>Just started watching Berserk because of the new series

>This fucking scene

Holy fucking shit this has got to be the most hardcore scene I've ever seen in anime. Like, this nigga legit rapes her in front of her lover whilst he rips off his own arm and gets his eye gouged out.

This puts every other "suffering" manga to shame. . .like holy shit I'm still in awe and still very hard

It's not that I enjoy the suffering, it's more I'm really offput about it. Like, most anime, even the more brutal ones are too much of a pussy to do something like this.

You compare this to edgetier shit like Tokyo Ghoul where people scream about how tortued Kaneki was, and it just does not compare in the slightest.

That's what I like, shit that other shows just won't do.

Too bad real Berserk ended a long time ago.

Black Swordsman arc + Golden Age arc + Lost Children arc = Berserk.

Everything after that is basically a different story (with characters from Berserk). If you read the whole manga you will see what I mean.

Someone got triggered.

But seriously, Berserk went downhill after the Lost Children arc ended. It was supposed to be about Guts' personal war to avenge his fallen comrades, NOT a Lord Of The Rings rip-off (Casca = the ring) and a nice, happy D&D party.

It's probably too late now to save Berserk. Miura knows that he fucked up when he decided to change the theme of the story 180 degrees. Why do you think Berserk is now being published irregularly? Because Miura himself is no longer interested in Berserk.

Think about it.
>>
>>145755485
>It was supposed to be about Guts' personal war to avenge his fallen comrades
There has always been more to Berserk than that m8.
>>
>>145755485
Well I think him being with the party shows his character development after being a psychopathic killer that despises everyone to being more accepting like how it happened with the band of the hawk so the new group is kind of like the band of the hawk ( embarrassing i know). Miura can probably unfuck it though if the whole party dies if griffith does start a sacrifice in Falconia and Guts kills casca after she cant be cured (unless she also dies in the sacrifice).
>>
>>145742514
Well, wasn't it also some kind of "Senpai-finally-noticed-me"-scene...
>>
>>145755485
>after the Lost Children arc ended
So 2 arcs total of Gut's personal war? The whole point is that Gut's personal war was futile. This is why he lost Casca in the 2nd part of conviction arc and had to retrieve/save her. Gut's personal war is a wild goose chase for the first 2 arc (barring Golden Age of course), Guts got hammered hard that he lost Casca for the 2nd time.
>>
>>145753090
Well, unpopular opinion, but every arc until Schierke apppeared was good. After Schierkes appearance, it went downhill...

>There has always been more to Berserk than that m8.

There wasn't.

This is why the Black Swordsman arc was published first and the Golden Age was a giant flashback arc. This is why the Lost Children arc continues right where the Black Swordsman arc left off and why Guts matures by the end of Lost Children and his Beast of Darkness is introduced.

THAT is how Berserk should have continued. Miura isn't a terrible writer but let's be honest, almost everything after Lost Children was an asspull.

If Griffith was planning to "come back" why wasn't this even hinted at during the Black Swordsman arc when Guts met him in the astral plane?

If the Kushan Empire was such a threat and on the march to conquer the world why were they never mentioned during the Golden Age arc? It's an asspul. Consider that the Bakiraka guys were portrayed as mercenaries for hire from the far east in the Golden Age arc, BUT then we find out that they are actually the Kushan Empire's special forces. That's dumb writing. WTF were these guys working for the King of Midland and why were they allowed to live and work in Midland in the first place?

And the BIGGEST asspull of them all. If Guts loves Casca so much why doesn't he remember her at all during the Black Swordsman and Lost Children arcs?

And hell, I'm one of those fans who actually liked the berserker armor and I think that it makes a lot of sense for Guts to have it.
I liked the idea of apostles fighting as an organized military unit, just not the way it was done.
Now if Berserk became more like The Running Man (after the Lost Children arc ended) with apostles organizing a mercenary band to hunt Guts down, it would have been a much better story than what Miura did.
>>
>>145756621
Gut's solo war is a wild goose chase. It's been hammered down multiple times that it's about protecting Casca. Even Guts admitted his mistake. This is why the anime picks up right after Lost Children.

You're one of those people who completely missing the point and thought that the marines should've won in Avatar
>>
>>145742691
Violence Jack if you want pure edge for the sake of edge
Devilman if you want a Berserk tier "dark as fuck but with a story that justifies it" style manga.
Fist of the North Star was lots of Violence too
I mention these three because theyre Miuras main influences outside of western movies and Guin Saga
Now if youre just into some blood and titties (and who isnt?) There like 1000 1980's OVAs for you to watch. Usually with much better animation than youll see today
>>
>>145756710
I think the Count arc pretty solidly showed that trying to fight Femto is just throwing Guts life away. You cant beat reality warping powers with just a sword.
>>
>>145756202
>>after the Lost Children arc ended
>So 2 arcs total of Gut's personal war? The whole point is that Gut's personal war was futile.

