Rest In Peace, Kentaro Miura. An absolute legend whose storytelling transcends and will continue to transcend forever. It’s impossible to put into words how much he touched my life with Berserk and that is also true with countless others around the world. Thank you❤️
Do you think it’s possible for anyone to ever achieve a feat like that again?
I think another understated aspect of Judeau's character is his relationship with Griffith. He seems to be the only member besides Guts who doesn't worship Griffith and is aware of his dark side. I don't even get the impression that Judea thinks Griffith is a good person, but he knows Griffith can accomplish great things.
He's definitely one of the only ones to realize that Griffith is much more pragmatic and cynical than many would like to believe.
I think you hit that right on the nail mate that was always the impression i got. I wont lie i was very angry that it was Rickert that survived the eclipse and not Judeau but in recent chapters he has live up to the exceptions of the the rest of the hawks
Aleczandxr Watching this video again, I realize that if Judeau didn't think he was worthy enough to follow his own dreams, he wasn't worthy enough of Casca's affection either.
It seems both Judeau and Casca suffered from low self-esteem.
Edward Gaines I think it was because he knew her feelings for Griffith were more than just jealousy of Gutz becoming the favorite. He didn’t want to “steal” someone’s love away
@@SunniMerlot Yeah, but whose love? From Griffith or Guts? Judeau saw their mounting attraction to each other, Casca and Guts.
"I’m a jack of all trades… a little better than most at everything, but I don’t shine at anything.
[...] I realized that I could never be the best...-"
But you were wrong, Judeau: You were the best of all of them.
sure a best friend a man can dream of. Fuck Griffith
@Le Monke true bro he was deadly with those things
@skeet And saving casca
Right to the feels
Best boy
Judeau is my most favorite character in Berserk.
I don't think that Judeau didn't pursue Casca because he felt he wasn't good enough, but more because his extreme empathy and understanding of people made him recognize her unwavering loyalty to Griffith to the point where (until Guts) she would never give herself to anyone else. She didn't even get close to other Hawk members, really- and there's something to be said about her being an outsider both in gender and in race as well.
She was in the Hawks only for Griffith. She led them after his capture only in the hopes of rescuing him...
I truly believe that Judeau is one of the only characters in Berserk that doesn't use or stereotype Casca. She's not just bound by her gender. She's not a sword to fight for Griffith, or a hot water bottle to warm Guts and keep him alive. She's not a reason to seek revenge. She's not a sex object. Judeau genuinely loves Casca and because his love for her is so untouched by selfishness or prejudice, he only wants her happiness.
This was a beautiful tribute to his character ❤
LexieDi came here to say this, but you said it better than I ever could have. Judeau must have known that Casca could never feel the same way. As stated in the video, he knows his limitations and accepts them regardless of how painful that might be. He accepts the fact that he isn’t on par with Griffith or Guts, so he just does his best to comfort and protect Casca however possible, without revealing his true feelings
yeah, I couldn't have said this any better.
@Michael Carnevale probably win Casca Fell in love guts since guts only see Casca as a women
OMG.... I'm crying
Judeau's death was one of the more heart breaking moments for me with Berserk. He's such a great character.
Likewise, he was gone far too soon.
Adam Mason He was the only member of the band besides Rickert that I cared about.
Adam Mason it would be mess up if grith somehow resurrect all of the hawk band.
you talking to me? john wayne
if so i meant it in a good manner
ThatUJohnWayne 😂😂
I'm surprised you didn't mention in the video that Judeau was the one that taught Guts how to use throwing knives. Every time Guts uses one of those knives it reminds me of Judeau.
Omg same, every time I see the knives on guts after the eclipse, I'm reminded that guts quite literally carries the burden of all his lost friends, break muh heart Judeau was my fave ❤❤
Wow... this just fucked me up..:(
damn im fucked up right there with y'all
His giant sword reminds me of Pippin, and his crossbow reminds me of Rickert.
@@LordVader1094 rickert still alive tho.
You know I always loved Judeau as a character, when I first read the manga it was already heart wrenching to see everyone died but damn Judeau's death man, he tried his best to protect Casca and getting out of the situation to me he died like a hero.
Yep, his death affected me the most by far because of how heroic he was, yet how regretful his life potentially has been for him.
