BERSERK 364 - The End of a Masterpiece. 

Kentaro Mirua was 65 - 70% completed with Berserk, this is the last chapter writer and drawn by him. If Young Animal Magazine and studio Gaga continues, I will support the continuing of the series, thank Kentaro Mirua R.I.P.

Amazing how the chapter ended up feeling like an appropriate ending. Almost makes me feel like Miura had a feeling about his health declining. The scene where guts mentioned he not good without the armor anymore really put that thought into my head. I broke reading the chapter. For some reason, even though Griffith was saying it; those final lines of dialog made me weep.

Seeing guts lose his grip on the dragon slayer and his hands trembling fucking hurt. He's lost so much and I don't want him to lose anything further

I never expected that a frictional character could be this impactful, among thousands of mangas, thousands of protagonists, why is this manga, and him, the only one dazzling so much that makes the others look dim.. RIP kentaro, you are the goat.

The last thing this man drew was guts playing with a child and Griffith crying

This series has saved my life so many times. Without it, I might not still be here. The first time it saved me, I was seven years old, having only glimpsed a couple panels in a magazine back in 2000. Its imagery helped me to shape the forms of my personalities that branched off and separated due to intense trauma that year. And later on, in 2019, when I was finally able to accept the trauma that had occurred nearly 20 years prior and become one person again, and since then, I was able to remember what it meant to treat myself as if I was a human being. And even last year, when my first conversation with the woman who would become my fiancé revolved around this beautiful manga and its deeper layers, it helped me to connect to an amazing woman who I've chosen to share my life with, to build a family and raise children with. From the terrifying nightmares of my childhood to late night conversations holding the woman I love, Berserk has been an encapsulation of my own growth as a human being. Seeing the end to a series that has been part of the best and most powerful moments of my life for 22 years is nothing short of a bittersweet completion of my own journey: from a child in grief to rage-driven teenager to existentially-tortured college student and athlete and finally to a man come full-circle and ready to take on the titles and challenges of husband and father. Thank you, Kentaro Miura. Thank you for saving my soul. Thank you for saving my life.

I have to agree. Perhaps if this is the end, its probably a better ending than we may of eventually have got. If this truly is the end of Berserk, then you know what? I'm happy with it. The idea that Griffith possibly regrets his actions, that deep underneath the facade and his demonhood, there is a part of him that honestly says to himself "What have I done...?" means alot to me. If the team continues it, good on them, but if they can't or don't want to, than at least we got something close enough to a ending.

"And that, too, takes a moment to disappear. With a single teardrop, like the morning dew" -Griffith "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." -Roy Batty

Thank you for this, it is so easy to listen to your voice that it takes me into the berserk world.

Anybody notice that Griffith's/Femto's appearance didn't trigger Guts and Casca's brands? Anybody notice that Casca isn't getting PTSD while Guts is in front of her? Maybe Griffith's presence cancels that all out. How _can_ Guts get mad...unless Casca finally realizes what Griffith did to her?

"Guts isn't angry anymore." I'm crying buckets, man....He's found peace..... T_T

LETS FUCKING GO, BERSERK IS COMING BACK

Actually you missed a good portion of this chapter. The moonlight boy met Casca and played with the crew for an entire day. But that's the most part the site you're reading from.

The demon child protects his parents. That is common knowledge and Griffith absorbed the demon child and protected Casca at the Hill of Swords. Ever since it was Griffith who comes and protects Casca and Guts on the night of the full moon

Thank God this video aged poorly.

this hits way different i only can only say full of hatred but no sign of it just teared up a little

A perfect ending??? Fuck no. Griffith doesn't deserve ANY of Gut's and Casca's warmth and affection after fucking them up the way he did. It's just so unfair; after having tainted their unborn child by raping Casca in front of Guts in the middle of a horrendous massacre in which all the members of the Band of the Hawk (his former camrades) were brutally slaughtered. He has no right to shed a tear and play the victim. This is by no means a perfect ending, regardless of how beautifully it is drawn.

I'm getting in denial that this is the final chapter of Berserk, but if it is...then this is a perfect ending for Berserk. Thank you Kentaro Miura.

Someone out there, living in a universe where Kentaro Miura is still alive, spoil us on Berserk.

the last panel is the perfect imagery of berserk fandom reading this final chapter. Young mind (Moonlight boi) grow up (transform) into adult (Griffith) while made a realization & tears be flowing. I am content if this is the last chapter. I would even personally said this chapter is the perfect chapter for "the end." In a way this chapter kinda culminated the conceptual ending for the series overall, giving the visual evidences that Miura sensei already have an ending since Golden Age arc. I really recommend people to read Griffith dream chapter & this chapter back to back to compare the thematical similarity of the importance of family & love between these most three important characters in the whole series. Between Guts, Casca, & Griffith. Another evidence why Moonlight boy is the key of redemption for Guts & Griffith. My hope after this, Studio GAGA continue working on Duranki instead in full form, respecting Berserk end, & maybe we get something special from these young artists who worked together day & night with Miura's sensei.

