Griffith: "A man who would be my friend must have his own reason to live."
Guts: (does)
Griffith: "REEEEEEEE"
Pretty much talking out of his ass at that scene. Griffith is gifted in almost all calculating talents, whether it's persuasion, tactical acumen, Sabre dueling, and definitely deception. He is, above all, a gifted liar and manipulator. What peeved him here was that not only did his deceiving bite him in the ass, not only was he losing a valued Rook (or maybe Guts is a Bishop, not a pawn though), but even losing the only person he really did consider his only true friend. Because in the lost of people Griffith has deceived, he forgets that he too is on that list.
Fun fact: Griffith's VA would often break into song, because his actual job at the time was singer.
Oh that's why Griffith sang in the Berserk outtakes
What's Griffiths VA?
Griffith deserves at least two Chaotic Evil dings for raping Casca and forcing Guts to watch. You could argue that Griffith is now Femto and therefore a different character, but personally I don’t see much difference between them.
While Griffith did lose any potential good or non evil in him after the eclipse. He actively chose to make that choice, it should still be counted towards his morality
Personally I count that as Griffith as well although after the Eclipse I do seperate the two mentally. Similar to how Anakin is technically Vader by the time he commits mass abortion outside the womb but I still view it as an Anakin action.
4, both betrayed and murdered the Band of the Hawk.
I mean, I could just refer to his Redo of Healer alignment video, he kinda has a track record for severely undercutting evil actions of *that* sort especially if he enjoys a particular character
@@Mrryn Idk if redo is the best example since the entirety of that dudes existence was devoted to revenge for what was done to him while Griffith did what he did to spite Guts.
Pity that you didn't count the part where the God Hand is trying to separate Griffith from the rest of the Band, by making a gigantic hand, and when Guts starts to fall, Griffith actually grabs his hand in order to help him. While he was resentful of Guts for leaving the group, for being indirectly responsible for his torture and his relationship with Casca, Griffith attempted to save him with no hesitation whatsoever.
Sad that this was his last genuine kind act.
Everything Griffith does makes absolute sense from his perspective and given his established motivations. That's how you write a good villain. Nat 20 character.
"This isn't your average E-begging, this is ADVANCED E-begging"
Favorite quote so far
Griffith is a complicated character. He was ambitious, and ruthlessly so, but was also willing and able to bring others up with him on his path to kingship. And he would have succeeded if he had just respected Guts' autonomy. In the end he valued the Swordsman more as a tool than a person, and losing control of his key asset tipped him over the edge.
Of course this is all in line with the themes of the story. Was Griffith's fall the inevitable pull of destiny, or did the machinations of higher beings push him to it? Could he have defied his fate, or only delay it? Even if he had kept his head and stuck to his plan, would the King of Midland's jealousy overcome his gratitude to Griffith in time?
Our deuteragonist is the other side of the coin from Guts (yes I consider Griffith as Berserk's secondary protagonist). Guts struggles against destiny and succeeds against overwhelming odds through willpower, dumb luck, and ridiculous durability. Griffith had the same willpower, luck, and a charisma to match Gut's prowess, but was unable to overcome his tragic fate and gave into the will of other actors (the Godhand).
This story is a masterpiece, and while I'm glad that it is continuing I also morn the loss of Miura and his vision for this story's conclusion.
@@morgothable In the middle of Golden Age he did value him as a friend as it was Guts that pulled him off the course of destiny but after the eclipse he's so incredibly evil that the only reason he has emotion at all is due to the fact he forced himself upon a pregnant Casca and tied himself to the moonlight boy.
@@morgothable It wouldn't really change the point; in the moments leading up to Griffith meeting the Idea of Evil, he remembered his time with Guts in a seemingly positive light before deciding all those experiences were merely making him forget about his dream. His ambition trumped all. He already attempted to force himself upon Casca back at the camp before the eclipse.
