- The TRUTH behind Guts' and Griffiths relationship.
#berserk #kentaromiura #365
In light of the recent news, that Kouji Mori will be the lead director of Berserk, I wanted to make a video talking about who he exactly is, and the relationship he had with Miura. I can just simply say that “the two were best friends”, but that will be doing a great disservice to the rich relationship the two shared over their lifetime.

While making this video, the most important Mori interview which revealed most of the content of this video has been seemingly taken down. I will try to find it again and if I do, I will upload it here immediately.

Extremely poetic that the guy who inspired griffith in some aspect now wants to carry the dream of his friend.
Wow
To be honest, it sounds backwards. Miura reminds me more of Griffith, while Mori reminds me more of Guts. So that's even better? or more interesting that way.
Miura sounds more like the 'blessed genius' while Mori seemed to have more hardship to get past.
@@bodbyss so will mori be crushed by someone else's dream?
This too must be part of the causuality's will?
@@SIGNOR-G
But in reality, it already happen. A Mori’s dream was crushed and it came in the form of Muira’s death.
Im slightly worried 😂
So you're saying Griffith gets to write his own ending.
But in seriousness he seems to be the perfect person to finish it with Miuras intention in mind. I don't know if he can be the philosopher that Miura was, but I trust your endorsement Spirit, having vouched for his ability to comment with depth on the nature of existence and humanity.
Great video as always. Your Berserk commentary has no peer.
Nope, Miura said: one day I'm Guts and Mori is Griffith, and the next day it's the other way around
I've read Holyland and Suicide Island. Always forget to check more of his work unfortunately.
What I can say, is that both of what I've read are based on growing up filled with pain and misery, being unable to care for others or yourself due to that pain and fear. However, if you ever wish to leave that misery behind, you need to let yourself be open to others, be mindful of the way you are, work on yourself and care for those around you. As that is the only way to grow up into a happier person.
Which is in a way, the journey of Guts as well, minus the apostle killing of course. So while Berserk by Miura died, I still wish to see and read Berserk by Mori.
he doesn't need to be a philosopher to finish the story, when now we know the story of Guts and Griffith is largely based off Miura and Mori's complex friendship. Mori is literally the opposing half of the story that has been told up to this point. and it's the unique dynamic in their relationship from both of their perspectives which made the story what it is. in a way I am reminded of the ending of Lord of the Rings, when Frodo passes on the red book to Sam to finish the last few chapters, as it was just as much his story to be told as it was Frodo's.
Read Holyland, it's message is very similat to Berserk! he's def got that philosopher bone.
Damn you took the words outta my fingers bruh, the philosopher that miura was will never ever return, and it could be transparant in the upcoming chapters of the manga, but we could expect a more gutsy guts than ever. The one which miura was lookin upto. Although the philosophy is one of the best in berserk.. So thats lost forever.
Kouji Mori got through so much emotional pain that you can see how much he knows about it in his mangas.
Once Berserk is finished, we can expect Miura's assistants debut with their own mangas with the same level of artwork.
Considering how long Miura trained his assistants specifically I agree
alot of his assistants already publish n work on titles aside from beserk
Miuras assistants are responsible for most of his work they get no credit lol, they should own berserk just by right
it'd be something for Berserk to be in the eye of a creative storm like that
each hand that shapes what comes of this story hunting their own dream, fighting their own struggle, it would be more than I could want.
@@SH19922x source?
Such a tragic passing of Miura, but this story is comforting that Berserk is in the best hands
not good hands, this guy gonna ruin it.
@@dagan8659 How so?
@@dagan8659elaborate please
@@dagan8659how is it now lol
@@dagan8659did u not watch the video
Miura sounds way more like Griffith and Mori like Guts.
It's pretty cool where you can see the influences on both. Take for example Guts always knowing nothing, but the sword (Miura growing up with art) and Mori wanting to go beyond what was expected from his parents (Griffith wanting his kingdom despite peasant birth status).
They both definitely shaped these figures
Yeah l personality wise for sure
Hhmmm Moji being jealous of Miura xas like Griffith hating Guts because HE found his place in the world and inner peace and sense to his life not like griffith
@@XDarkF3arX
If Griffith’s growing up as a peasant is noteworthy, remember how Guts got his name? They both have circumstances and qualities of both characters and that’s great.
