The Most HUMAN Overpowered Main Character - Guts from Berserk
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2018
- I discussed overpowered characters for a while, recently from newer shows like escanor from seven deadly sins or all might from hero academia... none are quite the masterpiece like Guts from Berserk despite loving both of those dearly, i'm pretty proud of this video... hope you enjoy.
maybe we'll do a griffith analysis if you liked this one, or a full episode on Guts berserk armor...

They say Death once had a near Guts experience.
lol
That's a good one.
LMaooo!
Well considering during the eclipse the angels of death were summoned. I'd say this is canon.
Guts is Death
Guts is the guy who doesn’t feel the need to tell you he hasn’t sleep in days when you tell him you’re tired
i dont want to ruin 69 likes..
Wowhow Bizarre it’s funny u said that because that literally happened in the manga and he literally told someone he didn’t sleep in days
Jayden Badie on which character did he told that to?
@@Somespideronline i think it was puck or iner monolog at the beginning of the lost children arc
Man literally cannot sleep more than few hours each night
The part where Guts kills the Count and leaves his daughter with literally nothing left to live for was one of the craziest and most thought provocing parts of the story. She says she's going to kill herself and Guts just tosses her his dagger and says "well do it then". He doesn't do that because he is evil or edgey. He does it to save her life. He knows that just like himself, this poor girl had lost everything including the will to live and became broken. So because he didn't know any other way to help her, he turned her into something similar to himself. He gave her someone to hate the same way he hates Griffith. He gives her an enemy worth seeking revenge against. A reason to live, even though it will be a dark life. So she decides not to kill herself but instead she swears vengeance against Guts. She is now a struggler the same as him. Driven forward by hatred but still living to fight another day with the potential to one day make herself whole again. It wasn't the right thing to do. But Guts himself was broken. It was all he could do. As he walks away he breaks down into tears knowing he had just created a dark, broken soul.
None of this is spelled out for the reader. It's something that at first glance seems like an edgey dick move. But once you think about it the real message becomes clear. That is why Berserk is the best story ever written.

@100gg how can it be unrealistic and unreasonable while also being generic. Kind of contradicting yourself there. What's unrealistic or unreasonable about it? Give me some examples?
Batman: I have the darkest origin. I've lost my parents.
Guts: That's cute.
P Sai Prateek bruce way had it easy , lot of money , alfred to take care , face some humanoid ennemies . Guts , alone , face monsters way stronger than him , see his gf get raped , get raped as a kid , betrayed by his best friend to die...
Well they are not relatable at all. Btw guts dont care about justice.
Yeah his backstory literally starts of him being born under his mother's corpse, and his only father figure betrays him, and that isn't even bad compared to the eclipse
@P Sai Prateek well Batman doesn't kill
Guts has killed children woman men monsters everything
@P Sai Prateek pls dont even compare Guts to that weirdo dressed as a freaking BAT lmfaooo
@Miguwara Luffy
But they're more alike than you'd think. Both are violent. Both are very much insane. Both choose to bottle up their respective traumas until it manifests violently. Both dress in black. Both are stupidly powerful despite just being humans because plot armor. Both are even rape victims.
I feel like I and every Berserk fan can now truly relate to Guts... In the endless struggle to find a good adaptation
I have literaly finished 1997 series 4 hours ago and I want more.I want to know what happens next because my favorite part of Berserk is the first episode of Guts traveling,killing demons and being badass.
Bojangbn Stevich that’s a pretty stand alone episode guts does continue travelling and hunting apostles but he loses his edgyness and eventually gets a group of kids he babysits
@@jimmycoon3320
I dont care because I love Guts' caracter on the whole.And I know somethings that happen like Griffith fighting against an empire and creating a city in which humans and demons live together which all sounds awesome and I must read it.I also know that Guts at a point tries to rape Casca because he is taken over by his iner demon,but snaps out of it and I want to watch Guts strugle between his humanity and his demon.
Bojangbn Stevich oh if you’re reading it the misty valley arc is probably what you’re looking for
Bojangbn Stevich kissmanga.com read the whole story from when he was born to his everyday struggle