At the Hill of Swords he expresses that he had only come to make sure his humanity/feelings were all gone; to which he states: "I'm free." (of humanity)
I think Femto and Griffith are one in the same as beings. Being an apostle doesn't make someone evil, it simply provides them with the power and they do the rest themselves.
I would like to also mention that the act of forcing yourself upon someone isn't an indicator of evil; Guts literally forced himself upon and sexually assaulted a mentally regressed Casca twice. It's more to do with your intention, guilt and if you make amends for your negative actions.
@@onlystamina5932 true, new Band of Hawk guys are apostoles and they're even... noble about it. Becoming a demon doesn't take anything away from the person but their soul. Literally soul i mean.
I think his actions during the eclipse deserve more than one Evil ding, given that his treachery is one thing, and his violation of Casca is another entirely.
also the sheer NUMBER of soldiers and friends he sacrificed for his own dream.
I thought the "true evil" ding was exactly that. An allignment shift so extreme that he instantly becomes something more then lawful, neutral, or chaotic but TRUE evil
I love Griffith as a character and have always thought of the God Hands, not as Unavoidable Destiny but just as a turning point on the path that he has chosen. Griffith because of his talent and ambition has always been willing to do anything to achieve his dream, but dreams of that magnitude cannot be shared and thus Griffith must decide what he is willing to do and lose. His ideal friend is impossible to have because he desires everything, yet demands an equal as anyone below him is simply another servant, a vassal. And just like any other humans, no matter how talented or charismatic you are, you will make mistakes and Griffith bedded the princess out of frustration and anger, not love. To choose power and control over love and friendship, to make manipulative relationships instead of meaningful ones, Griffith is bound to make the same mistakes and will probably ruin himself whether Guts actually left the Band of the Hawks or not. It is just that Guts's dream of self-realization speeds that process up to 11.
I love Griffith as a character too! But only because of how well written he is...not for his false virtue or care. He needs to go
@@morgothable I always interpreted that line to Charlotte as more of a boisterous line or a flex to impress, and Guts took what he said seriously when it was just a smooth line to a baddie
@@morgothable he saved Guts loosing his ranks ONLY because they weren't as useful. As was shown Guts was capable of murdering 100 men ALONE, so this was less of a loose actually, if he lost Guts it'd be equal to way more people than he lost against Zodd lol. He never was his friend, he was emotional only bc he was always in control so having something UNDER it made him loose his mind as he never lost anything before, so to this perfect in everything guy it was "wtf i am perfect! how dare he leave me, this mere tool? oh, he's actually defeated me... how can it be? i am so perfect, i could never loose!". It hurt his ego. Nothing more
Personally I’ve always been of the opinion that the Griffith we meet at the beginning of the story and the one we see after a year of being brutally tortured and worn-down by demonic voices are essentially two different people.
That kind of trauma is easily enough to flat-out BREAK a man. Not only that, but in Casca’s flashback to a younger Griffith we see him literally tearing himself apart because he cares so much about his soldiers that he would always prefer to sacrifice himself... Then, during the Eclipse, he does the exact opposite.
To me, that represents such a fundamental shift in his core motivation that he might as well almost not count as the same man anymore.
Spoilers for more current chapters
It's it effectively confirmed that that is the case as Femto(?) And the moon child are both Griffin. Or did I miss read it. Because the way I understand the story the black and white Hawks could very well have nothing to do with gust but just be Griffiths to personalities Waring for control.
@@mobbofmobs8937spoilers:
the moonlight child is the demon child aka The baby casca gave birth to. It is implied that since moonlight is guts child that he will always struggle against griffith in order to see his mother casca again. Hence, why at night griffith becomes moonlight. This also explains why griffith takes casca.
However this also still causes problems for griffith, Due to moonlight still seemingly being able to influence him meaning Casca shouldn't actually be in any danger because moonlight will just force griffith to protect her
Yeah but it's still him in a way. It's hard to say that it's a different soul entirely, mostly because we havn't seen one body hold more than one soul at a time. I get what you are saying. But for instance the demon child could very well represent Griffin's personally as it was shattered, then when femto was reborn into the world causing the demon child to be "healed " in some way becoming the moon child. So until we get a reason why gust,s child would attract it's soul to Griffin or vice versa and how that is even possible, I am going to assume that they are two fragments of the same person.
