As unfortunate as Mr. Miura's passing is, I think the important thing to remember is the fact that he left a legacy and lived a life worth living, which was one of the central messages of Berserk. He influenced gaming for possibly years to come in the form of Dark Souls, he helped spawn a number of anime, and made an iconic representation of the anti-hero archetype. And not only that, he brought together fans from all over the world over it. And as unfortunate as it is that we very likely will never see the end of it, I think just being able to do those things has left much more of a lasting mark on the world.
Godzilla had a stoke trying to read this and fucking died. Edit: just bc the quote uses proper grammar dose not mean it is easy to read. good quote tho.
I love Berserk. I started reading during a pretty hard time in my life. I had been diagnosed with cancer and needed to undergo a number of procedures(surgery, chemo, radiation). I had a lot of time to kill and was at home most days. I took that time to really get lost in the world of Berserk. The beautiful illustrations, the dynamic and interesting characters, and the masterful worldbuilding of Kentaro Miura was just about everything I could ever ask for in a manga series. Truly this was a masterpiece, and I'd found this series that, even though incredibly grim, became almost comforting to me. I could relate to Guts on a lot of levels with what I was going through. Seeing him struggle constantly and always get back up no matter what... I guess it made chemo not look so bad. Fast forward a few years and it turns out there is still a little cancer in me. I have this big operation, and end up coming home barely even feeling like myself. But I struggle on, and I pull through as best as I can because every time I fall my damn legs wont let me stay down. But then Miura passes, and honestly even though I never knew the guy personally, I feel like I just lost a family member. I started reading Berserk again as I continued to recover, even shelled out over a hundred bucks to line my shelf with some volumes. It was like falling in love all over again. I'm not sure what I'm really trying to say here. Maybe just that Berserk is really good, or maybe that it appeals to me on this special level because of what I've been through with it. Either way, Thanks Kentaro Miura. You're legacy lives on in every body your work touched on a personal level, and I know I am not the only one who feels that way.
Yeah man it’s naturally a very beautiful sound, and the fact that guts is just laid there still, exposing himself to the almost infinite, negligible drops of rain, looking out into the night sky. Pairs really well with this almost suffering orientated,supernatural and existential feel evoked from guts theme. All three elements to this video pair up beautifully. Great work!
I see no dislikes yet, good stuff, the rain being louder than the music is making it realistic than having the music louder than the rain, good aesthetic delivery.
thank you. rain videos saved me during the worst times of the pandemic, as did guts theme. originally i was using rainy mood song of the day to listen to both at once, but you can't change the volume of the rain/song separately. this was my solution
@@SenGamin in the video editor you can just make another set of audio path so that both the rain and the song will be separated and you can Edit both volumes, still it's good, Can't really dislike guts theme.
The night Miura died, I read the news on twitter like everyone else. I was filled with such a sense of sadness for a man I had never met, but who had helped to shape my life in such a profound way. I went out for a walk with my headphones on, listening to Guts' theme in the middle of an actual thunderstorm. I walked 6 and a half miles that night with this song on repeat. I was absolutely soaked when I got home. I will never forget that night, and I will never forget the wonderful story and characters that Miura brought to this world. RIP Kentaro Miura.
The night I learned of his death was the day I went on a camping trip to Lava Springs, Idaho for a week. That night I sat outside my tent in the pitch darkness with nothing but the moonlight and star-scattered sky, just reflecting deeply on life. He spent a good chunk of his life working on that manga without ever finishing it and I just wondered how many of us go through life doing the same. Will we ever truly fulfill our dreams or will our life only be cut short, with so much unfinished business. We can say he lived a great and fulfilling life but I wonder how he actually felt about his impending death and knowing he would be unable to finish his dream, having passed it on to his students, not knowing for sure he if could fulfill it. Was he actually at peace? Or did he feel immense regret and disappointment? He is human after all.. We'll never truly know for sure, all that is certain is that we sort of stumble through life much the same way, never knowing how far we'll get or how much we'll get done. All I can say for sure is had I known how fast life passes by I would have done things differently in my youth. So much time and moments wasted, believing things would last forever..
Berserk taught me that no matter how dark life gets the people around you that care about you will always be the light at the end of your tunnel thank you Miura-sensei 🙏
To be a stoic isnt about not feeling. It's about what youve felt, what youre going to feel, and knowing that the pain can never stop you from living. God bless you all who lay your eyes apoun this
@@GeraltORivia yeah. Stoicism isn't the right way anyway. I think self control, and emotional regulation, loving others above oneself, and taking care of the things that are good, and refraining from speaking evil and doing evil. Knowing that we have these natural sins, we should repent before God, and ask him humbly for forgiveness. Jesus christ is The Lord.And the savior of all mankind, and God, and the love of God for us is revealed in him. Amen
It's good to see something like this bringing us damaged people together to share our stories and prove we aren't alone in this mess and there's always room to grow. Stay strong Kings and Queens
I don’t have tragic history or else i was lucky. I have a good family and friends, i lo ve guts charachter because i can fell the struggle that i will never understand maybe when i will be il older who know but reading this comments make me feel weak maybe this Is My struggle, feel guilty to say i’m in pain in front of some people becouse they suffer and i know that i have to stop whit this thoughts this make me weaker( sorry for the terrible english i don’t know how to write well but i’m learning)
I'm a man who suffers from chronic pain. I'm thirty-six years old, and I've done a lot in my life - none of it particularly notable. I've been a boxer, a reclusive nerd, a student, a welder, a patient alone in a hospital. A husband. A father. Doctors tell me the illness that causes my pain will never go away, it's my own body killing itself, it'll take my legs from me eventually. I had to retire from welding barely before I started as it worsened. I'm doing fine really. Just another day. I've been reading Berserk since I was a teen. When Miura passed - I decided to try my hand at writing. I've always been a writer, usually nothing grand. TTRPGs, DM stuff. Character backgrounds. I've been writing a book. More to have something concrete that said 'I was here, I lived once' really than anything. I drew on it for my writing, it along with many things, Elric of Melinbone, Sparhawk of Elenia, even humble Samwise Gamgee. I filled my world with monsters, horror and decent, strong men. It's been a fulfilling process, I'm on track to finish it's first draft in a few months. Someone in my reader pool came to me the other day, he's a younger guy who's really into comics and games, big Dark Souls player and said to me; "It's like Berserk with paladins." and I couldn't contain my smile. I'd put my pain into the story, the understanding of suffering and loss that came with it. Seems along the way I started treading that same path Kentaro Miura did. Thank you Kentaro Miura. Thank you for sharing your world with me through that little square book. It made mine seem less dark. It let me eventually make my pain matter to someone. Edit: As everyone is interested, you can find the WIPs for my reader pool of my book on Archive of our Own. RUclips deletes comments with links and I don't want to pull away from this channel, so search for 'Chasing the Unicorn' and keep listening. It's not bad background music for the story by half.
Reading your testimony here has inspired me dude. I mean that. Your life is a reminder that despite the hand dealt to you the point is to continue finding something that gives meaning to you and sharing that meaning however way you can. Thanks for this.
My men out there, men who are victims of molestation and rape. We don’t get the recognition we need. We’re met with scorn and jeers and “what’re you upset for? You’re lucky!”. All we’ve got is ourselves and each other. No one else will ever truly understand. Please stay strong with me. They tried to take everything from us, they tried. But we’re so much more. Love you all.
To all my boys out here who need to hear this: I love you! I am proud! I see you struggling every single day and hate that I can’t do more for you, I see you pushing through each day even though it hurts, I see the work you put into your passions and projects, and I am proud. Proud. Because for all the times life spat in your face, you kept moving forward, making the best of a bad situation. You have my support, sympathy and respect.
"It's all right. It's like stumbling on a rock on the roadside. It's petty... A small thing. The place you want to go... Is more distant... Father off. So... It's all right. You'll stand up. And you'll start walking. Soon..."
Quote right before said person gets disgraced, captured, then tortured. It’s amazing how easily Guts fate could’ve changed with the simplest of differences but causality weaved a perfect tragedy.
I never met Miura, much the same as the rest of you. But I can’t help but feel as though I feel sorrow for his loss for more than just one comic I liked. I feel sorrow for a man I never got the chance to meet, a man of great talent. A man of extraordinary patience and discipline, a man of extreme dedication. A man gone too soon. Miura’s memory is exalted in our hearts and in the annals of manga history and comic history at large. Remember; what’s left is what he gave us.
There are few storytellers that can run such a wide gamut of tone without whiplash. Never really thought of Berserk as grim dark despite it probably getting darker than most grim dark. It is both the most beautiful and grotesque piece of fiction I think I've experienced. That, and Twin Peaks (weird comparison?)
You can do almost anything with this music on in the background. Study, walk, run, cry, laugh, seek clarity after bussin a fat nut. It's honestly tho most relaxing peace of music I've ever heard.
Seeing everyone here sharing their struggles, their pain, everything they’ve been through . It makes me realize I’m not alone, thank you everyone. I’ve been scared lately life has been moving so fast and I feel like I’ve been left behind do to my own actions. I’ve been trying to make up for lost and wasted time, trying to improve, but it doesn’t feel like enough. I don’t know what to do in life right now, I’m lost. But I will keep struggling and keep pushing forward, thanks to everyone, thanks to whoever posted this and thank you Miura for creating this story which I have finally started reading.
@@sorte6791 Guts would 100% disagree, as himself cried with pain, rage and sadness while Grifith did waht he did, you know what im talking about :/ Im fucking urging to read the manga, the fucking anime left me broken. shit... Miura, wherever you are, u made a master piece that will probably never disapear.
This has such a thick fucking mood that it physically feels heavy every time I hear that theme and yet I have no real words to describe it fully. It just sits heavy in your chest, weighing you down and yet there's this tiny glimmer of hope that you're reaching out to try and grab a hold of. Gonna be honest, I've been stuck in that unknown mood for a while. But I'm slowly getting back up and because of that, I feel more at peace than I have in a long time. Its nice.
Tbf same here @Ffifon Swithin with all the shit in my life I've pretty much become numb like I feel nothing and everything and to be honest idc if people will say this is fake but when my dad passed last August with cancer I just stood there not being upset i was just thinking this is going to cause arguments I know what you mean with it being a light thing but being so dark and stabbing you through the Heart like a phantom pain just for it to away within literally seconds i tear for max in my life 2 sec over it then brushed it off like oh ok I know he's gone but it's like eh...but aswell my soul is crushed on the inside like guts in the anime or clips you see of guts...so ye...I know what you mean man when you can't describe it
@William Martin i know as much as I hate it I agree I don't want to feel anymore pain but we have to face it to get over it or we will always be in pain it's like holding a glass of water 1 min your fine 5min fine 5 hrs your arms hurting 15 hrs it's excruciating pain 24hrs+ your parallel and completely numb We need to put the glass of water/sadness down so we or our arm in this case can heal over the long amount of time with holding it as much as i hate to say we need to drop it and let it go..
I don’t want new memories because I want to recount the old ones and then forget everything, losing my identity. I may be writing the greatest book of the 21st century, pray that I succeed 😢
I Try making new memories cus i wanna live my life to the fullest and I try keeping my old fun memories and try forgetting the bad memories cus I know reading berserk those don’t matter
Thank you i needed this I recently finished the 1997 series and the ending had me questioning everything around me and it made me uncomfortable to know it ended like that.
@@emisunflowers In one of his interview he stated that giving berserk a pretty dark, grim and sad ending seems off as the story itself is already had enough grim and sadness that giving it good ending seems right.
Berserk made me stop feeling sorry for my weak self, made me stop crying waiting for help by nothing. I got angry and grew alot of hatred towards myself for my weakness. Thats the day my struggle against my depression and suicidal thoughts started. It's been 4 years since i got diagnosed with major depression and it might never go away, but i really am gratefull for my life rn, the struggle paid off and i will continue too struggle to reach my light at the end of the tunnel no matter what. The only thing that might stop my struggle for fulfillment in life is death, and this death will not be fulfilled by myself. Continue too struggle in this cruel reality even if the odds is against you, it will always pay off in different forms.
I understand that feeling and Im in that exact predicament, I don’t know if I should use my anger. I feel like I might push or hurt others if so. I wonder if there’s another solution to this feeling of weakness. I feel like I’m just stuck.
"the sun shouldn't watch you rise. Instead you watch the sun rise." Take control of your life. I know a break-up is tough and i experienced it but you have to get back up man, keep chasing your dreams guys. Stay strong and stay safe from the modern day society 💪
Frick you, BE HAPPY YOU ARE ALIVE, GOD CREATED YOU, GOD EXPECTED YOU TO ENJOY IT. BUT HOLY YOU SAID THIS BECAUSE YOUR "GIRLFRIEND" LEFT YOU. be happy. I'm sacrificing my time to make everyone happy. And i did it for nothing because of you.
Seeing all these comments made me realize how much of an impact this man was at writing his story. I respect this man and these people in the comments and anyone who goes through anything bc its all peace, no matter how much pain and suffering or sadness people go through they find a small way to make that dim light even brighter every day. Going through depression and anxiety is really rough, its hard for me to deal with also. I never really thought deep stuff about myself that often, after so much happening to you and you're family its almost hard not to think about it every day. I blame myself for dating a crazy girl, I let myself be too open to someone who would take advantage of it, and when I stood up for myself me and my family suffered for it. Everyone was fed with lies, like if I was the bad guy but it was just a scheme, just for her to make us suffer. From being called names in the hallways of high school, to posting tik toks about us being horrible and making it go viral, everyday my family gets hate emails from random people. And then I find out way before that my mom has a disease that gets progressively worse everyday, so I watch her go through anxiety and pain mostly everyday bc of my actions. I didn't want any of this to happen, I really did have genuine feelings for her, its just I didn't know she was lying about everything she told me, I really let her manipulate me in every possible way for her attention, for her own self. I let my heart be too open, I still feel like I'm healing from it. But everyday is a new beginning, I don't want to be suicidal no matter how hard my life can get, I know I was born for greatness, like if I was meant to go through all this traumatic stuff so I can use it to motivate me to succeed in life. I watch anime to cover my thoughts, just watching the protagonist go through something horrible and bouncing back from it makes me light a fire in my soul. If anyone is reading this thank you, thank you for holding on, thank you for being strong, thank you for holding on to the light. I know its rough but I promise you it will get better, that's what I believe and I'm always gonna stick to it. God Bless to everyone
Today while reading my anatomy and psychology textbook in a cafe I started crying, it’s my first semester of college, I brush my teeth and shower daily, I’ve been training for nearly 2 years, I finally made that dermatologist appointment I’ve been putting off because I never thought anyone would see me anyway, I even have one irl friend and I’m doing more than I ever believed was possible for someone like me. Life isn’t suddenly perfect, I’m still a man on his own with no real help, if I want to make it through I can’t be weak for to long but I think even if I’m always walking this path that cuts briefly through peoples lives before leaving them behind I think I can still smile, I think I can still be satisfied, I think one day I’ll be strong enough. I only recently watched berserk 1997 and it’s an instant top 10, I hope you guys are thankful for how far you’ve come today too.
A man with a why to live can concur almost any how. - F. Neitzsche Keep pushing. Never give up. If Guts is any inspiration to you... these are words to live by. I hope you are well.
Oh you bought a self help book off of Lululemon and couldn't figure out what you needed to do after not only just reading the title but also probably the book a million times over.
@claybowman1242 don't let this idiot bring you down. If you have peace, exist within it and let this fool realize you've been nothing but a mirror for him.
I'm 34. Recently watched 5 hours of Berserk anime content. Some things show up in your life exactly when you need it. It helped me become a better and stronger man. This story will be in my heart forever. Thank you Berserk
Thank the writer rather, and maybe wish him peace aswell. But that is great to hear man it has helped me develope a ton aswell over the course of last few years. Truly a piece of art.
Every day is a blessing, even the painful ones. Don't let them go to waste. Keep to the path bros, and if you've wandered from it, look toward the Light to guide you home ✟
@@BenDover-nu3di grandma passed a couple weeks back, not the same I know but I can relate somewhat, sorry for your loss friend. I take comfort in the fact that it isn't the end though, that we'll get to see our loved ones again someday. In the meantime I guess all we can really do is live a life that'd make them proud.
Reading the comment section of this masterpiece is a refreshing life experience. A way to forget my pain and to improve myself. Thank you guys for being so motivational, keep going, nothing can stop you
Guts as a character is helping me power through everything that's causing me pain. I just recently started the manga and after I found out what happened between him and Donovin I teared up. I have suffered something similar in my childhood where somepeople forced themselves on me. Gut's reactions his need for isolation, his aversion to being touched, the nightmares, the need to become stronger, these are all things I feel on a daily basis. It's genuienly refreshing to see a character portrayed as a victim of sexual abuse being portrayed so accurately. I'm about to move out of the house of the people that have hurt me all of my life, and I'm in the process of cutting out the man that took away my innocence long ago. Guts as a character means a lot to me because it makes me feel like I can be strong and push forward in spite of the pain. That I don't have to be defined by what happened to me. My entire life has been a constant run through abuse and difficult situations. So I try and find escape through media. The people that, create media DO NOT get enough praise. They save lives. Thank you Kentaro Miura 🖤
