![]() ![]() ![]() Inducted into the Band by losing to Griffith in a duel, Guts finds himself for the first time surrounded by companions united by Griffith's dream and loyalty to each other, and grows to view Griffith with both friendship and admiration. Griffith is a man with a dream of winning his own kingdom despite his common origins, and possesses an egg-shaped artifact called the Crimson Behelit, which he was told will grant its owner the world in exchange for his flesh and blood. We learn that Guts has survived an abuse-filled childhood by becoming a prodigious fighter and lives as a lone sellsword until he meets the charismatic mercenary leader Griffith and his undefeated Band of the Hawk. Initially accompanied only by the diminutive elf Puck, who tries to act as a voice of conscience for the ruthless wanderer, he follows the God Hand while leaving a trail of enemy corpses in his wake.Īfter the conclusion of the first arc, the story then goes into a twelve-volumes-long flashback, called the Golden Age arc, which explains How We Got Here and reveals Guts' painful backstory. He wears fearsome armor, has a cannon-equipped iron prosthetic where his left arm used to be, and carries the slab-like Dragonslayer sword on his back wherever he goes. Born from the womb of a hanged woman and raised by a cruel mercenary as a Child Soldier, he has spent his whole life taking one level in badass after another in order to be tough enough to survive. If any human can take on these legions of hell, it's Guts. By hunting these creatures, Guts hopes to pick up the trail of Griffith and make him pay. The world is crawling with Apostles, monstrous servants of the God Hand who gave up their humanity in exchange for power. He is Walking the Earth seeking only one thing: revenge against Griffith, once his best friend, who treacherously sacrificed him and all their comrades to the demon gods known as the God Hand in order to be reborn as their fifth member. Guts is a warrior haunted by his past, namely the tragedy that ended in the loss of his arm, his eye, and everyone he cared about. ![]() When the demons find him, their deaths aren't pretty. Guts bears the cursed Brand of Sacrifice on the back of his neck, which attracts ghosts and demons hungry to devour him - but he is also one of the strongest men in the world and carries a very big sword.

At least it is true that man has no control, even over his own will."īerserk (ベルセルク, Beruseruku) is a Seinen manga series by the late Kentaro Miura (and by Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga, following Miura's passing), set in a grim Medieval European Fantasy world. Mori acknowledged that the fanbase might not be as satisfied with the end product since it wasn’t done by Miura, but he hoped that the fans would continue to support the team and help them finish the series, honoring Miura and the effort he put into this masterpiece of a manga series. Mori also went on to add that he would not flesh out any of the chapters and would stick to whatever was discussed between him and Miura. He also admitted that the storytelling would be imperfect and that he would try his best to recall all the necessary details to make the manga just as impactful. However, upon further reflection, he realized that these methods would not be ideal, and he took the opportunity given by Studio Gaga to work on the remaining chapters of the series. Kouji Mori had mentioned that he knew the entire plot for Berserk and wanted to share the details over an interview or a few illustrations. ![]()