@@mobbofmobs8937 Moonlight became apart of griffith when griffith got a body again because moonlights body was used to give griffith a form. So technically it's moonlights body that griffiths soul attached itself to. Least this is how I remember it. Because, This is actually the reason that griffith protected casca back when him and guts fought on sword Hill because the soul of moonlight forced him To. This also means casca while taken shouldn't actually be in any danger.
@@thenobody7509 that still sounds like you are saying the moon child is a separate entity. but we have seen demonic possession before with the solders of the demon emperor. as far as I can tell none of them displayed any of the traits you just described. gust and Casca haven't shown any magic bloodline trats to pass on and there is no reason why griffin would have to suffer such side effects, but a minor demon wouldn't.
In the Manga we also hear Griffiths thougts when he is in captivity and maybe hallucinating (even though it is more likely a vision from the Godhand) and also during the eclipse. But it is indeed rare to jear his thoughts and his fight with Guts is the first time.
"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." -Mark Carrigan
You do know that it was Harvey dent said that quote in dark knight, right? Not mark Carrigan, whoever that is?
You’ve stopped right before Griffith’s 10 dings worth true evil act.
It's implied causality would always have Griffith call the eclipse, but I always wonder how it would have played out if he never had the "you can't be my friend" speech with the princess.
I feel like if guts didn't leave then perhaps if griffith still did what he did with the princess guts would have most likely saved him before his body was reduced to basically a corpse. Meaning, in theory griffith wouldn't use the balet
From my understanding, and to put this into D&D terms, Griffith's bond before the three years with Guts is "I will have my own kingdom." However during those three years, Griffith's bond changes to protecting Guts, forgetting his prior dream.
There are a few things I think you missed, for one his thing with Charlotte, there are a few parts that imply that scene to have very dubious consent, as well as the fact that Charlotte is fairly young. An evil ding for that.
There's the fact that he directly risks peoples lives to save guts and casca, not because their friends, but more as he sees them as possessions, and is willing to let others die to keep them.
Griffith is not only not horrified by the death of the child guts accidentally kills, he uses it to his advantage. Definite evil.
His thing with flirting with Charlotte was also policatlly motivated, being part of his plan to gets his kingdom, he has no real feelings for her. Basically every seen with her is Lawful neutral if not Lawful evil.
I love the out-takes from the anime, they are just so goofy and fun.
Griffith’s command for guts to not get near him moments before the eclipse is really open to interpretation. If he wanted to keep Guts away from the eclipse it’s a good action. If however he just expressed hatred and bitterness towards guts it’s between neutral and neutral evil. The intent which is not revealed to us is critical for its comprehension
I think he was actually afraid of not being able to keep his will of killing himself if Guts got too close at that moment. And that would led to the rest of his life stuck in a bed unable to achieve his dream
Man, Griffith's voice actor is a good singer.
You forgot one scene. The *other* true evil scene. You know what it is. The last thing Guts' right eye ever saw.
Im convinced the bath episode was a power play. Guts took it as friendly banter but Griffith was making his attraction known. We also hear Griffith's inner thoughts while he is in prison
One day, i was thinking about berserk. During that scene when Grffith and Charlotte are together she described Griffith as 3 things: a philospher, a tactician, and a child. Those are really accurate descriptors. Now im just a casual berserk fan. I havent read the manga because i thought the animes would do the story justice or cover more than what i saw in the 90s one but i dont see Charlotte as a smart character or tactical genius but she doesnt seem so brain dead that i could just tell her anything and she'll go along with it. The thing is she's known Griffith for what a few weeks. The reader or viewer has know Griffith for way longer than she has yet those descriptors are perfectly in sync with our experiences. So this just gives me one conclusion, Griffith is only about 20%-30% genuine. Half of that percent is with Guts. The other half is split between Charlotte and Casca(Casca because of the prostitute thing and Charlotte because he has to at least share something personal to be as charming as possible).