Your life is only beginning. Struggle, endure, contend - for that alone is the sword of a man who defies death. Let your legacy be left marked in this world. For us, for yourself.
Berserk was never meant to be finished in my opinion, it’s a journey the way life is a journey. One day it’s just gone, there is nothing to tie it all together. It just ends.
I think guts needs a happy ending. Especially after all the events of the recent chapters imo it would ruin the hopeful theme berserk has throughout the manga and make the manga a lot too sad without giving us the opportunity of finally seeing guts achieve his much deserved happiness
Something i’ve noticed about Berserk that’s different from any other manga i’ve read is that thinking about it doesn’t just make me reflect on the story of Berserk and it’s characters, but on my own life, and no other manga does that for me.
At it’s core despite how dark an depressing it is at times, it’s actually an uplifting story. When you break it down it’s about the struggle against nihilism. Every human at some point in their lives is confronted with those nihilistic feelings of “why? What’s the point? Why are we here? Why do I even try?” But Berserk is about overcoming those feelings and pushing forward to find something worth living for in this maelstrom of chaos
@@joebeast15 Well stated, I think that's why the story keeps resonating with me, especially in the strange days we all currently find ourselves in. Cheers.
@@joebeast15 Very late replying to this. I believe one of the reasons that Berserk can help so many people get through the dark parts of their life, is not only because of the reasons you stated above, but because Berserk is so ridiculously over the top in its content. It makes the reader compare their own situation with Guts’, and this makes them think to themselves, well, if he can overcome THAT, surely I can overcome what i’m going through right now. And it makes them push forward.
@@SnowPyramidhonestly I have been a victim of both in the past, and I hope you have not. you know, I originally wrote a pretty savage attack on you as a comeback to this comment. But it's not worth it. I'm sorry that you feel the need to attack me, and that that's the only way you can feel empowered. I hope one day that you can find peace with yourself, and not attack strangers seeking validation from strangers.
@@MobiuSphere sorry to see this jackass felt the need to attack you for being open in this kind of space, but I wanna say I'm sorry you had a rough time. I'm glad you got through it though :) keep pushin bro
It’s coming back, after a year it’s coming back. This news has made me so happy yet so sad knowing the series is continuing without miura. I got the new and there’s a rain storm rn. May his soul rest.
It's being picked up by his best friend and staff of disciples. They've said they're going on the path of "Miura said". Only things Miura has directly stated will go into the continuation of berserk. Of anyone to finish the story, Mr. Mouri is the man to do so.
I am currently suffering from some of the worst mental disorders. Everyday is a battle against my mind, I am constantly dragging myself every day to do anything. Thank you Miura, for making this manga. It helped me and tens of millions of people.
I have been fighting a strong addiction for years, failing over and over again. But I've been making progress, I know that just like Gutts have been cursed to fight demons everyday, I am cursed to fight this addiction as well, and just like he never gave up, I will persist until the very end. Thank you Gutts, and thank you all my friends in the comment section, the bonfire of dreams...
I wish you the best of luck. Hold onto strength and fight with everything you have. Fight for your future self and fight for all the good you will be able to do once you become stronger. I know you can do it my friend! And if you stumble on your path, forgive yourself and be reminded of why you do this, why you fight.
I just relapsed on my addiction yesterday. This song helps me remember that despite how hopeless it feels, there is a light somewhere. And if I fight and struggle for long enough, I'll find it.
As a porn addict i relate, but we are born struggling, live struggling and struggle in death, It is not that we are unlucky or that the world wants us to suffer, but If we never know war we can't ever get a true and lasting peace, we are all fighting on this brother, we are human, and as humans struggling against our own destinies is what makes us different, may you find pain and defeat over and over again in your journey, but may you overcome It and live happily despite your difficulties, but never give up, for those who stand alone at the bottom of the abyss of despair holding a Broken sword shall be saved, GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!
Doing personal evaluation tasks via google-meet on a rainy day. Been unemployed for so long that i felt detached from society, postponing hobbies and stagnating personal relationships due to mood. Changing it all now. Thanks for the music.
Used this to calm my nerves, had an anxiety attack and a upset stomach, I’m afraid of throwing up, I put this on and prayed to God to get me through my anxiety attack and upset stomach, this is extremely soothing and puts me at peace. Thank you so much for uploading this it helps me genuinely a lot. God bless ❤️
bro emetophobia is so fucking horrible. panicking because you feel ill and feeling ill because you are panicking, its a vicious cycle. it has basically ruined my life alongside my extreme anxiety, i haven't been able to leave the house in almost 3 years now. i really sympathise with you because i know what its like, im so sorry you have to deal with it.
@@m1lfhunt3r Ah that's what it's called. Interesting. I once got so violently sick with a stomach bug that every time I threw up I almost passed out. Scared the shit outta me. Ever since then I go extremely far out of my way to avoid anything that could lead to throwing up. Didn't know it had a name.
I literally said out loud : "Holy fucking shit, what a fucking plot twist " at the end of the chapter. I've come to peace with it being the last chapter. The happiness I got from experiencing Berserk far outweighs the sadness that I can't continue the journey. But I guess you just gotta appreciate it even existing
A lot of these comments are people who’ve gone through life altering things and can relate to guts’s pain, I’m reading them with the theme playing in the background, it’s really sad we’ll never see the end to berserk but I’m grateful it had such an impact on people who needed it to get through tough times.
We often have our whole lives changed by things that seem to be the most unlikely ones to do so, but still we push on and let our lives be decided by these moments, you and me aren't going to meet probably, but It is not impossible, because life, pain, tastes, everything in this world connects us, we are all in the same Room sitting by each other's side, i Hope that everyone can realize that, and realize that we are all battling here, and never give up, that is our duty given by life
This song really does give me hope. I've made lots of mistakes in my short life so far and hurt people who deserved only the best. I regret it everyday but i will not give up until I redeem myself and learn self forgiveness. Everyone has their own struggles, that's just mine. The only thing all of our struggles have in common is that we can all overcome them. We don't need to do it alone either. If you feel like you need help, ask. I hope everyone here knows it's never too late to change your life for the better and begin a new life as a better person. Thank you Miura for creating something bigger than manga, for creating a character who helps people realise they shouldn't give up. Thank you for giving us hope. Rest in peace.
I am currently in a similar situation myself and this comment gives me hope that I can forgive myself if I work hard enough. Thank you fellow struggler!
Tonight I decided to quit weed because I’ve been doing it since I was 8 years old and I’m not even growing properly. Tonight I cry in my room alone to ease the stress for I have fucked up my life. It’s not an addiction more like a time killer. Time flies so fast I forget to even enjoy the little things. This Fucking sucks Im 17 turning 18 this summer. I still want to grow man. I don’t want to be a failure. I can’t even look at my mother in the eyes because I’m fucking stoned. She knows I do it but I never listen. I should listen to the quiet voice in my head telling me to be better and listen to my mom. She’s really all I give a Fuck about. What will I do when she’s gone:( Tonight I’m letting the quiet voice speak, and I all have to do is listen to it, let it guide me towards the new life I want so bad. It’s never too late to change.
im to be focused. ive lost passion to study, passion to learn. ive lost my joy in hanging out with my friends... i feel alone i dont know what to do with myself anymore
what an amazing song, to listen to while eating a potato chip and write names, thank you so much, (and thank you so much kentaro miura for the amazing manga, wish if i met him, rest in peace kentaro you'll always be in our heart)
While reading Berserk, I was crying and asking guts “please show me the answer, show me how you win, Guts.” . But later I came to know Berserk is an unfinished masterpiece, just like life, just like all art - “A art is never finished, only abandoned “ - Leonardo Da Vinci “No matter who you are, you do not truly know what kind of man you become until you reach the very end. One realises once true self at the moment of death. Don’t you think that’s what death is about?” - Itachi Uchiha So in the end, I guess Guts was unable to show me the answer. But he taught me to fight and find my own answer. He taught me that it’s ok to rely on others. Thank you Kentaro Miura ( 三浦 建太郎 ) Rest in Peace.
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Don't go gentle into that good night." There's no meaning, no sense at all. But don't abandon with such ease : you've always struggled, you can keep going for a moment. Albert Camus said that the absurd comes from the conflict between the human desire for knowledge and meaning, and the cold, unreasonably silence of the world. And that's terrifying : no transcendantal purpose to our very existence, no such thing as absolute truth. Just some ridiculously small men struggling until their death, and nothing for them afterwards. And it's purely unacceptable, so you shout as loud as you can, knowing very well that this call will get lost into void. But you keep screaming, you keep struggling, expressing your endless rage and sorrowful grief against this cold, cold world. And it will appear to you that, into the dark, other people, other strugglers rage against the machine. You're feeling a little less lonelier because this existential pain is the burden which links together all humanity. With comradeship, humans will go further on that very long path, helping each other pursuing the struggle against the terrible oddity of the universe. And so you keep moving forward. Each day. Until your last breath, for then melting with sweetness and tranquility into nothing. Revolt yourself. I know as well as you that it's intolerable - that's the one thing we all share deep down. So, please : do not go gentle into that good night.
Very poetic, yet also meaningless. Giving in to rage and following base desires because your end is nigh IS giving in to the machine. The easy and wide path. Matthew 7:13-14 King James Version 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Overcome the storm. Trust in Christ. Then you'll find eternal life. The modern philosophy is that impatience is a virtue. That's only true for those who are short on time - raging against the machine, which is its fuel. You work for your enemy. Revelation 14:9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 13And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
@@somerandom7672 (Please read the whole comment before commenting) I don't think you really understood what I meant, though it's a bit rude to say it's meaningless (it's more that you don't agree with it): what I meant by "rage" is letting burst (or "exteriorize" if you prefer, it can take many ways) the strong feeling of injustice and despair which comes with the acceptance of the lack of concrete answers to our existential questions about the world, our purpose in it, et caetera (or, at least, of means for us to reach these answers). Call it a "base desire": with love, it's for me the most human sense there is. "Giving it to the machine" is letting ourself to consume into nihilism : you say that's the "easy and wide path" ; keeping your love for your own life, for those of the other sentient beings, and for the wonders you can find in this world, is, for me again, the hardest yet the most beautiful thing that can bloom in the human existence. Having said that, the first two verses you quoted do not contradict my words. Then, you're saying "the modern philosophy is that impatience is a virtue" : first of all, what do you mean about 'modern philosophy' ? This assertion means literally nothing, the Modern Era begun at the Renaissance and ended up at the Contemporaneous Era, you can find everything and its opposite in all the philosophical currents who existed during this time. But, if by "modern" you mean "contemporaneous" (XIXth), there are still many thinkers who developed radically different points of view about metaphysics, morality, and Religion : Kierkegaard and Chestov based their ideas on nihilism and how to turn away from it, abandoning reason to turn to God; Husserl, for his part, elevates reason to the rank of worship, God being Reason itself, an abstraction; Nietzsche, he wants to put down Christian morality (obsolete because "God is dead" with the scientific relativism brought by the industrial revolution, which he deplores besides! because this led to the emergence of nihilism) to establish an aristocratic ethic based on the concept of "Superman". I don't know what you're talking about with "impatience", it's way too wide (and wide leads to damnation). Same when you say it's a virtue for those short on time ; what is that supposed to mean ? Human existence is short, and yours is longer because you believe in afterlife ? Okay, but still no guarantee, no revelation has appeared to me. Then, "raging against the machine, which is its fuel - you work for your enemy" (there's no such thing as a defined "enemy", like the Devil or the Idea of Evil (I was talking about Berserk in the first place lol), the world might be cold and hostile, it isn't against me neither it is with me, it is careless, indifferent): this kind of perspective about what you're calling "patience" is a very old-fashioned, Victorian way of thinking ; endure, endure the injustice, do not be zealous, preserve the established order even though it would be amoral, unjust and repressive. Because to revolt, to rebel yourself (even in the face of the most unbearable oppression, the most autocratic power, the systemic machine of a conservative, discriminatory and deeply unequal regime), is to commit the greatest of sins, it is to be in the image of Lucifer who challenged the authority of the Almighty. It is to question the arbitrariness of the secular tradition and of the society that it has forged by its regressive values. Don't do that, don't question, don't make too much noise, just obey, and you'll surely be granted in your afterlife ; do it, and you'll taste the wine of the wrath of God. But that's politics, and we're here to talk about religion. Now, I will elaborate about why I'm not a believer and why I personally don't find religions trustworthy. For technically having been a "Christian" myself (baptism, confirmation,... all that stuff) and having read some recent studies, I can tell the majority of Christianity (at least in Western Europe) do nothing more but to perpetuate the familial tradition (it was also the case in the past but differently, kind of ; it is also the case for other cults but not in the same proportion) : they put no more faith into it (or very superficially), they might go to church once or twice a year for the main religious celebrations, but these ones (despite currently being commercial to the core) are more moments that bring the whole family together than it is to celebrate or give thanks for the birth of Christ or his resurrection. You and some others may have been blessed by the revelation of Jesus Christ's true power and love ; it's not my case, neither it is or will be for most of humanity (whether we are religious or not). Without the reality of the Christ's love being revealed to me and knowing from my heart He is the Son of God who gave his life to save our souls, how could I possibly tell you're more legitimate than a Muslim, an Hindu, a Jew, a Buddhist, or any follower of such religion or such spirituality, who believe, like you, with all their heart, in a different entity or in the same but differently ? Within Christianism, I couldn't even tell if you're Catholic, Lutheran, Calvinist, Anglican, Orthodox, Evangelist, Mormon, etc. (Edit: my bad, I just noticed the "King James version"); then, when it comes to know which of these variants "is" the True One... Although you're deeply believing in your faith, you're probably just following the religion variant of your parents. How could I trust someone for him to know the one true faith, while he's just perpetuating his familial tradition ? It would be irrational and arbitrary. From my perspective, waiting all my life for this kind of revelation to occur or not, isn't the way I want to live. I choose to follow my own path, wrongly perhaps. But there's one thing I'm sure about : religions pretend to be universal, but they're not. They never were, never will be. They are deeply rooted in a specific geographic space and a particular culture ; when they want to expand, they tend to cause a lot of death, abuse and suffering of all kinds. Even if I love Dostoïevski, the maxim "If God is dead, anything goes" has been shown to be false : nihilism is the first step towards a truer way to exist as a ethical being because this one will do good without being threatened by damnation or granted by God after his physical death ; this one will love mankind for what it is, he/she will not love God and be caring and respectful towards its neighbor because, if he/she is not, its soul will be doomed ! I don't think religions are worthless though : there are beautiful and relevant thinkings about the world in most of them, and some are proposing good life precepts ig ; but I prefer not to restrain myself in a single frame of thoughts, with a single reading of the world : philosophy suffices to my desire for answers as to the way of living fraternally, or at least in respect and good understanding, with my fellows. The question of God doesn't interest me that much, I can do without : maybe this clock has a clockmaker (to quote Voltaire), but I don't think He got any role to play in the human existence. And everyone is free to believe in whatever he/she wants, if you don't make other people suffer because of your beliefs. Being threatened because of your religion, is truly intolerable. Because, whatever people could argue about it, religions are only about beliefs : even if some believers think so, there's no irrefutable proofs of the existence of God, afterlife, reincarnation, souls, or the efficiency of prayers ; neither there is that proves that one religion or its religious variant is true, and the many many others are wrong. For my part, I really love Camus' philosophy : his agnosticist humanism ; the way he conceives the world without the formatted and agreed answers brought by the religions about our purpose (the absurdity of the human condition), plus (and it's far more important!) a way to live in such an hostile and silent world (to revolt against this lack of answers) and a way to behave in it, with our comrades of misfortune (the theme of love). "So, I would live without the comforts of belief, but I would live with dignity and with love for my fellow human beings." (Verse 1 of My Ethic)
" The problem to chase a dream after you wake up is... it's over and gone already, to live forever in your memories, in your heart. Or maybe we're all just a dream from some immeasurable entity, a dream inside a dream. So, let's hope it never wakes, after all, we can only dream " Thank you for everything, Kentaro Miura! Eternal struggler! =,)
I think I speak for everyone when saying that such a theme is so much more fitting to what Guts wants to be rather than some hardened battle music. This perfectly captures the quiet peaceful life he wants to have. What he needs to have. Yet it also has the familiar feeling of pain somewhere off in the distance.
You know, things just went downhill these days for me but you know what? It'll all be alright. I'll just hang in there so you do too pal. you can make it, we both will.
Ill be going before you gents unfortunately. Ill be there to welcome you after the cold washes over though. Life is fickle and cruel. Death however, is constant and merciful. Fight for two, even if theres only one shadow that follows.

