Berserk Chapter 372: Casca Wakes Up in the Truman Show 

For those curious, this version exists because I made a mistake in editing. Accidentally left a panel uncensored, so RU-vid cracked down on it. Age Restricted and Demonetized. This new one should be all clear. Original is Unlisted, for anyone interested in mermaid titty.

I just want Casca and Guts to be happy.

griffith can clearly only be harmed by bitchslaps hopefully rickert can make it to Guts to let him know, this brings the metal arm full circle. it's gonna be the only arm capable of a solid enough bitchslap to do some serious damage.

Reposting my theory. Griffith wants Guts to become an Apostle, possibly with the Behelit he's been carrying since Black Swordsman. Griffith might say he doesn't care about Guts anymore, but I think he does. Immensely. Even now, long after Guts first left the Hawks, Griffith can't let go of his grudge. He wants Guts back under his control. Hell, Guts walked away a SECOND time to pursue Casca when he decided that revenge wasn't worth it anymore. I bet Griffith saw that, and it set him off like nothing else. So his newest, most effective means to possess Guts is to tempt him into performing a sacrifice and becoming a beast that's instinctively obligated to serve the Godhand. If Ganishka couldn't resist the Godhand, Guts definitely wouldn't stand a chance, especially now. Casca being held at Falconia is a backup trap for Guts, just in case his collapse on Roderick's ship wasn't enough to activate that Behelit. He took Casca because he wants Guts to keep pursuing him until he has him exactly where he wants. He won't let his ambition crumble, no matter what. Any threat must go. Here's the best part, though. Despite wanting to control and possess Guts, Griffith has unknowingly let himself fall under GUTS' control, because a lot of his actions behind the scenes have been a reaction to Guts' free will. Guts was able to let go and walk away, more than once, in fact. Griffith refuses to let anything go, even now, when he has everything he wanted. This confirms the big truth between these two characters that everyone subconsciously knew, but never really put to words. The one thing that REALLY sets off Griffith. Guts was never inferior to Griffith, nor was he his equal. Guts was superior to Griffith. He was always the better man. Griffith simply can't tolerate it, and that might just be his great undoing.

How does it feel to see your favorite franchises to get better and better? - Feels good, Rich

You know this really makes you wonder, wtf is Griffith going to do if the Moonlight Child goes to Guts and not Casca the next full moon.

This whole chapter was beautifully drawn, some fantastic paneling and shots of Casca, the world tree and Griffith at the end there..Casca is strong and the truths shall be revealed to Falconia 👏💜

About Rickard, it seems his Pimp Slap was powered by Griffiths true name, Femto. During the exposition dump on the Sword Graveyard, Guts may have told him about it. Guts has not yet got the chance to learn that info iirc, that Astral beings submit to the power of their true name. And this is a fact about Rickard, never truly hating Griffith, to the point he perceives him as Femto. "I serve the White Hawk, Griffith." In a way Rickard is representation of all the Griffith apologists that dissociate the two. Thus by chance, Rickard has the proper formula to hurt him. 😂 Griffith got smacked by a kid through the power of Copium. This is hilarious. 🤣

I wonder how much Sonia actually knows. Her story about the ducks implies she thinks herself above others but she doesn't appear to be a monster like Griffith. She demonstrated some kindness to Schierke in warning her about the Kushan invasion but maybe she just sees certain people like her as special. It might explain why she thinks that Griffith's plans won't negatively affect her. It will be interesting to see what she makes of Casca. Casca was a lot like Sonia in her idolization of Griffith and she was also overlooked by Griffith and treated like a tool. Maybe seeing what happened to the last one of Griffith's tools might make some cogs turn.

Imagine if the roles between Guts and Casca were now reversed to where Guts ends up being broken while Casca has to now reach out to him & protect him until Guts can get himself out of his current mental state! 0_0

I assumed that Casca had been put into a coma like state. Having the same dream over and over Groundhog Day style. Some of her old memories slipping through, but put back on track eventually.

