Griffith is a textbook narcissistic abuser that lashes out when he loses ownership over the people that love and respect him. Terrible person, amazing character.
terrible person,amazing character perfectly described
The text book narcissism is so perfectly described
Everyone is terrible
He looks so perfect from outside
@@zeve3540 That's subjective for the most part. Not so subjective with the likes of Griffith
“He falls again under his control and starts chasing him for the rest of the story” That statement hit harder than a boulder.
it hit harder than the chadcoborlwitz family technique, whichis very versatile and can be used in any situation, and has been passed down and refined for over 200 years!!
Harder than the dragonslayer
CEAAASSAAARRRRR!!!!
or the toothpick...... neji...
I read this comment before actually watching the video, and it made my heart skip a beat.
Worst part about Griffith is that he tells everyone exactly who he is. But he’s so charismatic and sweet people turn a blind eye to it. Perfectly written sociopath. Terrible person amazing character.
Wrong. He is simply powerful, and the powerful can do whatever they want. Morality is a lie and falsehood.
@@accelerationquanta5816 not really it’s a bunch of powerful people in the story many of whom have failed to impose such power regardless of it. Griffith’s charisma and unyielding will and determination and list for power is what got him his power in the first place.
@@accelerationquanta5816 He´s a powerful opportunist.
@@sebas8225 If you're not an opportunist, you will lose to anyone who is.
@@accelerationquanta5816ok kid
I went into Berserk completely blind and I could tell from the moment Griffith said "you are mine" to Guts that he would be a sociopath. His relationship of control and using his comrades as they are convenient to him then lashing out when they break from his command is textbook manipulator. Excellent example of how to write a genuine sociopath
I hated Griffith the moment I saw him. I’m reading blind right now but I hated that smug, narcissistic bastard the moment he was introduced.
While everyone admired Griffith it was clear from the start that people like him are to be avoided at all costs, and often the same reasons people like a narcissistic person are what make them so horrible to those close to them. They’re appealing and draw you in only to use you for their own gain, and once you’re aware of it you spot people like that right away and you feel crazy for disturbing and disliking them while everybody else admires them. And then it turns out they were in fact horrible to those close to them. I was raised by a narcissistic dad, and once you learn the signs you can spot them immediately in those that show them so I knew to hate Griffith.
I wish I could spot them like you guys
@@youngknowledgeseeker You have to experience it to know it. Had a friend like that for years and cut him off cause I started realizing that he wasn’t right in the head. Mf would talk about changing the world and talk about being the greatest Twitch streamer and all that but underneath that, he was a toxic dickhead and hypocrite. To this day he probably still has people blindly praising him without question. Once I left they all turned on me, hated me, blah blah, I didn’t care. At that point I was free and got no regrets about it now.
Worst thing is that Guts brought out the best of Grifith, it just happens that the best aspects of Griffith are against his ambition for his own kingdom.
Im still sure the only reason he sent Guts, a 2 meter Brute with a giant sword in an assassination plot, was just he could make Guts his. He could easily send Judeau. He would have done it. Anyone in the HAwks would have done it. But he KNEW Guts would have doubts. He knew Guts saw him as an equal, and he despised that. He wanted him to be his pawn in his power game, and he HATED loving to be Guts Friend.
Facts bruh always hated this mf
He's called the hawk, and associates with a hawk because a hawk looks down at the world while it flies higher and higher. He can't have anyone fly over him, just like the Godhand. He joined them, then later transcended them returning in a physical form.
yes he cant be equal to none he has that “god complex” like no other character
@@PuckLQ Exactly. I think it's because he is "God". The idea of evil is his heart and he's (sub)consciously writing his own story.
@@ricoambro I'm glad someone else thought of this too. I feel like Berserk is one of the only stories that has written "plot armor" into the fabric of a story and it doesn't feel cheesy.
@@richman360 I mean we know guts is gonna get a happy ending, Miura said so.
So Grifith is gonna get fucked somehow someday.
@@TheIncredibleHieb I know guts wont kill griffith, I rather have the souls of the band of the hawk dragging Griffith to the abyss with them and the moonchild becomes free from femto
The rape scene also further illustrate how Griffith and Guts are different. Guts’s sex scene with Casca was tender, emotional and supportive because they had to work through his issue of aversion to physical contact due to the rape in his childhood. Also Guts never managed to find any other reason for being and to fight rather than Casca.
In the last episode, we discover that guts was never raped, actually he invented all that cause he didnt want to have sex with casca, since she has vagina and he despise vaginas.
The difference between someone who went through a lot (especially in the manga) but still somehow retained his humanity and a person who, regardless of his upbringing, was maybe destined to be a force of evil since he was born.
My man forgot Guts also attempted to rape Casca at some point in the story.
@@egehankurt7281 guts was broken when that happened
@@Unknown----------11 So was Griffith during the eclipse tho
He actually attempts to get casca to stay even before the eclipse, when she's tending to his wounds in the cart and he jumps her, as he's taken notice of guts and casca's relationship and assumes that if he can get casca to stay, he can get guts to stay too. But when Guts offers to stay she tells/reminds him why he can't. It's at that moment that Griffith realizes that the reason Guts left to begin with was to find his own dream, and be considered a friend/equal to him. However, based on his own definition, its Griffith couldn't be considered an equal/friend to guts, as he put guts over his own dream; risking his life for him on multiple occasions, starting as early as their first raid together.
Griffith is the one beneath Guts, not the other way around. Its during the eclipse that we see Griffith actually admit to it, if only to himself, saying that guts is the only one who made him forget his dream.
All that and being tortured to the point where you can't even physically stand nex to him, and be his equal was definitely the nail on the coffin for the band of the hawk...
💞💞
He suspected guts would not be his sword long before.
Think, why didn't he send Judeau in an assasination mission?
