I agree, same thing with the god hand. A lot of people want their full backstory but that would ruin them as characters and make us sympathize with unworldly beings which wouldn't make any sense
@@GDSprodify look at it like this. In a horror movie, what would be more effective? If the murderous creature stayed a complete enigma throughout the story, never having its nature or its motivation revealed? If you do not know why it’s hunting the protagonists, just that it does and that it will stop at nothing to achieve it‘s goal. Or if some dude just explained the things motivation, nature, weakness etc., thereby completely removing everything that made the monster seem scary and threatening. The same principle can be applied to the God Hand. They are nigh omnipotent beings, seemingly acting on a whim. You never know when and why they’ll show up, and what the consequences will be. At times they seem to be helping (like with Ganishka), and at other times they bring nothing but misery and destruction.
Been a huge fan since 2010, Skull Knight is King Gaiseric. The five elemental angels that came to destroy his city were Void and the rest of his group that was the first God hand after Void's induction. I think King Gaiseric's kingdom failed and was destroyed due to the fact he wanted to marry the elf queen. The priest who became Void for forbid it. That is what jump-started the events that are occurring in Beserk today.
Well the Berserker Armour blood memory pretty much implies he's a former king (Gaiseric) that lost himself to it & died fighting the previous incarnation of the God Hand hench his connection to Void. How he came back hasn't really been addressed though Flora may of had some spell to cast his soul to his current armour somehow? Plus his horse, that clearly he was close to or perhaps a gift given to him. He seems to forsee things & may of known of Guts before he was born like The God Hand knew Griffith would be Femto before his existence likely explaining why he helps Guts at upcoming junction points or tries to intervene not knowing what will happen for sure. I believe Dannan has some connection to him as she resembles the woman he had in his arms during the memory... Maybe a relative? Guts now wears the very armour that killed him & potentially could do the same, is why he overseeing Guts knowing long ago another would tread a similar path but to not let the same outcome happen again? I don't believe Skull Knight is connected to Guts by being a future version or a unknown family member, he's a man that faced a similar situation & died & now he's found someone with the same goals that could either eliminate them once and for all (unlikely scenario) or sacrifice themselves to stop the God hands schemes one and for all. I think Rickert will be a defining addition to that situation knowing full well he could touch what no one else could! The face of evil Femto
The horse doesn't seem that weird as there are several apostles which have a steed and even incorporate them into the apostle's evolved form. I think it has to do with their self-image, like in the matrix. Like how Griffith saw himself as the hawk and wanted wings.
@@PANCHOSWAY Though Femto apparently allows Rickert to slap him and let him go peacefully, it's unclear whether it is because he thought Rickert's existence to be too insignificant or if he believed killing Rickert in the open would damage his reputation. If he let Rickert go out of genuine affection for their past bond, then he would stop being Pure Evil that he claims to be.
“The brief moment she shares with skull knight is like two lovers who forgot eachother due to the sands of time recalling a memory as faint as a star on a cloudy night” bro that was poetry 🥲
I agree with the theory that King Gaiserc used the Berserker Armor and Elven magic during his conquest to unite Midland. There is a high possibility that he had encountered several Apostles thousands of years ago disguised as feudal lords of Midland. The godhand existed at the time, so it makes sense that Midland kings and warlords must've been Apostles and Pseudo Apostles as well. And King Gaiserc's use of Berserker Armor and Elven magic allowed him to kill the apostles easily during his conquest.