I believe Sonya is involved mainly because she loves comparing people to birds like Griffith, and considering Irvine seems to be her “friend” it could be possible that she and Irvine are the ones watching over “the bird” that being Casca

Guts thinking about killing himself as Casca is trying her best to get back to him. Heart breaking

My theory of why Rickert can strike Griffith is because Rickert has his humanity intact. That's his secret weapon, i think. Guts has been too traumatized and has given in to his darkness too much to be fully pure. But not Rickert. He's mostly innocent and selfless. He's the most dangerous to Griffith because he is the exact opposite of everything Griffith is.

God I love coming back to this channel and listening to all of these theories

can never go to anyone else for berserk content but this man right here. was excited for the new chapter to drop but was even more excited for this man’s insight and thoughts on the chapter. sad bro had to reupload but shit happens

finished your 21 hour vid recapping the entirety of berserk a day ago so happy this new chapter came out right after

Truly appreciate your commitment to this series. Sat through your 21hour video and absolutely loved it. Looking forward to your review on 373 and cannot wait....😊

I want to thank you Loli, for permanently cementing the voice of The Darkness from the video game as the voice of the Beast of Darkness for me.

I just wanted to thank you and show my appreciation for making vidoes over this amazing story keep up the fantastic work

I literally subscribed at the right time! Just finished your masterpiece love letter and now I am bathed in the new Beserk content! Your narration and analysis is awesome and I can't wait to finish the rest of the series together

I always thought that Casca was in a Trance during the peaceful stride until she regained her consciousness aka. woke up and then proceeded to react accordingly, since she has sorta kept her clothes while on the chair and the weird miniature house next to her... Idk it may just be a gingerbread house...

Nosferatu Zodd 👹 looks really concerned by something. I also wonder if this, this situation where he is stuck as Griffith's personal taxi driver is what a prideful warrior like him, who seeks to fight the strongest should be. Griffith want tools and see everyone as such. That can work with the demons and humans people, but Zodd? Zodd it's a warrior, first and foremost. And he it's becoming tired of this pretend fairy tale of Griffith. Things are about to become very, very interesting! 👍

Griffith doubtlessly took Casca out of rash spite. When it comes to Guts he never acts rationally. But now the question is what is he doing with her at this point. Griffith might be trying to keep the moonlight child in check by holding Casca hostage. The moonlight child seems to be Griffith's one weakness. But there's a question over its relation to Griffith. If it can affect Griffith does he affect the child in turn? Is it just a human child or can it use some of Griffith's powers? If the child can manifest any of Griffith's power then it could potentially destroy his empire in one full moon. If it is just a normal, frail child it's potentially a way to kill Griffith. Either way, Griffith needs to keep the child under check and Casca is the key to that end.

Just so excited to see more, feels like we've been on a very long journey, great video man!

TheAlmightyLoli is the the ultimate source of Berserk content. The way you analyze, ask questions, and present the manga and story details is perfect

This is my new favorite channel please keep the berserk content coming

Great video. I like the way you break down everything while not slowing down or repeating yourself and it all ends up being very entertaining as well.

SO YOU'RE TELLIN ME TIME IS A CYCLIC SPIRAL, RICKERT HAD HIS FIGHT WITH GRIFFITH, GRIFFITH MADE HIS SPITE MOVE, guts is catatonic

Dude, i really appriciate how you make your videos. Its well read and its given from a perspective of someone who is actually following the story and not trying to put 'real life' into it. You really take in all the little details that most miss. I like your take and how you share current theories and tie them to information from the past. Looking forward to the next one.

14:00 my theory is that since guts has been branded he can’t kill Griffith, but since boy genius isn’t branded he can do physical attacks

Bakiraka clan and Ricket? LET'S GO! I was always wondering about when we will get an insight of what it's happening with those guys. That slap in Griffith's face hurts more to him that he wishes to admit. Hahaha

I honestly think Griffith can't be hurt if you attack him with malice. Guts's rage for him makes Griffith untouchable. When guts beat him in a duel back in the golden age guts didn't even want to fight him he just wanted to leave. Rikert was able to slap him because he didn't hate him. Like guts said he never couldn't. Guts will have to come to terms with what has happened and level the play field by wanting to fight him for different reasons other than revenge.