Kirito flexing

People: WOOOOO YEAHHHH
facts Kirito is nothing compared to Guts.
Kirito has nothing to flex all of his achievements are virtual and all due to plot armor
Guts actually HAS muscles with which to flex.
Guts doesn't need to flex, he's a man of action that doesn't care what people think of him, he doesn't need to prove himself, he already has.
Blue Thank you.
I miss when not everything was not decided by plot armor.
Looking at like HxH or one piece:
When Luffy fought Enel, he didn’t win only because of being rubber. But due to Enel’s god-complex.
What would happen to you, if you could read-minds, destroy countries, not physically be touched.
Then suddenly, you were touched. You used your power to it’s limit, having no effect. Everything you’ve touched is effected by you. You don’t comprehend there is even a material uneffected.
You have no reasons to try to kill this thing. To waste time. You would just leave. Especially after finally finishing your plans, that go beyond that world.
HxH every where they get costs lives. No one is randomly revived or safe due to plot armor. There were justifiable reasons.
Look at Gon.
He achieved his goal.
Is he needlessly in the story anymore?
If you read chapters all at once instead of week per week.
It changes a lot.
But if you look at older one piece compared to more recent.
There isn’t just plot armor.
Writers before, had to get deeper because they depended on the re-read.
They could only sell volumes, if they were popular in magazines/ showed things, without explaining.
So the second time read, was unique as well as the first.

Both Guts's and Griffith's characters are genius level depictions. Kentaro Miura has made one of the greatest stories ever. His understanding of how to weave it up like that is absurd. Such good ideas.
And yet..... he takes forever to move it along. I can't tell you how disappointed I was that the newest book is already over a year old with no official release date for the next.
And right when Casca *spoiler alert*!!!

@@sas0kez Honestly that's one of the big things. I find mangakas so fascinating because to make a good story AND have it have good art (made by them) is just pretty amazing. I understand that one of the big things in art is creativity, but to create an amazing story with amazing art, like Kentaro Miura had, is god-like.

Guts was born from his mother after she'd been strung up on a tree and died via hanging. He literally came out of his mother's corpse. THAT was his birth.
Title for "Worst Life Ever" will always and forever go to Guts.
>Got Raped because of his stupid father
>Had to fight Griffith, the only person who accepts him
>Lost all his Friends
>Lost his love ones
>Lost an Arm
>Lost an Eye
>Probably would die someday because of his armor
Sounds like macbeth. The hero tht defeated Macbeth wasnt "woman" born. Just adds to what makes a hero unique.
If you see the story the mother was raped by a demon, gutts has from both worlds.
sergeantassassin3 fr my nigga was bon into hell
I dunno man, Sho Fukamachi from Guyver is pretty damn fucked up too. I'd say he's a competitor for "Worst Life Ever" LOL
> Mother died at an early age when he was a kid so he had to struggle living with just his dad (but at least his dad was a good dude who loved him)
> His entire high school life had to deal with unrequited love from his crush
> Eventually finds the Guyver alien bio enhancing unit and pretty much gets alien tentacle raped
> Chronos pretty much took away his entire life. Lost his school, his friends were killed, some even used to blackmail him on several occassions
> As far as losing body parts, he's pretty much been dismembered in so many different ways. Had his entire brain ripped out of him 2 times causing him to go unconcious, lost an arm and several other body parts ...oh did I mention he died 3 times over? Often time in the most brutal of ways and also being completely disintegrated!
> Oh remember that last bit of family he had left? His dad? Yeah, he was pretty much forced to kill his own father and became traumatized for it.
> Oh and even better! The organization he was fighting against ACTUALLY WINS and TAKES OVER THE PLANET!
>He has the entirety of humanity turned against him having him seen as a terrorist when he's actually the good guy!
>After Chronos takes over X-Day he's pretty much forced to go into hiding while his best ally pretty much becomes power hunger and turns against him..
> Who knows where the "curse" of the wielding the Guyver will take him in his entirety of life. It supposedly slows down aging and/or makes you practically immortal... he will probably be subject to losing the ones he loves over time. Watching them grow old and die, while he doesn't (kind of like Wolverine).
>And well, the stories not even done yet so I'm sure there's still more they can fuck him over on!

Fun Fact: the lone Viking that was defending that bridge in the beginning of the video was rumored to have been killed not by the overflow of men, but rather, from a spear that came from the bottom of the bridge when some of the soldiers on the opposing side snuck under the bridge in a barrel, literally stabbing him in the nuts.
They had to take out his mojo
Sounds fake
@@caralho5237 who knows people heavily embellished historical accounts for the sake of a good story so it's possible the guy didn't even hold the bridge that long.
@@caralho5237 blatantly embellished history was done to make otherwise mundane or less noteworthy feats inspire interest and excitement in those hearing a retelling, so it's more fun to be ignorant to the reality and be amazed by the potential of it being true, while still understanding how unrealistic it is, than to purely dismiss it as fake.