And then in a time of peace under his rule void betrayed skull knight and then the flashback of the armor’s memory and over the years he’s been stalking the night. I believe he killed the other godhand member when they became physical
We actually don't know for a fact that the god hand existed at the time. All we do know is that 4 primordial apostles met void upon him performing the invocation of doom and sacrificing gaiserics capital city. There's actually a theory that those primordial apostles were not god hand members, but the four elemental kings that wanted to be ruled over by what would become the god hand. This would line up with gaiserics use of elven magic in his conquest of midland because the four elemental kings would've had a direct hand in his successes, thus becoming enraged when he forgot about them and began indulging in sin and vices due to the effects of the berserker armor. This would also explain why upon becoming a god hand member, void immediately descended deep into the astral world to begin preparing for the next invocation of doom. The other idea is that either the four elemental kings anger towards gaiseric was manifested by the Idea Of Evil or that the four primordial apostles were directed by the Idea Of Evil to meet void and collect his sacrifices for the invocation of doom.
The King as Skull Knight and the Scholar as Void seems pretty plausible. Though I’m not sure if I buy the idea of the old city as debauched since the source is the Holy See. While Griffith did not deserve that torture, he was a monster well before that.
I always had a suspicion that the SK was Guts in the future. Oddly similar to the Manwha "Skeleton soldier can't protect the dungeon" in that regard. At least to me! XD
Bro me to! For sure it’s guts. After everything uses a behelit and becomes a demon whose sheer will overpowers the demonic will. So a rogue demon. Anti Demon. Idk. It’s awesome 😆
Zodd and Skully being "eternal Rivals" is a nice symbolism for guts' future. Two possible paths lead to apparently similar outcomes, but on different sides of the same coin. They both chose their 'destined' path and are now stuck in an eternal struggle against the other side. Guts may one day have to flip that coin for himself and maybe it will land on its edge for him, unveiling a new path nobody has traveled so far.
Void: Lips cut off seemingly but all skin flaps pulled back revealing all intact teeth. Maybe jaw closed shut and forced that way. Nose cut off. Eyes sewn shut but perhaps eyeballs are still back there as they're not sunken. Skull was slowly/somehow removed to expose swelling brain while trying to be kept alive assumingly. Interesting.
Hands down my dearest character from the BERSERK universe aside of the BLACK SWORDSMAN as well of course Skull Knight is not just one of my personal dearest Dark fantasy characters of all times but one of the greatest Dark Hero ever written much love Kentaro Miura thank you for the Knight, for Guts and for BERSERK may your soul live forever somehow
- Skull Knight knew Guts would be a sacrifice, but he did not stick around to kill the owner of the crimson behelit. - The presence of the 2 people with the brand of sacrifice at Albion brought forth the mass of ghosts that killed everybody, allowing for the reincarnation of Griffith. Skull Knight saved these 2 people, allowing them to be present at the right place at the right time. - Skull Knight intervention allowed the merging of the astral and physical worlds. Is it just me, or Skull Knight sucks at his job of opposing the God Hand? I sometime feel he is working for the God Hand, not against them.
i feel it's becos under normal circumstances he can't reach the god hand, it has to be during an eclipse or similar weird event. so he kinda allows the 1st and 2nd event you mentioned to happen so he can attack the god hand dunno why he can't just do it during normal apostle behelit activation ceremony but maybe he has off screen, numerous times, just never succeeds or maybe his cool sword of actuation can only be made stronger by swallowing a behelit that has been activated , not dormant ones. so he just allows normal apostle making ceremony to happen and kill the apostles later to get their behelit the merging of the astral word, he totally fucked up though
Skull Knight has been shown to have a good idea of causality's flow so I'm guessing he let causality take it's course because it brings him closer to taking revenge on the God Hand. One of those things is the Great Roar of the Astral World so now he can entomb the God Hand permanently. That's my guess at least.
@@EternalDeath14 either he lets it happen, as he can more consistently attack god hand members once fantasia happened, or he totally messed up. after all even god hand members are not omniscient, so i assume skull knight , despite knowing a lot of causality, is not all knowing in that department too
I think the merging of astral and physical world happened because Griffith used his power to change the direction of skull knight’s slash. I believe skull knight was aiming for Griffith, but Griffith used his telekinesis ability to move his sword so it slashes the tree instead. You could also see the slash contorting like a ribbon, which was probably controlled by Griffith instead of the skull knight.