Nah lol 😂🤣
Finding out that the inspiration for Griffith also led a life of recklessness and experienced a sort of death and rebirth after a motorcycle accident really strikes a chord with me. That anger, regret, and desire to do it right if you even survive is a feeling that hits you in the core. I couldn't imagine a more fit author for the job than the guy who's both brawled as Guts did and suffered in the tower as Griffith did.
It's Gotz not Guts.
Lol your an idiot. I love it brotha
@@chinafuture6484 "it's Gotz not Guts" 🤓
@@g.guerra2078 The character is based off of the real life knight Gottfried "Götz" von Berlichingen and in Japanese the name is literally spelled "Gatsu" and pronounced like Got-su."Guts" is a mistranslated obviously done for laughs, but it isn't funny, just slub. 🙄🙄
@@chinafuture6484 u got 0 game my man
After reading the 1 shot he did all of my concerns were gone I'm very hopeful and can't wait to see what will happen
read holyland and it will make u feel even better , I don’t think anyone can match miura but Holyland and Beserk are like some of my favorite “life changing manga”
Drawing is the smallest problem, berserk has a hundred characters, it would be a disaster if they would be abandoned and only the Guts vs Griffith story continues
I thought they were professional friends, not best friends. That's when my worries went away
@@johnnyhall9154 they were friends of 40+ years, since they were kids.
@@obinator9065 Honestly, it's rare to keep friends for that long. I am truly envious of that fact, but that doesn't matter, it's nice to see how it created one of the best manga ever made. I'm glad it happens.
I was so devastated when Miura passed. Berserk is a story I hold close to my heart, where it’s almost sacred to me, and the thought of it never coming to a conclusion depressed me.
But after Mori’s letter and watching this video, I realize this tragedy really adds to the beauty and majesty that is Berserk. Continuing life through loss and struggle. Friendships endure. I’m overjoyed Miura’s best friend Mori is going to finish the manga for him. Even in death, Miura is still giving back to his dear friend to keep writing and drawing manga. Everyone should have a friend like Miura or Mori.
In many ways they are more then friends, I wouldn't be surprised if they saw each other as brothers.
You sure do cry a lot when you’re alone, don’t you Casca?
It'll never be a Miura ending, but listening to this story, I don't think he ever intended for anyone else but Mori to end it. Who better than the man who inspired Griffith, to decide his fate at the hands of Guts? What divine poetry.
I don't think Miura had an ending in mind. He kinda struck me as not knowing quite what to do but setting stuff up for a general goal of having Guts become the new leader of the band of the black swordsman and taking down his best friend.
Yeah it's very poetic.
@@adtopkek4826 Yeah I think miura stated once that he was just "going with the flow" when he was writing berserk.
It makes sense why berserk is so good it's because even though it has a lot of fantasy elements it draws a lot on reality like with people's relationships and I think all great art reflects reality in some way.
Its almost scary how poetic it is that not only there are so many parallels in their lives and the manga. But mori, miura's best friend for life, now picks up where miura left off. They are truly "one" as miura said. Miura had said how he wanted mori to draw a story about their lives one day... after miura's death it was almost like a last wish for the both of them. And now just as berserk ended on this poetic chapter where griffith & guts are together one last time. Mori continues the story for his friend.
Spirit of Fiction glad you mention Kouji Mori and Kenaturo Miura friendship, Kouji Mori help Kenaturo Miura with the Berserk Chapter 86 and 87 eclipse.
How’d ya know that?
Sauce please 🙏🏾
@@misters6749 kouji said it himself
So poetic, like how Miura said sometimes he's Guts and sometimes he's Griffith. Really shows how he was aware of his surroundings, himself and his bond with Mori
(Edit: i did read the new chapters the day after writing this)
There are a few leaked pages of the new chapter floating around online, I'm glad I don't use social media anymore (I actually stopped all social media use the day the news of Miura's passing was announced) but my friends who've seen them say that the artwork is super good. Miura's assistants are phenomenal artists so I'm confident that they can continue the high quality of art, however they won't be able to replicate the mastery of Miura. I'm very grateful that Koji Mori is leading the story of the continuation, I feel that this is the best possible way for berserk to continue
Can confirm, the assistants work is absolutely incredible. Obviously impossible to replace miura but the art will not be a concern going forward
They are a day ahead
Berserk in good hands
Chapter 364 was done by his assistants and nobody even noticed and think that Miura himself finished it
@@crocopsleg3523 miura trained them personally for a reason, they are doing an amazing work from what i saw
Mori and Miura are brothers in arm, they were raised in this dull world, faced shitty issues, but still stand up against all odds as they share the same brain cells, but sadly fate always merciless to humanity.