Caught up with the releases on this chapter, Berserk is visceral, very very good. I like your videos too, they're the first youtube Berserk slice I've had

I just realized we may get a Zodd Guts team up and I want this so badly. The two of them SLAUGHTERING the entirety of the War Demons.

Been checking your page for this, finally got to hear your thoughts on it. Can't wait for the next video, enjoy Japan!

These videos always put a smile on my face.

I have to give the gentleman that composed the music for this particular episode a huge thumbs up! 👍 It really help set the mood 😊

Thank you for all of your work dude

My take was Griffith kidnapped Casca, all in order to protect his weakened form, when once a month he transforms into the moonlight child. Having her trapped in Falconia when he does transform, he can remain close by and safe, eliminating that potential line of attack against him.

kouji mori really knows how to throw a gutpunch. I'm all the more curious and excited how he's gonna show the inverse. Guts going apeshit and burning down Falconia perhaps? That sounds like something the BOD would be into.

The 🐐 returns!! That 97 callback was fantastic I feel it was intentional especially considering it was like an intro to the chapter being the first page

To quote the original comment I left “Berserk may be a dark fantasy series but Casca is Griffith’s beautiful dark twisted fantasy. All I’m saying is that Kanye West is gonna be the one to save her. Ye all the way”

Oh a new chapter? Guess that means its time to rewatch the full 24 hour video again 😊

Can't thank you enough for this

Thanks for bringing the story of berserk to me when all this is said and done I will sit down and personally read through all of it but until then can’t wait for the next update

The theory that I’ve liked to believe is that Griffith’s transformation into the moonlight child is involuntary. Furthermore, that Griffith specifically seeks _Caska_ upon becoming the boy. Assuming this is the case, it makes a lot of sense to keep Caska within his domain, for essentially improving his own safety. Why doesn’t Griffith kill Caska?…maybe he simply doesn’t know if that’s a good idea.

Someone theorize that Griffith wants Casca close so the Moonlight Child didn’t run away, but he might end up going to Guts

well put , i love your predictions 👏🏾

I think he wants to keep Casca close so that when he turns into the Moonlight Child, he doesn't have to go near Guts. Griffith isn't the type to turn someone into a mutant, I think instead he's just completely fucked up her memory, she's in a daze because she remembers nothing, she could have been here for a week or a year, to her, it seems like she's been here forever because the Palace is all she remembers. I imagine she relives the events on Elfhelm every night, but like a dream, the memories fade quickly and the "cutting off a dudes arm" thing was just her instincts, like when she lashed out at Guts or the thugs trying to struggle snuggle her

Really pleased with how the Berserk IP is being handled going forward. The love and respect is shining through.

I can't be the only one who was shocked by how good that water droplet looked in this chapter, very happy that Studio Gaga is getting more and more comfortable

amazing videos i love ur content

Okay, so I've got a wild theory in my mind but it kind of makes sense. What if the reason Rickert actually managed to physically hurt Griffith was because he didn't hate him? I know it sounds weird but the Godhand are eldritch beings that make all logic and sense go straight out the window anyway so maybe Femto's powers secretly make him impossible to hurt by those who hate him and obviously there's no one out there that hates him more than Guts and even the sword phasing right through him could also be explained by the weapon being embedded by the dark malice and hatred of all the demons Guts has killed over the years, making it excellent for slaying spirits and the other godhand members but useless against Femto. Not only that but I think Miura also hinted at it way back during the end of the golden age arc when Guts told Rickert "You could never bring yourself to hate Griffith". Obviously Rickert was angry enough to merit that slap but it wasn't a slap of hatred, rather one filled with sorrow and dissapointment, proving Griffith can be harmed if his assailant holds no hatred when doing so. So clearly Griffith sending his armies east is both to slaughter the Bakiraka and to kill Rickert before he figures out his secret weakness and tells everyone about it. With all this said, my prediction for the future is that, if Griffith does die at the end of the story it won't be by Gut's hand but rather by someone like Rickert or maybe even Casca, her lingering love making her unable to hate him but still willing to do what's necessary in order to save Guts.

epic as always

Looks like it’s time for re-watch my fellow strugglers.😺

I think it’d be a Shakespearean level tragedy if the brand is why guts can’t kill Griffith. I do think we will see falconia reach king giseric levels of size/influence before it falls. Griffith will be winning for a while before things come full circle, he’s literally a god riding around with a demon army and a girl that can read thoughts and see the future