The fact hannar said he is just rattling in his coffin. I believe that Flora and Hannar worked to keep Skull Knight's ego or soul inside the new armor.
I've always thought of skull Knight and guts also as being the personification of true death in the bezerk world. You know they said in the story that guts Teeters on the verge of both life and death and is able or more attuned to escaping death and skull night also same situation technically he's a race he's on the edge of life and death he can't crossover because of his deeds and needs to continue his struggle. But technically yeah they're personification is death if you see guts or skullknight on the battlefield there's a 99.9% chance that you're not going to leave the battlefield, death is coming for you
Just a thought but would be interesting if, during skull knight eclipse, during his reign as a king, his lover in his hands and her student must have did their own rebirth ceremony in the expense of skull knights lover life, to bring him back from the void, him and his horse. Something major had to get her banished from elfhelm, and maybe it was because of something in that nature (basically stated in the updated video the skull knights armor) maybe during the the witches ceremony it was something time based so the berserker armor still consumed the king, while dealing damage to the god hand themselves, and when the ceremony was completed, he was removed from the void and now resides in his version of the armor while he retrieved the one guts wears from the aftermath of his eclipse and places it under watch of the witch of the forest.
Hey just a suggestion: Create more Playlists.There should be one just for Berserk content. Come on now. Make it easier to find all the videos associated with any given popular franchise. :)
The skull knight didn't give him the sword guts took it. Also guts told him to go to casaca. Skull knight is very Crypted also with zodd he didn't wash he lost his arm but it look like he wasn't tired
I love that berserk's being continued by Koji Mori but it just doesn't have the magical Miura touch. The pages don't jump out at me the way it used to. RIP to one of the greatest mangaka of all time
I wonder if Gaiseric and had a friendship with Void’s original human form. And Gaiseric grew corrupt from constant expansion with no rest. The original void was perhaps his greatest tactician and second to Gaiseric’s queen. And amongst his many hours of torture he’d had his eyes sewn shut and heard the idea of evil this through an incarnation ritual he was reborn as Void. Choosing to sacrifice Gaiseric and his empire.
He is indeed a powerful being but he ultimately is just like Guts a failure in the fight against the God Hand in all the years he has fought them he has not defeated a single one of them he struggles against fate but for what he has lost everything just as Guts did I can't comprehend the will power they must possess to be able to fight so much and not desire the release of death in the face of a impossible enemies to defeat.
I love that the armor has a similar effect of the behelits. The armor gives u power and ability but at the sacrifice of your own body and mind but the behelit is at the sacrifice of others
skull knight is the king, just makes sense. Void being the holy man also makes sense. since you have to go thru some king of horrible torture and loss and the willingness to give up everything.
Great videos you made... Also Slan call him: Your highness... What if Danan is not the reincarnation of the former love of Gaiserik...may be is his daughter... thats why they gaze in that way.
Considering this was what the guy saw before his death, I think it’s safe to say this was after the whole “talk to the magic heart thingy” part of the eclipse, and wasn’t Griffith in a similar position?
I wonder if he is not the ""griffith"" of the relation with void By that I mean is that he was the one who wanted control, power and a kingdome and void was his right hand man So imagine if When griffith got his dream he somehow put guts in jail for some reason and probably tortured Since godhands need to sacrifice what they love the most Void would sacrifice the population that he worked hard to creat
The underlying plot sounds like a very dark version of Fullmetal Alchemist in a sense. LOL it just popped in my head. The whole fact of sacrificing a whole bunch of people for immortality
@@RandoLePerson predation doesn't mean innovation. sacrificing or abandoning your possessions in pursuit of supernatural powers i.e immortality isn't exclusive to Berserk. Muria himself has borrowed from Lovecraft and the later has this concept as basis for his stories. both FMA and Bersek can have borrowed the notion of sacrifice for selfish pursuit. difference is Bersek did so prior to FMA and took longer to conclude that arc (in part due to its mangaka's illness and untimely death).