Berserk literally helped me find my will to live when I read it. I have lived an extremely difficult life that has only really started to get better in the past 2 years, and Im 18. Literally every second of my life up until a couple years ago was filled with pain. I have many traumatic experiences in my past and various mental illnesses I was born with. I relate to Guts far more than anyone should, but that is exactly why Berserk saved my life. It taught me that no matter how much my demons try to kill me (mental illness making me suicidal), and no mater how much harder life may feel for me, the only possible way I can ever see my life improve is if Im there to do it with my own two hands. I can't kill myself, or quit fighting, because if I did it would make every ounce of pain I've been through worthless. I too have been branded for sacrifice, to the point where Im soon getting one tattooed on my neck, and that destiny, to be devoured by my demons, is a destiny I will defy until my dying breath. To end with a lil meme
Mental Illness: Do it, kill yourself!
Me: Kill me yourself, you coward!
What a King/Queen! Keep on going my friend, I'm having issues with motivating myself to live, and I'm only 16! This comment is making ME find my will to live!

I just turned 20 a coupl3 months ago, I have an amazing and beautiful girlfriend who I love very much, I have my own place and a decent job, and Ive worked through much of my mental illness and traumatic past. Pick up your Dragonslayer and start the slaughter my fellow struggler! Should demons live within your mind, may they live only in fear!

@@CasulsGittingGud maybe in SAO it's possible. It's clearly not a normal rpg, they have no magic ( rip magic) and through the nervegear they have full control over their character. They could dodge like crazy or attack points to prevent them from attacking. It could also be that he is a higher level than the boss. He wields a sword that is the strongest monster drop and got a sword with the same or higher stats from liz and with dualwielding he basically attacks with 2 of the strongest weapons in the game at the same time. His skills could also have a high level and I guess that dumbass army could habe done a bit damage before. Needless to say kirito had like, 1 hp at the end. (Main character survives at the blink of death like in many anime cliche). He is considered the strongest player, thats why he even has dualwielding. When he met silica he was like, level 78 i thinn it was and that goat dude was the boss of floor 75 or below i think. He could very well have been on a even higher level and if SAO allows so be even over level 100

@@victoraguilera6246 Yeah. In fact, the whole souls series is an ode to Berserk.
Most anime creators as well as mangakas DO know Berserk and acknowledge the author as one of the top if not the BEST among. I bet most of them are fanboys/fangirls of his work. Just like in any other business and field significant people get the most acknowledgement among the rest. Miura won awards for his work and he inspired Dynasty Warriors and Dark Souls.
I like how he used the old "don't judge a book by its cover" thing. After seeing him wear the Berserker Armor he looked completely demonic where as Griffith looked human and angelic. (Or atleast when he isn't in his Femto form.) But that's another thing. Guts looks like a demon until he takes off the helmet and Griffith looks angelic until he shows his true form. Sometimes appearances can be deceiving.
Immortal Gamer fron a peasant to a hawk then a eagle.
Berserk possesses one of my favourite character features, where the character representing darkness & dressing like a monster is the good guy, while the being of pure white & appearing as an angel is the true evil here. Show someone a picture of Griffith & Guts wearing their respective armours & surely they’d guess wrong on who’s good & who’s evil.
@Craig Yates literally what the fuck are you talking about
The irony in Griffith becoming a beacon of hope for humanity after the stuff he's done is so well written from a story perspective. It's even mentioned during the eclipse when Griffith is showed just how much carnage and death he caused to get where he is, and that he embraces the deaths of people he commands if it means reaching his dream. It's especially apparent when it comes to what he did to the Band of the Hawk members, traumatizing and handicapping Guts and mentally destroying Casca because he lost his hold over Guts and lost Cascas worship, like a child throwing a tantrum.
4:52-5:23 What does that mean?
"He isn't a human that became a monster to fight other monsters, he's a human that's constantly pushing himself to his fate-defying limits to the point that he can overpower monsters."
That . . . pretty much describes Guts' sheer willpower. Also, The Bat shares the same experience as Guts. Okay, look, just think about it-- they're both humans pushing themselves past their own limits to overpower their enemies, yet they're still overcoming obstacles that test their willpower.
The fact that Guts is an OP character "done right" makes . . . *Rey*, from the Star Wars sequel trilogy, an amateur.

