@@slamminggutturals I believe he did see Guts as his equal, which is why he was so desperate to control him and so distraught when Guts left. He didn't want Guts to outshine him which is what Guts eventually did, leading to Griffiths break down and frantic attempt to gain some semblance of control back by coming onto Charlotte forcefully and then Raping Casca as revenge once he realized Guts had taken his place.
I firmly believe griffith didn’t like casca, he never thought about her in the dungeon, he thought about guts. Guts is the only person who made griffith forget his dream and make it feel dull, he literally thought that in the dungeon. I think him coming onto casca was a last ditch effort to get guts to stay since casca would stay if he got pity from her, cause the look on his face when guts said he is leaving again seemed betrayed, we know griffith is having a million feeling a minute concerning guts, again, he thought that in the dungeon, and everything about his actions after being freed shows that. he can’t live without guts, but he’s so mad at him for ruining his dream. When he hears guts is leaving again he tries to think about his dream to escape the reality that guts is going to leave, but when the carriage crashes reality hits that he can no longer achieve the dream, and he thinks about the best possible scenario his life could come to, casca babying him, he laughs and wants to kill himself from thinking about that fact. Also griffith being torn about guts is extremely apparent, when they rescue him, he goes to choke guts, but then he comfortingly puts a hand on guts. And in the eclipse he reaches out to save guts. Also when griffith says the whole “never again with you” thing that doesn’t make total sense, I think it means he can’t keep forgiving guts for abandoning him, he didn’t want guts to touch him and act kind to him and help him because griffith can’t handle his complex emotions for guts which is full of hatred and love. not even saying it’s gay love, but it’s clear everything for griffith revolves around guts. As I said before this isn’t some secret or theory, he literally said guts shined brighter than his dream, you know, the dream he has given his whole life for
You actually might be on to something because when femto was raping Casca he wasn’t even paying attention to her, only focusing on Guts the whole time making sure he watched
Griffith doesn’t see the difference between gods and demons, friends and enemies, or love and hate. It’s why he’ll try and save Guts, but then butcher his friends and f Casca in front of him. He’s obsessed with Guts because he’s the first person that can be his equal. Everyone else is either property or a stepping stone. Guts is the only one who can be a true companion, rival, lover, killer, etc; all the things a person can be to another person. That just my opinion anyway.
Your not wrong about his love for guts but dude literally had a fantasy about marrying casca and having a kid with her. I'm not saying he cared to the level he did guts but there was definitely something there.
One thing I really like is that the apostle fights are extremely tough even for Guts. He almost loses to the Count and loses to Zodd. It helps to ground the story and establish how strong the apostles are versus normal people.
You should be proud of this. I know it's just talking about a fictional story but there's not a lot of people who can take something their passionate about and actually make something with it a convey that passion so well and explain why you have that passion. And it's especially difficult to do that with a series like Berserk. Anyway it's easy to see that you've put in a lot of work and obviously a lot of time. Good job man, can't wait for the rest of it!
Never knew about Berserk until I played elden ring and learned of some of the areas and items inspired by this. I’m in deep now having watched all the adaptations and reading the manga as well as listening to this video which is amazing in itself. I really appreciate you taking the time and making this video. Helped me find details I had overlooked and overall just very enjoyable.
Unbelievable that Miura spent his entire adult life pretty much working on this one series. Sure, he did other stuff, but this was literally his life's work, and it pretty much came out fully formed when he was still in college. Is there anything else like this? An entire life dedicated to telling one story? And on top of all that, it's really really good! Who would have thought.
There's a Russian couple that makes hand-cut and hand-painted frame by frame animations. They have been working for something like 35 years on a 1 hour film or something crazy like that. There was a documentary about it I saw maybe 6 months back. I forget the name of our but look up something like "Russian couple handmade animation" and they should get you on the right trail
I’m 7 hours in so far but just wanted to say thank you so much for doing this. I’d only heard about berserk in passing but once I started watching I’ve not been able to stop! The story, art and commentary is all amazing.
I don’t get why people just spoil the shit out of this masterpiece. I waited to watch any videos until after I read up until a certain point, and as soon as a video gets into spoiler territory for an arc past the one I’m on, I just shut it off. Spoiling this masterwork of fiction is doing yourself a huge disservice, seriously
That exact face Teresa makes when she says “it’s because of you” is the exact same face Casa makes when she said the exact same thing to Guts after fighting Zodd for the first time. That had to hit Guts on multiple levels.
I think the part that he tells the girl to off herself was mostly to piss her off rather than actually encouraging her to do it. It kinda worked... but damn
It’s like well I definitely caused this horrible thing that just happened, but is it also possible I caused all of the horrible things to happen? Is it really all because of me?
goddd the musiccc, can we all give this man some love for sound selection, prod value and just a sprinkling of humour and tasteful observations, so fking good, causality bless thee. RIP Miura.
I've never even read Berserk, but I've found myself watching your videos for hours. The story is really amazing, and you do an amazing job at summarizing it!
@radiacia_3511 I'm kinda squeamish and don't think I can handle reading it myself but I'm intrigued. So while I cannot be a true fan, I enjoy the world and everything I've seen of it was interesting and cool.
Best video I’ve ever watched. I have ADHD and find it hard listening to anything.. my attention span is short and I stop listening before I realize. I was completely addicted to this video & have never felt so immersed during someone narrating a story. Thank you for the hard work, for so many of us your Berserk videos are a gold mine.
I have to disagree quite strongly, I love these videos but his misunderstanding of a lot of griffiths motives after being released from the cell kept nagging me. Mostly cause he kept ignoring info like how griffith literally thought to himself that his dream felt dull in comparison to guts in his mind, also the complex emotions he felt for guts from hate to love and anything in between. Also he really honed in on the fact that griffith tried to choke him, yet didn’t mention he put a comforting hand on guts afterward, showing how torn griffith is. In this video he kept trying to make it seem like griffith liked casca or he was simply trying to get revenge on guts, and hell maybe some of it was trying to get revenge on guts, but again it’s far from being that black and white, and I definitely don’t think griffith likes casca, none of his thoughts in the dungeon were about casca, it was all about guts, and I think that was intended to setup what happens outside the dungeon and everything that tore griffith in 15 different ways at once, like guts is leaving again, I can’t attain my dream, I don’t have control of casca anymore, me and guts had a moment so maybe he won’t leave, how can I get him to stay, maybe if I throw myself at casca something will develop, point is he was desperate
I saw the movies, read the full manga, and this is just what I needed to enjoy this story in everyway possible. For someone to tell me the story. Amazing work. for real
8 hours of my life are now devoted to watching a collection of videos I've already watched many times. Some of the best content on RUclips. You should be proud of the work you've done.
