"You're going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road. It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn't it? I'm sure you'll overcome this. You'll walk again ... soon."
It is such a genuine display of satisfaction. He couldn’t finish his revenge against his worst adversary but he succeeded in helping to bring back the only person he truly loved.
I cried like a baby when I reached this part of the manga, a lot of bad things happened (quite frequently, honestly) but when I saw this genuine smile I simply couldn't hold it in anymore.
We all had the mark on us one day, felling like the word was against us, but we fought trough, because we know things can get better if you at least give it a try.
@@booo8042 yeah. Even though I'm not a berserk fan, I really hate people who are openly talking trash about Miura's other passions, and some people even said (this was before Miura died): he's onto lolis or 'idols' jokingly because of the passion for that game and hence he started introducing young girl characters in the later parts of the manga, and some people in a disgusting manner, jokingly said "STOP MAKING P*DO MANGA". (I later found out that he did introduced such characters but it doesn't seem to be like it's because of the game. But even if it is because of the game, it doesn't matter). I hate people being this much open regarding talking anything controversial.
He did, but he did also say he feared not living long enough to see it through to the end. Alas what he said was true but as Skull Knight once said to Guts "Its not always a happy ending" But considering the positive things from Berserk, Casca is back despite her PTSD., The rest of Guts crew are alive and well. And Guts along with Mr.Miura can finally rest in peace.
The thing is… it isn’t, he’s gone. He’s made such an impact on me and many other’s life, it’s a devastating lost not only for Berserk fans, but for the industry in general. I know Miura’s death will leave a big mark on me going forward, but if anything we should follow Gut’s path and take to heart the lesson Miura sensei gave to us. He’ll live on forever through his work and the community that has banded together to witness this amazing journey
Day 7953; I asked a girl out who showed all the signs of being as crazy about me, and I am about her. She agreed to go on a date, but the day before (today) she ghosted me. I’ve had nothing but bad luck with women. I’ve dated 5 girls in the past 2 years of college. None would last, but instead just hurt me.
I take a different thing from it, more so that no matter what no matter how hard things get, no matter how much things get pushed against me. I need to keep fighting if I ever really want a happy life. Guts has been through literal hell and back, but he keeps fighting for his happiness.
Seeing guts with such a relaxed expression reminds me that he himself is still a person like you and me even through all that he has gone through and all that he has done
Watching this at 3:40am while having an existential crisis. I was contemplating everything about my life - my goals, family, friends, future, and past. It's been real hard lately. Harder than it should be for someone like me. Earlier this year, my girlfriend sadly died from suicide. It's been incredibly hard getting by for me. Admittedly, I'm very tired physically and mentally but listening to this fills me with hope. Guts is a comfort character of mine and listening to this theme can set my soul at ease, even if it's for a little bit. Reminds me that even though he had hundreds of enemies stacked against him, he still prevailed and now lives in peace. Fills me with hope that everything will turn out okay, even if everything is stacked against me atm. Thanks Miura for creating such an amazing universe with diverse and amazing characters. You've helped many people, including myself. And to whomever is reading this, stay safe. If you're going through any sort of hardships, you can make it. Edit: I didn't really expect my comment to be seen amongst all the other comments made on this video. And for that, I'm thankful. I appreciate the responses and the likes. It makes me feel heard. Once again, stay safe all. If you're going through any internal battles, I can assure you that you're doing great. Keep pushing forward. There is always hope. Life is like a dark cave, it may be dark and appear endless, but there is always a light in darkness, and that will eventually lead you out to the end. Edit 2: Didn't expect to come back to this comment but hi, I'm back. Life did get better. The struggle was worth it. I got a job, found someone who does accept me and my traumas, improved my health, appreciate myself and more. Life isn't perfect, but it was worth hanging on. Hope everyone who commented is doing well, I wish you all the very best.
I'm sorry about your girlfriend bro, it's never fair and will never be fair. But i suppose as long as we have people besides us who have gone through something, we can rely on each other to give each other comfort. I also wish you well in whatever twist and turns life throws in your way friend.
Bro I'm so sorry to hear that 😔 that's awful I hope the best for your future I have been struggling with life myself the past year but my family keeps me going and Guts keeps me going as well
Everyone has their own journey. For me, it's been a tough life, growing up in an abusive childhood where my Mom is the only one who looked after me. We're pretty poor so we have to do what we can to get by. I'm hoping one day, things will start getting better. I like to think that a song like this would represent what my life would be if I get my own happy ever after. Somedays, I'm not so sure if I can get through of it all but I'm still hoping things get better. Wish me luck, I guess.