There have been many black swordsmen in the past. Guts is not the first nor will he be the last.
@lafleurstudios what he's saying is since kirito is a much more popular character than guts, he comes to mind before guts does to a non-berserk fan when the black swordsman alias is mentioned.

I disagree with you on Griffith's perception of Guts as merely a valuable tool. Casca pointed out that Griffith took greater risks and acted without regard to himself in order to save Guts. What Griffith said to the princess about no one who merely follows him being his equal was perhaps Griffith's ideal, but in reality he personally valued Guts as comrade, companion, and friend. That aspect can also be seen when Griffith tries to justify the assasination mission he gives to Guts. He had no reason to justify himself to an inferior, to a tool, but to Griffith the way Guts saw him and his actions WERE important to him.
When Guts hears what Griffith says to the princess about a person who can be his equal, Guts takes that to heart because he WANTS to be the friend that Griffith can look to as an equal, not knowing that Griffith, deep down, already did.
When it comes to the duel that sees Guts defeating Griffith for his freedom, Griffith is destroyed not merely because he lost his idea that he was the best, not merely because he lost a powerful tool, but because he had not realized how much he counted on and valued Guts' presence by his side. Griffith didn't understand his own feelings toward Guts, and so was thrown for a loop when that presence was gone.
This is the heart of Griffith's internal conflict during the events of The Eclipse. He teetered on the edge of making the sacrifice up until the point he saw Guts trying to save him again. At that point he realized that Guts was the only person who could make him forget his lifelong ambition. Guts was the only other person Griffith valued more than himself, and so Griffith's decision to cut out his humanity was the decision to sacrifice Guts.
Why are there no replies on this amazing comment? Dude this is exactly how I felt!
Well yeah .. that's what i thought too when i read that part in the manga .. but i still hate him for what he had done

Guts wouldn't care. Far enough into the story If anything he would emphasize with sasuke because all of his family was killed.
Gutts just kills for money and fame Sasuke goes rogue against he's friends and village
@@kostasparasyrhs262 he's an anti hero not a hero with morals
Something that I noticed about the eclipse is that Griffith took away everything from his followers that he had given them. Guts had a family, and a purpose in the band. Casca had been given the tools to change her future, and the means to stave off sexual assault. She, and Guts are taken back to the point where they met Griffith, and are forced to experience the life that would have happened without him. It’s pretty cyclical.
Omg..damnnn
While the character of Guts evolved, the animation didn't xd
The budget went into Guts’ pure, unadulterated rage.
Nick Smith its like Casca after the eclipse, she got so traumatized that she turned into a potato

The reason we love Guts is because despite his strength, he is always struggling. He is not portrayed as OP in the conventional sense ala Superman. He comes within inches of death nearly every time he goes up against a high tier Apostle. If anyone has the right to say “the struggle is real”, it’s Guts.
nope, guts struggle is the definition of lazy. God have none of you ever heard of AnJ or HnI.

MrsSharkBait Plus the whole "sold by his own surrogate father to another man and raped, then later killing that man and his father and having his entire group of people he grew up with believe that he murdered his father out of spite and hunting him down." People always seems to forget about that part
MrsSharkBait wow! A hundred men!! It's not like many other anime characters have done more than a hundred. Biting a blade? I guess I'm forgetting anime? No his struggle is practilly basic in "struggle."

Ashita no joe is masterpiece but berserk is better
Guts isnt reincarnation bullshit or born from strong bloodline even have hidden power he just HUMAN that just swinging sword for a life
Guts is op but he still gets horrifcly injured both physically and mentaly which is why him beating giant monsters and 100 men believeable.
Kirito beats a monster whos bicep is bigger than he is without injury which just looks stupid.
So what your saying is.... he is a STRUGGLER.
he's saying Gatts has guts

Of course the berserk manga is black and white. It's manga

Le Rana explain?
Le Rana he's not referring to the actual colors of the manga. He's talking about the theme and the whole mode of the manga. That is why you wouldn't like berserk even if you read it. You wouldn't understand half of the stuff there.
Berserk uses a shit ton of black and shading compared to other manga's giving a very eye popping black and white just look up some of the panels.

I know. I was just kidding. Also, nice to see more o-parts hunter fans
I almost always forget that Dragonslayer is just a big ass iron sword that became magical because it slayed soo much demon ass and that fot worn over time because iron sword but when the blacksmith guy repaired it it probably will continue to grow stronger.

