fun fact: that arm isn't covered in armor, its a prosthetic. I don't remember if his arm got blown off or cut off or eaten, but its one of those things.
@@HdjsjsnBdjdsej-mh8bq "cut" isnt the right word. He hacked it off with a broken sword. I don't even think hacked is the right word. What he did was repeatedly smash the broken end of the sword into his arm until he broke enough bone to get loose. "Cut it off" doesnt accurately describe what he did at all, it was much more brutal.
I love that you pointed out that the wing’s on Griffith’s armor are unsafe because there’s a reason for that! Griffith actually wears wings on his armor because he prioritizes appearance over safety as the story goes on. He doesn’t see himself as someone who could genuinely be in danger so a lot of the time, he wears very over the top decorative armor instead of genuinely practical armor. It’s a small detail but I find it interesting
My only issue regarding Berserk Is they don't wear padded cloth under it And the body plates should be bit more concave. And Berserk Armor Is basicly magical exoskeleton
The effect is just the fact that you don't feel pain and are basically in roid rage. Armor is still perfectly protective, it's just that it allows the user to overexert themselves.
These are honestly also so helpful when it comes to learning how to draw armour, and what to avoid when you have 0 experience drawing it. He explains why and often how it is bad, which is very valuable.
I think the concept for making fantasy armoe should be the Polish winghed hussar armor. It is perfectly practical but also has some SERIOUS decorative elements (the wings) but besides being badass they also have practical function
I'd like to mention that guy's berserker armor is literally holding his body together. It numbs his pain and lets him use his body's full strength. The kind of strength that will rip muscles and break your own bones. The armor is basically a glorified truss.
Understated plus side: he gains full control over his prosthetic arm. He can actually grab things with it and fire the cannon without using the pull cord
Idk about the berserk armor being a 10/10. Not only is gut’s foes actively trying to harm him but the armor itself IS harming him though he doesn’t feel it because of its numbing effects but he knows of it.
Because most of the time the historically accurate armor *isn't* made to look cool, and I'll take impractical but stylish over practical and bland any day, thank you very much.
@@fatrat92 Nah, nothing bland about them. You have trash taste and ridiculously high standards, just accept it and move on. Or are you one of those armor fetishists who's gonna try and convince me that big, bulky suits of armor that are completely unflattering are somehow "hotter" than bikini armor? I've had a guy call me a weirdo for not finding some gaudy, glorified rose themed trash can sexy, so don't you dare come at me acting all high and mighty because you've got the benefit of practicality on your side!
REALLY hoping Griffiths wings catch some blows I'd love to see you rate guts's raider armor!! Also casca's armor, the iron chain knights, and also Bazuso!
Major thing to note about the berserker armor. If the wearer is harmed through, say, blunt trauma that leaves their arm broken the armor will use metal pins to put it back into place. This does not heal him, it simply holds him together until he dies of bloodloss
Yeah berserk armor is always super detailed and pretty damn accurate and realistic Its one thing i really love about berserk and also another reason i got into historical arms and armor as a hobby Id recommend you take a look at the series or just skimm through the art with arms and armor because there are some examples of proto sallet's in there along with other neat weapons and armor history easter eggs in there
The example of Griffith’s armour that you’re rating is his Fantasia armour, which is mostly for display as at this point he was king, and his monsters would do most of the fighting for him. His armour in the Golden Age arc is much more realistic & features more smoother edges.
Something to consider about the armors used is that they also represent the social status and wealth of the characters, so most of them dont wear plate armor because itd be too expensive to have. Also, there are several times where where someone is fighting against someone else in plate, and instead of trying to actually attack the more heavily armored opponent, grappling is used to tale them down and either kill through the eye/pit gaps or just capture them for ransom(since people in full plate can be expected to have rich families). Of course, the one exception is guts, who literally tears through plate armor like tissue paper.
Okay with this i am BEGGING you to please do Fear & Hunger 1 for the soul case of it’s the one game where the female knight is the only one dressed appropriately. Cahara’s in a dang crop top, Ragnavalder is Chest Out, and Enki stopped right out of Vogue.
