  Lost children and the whole of the Conviction arc really connected with me and love this part of the story so much. I miss Jill and hope she's doing well away from her father hopefully.

  "There is no paradise to escape to, there is only battlefields" My favorite quote from ALL of Berserk and maybe even manga - Lost children is gold

  I just recently caught up with Berserk and I'm shocked that the Lost Children arc is considered by some to be FILLER. Really shows how some people will go out of their way to underappreciate a story no matter how well-written it is.

  I like when Jill says "I think I'll try crying and shouting and biting my way through" cause not only does it show her own method of facing the reality of life, but also reflects what Guts feels deep down. No matter how strong he is, he is essentially doing exactly what Jill is doing, just a helpless person refusing to give up.

  Berserk is such a horrifyingly beautiful story. “There is no paradise you can escape to.” As someone who’s lost in their mind a lot, this line hits hard.

  Masked, when she is awakened from her trance by the broken egg, and Guts shows up, its a parallel. Guts was born from a corpse, and he sees the fetus curse. Those are very similar, and To me that is something Miura mastered, he picks these events as metaphors.

  Seeing this; knowing what Guts went through with his &quot;adoptive father&quot;; knowing that Casca was sold off to pedophile nobleman; and hearing interviews about how the author, Miura, went through some abuse by his own dad; a part of me wants to see an ending where the cycle of abuse is broken. Guts and Casca, together and healed, and being the parents they needed when they were young to the next generation. <br><br>Yes, the world of Berserk is dark. But it is about struggling against it. If there was no belief that something is worth it, then what is the point?

  Also Guts saying stick to Pikaf he actually heard the story and got the meaning of it the moral of the story ,wanting Jill to go back to what she has before she regrets her actions. <br>Just like Guts left and lost everything he had.<br>I LOVE how deep berserk goes. <br>And i do believe Guts meant that he is quite wise for a dog of war.

  Nuts from berk is my inspiration. My favourite quote of his &quot;im going berserk: the golden age arc&quot;. Makes me cry to this day.

  Guts is portrayed as pretty much a slasher villain in parts of this arc. Rosine was perfectly happy living in her little pretend world of fairy tales, and then Guts is thrown in there like a fucking mangrenade. You know you&apos;ve got a dark protagonist when even the villain, a demon who has children raped and murdered for her amusement, looks at him and goes:<br><br>&quot;The fuck is wrong with you?&quot;

  There is at least one place we find paradise: in the love we create with others.