It still gets me EVERY time, I can't watch Judeau's death without crying he's my favorite ❤
A true hero.
wait hold on its a "he"?
Him and pippin for me
Judeau is the BEST WINGMAN in the history of media. There will never be a better supporting character in the world.
He ran so guts and casca could walk
@Ladarius Capers Pippen got it worse he was killed in battle by one of the apostles then the Count rips him in half to trick Guts
@Ladarius Capers hope they animate the counts death better in the new anime 😅
@@nonenone9815he walked so they could run
You cry a lot when you're alone don't you Casca
666melodeath666 I get chills to this day
Ah, shit. :'''(
Mistranslation
Naj Adamu if it is a mistranslation doesnt really matter it's a great quote regardless
Why do you do this
and the worst part here is that he is in hell just because he has the brand of sacrifice bruh
Catfish well he's actually just in the void but thats still as bad. They are just walking forever
Siegfried Final can u explain more. what Chu mean
The abyss(berserk's hell)isn't a place of torment,souls there just wonder aimlessly
Teymour That is Guts and Casca's fate as well.
And it isn't really "Hell". All souls in the Abyss lose their individuality.
They aren't tortured.
Griffith will likely go their too should he be killed.
Rickert is the only one who isn't destined to go to the Abyss.
0816 M3RC if they lost individuality the crippled man himself wouldn’t have dragged the slug apostle personally into the void.
I felt like Judeau was the character in the Golden Age that the reader was supposed to identify with. Your average likable dude. That made the eclipse feel like Griffith was directly betraying and sacrificing the reader too by proxy. Maybe this was just me though. Of all the characters sacrificed during the eclipse Judeau hit hardest for me.
Mine was gaston
mine was pippin
he was quiet most of the time but would speak and even shout for the sake of his comrades' lives, he's even the one who's always making sure they're ok when under attack
died fighting for the sake of everyone else despite knowing its hopeless
Judeau is so popular. He's boyish, charismatic and the charming rogue. Everybody likes the knife-throwing badass trope.
Judeau is my favorite character ever. just a humble intelligent human being that has such an easy going charisma. I would love someone like him as a friend. Judeau is just chilling heavy , a true hero and G!
Amen, Judeau is the besttttttestttt ❤❤
Everybody sees guts suffering: wow he's just like me.
Me seeing Judea give up on his dreams: wow he's just like me.
Judeau's death is almost dignified in the Eclipse, he's one of (probably the only) few that actually manage to injure an apostle but also he's not torn to shreds, his worst injury are two puncture wounds he sustains guarding Casca while everyone else is maimed in some way. Judeau dies with his entire body in tact
Doesnt make it any less painful
at least it was nice that Kentaro treated his Death with more dignity and with a Heroic sense of respect
Pippin died a heroic death too
@@nickelcadmium1401 his body was ripped apart tho smh
@@saulhernnadez9203 yeah but he died protecting the other members of the band so that they could run
Judeau the friend-zone guy. He knows it's for the better so he just does not say anything.
@@goldenyuri3556 If you love someone, let them be happy huh?
Well women are hypergamous so he won't win as Griffith is the top one/Alpha in the group & rescued her, & Guts is kinda equal, he is slightly higher than her as a better fighter & liked more by Griffith & respected by the team.
Judeau is a fucking legend.
He's like the silent observer trying to sneakily influence situations giving the best turnout for the people involved, regardless how he felt about it.
Casca is the type who wouldn't cry in front of the other band members; expect Guts, Griffith, and Judeau.
For Judaeu specifically, I think it proves how much trust she has of him. When he said his last words to Casca, I don't think it was heartbreaking just because he couldn't confess, but the trust and 'maybe some sort of love' that Casca had for him hit her harder than we think. Both had a comfortable trusting relationship with each other. JudaeuXCasca will touch many hearts.
I quote a post I saw - Judeau died like a man, whilst Griffith lived like a bitch.
Thank you for giving this beautiful character the attention and analysis he deserves.
Judeau, the man that you can gladly call: MY NIGGA!
Chris Jean for certain , he's a G
No you can't cuz he was white
Sir Gus the Mighty ok, your opinion
Judeau is my homie I'm gunna smoke one for my G
Just asked the voice actor of Judeau about his voice acting career, because there's literally nothing online, and now he's in real estate, but enjoyed his run. This was his first character to voice, and he also loved the show like we do, as well as this character.