He sent the giant non subtle brute with a giant blade in an ASSASINATION plot. Griffith Sent guts there , because he was already conflicted about Guts wanting to be his equal. Any other Hawk would have done it without questions. But he knew Guts would have doubt. He wanted Guts to be his blade, not his friend. But at the same time he likes Guts. So he " kind of but not exactly" as a friend, ask him to assasinate that man. In reality he wanted guts to do anything for him, And also wanted that man dead. climbing the tower and making love with the princess wasn't Griffith first mistake, it was trying to make guts his dog.
But he never realized this , along with his conversation with the princess, would be what would kickstart his downfall.
Then before the eclipsed he realized Guts would leave again, and this time, he would take Casca, the last chain keeping the Hawks together, with him. Guts (because of Griffith) would end what remained of the Hawks by taking Casca with him.
@@yusukeelric he sent guts because guts was only one he trusted
nice, i never picked up on this
What's funny is that i've seen people use this "Griffith was just getting revenge!" thing as a way to say that Griffith did nothing wrong for some reason, when really it just proves that he's just as if not even more evil, because he didn't just violate someone in an unimaginable way to satisfy himself, which would already be an insanely disgusting thing to do, he violated someone for the sole purpose of mentally damaging someone for the crime of not blindly listening to everything he says.
Worst is that things like that are happening behind closed doors in real world too,believe it or not and I really hope that people defending Griffith are just joking because we can clearly see how EVIL he is,is actions,his words…SICK SICK SICK 🤢
There is no such thing as "evil". There are no immoral actions whatsoever. Morality is a delusion produced by your swollen chimpanzee brain.
That's a based thing to do.
@@uservxgno, he is not evil, he is based and people who defend him are normal.
If ur mom and sister happened to casca happens to them In front of u would u defend person?@@averageuraniumconsumer4856
Griffith only slept with people for more power no matter who they were. He slept with the old man for lots of money, he slept with Charlotte because she was the princess, and rap3d Casca to prove his dominance and power over Guts. He never romantically loved or even liked any of them. Just did what he had to do to make it to the top.
He also slept with the princess because he had just lost control over guys and was beaten in their duel so he regained it back by forcing himself on the princess.
He did Casca to reincarnate in the mortal world. Hence the reason why he let SK get off easily.
@@cooper8473 it was consensual blud
Feeling sad for guts it seems like thats what she always wanted from griffith. She always wanted pleasure from him what a bad women my heart cries for guts.
i think another thing people don’t mention in these videos is griffith regaining power over CASCA, the prime victim.
she has given up on her womanhood and vulnerability in order to be the new leader of the band, and the only time she’s is shown naked or extremely vulnerable and not feeling uncomfortable is with guts. casca can be herself fully with him, not having to worry if he’s convinced by her act.
the moment griffith sacrifices the band, he strips her away from being a leader. then he SA her, not only humiliating her in front of her lover (guts), making her unable to ever look at him again without remembering all the trauma she survived, but corrupted her CHILD.
she was pregnant at the time, and then the baby got ruined by femto.
basically everything that she had (the leadership of the band) or could have (her relationship with guts and bearing their child in the future) was stripped away from her, making her life so painful that her brain regressed not to relive the events of the eclipse again.
I think you have simplified a common argument I have seen over the years into its purest form: Griffith's lust for power is so great that it literally/figuratively destroys the world
I think this is most evident in the chapters since Guts and Co. arrive in Elfhelm, where the results of Griffith's dream on the outside world are more evident. From the very end of Chapter 345, in the conversation between Guts and Gedfring, Gedfring asks what motivated Griffith to reincarnate and transform the world. Guts puts it bluntly; as a survivor and former friend of Griffith, he knows better than anyone else: "He'll have his own kingdom"
What is most significant here is what Gedfring says in response.
"Seizing a kingdom, that does make sense... In this new world of chaos, it's ironic that the root of his tree is like the eye of a storm; a land of calm spiritual power that repels any wicked ethereal bodies. You could say it's the one and only 'kingdom" where people can live in peace and prosperity... To seize a kingdom. No. To establish the only kingdom in the world, he changed the world itself. That's utterly absurd. Any means to achieve his ends, eh?"
That one line from Gedfring, the absurdity of Griffith's dream, I believe illuminates how misguided he became, and that there may be some semblance of conscious, reflection still buried deep within Griffith. He sought his kingdom, he found(ed) his kingdom, and what did he realize upon achieving his dream? It is a cold, dark, and lonely place to inhabit.
"When I wake from the dream, only a vague sense of longing remains... That too will soon disappear... with a single tear, like morning dew".
The love of power is nothing compared to the power of love.
After all, what's the point of having all the power and influence in the world if you destroy the world and people's admiration for you is based on nothing but lies and false images.
Griffith has nothing
Yeah exactly whats the point of having all that power and influence for nothing,griffith always looked like that guy who loved admiration,maybe not the people who admired him but for sure their admiration.You made a good analysis urself in this comment.Well done✌️
Amazing explanation!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻well said.
It's the moonlight boy who longing for love. Femto got no human feelings, he plays with the world and gives no shit about love.
Very good analysis. I would only argue though that Femto likely has somewhat different motives and goals now then Griffith did.
Note that I’ve separated the two, because Femto is simply the Id of Griffith. He has no remorse, no guilt or any humanity. And what humanity he does express is only from the moonlight boy who shares his body.
(Hence the tear and melancholic speech you quoted.)
Femto’s goals are now whatever the Godhand’s goals are, and I seriously doubt the Godhand has any interest in peacefully preserving humanity in one small kingdom for eternity.
And that’s the interesting part that’s still to come. What is Femto’s true goal now? Will he betray that Godhand And pursue his dream of ruling his own kingdom?
Or will he sacrifice the entire kingdom just like the ancient one that skull knight ruled?