I can't even begin to express how long I have been searching for someone to go through the berserk manga in a detailed fashion like this. Thank you VERY VERY MUCH for the production value and the time and effort that was clearly put into this. Not only is the manga entertaining but you yourself are also. Thanks once again.
Here's the absolutely FASCINATING thing for me--Having marathoned this in a play-list multiple times while I do stuff around the house, I find it utterly brilliant how you can tie MULTIPLE long-form videos like this one after the other, OR string them together, and it doesn't feel a WHIT disjointed. It feels more like you split one long-form into multiple pieces, at least in regards to the jokes, the pacing, the call-backs... Amazing. Stuff. Mate.
I absolutely adore your style of read-along man. Legit, be it travelling, eating, or poopin’ - I can watch your videos, carry on and come back right where we left off with no problem. You’re an AMAZING narrator. I have not watched anything this long on youtube, ever. Thank you
The 90s anime was my first exposure to Berzerk. And my brother laughed at me on the second to last episode when I was telling him how it's been going. (He'd already read it) Lol. I walked by him after it concluded. Saying "Stfu"
When guts is hurt and locked in a cage and Loli said "things will go from bad to retarded", I absolutely died. funniest shit ive heard all week. Side note, REEEEAAALLY enjoy the read along style. I have it on in the background and enjoy your talking, voice, and funny inserts. Great stuff sir.
Berserk helps me get back up, no matter how badly I want to stay down. Guts and his story hit me at a time I needed a story of someone who will never give into hopelessness and will always bring the fight right back to despair. I needed that then and I still need it now. Thank you, Kentaro Miura and thank you Loli for this series. Your videos are the definitive retrospective on Berserk.
There's honestly no better way to show a form of hope than a broken man like Guts who fucking _struggles_ against the darkness with everything he has left leading to him indirectly finding a family along the way. Also, nothing emphasizes Guts' "struggle" against the darkness, both mental/emotional in the form of the Beast of Darkness _and_ the literal demons he kills, quite like the nickname Skull Knight gave him: "Struggler."
The lost children arc means a lot to me for some reason. Seeing Rosinne make this huge mistake and becoming a monster seems so straightforward but this story goes in depth into why she did it. It’s so tragic that the behelits doesn’t discriminate with age, children are tempted to sacrifice people to become demons. Rosinne regretted everything she did in the end. She thought about her family in her dying moments and it never fails to make me cry.
Always felt like Rosine was the most justified in her acts, in her shoes i would have sacrificed both of my parents for sure, even as an adult, these soulless monsters did nothing but destroy her humanity. If I was living in that world i'd rather be an apostle than a human, wouldn't you ?
@@khorneflakes2175 It would certainly make things easier. And we've seen with the new Band of the Hawk, it's possible for an Apostle to have humanity But to sacrifice what you love most - or most likely who...
@@khorneflakes2175no, definitely not. The people in my life, one person in particular, are worth more to me than any temporal power. True love transcends materialism, I’d id rather die or be r@ped by a demon and tortured than sacrifice them.
For some reason the scene where Guts hang the child on the tip of his sword made me laugh so much. 😭😂😭 I literally screenshot the panel, maybe I'm coping with what's about to happen.
Old timer bersek fan here, i have always said to non manga readers when they ask me "is berserk good?" "Is the only manga you will ever need to read". Now i guess i could point em to this video. Great work my man.
Some things to add: I never noticed that RIckert had his own personal eclipse. We always think that Rickert missed the eclipse, which he did, but he was the only one there for the pre festival feast. And like Guts, he was the ONLY survivor. And like Guts, Skull Knight saved his life. And like Guts, he sees a homie get ripped in half by the Slug Lord, marking the moment where Rickert/Guts gave into despair. Rickert and Guts might have had alot in common if Miura had written for 5 more years On the first read, Guts and Casca's behavior pre-griffith rescue is so cute and adorable and makes me really root for them. On a second read it is almost unbearably tragic. Seeing the innocence and hopefulness in both of them only to know what looms over the horizon Wyald (Wylad, I mustve had the same scan lol) is amazing. The leg of the story from Griffith's rescue to the Eclipse is incredible and Wyald is a huge part of it. His brutality makes for an excellent villain. Storywise he represents a true "no going back" moment. The world of insane demon creatures is starting to spill over into the world of our heroes. Guts actually kills Wyald too, instead of getting trounced like with Zodd. It just goes to show how fucking hard it is to kill an apostle, and we already know that there are way more (from the Rickert mini eclipse). Wyald really was like one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apacolypse. Bringing a dread shadow of despair and evil with him. 6:57:12 Is that confirmed to be the same lady? I always wondered. The chick has the same hood and the baby's hair looks about the same. I can accept that its the same one, but i always assumed the lady just died in torture
I know I’m not the best member of the server, but thank you for introducing me to this wonderful universe of great feats of courage and honor, terrible deeds of deception and evil, and character development unlike any other. I don’t really like fantasy, but this is absolutely an exception
Just my two cents: Griffith was never shown without the helmet after he was tortured - Guts told everyone to stay away. But the hawkboy *used* to have a pretty sweet set of hair on his head. Just saying.
Thanks for doing this, man!! As a person with a disability it's really hard for me to physically flip pages while reading these days so rereading the whole story from start to finish was too difficult on paper. But this series allowed me to relive it again!
It's a shame that I've already listened to all the parts, otherwise I'd be able to truly appreciate this one. Good job on the videos, man! Having you go in depth is very fun, especially since I never intended to touch Berserk with a 10 foot pole. Now, with you having described these arcs I might try them out to get an even better idea of what happend!