Judeau was always my favorite character of the golden age arc. Wish I got to see more of him.
Same here. Although, I guess that sentiment is part of the reason that his death is so powerful.
These type of Videos keep me alive during the long hiatus
Tim io the hundred year hiatus!!
Giovanni wow rejoice! for we will soon be out of hiatus!
Richard Bayfield hiatus is when the author decides to take an indefinite long break.
could be years, could be months, could be weeks
could be decades
Aaaaaand another hiatus well at least hunter hunter is back right....
Tim io Hell yes!
Judeau character is the embodiment of friendship. He was so sensitive and attentive for people around him. He deserve be celebrate.
Judeau is so underappreciated. I'm so glad someone else could see his worth! I feel like I can relate to this character more than any other character in this series.
Rip pippin
SkerryKerry pipin was pimpin.
Oh... Ma nigga Pippin... RIP.
At least he died like a motherfucking beast instead of sniveling like Corkus. RIP Pippin you deserved so much better.
Rippin' Pippin
That's what the Slug Baron did.
i agree. corkus surrendered to a demon thot while pippen went out like the warrior he is
Judeau seems like the type of friend that you'd just want to remind that his life means SOMETHING and he has nothing to be insecure about. I remember how emotional I was seeing his death, man...
Judeau was my favourite character. He's just such a cool guy, so likable. He's the one I most identified with personally. He's the one I was most sad about to see die... Especially the way he died.
Your interpretation of him as a selfless figure is spot on. It's the sort of dark and depressing selflessness that brands you a sacrifice to others (with or without an Eclipse).
Also note the irony of his death. 8:43. He's pinning her down and "thrusting" with the blows of apostles. Miura made this intentionally "sexual" to show his unrequited feelings and the intimacy of the moment. Tragically ironic.
When he died, I honestly just couldn’t deal, the smartest, most heartfelt, tragic and notable of the hawks. I actually felt as though I lost a friend (I mean I had none when I was watching/reading berserk) that’s how you write a relatable character without throwing a bunch of overly obvious sentiments at your audience making the character an empty marketing tool.
Out of everyone in the world Judeau is actually the one person that will willingly be your friend everytime I think of how kind people are too me half the time I think of them as Judeau and accept their friendship.
I didn't think much of Judeau but when he died, And his inner monologue really hit me... Well tbh the whole sacrifice was an emotional rollercoaster
too bad all these good secondary characters like this fucking DIED
Blame fate. Or Miura.
Aleczandxr I blame both
there were replaced by equally good characters. Farnese, Serpico and Schierke have nothing to learn from Judeau and Corkus.
cesverc well yea I like them too but how do we know they won't have the same fate as the last squad
Deity Saturn yeah, the show is building up to a new crisis. We can only wonder how many of his friends will Guts be able to save this time.
Judeau was my favourite characters in the Golden Age Arc and still is among my favourite characters of the series. His character had a warmer charm to it than Griffith's coldness, and his death was one of the most memorable thus far in the story. I kind of hope that later in the story, Guts briefly has a way to temporarily reunite or at least see his old friends before the climax of the manga.
You need more subscribers. Definitely spreading the word
Very much appreciated, thank you!
IM stealing this video
“You should take her with you this time... even if you had to drag her with you...”
And the sad thing is that not only did that happen... but Guts didn’t do it in time to save himself and Casca... and only started doing it when it was far to late. It’s sad, because most of us have what we wanted along right beside us, but are too stupid or selfish to see that.
For what I know, Judeau is/was a fan favorite.
Yep, and for really good reason. I really loved him.
Absolutely brilliant music choice yet again.
I really love when people acknowledge the music choice, because I definitely put lots of thought into it. Thank you!
The Faron woods theme fits Berserk so well it's uncanny, excellent choice my guy.
Aleczandxr 9:34 Nearly cried what is the name of the music please.
Man, you're the absolute king when it comes to these types of videos. So amazing. Hunter X Hunter, Berserk, Monster, Final Fantasy, whatever it is, it's always so good. Keep doing what you're doing my man. You're gonna blow up soon.
Thank you so, so much. The support I receive sometimes is absolutely unreal.