Man I've never been so happy to be wrong, I really did not think they'd continue it but it's in more than capable hands so I'm excited.

I appreciate the beauty of the character. Simple yet telling

Guts's journey turned away from revenge a long time ago. He is about protecting what he has, now. Femto wasn't Griffith in anything but appearance, the Moonlight Boy was his last tear/shred of humanity.

Starts with Griffith, ends with Griffith.

I'm not the first to bring it up but i like the idea that this chapter works as an ending in regards to living your life as a person, and as an artist. You never know what the future holds and the future is ambiguous. You'll be doing your own thing while someone across the globe somewhere is doing something else. Not every ending is climactic and dramatic. In their worlds, main characters are real. When the bad guy is beaten we don't know what the main characters are doing afterwards. Thats what this feels like. After the main characters are reunited after completing their goals, what happens? Guts helped caska get her mind back and Griffith got his Kingdom. After they've seen each other after years, 20ish for the audience, what will happen next? We don't know. IF this is the last chapter.

I hope that the assistants will be confident in the teachings Miura left them. Miura probably trusts them enough to finish his masterpiece. I hope that they do continue it in a way that they think Miura would continue it.

Not the end anymore letsssss goooooooo!!!!

Damn it is almost a year since Kentaro Miura’s passing and it still is unbelievable. As much as I want Berserk to finish having Miura alive to do anything else would be just as nice. RIP Kentaro Miura

I had just finished reading Berserk, caught up to all of it and, wow....I never thought i would cry this much reading a piece of fiction. Miura's final chapter was mind blowing....Rest easy goat.

ITS BACK BABY ROUND 2

Wow, made me cry, thank you, the best manga ever really, my favorite piece of literature overall including classical literature, its like looking in a mirror, beautiful but frightening😢

Wow, what a beautiful way to go through that last episode.

Are you sure about that

Beautiful. Tears in rain speech level impact.

I just finished the 40th volume. I thought I need to wait for the next chapter by Miura's best friend when I saw this video. Excellent, there's more out there to read. Thanks you sir.

GET FRICKED ITS COMIN BACK

Very nicely done. I still sad it wont be going on but, i to felt that it was a realy good chapter to end upon.

You describing this as the final day of high school is perfectly apt man, crazy

Its back

perfect ending ? nope, manga will continue next 2 weeks from now !

I hope the story continues this was one of the best stories i have read. I want guts to finally have peace

In my opinion, Guts seems to be too damaged from the Flora fight , getting his joints twisted and bones shattered like that will probably damage some nerves (not to mention the armors "bone nails"), he lost a lot of weight (flora fight recovery, i think it lasted months, ), his soul was cut by Slan and he started loosing senses(i think taste went first and occasional minor sight problems ) because of berzerker armor usage, got hit by lightning . I had a very minor problem with my nerve where after strenuous activity i could barely hold a book (albeight a very heavy anatomy book, it just fell out eventually ) because my wristbones would pinch my inflamed nerve when griping things. It is a small miracle he can even stand .Guts is in no condition to fight apostles withouth the armor which will "consume " him should he not stop using it, unless he can be fixed and/or masters the armor, im afraid this is the end of the road for him since he is no longer suicidally angry.

Well now it’s coming back

I just read all of Berserk for the first time and I have to agree. It's unbelievable that it ended as well as it did considering how full it was of long spanning arcs, crazy cliffhangers and decades worth of story. Just the fact that the last page is a face to face between Griffith and Guts, and not in a rage-filled, we're about to throw down sort of way, but in a sad goodbye, makes me think surely Kentaro knew he wasn't going to get the chance to write another chapter. I obviously wish I knew more. It's kind of sad, happy, and rage inducing all at the same time that someone with god-like powers and capable of the most evil actions imaginable still feels an attachment to his two most important people. In a lot of ways though, I kind of hope Kentaro's team just leaves it at that. In my head cannon that can be Griffith's farewell and Guts and Casca and crew can just give up their pursuit of vengeance and learn to cope and heal from all their past trauma with the elves.

Thank you for your video. I was thinking the same thing reading this. It made me tear the fk up, cause it was so beautiful... Just a nice ending.

Mixed feelings. Happy because it closes so deeply. Sad because at the end... it will never finish. R.I.P. Kentaro Miura. You are a legend.

I really hope Miura’s assistants continue this fantastic series. A final battle between Guts and Griffith and the God Hand would be pretty sick. Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura.

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Last chapter was so beautiful, poetry. Now they bringing it back but it wont be the same

berserk is back babyyyyyy

Bro I've said it before and I'll say it again, YOU GOTTA BE ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED RU-vidRS ON THIS PLATFORM!! Without fail the quality of your videos, from the editing to the script and topics your discuss, to just how insightful you are in what you talk about, to keeping me locked in the entire time, it's absolutely amazing! I constantly think you're and multi-100k sub channel, only to see you're around 6k, but don't lose heart man! With vids of your quality being constantly made, their bound to blow up and bring in a whole new wave of subscribers. So don't give up, and keep up the amazing vids, can't wait to see what you'll put out next!