Cause he is a control freak, and wanted to be in control of who guts swings his sword for (like before guts met casca)
He wanted himself to be the reason guts swings his sword, once again making guts not get his own dream, and always swing his sword for someone other then himself or casca
absolutely
and its funny cos guts chasing griffith is just guts fighting for griffith since thats what griffiths want
holy shi, i never thought about that this way
This makes even more sense considering the latest chapter
Griffith surely wants both of his swords...
Complexities are becoming more tragic
I don’t completely buy into the theory that Griffith never had any love or admiration for the Band of the Hawk and they were merely pawns. I mean, we learn the only way to make the Behelit sacrifice work is if you sacrifice something that you love. If he truly has no feelings for his Band it wouldn’t have been deemed a relevant sacrifice
I agree. He also hesitated to perform the sacrifice until he was shown that it was the only way to achieve his dream. If he didn’t care about them at all, he would have sacrificed them in a heartbeat
the sacrifice has the inherent implication of offering the people you love most for the thing you want the most
i agree, when guts was heading towards him when he was in that lake holding the behelit, abt to start the eclipse, he told him to stay away bc he knew that his love for power n control was stronger than his love for the band of the hawk, n that when he had to choose between the two, he would choose to get more power
It is really odd and fateful that the last chapter before Miura's untimely passing FINALLY gave us Casca's sanity back. And she was finally able to express gratitude and love for Guts. Albeit not fully.
I personally hate that none of Miura's coworkers and colleagues have tried to properly continue and complete Berserk.
yeah ur right
if someone else did that after his death we would probably complain about them changing the story,good thing miura did that himself
berserk is still going bro... more chapters have been released
@@miracleferanmi9694 Thank you for telling me. I've been living under a rock. My out of touch a**.
Author of Holyland manga has been running it too. I bet it'll end well.
@@pafo5950 😅 you welcome
Umm, hello, his childhood friend Kouji Mori is continuing the manga.
It's a powerful scene, one that hurt and traumatized every Berserk fan. We also have to remember that Griffith's intent was to kill Guts and Casca within the eclipse. Before their death, he wanted them both to experience agony. The rape was intended to be a farewell gift.
Pretty horrible gift.
@@YuriLix It was, more of a power play. "Look who has the power now" kinda thought.
It's brilliant. The three served as catalysts to one another. One thing I really disliked was the removal of Wyald from the animated versions. 1. Because Wyald was horrifying and served as an amazing precursor to what was coming. 2. The battle with Wyald showed how powerful Guts had become and continued to do so. Guts kept evolving/growing while Griffith remained the same (until his capture) My opinion is that Guts became the man that Griffith always wanted to be.
exactly!That character started the “plot twist” by telling them that griffith is not the man they knew and that their fates are screaming Death
The Black Dogs terrified me.
@@VictorPitstopDefinitely! They should have never been left out. If I could animate, I would definitely start with the Wyald arc to add to the anime that's already out there.
How do you even win in a situation like that, as guts? Your lover gets raped and sees you as the bad guy somehow, and you can't help but put all your time into getting revenge because of a horrible person that did a horrible thing to you, because they saw the world differently. What answers that situation for you? God.. I hate humans sometimes.
I'll go for a kill streak as far as i can then kill the one that did that to myself. Im not gonna stop until its me or him dies.
how does casca see him as the bad guy? from what i remember she was happy to see him when she got her memory back, tears of happiness
@@homeinvasion8615 i'm sort of isolating that area of the story from everything else, so it's less detail and easier to answer.
@@meeplymoon8391 fair enough but i dont think its worth isolating as its a significant part of the story imo
@@homeinvasion8615 well, you know what? the chicken.
So it makes you wonder what will be Guts' key to defeating Griffith? Turning the other cheek and walking away(ignoring him)? Actually killing him? How would he even do that? Maybe the behelit will activate to grant Guts' ultimate wish, to be with Casca / have her safe. And now that Griffith has Casca, it makes me think she, similar to princess Charlotte, will play a key role in Griffith's downfall. There's so many ways this can play out so I can't wait the next additions to the story.
Thank you for making this video it really connects the pieces, very well put together, short and to the point. Keep doing what you do!
glad u enjoyed it✌️
Rickert slap managed somehow to hurt Griffith. as a normal slap would. The only way to defeat Griffith is to kill his spirit. Take him out of his illusion of Kingdom
There is no defeating Griffith, nor there will be a happy ending. Griffith is the real protagonist of Berserk, but seen from Guts point of view.
Well…I hate to say it but I do not think there will be a solution. The original author died & from the view of the manga, there wont be a continuation
@@anthonyl_2032 they are continuing it now? His personal team has taken on that responsibility and they are doing incredible. Also Kentaro left notes on the progression of the story so they have the ending just have to draw it and maybe add details possibly
I think Griffith wanted to punish her too, don't forget he previously saved her from
what he did to her in the end, that is sick as f. I would think that is her worst nightmare,
so it was not just about Guts, and I'm not talking about the Moonlight boy predictions and stuff
Also she did emasculate him tbh. Calling him weak and fragile
@@Miuranger1 ?? okay and
@@BringBackCyParkVendingMachines im just saying griffith might have had resentment towards casca for that comment because he was an insecure man.
@@Miuranger1 maybe but doesn't justify a demon orgy of blood and sacrifice and vengeance 🤣🤣
@@Miuranger1 that doesnt justify rape lmfao💀griffith is a sociopathic sore loser who will always be beneath guts whether he likes it or not
I always had this thought that the meaning behind the "scene" is to kind of portray Griffith's God Complex and his Ubermensch to say so, to portray the superiority that one can have in comparision to the other. "The king can oppose while his soldiers cannot"
You enjoyed this?
Here you have the full recap of all the reasons for stuff in Berserk
ruclips.net/video/t2KvptpNwqY/видео.htmlsi=73bz7lOZfANmw9K-&t=1
gave her that silly dk
Cause she couldn't get over the Guilt that she ENJOYED evey bit of it after some point. 👀
@@shubhamprasad1650 bro what 😐
A very interesting and insightful reading into the mindscape of Griffith. The man is certainly a psychopath. But a charming one, like Ted Bundy
yeah now that i think about it..