Aleczandxr you deserve it, believe me
I agree. This is gonna sound kinda cheesy but you really put good thought and passion with your analysis. Keep grinding bruh. You will get big.
And Judeau to me was THE ultimate bro.
Did you watch Gantz yet?
Well done, as usual. Berserk is a treasure trove for character analysis.
Thanks! And I agree - half my job is done for me just through the brilliant story.
At least we got Serpico aka Judeau 2.0
serpico fills the empty hole in my heart I call Jedeau
He not like him.
I don't like Serpico at all, I find him quite annoying actually. I think Scheircke has way more of a character ( even though she is mostly the loli of the group). The author of the video says that the abscence of the character is noticeable, I feel Serpicos's abscence is nowhere near Judeau's, besides for his link with Farnese, he could be removed quite easily and I would barely be able to tell that he is gone If It wasn't for Farnese clinging to him.
Basically he has the heart of Judeau but the brains of Griffith
I feel like rickert is going to grow in to Judeau
Judeau really was one of the most loveable characters of the golden age. Hes very endearing to the audience/readers as well as the other characters his bond with Casca and Guts makes his death hits soooo hard
Well, that was depressing....
Judeau really was a fantastic and subtle side character, one of those characters who feels complex and fascinating despite the narrative never actively developing him in the same way did it did the main trio during the Golden Age. I think that in itself is an amazing achievement, to be able to draw so much from this personality without the show ever overtly forcing it, there's some brilliant nuance to that sort of characterization that, in its own subdued way, is just as incredible as the iconic characterization of Guts and Griffith.
Rest in Peace, Judeau, you were a special character,
Just recently finished watching the 1997 Berserk anime and I'm so happy you made this video. Judeau is definitely now one of my favorite characters in anime. Fiction doesn't often make me cry but I bawled during his death scene. "There were so many things I that wanted to tell you, but I guess it wasn't in the cards. Just a few special words..." His English VA, Christopher Kromer, did an excellent job and delivered his last lines with heartbreaking emotion.
Thank you again for creating this video and shining light on this masterpiece of a character.
No problem, he definitely deserves it.
'Are these my last words?' 😭 If he only had more self esteem and courage! He died without achieving his dreams but he had so much potential, what a waste of life! He's a lesson for many of us. As you said in the video: life is too short. He could have open that business he was talking about, marry the woman he wanted, have kids and live a happy life but he never had the spirit of initiative and self love within himself in order to do so.
Damn dude, you're quickly becoming a favorite of mine. This is some really solid content you're putting out,
Thanks very much pal, I'm glad that it's to your taste!
What I loved about Judeau is that I can empathize with him soo much. I feel like I'm a lot like him and that makes his character very real for me. Even the way he doesn't act on his feelings for Casce. He's one of the realest characters in fiction.
Judeau deserved better and reading the latest chapter made me realise how much I miss him.
What makes this more sad is that in chapter 359 when casca was talking about the band of the hawk and the first person that came to mind was Judeau
Ishidoro's dagger remind her of Judeau's knives
Thank you for this upload. Judeau is my favorite character behind Schierke. What is appealing is his pragmatism and absolute lack of self-deception; although he has regrets, he knows what he is and what his skills can accomplish. This extends tragically to Caska as you said, he realizes the fact that she will never choose him. An amazing part of his (partly Caska's) and Griffith's character where this split affection does in no way diminish his leal nature towards the White Hawk.
Sorry for the typos, it is late. This video made the day!
Thanks for watching! I have nothing much more to add about why Judeau is a special character to me, you've pretty much nailed it. And beyond all that depth is a simply really likeable guy that sacrifices himself for his friends time and time again. RIP. (As a side note, I quite like Schierke as well)
I'm starting to realize that you like Berserk a bit.
It's alright.
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA MUSIC. You're the man.
Twilight Princess tho.
Meleron Nef you’re the man Steve
I ain't gonna lie I cried my eyes out after watching this video 😭😭😭😭😭
So sad. Makes justice to his tragic story.
I think the two most sad deaths are his and Rochine's.
Even though she was an apostle, I really felt sad at her final moments. And now it feels even more tragic when we compare Dannan with her.