Life is never what it seems, you go through something new each day, albeit something small, something life changing, it doesn't really matter as the days drag on. Everything does however, seem to work out just fine, not in the way you were expecting, but in a way that you can accept with gratitude. Remember, you can't always be the best, but you can always try your best, keep charging through the days my friend, your future is bright.
I don’t know who you are but I believe you can get through this your path may be filled with hopelessness but keep fighting mate you deserve your happiness and peace, you can make it bro 💪🏽
Recently went through one of the hardest breakups in my life so far. I have everything and devoted everything to her. It’s been so hard to let go of a person that you care and love so deeply. I recent started to get back in to berserk after hearing miura’s passing. And I came to the realization that if I stop struggling and let life consume me I’m weak. So I will continue the fight and fight on till the next day. I think everything will be alright.
I think that's the painful thing about devoting yourself to someone. You can give them everything they want and things may still not work. You're right though. Things get better. Even if it's just day by day. You can still struggle and hurt, but at the end of it all they're be a point where it'll be okay
exact same boat, just a few months behind you, for me its the start of a new journey, it happened yesterday so its still raw with a lot to be worked out. There's a berserk quote that rings true "even if we painstakingly piece together something lost, it doesn't mean things will go back to how they were" and its still baffling to me how much i needed that quote to break the cycle. Fellow struggler, never stop struggling and I hope you've found some peace 4 months onwards from where I am now.
Berserk is the first piece of media I've experienced that needs to be experienced in its different formats imo. Watch the '97 anime and then read the manga to continue the journey. It's great because as you read beyond the anime, you can play the music in the background and associate it with things the composer never anticipated.
there's no any other anime that made me read the manga. back then I really hate manga because manga readers keeps spoiling everything but after finishing berserk 1997 I feel like I need to read the manga because I want to see what happened next and now it become my first favorite manga.
agreed. I watched the '97 anime adaptation and then continued on with the manga. I feel that the original adaptation was the perfect tone, style, and music to keep in mind as I read through the manga
I could see this playing when Guts moves on from his trauma caused by Griffith when the the two have their final clash and is truly free. While Griffith is alone with nothing only to reflect on how Guts was the true hawk of light the whole time or better yet the struggler of light. Guts accepted every single bad thing every single waking moment that has ever happened to him while Griffith never did once. He truly was the better man in the end what an inspiring story about life holy fucking shit. Rip Miura
Just finished all of Berserk and I am more satisfied than I thought I would be, it's gotta be my favorite thing out there. I'll be okay if nothing more comes from this, disappointed but I'll be okay. (Spoilers Below) Griffith got his kingdom, Casca got her sanity, and Guts n' the Gang are safe on a perfect magic island, suspicions about Skull Knight's origin have been confirmed and all along the way was an endlessly entertaining and fulfilling story. In the final pages, the mage tells Guts the choice he's known this whole journey, Let your rage consume you whole (obssess and go after Griffith) or let it be the breath to keep you alive (move on). The very final page is the Moonlight Child coming to see Guts, it's never been confirmed that the child is the son of Guts and Casca but it all seems too perfect. On an Island that has the abilities to deal with all the evil affecting Guts and Casca, would be the perfect place to live a normal life, and in time I imagine both their minds could heal enough that they could love each other again, and maybe even raise a new member of their family that we've come to know and love.
it is confirmed isnt it? When the baby fetus was born the Skull Knight said something like "Oh so its yours" to Guts. And the Egg of Perfect World consumed it to give Griffith a new body, so its now part of him, which is why he transforms into Moonlight Child every month, which we saw happening in one of the latest chapters.
Haha grifith being thé King of the world kinda disappoints me, but yes guts case, for who life has been so cruel, getting some peace is something wonderful... And at thé end of the Day, gut's is definitly the Kind of person who can enjoy thé simple pleasure of life..., while Griffiths hunger for power will never be satisfied...
I believe that everything will be allright. I feel like an outcast right now in life. It seems everyone is always having fun and doing things together around my environment. I feel lost. I am kind of doing good in school but still feel left out. I dont feel stressed or depressed. I have a good family that takes care of me. But I feel like there is something missing. It's like everyone knows about a thing that I haven't been told. It creates sadness inside of me every single time before I go to sleep.I just....I just really wish I had some better friends sometimes. Being alone in my room so much is starting to burn me out mentally. I have dreams and goals laid out. I have already made some progression. Things were better before. Maybe I am overreacting I am not sure. I dont know. It feels weird. Well, a dream of mine in the nearest future is to listen to this audio with these feelings gone together with other goals fulfilled. I love Berserk. It made me feel calm. Reminded me to take it easy. I hope everybody that truly desverves real happiness achieves it. Thanks.