I mean at this point if you deny skull knight is king gaiseric idk what to say. Like the skull armor the helmet the comment above the death of a foolish king when he’s clearly talking about his own death everyone calling him his majesty like come on it’s obvious he’s king gaiseric
Skull night wanting to be part of the first God hand by being King Gaiseric and sacrificing all his kingdom and everything for it. But after he gets into the God hand decides to confront them for an unknown reason.
Perhaps when the previous godhand came to destroy gaisericks Kingdom, Void ascended as the new member but skull knight/gaiserick killed the older 4 members going ballistic in his berserker armour, and only Void survived, he may also have been resurrected or bound to his armour as a spirit and that's why can't ve killed
*Plot Twist* I personally believe Void was the original king(hence the ‘Brain Crown’) and SK was the heir to his throne(The Prince, perhaps). Void was corrupt and “levied heavier taxes on the people” for his own benefit. SK overthrew his father to take the crown and then Void(the Sage, formerly the king) used the Crimson Behelit to sacrifice his kingdom, branding SK the prince who was already wearing the berserker armour. Thus SK’s mortal life ended during Void’s eclipse, but his existence continued, potentially with some intervention from Flora. (In this process, there was a showdown whereby the 4 elemental kings were summoned, killing 4 of the original Godhand, excluding avoid, given he was too powerful and could manipulate space.. SK never found a way around this until he created The Sword of Actuation).
Is it just me but I haven’t heard one channel that covers this story point out the strong parallels between SK and Guts. It’s like the story that we are being told from start to finish is in fact a repeat story of what happened to SK.
I think skull knight is a magically empowered former apostle, who killed his family and lost his kingdom using the berserker armor and lives now for revenge
In the end, the skull king probably wasn't even evil. I don't think people should trust the GH's interpretation of anything, and the religion that formed from said event clearly worships the idea of evil. without them knowning.
Is it impossible that both the priest and Geiseric possessed a baelot (can't spell)? I mean what if the two characters were both working with one another but for their own reasons, neither knowing the other possessed a baelot. Bailot? They both reach a crescendo at the same time, but Geiseric, realizing his mistake, rejected it while the priest didn't. Now they're pitted against one another, with Geiseric desperate to halt the ball he got going. Idk, I'm a casual fan.
He was a hero king, and won his crown through blood, when he formed his kingdom, he had not the tools to govern. Though his heart was pure for the love of a woman, that does not mean the people shared his same morality or love. The scribe punished the kingdom for its debauchery, and the king is the kingdom.
This video isnt in the berserk Playlist for some reason, kept looking for it but ended up just searching RUclips to find it. Just saying since so many videos in the berserk Playlist reference this video.
This may sound silly, but what if Skull Knight is Guts from the future? Like maybe Guts becomes King Geisering(sp) later on in his life? I don’t know, that may be a dumb theory of mine
@@I_am_a_cat_ I agree it’s falcon for Japanese. You look stuff up online they always say Bank of the Falcon, but the English versions of Berserk is the only source that says Bank of the Hawk.
TO ME AND HOW I SEE IT, SKULL KNIGHT, ZOD & GUTS MIGHT COLLABORATE AND TEAM UP TO TAKE ON THE GOD HAND AND THEN SETTLE THE SCORE BETWEEN SKULL KNIGHT AND GUTS VS ZOD..SO AFTER THAT, THEY'RE GOING TO SEPARATE UNTIL ANOTHER GOD HAND SHOWS ITSELF AND REPEAT THE SAME BATTLE BECAUSE THEY HAND ANOTHER GOD HAND BEFORE THIS ONE REMEMBER? JUST MY TAKE ON HOW I SEE THINGS..(S.K.,ZOD,& GUTS) HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER ALSO HOW I SEE IT..