He was a true bro, and the ultimate wing man. RIP judeao 😢
Judeau is awesome, It felt the worst when he died
One of my favourite characters. Yes,Judeau died with regret, lessons for us all to learn from..
Live life and never hold back in this what is called life & love.
Judeau, the jack of all trades and master of none. I just love that quote.
I cried when Judeau died, he really deserved so much more.
Rest in Peace, Kentaro Miura.
Judeau is one of my favorite Berserk characters, period. He was probably one of the only members of the Hawk who didn't worship the ground Griffith walked on, but he was also one of the most kind and caring people ever. Like, not only was he always comforting everyone else when they needed it, but he put his own wants and wishes aside to try and help others. He was literally in love with Casca, and STILL told Guts to leave with her because he knew Griffith was a narcissistic piece of crap. That's crazy. Anyways I love him and he makes me cry so hard.
ngl i cried watching this. i just wanna give my boy a hug
Bro, there's two things that happen every fucking time I watch the eclipse. I tear up and get an insanely morose feeling when Judeau dies, and I fucking shiver and get the chills for Guts' last scream. Fucking incredible piece of art.
Judeau was the best member of the band of the hawk. Witty, wise, badass, and he even managed to save casca during the eclipse TWICE. RIP for him, and big homie pippin.
judeau is my 2nd fav character in berserk and i love those final words he said to casca! saying to himself i got to confess my love but then says " u cry alot when ur alone dont u " while falling to his death in the anime @.@
He wouldn't quite be my second favourite but I think he's fantastic. A tragic and wonderful character. :'(
Really great perspective on the character. Luka and Judeau are both my favorite characters from the entirety of Berserk thus far, and I can really agree with your interpretation of why they are such effective support characters.
Thank you. And you're totally correct - both of the two you mentioned are vastly important for the story but hugely underrated.
moral of the story, no guts no glory.
more berserk content please
I'll try my dude, I'll try.
Aleczandxr I love how detailed your videos are
100th 👍
Yes, please make!
Judeau was always my favorite secondary character and the one I could relate to most.
He was my favourite as well, just all-around so likeable.
Press F to pay respects
Judeau was always my favorite character, too, although he always seemed so sad. In particular, when he talked about his dreams compared to Griffith's. I suppose that's one of the reasons that he didn't make it out, while Guts had his own dream to pursue.
Judau the Swiss army knife of the band.
underrated comment
Damn. A year went by and still 5 likes. Guess people dont know what SAK is
I'm glad you also see how complicated and layered all of the characters are in this story. Such a masterpiece.
For sure, a brilliant story filled with tremendous characters like Judeau.
These old classics... nothing like these nostalgic vibes
Judeau was one the of characters that really clicked for me. Glad to see some appreciation around
I first watched berserk back when I was 7 roaming the cartoon section of blockbuster. I have never been or since then been affected from a fictional characters death as I was when Judeau died. I’m 23 now and I still tear up when I read or watch the golden age arc. Berserk is amazing.
If Judeau was the one who lost his arm and survived instead of guts, we would get Edward Elric
Your dissection skills never disappoint. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for the constant support :)
You absolutely earned it. I appreciate the pace at which you upload new content too. Just when I don't expect it I see something new by you on the sidebar. I wonder what you think about the quantity-quality ratio, ie the more you upload the shorter and less edited each video needs to be (unless you do stuff like gameplay footage which requires minimal editing and can be uploaded by hour segments). I'm no content maker but I'm pretty sure that's something every RUclips creator has to think about.
Just Someone Well, I don't normally upload this regularly - I've just started a nice little break that'll last a couple of weeks, so I'm trying to take advantage of it. In terms of quality-quantity: to be honest, I don't spare it a thought. I just try to put as much quality as possible into my videos and upload them whenever I'm happy with them. Obviously an analysis on a secondary character like Judeau will take less time than some of my other ones, but it's all just a very natural process and upload frequency is all dependent on the amount of spare time I have. The next upload will be relatively small as well, but the one after probably longer.
Looking forward to them, then. Thanks for the answer, too.
This is beautiful
Very nice of you to say so.
I wish Guts talked more about Judeau!! He was Guts's true best friend or one who understood him the most, not Griffith.
