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.
@Shin Shaman LOL the young Defiant Wannabe has returned and failed yet again at starting a flame war. Get a personality that isn't from a lolcow like Defiant bro lmao.
@@ThatGuy-ky2yf Young defiant is much better than this guy. At least he never laughed at someone's death. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GEBhzhtMnFA.html
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.
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.
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.
That was beautiful.. thanks for sharing it. I couldn't resonate with you more, berserk saved my soul too, countless times, I'll eternally be grateful to Miura for creating the most beautiful work of art ever to me. Rest in peace miura
@@spacesomeone, you're welcome. I enjoy sharing my experiences. It makes it feel less traumatic with every re-telling. It's a form of reprocessing that can really help with trauma. And I find that my story helps others feel comfortable enough to come forward. I used to do it in college to help other people face their own demons in both public speaking and support groups. This story has changed so many lives. And I hope that it always will.
That’s so cool, I wish you a good and long life, I’m 26 now and was always depressed and lonely (got hurt and betrayed a lot by „friends“ and girls) I feel like giving up, I’m so done with everything and everyone! Wish you all the best buddy 🍀
@@kommissarrex1193 struggle onward friend :( I won't say I know what you're going through, but I know how brutal life can be, and as a fellow struggler, I want you to take care of your self really well. we live in brutally lonely times, you could be surrounded by people everywhere but feel utterly alone in this world, so, keep trying out things that works for your depression, therapy, meditation, running, or spending time with certain people you feel good around, don't give up, I've been there many times and I always realize that I didn't really want to give up on my life, I just want it changed for the better, it can change, I promise you, mine's still not great but so much better than how it was before and it's only improving with the efforts I'm putting in. you never know what the tide could bring, our brains could never predict what will happen in the future (it might seem like you're doomed forever but there's no way to know..) our brains lie to us a lot especially when we're depressed, making us see the world through dark lenses and all. I don't know if that helped, I hope it did.. and I hope you'll find yourself surrounded by trustworthy, caring people in the future.
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.
But it’s having that feeling at all that gives it meaning, he sacrificed everything for his kingdom but in the end wanted friends, guts struggled on and found some semblance of peace and a family. If this is the end, it’s thematically perfect for what berserk is.
"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
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?
Cascas focus is on the moonlight boy / Griffith and she also could only see Guts' back. Griffith is the Moonlight boy, nothing demonic about him in this dreamstate. At least that's what I would say in defence.
Edward Gaines unless Casca is still has feeling for Griffith and the moonlight boy, her mind is on Griffith and the boy, she may likely never understand the eclipse .
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
Nick Taylor its obvious Griffith/ Femto care about Casca and Guts, the Hill of Sword incident rescued of Casca was him deliberately care for someone, even the Wyald was about to killed Casca, Griffith was trying to come to the rescue mirrors to the eclipse when he sacrificed his humanity, he still have humanity for a Godhand member.
The Demon child and Griffith share a body, its nights of the full moon the Demon child takes control of the body and seeks out his parents. When the night of the fall moon ends and Griffith wakes up/takes control again he can still feel the remnants of the Demon childs feelings the loneliness is him missing his parents.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Completely agree. I can’t believe so many people are praising this video. The manga was only 80% finished. This is some real fart huffing nonsense for sure.
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 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.
A great author leaving us and leaving his work in a permanent cliffhanger, I fear the same may happen with George R. R. Martian in the future. Only the cliffhanging he may give us will be more painful.
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.
@@guitargangster66 I was a bit unsure when writing it tbh because although I trust his team and assistants, I'm well aware they were not the main ingredient, and the main ingredient is now missing. unless he really wrote a lot of foot notes, but still. I can't shake the feeling of uncertainty it will feel like a puzzle that can't be finished
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
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.
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.
I feel like the fandom is just saying that to cope. It's not a perfect ending at all, Guts and Casca will still be tormented forever when they die. This, among plenty of other plot points being unresolved makes it... well, simply unfinished. Not perfect.