Guts grifith confrontation we have been waiting for so far

thank you kentaro. rest in peace.

I always thought it was poetic that Guts’ story would never end just as his suffering never seemed too and I saw the last chapter in a melancholy light but accepted that it was the end. That is until the announced the continuation but I still see chapter 364 as Miura’s ending and it’s such a good one.

BERSERK IS BACK

I don't have words to say that a closure is needed, they speak, or they fight, although, I feel this chapter heartwarming.

It would be cool if they made a spinoff of the story, like a continuation from chapter 364. To differentiate between Miura’s work and his assistants’ work. Like a Berserk: A Harsh Reality or something like that. It will still be Berserk but not Miura’s Berserk.

Rejoice! Berserk is getting continued on June 24th

I just finished the manga and now I'm crying

This is so beautiful. Last as long as you can. If you have something to protect, take up the sword, stand. fight. Struggle, and in the end you will still sit.... In rain, or cold, or sun and snow... But wherever you end up, your pain will reveal your one true hero; your heart.

Haha sicke berserk will be continued in june 24 2022

Honestly, i interpreted the last quotes from Grifith totaly from another perspective. Even not knowing that this was the chapter it "ended", it still felt to me that "everything is about to crumble" with that last speech

A perfect ending to this video, as well. "Thank you, Kentaro Miura". Nothing more needed to be said. :') Anyway. I am glad that we got such an open ending. If it is the ending.

I finished reading Berserk a few hours ago and I was left speechless amazing end to this masterpiece

I unfortunately don't have much of an experience with Berserk but I will still say RIP I respect Kentarō Miura and the wonderful work he has done

So much that went unsaid yet so little time. This chapter ending in ambiguity is capturing to say the least and should be the ending we get. I can understand why it happened that way.

you read the incomplete version. there are more pages, where casca spends more time with the moonlight boy.

oh no rip! i just found out and am getting back on Beserk

Panels at 4:01 and 4:38 melt my heart while reading, guts adoring him, guts of all people adoring a boy and showing feelings, i was so happy until that boy became Griffith, why that boy, the one guts got attached to, my heart is shattered

this for me represents a symbolic ending to the era of kentaro mirua and could be a fitting end for berserk but even still i have that desire to see a true end to guts story, to see the final confrontations of these characters and the true ends to their arcs and too see how this expansive and deep world will end up after it. I would truly love to this series finished but by the man who worked alongside kentaro himself and who would be able to finish it in the most fitting way and the closest to the final image of kentaro if he was still here. This storys been building to a great finale ever since Griffiths great betrayal and i will always want to see that at least on manga format

Let it end like this. Don't be entitled to the ending you want guys. Don't be like Twitter.

We lived to see the berserk ending. RIP Kentaro Miura.

It's continuing y'all

Berserk is backkkk

Only started reading in march but I’m about 30 chapters away from this which is making me sad

HELL NAH WE COMING BACK LETS GO

it wierd cuz the chapter was so perfectly fit being an ending yet not because there are still a bunch of thing being left unanswered, like how that sword smith boy going with into some kind of moutain thing and other stuff

crying while watching this

0:19 felt tha 😮‍💨

So many questions left unanswered

_Spirit of Fiction:_ Berserk got a perfect ending _Kouji Mori:_ Imma pull what's called a pro-gamer move

Its not the end lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I love Berserk and RIP Miura, but this was anything but a perfect ending. It's a cliffhanger.

If they continue it as best they can cool. If they end it here I would like at least a synopsis of what was supposed to happen so we could at least know how it was supposed to end.

I am so glad you were wrong! long live Berserk, we will get closure!!

Thank you Mirua

If they continue they need to change the name. Kentaro's work should be its own body of work

This was a perfect ending. This is the end of Berserk carry that weight. It too will disappear with a single tear drop like the morning dew.

did you read the full chapter, cos you missed a few pages in the summary

Hey…so how do you feel about the most recent news?

How sad...I often joked it would end when he died. Didn't think it would actually happen, tho...

now if only they make do a re make anime deserving of this fantastic high Fantasy manga

It's more of a cliffhanger than an ending.

Imo, Griffith throught the moonlight boy finally regains his humanity and ability to care for people, because when he reached his dream, he realized it was completely vapid and empty and in the end, he picked a Faustian Bargain.

Nice Video :´)

Not an ending anymore

This was clearly not the end, it ended on a cliffhanger so Miura probably had a more definite conclusion in mind.

For me, Berserk ended at chapter 364

Berserk is hands down a masterpiece even just the 364 chapters by the man himself. May he RIP Miura a Tolkien of his genre. No not just his genre but to his entire medium of storytelling.

It's crazy how many people still don't understand the latest chapters. Don't get me wrong, it took me a while too. The demon child was utilized as a vessel for the absolute (when the large tower fell, and the child was inside the egg; it disappeared afterward). But it's still inside the body and comes out for Guts and Casca during full moons. To be honest, I always thought that Casca got pregnant from Griffith's rape, so the revelation that Guts has a kid was pretty pleasant.