My guess is that since Guts and the group now know moonlight child is the physical vessel of Griffith. He'll be vulnerable during full moon. And since moonlight child will always look for Casca, it is probably safer to kidnap Casca to Griffith's domain.. Even though it'll be very hard for anyone to be cruel enough to kill the moonlight child... but Griffith probably won't take that chance. 🤷🏻‍♂️

After watching the 21 and a half hour video I fell in love with berserk and read the whole things and I’ve been patiently waiting for you to cover the new chapter. Can’t tell you how many ppl I’ve recommended that 21 hour vid to🥲

Rewatching for rhe reupload

4:05 I think here she actually was realising that she is in a dream or having a dream, not that everything that had just happened was a dream. That's why when she touched her brand it wasn't hurting, I think that's how she figured it out. This chapter is her dreaming over and over, being aware of it too. That's also what Irvine meant by the bird being peacefully in her cage. She's being kept in a dream state of some kind.

I think the Rickert and Griffith situation has something to do with that boy who wanted to become a knight in Griffiths flash back back in golden age.

Skull Knight says that in order to fight Griffith you would have to be "a being of equal magnitude or an equal layer in the Astral Realm." So either a God-hand member or something greater. I seriously doubt this means Rickerts slap "scales" to God-Hand member-level or there's some magical secret technique to beating Griffith by simply choosing to be emotionless. I think it more likely that just like in the Golden Age when Julius slapped Griffith, he simply chose to allow Rickert to slap him as some bastardized "recompense." for sacrificing the Band.

I think the reason Rickert could hurt Griffith and Guts couldn't is potentially linked to Griffith still caring about the members of the original band of the hawk, Because when you care about people it's said you can let your guard down around them maybe that is literal in this case as such people who Griffith cares about can bypass whatever defensive ability he has but when the beast of darkness takes over Guts he becomes unrecognizable as such Griffith doesn't acknowledge him as being Guts meaning that Guts can't hurt him while the beast is in control which is also why when Guts is using the berserker armor but isn't being controlled by the beast his face is far more visible so he can take advantage of this theoretical weakness of Griffith's. On top of that it gives Griffith all the motivation to keep antagonizing Guts to provoke the beast because if I'm right no matter how strong the beast gets it simply can't hurt Griffith.

Love you dude

Thank you

Dude you blew my mind with that connection to the slap and guts not being able to even hurt grif can’t wait to see where this goes

Also another thing that I only caught on in a second watch.... Her brand did not bleed as you pointed. But the apostle that was making surveillance on her, was Irvine. He is known for long range, so clearly, he could be watching from SO FAR, that it didn't affect her brand. She may be in a remote part of the city far form where the demons are. Remember, Falconia is H U G E, and the brand only hurt when demons are dangerously close. Also something I kept thinking alongside as I watched... The way you organized this video, won't it be a bit hard when you add it to the HUGE compilations? I mean, I enjoyed as is, but I ASSUME you'll want to close of Fantasia art on it's on chunky segment and then add to the 20h plus chonky compilation.

When Grif kidnapped Casca, I was jsut "FUCK NOOO!! NOOOO!!! GUTS DONT DESERVE THIS!! FFFUUUUUCCCCCCK!!!!!" fk gonna wait for another 10 yrs before we see guts happy.. FK!

Great video

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉, Hawooooooooooooooooo, and also congrats on your upcoming trip I hope you have a blast and come back refreshed and safe. Thank you for all of this work again and again

causality is a spiral. certain events don't repeat, but they do mirror each other. when guts and co are with the kushans, they may receive correspondence from Charlotte. She might inform them about Casca's imprisonment and help them break her out like she did years ago.

Have you ever have a dream where you are just falling? I think in this chapter Casca's memories are slowly recovering. She cried because she reminded of her old comrades from the original Band of Hawks. And their ultimate fate. That's the trigger. She keeps recall memories yet unfamiliar with. When she's panicked and surrounded by soldiers, her defence mechanism Fight of Flight kicks in. The warrior muscle do the rest. I love this chapter.