4:18 That is one of the *MOST* *INSIGHTFUL* things I have ever heard
In a way Guts is very much under Griffith's control
At first everything he did was to achieve Griffith's dream
Now everything he does is to get revenge.
Griffith still dictates his life
I never thought I would say this but despite how horrific the Eclipse was the wise thing to do is to simply put Griffith out of his mind
That is the only real way to defeat him and be free
I wouldn't say its the only real way. There are many things we don't know about how magic works in Berserk, Guts may find a possible solution for beating Griffith physically, or maybe he could find his soul or something and destroy it
The thing is, Guts later deliberately tried to avoid that path of vengeance. Griffith just won't leave him alone.
'At first... dream'
This is somewhat ambiguous to me because on the one hand Guts says that he will fight for Griffith's sake but in the other hand Guts is not doing it for Griffith's dream but for himself, he just wants to fight and swing his sword; the reason why Griffith likes him, because a friend for him is someone who doesn't depend on someone else's dream but in his own. Guts didn't have a dream but did what he wanted and this is why Griffith like him and considered him a friend. Also, evidence for Guts doing what he wants is the constant reprimand he got from Casca during the three years he had been with the Band.
So which is it? He fought for himself or for Griffith's sake or both maybe?
How do you put someone, who marked you for life and because of whom you are Hunted every single night out of your mind? And Guts actually stopped going after him at some point he was focused on getting casca better in the last chapters
Then it’s not merely revenge anymore, but something Guts must do
Guts, his second in hand. Took Casca out of his reach, his third in charge. Griffith loves Guts, but hates him for having him love him, because loving him took him away from his dream. Griffith already considered Guts a true friend. He just refused to accept him as such, he wanted the hawks to be his stairway to his dream. And his emotions for Guts ruined that. Yet, he blames Guts for this instead of himself
I always interpreted this as Griffith Psychotic way of getting back at Guts. He knew they were in a relationship. On the other hand. Casca was always like a tool for him. Remember than when they rescued Casca, He sent her to keep Guts Warm.
He's punishing guts, again, using casca as an object. The same way he saved Guts all those years ago. This is why Griffith is true evil. He never considered Casca as anything but a mean to an end. In fact, he always considered everyone but Guts that, i mean he WANTED to think Guts was another pawn in his power game. He wanted to make Guts his pawn. But Guts wanted to be his friend.
And don't forget, Griffith words were the cause of Guts leaving the band. But as always never took accountability for his own lack of control over his own emotions. And the rape of Casca is the sum of all of Griffith worst aspects.
You talked very intelligently about the reality of rape in the Berserk world and our world. Such a sensitive topic that you handled very well good job keep making videos man.
Yeah he handled it logically which is respectable
When thinking about Griffith having the mindset of a ""wannabe future King"", it makes sense that he would be a control freak. How could he ever call himself a King of Men if there are stronger men than him? Stronger men like Guts who are capable of beating him in a fight? Griffith would have been indescribably devastated by his loss to Guts.
So in short Griffith is an overly obsessed yandere
Couldn't Griffith show guts his new powers by challenging him to a fight to the death instead of doing what he did?
If Griffith just asked Guts why he decides to leave early, listen to Guts reason and then accept his early departure, everything that happened in the eclipse could've been easily avoided.
Guts and Casca didn't deserve to suffer like this. :(
Sadly causality would take place to make sure Griffith's dream is shattered
That's the whole point. Griffith COULD have just asked Guts to fight to the death, he COULD have just asked guts why he decided to leave early, and the eclipse COULD have been avoided. But Griffith is Griffith, and so Guts and Casca and the entire world suffer.
THe thing is Griffith is unhinged, thats part of his personality, that is something even most of the band of the hawk never noticed, heck even Rickett had to see Griffith one more time after getting his kingdom to realize he was a scumbag.
I think the idea of final battle with Guts vs Griffith wouldn't be necessary, i would like to see Guts dismantling his order in causality he set up (because you know being a godhand and all) that makes it that Griffith the one who chased him while Guts and Casca stay away from Griffith and become a free man and woman persue their own dream.
Plus we know the fact that Griffith is just too strong for Guts, unless you got some sort of McGuffin's like the traditional shonen stories, but that's not how Berserk really works in storytelling perspectives.
i think it would be more powerful if guts somehow rescuing casca gives up on the idea of revenge and looks down on griffith and all the pain he has caused. imagine how pissed griffith would be
The last chapter could be a repeat of when Guts left Griffith in the snow after their second duel. Except this time Guts looks down on a weak and defeated Griffith with indifference before he walks away with Casca and his child. Together they will struggle and pursue their own dreams without Griffith.
pretty sure the show will end with both guts and griffith dying. Guts will kill griffith not for revenge but to protect his kid with casca. Either that or guts transforms/gets cursed like the current skeleton knight vowing to forever interfere with the god hand. No way guts gets to live a happily ever after, nor are grifith's actions going to be forgiven, mark my words lol.
In terms of a McGuffin, there have been quite a few panels concerning an aura building around The Dragon Slayer and I feel it might be the souls of the demons (or better, the souls of the Band of the Hawk freed from the demons that devoured them) turning the Dragon Slayer into a Godhand Slayer.
No way in hell they will do a happy ending, do you remember how Guts Born? Yeah this story is just depressing the little happiness there is just to be destroyed
Yes Griffith could be seen as having sociopathic behaviors but I do think he cared about those two, atleast to an extent. But after the torture and becoming Fempto he lost any and all of these feelings and emotions.
He was always a piece of shit, it’s just that pieces of shit still have feelings, narcissist and rapists can still love their victims, the thing is that love doesn’t matter, respect does.
Nope sociopaths DON'T LOVE. They see people as an extension of themselves, it's ownership that's all
@@deej5608 Sociopathy is not a medically recognised condition so you’re just making this up
@@deej5608 Some (most?) people are capable of being massive twats without being biologically unable to feel empathy.