Uh what? He was hunting down and killing the monsters who killed his friends... which is exactly what he vowed to do right after surviving the Eclipse.

>Gut's personal war is a wild goose chase

I must be reading a different manga then. Did you forget that the Count, and Rosine, and her friends attacked and ate some of the members of the Band Of The Hawk even before the Eclipse happened. And don't forget what the Count did to Pippin during the Eclipse. They were evil scum that had to die, and that's exactly what we see happen.

Just because Guts couldn't do anything to Griffith when they met in the astral plane doesn't make Guts' war of revenge pointless. Every time Guts kills an apostle the world becomes a better place. But we also saw that apostles (other than Wyald) aren't just 1-dimensional villains with no story or personality. THAT is how Berserk should have continued.

>>145756246
>After Schierkes appearance, it went downhill...

It did. I hate how she became the 2nd most important hero in the story. I hate the idea that Guts and Schierke are "destined" to be together. This wasn't needed at all. And I really hate that she is a kid. Who the hell wants to see a smartass loli in a manga like Berserk? Why did Miura think this was a good idea? At least Jill went home when the Lost Children arc ended, and Erica doesn't play a major role in the story.
>>
I thought the idea that he was this cold beast who could endure a one man war against the supernatural was thrown out the window in the first chapters before the flashback.

Not only was the power of the God Hand utterly overwhelming, he's shown having a small breakdown in that one famous panel as he leaves the Count's castle after dealing with his daughter. The sheer mental and emotional distress he was going through was eating away at him and he was barely surviving, let alone the physical torture he put his body through.

It seems natural that he would have to find help along the way; it emphasizes the sheer scale of what he was against. Futility is a common theme in the series and Gut's initial journey after the Eclipse encapsulate that.

You're ignoring the bigger picture and the mental and emotional aspects

The Golden Age should have hammered this home. Guts was a prodigy in combat with nearly superhuman ability but it wasn't enough. Comradery and Casca changed him for the better.

I think any emotional depths would be neutered if Guts could just rage his way through absolutely everything alone and be successful, and the series certainly wouldn't be as compelling.
>>
>>145756621

Holy fuck what a speed reader. Your only legitimate complaint is that Griffith's motivations weren't clear from his first appearance, which is likely because yes, Miura hadn't gotten around to plotting that out completely yet.

>If the Kushan Empire was such a threat and on the march to conquer the world why were they never mentioned during the Golden Age arc? It's an asspull.

Nobody saw the Ottomans coming, either.

>Consider that the Bakiraka guys were portrayed as mercenaries for hire from the far east in the Golden Age arc, BUT then we find out that they are actually the Kushan Empire's special forces. That's dumb writing. WTF were these guys working for the King of Midland and why were they allowed to live and work in Midland in the first place?

Because they were, they make a plot point of the fact that these guys are primarily a mercenary/assassin force that was co-opted by Emperor Ganishka. They had been going around hiring themselves out for hundreds of years prior to that.

>And the BIGGEST asspull of them all. If Guts loves Casca so much why doesn't he remember her at all during the Black Swordsman and Lost Children arcs?

Dude was drowning himself. He ran away to what he thought he knew best, killing, and went deeper and deeper until hanging around Puck too much reminded him of what he left behind.
>>
>>145756970
That should have been true for Ganishka as well. Combined with SK's rifting abilities, he might be able to strike a blow or two. But the final battle will not be fought with blades

I actually like all the magic stuff in Berserk.
>>
>>145759855
>until hanging around Puck too much reminded him of what he left behind
not him but it wasn't puck that reminded him, it was his deformed child that warned him of the danger. The one who called Guts out on his bullshit was Godo. I don't know what the problem with /a/ is but that moment before the tower of conviction was probably the biggest character development for Guts and was very important for the series.

Not to mention the Sea Peoples, Goths, Huns, Mongols, The Conquistadors landing in the Americas, etc.

Know it's kind of hard to imagine in the modern world, but there are plenty of instances throughout history of civilizations being attacked by invaders that come essentially out of nowhere. Hell, the Mongols hit Hungary so suddenly and so ferociously that they were honestly convinced they were the heralds of Gog and Magog coming to herald the end times for a time.

This. Dark content in a story with a lot of action is confronting for sure, but when you put it in a story with almost no action at all it becomes soul-crushing. There is no respite, no occasional tangent of gratifying violence. It's just you and the awful things that are happening.

Fantastic read for anyone on their way down the rabbit hole.

everyone plays up the end of the golden age as the high point of the series but imo it just kinda was what it was.

he became an evil god, and to make good on his vow to give up everything he loved to attain godhood, he killed two birds with one stone by raping the woman who loved him in front of the man he loved.. like literally destroyed the love triangle and sacrificed them.