I unexpectedly lost my mum almost two years ago. There was so much I wanted to say to her, and experience with her. Losing the most important person in your life (even if you don't realise they're the most important person) is fucking hard, but the Berserk music gives me a strange sense of calm despite the story being so brutal. Thank you for uploading this, and I love and everyone listening to this struggling with anything. You're a struggler, you/we will prevail.
Such dark story but how many people get inspired by it. Berserk comments it's like group therapy. Glad to be here. Thank you for everything Miura sensei.
I picked up Berserk a very long time ago. I’ve been slowly waiting for every release, chapter, in a pretty much agonizing breath. May sound cringy, but it really helped me throughout several stages of my life. I just hit 20 recently and it’s been getting better in life. I’m still not where I want to be, but I’m striving to get where I want to go. I’m reading Berserk a lot; picking up things I didn’t notice before and just remembering things. Guts is definitely one of my favorite characters in manga. I love the man, and I love Miura. Took a bit out of my soul when he passed. This theme has been on repeat for the past week after my work days end and I’m just wanting to be in an easy state of mind. Life has been hard, but I gotta be thankful that I’m surviving. Appreciating myself more and more as time passes; easing myself out of the rut I’ve been in for such a long time. 10/10
I feel like everyone here found something relatable to them in Guts. You dont know how powerful your will can be. Dont give up. You dont know your limit,so why dont you fight to reach it? Maybe after a long time thinking about this you'll find that it was only the first step. Even if your soul will remain after you die, will you forgive yourself, because you never tried? No? You have no choice then. Fight to the end. Die happy.
when I die, I want to be in the same theme of this panel. lying on the wet grass, watching the rain droplets collapsing on my wounded face, I'll pass with a smile on my face knowing I fulfilled my tasks, my ambitions
Me too. Shame guns don't often lead to a slow realization of death. It's just over. I'm a 2A advocate, but melee weapons are as human as opposable thumbs.
@@Yamaazaka Depends, most of the time bullets dont hit the part of the brain really responsible for living, anything else makes you bleed out though and major arteries obviously even faster. It may look like instant death though when hit in the chest for example, but its just shock, brain death follows after while aswell if said major artery or internal organ was hit.
@𝐀𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐚 you must have synesthesia if you think listening to music makes you feel as if rain is falling on your cringey face. But I guess this is just you trying to sound poetic like every other loser in this comment section. Couldn't be me lmfao!
my god... berserk really is one of the greatest fictional stories ever created. It really resonates with me on such an emotional level. Love guts and his story forever.
i listen to this every night, my father passed away a few years ago. he listened to this often, he said it was relaxing and it helped him sleep. now whenever i hear this i know he can rest in peace, thank you for making this.
That's kinda a stupid sentence. God could've made dogs into anything, and he chose to make them dogs. God could've made kangaroos into anything, and he chose to make them kangaroos.
@@SisyphusSRB right, because were weren't human before being human, kangaroos didn't exist before he made one, we should be happy that we were made the better living organism, life could have been great for everyone if our human minds didn't have the ability to become so twisted and fucked up, we are all born in to the remains of the decisions of what fucked minds did, good or bad living conditions
It's been a rough one for me. My parents split when I was 10, my biological mother was both verbally and physically abusive. I used to be a smart and happy kid no matter what, but something, and I don't know what, changed that. I'm gonna be 22 next month, and I've had so much happen to me since then. I've heard that a big piece of you as a kid will always be with you, but I don't know that it will be that way for me. Depressive episodes, possible bipolar disorder from my mother, never feeling like I've fit in anywhere, never feeling like I've formed deep connections with anybody. I don't know if that will ever change, I have horrible anxiety from my father, the same person I probably inherited my depressive issues from. I have no idea what's really wrong with me, and I don't think I ever will. I've only ever been in a relationship with one person, and it was back when I was 17 and only for about 3 months. I never think about relationships, at this point in my life it just doesn't concern me. Does it upset me somewhere deep inside? Probably, but I may have been dealing with what mental problems that certain people in my life have told me I have for so long completely unchecked that I may never be normal again. I have no idea who I am, I barely even see myself as a person. I don't think I've ever really been somebody, between my mental troubles and problems in the physical world I don't think I've ever gotten the chance to be much more than a shard of who I might be. It probably sounds confusing, so apologies if it is but I have a hard time explaining because I myself don't understand it either. That bright, happy kid I used to be scares me, because in comparison I'm some kind of monster of sorts now, an incredibly fractured person. Hell, I'm pretty sure that because of what problems I may have in my head my memory has started slipping worse and worse over the years, I can't just get that back. I will literally never be the person I used to be, for better or worse whether I want to or not. To tell whoever is reading this the truth and nothing but it, I don't know why I'm even writing this. I don't. It's so uncanny, I feel as though I have little to no presence in my own life, something I would normally think is impossible. It's scary how different I am now, having once been that innocent, shining kid, and here I am at almost 22 - a fractured, depressive, anxiety-ridden mess of what I have a hard time believing is a person. There have been times where I've seen myself as nothing more than some kind of mistake, a fluke - like I'm not supposed to exist as if I'm an accident no matter whose fault it is that I'm here writing this tonight at about 1AM after scrolling and randomly clicking on this video because this song brings me some sort of peace, maybe even some kind of hope that I will have a reason to exist one day, I'll have something to live for. Nobody in my personal life knows, but I've even attempted suicide a handful of times. It sucks, and I know it's something I probably shouldn't have tried, but seeing no reason to exist on top of whatever stress and problems come my way, I saw it as my way out and to be frank I still do. Haven't tried anything in 5 or 6 years but I've come close plenty of times, more than I could possibly count. I genuinely believe that I'm not supposed to exist, whether it be because of my lack of a will to live, or some kind of cosmic belief that I'm a mistake of the universe or something similar on a more grandiose scale. I have so much more that I could write, but I really don't even expect anyone to be reading this far into my dumb little post here. To wrap things up, on advice of my father I'm going to see a doctor soon, possibly for some kind of prescription that will help me. Maybe things will turn around for me, maybe this is where my suffering ends. Thank you to anyone who reads this, I hope I'm not simply tossing this into the void.
I hope you find your purpose in life my friend, life is made of challenges. Just remember whenever there's rain there will be a rainbow in the end. Ngl Berserk is one of the reasons i keep pushing forward no story inspires me more, maybe give the manga a try perhaps you will share the same fellings as me. Keep pushing forward soldier. ❤️
this song helped me sleep the night my dad died, and that's when I realized he looked a bit like Guts. I hope he has a happy ending, he will always be my favorite character
After reading berserk I understand life is a struggle. 3 years ago to this day I was diagnosed with clinical depression. It would never go away. I knew that it wouldn't and for the first year or two I cried everyday. One day I discovered berserk, I started to understand how it was. Life is not always equal or positive, you have to trade your few happy times for many negative times. Those happy times are what you remember. While the sorrowful and depressed ones may be remembered for a year or two, only true, deep trauma will last. Many thoughts will be happy in the end, some won't be, some will be your traumas. That was the start of my self improvement journey. I'm truly thankful I found out about berserk, while it's not a therapist it helped me realize some things.
i literally listened to all 3 hours and i feel so empty inside. im currently dealing with a really toxic environment and seeing guts lie on the grass during a thunderstorm has made me realize we all struggle with internalized depression and sadness. to all berserk fans, i salute you. we are the greatest manga fans in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Gosh, do you mean toxic people around you? I'm dealing with this everyday with my family. It hurts so much when the closest people behave horribly gaslighting, manipulating, shitting on your head... I moved from them but now I'm feeling so lonely especially when I had to cut ties with my mother. I miss and love her so much, but she is a very terrible person. It was a shock to me when I realised this but I couldn't do anything but leave her.
@@Heine37 true... but it's harder in Asian society, especially if you're belong to small ethnic group with conservative shamanistic views, where you should obey and worship your parents as your gods. I mean it, because even they dies they'll become guardians of your family and still affect on your life and children. They can protect or harm you. Since I have some mystical experience with spirits and foreshadowing dreams I believe in this. However, I have hope, because they are not absolute, and I can overcome them. BTW, funny(and scary), but I had experience in life when spirits of the dead haunted me. I had been pushed to Bardo (place where living beings go afterlife for 49 days) and I felt dead people and no living. However, I see and hear living I could not felt them like they were unreal. Dead tried to take me I was full of life. I was losing energy and feeling so badly, but my body was ok. I was literally dying without any sickness. I went to the sacred place for the salvation and prayed for some time and it saved me. That is one of the reason I love the manga. It resonates me how Miura showed the gap between living and dead and how dead haunted Guts at nights - I also suffered from the dead when sun disappeared. I would also advise Guts to burn juniper incense - it banishes the dead.
@@darimamitypova6964 I don't believe any of that mystical stuff. But I understand people when say they believe or experienced metaphysical things. Because since life is a state of mind, why I wouldnt accept metaphysical things as another reality or perception. I am so glad you find a connection with guts. Life is a continuous struggle. Keep struggling fellow struggler.
I really do have a love hate relationship with this song. The emotions this song brings is excruciating. It reminds me of a perfect mixture happiness, love and sadness, pain. Yet the painful and sad thoughts always tend to overshadow the good thoughts, and yet I still love it. RIP Miura.
I’ve literally know nothing about this stuff, never read the manga or anything, yet this makes me feel a special way, like it holds a special place in my heart. Maybe I should go check this thing out. Seems to me all of you really enjoyed it, maybe I will too.
Berserk is the best thing I've ever read that I would never recommend anyone - not to say that you shouldn't read it, but rather I can't be sure if you have what it takes to digest it. Like, A really hot Carolina Reaper pepper can be an awesome experience but I'd never recommend it to anyone. Do it at your own peril.
It’s almost a disservice to yourself NOT to read this. The manga is LONG, but it is so incredibly good. The character arcs, the suffering and ways of coping they go through, the detailed art style itself, the inspiration and motivating statements that relate to the reader, etc. you could go on forever on why it’s so good, but it’s best to just read it yourself. There’s anime adaptations but each one has a different flaw and they all skip some important scenes that are in the manga due to time constraints. My advice is to read the manga first, at least until the end of golden age arc, then watch the 1997 anime and the 3 golden age movies, then continue reading. There’s also an anime that came out in 2016 you can watch as well if you can stomach all the issues surrounding it. They even have several berserk games that are loosely tied to the story as well
@@0bez704 why are you here just to comment on every single comment saying their cringe? Find something better to do with your time, like maybe reading Berserk.
In a weird way, Miura passing is like... the Struggler's journey personified. His life itself was a life lesson. It's not about the end goal, it's about the journey. This man dedicated his life to his art, to this one story, more than most people will dedicate their life to ANYTHING. He created an absolute masterpiece that will live forever. Yes, it would've been great to see the end drawn by his hand. But at least we will get an idea of how he wanted things to end with the manga continuing.