Might take some practice, but they'll get there.
Besides, if Griffith didn't love the Band of the Hawk to some extent, why would they make for a worthy sacrifice going by Berserk's logic?
The dude risks his life to save Guts on multiple occasions, seeing someone as more than an extension of yourself to the point of risking your life for them doesn't sound like psychopathy.
The guilt makes no sense that way either.
I'm kind of tired of seeing every villain get labelled a psychopath or sociopath at this point.
You don't need that for a good villain.
Doesn't the fact that they're _not_ make it _worse?_
@@lothara.schmal5092 Eh, both sociopathy and psychopathy get tossed around loosely and refer to what the shrinks call antisocial personality disorder in DSM 5.
Besides the empathy thing, It's usually defined by low impulse control and high time preference (unable to delay gratification, poor long-term planning).
The ability to have delayed gratification seems to be a better predictor of future criminality than many other factors.
Any sufficiently long-term form of selfishness is indistinguishable from altruism, it seems.
But yes, those labels get tossed around whenever a person, fictional or otherwise, does anything bad these days, which is annoying.
“Revenge brings more revenge” but only if you don’t finish the job.
LMAO
This was a top tier video, my good sir. You deserve more subs.
thank you✌️
There is a mistake. Guts didn't understand Griffith, until the eclipse, In the eclipse guts finally understand who was Griffith. He can't accept it at first, but any hope he had in Griffith vanished when he raped Casca. After the eclipse , Guts fully understands Griffith
Btw Guts only left because of Griffith's words, kinda his own fault tbh
For me Griffith also in that process cursed the baby of Casca and guts, and that was his idea from the start, because he wanted everything under his own control, and everything touched by his hands.
Griffith in a way is a character that slowly looses his mind over the ambitions he has, all the people followed Griffith because they believed he could be a good stair to their dreams, and Griffith on the other hand had the dream to get powerful, and with his high IQ he is able to win battles + he has a extreme luck because he is carrying the red egg. And in the dungeon Griffith lost everything, the only thing left was the dream of controlling guts and Casca.
There is something weird before the eclipse, where Griffith and Casca are in a bandwagon there is some movement, and then Casca goes out really weirded out, i think that is 100% Griffith trying to have sex with Casca, and Casca rejecting him, then when he becomes one of the apostles he just does what he wanted from the start.
I always thought about that bandwagon part
I got some parts of the script from some guys on reddit so if you see this thank you
That was actually a good story bro and a good recap on what happened
thanks i appreciate it ✌️
Why is Casca rape always framed by Guts. Like she is nothing. She either property of Griffith or property of Guts. She had a real friendship and respect from Griffith. She earned her place as captain. She met Griffith because she fought the man tnat would have made her a sex slave and won. Griffithnonly helped by giving her a sword. Griffith rapes and is so strong that not even Guts or Skull knight could fight him. She was a strong woman but had no chance of saving her self. Worse than the feeling of rape is the powerless. Keep in mind this is literal hell and she was in first stages of pregnancy with baby the man she loved.
"Guts fell under his control again, as he spends the rest of the story looking for him."
At least... that was the plan.
But then Guts walked away.
He found another family.
He healed Casca.
So Griffith had to get the point across again.
He took Casca, destroyed their new sanctuary, and rendered Guts's year-long efforts useless.
Griffith simply can't let it go.
And that just might be the key to his eventual downfall.
Because he refuses to let it go, HE is now controlled by GUTS.
Because Guts chose to walk away. He chose to be free. To choose something better than chasing an all-powerful being.
And it drives Griffith INSANE.
Misunderstood the censorship in the thumbnail and wondered for a second "why did Griffith challenge Casca to a rap battle"
hahai had to change it after it hit 10k because i thought yt could take this down
So I’m just getting started with the manga (deluxe editions 1&2), and haven’t seen the original anime, but the newer version that was recently on Netflix. However, I think I have one more reason why Griff attacked Casca:
After Griff’s rescue, while Guts and Casca are keeping Griff hidden from the rest of the Hawk band in side the wagon, Casca is in there with Griff alone, sharing her feelings. At that point, Griff lunges at Casca, and starts thrusting his hips at her. Casca at this point both verbally and physically rejects Griff, literally holding him up and off her as he’s so frail by then. Grief’s later action is him taking what she denied him before. It’s much simpler than your theory, but it is plausible.
nice theory✌️
Yeah, the lunging was pretty pitiful i was shook he could even think about his ego at a time like that
I initially only saw the Eclipse scene from the OG anime a few years ago, due to how violent people claimed it to be, I was naturally very confused and even angry, but now that I finally saw the anime a few days ago, I can say the subtext and build up for the whole Eclipse scene was nothing short of brilliant, Miura covered absolutely everything from Griffith’s obsession on “victory” and his dream, on how comfortable he was getting everything he wanted, and how things would only work should he be in control, when Guts decided to leave him, Griffith and the band were already close to royalty in status, they could do fine without Guts, but this is the first instance of Griffith “losing” and not being the Top G, which regardless of how good they’re living, destroys him, Griffith falls to anger and anger clouds his judgement, he beds Charlotte out of anger, it gets him in prison, it is all his fault, yet how it all happens “after” Guts left, in Griffith’s mind, its Guts’ fault, when Griffith finally sees Guts after the torture, his first instinct is to try to choke him, but he doesn’t have the strength to do so, Miura is a complete genius, perfect way of conveying how narcissistic people are in real life
Plus I think it also was completely out of spite to hurts guts like how guts hurt him when he left the band of the hawk to pursue his own feelings.
Griffith is not gay.
He wouldn't have reacted the way he did if he was.
In reality he was devastated after giving up his honour and manhood to some rich man for some wealth to pursue his dream.
He was disgusted with himself deeply, even though it was done in order to chase the thing he valued most, his dream.
