not. Still im at pre production so there isn't much to show
@@fujinadohira6093 I will add it to my list of manga to read in the future! Good luck! I look forward to seeing your art one day!
Thank you, man. For making this video
Ryan is the real role model lol his monster manual vids introduced me to berserk. Role model Ryan
Same here. My very first berserk introduction was from one of his monster manual video.
I am going through a life changing desicion of joining the army after going through what I consider my own eclipse arc( only in terms of being a sacrificial lamb for someones elses desires) and black swordsman arc and finally after my long end of those painful years is that ive slowly been recovering my sense of self back, berserk has literally my only role model to look after my entire life and now I get to take back whats mine.
This video came at a really good time
I was really feeling down due to a mistake that l have been keeping a secret for some time and that l would not be able to see my girl for a couple of weeks due to some shit that life through my way but this video reminded me not to give in and look ahead.
Really improved my mood and inspired me.
Thank you Guts and Miora for everything.
And thank you Ryan for coming in clutch
This was wonderful! New subscriber and I’ve just enjoyed so much catching up on all your Berserk videos! It’s been my fave since early 2000’s. Guts is exactly his name and so much more. His character is super inspiring of what it means to never give up! Attack on Titan is #2 and I’ll be catching up on those as well.
Yes.
this, exactly this. everything said in this video, all of it.
imo yeh ...He inspired me to just keep going on....even during dark times....even when shit goes wrong .. even when no-ones with u ....Idk about others ...But Guts is how a role model should be ... Determined person who dosnt give a fuck how what ppl around him feel about him...Hes just focused on his journey and destination....
Guts is better than most characters in fiction not only because of his strength and willpower. But because of his flaws, he’s not perfect but he keeps on going despite the odds. He learns from his mistakes and learns that he can rely on help and build positive relationships with others. One of the best characters in fiction and I stand by that.
I prefer the term peer
He’s not someone to look up to he’s a friend by our side struggling just as us
Guts is the best role model for me , no matter how life hard gets I’ll keep on struggling cause guts never gave up
Is Guts a role model? Me watching Berserk edit on Tiktok as gym motivation : Yes, indeed
He reminds me of Tien Shinnhan. A Lone wolf kind of character.
Depends which arc we talkin about. Like golden age guts and fantasia he is a pretty stand up guy most of the time. Black swordsman guts on the other hand. Dude is a total villain practically all the time.
Guts was there for me when my ex wasn't. Now I'm glad he was there and she really wasn't.
I've never found Guts to be a role model morally in-universea, but he's one of the coolest people in a fictional story I've ever experienced, and his willpower and story have no doubt inspired many people, even inspired them to keep living. So I would say he is a role model.
Yes he is
Nice job. The things you said here are very human too.
Is he a role model? Nope, his story is usually like a cautionary tale as it’s usually about how his mistakes affect him and the people around him. The most profound messages come from Gut’s learning from his mistake. He’s a great example of will power but where he channels his will and energy is usually where he falters.
(In YOUR opinion) :)
Guts to me,he killed innocent people from a village. Had assaulted casca. He reminded of me when I was a kid. I used to hurty friends and I'm now closed off to people because I don't want to hurt people anymore.
He’s my favourite protagonist of all time, but it’s tough to say whether he is a role model for me. He’s resilient and perseveres, but he hasn’t been the greatest guy. I guess he has been bettering himself recently tho
Yo ur channel was recomended to me by a friend bc I just started reading berserk and I noticed that you deleted your videos about the Golden Age. Are u planning to remake these or why did u delete them?
Is Guts a role model? You God damn right he is!
Rest In Peace
amazing video ❤
I love this, that's it
I see Guts as a role model, because I see Guts as a character that "grows".
He is an embodiment of masculinity in this era where people are questioning its nature, altering it or not recognize it.
All struggles of those and worse are what Guts has already faced and moves on to a future, where he provides for his loved ones.