Berserk is a sensible universe. Regular hawk band trooper armor is not extremely protective but it would have been cheap to mass produce for an emerging mercenary army. Keep in mind when rating armor that cost was a huge factor in history when designing armor.
Berserk definitely takes liberties with the functionality of armor but never sleeps on protectiveness. Not that it matters since Guts is gonna cut through you regardless
Can you rate the armor of the fate animes? Specifically characters like Arthur and Mordred Pendragon, yeah id live to see what you think about these animes
I kinda want you to check out all the different armour for the original band of the hawk now. Just to see how you would like them. This was back before things went super dark in the story
Fun fact about the berserker armor: it has that name for a reason, that thing completely numbs the body, making the user pain immune, if a limb is broken, it will crave spikes on it to hold in place and not slow dow the user, and in top of all that, that thing is very much alive, constantly affecting the user mind to keep fighting till your body literally break, and keeps fighting after that. The previous user was killed by it actually
Griffith doesn't get the wings on his armor until after he becomes a Godhand member, which are like demon gods. So he doesn't need the armor it's just for show.
The Berserker armour doesn't need you to hurt the wearer Its constantly eating away at it wearer Ripping their skin and flesh Inflicting lifethreatening amounts of damage just by wearing it But if we take the curse part away its prolly a pretty cool armour Bit impractical because it seems like it would hinder most of your movement
Griffith is very much the "Im the leader, so I don't need to fight" type of guy, so that's why he has fancy armor. Same reason so many nobles had wacky armor and gonzo cod pieces.
I thought you would bring up mobility of joints or necessity of some segments protection but you just said "yeah his fully covered so there's no flaws"
Fun fact: the berserker armor won't heal it's wearer but will force any broken limb back into place, not healing the wound just forcing the arm back into place, causing insufferable amounts of pain in the process.
Idk why but I feel like griffith is the type to purposely put noticeable weakness on his armor. Knowing that he could easily exploit it against his opponent.
Also the shoulder plate and better shielding on the left arm for both berserker's basic armor and the fancy armor reminds me of fencing to protect the lead hand. Kinda funny for a swinging sword style tho
That armored arm is actually just a metal prostetic so its not as well armored as it looks. It does however flip to become a cannon which is fucking awesome
Griffith's armour in that last image isn't actually there for protection at all. At this point in time, he is effectively impervious to all attacks anyways - this armour is purely aesthetic, an attempt at looking like a powerful leader (which I hate to admit but it's working. He also is, in fact, a powerful leader...)
The armor with the wings os seen as impractical even within the world of the show. It's to show that this character is more concerned with being a symbol on the battlefield than actually participating in fighting.
Fun fact: There is actually an actual historical figure named Götz of The Iron Hand who is the first knight that has the first prosthetic arm in the 1500's.
@@GreebleClown Oh believe me I know, have you read the the whole truth harness arch in the og series 😂. Either way the newer armor isn't always the same (for better or for worse) or he could rate some of the old stuff and It'd be funny

From the information i learned a few seconds ago, it kinda looks like a "spring lock suit" from FNAF
Reminder for everyone here my mans making the video hasn’t seen Berserk quit pestering him about the Berserk armor’s effects
To be fair though, it is REALLY good as normal armor. Really the thing that hurts Guts while wearing it is himself.

it also holds him together by digging shardlike spikes into his bones

He only thinks about the protection it gives and not the special effects
It is trying to "fix" Him
Yeah he mentioned that he’s not seen Berserk
Thats not correct. The armor just holds him together, the blows from his enemies and his wild way of fighting are what harms him.
@@MrAnnoyingYouBadly no, his armor literally piercing his skin causing bleeding in order to "fix" His bones
I dont know why most fantasy use bs armor when it can use historicly accurate armor that looks way cooler just like berserk did
And Griffith have mildly impractical armor is explained in the story and given a good explanation
Because most of the time the historically accurate armor *isn't* made to look cool, and I'll take impractical but stylish over practical and bland any day, thank you very much.

Was kinda hoping he'd rate Casca's armor since she's one of the few female characters in actual armor
Never thought i would see slay and Berserk in the same sentence.

The one arm of armor could act like a shield given his build.

With practicality tho