As unfortunate as Mr. Miura's passing is, I think the important thing to remember is the fact that he left a legacy and lived a life worth living, which was one of the central messages of Berserk. He influenced gaming for possibly years to come in the form of Dark Souls, he helped spawn a number of anime, and made an iconic representation of the anti-hero archetype. And not only that, he brought together fans from all over the world over it. And as unfortunate as it is that we very likely will never see the end of it, I think just being able to do those things has left much more of a lasting mark on the world.
Only in death does your legacy truly cements itself. Some forgotten and some will be remembered for decades to come
What if he wrote the end of Berserk and it will eventually get drawn and published? Long life to his legacy.
Absolutely, greetings from Argentina mate

I love Berserk. I started reading during a pretty hard time in my life. I had been diagnosed with cancer and needed to undergo a number of procedures(surgery, chemo, radiation). I had a lot of time to kill and was at home most days. I took that time to really get lost in the world of Berserk. The beautiful illustrations, the dynamic and interesting characters, and the masterful worldbuilding of Kentaro Miura was just about everything I could ever ask for in a manga series. Truly this was a masterpiece, and I'd found this series that, even though incredibly grim, became almost comforting to me. I could relate to Guts on a lot of levels with what I was going through. Seeing him struggle constantly and always get back up no matter what... I guess it made chemo not look so bad.
Fast forward a few years and it turns out there is still a little cancer in me. I have this big operation, and end up coming home barely even feeling like myself. But I struggle on, and I pull through as best as I can because every time I fall my damn legs wont let me stay down. But then Miura passes, and honestly even though I never knew the guy personally, I feel like I just lost a family member. I started reading Berserk again as I continued to recover, even shelled out over a hundred bucks to line my shelf with some volumes. It was like falling in love all over again.
I'm not sure what I'm really trying to say here. Maybe just that Berserk is really good, or maybe that it appeals to me on this special level because of what I've been through with it. Either way, Thanks Kentaro Miura. You're legacy lives on in every body your work touched on a personal level, and I know I am not the only one who feels that way.