The struggle of life can wear somebody out, you feel alone in a world full of people, an outcast. It's important to remember that you're never truly alone, whether you're religious, whether you have true friends, whether you have family, or lovers. However, many people fail to realize, that the only person they can truly count on is themselves; find friendship in yourself, you are the only person that will always be there for you. It's difficult to understand at first, but you'll get it soon enough my friend. Keep pushing forward no matter how the days drag on, no matter how worn out you feel; keep struggling.
I'm sure you will, my friend. I used to be the same as you, aimless in life, not doing anything except studying, until all I saw was darkness. Then one night, I found my brother's old Berserk manga collection and decided to give it a shot. Finishing it make me realize how much more there is to life than just studying and taking exam. So I took up new hobbies, learnt to play guitar and drums, read some more manga, watched movies and made new friends, though it's hard, I kept on going. It's been 15 years from then, I now have a pretty good job, the salary's ok and I've got plenty of friends. I know what I typed might sound cringy, but just know that everything will be alright for you, that there is always someone out there caring for you.
Yeah, feeling the same, I'm in my last year of highschool and I feel like it's a pretty forgettable phase but at the same time I feel like i'm wasting the best period of my life, idk, hope that someday I will make memories that I will truly remember with love
Reading this comment make me realize there's many people who struggle with their life too I hope we all live our life to the fullest. Also rip to the one of the best manga author of all time miura
Came straight here as soon as I found out berserk is continuing. Rip Miura thank you I can’t wait to see your life’s work get the ending it deserved 🙏🏻
Berserk has helped me cope w my PTSD more than any other media has. The fact that Guts has been doing through so much and still keeps going forward resonates with me so hard.
I feel as though Berserk has a way of bringing people together, be it trough it's rich storytelling and art, or it's morals and messages. We all have a story to tell and we all have our own battles to fight, yet somehow it feels like we're never alone. It's like thousands of invisible hands comfort you by relating to Guts's struggle to survive and find happiness. We're all strugglers with our hopes and dreams, and in the end, Berserk was like a fire which brought us together... a bonfire of dreams...
you're gonna be alright, if everything couldn't be alright, you wouldn't be as hard as diamonds check it out you've survived this long, this feeling is only temporary it will go away my man, shine on and bright you crazy diamond
It all ends the same no matter what, but it's not about the finale, it's about what you do in between. Bad things, good things, mundane things, it's all part of life, it's something we have to accept. Live your life with no regrets, chase your hobbies, your dreams and aspirations, no matter how impossible they seem; at the end of the day you lived, and you lived life well. Sometimes you cannot be the best, but you can always try your best.
@@ShiftyWolf117 Nothing is "pointless", maybe you're giving meaning to something you don't have, instead of seeing the meaning your everyday life and struggles?
A good woman really makes a difference in a man's character, I've seen bad men turn good because of a good woman and it's such a beautiful sight to see.
Everyone faces their own eclipse at one point or another. Always be kind and respectful, You have no idea what some people are battling just to see another day.
Let us all unite here. We may not know each other but through berserk our souls have forged an unbreakable bond. In which we as warriors go to combat everyday against the struggles of life. Though as Miura's philosophy depicted in the character of Guts, says we must keep fighting. No matter how much the world brings us down, no matter how dull and nihilistic life may seem, we must strive on and keep on moving forward. For that is the true meaning of life. The philosophy of Kentaro Miura is truly spectacular and through his amazing work now lives on FOREVER in our hearts and hearts of future generations yet to read the masterpiece. Thank you Miura for bringing me back to reality and reminding of the simplicity in which we are to comply with. I never knew a Manga could change my life the way Berserk did.
"You're going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road. It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn't it? I'm sure you'll overcome this. You'll walk again ... soon. you say this guts, but.....it all hurts and leads us to difficult paths, nonetheless, we wont give up. We are the strugglers of our lives, thank you miura, your life helped me.
I'm months behind on rent. -300 in my account. New job is kicking my ass. Physical, hard labor, and I have to walk a half an hour to and from work. But it's all going to be alright. This theme is a constant reminder.