@@isaacfaith9369 i think most of us consider it 'perfect' because it's just such a Berserk way to end. Unfair and bittersweet. Just like Guys journey, so is our experience with the ending of Berserk
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😢
i saw a great theory that the reason griffith was crying there at the end was showing that guts had beaten griffith in his own way. he didn’t kill him but instead showed griffith that after all this time, he was wrong. because every time griffith meets with guts group as the moonlight boy he can see how warming it is to be with them and griffith as he is now doesn’t have that warmth anymore. so the tear again is basically showing that he regrets his decision and wishes to have that companionship back. guts won without killing him. a perfect ending
@@CDRW24 wdym becuase of the moon child. he shares a body with the moon child. and also i said he was crying cause when he IS the moon child he sees how happy guts group is together cause they’re like a family. so i was saying he was crying cause he regretted his decision. i literally just said the same exact thing btw. but now that the story is actually continuing we can maybe see the real reason he was crying
This has to be the most ironic thing about Griffith. The guy who suppressed how he felt becoming Femto, now wants to feel again, only to get it once in a full moon. His ambitious part doesn't give him any meaning and he has to spent most of his life that way now.
@@loyalcav1575 for real, the students of his are wrong for releasing this unfinished story then saying thats the end which in turn to me makes the story hot pile of trash now because what was the fucking point of it all since griff kinda regrets shit now and guts and casca are cool with it
@@nickchappa1827 I'd say its up to interpretation. Like I don't see Guts taking this lightly but revenge isn't a main priority anymore. Griffith as Femto is still a factor here and seeing how he isn't content on just being king he's not gonna stop until there's nothing left. If his students carry on with the story it's gonna be their interpretation cause there's no way to say "Miura would definitely write it this way"
@@loyalcav1575 my favorite kinds of stories are revenge stories. I would have loved nothing more for guts to skull fuck femto to death for the things he caused but thats just me. I know tgere are people out there that think the ending is acceptable but they are cucks and they are into dudes smashing their woman right in front of them
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.
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!
He shudnt care about the views, he should care about content he likes to post. And why do u think he cares at all? This is a creative platform. Im not saying competition is bad, im just saying glory over gold.
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.
The way Guts take out all of his gear and his armor means that his journey has finally come to an end, he may have no happy ending but his long day is finally over and he can rest now. And the last scene shown Griffith is crying rather he feel emotionally for them, regret, no more purpose? Or is it because Kentaro Mirua passed away? That us the viewer up to decide and which make the manga perfect way to end the series.
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.
Here's my theory: if that's Griffith, maybe he might actually apologies for what he's done and he'll remove those mark curse that guts n casca has. And as he fades he shed tears one last time with a smile
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
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.
I was very contented with the 'end'. With everyone safe in elfheim and the appearance of the kid. It was uncannily timed right. To me that last panel was either an apology, or at least an admittance of guilt. That's enough for me. They will all just stay put, two separate worlds, Griffith won't touch elfheim.
personally I don't know if I can accept this as the ending, I may be selfish for this but I want to see Kentaro's legacy continued and final confrontation between Guts and Griffith if it be in violence or in a moment of possibly having Griffith realize the pain he's put guts and everyone through, I want to see the apostles eliminated, I want to see Guts guide moonboy safely through a harsh world so that maybe he can be the one to stop the Godhand some how, I want to see Skullknight through his mission. I am being selfish but... Berzerk should be seen to an end that would make Kentaro happy.
@@bog0006 ey bud, don’t throw that word around like it’s a toy. Especially with all the actual pedophiles out there. Especially don’t associate it with someone who did more in their life than most of us ever will.
I have no idea why so many are satisfied with this as an ending. Tons of questions left unanswered, tons of plots lines cut short. Here’s hoping to a proper conclusion.
Casca and guts shouldn’t be together anymore they really should leave that behind. The fact she can’t see him just doesn’t feel like a relationship anymore
You gave up. You NEVER give up. You should have NEVER settled for calling this an ending. You get up, dust yourself off and struggle onward. You've missed the entire point of Berserk. Even if this had been the last chapters you should have never called it quits.
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.