Ohhhhh shit I needed that laugh, thanks
my only problem with this video is the fact that you used clips from berserk 2016
Harry Mitchell so?
the fact you complain just seems bad. the 2016 series had little funds.
asura, being of wrath yup true that
asura, being of wrath doesn't excuse it for being bad in nearly every way
so it's immediately excused for looking like horse shit because it has a low budget?
Let’s face it. This video was just an excuse to diss on Kirito.
I think... I came here thinking it was a pure Berserk video so finally I can praise Berserk by being one sided. But I guess I am wrong. Now I am agreeing with some Berserk fans while disagreeing with other Berserk fans. I'm with Guts' and Kirito's side.
“Saying there’s a flawless human is a paradox, because being flawed is what makes us human” straight bars
Who else wishes they’d do the the 3 movie thing with the black swordsmen arc? I remember when people complained about the CGI in those movies, looking pretty great in comparison.
Well there's the series so there's no need for a 3rd movie.
i wish it so much now. i actually liked those movies.
Honestly if they did the anime like they did the openings and certain scenes(hand drawn) the anime would be so much better
on the topic of having a "perfect moral" protagonist i always think of the end of the lost children arc, a peaceful scene where Jill is watching over a mortally wounded Rosine and in stomps Guts hellbent on destroying this serenity and ending this wounded butterfly girls life. i always think that if you showed these few pages to somebody with no former knowledge of berserk or even that arc alone, Guts would 100% be seen as the Antagonist and i LOVE IT
And then you see Guts' covering Jill with his cloak and telling her to go back and not follow him with caring eyes whilst surrounded by ghosts.
It really shows Guts' struggle of turning himself into a monster even though he obviously isn't.
Coming back to watch this after miura passed away
Guts is that guy who plays every video games on the hardest difficulty and still doesn't die once
"the fam of the hawk" 😂😂😂
Berserk x Nux Analysis my fav
The one thing nux missed here is guts giving up isn't an end to his suffering, it's a beginning.
In the blackswordsman arc we learn that anyone with any connections to demon kind will go to the vortex(or hell) and suffer for the rest of eternity.
We need to look no further than vargas, a weak old man who was simply working for the count before he found out he was a demon and ended up in hell when he died.
Guts, casca, and the rest of the hawk(barring rickert) are all destined to hell.
I expected there to be more "R.I.P." comments for Kentaro Miura here by now...
So Nux, did your editor die a bit inside using Berserk 2016/2017 for your video?
Brandon Adrien he died on the outside too
Brandon Adrien he got raped by a latex demon
And a horse
Brandon Adrien 2016/17 was decent if you got past the animation it was actually pretty good if you got past the animation only prob I had with that part was when the flash backs showed casca as white otherwise I think it was pretty good if you can get past the animation
steelersrg8 not really it's not just the animation it's stuff like the cinematography fight choreography the changes they made to the story that just makes no sense
Guts isn't OP when his enemies are literally gods.
Who's the greater monster? The monsters themselves, or the one who takes them down?
Their not God's but demon Lord's but I understand what you're saying.
3rd Gen Guy so a normal human taking down "Gods" (your words) doesn't mean that he's OP... also. I say normal because he isn't a super human/demigod or anything of that sort
In BERSERK there is only one God. It appeared in chapter 83 and Griffith met him. The God Hand are strong ass demons, and even the Skull Knight can't beat them. Guts can only beat apostles and monsters
Well, manifestations of the will of "god" (as defined by that universe) anyway...
RIP kentaro miura
Bruh, Nux needs to bring these back. I enjoy all his content as I have for literal years at this point but I do miss stuff like this.
Guts is the original bad ass black swordsman
but he's white ?
not with berserk armor
Le Boom Baby
U have the same profile pic as i do O_o
But mine is just better theres not those things in it
You mean *only* is right?
The only one*
While I agree on a lot of berserk stuff, saying Emiya Shiro is nice for the sake of nice is overlooking a huge aspect of himself and his eventual transformation. He suffers from survivor's guilt and doesn't think he deserves happiness. His altruism is built on a lie and I think it's important to mention that.
Very well said, completely agree on that note
Yeah Shirou is a great deconstruction of a good guy for the sake of goodness. He is literally incapable of not striving to be a hero, and we see that it isn't healthy.
Yeah and Archer is the proof that his ideals are warped and impossible.
Not enough people read the damn VN to be talking like they know shit, you're right
@@vermilionrubin Sounds interesting, what are you talking about?