For a brief moment, Griffith found content belonging to Casca. His fantasy of becoming Casca's crippled husband became a nightmare knowing Guts would be in the way. This probable outcome of being the third wheel activated the King's Egg.
One thing you forgot to mention that really goes with the narrative is that the more amazing guts became the prouder Griffith felt guts was a power for him to wield and even though I believe he new that guts had surpassed him in swordsmanship a long time ago he could lie to himself based off of their first encounter. It was like everything great that guts did Griffith could count as his own accomplishment and I think he valued the power he could wield through guts thinking that guts would never be able to think for himself. The irony is that guts left because he overheard what Griffith said to charlotte. Guts left because he wanted to be someone Griffith could see as true friend.
Mm, they both planned to leave him but Casca would have stayed and nursed him, this made Griffith feel weak. So he took power from both Casca was destroyed watching her hero turn on her, and all of the rest. It might be the most brutal betrayal in anime.
you re the first and only you tuber that actually brouht up the main point of all of the actions grifith took during the eclipse,most ppl dont even think about it or simply dont want to "see" the "truth" of the matter!the biggest L gutts took from grifith is that he went under grifiths control once more and to the point they arrived to the elf island things were that way,the moment gutts managed to break out of grifiths control(for the 2nd time) grifith poped up to once again bring gutts under his control(by fuckin up everything and taking casca away).i cant wait to see how things will play out from now on
It should also be noted that Griffith did NOT KNOW that Guts and Casca would survive so there's that as well ✌️❤️
It is possible that he knew that they would survive. Possibly with knowledge he gained by becoming a member of the God Hand.
3:21 that scream kind of scared me, made me imagine griffith screaming like that during his torture
Imagine griffith, aizen, and makima having a conversation
Berserk is such an amazing story that Griffith might have made unintentionally the same mistake again.
Being reborn from Casca et Gut's child, his only (potential) weakness might come from the two characters he wished were under his control again and traumatized as Femto.
You can see after his resurrection he slightly felt two heartbeats for both of them.
Griffith made himself a puppet. An unfeeling hero to use the sacrifices of dead comrades and his own pain to attain his dream. He sold his own body to a nobleman to do so. You see him in constant pain when he's alone. The "dream" was the only thing to propel him forward. Guts made him forget his pain and suffering, forget how many died to make that come true. When a friend Griffith loved, which loving someone is something he hadn't allowed himself to do since the beginning, left him alone with that heavy burden returning, he lost his mind and slept with the princess. Griffith is human. His past abuse drove him into insanity and when he called on the belheit, he truly became evil. That kingdom he has now does not make him happy, and now his feelings are truly dead.
The biggest Anime betrayal we ever saw
Devil man crybaby is up there too
Griffith‘s dream is very abstract.I think he wants to try what he can do to the max extent.From this perspective,his dream is endless.
What makes Griffith so insidious is that he's brought so low you can understand why he does what he does... except THAT.
He wouldn't have done THAT if he hadn't found out Guts & Casca had fallen in love, especially in his absence. That's a level of evil that's difficult to describe, because it lacks Griffith's usual grandiosity. It wasn't even about Casca, she was just the bullet in a gun aimed at Guts; a piece of ammunition being expended, and out of maximum cruelty for the pettiest spite.
Beautifully worded.
This reminds me of that case where multiple guys gangraped a girl, and one of them went unpunished because in court he said that he felt no sexual arousal while committing said atrocity. These things are justified in the real world the same way a fictional creep’s actions are.
@@williamshakemilk2192 My answer to that would be along the lines of "you obviously had enough to get it up, buddy. Anyway, nobody said "stop digging.""
I believe he did it as a part of knowing he would be connected with her moonlight child because he knew the future outcome before everyone else did... And to do it out of spite for Guts abandoning him

@@Onepieceistheworstfuckinganime lmao 😜😜😭😭😭
He was mad Guts didnt have the same feelings for him and so he decided to do the most terrible thing he could think of at the moment which was make Guts totally helpless while staring him in the eyes letting him know "this could have been you."
A very interesting point of view, indeed. And a cold reminder of how people act when they see other persons as tools, or their property. I have experienced that in my family, and more recently, in a sort of love triangle, between a girlfriend, a friend of her, and me. He was in love with her, tried to tell her, and was anxious about not being able to, or being rejected. At the same time, he saw me as someone he couldn't compete with, in his own opinion. At first he ignored me, but when he saw I had feelings for that girlfriend too, he became mad and angry at me and saw me as a rival. She realized that, and bravely tried to appease both of us, because she feared that violence could come quickly. I feel sorry for her, because she really loved both of us, but also had to "lie" to both of us in order to avoid rivalry.
I'm 33 and have read/watched so many mangas/anime and Berserk gave me the most profound feelings of dread and sorrow. Bar none.
Honestly that rap song was fire he dropped the hardest mix in all of berserk
Griffith is truly a rapper
That's a very interesting perspective... Much appreciated... Good video
Pretty solid analysis. I have quite a lot of writing on griffith (and guts). Insanely good characters
Loved the character analysis, the plot of berserk gives me more contextual understanding because of this video.
glad u liked this video✌️
this breakdown connected so much questions, kuddos.
it's 2022 and we still can't have consistent audio levels for 4 damn minutes.
My dude you need more subs your content is amazing. Love the video.
Dude i was just recording my next video and u made my day thank you✌️
@@PuckLQ you’re welcome bro
Whats really sad is the fact that guts will never take his revenge cause we will never see the end of the story ...
Why not? Berserk is continuing, new chapters appear. Yes, Miura sadly died, but his childhood friend helps with new chapters now.
"For the lolz. Lol."
-Kentaro Miura
Great and concise video. I always loved the character of Griffith for his contractions and how he highlights ours as well. It really shows that revenge is a path contrary to freedom...