I fall asleep to this video constantly. Thanks for your true dedication to the series. Everything from the scene to scene narration to pre and post scene analysis is extremely well done and I love how you add your own commentary about it.
Dude, ever since you uploaded this video, I put it on with just the audio when I go to bed. I always get to at least the 10 minute mark and I fall asleep, not coz what you’re saying is boring but rather the complete opposite: it’s riveting and it’s like how I would imagine a convo with a friend would go that has the same love for berserk as I do. Im one of those people that needs a good story to fall asleep, and by falling asleep every time at max the 30th minute mark, it’s like the story of Berserk is never ending for me. You’re doing the lords work, my friend. Im not even religious and I just said that. Your channel deserves more traffic and I just know that with time, you will get there. You’ve got that casual and chill voice that I could listen to for (literally) hours, not to be creepy or anything lol plus the humor is on-point! Peace and love to you from Germany by way of Mexico, brotha. Subbed!
I watched this whole video and I’m more than happy I did. I don’t enjoy reading manga, I don’t know why. But I’m so glad you helped me and thousands of others enjoy this story.
Almost 9 Hours? LET'S GO!!!!!!! This is what I needed and wanted! Rest Easy Kentaro Miura and Thank You for Everything with Berserk! Thank you Almighty!!!! This is deliverance! I look forward to the next parts whenever you are ready and able and take your time with it!
Just wanted to let you know I love what you’re doing with Berserk. The formula your using is definitely working & I think you’re doing a great job. Best I’ve seen! Also taking very dark violent content & adding your own humor to help it go along easier goes along way. So know that we absolutely love & appreciate what you’re doing. Thank you for all your hard work! And yes girls LOVE Berserk too. Guts’ devotion to Casca is unwavering. Yes he’s got issues, but who doesn’t? Lol
Biggest difference between Guts and all the other big sword guys - we actually see Guts grow and train with his weapon, by the time we see him with his slab of a sword, we full well know and believe that the man can wield it. In fact he is the only one who can, since he trained with the weapon in all its different iterations, since childhood.
Yeah I thought it was super interesting that the big sword stuff was explained in a really natural way. He's been swordfighting since 6 and Gambino's band never had small child swords so he always had to succeed with swords that were too big for him. I feel like that experience is what Guts draws on when he tells Isidro to build a fighting style based on what he's good at instead of trying to copy Guts' style.
Thank you for making this, I was never going to read the Berserk Manga, but have always had a great interest in the material. The way you covered and explained the story in a nuanced and comprehensive way really brought me up to speed and made me understand why so many people have such a deep appriciation for Berserk. Excellent job, liked and subscribed.
8 hours dam bro, Im in a deep depression atm, watching your vids lately rlly help me, even if your „just“ retelling this story. The amount of work you put in there that’s dedication. I nearly watched all Parts 10 times. Thank you for real.
@Moll pom What gives you the authority to say that? These videos is like listening to someone reading a story. Maybe that gives them some time to have their minds off of other things.
Watching this all in 1 sitting. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! But for real, Almighty this was such a great analysis and commentary to Berserk and being able to learn everything about the manga was a priceless experience. Thanks for the amazing vid!
In three videos you made something with more artistic and analytical merit then channels with hundreds or thousands of videos. And its not just the berserk stuff, your generation kill video and many others have given me a really interesting insight in to things that I have or haven't seen or read myself. Keep it up man.
I always saw the line "If you're prayin' your hands are closed" as a locus of control kind of thing, while praying you give your control away, you not only close yourself litteraly ( her hands ), but you also stop trying to do anything and instead expect an external power to do it for you, which could be then associated with the worst of her behavior/life when she thinks back about it
Every few months or so I'll rewatch this series. Well, mostly listen now while I game or am at work. I love Berserk so much, and am so glad you took the time and effort to flesh it out. Now I can enjoy the story of Berserk while I'm busy doing other shit. I'm so relieved we'll actually get closure for this series too. I'm genuinely grateful for Mori and Studio GG and also the love from the community to keep it going. Miura is truly a God among men. RIP you crazy genius.
I go to school all day, and work into the night till around 1am. When I tell you all I look forward to in my day is your berserk series I mean it! Thanks a bunch for this I can’t wait for future series!!!
Dude i respect you alot. The fact that you make such longform content based on something we love, even though you could spread it out so you could get more views or whatever. Respect.
Thank you for making these videos. We can tell that SO much work was put into them. Something in particular that I haven't seen anyone else comment on yet was your musical selection. I couldn't help but notice that many of your choices were from sources that were inspired by, or at least had many thematic and/or stylistic similarities to Berserk. Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Witcher, Vikings, Nier:Automata, Sicario, and even some of Susumu Hirasawa's non-Berserk stuff. And you successfully managed to match them up to appropriate scenes and moments. As someone who does similar stuff for my my weekly TTRPG campaigns, I know how difficult it can be to get just the right track for just the right scene, so kudos to you. Thanks, and great job!
My man, I'm so glad I found your channel last year. You put out such consistently high quality content. Your ability to review and discuss manga/anime is on point. I hope you get to enjoy the level of success your content on here deserves
I've wanted to read the berserk series for a long time but I don't have the time to sift through such lofty tomes, thank you so much for providing this audio synopsis. It's much easier to hide I'm listening to a video than it is to read Manga at work lol.
I can not thank you enough for making this video, I’m only half way through and have learned and heard a lot of things I never knew. Never had the manga. First saw the 2012 Netflix 3 part movies and was hooked. That was 2 years ago. This is the best thing out there next to the manga hands down. 97 anime is good too. But THIS is amazing
The detail and care in this review deserves acknowledgement. Crazy in depth review, this is your purple rain Loli , good job man!!!!!!!!!! Got me into it after the first 10 mins, went away, watched it, read the black swordsman arc and came back.
Wow…that was the longest Analysis/reading video ever! I loved every second of it.👍 When I first read 3 arcs of Berserk there were scenes I didn’t understand because of my autism but thanks to you explaining it in such a good way I can fully understand it now and I can truly appreciate the absolute work and dedication the writer has put into this masterpiece of a manga. As for you mate, you put so much effort into this VERY LONG video you made and I really enjoyed it.😎👍 Can’t wait for part 4. Keep up the good work mate.