Hey, men,I've just realized one thing. Judeau is one of the most badass guys in Berserk. In chaos of Eclipse, he was the only one SMILED
Nice analysis, I enjoyed your comparison between Judeau and Guts, but I always thought that Judeau was like a B level Griffith. I sense that if Judeau was given a boost in a few characteristics like drive, confidence, or willingness to act, than he could've potentially been a an equal to Griffith. To me, Griffith is a chair and Judeau is a stool, they're very very similar, however, something is missing from the stool that prevents it from being a chair, if that makes sense.
I definitely see where you're coming from, though there is the fundamental difference between the two (in my opinion) in that Judeau really cares for others.
True, I kind of see Judaeu as the preevolution of Griffith. If one is to be a military leader, they would need to detach themselves from emotions & intimate relationships. Judeau lacks that which is why I'd say he's a B-level Griffith. Possibly, if Griffith treated Judeau as a protégé type, teaching him to be more driven and warning him about developing intimate relationships, Judeau could have possibly surpassed or become an equal figure to Griffith. However, Judeau would probably turn down Griffith's teachings as soon as he saw the level of commitment he took and how he would have to remain alone mentally. If he did take Griffith's advice though, I could see him reaching the top and then reflecting on what he has done and going through a mental breakdown similar to the one Griffith had in the river when he was talking to the younger Casca, except much, much more severe, and he probably would've never recovered for it. What do you think would've happened if Judeua had received the behilit instead of Griffith?
op wfree It's a bit difficult to say. Judeau in general is a good person but obviously when a goal or a dream that one desperately wants is in sight, it's natural for a primitive selfishness to take over. The only real darkness I sense coming from Judeau stems from his regret that he's not living for himself. But as for the sacrifice, I'm still not completely sure that he'd sacrifice those close to him if his characterization was unchanged. Perhaps if, like you say, he became Griffith's protege than he would've been more inclined to do it. But even then, I doubt that Griffith would have ever considered having Judeau as a protege. What ifs are interesting to think about but it's hard to tell in this case with so much ambiguity.
op wfree I dont think so. Judeau has slight confidence issues but the difference between him and Griffith is where he places his most important values. Judeau is a very intelligent and great guy, charismatic and willing to act quickly and decisively. The difference is that Griffith thinks his dream is worth sacrificing EVERYTHING for, and his own morality is plagued by his unwavering selfishness, which disregards any and all other persons around him. Judeau is content with life enough to enjoy the moment, and he makes the most out of the simplicities of his livilihood, going with the tide and enjoying the ride. Not only that but Judeau makes it his bussiness to be there for his closest friends, its his duty and he takes it seriously as you can tell. I see him as someone different than Griffith. If he can be anything to Judeau, its that he could have had an attitude similar to Judeau about his own ambitions. Thats about the extent of it. Judeau is nothing like Griffith i think, overall.
Joseph Franc Judeau definitely lived his life that way, but ultimately, he died disappointed in himself. One of the last words he said were," I'm afraid I'm all talk." I think that he didn't just mean that in the moment but throughout his entire life. I think that Judeau and Griffith are surprisingly similar with only a few characteristics making them seem like polar opposites. The characteristics are how they value their own empathy, ambition, and drive. The characteristics are debatable, but I think they are definitely close. Judeau is like a compassionate Griffith, he can't detach himself enough to let people suffer the Griffith does.
i did not need to cry today but here i am,,
Alongside Corkus, I find Judeau to be the most personally relatable character in the series. Above everything else, I think Judeau represents one thing: the difference between talent and skill.
Judeau probably grew up having a fair amount of natural proclivities, but nothing so substantial that things came to him easily. As he describes himself as a jack-of-all-trades, I would guess that he tried to become a master at something, but either couldn't narrow down a focus or gave up when he saw people who were better than him with seemingly no effort.
Griffith, on the other hand, strikes me as someone who didn't have to work to be as good at anything. It's been a long time since I've read the manga, but I'm almost certain that there is never any mention of him receiving formal training. Thus, I assume that he grew up a mercenary like Guts, and slowly formed his own following over the years.
Guts stands in between the two as someone who is both innately gifted and shows a progression of learned ability. It's actually a subject of some speculation within the fan base as to whether Guts is secretly supernatural, but going off of the evidence we have, I think that he is simply someone who is born with good genetics that improve his bone and muscle density and high pain tolerance. When we first meet him, he's hardly what anyone would consider a tactical prodigy, even with his relative wealth of combat experience. As the series goes on and he grows up, he learns a lot from Griffith in terms of battle strategy and becomes a vastly more capable warrior.