I've wrote down this comment before I watched this video, to share my opinion. In my opinion, the main reason why Griffith did such thing it's to get to Guts. Grifith newer showed the interest towards Casca that can be define as a romantic interest, so he didn't do it out of jealosy or lust or any other reason that can be dictated by "love" in its turned form. The intention of this deed of his had only one purpose: show Guts that he still has a control over him by taking someone/something that was close and dear to Guts. Casca is an embodiment of a twisted letter in this situation.
P.s I'm not native English speaker
Griffith doesn't just do this to control them, but as personal revenge on Guts for making him to forget his dreams.
He does this again when kidnapp Casca. Not only to control Guts, but for take all the hopes the swordman had.
griffith is the ultimate narcissist he can only see relationships and people as his tools, only care about Guts when he was his best tool ''you are mine now guts''
Well done! Amazing analysis
I think this makes sense but on the other side i think griffith just went nuts for being tortured and staying in darkness for a streight year becouse before he did all this he was imageing guts cheering him on to accomplish his goal while he was about to sacrifice everyone there which made me want to stump his face in untill it was a blody burger so he actually lost literally everything
I mean..from what I could gleam, either Griffith just truly wanted to hurt guts, it was all a part of the prophecy and it was meant to happen due to fate, or it was intended even further to hurt him because it uh.. apparently forced her to have a miscarriage of guts's kid. I remember seeing that somewhere.
Or, maybe it's a combination of all of those answers in one. And if that is the case, the person Griffith became is truly one of the most evil bastards ever made. Rest in peace miura.
I view it as the loss of control more than a love for Casca. He lost Guts, someone he cares for greatly, and then she chooses Gust over him and his carefully crafted inner circle slowly begins to crumble, and he can’t handle that lack of control.
imma be pissed if the manga doesnt have griffiths head separated from his body by guts at some point
the rage i had when he did that to casca. poor Guts
“He did it to Casca” “poor Guts”
Not poor casca? 🤨
Poor Casca wtf
The way this sentence reads is horrific
I’m surprised the creator has even liked this such lack of awareness comment…
guts is under griffith physically while griffith is under guts mentally. yin and yang, black and white. literally.
The most disturbing escene in anime history.
Something interesting that i havent seen many people comment on, is that griffith probably did consider guts a friend as during his famous speech about dreams he brings the example of wanting to be a master swordsman when reffering to what a dream is. Griffith had differentiated guts from the other soldiers since the beginning but guts just didnt see it. Its probably why he was so upset when guts left as he couldnt see his reason for this action.
I hated Griffith the moment I saw him. I’m reading blind right now but I hated that smug, narcissistic bastard the moment he was introduced.
While everyone admired Griffith it was clear from the start that people like him are to be avoided at all costs, and often the same reasons people like a narcissistic person are what make them so horrible to those close to them. They’re appealing and draw you in only to use you for their own gain, and once you’re aware of it you spot people like that right away and you feel crazy for distrusting and disliking them while everybody else admires them. And then it turns out they were in fact horrible to those close to them. I was raised by a narcissistic dad, and once you learn the signs you can spot them immediately in those that show them so I knew to hate Griffith.
I haven't watched this series but this dude sounds like Light Yagami all over again .
Got the red flag right when " I'll be the god of this new world " slipped his mouth .
@@humanman9920 At least Light meant good at the start but was "corrupted" by power. I agreed with what he was doing for a short while, even if he was arrogant he was smart enough to back it up and didn't bother anybody before finding the Death Note. Light thinks he's more capable than most (which isn't incorrect as he's super smart). He didn't think he deserves more than anybody else for free, but thought that nobody could stop him from using his skills to get what he wanted.
Griffith however I despise on a personal level because it was immediately obvious that he values himself over everybody else and doesn't see others as people but just tools to achieve what he wants just like any other narcissist.
So when they say "God of the new world" Light means he'll climb there using his wits and skills, while Griffith wants to get there by manipulating people to further his own agenda. Sure Light manipulates Misa but that's one person and he thinks he's doing it for the greater good, while Griffith has no concern for others and manipulates everyone and everything around him.
@@noamias4897 Your words are true about Griffith, especially that he killed all his comrades and took advantage of the person he loved most and marginalized him. He did not value them for themselves, but for their capabilities and the gains they might achieve for him. But I also heard that he saw in Gates the wonderful competitor and the motivating friend because he forgot all his dreams, and this is what Griffith said. And that what he did is nothing but now that he felt that they had abandoned him, so when Gates left him, he decided to go to the queen to throw himself in captivity, because it is the only idea that will return Gates to work under his banner. But it's too late Then he noticed that Casca was willing to go with Guts and leave him, but she backed out to treat and protect Griffith I am still floundering in understanding this character, as he is the oppressor and the oppressed I can't accept what he did with Casca at all She didn't deserve that treatment But what is certain is that Griffith is a very wonderful philosophical villain Sorry for my bad language
What he did to Casca, is it revenge on her for her decision to leave with Gates, or revenge on Gates himself? Or that he really, as some say, saved her from the rest of those creatures that wanted to kill her?
@@noamias4897 Don't you think that makes Griffith the greatest villain in anime?
@@Mikasa-kz9ot I think like all narcissists he does what he does to Casca because he is insecure. Guts left him and Casca almost left him for Guts, so not only did he lose control of Guts but almost Casca as well, who adored him before.
Like Dutch in RDR2 (fantastic game and fantastic character) he couldn't handle people doubting him. So he had to "assert dominance" or gain control again.
I think Griffith is a bit too cruel to be the best villain, too much of his villainy is just evil. But I don't think he was meant to be the best villain ever, just the best for this story
Or maybe that was the only way to make things spiral into the events of his resurrection and fantasia. Femto should have 0 feelings, at least when he was first formed.
I mean, he did know skull knight would use the sword of actuation. It's not much of a stretch.