Your choice of music is excellent, especially when you used Black Grease by The Black Angels during Griffith’s rescue. The lyrics and vibe go so well with what is happening. **chef’s kiss**
The long version. If you’re stuck at home and it’s raining outside; take your mind off the solitude. Sit down and enjoy a tale. 🎩 🐍 no step on Snek! 🇺🇸🇭🇰
@@Snakedude4life im hoping for the best too but i have a lingering feeling of doubt i cant shake and im praying to whatever transcendental being that is lurking around that im wrong and that my doubt is unjust.
@@ddxinthehouse What we are doing to learn if whether or not miura was a good teacher or not. Because of his story telling ability, I would bet on the answer being yes
I have a lot of respect for this video and the way you tackle the material. You're objective, you stray away from controversy, you cover as much as you can, you don't give any excuses, and you provide plenty of references, source material, and information for the audience to follow along and to their own digging.
Amazing breakdown! After finishing on the manga to ch. 367, I kinda wanted to revisit the story from the beginning. It's been so long just keeping up with the chapters through the years. This is awesome 👌 keep up the amazing work 🤩
Man.... what a fantastic refresher this is, and a amazing easily accessible way to get people into beserk if people who wouldn't have given it a chance otherwise listen to this and in turn go and buy copies then it's a win in my opinion
I just realized how long this is, and you aren't even done. Griffith on a Stick, Berserk getting an anime adaptation would fuel us for a decade in regards to a show to watch.
Well, you seem to have pretty good taste so far. You WERE the guy who convinced me to try out Spec Ops: the Line... Hrm, I guess I'm gonna have to give Berserk a read at some point.
I think seeing griffiths jealousy as being jealous towards guts for having casca is way off, it’s much more likely the opposite that he’s jealous of casca for having guts, because you know during his time in the dungeon he was thinking all these complex feeling towards guts, hatred, love, and everything in between too complicated to put in to words, and that he realized his dream of having a kingdom paled in comparison to guts, I feel like you just ignored all that, which is fine enough cause you gotta conserve time, but a lot of what you went on to say about griffith and casca contradicts what we know about Griffith and what he values, cough guts cough
@@GigaChadh976 that’s what’s so great about the whole fucked up chain of events ever since guts left the band of the hawk, it’s so complicated with so many working parts that a majority of the theories are probably all true on some level, but mostly just when they pertain to guts. I don’t doubt griffith didn’t want to lose control over casca on some level, but that is such a petty and small thing that I doubt that was part of griffiths big picture (not that he even knows his big picture at that point anymore). cause as I stated before, we literally see in griffiths mind in the dungeon that for one reason or another, it is all about guts. Whether it be for hatred or love or 500 different indescribable emotions in between. oh wait, we DO know he is feeling all of those emotions at once cause he states it as such when thinking about guts, which explains his extremely erratic and contradictory behavior when it comes to guts. he goes to choke guts, then he puts a comforting hand on him. he’ll give guts a spiteful look, then he’ll give him a look of compassion. He’ll say never again with you, then before he sacrifices his friends he’ll try to catch his best friend out of instinct. This stuff isn’t simple, but again mostly when it comes to guts. I just realized when writing this that him coming on to casca was probably a last ditch effort to get casca and guts to stay to take care of him, but when he hears guts is STILL gonna leave again, that pushes him over the edge, I mean you can even see it by the look in his eye. So then his mind puts everything into his dream and he loses it, takes the carriage, crashes it, sees a vision that if his plan to get even just casca to stay was successful it would be a pathetic existence anyway of being babied by her, then laughs at how pathetic his life has become and tries to kill himself. Sorry for the gargantuan comment, I’m a ranter
Pure gold. I will be 37 years old this year. I can’t believe i have been alive this long and I’m just now finding out about this. Really enjoyed the this. Subscribed and liked. Thought it would take me a week to get thru it but it only took two days. 10 out of 10. Hand salute my guy.
I told my friend to read Berserk after getting back into it through these videos and he said and I quote “I want to but I’m fighting demons right now with my messed up sleep schedule.”
Took me a few days to get through it all, but my god man. Fuckin fantastic. Music and commentary on point. Also has a wrestling fan hearing weak enemies referred to as jobbers was a nice touch.
To put things in perspective:
Part 4 is probably gonna be like 5 or 6 hours long. It's the longest arc of the series.
My god yes. Listen to you @ work. Perfect
Sounds about right.
Fuck yeah!!
good
Millennium Falcon deserves it, I'm happy that you will talk a lot about it since it is my favorite arc
Griffith: I only respect those who pursue their own dreams…
Guts: Pursues his dream…

I firmly believe griffith didn’t like casca, he never thought about her in the dungeon, he thought about guts. Guts is the only person who made griffith forget his dream and make it feel dull, he literally thought that in the dungeon. I think him coming onto casca was a last ditch effort to get guts to stay since casca would stay if he got pity from her, cause the look on his face when guts said he is leaving again seemed betrayed, we know griffith is having a million feeling a minute concerning guts, again, he thought that in the dungeon, and everything about his actions after being freed shows that. he can’t live without guts, but he’s so mad at him for ruining his dream. When he hears guts is leaving again he tries to think about his dream to escape the reality that guts is going to leave, but when the carriage crashes reality hits that he can no longer achieve the dream, and he thinks about the best possible scenario his life could come to, casca babying him, he laughs and wants to kill himself from thinking about that fact. Also griffith being torn about guts is extremely apparent, when they rescue him, he goes to choke guts, but then he comfortingly puts a hand on guts. And in the eclipse he reaches out to save guts. Also when griffith says the whole “never again with you” thing that doesn’t make total sense, I think it means he can’t keep forgiving guts for abandoning him, he didn’t want guts to touch him and act kind to him and help him because griffith can’t handle his complex emotions for guts which is full of hatred and love. not even saying it’s gay love, but it’s clear everything for griffith revolves around guts. As I said before this isn’t some secret or theory, he literally said guts shined brighter than his dream, you know, the dream he has given his whole life for
*slow clap*
You actually might be on to something because when femto was raping Casca he wasn’t even paying attention to her, only focusing on Guts the whole time making sure he watched
@@monsterzero9456 *slow claps too*
Griffith doesn’t see the difference between gods and demons, friends and enemies, or love and hate. It’s why he’ll try and save Guts, but then butcher his friends and f Casca in front of him. He’s obsessed with Guts because he’s the first person that can be his equal. Everyone else is either property or a stepping stone. Guts is the only one who can be a true companion, rival, lover, killer, etc; all the things a person can be to another person.