the rain adds a lot to guts theme honestly
Even more with this pic in the background
Yeah man it’s naturally a very beautiful sound, and the fact that guts is just laid there still, exposing himself to the almost infinite, negligible drops of rain, looking out into the night sky. Pairs really well with this almost suffering orientated,supernatural and existential feel evoked from guts theme. All three elements to this video pair up beautifully. Great work!

The night I learned of his death was the day I went on a camping trip to Lava Springs, Idaho for a week. That night I sat outside my tent in the pitch darkness with nothing but the moonlight and star-scattered sky, just reflecting deeply on life. He spent a good chunk of his life working on that manga without ever finishing it and I just wondered how many of us go through life doing the same. Will we ever truly fulfill our dreams or will our life only be cut short, with so much unfinished business. We can say he lived a great and fulfilling life but I wonder how he actually felt about his impending death and knowing he would be unable to finish his dream, having passed it on to his students, not knowing for sure he if could fulfill it.
Was he actually at peace? Or did he feel immense regret and disappointment? He is human after all.. We'll never truly know for sure, all that is certain is that we sort of stumble through life much the same way, never knowing how far we'll get or how much we'll get done. All I can say for sure is had I known how fast life passes by I would have done things differently in my youth. So much time and moments wasted, believing things would last forever..

To be a stoic isnt about not feeling. It's about what youve felt, what youre going to feel, and knowing that the pain can never stop you from living. God bless you all who lay your eyes apoun this
thank you this is a good take on stoicism :)
thanks, really
You don’t choose to be stoic. No matter how much you try, in the heat of the moment you automatically return to your nature.
@@GeraltORivia yeah. Stoicism isn't the right way anyway. I think self control, and emotional regulation, loving others above oneself, and taking care of the things that are good, and refraining from speaking evil and doing evil. Knowing that we have these natural sins, we should repent before God, and ask him humbly for forgiveness. Jesus christ is The Lord.And the savior of all mankind, and God, and the love of God for us is revealed in him. Amen

It's lonely being better than everyone else. Nobody is relatable or entertaining, just irritating.
I'm a man who suffers from chronic pain. I'm thirty-six years old, and I've done a lot in my life - none of it particularly notable. I've been a boxer, a reclusive nerd, a student, a welder, a patient alone in a hospital. A husband. A father. Doctors tell me the illness that causes my pain will never go away, it's my own body killing itself, it'll take my legs from me eventually. I had to retire from welding barely before I started as it worsened. I'm doing fine really. Just another day.
I've been reading Berserk since I was a teen. When Miura passed - I decided to try my hand at writing. I've always been a writer, usually nothing grand. TTRPGs, DM stuff. Character backgrounds. I've been writing a book. More to have something concrete that said 'I was here, I lived once' really than anything. I drew on it for my writing, it along with many things, Elric of Melinbone, Sparhawk of Elenia, even humble Samwise Gamgee. I filled my world with monsters, horror and decent, strong men. It's been a fulfilling process, I'm on track to finish it's first draft in a few months.
Someone in my reader pool came to me the other day, he's a younger guy who's really into comics and games, big Dark Souls player and said to me; "It's like Berserk with paladins." and I couldn't contain my smile. I'd put my pain into the story, the understanding of suffering and loss that came with it. Seems along the way I started treading that same path Kentaro Miura did.
Thank you Kentaro Miura. Thank you for sharing your world with me through that little square book. It made mine seem less dark. It let me eventually make my pain matter to someone.
Edit: As everyone is interested, you can find the WIPs for my reader pool of my book on Archive of our Own.