This all compounds on Judeau, further ostracizing him as someone standing in the shadow of others, whether that be because of his own (perhaps unjustified) resignations or because he simply lacked that certain "something" that some people are born with. Either way, Judeau is one of my favorite characters in the series if only for how much of myself I see in him.
Griffith tried very hard. He would spend countless hours reading and would make any and all sacrifices to reach his goal.
I’m in the military and fell in love with someone who will never truly see me. I live out many of my days regretting that I joined I help others but can never help myself. I’m there for others when they’re in pain but no one will ever see the pain I’m going through. Even if I asked for help no one would willingly give any care. I relate a lot to Judeau I’m not the best at anything which leads me to feel like I’m not good enough for anyone or anything. I’m trying to work on my confidence issues and I’m trying to be more selfish but I always seem to end up giving my happiness my hopes and my dreams to others. Maybe someday when my contract is over I’ll find a purpose in life.
Quiet confidence is something not talked about enough or admired
I am genuinely angry that this channel only has 5k subs as the work and thought this man puts into his videos deserves far more recognition than "FINGERING GUYS ASSHOLES (SOCIAL EXPERIMENT) - GONE WRONG!!"
Haha, I appreciate it. Honestly though, to have over 5000 people that care about my opinion is very humbling and I really appreciate it. I'm also pretty bad at advertising. But some people I know who have started RUclips for one reason or another really struggled to get to something like 500 subs, so I'm quite happy with my growth.
You deserved more, i do aggree. god speed and best wishes.
A video on my favorite Band of the Hawk member!
Judeau was my favorite supporting character from the Golden Age arc
Juneau was always there for casca and the ultimate wing man
Griffith. Will. Pay. For. What. He. Has. Done.
Shit, never noticed corckus was the oposite to judeau.
The double Berserk and Zelda flashbacks ;)
This is a truly beautiful and hauntingly poetic dissection of this character and the important need for him to be a part of this tragic story. Thank you for doing such justice to the genius that is Berserk
Keep these analysis videos coming! These are really entertaining to me, haha!
Will do!
Judeau is my third Fav character after Guts and Casca . Corcus is 4th
YOU WHAT?!1
It's so nice to hear someone explaining the things that we, or at least I, have felt all the way, but did not have the analytic ability or passion to really dig into thos charecters. Thanks a lot Alec!!!
No problem, thanks for watching :)
Gave you my like even before watching the video, just because of faron woods music at the beginning :) Besides, awesome and deep character analysis. I have never thought about Judeau this way.
Thanks!
No one really does berserk lore. With Beserk 2017 coming, we need more videos like this.
Cheers man. I was surprised at the general lack of Berserk content as well.
I was literally rewatching the berserk analysis video when I saw this on my feed. so glad you made another berserk video, keep up the good work :)
Wow, I wasn't aware that people are still rewatching that. Thanks very much, I definitely will.
hahaha I also rewatched the monster analysis video prior as you do such a good job of explaining the series and its characters, you also helped me further understand the ending of the series.
DJ_ OBITO That's awesome to hear, that was basically what my goal was when I started making videos consistently :) Thanks a lot.
no problem and as I previously said, keep up the good work.
DJ_ OBITO Will do, pal.
Judeau was one of my favorite characters in the Golden Age Arc. He deserved so much better.
Judeau was definitely my favorite of the "lesser" main characters. I can't say I love Guts, Griffith, or Caska more. I loved them all, and they are all too complex to choose from. I think that Guts and Caska romance was one of the best ever written. The tragedy even surpassing that of Shakespearean tragedy. I hate what Griffith did but I can't hate him for how he shaped the story and how well written and complex he is. Judeau is that guy I would just love to kick it with and chill though. He had that real bro mentality that I love in real people. Every time an Episode played and Judeau wasn't in it I felt it immediately and missed him so much .And then I got all sad inside knowing his fate and how his existence would play out. THAT is why this series is so amazing though. This sense of people you grew to love dying in an instant. Well that and so many other things. This drama is more emotionally complex than a woman during her period. And THAT says a lot. :3