That just my opinion anyway.
Your not wrong about his love for guts but dude literally had a fantasy about marrying casca and having a kid with her. I'm not saying he cared to the level he did guts but there was definitely something there.
when you finish part 4 and 5 this will surpass the Lord of the Rings trilogy extended edition.
Good job long man.
Berserk is the LOTR of anime.
Longman bad.
@@Krax0n- long man good!

One thing I really like is that the apostle fights are extremely tough even for Guts. He almost loses to the Count and loses to Zodd. It helps to ground the story and establish how strong the apostles are versus normal people.
You should be proud of this. I know it's just talking about a fictional story but there's not a lot of people who can take something their passionate about and actually make something with it a convey that passion so well and explain why you have that passion. And it's especially difficult to do that with a series like Berserk. Anyway it's easy to see that you've put in a lot of work and obviously a lot of time. Good job man, can't wait for the rest of it!
A lot of people can do that lol
You guys just don’t pay attention

Never knew about Berserk until I played elden ring and learned of some of the areas and items inspired by this. I’m in deep now having watched all the adaptations and reading the manga as well as listening to this video which is amazing in itself. I really appreciate you taking the time and making this video. Helped me find details I had overlooked and overall just very enjoyable.
Eight hours of entertainment and all it costs is hitting the like button :3. Thanks dude!
You're so right
Unbelievable that Miura spent his entire adult life pretty much working on this one series. Sure, he did other stuff, but this was literally his life's work, and it pretty much came out fully formed when he was still in college. Is there anything else like this? An entire life dedicated to telling one story?
And on top of all that, it's really really good! Who would have thought.
One Piece?
There's a Russian couple that makes hand-cut and hand-painted frame by frame animations. They have been working for something like 35 years on a 1 hour film or something crazy like that. There was a documentary about it I saw maybe 6 months back. I forget the name of our but look up something like "Russian couple handmade animation" and they should get you on the right trail
Excuse you. Its Mlura
@@KarmahhYT one piss?
Professor Tolkien spent his adult life after WW1 working on the world of Middle Earth. So very similar as a lot was left unfinished when he died.
It takes dedication to make a 8 hour long video
It may not mean much coming form some guy in the internet but I’m proud of you
People like him have extreme determination
@@Human_traain What bout us bro, we who watch?
@@Death7035-x2d yeah without us he's useless, but he works harder than we get after seeing our crush in school
I’m 7 hours in so far but just wanted to say thank you so much for doing this. I’d only heard about berserk in passing but once I started watching I’ve not been able to stop! The story, art and commentary is all amazing.
I don’t get why people just spoil the shit out of this masterpiece. I waited to watch any videos until after I read up until a certain point, and as soon as a video gets into spoiler territory for an arc past the one I’m on, I just shut it off. Spoiling this masterwork of fiction is doing yourself a huge disservice, seriously
That exact face Teresa makes when she says “it’s because of you” is the exact same face Casa makes when she said the exact same thing to Guts after fighting Zodd for the first time. That had to hit Guts on multiple levels.
Who is Teresa?
@@mohammedzuhaib933 I think it’s the child in the prologue that Guts kills the demon-father of and then tries to convince to commit suicide
I think the part that he tells the girl to off herself was mostly to piss her off rather than actually encouraging her to do it. It kinda worked... but damn
that made me tear up ngl
It’s like well I definitely caused this horrible thing that just happened, but is it also possible I caused all of the horrible things to happen? Is it really all because of me?
goddd the musiccc, can we all give this man some love for sound selection, prod value and just a sprinkling of humour and tasteful observations, so fking good, causality bless thee. RIP Miura.
I've never even read Berserk, but I've found myself watching your videos for hours. The story is really amazing, and you do an amazing job at summarizing it!
Same here. Probably one of the few Japanese things I'm actually going to buy and enjoy. It's both brilliant and batshit. Exactly up my alley.
what's the point of watching vids like these if you havent read the source material and made your own mind up
@@radiacia_3511 Cuz i enjoyed it lol
This guy loves the material @@radiacia_3511
@radiacia_3511 I'm kinda squeamish and don't think I can handle reading it myself but I'm intrigued. So while I cannot be a true fan, I enjoy the world and everything I've seen of it was interesting and cool.
Best video I’ve ever watched. I have ADHD and find it hard listening to anything.. my attention span is short and I stop listening before I realize. I was completely addicted to this video & have never felt so immersed during someone narrating a story. Thank you for the hard work, for so many of us your Berserk videos are a gold mine.
Honestly, 10/10. This is the definitive Berserk breakdown. Period.
This is obvious copyright infringement and will not be available for much longer
I have to disagree quite strongly, I love these videos but his misunderstanding of a lot of griffiths motives after being released from the cell kept nagging me. Mostly cause he kept ignoring info like how griffith literally thought to himself that his dream felt dull in comparison to guts in his mind, also the complex emotions he felt for guts from hate to love and anything in between. Also he really honed in on the fact that griffith tried to choke him, yet didn’t mention he put a comforting hand on guts afterward, showing how torn griffith is. In this video he kept trying to make it seem like griffith liked casca or he was simply trying to get revenge on guts, and hell maybe some of it was trying to get revenge on guts, but again it’s far from being that black and white, and I definitely don’t think griffith likes casca, none of his thoughts in the dungeon were about casca, it was all about guts, and I think that was intended to setup what happens outside the dungeon and everything that tore griffith in 15 different ways at once, like guts is leaving again, I can’t attain my dream, I don’t have control of casca anymore, me and guts had a moment so maybe he won’t leave, how can I get him to stay, maybe if I throw myself at casca something will develop, point is he was desperate
@@WetBoy mind ya business
69th like. All other likes are sacrilege
6/10. Every time he misspronounces Apostle or something else I wish I could put physical hands on him.