I feel like a lot of Berserk fans oversimplify Griffith's character. He is not simply a narcisistic abuser who wanted to control people. Yes, he is now undoubtedly evil, I'm not trying to argue with that, I'm just saying that he was a human character with human emotions
He didn't love Guts because he saw him as a toy, it was the exact opposite. He is the only one he truly trusted and could let his guard around. And yes, he was deeply in love with him. Griffith being gay is blatant, I don't know why it's even debated. He was immediatelly infatuated the moment he saw Guts, much to Casca's frustration. She points out multiple times how Griffith is obsessed with Guts, constantly makes exceptions for him, keeps him in the army despite not sticking to plans and values him much more than Casca, despite her being much more loyal to him for much longer. Griffith is a man who carefully plans everything in his life, yet it is only with Guts when he lets his emotions get the best of him. Guts even asks him why and he replies with "Do I really need a reason to put myself in harms way because of you?". Griffith, the meticilous planner with great ambitious for the future, was willing to throw his life away for this man!
Also, Griffith is not gay because he slept with that disgusting nobleman at all - he did that because of money and no other reason, it had nothing to do with his sexuality, and it traumatized him. It was the only time he used sex as an exchange. When he had a breakdown in the river he showed how guilty he felt for sacrificing people for the sake of his dream and how it was about time he got his own hands dirty. However, what he said was that they "chose" to die for the sake of his dream, the same way he "chose" to sleep with that nobleman. This was nothing but coping, a lie he tried to make himself believe. He felt immensely guilty
What he felt when Guts left him was simply heartbreak. Yes, he was flirting with the princess for the sake of power, but him coming into her bedroom immediately after Guts left him was anything but a calculated decision. It was a way to cope with loosing Guts. He literally thought about him while fucking Charlette. Once again, his feelings for Guts made him act irrationally
He also did truly care about the band of the hawk. Maybe not as much as he cared for Guts specifically, but remember, sacrifices for the eclipse need to be people one deeply cares about. Not just any person will work
And now we get to Casca... He saw Casca like any other of his soliders. He wasn't at all interested in her, nor did he care about her advances. The reason he raped her is simply because he wanted to hurt Guts. He was jelaous, and wanted revenge cause he left him. It wasn't about Casca at all
Griffith loves pussy too much to be straight up gay. He's bi, one hundo. Or was. Now he's just a demon that probably fucks Charlotte just to keep her satisfied but otherwise couldn't care less.
Also, you're wrong about Casca. It may have been 90% about Guts, but in the manga he also expressed dismay that Casca had fallen for Guts and her worship of him (Griffith) had turned to pity. Raping Casca was also meant to reestablish control over her.
You almost have *1 MILLION VIEWS!* Well done. 👏
😼almost there
When I think about that horrible act Griffith done to casca , I think we should too remember that he was femto ( all the things im gonna say is not for excuse him or relieve him of responsibility)
Like remember the scene where guts start to loose his mine too and just bite casca's chest like it was a big sandwich,
What Im trying to say Its that for me when I read the manga I really had the feeling that when he made the sort of pact /sacrifice , he split he's person in 2 , the worst part in him (femto) that represente the worst demon a human can have (like all the other apostle) and he's sort of "pure" part, that part that show in others dreams or that help other and all... And again I felt like in the manga , If you became on apostle or made a pact with evil and all those shit , the little demons inside you ( that every human have ) is ready to become real , like it happen for a moment for guts when he did that to casca and was about to become berserk.
I think theres the fantasy part too that people forget to talk about , and about all the scene where Griffith show actually real emotions , not a lot but still enough for me to think hes more than just a psycopath , or i think its even harder than that.
Idk If i talk properly cause My english is bad but hopes so , still Griffith is great villain.
Thanks for you, the person that read until here cause i guess its a super long comment!

Okey hear me out Griffith was gay and casca stealed his lover (guts) and he got mad and raped casca
Basically what actually happened in the story lmao 😂
This is a great video! It explained it perfectly, thank you. It makes sense now.
I was mourning Miura's death, and thought of Berserk. A question came to mind: why did Grifith sacrificed all the band? My answer was that he wanted to survive. What was wrong with him? He was destroyed under torture.
Why was he tortured? He slept with the monarch's daughter. Why did he do such a reckless act? He loved Guts, but Guts had fought him and was finally allowed to leave (Grifith said you shall leave only if you beat me in a sword fight.) It was a sudden outburst of emotions, perhaps losing control over Guts. Or maybe he loved Guts so much. Either way, the event hurt him so much that he sacrificed the whole band without a moment's thought.
This is causality, and I love it.
Short and precise. I would like to believe that this is what Muira had in mind when building the character of Griffith. The intended ending (365) illustrates that your take on Guts and Grifiths relationship is truly how it’s intended to be perceived by the readers.
(Chapter 350 and beyond spoilers.)
Throughout Guts journey with Casca and the others, Guts slowly started to not care much about revenge and realize that Casca and his peers are what truly matter. This is the point were Griffith started to loose control over Guts. Just as Cascas sanity was restored, giving the chance for Guts to rebuilt his relationship with Casca, Griffith shows up. By taking away Casca from Guts, Griffith demonstrated to Guts that he is still his master. That everything Guts tries to achieve fails because because it isn’t by Griffiths commands/wishes.
I love your take on their relationship, the only objective take in my eyes lol.
He really did everything wrong.
It all makes senses nicely done bro 😮🤔👍
Just finished reading vol 2. thanks for the spoiler in your thumbnail.
Griffith is such a son of a
dog
I don’t understand how casca sees Griffith as a savior and guts as a monster. Is it just base on appearance??? Can someone explain
But in the dream sequence she literally saw Guts as her protector and Griffith as a monster
@@viggokozak6468 true af Forreal
It’s a defensive mechanism. She has to remember the old Griffith because if she realized the truth, her mind would break under the trauma. Guts is the main trigger because he’s the only other survivor of the eclipse and he carries the mark and dark/strong feelings of hatred. Also, Griffith is sharing a body with Cascas son so she innately trusts him.