Hated that the Knight was taken out of the first animated series we got. This will always be one of my favorite fantasy series of all time.
Was he taken out or did they just not get to him? Hate that it ended at the band of the Hawk Arc though. Nevermind. My question was answered.
I thought the series was still going on after the creators death. Like aren’t they already working on continuing the manga?
They cut him & others because it was only planned to be 25 episodes at the time.
@@RyanRedfox The manga has been continued from the last few chapters.

Been a huge fan since 2010, Skull Knight is King Gaiseric.

I think King Gaiseric's kingdom failed and was destroyed due to the fact he wanted to marry the elf queen. The priest who became Void for forbid it.

who really blame sk for marriying an elf queen , elf queens are beautifull, sk like me are men addicted to elve women.

Since godhands need to sacrifice what they love the most
Void would sacrifice the population that he worked hard to creat
The angels are the god hand and the flash back of his woman dead is the moment his empire collapsed
This was a fantastic piece of work love Guts he's a beast! 👍🤙
The underlying plot sounds like a very dark version of Fullmetal Alchemist in a sense. LOL it just popped in my head. The whole fact of sacrificing a whole bunch of people for immortality
@@RandoLePerson predation doesn't mean innovation. sacrificing or abandoning your possessions in pursuit of supernatural powers i.e immortality isn't exclusive to Berserk. Muria himself has borrowed from Lovecraft and the later has this concept as basis for his stories. both FMA and Bersek can have borrowed the notion of sacrifice for selfish pursuit. difference is Bersek did so prior to FMA and took longer to conclude that arc (in part due to its mangaka's illness and untimely death).
I mean at this point if you deny skull knight is king gaiseric idk what to say. Like the skull armor the helmet the comment above the death of a foolish king when he’s clearly talking about his own death everyone calling him his majesty like come on it’s obvious he’s king gaiseric
Yo, I really hope, with all these Berserk vids coming out lately, the video for Guts is around an hr+ long. It's the only way to truly do him justice.
Your content is awesome bro! Keep it up!
Skull night wanting to be part of the first God hand by being King Gaiseric and sacrificing all his kingdom and everything for it.
But after he gets into the God hand decides to confront them for an unknown reason.
Perhaps when the previous godhand came to destroy gaisericks Kingdom, Void ascended as the new member but skull knight/gaiserick killed the older 4 members going ballistic in his berserker armour, and only Void survived, he may also have been resurrected or bound to his armour as a spirit and that's why can't ve killed
*Plot Twist* I personally believe Void was the original king(hence the ‘Brain Crown’) and SK was the heir to his throne(The Prince, perhaps). Void was corrupt and “levied heavier taxes on the people” for his own benefit. SK overthrew his father to take the crown and then Void(the Sage, formerly the king) used the Crimson Behelit to sacrifice his kingdom, branding SK the prince who was already wearing the berserker armour. Thus SK’s mortal life ended during Void’s eclipse, but his existence continued, potentially with some intervention from Flora. (In this process, there was a showdown whereby the 4 elemental kings were summoned, killing 4 of the original Godhand, excluding avoid, given he was too powerful and could manipulate space.. SK never found a way around this until he created The Sword of Actuation).
good ipotesys, i think skull knight is pilkaff red eyes with bersk armor
SK is so cool, he got 2 videos for his character
Is it just me but I haven’t heard one channel that covers this story point out the strong parallels between SK and Guts. It’s like the story that we are being told from start to finish is in fact a repeat story of what happened to SK.
Skull Knight is...GUTS!
I think skull knight is a magically empowered former apostle, who killed his family and lost his kingdom using the berserker armor and lives now for revenge
In the end, the skull king probably wasn't even evil. I don't think people should trust the GH's interpretation of anything, and the religion that formed from said event clearly worships the idea of evil. without them knowning.
Idk dude, Skull Knight had an angry brow when he rescued Guts from Slan in Qliphoth.