It’s possible that a branded sacrifice cannot damage the one who branded him and that’s why guts can’t hurt Griffith. This was literally the only time when it was clear that Guts is actually close enough to make contact with him.

I dont think there are many characters in fiction that need a W more than guts right now

Watching for 23 hrs👍 and loved it

been waiting

The worst part is even if guts finds a way to kill Griffith he will essentially be killing his child too.

I think Grifith wants to create the fantasy that the dark hand showed him . Where casca is married to him and guts is his general .

What a Time to be alive. Yesterday was my birthday in two days to the other chapter.

I truly hope that this is the intention that Miura had because this is pretty good right now in ways I didnt expect.

I literally feel like this video dropped for me.. I just got done watching the Berserk movies, comma and I wanted to know more so I watched your 21 hour video. Then I see there is a continuation.. I knew there was talks about Miuras friend taking over didn't realize it already happened.. AND immediately went on hiatus. And there's finally a new chapjerk right after I finish your 21 hour video... Did you know that there's gonna be a new chapter after I finished this video? 😂

I have a bad feeling he's going to, y'know, her again. It's not too far fetched if you think about it.

New chapters?? Amazing!

We back 👏 Reupload

Your the best I never comment in videos but your worth it

I hope like Truman Casca finds a way to get out.

That reminds me... didn't back in the Black Swordsman Arc when the God Hand was shown for the first time, Guts tried to kill Griffith by shooting him with the arm canon by the shot was deflected by some invisible wall? Maybe Guts really can't kill him since he is branded, and those who are branded are incapable of killing those demons that cursed them... unless if he is not able to be killed by "Normal" means.

Watching this again to see what clips had to be taken out

less goooo i really wanted to watch this video

I've said it a couple different places but I'm really curious if Daiba has an important role to play. The single most world-changing event in the series, the "Great Roar of the Astral World", was caused largely because of his man-made behelit.. the other catalyst being the behelit sword of Skull Knight, who is directly aligned with Guts, Casca, Danaan, Puck with Betchi, Schierke, Farnese, and by extension Rickert, Silat, and Daiba etc. There's some absolutely insane potential power and magic aligned with the party.

Casca is about the most tragic character I can think of off the top of my head. It honestly hurts me sometimes how well written and heartbreaking her story is. Even if she somehow gets to get the revenge W she rightfully deserves with the help of Rickert and Skull Knight or something like that she'll be scarred forever.

i love the new art style

Holy shit he used Arcanum music. The nostalgia almost killed me.

My theory especially after watching your massive essay: Rickert was able to strike Griffith because for one, he has a personal connection with him and two, he wasn't marked for sacrifice. If Guts or Casca could remove the mark, they would be able to strike him down. There's been many mentions of powerful characters telling Guts to just let it go. He has 2 paths, if he fights, he might win but will lose everything. If he goes the path of peace, he doesn't get his vengeance. So with that and combined with the moon light child sharing a body, if Guts and Casca bond stronger with the child, the child will overtake the body and shut Griffith out of the physical world, maybe even permanently. If that happens, Guts, Casca, the child and the party lives in peace foe the rest of their lives while Griffith is stuck in his own Limbo. That's just my theory though. Anyone else thinking the same?

I think the theory that Sonia is helping Irvine suppress Casca's memories could be true since she did not appear in this chapter. I hope that Casca would try to escape once more to where she can encounter Charlotte, Luca or perhaps Schierke who is searching for her od. If the story doesn't continue with Guts and friends on the ship in chapter 374, I hope we see Casca escape and will not be a damsel again.

You made a lot of valid points who can say how this great will end. I hope it gets a great ending for guts and casca. One theory I like to put in why griffith took casca was because of the moonlight child within him. Griffith simply can't harm casca if anything he'll protect her from danger which is why he made a cage dreams and illusions for her to keep this weakness in check. Griffith is so powerful they have to give him some kind of flaws to lead to his defeat.

Know what I just thought about it, and Skull Knight actualy accidentally saved that one shawty from the Conviction ark while he was chasing the eyeball apostle. Rikert is the only one we actively know was trying to keep Rikert alive