Quote right before said person gets disgraced, captured, then tortured.
It’s amazing how easily Guts fate could’ve changed with the simplest of differences but causality weaved a perfect tragedy.
I never met Miura, much the same as the rest of you. But I can’t help but feel as though I feel sorrow for his loss for more than just one comic I liked. I feel sorrow for a man I never got the chance to meet, a man of great talent. A man of extraordinary patience and discipline, a man of extreme dedication. A man gone too soon. Miura’s memory is exalted in our hearts and in the annals of manga history and comic history at large.
Remember; what’s left is what he gave us.
There are few storytellers that can run such a wide gamut of tone without whiplash. Never really thought of Berserk as grim dark despite it probably getting darker than most grim dark. It is both the most beautiful and grotesque piece of fiction I think I've experienced.
That, and Twin Peaks (weird comparison?)

Thats the day my struggle against my depression and suicidal thoughts started. It's been 4 years since i got diagnosed with major depression and it might never go away, but i really am gratefull for my life rn, the struggle paid off and i will continue too struggle to reach my light at the end of the tunnel no matter what. The only thing that might stop my struggle for fulfillment in life is death, and this death will not be fulfilled by myself. Continue too struggle in this cruel reality even if the odds is against you, it will always pay off in different forms.

Seeing all these comments made me realize how much of an impact this man was at writing his story. I respect this man and these people in the comments and anyone who goes through anything bc its all peace, no matter how much pain and suffering or sadness people go through they find a small way to make that dim light even brighter every day. Going through depression and anxiety is really rough, its hard for me to deal with also. I never really thought deep stuff about myself that often, after so much happening to you and you're family its almost hard not to think about it every day. I blame myself for dating a crazy girl, I let myself be too open to someone who would take advantage of it, and when I stood up for myself me and my family suffered for it. Everyone was fed with lies, like if I was the bad guy but it was just a scheme, just for her to make us suffer. From being called names in the hallways of high school, to posting tik toks about us being horrible and making it go viral, everyday my family gets hate emails from random people. And then I find out way before that my mom has a disease that gets progressively worse everyday, so I watch her go through anxiety and pain mostly everyday bc of my actions. I didn't want any of this to happen, I really did have genuine feelings for her, its just I didn't know she was lying about everything she told me, I really let her manipulate me in every possible way for her attention, for her own self. I let my heart be too open, I still feel like I'm healing from it. But everyday is a new beginning, I don't want to be suicidal no matter how hard my life can get, I know I was born for greatness, like if I was meant to go through all this traumatic stuff so I can use it to motivate me to succeed in life. I watch anime to cover my thoughts, just watching the protagonist go through something horrible and bouncing back from it makes me light a fire in my soul. If anyone is reading this thank you, thank you for holding on, thank you for being strong, thank you for holding on to the light.

Life isn’t suddenly perfect, I’m still a man on his own with no real help, if I want to make it through I can’t be weak for to long but I think even if I’m always walking this path that cuts briefly through peoples lives before leaving them behind I think I can still smile, I think I can still be satisfied, I think one day I’ll be strong enough.

Guts as a character is helping me power through everything that's causing me pain. I just recently started the manga and after I found out what happened between him and Donovin I teared up. I have suffered something similar in my childhood where somepeople forced themselves on me. Gut's reactions his need for isolation, his aversion to being touched, the nightmares, the need to become stronger, these are all things I feel on a daily basis. It's genuienly refreshing to see a character portrayed as a victim of sexual abuse being portrayed so accurately. I'm about to move out of the house of the people that have hurt me all of my life, and I'm in the process of cutting out the man that took away my innocence long ago. Guts as a character means a lot to me because it makes me feel like I can be strong and push forward in spite of the pain. That I don't have to be defined by what happened to me. My entire life has been a constant run through abuse and difficult situations. So I try and find escape through media. The people that, create media DO NOT get enough praise. They save lives. Thank you Kentaro Miura 🖤

Berserk was never meant to be finished in my opinion, it’s a journey the way life is a journey. One day it’s just gone, there is nothing to tie it all together. It just ends.
Like they say. It's not about the destination, but the journey
Still wanna see it finish though
@@demondante7537Journey before destination, life before death, cereal before milk
griffith wins. thats how it ends.
I think guts needs a happy ending. Especially after all the events of the recent chapters imo it would ruin the hopeful theme berserk has throughout the manga and make the manga a lot too sad without giving us the opportunity of finally seeing guts achieve his much deserved happiness
Something i’ve noticed about Berserk that’s different from any other manga i’ve read is that thinking about it doesn’t just make me reflect on the story of Berserk and it’s characters, but on my own life, and no other manga does that for me.
At it’s core despite how dark an depressing it is at times, it’s actually an uplifting story. When you break it down it’s about the struggle against nihilism. Every human at some point in their lives is confronted with those nihilistic feelings of “why? What’s the point? Why are we here? Why do I even try?” But Berserk is about overcoming those feelings and pushing forward to find something worth living for in this maelstrom of chaos
@@joebeast15 Well stated, I think that's why the story keeps resonating with me, especially in the strange days we all currently find ourselves in. Cheers.

@@joebeast15 Very late replying to this. I believe one of the reasons that Berserk can help so many people get through the dark parts of their life, is not only because of the reasons you stated above, but because Berserk is so ridiculously over the top in its content. It makes the reader compare their own situation with Guts’, and this makes them think to themselves, well, if he can overcome THAT, surely I can overcome what i’m going through right now. And it makes them push forward.

I am currently suffering from some of the worst mental disorders. Everyday is a battle against my mind, I am constantly dragging myself every day to do anything.
Thank you Miura, for making this manga. It helped me and tens of millions of people.
I understand man, we’re in this together
Stay strong bro
I was gonna comment something similar. I'm glad I'm not alone....
Stay strong
HEAD UP MY KING. PLEASE.
I have been fighting a strong addiction for years, failing over and over again. But I've been making progress, I know that just like Gutts have been cursed to fight demons everyday, I am cursed to fight this addiction as well, and just like he never gave up, I will persist until the very end. Thank you Gutts, and thank you all my friends in the comment section, the bonfire of dreams...
I wish you the best of luck. Hold onto strength and fight with everything you have. Fight for your future self and fight for all the good you will be able to do once you become stronger. I know you can do it my friend! And if you stumble on your path, forgive yourself and be reminded of why you do this, why you fight.
I just relapsed on my addiction yesterday. This song helps me remember that despite how hopeless it feels, there is a light somewhere. And if I fight and struggle for long enough, I'll find it.
As a porn addict i relate, but we are born struggling, live struggling and struggle in death, It is not that we are unlucky or that the world wants us to suffer, but If we never know war we can't ever get a true and lasting peace, we are all fighting on this brother, we are human, and as humans struggling against our own destinies is what makes us different, may you find pain and defeat over and over again in your journey, but may you overcome It and live happily despite your difficulties, but never give up, for those who stand alone at the bottom of the abyss of despair holding a Broken sword shall be saved, GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!

We are lucky to have such a character, he’s helped me throughout the hardest of hardships in my life. All I have to say is Thank you.
youre welcome
Used this to calm my nerves, had an anxiety attack and a upset stomach, I’m afraid of throwing up, I put this on and prayed to God to get me through my anxiety attack and upset stomach, this is extremely soothing and puts me at peace. Thank you so much for uploading this it helps me genuinely a lot. God bless ❤️
im so glad it helped
bro emetophobia is so fucking horrible. panicking because you feel ill and feeling ill because you are panicking, its a vicious cycle. it has basically ruined my life alongside my extreme anxiety, i haven't been able to leave the house in almost 3 years now. i really sympathise with you because i know what its like, im so sorry you have to deal with it.
@@m1lfhunt3r Ah that's what it's called. Interesting. I once got so violently sick with a stomach bug that every time I threw up I almost passed out. Scared the shit outta me. Ever since then I go extremely far out of my way to avoid anything that could lead to throwing up. Didn't know it had a name.
It’s when you are lost in despair, looking into the abyss, that you can truly appreciate the glimpses of pure beauty in this world.

I literally said out loud : "Holy fucking shit, what a fucking plot twist " at the end of the chapter. I've come to peace with it being the last chapter.

We often have our whole lives changed by things that seem to be the most unlikely ones to do so, but still we push on and let our lives be decided by these moments, you and me aren't going to meet probably, but It is not impossible, because life, pain, tastes, everything in this world connects us, we are all in the same Room sitting by each other's side, i Hope that everyone can realize that, and realize that we are all battling here, and never give up, that is our duty given by life

This song really does give me hope. I've made lots of mistakes in my short life so far and hurt people who deserved only the best. I regret it everyday but i will not give up until I redeem myself and learn self forgiveness. Everyone has their own struggles, that's just mine. The only thing all of our struggles have in common is that we can all overcome them. We don't need to do it alone either. If you feel like you need help, ask. I hope everyone here knows it's never too late to change your life for the better and begin a new life as a better person. Thank you Miura for creating something bigger than manga, for creating a character who helps people realise they shouldn't give up. Thank you for giving us hope. Rest in peace.
I am currently in a similar situation myself and this comment gives me hope that I can forgive myself if I work hard enough. Thank you fellow struggler!
Tonight I decided to quit weed because I’ve been doing it since I was 8 years old and I’m not even growing properly. Tonight I cry in my room alone to ease the stress for I have fucked up my life. It’s not an addiction more like a time killer. Time flies so fast I forget to even enjoy the little things. This Fucking sucks Im 17 turning 18 this summer. I still want to grow man. I don’t want to be a failure. I can’t even look at my mother in the eyes because I’m fucking stoned. She knows I do it but I never listen. I should listen to the quiet voice in my head telling me to be better and listen to my mom. She’s really all I give a Fuck about. What will I do when she’s gone:( Tonight I’m letting the quiet voice speak, and I all have to do is listen to it, let it guide me towards the new life I want so bad. It’s never too late to change.