It'll fall. Zodd's prophecy from the first time they met wasn't talking about the eclipse. Zodd warned Guts that he'll die when Griffith's dream/ambition comes crashing down/crumbles. He was talking about the fall of Falconia.

The end was foretold way back in Chapter 21. we were just too blind to see it.

To be honest I did not feel that badly for Gutts. He was challenging literally gods and he should have been better to Griffith in their youth. I did fee bad for Caska, but then the mangakadrew her enjoying it, like she'd wanted it all this time, like Griffith was merely a demon fulfilling her fantasy. Isn't that what Griffiths demon is, literally the degenerate thoughts of humanity?

He was fulfilling Guts fantasy too.

>Nobody saw the Ottomans coming, either.

Is this what they actually teach in world history class these days? I mean, damn where do I even begin to explain how wrong you are.
In real life maybe the average European peasant "didn't see it coming" but the ruling elites, the heads of state, and the Vatican definitely did.
That's why the Crusades happened, which btw were a defensive war.

It was the same with the Mongol invasions. Look it up. The Kingdom of France tried to establish diplomatic relations with the Mongols long before the Mongols got close enough to threaten France.

>Because they [the Bakiraka] were, they make a plot point of the fact that these guys are primarily a mercenary/assassin force that was co-opted by Emperor Ganishka. They had been going around hiring themselves out for hundreds of years prior to that.

No, sorry it is dumb writing. It would be like the U.S. hiring Soviet KGB agents to do some dirty work during the Cold War.
It doesn't help that the Bakiraka guys are also from a different religion and are pretty much considered to be heretics in the "lands of the Holy See" (including Midland).
I like that in the anime the Bakiraka don't appear in the Golden Age arc, because it makes absolutely no sense for them to be there. Silat's minor role in the Golden Age arc doesn't create any serious continuity problems, but the Bakiraka hit squad which worked for King of Midland definitely do.

My point is that we don't know what might have happened if Guts had continued his war of revenge... because Miura changed the story 180 degrees.

Berserk is darker. It has a grittier, way more intense and bleak atmosphere.
One piece is more tragic when comparing the various different instances of suffering compared to the entirety of Guts' life.
Neither are edgy.

Other than Luffy tending to conquer the darkness and bring the light, I can't agree. I mean yes Berserk is more blatant about it, but the one piece world is Ike a post ritual Berserk except no ritual was even needed to make it that way. You can't just undo a magic spell to fix One Piece world like you can Berserk's.

>>145763783
>Everybody who knew about it told him he wasn't going to win it. They are right.

We DON'T know... because Miura changed the theme of Berserk 180 degrees after the Lost Children arc ended.
Guts' Beast of Darkness was introduced and... nothing was done with it so far. Who knows what might have happened if Guts had continued to fight his war against the apostles and the godhand.

I can't emphasize this enough:

Guts in the Black Swordsman arc =/= Guts in berserker armor =/= Guts in berserker armor perfectly synchronized with his Beast of Darkness (which hasn't happened yet).

If Guts gives up his war of revenge in order to live peacefully with Casca, if Berserk doesn't end with Guts killing at least Griffith if not the rest of the godhand, this will be a huge "fuck you" to the audience.

This will be one of the lamest plot twists in the history of fiction, much worse than what George Lucas and Akira Toriyama have done lately. I sincerely hope that Miura doesn't do this but I can't deny that he might because he is clearly losing interest in continuing Berserk.

Miura has only himself to blame. If it's not broken, don't fix it. The original theme of Berserk worked really well, there was no need changing anything.
>>
>>145773326
I'm saying the entirety of OP world is darker than the entirety of Berserk world, I listed a specific instance because OP did from Berserk.

In no way is Bellemere's death the main illustration of the dark shiftiness of OP world. The abundance of Orphans in OP world is though.

Big Mom might as well be a god hand with the level of magic she possesses.

It was incredibly edgy though, you don't have to dislike (or like) the scene to see that. That scene is notable more for how over-the-top it is and not just the rape merely happening.

There is no way Griffith is resigned to being subordinate the other godhand. Does anon agree?

Casca regularly shows pretty incredible feats of strength and agility during the Golden age. She was 2nd in command of the Hawks, a position she couldn't have reached by being weak and docile.

It's just that everyone only remembers the time she had menstrual cramps and when Griffith raped her. It doesn't help that she's been an invalid for the past 20 years.

Nami's backstory is also normal in the one piece world.
Did the Eclipse kill even as many people as the genocide of Ohara and the destruction of the Tree of Knowledge? These were 800 year later consequences of the Void Century. Something so dark that honorable people believe it is better to genocide any people that try to discover what occurred in that time than to let the knowledge be shared. It's a much darker setting than berserk, the happy go lucky nature of the main cast does not change that.