Like the zodd fight
*IN THIS WORLD...*
@COOL daddy I think they wish the world of Berserk to be real and are looking forward to the next Eclipse. Good luck!
Its like a race as the two are competing for their own goals with each but they have their ups and downs. Miura ran like the fire of Prometheus until he can't no more before the finish line;Now it's a relay race with Mori now with the baton will run and stride with Miura over him to finish. To victory and great succces for Mori.
The fact that Mori is the only one who knows how Berserk ends and was told the entire storyline of it by Muriru again shows how much the two meant to each other.
I think we all wish to have a friendship like these two had
Especially a friendship that spans decades! Not many people can say this.
I wish I still had a friendship like that
I wish i had friend
@@trexpeliahelvetios2302 same
I have a deep friendship but there’s no rivalry
Every friendship is different
i knew about Mori being best friends of Miuras for over 40 years but i didn’t know anything other than that. I was already happy feeling hearing that Miuras best friend who was also a Mangaka would be completing berserk but after hearing all of the things in this video i could not feel even happier. this honestly feels like the best thing that could’ve happened.
Except for, y’know, Miura not dying 😛
@@thebiggestpanda1 its true hes still alive in are hearts
This some real "Stand by Me" shit. Thanks for putting it together.
So they were 2 sides of the same coin...
Sometimes I notice moments in my life where I'm more like Guts, or more like Griffith....
I thought their was something wrong with me, but I was just pushing past my suffering.
I'll keep pushing towards my goals of strength.
Struggle on, Brothers and Sisters.
Always Fight the Pain, never surrender your Life.
Dang both of them are a year younger than my dad. How come my Mexican dad didn't become a manga artist smh
I think the most poignant thing I've learned about Miura after his passing is that he's always written what he knows and I think that's why his story and characters feel so grounded.
If Mori's accident happened when he was 25, that means it would've taken place in 1991. If you look at the release schedule of berserk chapters, a few years after this accident happened and Mori would've had a chance to heal and confide about how he felt about Miura on the brink of death. And it's just crazy to think that the writing for some of the internal dialogue Griffith had during his torture and when he's hallucinating could've been attributed to your best friend confiding his jealousy of you when he thought he was going to die
And you playing Clair de Lune in the background of this just makes it that much more emotional
I'm not crying, you're crying!
This really does speak volumes of the relationship between the authors, Guts and Griffith.
What a beautiful collaboration of friendship. I will be reading on for Miura and Mori.
Isn't that the skadoodle quote from the finals when cloud9 triumphed?
I kinda relate to their relationship. I met a friend in middle school that shares the same passion as me. We used to draw together a lot at school. when I saw him draws better than me i would immediately practice hard to be able to draw better than him. I too would get jealous seeing him doing better than me. But we also encourage each other to move forward everyday.

"An idiot can only recover once they die."
What a great piece of advice.
Mori seems like a wonderful human. He also wrote another of my favorite manga, HOLYLAND. Everyone should read that to get an idea for how well done of a story this man can bring together.
Oof... With Kouji Mori alive after that and his friend dead, that must really hurt...
Gotta admit, this is a heartfelt video! I'm glad that Koji Mori can collaborate with his childhood friend Kentaro Miura from beyond the grave. And thank *YOU* for laying bare the influence of their friendship on their respective mangas. It's quite inspirational! 👏
Once George R.R. Martin was asked if any of the characters in the Game of Thrones series was supposed to depict him and he said something along the lines of, every character is a version of himself. People often write what they've lived.
The more I heard about their friendship, the more faith I in Berserk continuing. The letter about it was really heartwarming and amazing how much respect there was for Miura. I love Holyland and Suicide Island, I have no doubt that Berserk is in the best hands possible.