16:37 From everything I've heard about this character, seeing a genuine dorky smile is hard to reconcile. I may have to get into this story some day. In controlled bursts.
the bath scene with him saying his dreams, I'd say was Neutral Good personally... and yes, killing pedofiles is always good, but that one specifically was one that hurt him so there was a lot of personal stuff to it, so also Neutral Good if you ask me... doesn't change the end alignment overall, but two dings I would change slightly
I can't friggin believe that griffith and guts had to fight Doctor Eggman.
13:25, I agree that is an excellent scene, but this is, in my opinion, chaotic evil. I haven’t seen the anime, but in the manga Charlotte says no to Griffith multiple times and he goes along with it anyway. I don’t care how much she romanticizes it later, this is sexual assault. It also shows so much about Griffith’s character to me that in a moment of personal weakness (being unable to stop Guts from leaving) Griffith’s immediate reaction is to try and assert control over someone who he knows is physically weaker and who he has been able to control in the past. This video is your opinion, and I respect that, but I can not look at Griffith exploiting and raping a woman as neutral.
I'd argue that the second he commits The Eclipse Ritual that it would cause a Paradigm Shift to Chaotic Evil. Because thats the point where Griffith abandons both his humanity and any morals he may have had. Post Eclips Griffith is effectivly no longer the same character as Pre-Eclips Griffith.
I'm against him being chaotic evil purely because he then becomes (although he always was) part of the hand that governs destiny itself. His goals and actions work together with the laws of the universe that dictates what has to be. That's not chaos, that's law. So he's lawful evil.
@@yuuta6563 Oh yeah, that's right. The God Hand do represent "The Will of Man's Desiers" don't they? So yeah, I guess Lawful Evil would fit best since the Berserk Universe is f-ed up enough to have an evil god in charge of it.
I'd say that becoming an Apostle/Godhand doesn't effect the chaos/law axis, since the whole point is the whole "do what thou will" thing.
Plus a huge part of how the Godhand convinced Griffith to sacrifice the Hawks was by using sunk cost fallacy style arguments.
Plus, from what we see of Griffith after his return, he definitely seems to still have a code of conduct of some sort, he's a bringer of order in a world of chaos(sure a lot of that chaos can be traced back to him, but I think orchestrating a crisis to justify gaining power is just evil)
I really need to read this manga. Sucks that I don't have the time. Thanks for an interesting and thought provoking vid guys 😄
A scene that to me shows Griffith cares about Guts is that in the Eclipse, before he is transformed, he tries to save Guts who's about to fall into the void, despite this probably causing him immense physical pain. His bones are brittle and his shoulders were probably in and out of their sockets half a dozen time.
Great video. Look forward to the follow ups. I always interpreted Griffith's descent after his loss as basically the first time he's ever "lost" at anything. He's always shown gaining the upperhand, so the first time where he genuinely loses, he has no clue how to process it.
I'd also love to see you tackle Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Lots of great scenes.
Dumbest thing I ever said to a girl?
Pretty nurse: you broke your shoulder and three ribs making that jump
Me in hospital bed: and I'd do it again for you babe
Personally I don't think alignment shifts are just actions taken, but also the motivation behind those actions. Assassinating someone because you don't want them to gain too much power, fame, and overall jealousy is evil. However, assassinating someone who has threatened your life before and your just killing them before they get to you in my opinion is more Neutral or LN because it's more like self defense at that point. Just my thoughts.
Man, imagine if the dude just...didnt lie to himself about Guts not being his friend (I mean...come on...we all know Guts is his friend..or at least was...even if he wont admit it) or...just...found someone else to sleep with after losing control...