I saw the movies, read the full manga, and this is just what I needed to enjoy this story in everyway possible. For someone to tell me the story. Amazing work. for real
8 hours of my life are now devoted to watching a collection of videos I've already watched many times. Some of the best content on RUclips. You should be proud of the work you've done.
I can't even begin to express how long I have been searching for someone to go through the berserk manga in a detailed fashion like this. Thank you VERY VERY MUCH for the production value and the time and effort that was clearly put into this. Not only is the manga entertaining but you yourself are also. Thanks once again.
Loli I will forever thank you and regret you for introducing me to one of my favorite stories ever knowing full well I may never find one like it
I love this dudes timeline and story telling voice, can’t wait for more to come out!
Here's the absolutely FASCINATING thing for me--Having marathoned this in a play-list multiple times while I do stuff around the house, I find it utterly brilliant how you can tie MULTIPLE long-form videos like this one after the other, OR string them together, and it doesn't feel a WHIT disjointed. It feels more like you split one long-form into multiple pieces, at least in regards to the jokes, the pacing, the call-backs...
Amazing.
Stuff.
Mate.
I absolutely adore your style of read-along man. Legit, be it travelling, eating, or poopin’ - I can watch your videos, carry on and come back right where we left off with no problem.
You’re an AMAZING narrator. I have not watched anything this long on youtube, ever. Thank you
fun fact: this is about the same length as the entire 90s anime
props
Damn that’s awesome
The 90s anime was my first exposure to Berzerk. And my brother laughed at me on the second to last episode when I was telling him how it's been going. (He'd already read it) Lol. I walked by him after it concluded. Saying "Stfu"
When guts is hurt and locked in a cage and Loli said "things will go from bad to retarded", I absolutely died. funniest shit ive heard all week. Side note, REEEEAAALLY enjoy the read along style. I have it on in the background and enjoy your talking, voice, and funny inserts. Great stuff sir.
Berserk helps me get back up, no matter how badly I want to stay down. Guts and his story hit me at a time I needed a story of someone who will never give into hopelessness and will always bring the fight right back to despair. I needed that then and I still need it now.
Thank you, Kentaro Miura and thank you Loli for this series. Your videos are the definitive retrospective on Berserk.
Me to buddy
There's honestly no better way to show a form of hope than a broken man like Guts who fucking _struggles_ against the darkness with everything he has left leading to him indirectly finding a family along the way. Also, nothing emphasizes Guts' "struggle" against the darkness, both mental/emotional in the form of the Beast of Darkness _and_ the literal demons he kills, quite like the nickname Skull Knight gave him: "Struggler."
Everyone struggles and we all use media to help us cope, youre not special
@@beepbeeplettuce5890 you think you are so unique by pointing that out huh
The lost children arc means a lot to me for some reason. Seeing Rosinne make this huge mistake and becoming a monster seems so straightforward but this story goes in depth into why she did it. It’s so tragic that the behelits doesn’t discriminate with age, children are tempted to sacrifice people to become demons. Rosinne regretted everything she did in the end. She thought about her family in her dying moments and it never fails to make me cry.
Always felt like Rosine was the most justified in her acts, in her shoes i would have sacrificed both of my parents for sure, even as an adult, these soulless monsters did nothing but destroy her humanity.
If I was living in that world i'd rather be an apostle than a human, wouldn't you ?
@@khorneflakes2175 It would certainly make things easier. And we've seen with the new Band of the Hawk, it's possible for an Apostle to have humanity
But to sacrifice what you love most - or most likely who...
@@khorneflakes2175no, definitely not. The people in my life, one person in particular, are worth more to me than any temporal power. True love transcends materialism, I’d id rather die or be r@ped by a demon and tortured than sacrifice them.
For some reason the scene where Guts hang the child on the tip of his sword made me laugh so much. 😭😂😭 I literally screenshot the panel, maybe I'm coping with what's about to happen.
Old timer bersek fan here, i have always said to non manga readers when they ask me "is berserk good?" "Is the only manga you will ever need to read". Now i guess i could point em to this video. Great work my man.
Some things to add:
I never noticed that RIckert had his own personal eclipse. We always think that Rickert missed the eclipse, which he did, but he was the only one there for the pre festival feast. And like Guts, he was the ONLY survivor. And like Guts, Skull Knight saved his life. And like Guts, he sees a homie get ripped in half by the Slug Lord, marking the moment where Rickert/Guts gave into despair. Rickert and Guts might have had alot in common if Miura had written for 5 more years
On the first read, Guts and Casca's behavior pre-griffith rescue is so cute and adorable and makes me really root for them. On a second read it is almost unbearably tragic. Seeing the innocence and hopefulness in both of them only to know what looms over the horizon
Wyald (Wylad, I mustve had the same scan lol) is amazing. The leg of the story from Griffith's rescue to the Eclipse is incredible and Wyald is a huge part of it. His brutality makes for an excellent villain. Storywise he represents a true "no going back" moment. The world of insane demon creatures is starting to spill over into the world of our heroes. Guts actually kills Wyald too, instead of getting trounced like with Zodd. It just goes to show how fucking hard it is to kill an apostle, and we already know that there are way more (from the Rickert mini eclipse). Wyald really was like one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apacolypse. Bringing a dread shadow of despair and evil with him.
6:57:12 Is that confirmed to be the same lady? I always wondered. The chick has the same hood and the baby's hair looks about the same. I can accept that its the same one, but i always assumed the lady just died in torture
I can’t wait to see the length of this video when we get caught up to the final chapter.
I bet fourteen hours in total
Never realized how well the fields of Ard Skellige theme fits into Berserk.
What a great series you made!
I know I’m not the best member of the server, but thank you for introducing me to this wonderful universe of great feats of courage and honor, terrible deeds of deception and evil, and character development unlike any other. I don’t really like fantasy, but this is absolutely an exception
Hows your cat
@@yikes6969 😳
@@yikes6969 He has a cat? That's sweet, what is his name?
Just my two cents: Griffith was never shown without the helmet after he was tortured - Guts told everyone to stay away. But the hawkboy *used* to have a pretty sweet set of hair on his head. Just saying.