This reminds me of Yuu and Shougo’s relationship too! It’s crazy 🤝
Damn. That feels like it would be really emotionally challenging to do. Finishing the story your best friend wrote about your rivalry. But he's the only person for the job.
Thank you for making this...
"Unless an Idiot dies, he cannot be saved"
That really spoke to me.
I never thought i would cry for a stranger death outside of a sad movie, but Miura got me hard, Berserk is a jewel of humanity and must be protected at all costs.
"In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of god hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control, even over his own will"
I for one see it as no coincidence that true creators of art become the art they create.
It is beautiful that Mori will continue Miura's work.
Damn.....it just occurred to me how much this story relates others besides me. I guess all of us have a friend that is like Guts, Griffith, or both. And sometimes we're both as well.
That hits in a such a weird way
Don't worry you are the main character if your life was a movie
So, its his brother from a another mother. There is no other person who i trust more to continue the story now. Rip Miura, Good luck Mori.
Great video man! Seeing a closer look into both of these mangakas lives is so interesting. I’m really excited to see how Mori treats the rest of Berserk now
When it was first announced Mori would be in charge of finishing Berserk I didn't think much about it; I thought, it makes sense, they were close friends after all.
With a bit more context now, having Mori's story as well in my mind; I'm glad he's the one doing it and I can't wait to read what's to come.
Miura and Mori’s friendship honestly sounds like something straight out of fiction. It could honestly get a movie or documentary.
This was a beautiful retelling of their brotherhood and friendship. Thank you for sharing.
To have a friend like that is amazing. Makes berserk an even greater story of brotherhood
This video is fantastic! I actually did some research at the time of hearing about Kouji Mori honoring Miura's legacy and even reading the manga Mori did for Miura and this video sums it all up perfectly! Keep up the fantastic work man
What an ending you put in here. I couldn't help but cry. Yuu's feelings when he was about to jump hit me so hard since I have similar experiences. You want to end it all and then you wake up and realize what you are doing. To think that Mori has been there as well... And now he is doing his old friend a favor to bring Berserk's journey to end. I have no words anymore. I'll support him until the very end.
12:58 that has to be some of the monologue from chapter 14, bonfire of dreams. Probably the parts about fighting.
Not sure what chapter but i think he was embarrassed that he said "Do I need a reason every time i put myself in harm's way for you." I think Mori might've defended Miura from bullies or fights and when asked about it, Mori said that
I'm glad that Mori is honoring his friend by helping to complete his Magnusm Opus. I didn't know much about Mori before this video or just how deep their friendship was.
The part about his motorcycle accident brought me to tears as it's an experience that I similarly have been through almost to the exact situation
As a Berserk fan, yeah, I can completely agree with you saying that this story changes the way one can see the relationship between Guts and Griffith.
I was really excited to hear that Berserk is continuing but after hearing this I'm over the moon!
Thank you for making this. I would've ever known about this. Great video. 👍
Thank you for this video! It really hit me deeply and my love for Miura and his friend only grows deeper. RIP Miura 💖
Thank you for this. An excellent video.
Such an honourable friendship they shared. I believe Kentaro's legacy couldn't be in safer hands.
I think I’m started to understand that manga creators expressed feelings and situations they’ve been through and want you to feel comforted and grow from it
Bruh that moment when griffith gets to write the ending.
If Berserk goes weekly instead of Monthly, sometimes, and often delayed months to years. It can be completed fairly quickly. Because It seems it ended right before the finale arc.
berserk? weekly? 😂😂thats a good one
Artist here! I think monthly will be the standard, drawing such artstyle takes time, even with assistants... :( so yeah
We have four more chapters of the elf island and then the final arc
@@Greg12839 Well next chapter is already coming out on july 8, so close to the one we just got.
@@FuzzyDlop noice🔥,i meant more in the line that berserk's art is too detailed and time consuming for it to be a weekly series
This video is still so relevant, thanks for putting this together and putting it out into the world!!
Beautiful storytelling. Just listening to the lives of these two Men makes me respect them so much more
Thank you for making this video. Your telling of Mori and Miura's relationship brought me to tears. You have a wonderful talent for telling human stories.
Great insight! Thanks for sharing my rendition of Guts Theme!!
This is such a good and informative video, well done!
I love how well made this video is and how it really shows the beauty of this story. Amazing job, man!