All of that shit could have been avoided XD
Doubtful. he was breaking, his own worldview shattered. a friend to Griffith is someone who's his equal, and while I doubt Griffith had delusions of invincibility, the idea that someone who was NOT his equal could defeat him in in such a resounding, quick, unquestionable way, was pretty much a slap directly to his own philosophy. even if he didn't bed the princess, he was going to spiral down sooner or later.
That Griffith song at the end was fire xD
🎵”So put yo grasses on, nothing will be wrong.”🎵
I would say he is lawful evil and then femto is chaotic evil, but his perception of law, fairness and justice is that great extraordinary people like him deserve to lead, no matter how many people have to die to acheive his ambitions
Picking up on the prompt given to us by Stuart @ 17:12, I went to a yard sale not to long ago. I saw this one girl who was of course, selling some neat stuff (one off those things being a really nice pool table for $75). I rolled some charisma checks against to get her number and failed miserably. Then I tried to haggle the price of the pool table down. She said no. I then said the following: play me in a game of pool, I win, you give me your number and drop the price down to a reasonable amount. I lose, I'll pay full price for what it was actually worth. The girl's brother was watching this all happen & surprisingly ok'ed this. Side note I had no knowledge of the rules of pool and was just bs'ing my way through it. To the surprise of everybody, I won. I now own a pool table at half price and have the girl's number.
I would argue he is still Lawful Neutral, the entire way through the Golden Age, defining Lawful as "Strict to one's Code of Conduct" while Chaotic as "Having no Code of Conduct." As twisted as he becomes, he still works within his own rules. He cares for those close to him, and views un-useful people as stones to walk across. There are no shades between those two kinds of people in his World. Guts eventually becomes so central to his life that literally everyone else is counted as useless to him. Is him forcing himself on Casca evil? Standard Morality, yes. But to Griffith- well to that I ask another question to you. "Do you consider it an Evil Act to swat a fly?" If you answer Yes, I think I've got a brochure to a monastery you can join. If you answer no, then you know why to Griffith, there is no Evil in his actions, and since all his actions are according to his own ruleset, it makes them, in turn 'Lawful.' Not good Mind you, but Lawful. And as everything he does is to benefit himself, He's not fitting into my definition of Good as "Does things for the benefit of others with no thought to one's own reward or detriment" and evil as "Doing things to harm others, with no thought to one's own Reward or Detriment." Instead he's Neutral "Does things according with no thought to others, but only to one's own reward and detriment." AS such, none of his actions are, to me, good or evil, as he does both good and evil strictly for his own profit.
10:58 glad we can all agree on this exception for murder
I like to think that Griffith would sing the SnM song inside his head in canon.
Why is this video necesary? He is Lawful Good obviously, after all he did nothing wrong.
Inb4 the inevitable "I hope this is a joke" comment
Griffith is lawful nothing wrong
Absolutely. He is simply doing a little trolling
Your singing was top tier
Im not entirely sure what the justification for Griffith being lawful is but to me he seems most like a true neutral at the beginning having traits of recklessness at times a displeasure for authority seeks his own freedoms is flexible and adaptable, he has no personal code just a goal. He has both traits of lawful and chaotic and far more fits the neutral good or chaotic good rather than the lawful good or lawful neutral.
He wasn't talking shit with Charlotte. He genuinely believed what he was saying and Guts was the first person he'd ever met who made him question those beliefs. Even the very night he was opening up to Charlotte, you can tell it was bothering him what he was putting Guts up to
Both Guts and Griffith came from nothing. Griffith needed a dream to get him where he wanted- guts only needed to swing his sword. A skilled man who could serve Griffith, but didn't need him to find purpose in life. It was an enigma to Griffith and a big reason why he ended up trusting and caring for guts in the way that he did
“There are no Lawful Good Politicians”
Kazuya Souma (being ironically almost 100% lawful good): I agree which is why i must plan everything down to the letter, establish the default decentralization mechanic for when when i die and carefully check and weigh every authoritarian action i take for the betterment of the kingdom and international relations to measure its benefit vs damage and be willing to take criticism and to risk my own life in the process of negotiations so that my kingdom knows i am behind them
Before watching this, my guess is going to be True Neutral.