RIP Kentaro Miura.
In my opinion, overpowered characters are the ones who can beat every enemy, including hordes of enemies, and they sustain few injuries because they are SO OP. I think it's kind of Mary Sue/Gary Stu kind of thing. Technically, the Doom Slayer may fit the bill BUT he's a video game character, and that's just how video game logic can be.
Anyway, Guts defeats his enemies but he does often sustain many, even near-fatal injuries, some of which leave him exhausted and in pain. Over the years, he has sustained numerous scars, some probably from them not properly healing or being treated. He is willing to push through the pain to continue his fight, even if it means he may very well die at any point by simply NOT retreating. I mean, Guts cut off his own arm to try and save Casca. That's a serious injury, not to mention it permanently maims his body, but he refuses to give up.
Now, his hair is turning grey, his face is tired, his hands tremble, and who knows how badly his body has been broken while in the Berserk armor. I think the armor may be the only thing keeping him from, well, falling apart and dying. However the armor is also causing his body to deteriorate, his senses fading (including his vision), and eventually, he may not be able to see, hear, taste, or feel anything. Without it, though, he wouldn't be standing now.
Take into consideration Guts' messed-up life, how much he's lost, and you can't really say he's overpowered. Not overpowered in the conventional sense at least. I think he's motivated by his emotions, especially his rage and sorrow, and at times, it's because people he cares about are in danger. I think he's so used to pain (mental and physical), so used to surviving on his own, so used to fighting, that he cannot bring himself to surrender. He's been fighting to stay in the world since he was born from his mom's corpse, and thus, he won't give up the fight until one actually kills him.
As for Griffith, he is practically overpowered in the traditional sense, BUT, as a human, he was a fast and thorough learner, acquiring exceptional skills for combat, wielding weapons, how to expert military strategies, and figuring out how people think and feel -- and how he can manipulate them. I think he may be a genius? I mean, he knows so much, and, for most of his life, did everything right in order to reach his goal. But his need for control and inability to accept defeat caused him to falter, and he made a terrible mistake (sleeping with Princess Charlotte).
As Femto, though, well, he's basically a demi-god(?) and it's expected that he'd be incredibly powerful and nearly impossible to kill.
This is basically my thoughts. Calling Guts overpowered is like calling Anakin a Mary Sue. Sure, they both are incredibly powerful and defeat extremely tough enemies, but Guts specifically is always on the verge of death during and after every fight. He could have died early on in the battle with the two insect demons, and he could be killed by Void, and both would be perfectly consistent with his abilities. Its his sheer determination to survive and his ability to think on his feet that makes him victorious.
Essentially, against modern soldiers with machine guns, the apostles would survive through their physique, Griffith would somehow make all the bullets miss, and the wizards would put up a shield, and they would destroy the gun easily. Guts, on the other hand, would be fighting tooth and nail just to survive,, let alone win.
Even though they'd probably join forces and become the ultimate demon-killing duo, I still wonder who would win in a fight between Doomguy and Guts.
Well, considering that Doomguy has an impenetrable armor, guns and almost, if not infinite stamina, I'd have to go with Doomguy. As much as I like Guts, he wouldn't be able to win against him.
I would pay to see that !
@@XxSLaYerZzxX I wouldn`t be so sure if Guts wears the Berserkers Armour... also Dragonslayer is Pretty fucking op aswell… depends on which weapons DG can use… but if it were an unarmed fight I would acually place my bets on Guts...
Both are pretty equal in fighting strength in terms of ability it really depends on the situation. Both would be pretty on par, though endurance is something Doomguy isnt known for especially when explosive barrels are a threat to him no matter what.
@@cubecrasher7606 doomguy with his chainsaw vs guts with his sword, but no berserker armor
Guts is my favorite op main character of all time!! And yet he's so well developed.
not op.... far from it
I mean i haven't seen the anime or read the manga yet but i think he's top 4 or 5 for me already
Going on a binge of my favorite Berserk video essays today. RIP Kentaro Miura. Thank you so much for all of the art you have left behind and all of the people and work you will continue to influence.
Rest in Peace, Kentaro Miura. You wrote one of the most beautiful stories that I've ever seen. And I am sure many more share the same feeling. You are no longer in the physical world, but your legend will remain.
Guts is one of the most most badass and savage anime characters I’ve ever seen. I can see why he’s called “The Black Swordsmen.” He’s a real man lol!