I think artwork revealed shows that his face was badly burned, and his hair was just cut a bit shorter.
man, i'm reading through conviction rn with black swordsman on the screen, this shit went from good to jaw dropping in terms of art.
The art is just 😩
Thanks for doing this, man!! As a person with a disability it's really hard for me to physically flip pages while reading these days so rereading the whole story from start to finish was too difficult on paper. But this series allowed me to relive it again!
It's a shame that I've already listened to all the parts, otherwise I'd be able to truly appreciate this one.
Good job on the videos, man! Having you go in depth is very fun, especially since I never intended to touch Berserk with a 10 foot pole. Now, with you having described these arcs I might try them out to get an even better idea of what happend!
I fall asleep to this video constantly.
Thanks for your true dedication to the series. Everything from the scene to scene narration to pre and post scene analysis is extremely well done and I love how you add your own commentary about it.
Dude, ever since you uploaded this video, I put it on with just the audio when I go to bed. I always get to at least the 10 minute mark and I fall asleep, not coz what you’re saying is boring but rather the complete opposite: it’s riveting and it’s like how I would imagine a convo with a friend would go that has the same love for berserk as I do. Im one of those people that needs a good story to fall asleep, and by falling asleep every time at max the 30th minute mark, it’s like the story of Berserk is never ending for me. You’re doing the lords work, my friend. Im not even religious and I just said that. Your channel deserves more traffic and I just know that with time, you will get there. You’ve got that casual and chill voice that I could listen to for (literally) hours, not to be creepy or anything lol plus the humor is on-point! Peace and love to you from Germany by way of Mexico, brotha. Subbed!
Your music selection for each stretch of chapters really sets the ambience in a beautiful way.
I usually don't comment on videos, but I want this video to trend because the quality and amount of work spent on it is exceptional.
Wow thanks for this. My entire work day melted away listening to this. You da man
As someone who's never had an interest in manga or anime in general, I am very appreciative for these videos
I watched this whole video and I’m more than happy I did. I don’t enjoy reading manga, I don’t know why. But I’m so glad you helped me and thousands of others enjoy this story.
Almost 9 Hours? LET'S GO!!!!!!! This is what I needed and wanted!
Rest Easy Kentaro Miura and Thank You for Everything with Berserk!
Thank you Almighty!!!! This is deliverance! I look forward to the next parts whenever you are ready and able and take your time with it!
Just wanted to let you know I love what you’re doing with Berserk. The formula your using is definitely working & I think you’re doing a great job. Best I’ve seen! Also taking very dark violent content & adding your own humor to help it go along easier goes along way. So know that we absolutely love & appreciate what you’re doing. Thank you for all your hard work! And yes girls LOVE Berserk too. Guts’ devotion to Casca is unwavering. Yes he’s got issues, but who doesn’t? Lol
Biggest difference between Guts and all the other big sword guys - we actually see Guts grow and train with his weapon, by the time we see him with his slab of a sword, we full well know and believe that the man can wield it. In fact he is the only one who can, since he trained with the weapon in all its different iterations, since childhood.
Yeah I thought it was super interesting that the big sword stuff was explained in a really natural way. He's been swordfighting since 6 and Gambino's band never had small child swords so he always had to succeed with swords that were too big for him. I feel like that experience is what Guts draws on when he tells Isidro to build a fighting style based on what he's good at instead of trying to copy Guts' style.
Hmm
But he had a huge plot armour
He should have died in many fights as he was just a normal human being
Thank you for making this, I was never going to read the Berserk Manga, but have always had a great interest in the material. The way you covered and explained the story in a nuanced and comprehensive way really brought me up to speed and made me understand why so many people have such a deep appriciation for Berserk. Excellent job, liked and subscribed.
8 hours dam bro, Im in a deep depression atm, watching your vids lately rlly help me, even if your „just“ retelling this story. The amount of work you put in there that’s dedication. I nearly watched all Parts 10 times. Thank you for real.
@Moll pom guess you’re right
@Moll pom
What gives you the authority to say that? These videos is like listening to someone reading a story. Maybe that gives them some time to have their minds off of other things.
@@spencerfoote6977lol wtf was that dude saying? It’s gone for me but you told him off😂
Watching this all in 1 sitting. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
But for real, Almighty this was such a great analysis and commentary to Berserk and being able to learn everything about the manga was a priceless experience. Thanks for the amazing vid!
In three videos you made something with more artistic and analytical merit then channels with hundreds or thousands of videos. And its not just the berserk stuff, your generation kill video and many others have given me a really interesting insight in to things that I have or haven't seen or read myself. Keep it up man.
I always saw the line "If you're prayin' your hands are closed" as a locus of control kind of thing, while praying you give your control away, you not only close yourself litteraly ( her hands ), but you also stop trying to do anything and instead expect an external power to do it for you, which could be then associated with the worst of her behavior/life when she thinks back about it
This entire thing really is your magnum opus dude. Only video of yours that i like as much is your recent cowboy bebop one. Very epic. Very based.
Every few months or so I'll rewatch this series. Well, mostly listen now while I game or am at work. I love Berserk so much, and am so glad you took the time and effort to flesh it out. Now I can enjoy the story of Berserk while I'm busy doing other shit. I'm so relieved we'll actually get closure for this series too. I'm genuinely grateful for Mori and Studio GG and also the love from the community to keep it going. Miura is truly a God among men. RIP you crazy genius.
I go to school all day, and work into the night till around 1am. When I tell you all I look forward to in my day is your berserk series I mean it! Thanks a bunch for this I can’t wait for future series!!!
Dude i respect you alot. The fact that you make such longform content based on something we love, even though you could spread it out so you could get more views or whatever. Respect.
Thank you for making these videos. We can tell that SO much work was put into them.
Something in particular that I haven't seen anyone else comment on yet was your musical selection. I couldn't help but notice that many of your choices were from sources that were inspired by, or at least had many thematic and/or stylistic similarities to Berserk. Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Witcher, Vikings, Nier:Automata, Sicario, and even some of Susumu Hirasawa's non-Berserk stuff. And you successfully managed to match them up to appropriate scenes and moments. As someone who does similar stuff for my my weekly TTRPG campaigns, I know how difficult it can be to get just the right track for just the right scene, so kudos to you. Thanks, and great job!