I love Berserk, its community, and you all so much, I think I'm gonna share my story. So if you would indulge me while I show you my flame in our bonfire of dreams. I was sexually assaulted in 7th grade (specifically grouped) by a female classmate. She did it constantly, almost every day. She would touch me in ways that I didn't like (specifically my sides, crotch, and stomach) and she seemed to get some kind of enjoyment out of it. After about 3-4 months of dealing with it, not really understanding what it was doing to me I asked a teacher for help because I knew that it certainly didn't make me feel good. My teacher didn't really do anything, I then reached out to my parents for help. I guess I probably didn't do a good job explaining exactly how she was touching me and the way it made me feel because they told me "she probably just likes you" (I love my parents by the way and I'm sure that if I told them more specifically what I was going through they would've helped me). I finally had enough of it and one day when she touched me I lost it and threw her on a desk and almost choked her out. I don't remember why I stopped. Maybe it was because a teacher or classmate ripped me off her, or I just stopped myself. This was about a month before school was out for summer, and I didn't really see a lot of her after that. I don't know if she transferred or whatever, but what's done is done. When I first watched Berserk 97 for the first time and I saw Guts recoil when people touched him I knew exactly what that was like. Only within the last 2-3 years (I'm 18 now) I've become okay with my own mother touching me, and I'm okay with hugging people (as long as I initiate it) but I still recoil when other people do/try to touch me. About a year ago my family and I found out that my EXTREMELY mentally ill adopted 13-year-old sister (who had been in a psych ward for half a year when she was 10) sexually assaulted my baby brother. My family and I don't know the extent of it all, but we know that it happened at least once and she pulled down his pants and groped him. Knowing what you know about me, I hope you understand that when I walked upstairs and went to her door, I was ready to fucking kill her. Bash her fucking skull in, choke her out, all that mattered is today she was gonna die. I went to go open the door... and I just couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to do it. For months I blamed myself. Saying things like "you were just too fucking weak" or "you failed your baby brother". I couldn't even look at her, let alone talk to her. The best part (to me at least) is that she knew. She even asked me one time "why do you hate me" and do you know what I said? I said, "why do you think"? I know that I shouldn't like to see her be hurt like that but for some reason, I can't bring myself to even see her as human, let alone my sister. She's in a psych ward right now, I've refused to go see her. I literally told my mom "I don't see her as my sister but if you wanna help her, fine; but to me, she belongs in the dirt." I know how sad it makes my mom feel when I say that I just don't care. How terrible of a person am I? The worst part is I can't even convince myself that I'm wrong. Am I supposed to forgive her? I took out all this anger when I lifted weights (it was almost in a masochistic way). There's a reason why I've refused to have friends get too close or get a girlfriend. I've lied to people and said that "It's to focus on myself" or "I just haven't found the right girl". All that's bullshit. The real reason is that I'm terrified, no, petrified of showing people who I truly am. The guy has the outward appearance of a strong confident man, but under the surface, there's just a lost, hurt, betrayed kid who is so scared of being a burden to others that he doesn't let anyone see any of it. I started reading Berserk in July, and it made me feel so much better. About everything, it made me less angry, less hateful, and more loving. I'd gotten to around chapter 250 (give or take I don't really remember) when Miura died. NO other death in my life has hit me harder than his, Miura's story of Gut's rage, anger, love, and struggles made me feel.. human again. I feel that I have the REAL strength to keep struggling, not just the fake kind. Because of that, I will never forget Berserk. I will never forget Miura's masterpiece of dark fantasy which taught me how to live again. I don't know if I'll ever be willing to see my sister again, let alone forgive her. I don't know if I ever truly let anybody see the real me under the facade, but what I do know is that I will never EVER stop struggling. Death will have to get me in my sleep otherwise there's gonna be a fucking brawl! Dedicated to you, Miura, may your bonfire light our dreams for eternity.
I... I literally cried You are strong, and what you are doing is completely normal given your situation A lot of time may pass until you get to "heal", but when that day comes, i hope you find peace about your situation Keep going fellow struggler
You're a very strong person even if you don't feel that way yourself, the fact that you commented this and were to able to share your traumatic experiences shows how strong you are, I am currently in the process of reading Berserk and you helped me realize just how important media and entertainment can be, so now I'll resume with reignited vigor, carry on and keep your head tall you deserve to be able to do that.
**hugs** (For whatever that's worth...you can only do so much over the internet.) I'm happy you could find something to hold on to in the darkness. You don't sound too dissimilar to Guts yourself. Wishing you all the best, friend.
‘…i’m sure you’ll overcome this, you’ll walk again, soon.’ And after a year my fellow strugglers berserk has recovered from stumbling in the road and will continue onwards, i hope everyone here does too no matter what is in the way. Your goals lie far beyond this… dont they?
