  Rest In Peace, Kentaro Miura. An absolute legend whose storytelling transcends and will continue to transcend forever. It’s impossible to put into words how much he touched my life with Berserk and that is also true with countless others around the world. Thank you❤️

  Guts is such a great protagonist. <br><br>How rare is it to have such a badass and hardcore protagonist who&apos;s essentially death on legs, but is also human, and in some ways even vulnerable.

  It’s ironic that Guts’ hatred stems from absolute love.

  To me, I think Guts character profile kinda resembles the good that exists in the bad, and Griffith resembles an evil inside the good. Because how they look is almost a polar opposite of how they feel. kind of like yin and yang

  And Guts´physical state reflects his life. He lost his left arm (Griffith and Casca), his eye (part of his sanity) and part of his hair turned white (indicating that he´s tired and stressed).

  Guts didn&apos;t stop pursuing revenge because he &quot; accepted that he was the cause of the band of the hawk&apos;s death&quot;, he just didn&apos;t want to lose something that is irreplaceable again

  A parallel between Guts and Griffith in the manga is that both men have suffered greatly in their lives, and reached their absolute lowest at some point, where they were given the decision to retain their humanity, or end their suffering by discarding their humanity. <br>Grifith obviously picked the discarding route, while Guts retains his humanity, but is (where I&apos;m at) always on the edge of holding onto his humanity despite wanting to discard it, vs becoming a rage-infused berserker with such disgustingly high determination that makes even the demons he fights question his humanity.

  I feel like one the most gut wrenching things about the eclipse, besides the obvious ones, is that no one died with any dignity, except perhaps judeau, and they aren’t simply devoured. It’s not like a predator devouring prey, they’re all torn apart for entertainment and cruelty, and they’re used for psychological damage on their fellows, best see this in pippin we see him fight and defend his friends only to later see him from a distance seemingly unharmed only to realize he was torn to pieces and fit back together just to torment whoever has any hope in seeing him. All the band of the hawk died like tertiary characters which after the golden age arc none felt like, their deaths all felt unfair to their character which they absolutely were and it was completely on purpose. One of the most amazingly crafted moments in all of fantasy.

  The thing I hate most about Berserk is that my name is Donovan in real life 😭