Skull knight is that 🥷 that shows up late when shit hits the fan while being a badass.💀🗡🐴
Kentaro Miura would be proud of this video!
I hope for Schierke's Origins... That she isn't Donovan in her past life.
Alright i m gonna say it, Skull Knight is Guts from the future.
So... what you try to say is... Skull Knight is actually Donovan?
Is it impossible that both the priest and Geiseric possessed a baelot (can't spell)? I mean what if the two characters were both working with one another but for their own reasons, neither knowing the other possessed a baelot. Bailot? They both reach a crescendo at the same time, but Geiseric, realizing his mistake, rejected it while the priest didn't. Now they're pitted against one another, with Geiseric desperate to halt the ball he got going.
Idk, I'm a casual fan.
Locked eyes with void. 😆
He was a hero king, and won his crown through blood, when he formed his kingdom, he had not the tools to govern. Though his heart was pure for the love of a woman, that does not mean the people shared his same morality or love. The scribe punished the kingdom for its debauchery, and the king is the kingdom.
He's like tuxedo mask yeah I'm that old 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Lmao which him and the Moonlight Knight were one in the same haha...damn Sailor Moon 🌙 😂😂😂
This video isnt in the berserk Playlist for some reason, kept looking for it but ended up just searching RUclips to find it.
Just saying since so many videos in the berserk Playlist reference this video.
15:25 Why did you show this image? It doesn't look like Miura.
Please do a video essay on big boss from metal gear solid series
This may sound silly, but what if Skull Knight is Guts from the future? Like maybe Guts becomes King Geisering(sp) later on in his life? I don’t know, that may be a dumb theory of mine
I think where the story is leading to is SK is actually geiseric. Who knows atp the story is at a weird point anything can happen right now
15:30 ayo eg hatch
Seems like skull not might be related to guts somewhere down the line
whats the song in the background?
Its "The band of the Hawk" and the "White Hawk" NOT falcon. You need to get the person who wrote the stuff in this to check his sources again.
Who cares, we all know what he meant, plus I'm pretty sure it's falcon in Japanese.
@@I_am_a_cat_ I agree it’s falcon for Japanese. You look stuff up online they always say Bank of the Falcon, but the English versions of Berserk is the only source that says Bank of the Hawk.
I believe the skull knights used to be king gaiserick but hoping we get more information about skull knight's pass. 💀🛡🗡🐎
This had a WH40K if i had to say
So that s2pid king started it all
I’m starting to see some similarities beteeen Warhammer AoS / 40K and Berserk…
Pretty cool…
How can someone who knows about the skull knight not know who zodd is
Skull Knight should have killed Griffith when he was human still, would have taken care of a lot of trouble.
Is he a mystery? I see him as a hero. Maybe the only hero
Wait did the skull knight kill 4 members of the godhand then?
Supreme king gaizarik
Good guts be king geyseric son
BAND OF THE FALCON???
Peekaf
Thanks for the devilman spoiler mate...
You aus ?
Keeps saying band of the falcon. I though it was band of the hawk
Struggler? Really? Who taught you English??
Zod and the Skull Knight are one
Great vid
TO ME AND HOW I SEE IT, SKULL KNIGHT, ZOD & GUTS MIGHT COLLABORATE AND TEAM UP TO TAKE ON THE GOD HAND AND THEN SETTLE THE SCORE BETWEEN SKULL KNIGHT AND GUTS VS ZOD..SO AFTER THAT, THEY'RE GOING TO SEPARATE UNTIL ANOTHER GOD HAND SHOWS ITSELF AND REPEAT THE SAME BATTLE BECAUSE THEY HAND ANOTHER GOD HAND BEFORE THIS ONE REMEMBER? JUST MY TAKE ON HOW I SEE THINGS..(S.K.,ZOD,& GUTS) HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER ALSO HOW I SEE IT..
Is it not the 'band of the hawk' although who knows, the Kanji for hawk and falcon is the same character