My god, thank you for this! I've just watched all of it in 2 days, I'm blown away! Really enjoyed listening to you! Absolutely amazing work!
Literally only consuming Berserk through you, you're doing a good job man!
Damn that sucks man
Just started watching the deep dive and it’s so badass 🔥 I’m 40 mins in and I have been gripped from the start. Incredible job dude seriously ❤️
My man, I'm so glad I found your channel last year. You put out such consistently high quality content. Your ability to review and discuss manga/anime is on point.
I hope you get to enjoy the level of success your content on here deserves
I've wanted to read the berserk series for a long time but I don't have the time to sift through such lofty tomes, thank you so much for providing this audio synopsis. It's much easier to hide I'm listening to a video than it is to read Manga at work lol.
I saw the title and the time and straight up thought you uploaded the complete golden age trilogy.
I appreciate you using Silver Mt. Zion's music, that whole album is a trip and you reminded me how good it was
Love this, thank you for giving me an entry into berserk it has changed my view on storytelling and how yo develop and make a character
I can not thank you enough for making this video, I’m only half way through and have learned and heard a lot of things I never knew. Never had the manga. First saw the 2012 Netflix 3 part movies and was hooked. That was 2 years ago. This is the best thing out there next to the manga hands down. 97 anime is good too. But THIS is amazing
We chosen few stand before the dark precipice, our hearts steeled for the end…
Thank you Loli, for carrying the heavy load
The detail and care in this review deserves acknowledgement. Crazy in depth review, this is your purple rain Loli , good job man!!!!!!!!!! Got me into it after the first 10 mins, went away, watched it, read the black swordsman arc and came back.
Wow…that was the longest Analysis/reading video ever!
I loved every second of it.👍
When I first read 3 arcs of Berserk there were scenes I didn’t understand because of my autism but thanks to you explaining it in such a good way I can fully understand it now and I can truly appreciate the absolute work and dedication the writer has put into this masterpiece of a manga.
As for you mate, you put so much effort into this VERY LONG video you made and I really enjoyed it.😎👍
Can’t wait for part 4.
Keep up the good work mate.
Your choice of music is excellent, especially when you used Black Grease by The Black Angels during Griffith’s rescue. The lyrics and vibe go so well with what is happening. **chef’s kiss**

I have a lot of respect for this video and the way you tackle the material. You're objective, you stray away from controversy, you cover as much as you can, you don't give any excuses, and you provide plenty of references, source material, and information for the audience to follow along and to their own digging.
This might be the best youtube video ive ever seen! Mad respect for how much work went into making this....you deserve so many more subscribers man
insane, you should be proud of this!
The way you explain your ideias in the history and the environment around the manga is insane! I really loved
Amazing breakdown! After finishing on the manga to ch. 367, I kinda wanted to revisit the story from the beginning. It's been so long just keeping up with the chapters through the years. This is awesome 👌 keep up the amazing work 🤩
You give the most perfect narration. I've had people try to explain berserk to me before but not as well as you.

I think seeing griffiths jealousy as being jealous towards guts for having casca is way off, it’s much more likely the opposite that he’s jealous of casca for having guts, because you know during his time in the dungeon he was thinking all these complex feeling towards guts, hatred, love, and everything in between too complicated to put in to words, and that he realized his dream of having a kingdom paled in comparison to guts, I feel like you just ignored all that, which is fine enough cause you gotta conserve time, but a lot of what you went on to say about griffith and casca contradicts what we know about Griffith and what he values, cough guts cough
Griffith is jealous that guts is in casca’s life because that means Griffith no longer had complete control over her.
@@GigaChadh976 that’s what’s so great about the whole fucked up chain of events ever since guts left the band of the hawk, it’s so complicated with so many working parts that a majority of the theories are probably all true on some level, but mostly just when they pertain to guts.
I don’t doubt griffith didn’t want to lose control over casca on some level, but that is such a petty and small thing that I doubt that was part of griffiths big picture (not that he even knows his big picture at that point anymore). cause as I stated before, we literally see in griffiths mind in the dungeon that for one reason or another, it is all about guts. Whether it be for hatred or love or 500 different indescribable emotions in between. oh wait, we DO know he is feeling all of those emotions at once cause he states it as such when thinking about guts, which explains his extremely erratic and contradictory behavior when it comes to guts. he goes to choke guts, then he puts a comforting hand on him. he’ll give guts a spiteful look, then he’ll give him a look of compassion. He’ll say never again with you, then before he sacrifices his friends he’ll try to catch his best friend out of instinct. This stuff isn’t simple, but again mostly when it comes to guts.
I just realized when writing this that him coming on to casca was probably a last ditch effort to get casca and guts to stay to take care of him, but when he hears guts is STILL gonna leave again, that pushes him over the edge, I mean you can even see it by the look in his eye. So then his mind puts everything into his dream and he loses it, takes the carriage, crashes it, sees a vision that if his plan to get even just casca to stay was successful it would be a pathetic existence anyway of being babied by her, then laughs at how pathetic his life has become and tries to kill himself.
Sorry for the gargantuan comment, I’m a ranter
Dude is way off about 40% of the whole video.
@@GigaChadh976Griffith values Guts far more than he values Casca, who is just a pawn he uses to achieve his dream. I think you have it backwards
Pure gold. I will be 37 years old this year. I can’t believe i have been alive this long and I’m just now finding out about this. Really enjoyed the this. Subscribed and liked. Thought it would take me a week to get thru it but it only took two days. 10 out of 10. Hand salute my guy.
I told my friend to read Berserk after getting back into it through these videos and he said and I quote “I want to but I’m fighting demons right now with my messed up sleep schedule.”
Took me a few days to get through it all, but my god man. Fuckin fantastic. Music and commentary on point.
Also has a wrestling fan hearing weak enemies referred to as jobbers was a nice touch.
Parts 4 and 5 are going to make this around 15-20 hours lol. Keep at it Loli
The Spec ops the line music at the end of the eclipse, *Chef's kiss*, that was too much, 10/10 video
Imagine if Gurs gave the count’s daughter a head pat to try and help, only to berserk 2016 clang bonk on her head with his metal arm instead.