“No matter who you are, you do not truly know what kind of man you become until you reach the very end. One realises once true self at the moment of death. Don’t you think that’s what death is about?” - Itachi Uchiha
So in the end, I guess Guts was unable to show me the answer. But he taught me to fight and find my own answer. He taught me that it’s ok to rely on others.
Thank you Kentaro Miura ( 三浦 建太郎 )
Rest in Peace.
Bro where did you read the manga of season 2?
It's very difficult to feel any sort of anxiety when listening to this.
It's very nice to not feel anxiety for a little bit.
It's great to think about life while laying down too fr
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Don't go gentle into that good night."
There's no meaning, no sense at all. But don't abandon with such ease : you've always struggled, you can keep going for a moment.
Albert Camus said that the absurd comes from the conflict between the human desire for knowledge and meaning, and the cold, unreasonably silence of the world. And that's terrifying : no transcendantal purpose to our very existence, no such thing as absolute truth. Just some ridiculously small men struggling until their death, and nothing for them afterwards.
And it's purely unacceptable, so you shout as loud as you can, knowing very well that this call will get lost into void. But you keep screaming, you keep struggling, expressing your endless rage and sorrowful grief against this cold, cold world. And it will appear to you that, into the dark, other people, other strugglers rage against the machine. You're feeling a little less lonelier because this existential pain is the burden which links together all humanity. With comradeship, humans will go further on that very long path, helping each other pursuing the struggle against the terrible oddity of the universe. And so you keep moving forward. Each day. Until your last breath, for then melting with sweetness and tranquility into nothing.
Revolt yourself. I know as well as you that it's intolerable - that's the one thing we all share deep down. So, please : do not go gentle into that good night.
Beautiful
Very poetic, yet also meaningless.
Giving in to rage and following base desires because your end is nigh IS giving in to the machine. The easy and wide path.
Matthew 7:13-14
King James Version
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Overcome the storm. Trust in Christ. Then you'll find eternal life.
The modern philosophy is that impatience is a virtue. That's only true for those who are short on time - raging against the machine, which is its fuel. You work for your enemy.
Revelation 14:9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
@@somerandom7672 (Please read the whole comment before commenting)
I don't think you really understood what I meant, though it's a bit rude to say it's meaningless (it's more that you don't agree with it): what I meant by "rage" is letting burst (or "exteriorize" if you prefer, it can take many ways) the strong feeling of injustice and despair which comes with the acceptance of the lack of concrete answers to our existential questions about the world, our purpose in it, et caetera (or, at least, of means for us to reach these answers).
Call it a "base desire": with love, it's for me the most human sense there is. "Giving it to the machine" is letting ourself to consume into nihilism : you say that's the "easy and wide path" ; keeping your love for your own life, for those of the other sentient beings, and for the wonders you can find in this world, is, for me again, the hardest yet the most beautiful thing that can bloom in the human existence.
Having said that, the first two verses you quoted do not contradict my words.
Then, you're saying "the modern philosophy is that impatience is a virtue" : first of all, what do you mean about 'modern philosophy' ? This assertion means literally nothing, the Modern Era begun at the Renaissance and ended up at the Contemporaneous Era, you can find everything and its opposite in all the philosophical currents who existed during this time.
But, if by "modern" you mean "contemporaneous" (XIXth), there are still many thinkers who developed radically different points of view about metaphysics, morality, and Religion : Kierkegaard and Chestov based their ideas on nihilism and how to turn away from it, abandoning reason to turn to God; Husserl, for his part, elevates reason to the rank of worship, God being Reason itself, an abstraction; Nietzsche, he wants to put down Christian morality (obsolete because "God is dead" with the scientific relativism brought by the industrial revolution, which he deplores besides! because this led to the emergence of nihilism) to establish an aristocratic ethic based on the concept of "Superman".
I don't know what you're talking about with "impatience", it's way too wide (and wide leads to damnation). Same when you say it's a virtue for those short on time ; what is that supposed to mean ? Human existence is short, and yours is longer because you believe in afterlife ? Okay, but still no guarantee, no revelation has appeared to me.
Then, "raging against the machine, which is its fuel - you work for your enemy" (there's no such thing as a defined "enemy", like the Devil or the Idea of Evil (I was talking about Berserk in the first place lol), the world might be cold and hostile, it isn't against me neither it is with me, it is careless, indifferent): this kind of perspective about what you're calling "patience" is a very old-fashioned, Victorian way of thinking ; endure, endure the injustice, do not be zealous, preserve the established order even though it would be amoral, unjust and repressive. Because to revolt, to rebel yourself (even in the face of the most unbearable oppression, the most autocratic power, the systemic machine of a conservative, discriminatory and deeply unequal regime), is to commit the greatest of sins, it is to be in the image of Lucifer who challenged the authority of the Almighty. It is to question the arbitrariness of the secular tradition and of the society that it has forged by its regressive values.
Don't do that, don't question, don't make too much noise, just obey, and you'll surely be granted in your afterlife ; do it, and you'll taste the wine of the wrath of God.
But that's politics, and we're here to talk about religion.
Now, I will elaborate about why I'm not a believer and why I personally don't find religions trustworthy.
For technically having been a "Christian" myself (baptism, confirmation,... all that stuff) and having read some recent studies, I can tell the majority of Christianity (at least in Western Europe) do nothing more but to perpetuate the familial tradition (it was also the case in the past but differently, kind of ; it is also the case for other cults but not in the same proportion) : they put no more faith into it (or very superficially), they might go to church once or twice a year for the main religious celebrations, but these ones (despite currently being commercial to the core) are more moments that bring the whole family together than it is to celebrate or give thanks for the birth of Christ or his resurrection.
You and some others may have been blessed by the revelation of Jesus Christ's true power and love ; it's not my case, neither it is or will be for most of humanity (whether we are religious or not).
Without the reality of the Christ's love being revealed to me and knowing from my heart He is the Son of God who gave his life to save our souls, how could I possibly tell you're more legitimate than a Muslim, an Hindu, a Jew, a Buddhist, or any follower of such religion or such spirituality, who believe, like you, with all their heart, in a different entity or in the same but differently ?
Within Christianism, I couldn't even tell if you're Catholic, Lutheran, Calvinist, Anglican, Orthodox, Evangelist, Mormon, etc. (Edit: my bad, I just noticed the "King James version"); then, when it comes to know which of these variants "is" the True One...
Although you're deeply believing in your faith, you're probably just following the religion variant of your parents. How could I trust someone for him to know the one true faith, while he's just perpetuating his familial tradition ? It would be irrational and arbitrary.
From my perspective, waiting all my life for this kind of revelation to occur or not, isn't the way I want to live. I choose to follow my own path, wrongly perhaps. But there's one thing I'm sure about : religions pretend to be universal, but they're not. They never were, never will be. They are deeply rooted in a specific geographic space and a particular culture ; when they want to expand, they tend to cause a lot of death, abuse and suffering of all kinds.
Even if I love Dostoïevski, the maxim "If God is dead, anything goes" has been shown to be false : nihilism is the first step towards a truer way to exist as a ethical being because this one will do good without being threatened by damnation or granted by God after his physical death ; this one will love mankind for what it is, he/she will not love God and be caring and respectful towards its neighbor because, if he/she is not, its soul will be doomed !
I don't think religions are worthless though : there are beautiful and relevant thinkings about the world in most of them, and some are proposing good life precepts ig ; but I prefer not to restrain myself in a single frame of thoughts, with a single reading of the world : philosophy suffices to my desire for answers as to the way of living fraternally, or at least in respect and good understanding, with my fellows. The question of God doesn't interest me that much, I can do without : maybe this clock has a clockmaker (to quote Voltaire), but I don't think He got any role to play in the human existence.
And everyone is free to believe in whatever he/she wants, if you don't make other people suffer because of your beliefs. Being threatened because of your religion, is truly intolerable.
Because, whatever people could argue about it, religions are only about beliefs : even if some believers think so, there's no irrefutable proofs of the existence of God, afterlife, reincarnation, souls, or the efficiency of prayers ; neither there is that proves that one religion or its religious variant is true, and the many many others are wrong.
For my part, I really love Camus' philosophy : his agnosticist humanism ; the way he conceives the world without the formatted and agreed answers brought by the religions about our purpose (the absurdity of the human condition), plus (and it's far more important!) a way to live in such an hostile and silent world (to revolt against this lack of answers) and a way to behave in it, with our comrades of misfortune (the theme of love).
"So, I would live without the comforts of belief, but I would live with dignity and with love for my fellow human beings."
(Verse 1 of My Ethic)
@@somerandom7672 Always leave it to bible thumpers to quote the bible like its the be-all end-all of logic lmao

" The problem to chase a dream after you wake up is... it's over and gone already, to live forever in your memories, in your heart. Or maybe we're all just a dream from some immeasurable entity, a dream inside a dream. So, let's hope it never wakes, after all, we can only dream "

I think I speak for everyone when saying that such a theme is so much more fitting to what Guts wants to be rather than some hardened battle music.
This perfectly captures the quiet peaceful life he wants to have. What he needs to have. Yet it also has the familiar feeling of pain somewhere off in the distance.
Perfect description🎯