If Guts is considered a role model than so am I
He is without trying to be
This is a great video but the background guts theme is so distracting lmao even though it's quiet
He’s definitely a role model. He easily could have been a dick and just dropped Casca when he realized she wasn’t the same person after the eclipse (while in her childlike state). He also could easily have ditched everyone else while they were sleeping, at any point during their travels, to seek revenge on Griffith. He stands up for them, and with them, instead. His determination to fight through all the demons coming after them, rather than giving up, is exactly what we should strive for. Never give up! Never surrender! 🤘😎
It's not about power he's just so familiar, this anger building up within just what I have stumbled upon, for pretty not exact same but still well enough pain, which is foundation for bad thoughts trying to take me down, questioning me am I the only monster here. The only difference that I wasn't killing anyone.
The point of GUTS is.. people's expectations of what he should be doesn't mean shit to him based on the life he's had to live.
Thank you guts for supporting me in the lowest point of my life (current time)
This is perfectly explained, great job its my true feeling about Berserk!!
The fact that Guts is Grey rather than Black or White is what in fact makes him a role model. Because all in all that's the real human condition.
I love this series
There are things you can admire about Guts as a character, while also recognizing you can't and should not emulate his darker behavior.
"A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad the good"
He is a struggler, not a hero and that to me is better than most.
Berserk has the most powerful imagery i have ever seen. That still with Guts looking back at Casca in the midst of his whirlwind of violence to save her in the heretic's cave is unreal. Sends chills down my spine and makes me want to hug my wife and annihilate a demon
Guts inspired me with his work ethic and determination to fight for what he believes in.
I think guts is a role model. He’s a very solid character with a lot of things to look up to, such as his drive to keep moving and his way of struggling rather than giving up. Just look at many of his quotes and his great traits shine. I personally find his willpower very inspiring and he is a character I look up to in many ways.
Yes, he has imperfections and some bad qualities, but who doesn’t? His imperfections are part of him and even those are something readers can learn from. You can learn from a man’s mistakes just as much as from his success. Guts’ ways of disregarding others and their feelings (moreso early on after the eclipse out of anger) is something you shouldn’t do bc it will lead you into darkness, and guts’ entire arc of becoming the current stage guts is a journey of development that is very admirable. He slowly becomes a better man and grows as a person through trial and tribulations that are relatable in a way to many as well as many that are not. He repents for his past mistakes and now does all he can to be a better man. That’s pretty badass.
Hell yeah he is
Guts may not be my role model but you are Ryan
If guts was smart he would avoid Griffith and never come back so he could never go through the eclipse I’d let old caska hit the streets and face the eclipse by herself old dumbbell turned her back on him so she can die that’s how I’d view it in guts shoes why face that fate over someone who doesn’t care about you wanting to please Griffith didn’t know who she wanted to win in the sword fight when gut left I think she did want a romantic relationship but Griffith didn’t show the feelings back and the feelings faded
Time and time again, Guts has always been a constant reminder of all thing I would be able to achieve IF I DIDN"T HAVE THIS STUPID ARM!!!
Guts? No
Griffith? Yes
hes more inspirational more then any other mc due to his black swordsman arc, doing horrible things to combat horrible circumstances, and throughout the story you see him go from the black swordsman of revenge to someone whos priority is to keep casca safe and protecting those around him,changing and maturing throughout his journey
Vegeta, gut, gon long list of fiction characters whom have influenced my life gut has given me more ability to over come my depression and my past
Guts is the type of character who inspires you to do better,that beyond the terrible life situations,hope is a key factor to keep on living.So for that Guts is one of my role models.
He almost cannibalized on Casca. Naw. Interesting man though. His struggle is relatable for anyone who went through a lot
Very epic!
Will always be my favorite series until the end of time ;_; Guts is prime perseverance, he defines that word really
Every day I aspire to be like the black swordsman
He has his good and bad traits. On one hand he can be rude and abusive but on the other hand he has a strong will to survive and attempts to better himself. At this time i say no but in the future sure
The GOAT
Current Guts absolutely. Black swordsman Guts... maybe not as much
Is this a rhetorical question ?
He's a role model about how we should never trust men with white hair
Yes ..by by