Incredible video man. Thanks for making this.
Great video brother!
Thank you for telling this story! 🙏🏽
felt this video and epic narration. thanks for highlighting the history and their pasts that influence the work and characters they create. really looking forward to revisiting both of their Mangas and anticipating the rest of berserk. glad to know it just isn't a random picking it up.
This I feel is Mori giving the biggest thank you to his best friend, almost brother like figure, for what he did and represented in his life.
Great Video!! You've really done justice at portraying their friendship through time!
Thank you so much for your video.
After i heard about mori and his relationship with miura i immediately read holyland and loved it. Currently reading suicide island.
Tbh this development with berserk being finished by miuras best friend and sometimes rival is itself so poetic that it seems to be like the most appropriate thing to happen
Great video! In my opinion its beautiful to see he will finish of this masterpiece. Its perfect!
This was something I really needed to see. Thank you for sharing this story.
Don't forget mori has created holyland one of the best Mangas ever! :D
Great video. Its good to know more about Mori and his life before the continuation of berserk
I normally don’t post comments but I had to here. Thank you so much for sharing this story! A truly beautiful, touching story of friendship and dedication. One chapter ends and another begins… Stay lovely y’all!
Beautiful video, I’m glad Mori can help Miura finish this saga
Thank you for making this my dude
Thank you for the video!
Thats really interesting considering issue #364 ends with the arrival of griffith to elfhelm. Its like griffiths arrival coincides with the man who inspired him.
I was skeptical and I am still numb and in shock to this day with Miura's passing, still grieving over his loss. But upon watching this video, all of that just came to an end, as of about 15 seconds ago. As one who is also writing and illustrating their own manga, this was beautiful. That line resonated with me: "If you can't write a story based on your own life, then you can't write a good manga." Thank you for making this
I cried alittle at the end there. Thank you.
I LOVE the way you tell the story. It is be calm and informative.
Thank You.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this story. I had no idea who Mori was other than that he somehow worked alongside Miura. I felt personally impacted by the story of their friendship. I myself have wanted to make comics, but in recent years I've only been working (manual labor stuff), and creatively I am in a dark place. Mori's story gives me some hope that I can get out of this slump . . .
Straight up crying at work because of this video. Great video
Damn. This hit deep. I mean it’s like their graphic novels say so much about them and what they been through and much more else.
It’s beautiful really.
I can see full well why Miura and Mori stayed best friends for so long and how they helped each other out so much.
This is really something so uplifting and enlightening.
Thank you Kentaro Miura and thank you Kouji Mori and thank you Spirit of Fiction.
I always get the feels train with Berserk content which is why it is truly glorious :)
didn't know I needed to hear this, thanks for sharing it.
this is really touching story, thank you for making this video :)
Beautiful said! Berserk continuing in the current circumstances is deeply important to those working on. It's a bit more than just seeing the end. It's about finding closure.
This was pretty.
Thank you for the video.
Glad that it's going to be continued by his friend.
I already wrote it somewhere but it is another testament of full life Miura have lived - not only he touched many people with his stories, inspired many other artists, inspired people who found some echoes of their own lifes in story of Berserk and Guts struggle, but also he left a friend, a person who's life he affected same as he affected his, and in the end person that will be able to deliver his full work and completing it. Truly a mark of a remarkable life and career.
wow I can't believe this is the legacy behind Mori. This... has a lot of hope behind it. We miss you Miura. We are praying for you Mori!
Nice video. Very informative. Thanks a lot for this. Miura was a man of mystery, so I didn't know much of this, only that he based Guts and Griffith on parallels between he and a friend (which is now clear to be Kouji Mori).
Yo man i just wanna say your dedication to make videos is admirable, i love the vibes of your videoa
Now i fell even more confident that Berserk will maintain the quality, thank you so much. ❤️
What an outstanding story i loved it, im definitely gonna read "Suicide Island" and "Holyland".
amazing story ,, bruh this story hits deep in the soul, appreciate ya
Wow. Great video! Thank you.
Great video!
Their friendship is actually really beautiful and I don't what else to describe it as other than just very human
This is a great video, subbed
This is a great video man :)
Amazing video. All i can say is thank you. I subscribed and liked.
Thanks for the video