He does what he wants but always towards his own goal rather than on a whim. He follows the law if it allows him to be perceived well in the kingdom but is willing to break the law and act spontaneously if it benefits him. He isn’t good although he does some good. He isn’t evil, at least not before the eclipse but he does some evil things for his benefit and SOMETIMES to hurt others he feels has betrayed him.
I never tire of your politician slamming.
The thing is, we don't really choose who we love. I think, on a logical level, Griffith was being honest with Charllote, but he just could not avoid caring deeply about Guts, even if he didn't fit his logical idea of a friend
I'd go with Chaotic neutral, he isn't evil nor good his actions are more like that akin to doing whatever he needs to good or bad but in the way he does it can be influncened from very good to very bad and, when gets left the band of the halks, went and ruin his own plans out of a need to control, so chaotic
Truly the moment Griffith became Femtoberg.
I'm sure nothing bad will happen
Famous last words
The world of Berserk is world where demon looks under their bed just to be sure there is no human under it
Last vid got me interested, this one's sold me on the story; thank you.
Rise of the rune lords I love that campaign.
To sacrifice someone. It must be like sacrificing a part of yourself.
So based on the last two dings it appears I was mostly in line with your thinking, being totaled at True Neutral leaning more towards Neutral Evil than Neutral Good. He is willing to do good things for his goal (kindness to Charlotte) neutral things for his goal (most of what he does) evil things for his goals (killing the queen) good things that hurt his goal (risking life to save Guts) neutral things that hurt his goal (sleeping with Charlotte) although I can’t recall any moment where he does something evil that also hurts his goal as that would require both malice and spontaneity.
Pre Eclipse I would peg him as True Neutral and after sacrificing the Band but before raping Casca he would be at True Neutral but closer to Neutral Evil than Neutral Good.
As someone who’s working through the manga rn i read Griffith as a deeply complex character - he is a psychopath in some ways - but i also think he genuinely loves guts. Like in a near literal romantic way. Theres just a lot of homo-erotic subtext between the two. Plus the whole golden age arc is a love triangle of sorts. Its why he does *that* to Cassaca. He’s a spurned lover, a shattered shell; operating on pure spite. Its both brilliant and disturbing at the same time.
He's obsessed with guts, certainly
I 100% agree that he was just talking out of his ass and that he didn't really mean what he said about friends.
Looking forward to in a year or a few for the next one lol
If you're still looking for suggestions, one character I would be interested to see your take on their alignment would be Taylor Hebert/Skitter from Worm.
Woo! New alignment video!
Magnificent work. Marvelous video.
would say griffith's betrayal likely should've been moved a dings further towards evil given the series of evil he did in just one relatively short period most likely would've been i think chaotic or neutral evil given how big a betrayal the types of evil involved like maybe ended up in the middle zone of one of the evils probably neutral or chaotic i would assume
Wait, Griffith did something wrong?
17:15 In 8th grade I somehow ended up using scissors to cut my eyebrows to impress a girl. Didn't take them all the way off but still messed them up for a while.
"There are no good politicians".
There is only one I can think of that's actually good.
It is so sad we will never see the end of this story unless someone else is given the privilege of finishing it but I don't know who could do it.
But as sad as it is not getting a conclusion we were incredibly lucky for what we got.
... You do know that it's still ongoing,right?
This is a bruh moment
'when the series gets finished...'
"Who is loved or despised"
You don't love and despise him?
Griffith, man, what a guy. I like him for being so complicated, but I hate it when people excuse his evil, saying he did nothing wrong.
Please, read Berserk. It’s the best way to experience it. At least imo
Pre-watch estimation- lawful evil
Demons!
Requesting the Kirby trio, Gunvolt, and Copen.
