I watched the anime and read much of the manga but honestly I was fed up with all the annoying characters. I really only liked Guts.

And also the story has been on going for 20 years now with no end in sight.

The golden age arc is currently the only part worth reading. Right up until after griffith destroys casca. Until he gets them back on track, off of elf island and back to killing demons, I'm done. I love the story, it's a great inspiration to me in writing my graphic novel, but it's taking on aspects of DBZ that I don't like.

As for the parallels, sure it's pretty obvious. It's a Christian or anti-god struggle through and through. Fallen angel fighting off demons and purging the world of evil. Man vs God, why were we created, rebellion against order and globalization.

Guys is always the cold voice of reason. Everyone else is soft and naive. Guts is painted as uncaring, jaded, worn and cynical. And in his world, he's the one that never dies, that always gets up to fight again. He isn't immortal. It's this realistic approach that he takes through his life that sets him apart and keeps him alive.

So he fights the ghosts and demons, things ordinary people couldn't imagine. He defies the gods themselves. He literally is on a path to kill a god.

I don't think there is some sort of evil god council that is bent on dooming mankind. I think the story is meant to make you sympathize with guts and what hes been through. Realize how awful he is, but at the same time, realize he makes the most sense. This is how you overcome the delusion of God or gods and set your life on the path it was meant for. Take that spiritual journey and slay those gods yourself, and be free of their reigns. Recognize the evil in men and how to combat it, and devote your life to getting what you want. Guts is a Satanist for sure.

I played the video game so was interested enough to read some of the synopsis online. From what I gathered(or what intrigued me), it was about the ascension of an evil messiah(Griffith?) to Godhood.

guts is mr sirius 23 a TRUE man

Television isn't supposed to enlighten you, It's supposed to brainwash you, Especially Anime.

Using this logic, There probably is a god and Berserk is a series that is meant to brainwash your mind to oppose this omnipotent being.


Guts and Saitama both think they can rise above god's through hard work and sheer will. How retarded.

Yep. Everyone knows God ain't real