It's 3 am and I can't sleep, just got the worse news of my life earlier in the day and I've been dealing with it terribly. But somehow seeing this title and listening to this song is giving me hope. I hope I get to smile the same way Guts does 🖤
im just done with life. I have been hurt and down for so long that ive reached a pinnacle of emptiness where i can finally come to terms with this pain. I cried so much today man. I cried so much.
seeing guts' ending makes me cry but at the same time it makes me happy that he reached his peaceful life. rip kentaro miura, you will be remembered forever, in our hearts.
Man I sometimes I let life’s problems feel like the death of me and then I remember we can only do as we do and continue to move forward and keep on struggling and honestly I think Berserk taught me that at a young age
I feel like I'm almost out of the hole. I've started smiling again. It's still so painful to keep going but you just have to keep going. I just wished I suffered and not those closest to me.
We all have our own struggles. We keep pushing through, and we end up better because of it. Keep living, no matter how hard life gets. Chase your dreams no matter how impossible they seem. If you haven't found your dream; keep exploring and trying new things until you do.
Life has many barriers in your way, and they don’t get any better as you look ahead, but it’s not about the barriers… it’s about the struggle of getting over them and moving on. Whether you do it alone or gain the help of others, struggle is always present in life, but what makes or breaks it is how you struggle. If you just complain, you’ll get nowhere… but if you stand up and take those steps forward, you’re feet continue to take each step… thank you Kentaro Miyura… for the masterpiece that left one of the greatest impacts…
Berserk is truly amazing. the story the art. The characters heck EVEN the 1997 animes OST is amazing. i love berserk and final fantasy both of them are grrat series and always will be my favorite guts went through alot in this series and hes a badass berserk is a 10/10 series for me.
I’m still reading berserk and when I hear his theme in between reading which has happened a few times it takes me a bit of time to connect both for being throw off after seeing him kill and hearing this but then I re-realize the amount of emotional progress he has slowly regained it feels so oddly rewarding to hear his true self and his passion towards fulfillment and being assured that his anger and attitude is all just fragments of his past that are fading away
Berserk is such a reflect of our struggling and trials that we can unite together in a single character in the form of Guts to be the symbol of all of the pain, the betrayals, and the depressing sadness and insanity he faced... May he be our reason to get better and get out of the abyss to be finally truly happy. Wish i'll get better and that whoever is reading will also find inner peace and his path
Spoilers below I mean, he did get Casca back in the end, didn't he? That's really the only thing I ever cared about. I think it's the only thing he ever cared about, too.
Yeah but she still gets massive ptsd just looking at him. In some ways that's even worse because now he's essentially her trigger for the greatest trauma in her life
@@sabosromance She did get her mind back. She is in the safest place possible to manage her memories now. She won't be shattered like she was when it first happened, and the magic users can continue to fix her brain each time it shatters, until it's just a small distant bad memory. It will be a long journey, but it is a happy ever after story (:
@@sabosromance they already set up the idea of her mind being fixable from the trauma still leftover, a happy ending is possible and will happen, even if we never get to see it
Everything’s gonna be alright bros. We’re all gonna make it, you just gotta keep trying. Day by day. Moment by moment. Every thought we have, every action we take; it all pushes us one step forward, or one step back. Know that you can do it. We all can. It may take time, and that’s okay. Continue to preserver and struggle, after all, iron sharpens iron. Remember my words when you feel down and know that these words are true. Good luck struggler and Godspeed.
I am going through a lot right now especially with mental health right now. But, if it wasn’t for Berserk I would not be the person I am today. I am deeply saddened by Muira’s loss. Berserk changed my life. God bless all strugglers.
As I start to really get into the fandom of Berserk fans, I really have become more happy and open for my future as my past was not the greatest, all I'll say is even though my past is dark, that doesnt reflect on me as the person I am today. A caring individual who loves and gives motivation to friends and family while at the same time working on myself and finding who I truly am and finding my purpose. If your struggling right now, remember, that you have come across the best fandom in the history of humanity. Be glad you've gone through another day, for the next day may be different. Love you all. 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for your kind words! When night falls around you, sometimes it's hard to wait for the sun to come back. But it does. It comes back. Every time.
Y'know it's always weird hearing about the death of someone who's content you consumed for years on end. Close enough to feel the loss, but not close enough to feel the loss as deeply as those who were actively in his life. Listening to this though, it does genuinely hurt realizing that Miura is gone.