The real Black Swordsman
Lord Farquiplier what are you speaking about? The true Black Swordman is Donovan!!
Mariano Sanchez I CHOKED
He's quite pale actually
Feel free to insult me but berserk is basically the only manga/anime i can get into
Same
Just want to point out: around 16:35 when you start taking about Guts and Griffith's relationship, one of the major things that causes Griffith to slip up and get caught was that he did *genuinely* consider Guts a friend, even by all of those standards. Guts was the single exception to his rule. It gets played up by the fans sure but Griffith outright loved Guts and him leaving the Hawks broke Griffith's spirit. The manga even shows that when he's having sex with Charlotte, he's thinking about Guts. It's extremely likely that if Guts never left, the Eclipse would not have happened, or at least would not have happened when it did and for the same reasons.
*_Just a sidenote regarding Shirou:_* He's been horribly mishandled in almost every single adaptation of Fate/Stay Night. He's not supposed to be "good for the sake of being good". His traumatic childhood experience and subsequent rescue by Kiritsugu completely warped his values. He was envious of how joyful his adoptive father seemed when he found Shirou beneath the rubble, saying "it seemed like Kiritsugu was the one saved that day", desiring to tap into that emotion after losing most of his self-esteem to survivor's guilt. The whole "I want to be a Hero of Justice" is really "I want to help people because it's the only thing I actively enjoy doing". This isn't some crazy unrealistic concept: _many people with low self-esteem believe that only by helping others can they help themselves._ That describes Shirou very accurately. The problem with most adaptations of the Visual Novel is that a) they lack his internal dialogue, which helps flesh him out as someone different from the "white knight" image and reveals more of his thoughts on certain matters, and b) experiencing the series "in chunks" instead of a complete entity takes away from Shirou's multi-faceted personality; in *Fate* he's heroic to a fault and his warped personality isn't questioned, in *Unlimited Blade Works* his ideals are clearly shown to be flawed and impossible to acomplish yet he continues to pursue them because that's what makes him happy, and *Heaven's Feel* takes it to the ultimate conclusion that all Shirou really wants is to be happy and will sacrifice his ideals if they prevent that; by experiencing all three routes, you get to understand Shirou on a deep level, but if you only experience one you'll get a very incomplete picture of who he is.
Great comment dude, bad luck most people won't read it. Really a shame, cause that Shirou line is the only thing from the video that ticked me off. Nux probably just wacthed the UBW anime and hated Shirou. Can't say I blame him, but after reding the VN, I have to say, he couldn't have picked a worse example for someone who's good for the sake of being so.
25neurus Actually, even in anime Fate UBW, Emiya is misunderstood by some people. Watch carefully of all his actions & history, he's more complex than people realized.
Also, Heaven's Feel will massively delves deep into this.
Only Fate Stay/Night first anime that really need another re-adapt & generally it's the most straightforward storyline.
Croz Raven I know he's misunderstood by many, he's a complex character, after all. I was just commenting that the Ubw anime didn't do the best job in adapting his character, making it hard, if not impossible to truly understand. The Vn has much of the needed development.
I hope after Ufotable adapts Heaven's Feel they'll adapt the Fate route and release a compilation including Fate/Zero and the entire Fate/Stay Night story in one collectors box.
Very unlikely but it would help people get the full picture of what is going on.
Another thing I hope eventually gets released would be a port of Fate/Stay Night Realta Nua for PC. That would be godlike.
BrokenMoonStudios I would prefer for Fate/Hollow Ataraxia adaptation (it really need some love) for a full anime series, meanwhile Fate Stay Night "fate" route re-adapt again in movie parts format (like heaven's feel) to make the story more solid & less dragging that mostly happened in series format.
It might not official, but I thought we already have the FSN Realta Nua on PC with community english patches. I haven't played this version myself so I might be wrong.
If Type Moon really want to remake or retelling the VN game, then I would prefer if they put some big budgets & partner up with game devs like Tri Crescendo (Tales of games) or Bandai Namco Studios or even PlatinumGames. After all, we're in a time of novel & manga series has a full games.

Most people miss the fact that the brand actually gives Guts more power, for the same reason he is surrounded by ghosts. He is in the spirit world, at least partially, allowing his emotions to be used as physical strength.
I have a feeling that Guts is somewhat related to Doomguy