Berserk hyperboles it's darkness, making a scene of 100 dead look worse than the murder of all but 1 of an entire civilization, one on the brink of discovering the history of the void century. One Piece understates it, because it is so grim that it has to to keep the reader from feeling hopeless.

Skully foreshadowed that Casca may not want to be cured, and why would she? The world's driven itself ever deeper into shit while she's probably dreaming happily of having a kid with Guts. Or she's having constant nightmares, if you go by the semi-canonical Dreamcast game.

She had a chapter about how shit life was in her home village, before her parents sold her out to a noble who was clearly going to make her his sex slave, and then another chapter of her finding her place within the Hawks and at Griffith's side. Makes me think of Serpico, the two of them went through a lot of abuse and ended up becoming very devoted to the commanders they followed.

If Oda decided to realistically depict the massacre of all those people, blood, wounds, corpses and everything, would you still call it a hyperbole. There is no exaggeration of the shit that happens in Berserk, it's simply the reality of that world. Oda could have shown the bullet go through Bellemere's head and her limp, lifeless body hit the floor but he didn't. Miura can depict an insanely angry man cutting off his own arm to save his lover from literally Satan if he wants. I'm not gonna call it a hyperbole.

And in the Berserk world, they had a shitty feudal system, keep in mind Skull Knight has been fighting Apostles for hundreds of years as well, it's not like things weren't a little fucked before then, shit's just been going down since the merger. And there's only a handful of people doing anything about it, which we don't even know how because in their world, people are subject to causality, usually steered towards suffering, whose main oppressors are absurdly powerful gods.

At least in One Piece, you have a division of power between the world government and rogue factions like pirates and the revolutionaries. Fixing all those issues doesn't seem as futile, or impossible in One Piece as it does in Berserk. I feel like the world of Berserk is more grim, if not for that.

How much dick did Zodd suck to get a cool apostle form like that?

Conviction was the worst arc, way too much comic relief in what was meant to be Eclipse Part 2

Most of the party is at the very least on par with normal form Guts.
>>
>>145785953
No its fucking not, nobody can stand solo like him, thus they're very inferior. Schierke is powerful, but i doubt she can hold her own against multiple apostles. Serpico fucking lost in a straight up sword duel against Guts with everything tremendously in his own favor. Rest don't even need to be mentioned
>>
>>145786056
Serpico wasn't using his magic shit in that fight, though, while Guts always has his demon sword and metal arm. And Farnese is still training.

A sword which was a disadvantage in that environment. Fake arm isn't even a benefit, only Guts made it fucking work. Low quality bait, made me reply

His sword just cleaved through the whole room, to the point where it even collapsed the ceiling. What other sword can do that, huh?

>>145786293
That's Guts own capability, not his sword magic, so saying Serpico measures up is a fucking joke

Guts can't make a normal sword cleave through several pillars. It's just not mechanically possible.
>>
>>145786393
And?
>>
>>145786293

Why would you want a sword hitting all stuff arround except for your opponent in a duel?

That sword is a disadvantage when fighting anything normal sized. Guts can use it just cause he's crazy strong.
>>
>>145782089
I've seen this before but just now I realized it kind of reminds me of Nito from Dark Souls.

Because Serpico is a slippery little shit and can evade Guts basically all day long if Guts can't use his giant fuckstick to destroy the arena and deny access with its sheer size.
>>
>>145786603
Comparing him to Guts in strength or swordsmanship is ridiculous though, he merely exceeds in tactics
>>
>>145786603

Sword isn't an advantage there. a knife would have worked better for anyone in that situation. Gutts gets a free pass for being Gutts. in any other case, sword is useless. It's just to big to be called a sword.
>>
>>145756621

The manga even fucking spells it out for you. He was so focused on revenge that he lost himself to bloodlust. Or do you think it's normal to laugh when you cleave apart the souls of children?
>>
>>145786393
That's more a function of his sword being a massive slab of iron than it being any kind of magical tool.
>>
>>145743208
You have it wrong. We're not saying Griffith was good, we're just saying Casca was starving for his Femto dick.

hold up

He pulled the EXACT same shit before at a junction of fate, he took a swing at Void even though he didn't have to.

Most of the pages before he merged the worlds was Griffith trying to cover his own ass so he wouldn't be the one sacrificed to create the new world, shortly prior to Emps transformation he was the only person around that fit the criterion to be used to merge worlds.

Oda did show Bellemere get shot in the head and did show her body fall to the floor. Berserk makes tame shit look horrible. One Piece makes you forget that its horrible.

Berserk world is hyperbole tragic, 10 years of pain.
One Piece world is almost 1000 years of unstoppable horror.