Small nitpick. Bazuso was not Griffith's man he was a knight in the castle while Griffith was hired mercenary to help the lord of the castle to run away.
I've been waiting for this one
The True Evil ding was amazing, though it should've just threw him straight off the scale in evil. The Eclipse is just... Too much for the scale.
It's all ya fault Jaffar
@@DripAlucardMaybe if you throw a parade every once in a while.
Also, Thanos should have gotten a True Evil for the snap.
RUclips decided to dredge this old piece up on me, so I'll add my two cents: I'd personally argue that good and evil are more about motivation than actions, so Griffith caring about his men and taking care of them isn't necessarily a good act. He's got one goal in life, and that's getting knighthood, and eventually his own castle. The Band of the Hawk is something he needs to achieve that goal, and him jumping to the call to engage in the dirtiest of politics with no guilt isn't something out of the blue, which strongly colors his previous actions.
Basically: Guts is the first person that Griffith saw as more than just a tool, and him not knowing how to deal with those emotions led to his downfall. So him keeping the Band of the Hawk alive is no more evil or good than a blacksmith maintaining his smithy, or an executioner executing the condemned. Now, if Griffith was more willing to engage with his men as equals instead of keeping everyone at arm's reach, he would qualify for the Good ticks, just like him not treating his men as completely expendable doesn't qualify him for evil ticks. Similarly, just because Gennon was an evil man, doesn't make Griffith killing him anything other than an act of revenge, or outright murder since the crusty old pedophile was so thoroughly defeated already.
He would’ve been lawful neutral and then that needle dips all the way down like a good comparison would be a game called jade empire where you can be the most holy man on earth but the moment you meet the dragon goddess and strike her down you become unredeemable and the needle drops all the way down to evil lol
Silco's alignment. We need it. Characters from The Dragon Prince on Netflix. We need them.
hey mr loading crew do you think someday you could do Gon ? i think it would be really interesting
Literally, explained as much Halo lore as possible when I matched with a girl on Tinder to try and impress her because she liked Halo in her bio. I did not get a response back needless to say.
Ok this and the Guts video were great, but where are the part 2s?
Griffith is chaotic yolo
Lawful Evil the entire way through.
You also see his thoughts in the lost chapter too.
Occasionally Lawful, but basically just Neutral Evil from start to finish. Literally never truly good, as his motivations are entirely self-centred, even when it seems like he's going out of his way to help someone.
Golden Age Arch, N.
After that NE.
After watching this imma watch it
Just loaded this up, Griffith is obviously neutral evil though, right? Evil alignments get a bad rap, you don't have to be a cartoonishly evil serial killer to play an evil character. Evil characters can just be selfish, cold, or indifferent to suffering. Griffith is obviously evil from the begining. He's kind and loyal to his friends etc., but his motivations are completely selfish and he's utterly indifferent to the suffering of "the common man". Griffith worships excelence and stoic virtue, he doesn't care about "goodness". Evil characters just have a value system that isn't aligned towards "goodness" or altruism.
Yeah, Nothing Bad will happen. What Could go Wrong, Right?
What about the flashback where Griffith gives the sword to the young Casca
hmmm this before i watch this fully, but i believe he is probably neutral evil. He is very complicated and intersting at the same time.
I like Frieza more than Griffith, but can't deny it, He's an awesome villain and, as a lot of stuff in Berserk, he's perfect in the most disgusting way!
To be blunt, I think Griffith journey is the one of a narcissic pervert :
Guts was is "friend", whether he like it or not, but a friend must still be under his thumb. Griffith wants to control everything and everyone above all. So when Guts decided to leave, it was the first time something went out of his control.
That's why he try to regain control with Charlotte like you said (that's also why the sex scene is not tender or gentle, it's controling, Charlotte is a tool, not a person).
What's great is when he is retreive at the end, he litteraly dream of his life if he chose to just retire and not persue his dream: he could've had Casca as his wife, Guts as a good friend and just be happy but he just through everything in his quest for power.