Such dark story but how many people get inspired by it. Berserk comments it's like group therapy. Glad to be here. Thank you for everything Miura sensei.
I picked up Berserk a very long time ago. I’ve been slowly waiting for every release, chapter, in a pretty much agonizing breath. May sound cringy, but it really helped me throughout several stages of my life. I just hit 20 recently and it’s been getting better in life. I’m still not where I want to be, but I’m striving to get where I want to go. I’m reading Berserk a lot; picking up things I didn’t notice before and just remembering things. Guts is definitely one of my favorite characters in manga. I love the man, and I love Miura. Took a bit out of my soul when he passed. This theme has been on repeat for the past week after my work days end and I’m just wanting to be in an easy state of mind. Life has been hard, but I gotta be thankful that I’m surviving. Appreciating myself more and more as time passes; easing myself out of the rut I’ve been in for such a long time. 10/10
same here man

I feel like everyone here found something relatable to them in Guts. You dont know how powerful your will can be. Dont give up. You dont know your limit,so why dont you fight to reach it? Maybe after a long time thinking about this you'll find that it was only the first step. Even if your soul will remain after you die, will you forgive yourself, because you never tried? No? You have no choice then. Fight to the end. Die happy.
when I die, I want to be in the same theme of this panel. lying on the wet grass, watching the rain droplets collapsing on my wounded face, I'll pass with a smile on my face knowing I fulfilled my tasks, my ambitions

The rain is our tears when Miura passed on but "He died doing what he wanted, no matter what, right? I bet he was happy..."
It's been a rough one for me. My parents split when I was 10, my biological mother was both verbally and physically abusive. I used to be a smart and happy kid no matter what, but something, and I don't know what, changed that. I'm gonna be 22 next month, and I've had so much happen to me since then. I've heard that a big piece of you as a kid will always be with you, but I don't know that it will be that way for me. Depressive episodes, possible bipolar disorder from my mother, never feeling like I've fit in anywhere, never feeling like I've formed deep connections with anybody. I don't know if that will ever change, I have horrible anxiety from my father, the same person I probably inherited my depressive issues from. I have no idea what's really wrong with me, and I don't think I ever will. I've only ever been in a relationship with one person, and it was back when I was 17 and only for about 3 months. I never think about relationships, at this point in my life it just doesn't concern me. Does it upset me somewhere deep inside? Probably, but I may have been dealing with what mental problems that certain people in my life have told me I have for so long completely unchecked that I may never be normal again. I have no idea who I am, I barely even see myself as a person. I don't think I've ever really been somebody, between my mental troubles and problems in the physical world I don't think I've ever gotten the chance to be much more than a shard of who I might be. It probably sounds confusing, so apologies if it is but I have a hard time explaining because I myself don't understand it either. That bright, happy kid I used to be scares me, because in comparison I'm some kind of monster of sorts now, an incredibly fractured person. Hell, I'm pretty sure that because of what problems I may have in my head my memory has started slipping worse and worse over the years, I can't just get that back. I will literally never be the person I used to be, for better or worse whether I want to or not. To tell whoever is reading this the truth and nothing but it, I don't know why I'm even writing this. I don't. It's so uncanny, I feel as though I have little to no presence in my own life, something I would normally think is impossible. It's scary how different I am now, having once been that innocent, shining kid, and here I am at almost 22 - a fractured, depressive, anxiety-ridden mess of what I have a hard time believing is a person. There have been times where I've seen myself as nothing more than some kind of mistake, a fluke - like I'm not supposed to exist as if I'm an accident no matter whose fault it is that I'm here writing this tonight at about 1AM after scrolling and randomly clicking on this video because this song brings me some sort of peace, maybe even some kind of hope that I will have a reason to exist one day, I'll have something to live for. Nobody in my personal life knows, but I've even attempted suicide a handful of times. It sucks, and I know it's something I probably shouldn't have tried, but seeing no reason to exist on top of whatever stress and problems come my way, I saw it as my way out and to be frank I still do. Haven't tried anything in 5 or 6 years but I've come close plenty of times, more than I could possibly count. I genuinely believe that I'm not supposed to exist, whether it be because of my lack of a will to live, or some kind of cosmic belief that I'm a mistake of the universe or something similar on a more grandiose scale. I have so much more that I could write, but I really don't even expect anyone to be reading this far into my dumb little post here. To wrap things up, on advice of my father I'm going to see a doctor soon, possibly for some kind of prescription that will help me. Maybe things will turn around for me, maybe this is where my suffering ends. Thank you to anyone who reads this, I hope I'm not simply tossing this into the void.
Nah, we hear you ☺️ you got this man
If things feel too cramped, take a break. Maybe a vacation or any healthy outlet to help you decompress. Ever thought about visiting another country?
I hope you find your purpose in life my friend, life is made of challenges. Just remember whenever there's rain there will be a rainbow in the end. Ngl Berserk is one of the reasons i keep pushing forward no story inspires me more, maybe give the manga a try perhaps you will share the same fellings as me. Keep pushing forward soldier. ❤️
we are all with you.. Go to the doctor, do the things you love.. and be well always 💜💜💜
Hope things get better my friend 🙏
introspective, melancholy, serene, haunting, otherworldly, understated, powerful, hopeful, eerie, psychedelic, healing and most of all beautiful.
this song helped me sleep the night my dad died, and that's when I realized he looked a bit like Guts. I hope he has a happy ending, he will always be my favorite character
After reading berserk I understand life is a struggle. 3 years ago to this day I was diagnosed with clinical depression. It would never go away. I knew that it wouldn't and for the first year or two I cried everyday. One day I discovered berserk, I started to understand how it was. Life is not always equal or positive, you have to trade your few happy times for many negative times. Those happy times are what you remember. While the sorrowful and depressed ones may be remembered for a year or two, only true, deep trauma will last. Many thoughts will be happy in the end, some won't be, some will be your traumas. That was the start of my self improvement journey. I'm truly thankful I found out about berserk, while it's not a therapist it helped me realize some things.
i literally listened to all 3 hours and i feel so empty inside. im currently dealing with a really toxic environment and seeing guts lie on the grass during a thunderstorm has made me realize we all struggle with internalized depression and sadness. to all berserk fans, i salute you. we are the greatest manga fans in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Gosh, do you mean toxic people around you? I'm dealing with this everyday with my family. It hurts so much when the closest people behave horribly gaslighting, manipulating, shitting on your head... I moved from them but now I'm feeling so lonely especially when I had to cut ties with my mother. I miss and love her so much, but she is a very terrible person. It was a shock to me when I realised this but I couldn't do anything but leave her.
@@darimamitypova6964 Every child eventually need to overcome their parents.
@@Heine37 true... but it's harder in Asian society, especially if you're belong to small ethnic group with conservative shamanistic views, where you should obey and worship your parents as your gods. I mean it, because even they dies they'll become guardians of your family and still affect on your life and children. They can protect or harm you. Since I have some mystical experience with spirits and foreshadowing dreams I believe in this. However, I have hope, because they are not absolute, and I can overcome them. BTW, funny(and scary), but I had experience in life when spirits of the dead haunted me. I had been pushed to Bardo (place where living beings go afterlife for 49 days) and I felt dead people and no living. However, I see and hear living I could not felt them like they were unreal. Dead tried to take me I was full of life. I was losing energy and feeling so badly, but my body was ok. I was literally dying without any sickness. I went to the sacred place for the salvation and prayed for some time and it saved me. That is one of the reason I love the manga. It resonates me how Miura showed the gap between living and dead and how dead haunted Guts at nights - I also suffered from the dead when sun disappeared. I would also advise Guts to burn juniper incense - it banishes the dead.
@@darimamitypova6964 I don't believe any of that mystical stuff. But I understand people when say they believe or experienced metaphysical things. Because since life is a state of mind, why I wouldnt accept metaphysical things as another reality or perception. I am so glad you find a connection with guts. Life is a continuous struggle. Keep struggling fellow struggler.
I really do have a love hate relationship with this song. The emotions this song brings is excruciating. It reminds me of a perfect mixture happiness, love and sadness, pain. Yet the painful and sad thoughts always tend to overshadow the good thoughts, and yet I still love it. RIP Miura.
Same, its a masterpiece

I’ve literally know nothing about this stuff, never read the manga or anything, yet this makes me feel a special way, like it holds a special place in my heart.
Maybe I should go check this thing out. Seems to me all of you really enjoyed it, maybe I will too.
Do it, you will regret only not reading it sooner.
Berserk is the best thing I've ever read that I would never recommend anyone - not to say that you shouldn't read it, but rather I can't be sure if you have what it takes to digest it. Like, A really hot Carolina Reaper pepper can be an awesome experience but I'd never recommend it to anyone. Do it at your own peril.
It’s almost a disservice to yourself NOT to read this. The manga is LONG, but it is so incredibly good. The character arcs, the suffering and ways of coping they go through, the detailed art style itself, the inspiration and motivating statements that relate to the reader, etc. you could go on forever on why it’s so good, but it’s best to just read it yourself. There’s anime adaptations but each one has a different flaw and they all skip some important scenes that are in the manga due to time constraints. My advice is to read the manga first, at least until the end of golden age arc, then watch the 1997 anime and the 3 golden age movies, then continue reading. There’s also an anime that came out in 2016 you can watch as well if you can stomach all the issues surrounding it. They even have several berserk games that are loosely tied to the story as well
oml so corny
@@0bez704 why are you here just to comment on every single comment saying their cringe? Find something better to do with your time, like maybe reading Berserk.
In a weird way, Miura passing is like... the Struggler's journey personified. His life itself was a life lesson. It's not about the end goal, it's about the journey. This man dedicated his life to his art, to this one story, more than most people will dedicate their life to ANYTHING. He created an absolute masterpiece that will live forever. Yes, it would've been great to see the end drawn by his hand. But at least we will get an idea of how he wanted things to end with the manga continuing.
I love the picture used for this video I feel like it perfectly shows that you can use this video to try and decompress and calm down
thank you, thats very sweet :)
So do I I really like the image of Guts here it seem like another world
I am grateful for everything and everyone in my life.
