Nice ref! Also, it’s cray to think that ppl actually die waiting on these chapters..foreal

May we carry on their legacy! Also put F in the comments.

I know holy mother of jeezzzusss 😱😱😱😱

Why was there only 4 God hand members shouldn't there of been 5

@@williamvallespir5509 I counted 5 🤔

@@eltello773 when Griffith was added

Did you mean this version of fish and or Griffith joined ? When void joined it made 5 unless I’m bitching something here lol

Perfect.

What about Grape Tiddies as a name for her

@@calebblack1420 It certainly makes sense based on her appearance; my name was based on her resemblance to old paintings of 'The Virgin Queen' in her poofy dresses

Is your God Hand Queen Elizabeth my Million Onion Titty?

@FELIPE Augusto Rickert will take her out Pacific Rim-style with the Steampunk Jaeger he built while Guts and Co. were in Elfhelm

Very interesting theory

Same here God Hand gets new member cycle for 216 years Like did Four God Chaos

More than likely he used the moonlight greatsword and went berserk killing everything in sight untill his bones turn to dust.

Dude if he did that skull knight has reached a whole new level of cool. Like he was already the man but even cooler now

I think the economy was tough so void had to lay off the old god hand

Ever growing knowledge maybe? It represents the idea that he searched for divinity, and the eclipse represented the idea of a god, the birth of a god, similar to the God of Sea, or Genishka

Something really messed up that spreads and never let go like tentacles?

Like the seaGOD? or something like that

I thought that too, wonder what that guys story is

Also dude on Voids left might look like a Level 1 sea god from the Boat Arc. If you compare it to a tentacle you can see it ...... right?

I thought it was ganishka

Maybe god hand members become regular apostles over time

Yeah he look kinda like ganishka

I like that. Hope, even bleak hope, is always an important thing to convey to people in stories.

I mean why not considering all the shit that has happened in berserk

Can you give me quick recap from the start. Im trying catch up

@SwordSorcery2020 maybe not enough to end causality but maybe enough to set guts free

So the humans can decide their own fate? Darn, is there a media product that is not a gnostic fantasy...

SAME!!

same !!!

The Giant Eye from Goblin Slayer Abridged: WHAT!?

@FELIPE Augusto what announcement?

Like did Four God Chaos From Warhammer 40k!

Yes, the “final boss” feeling.

I'm not sure it will end with guts defeating void, it might have ended guts fail to defeat femto and the history comes into circle.

Good brad pfp

Unlikely, as Griffith/Femto is by all means and purposes the Idea's "Chosen One". Or he may pull an Anakin and ruin everything for himself (which he sorta already did by sacrificing the og band).

If they are not defeated, and instead being replaced every 1000th year or so, perhaps femto will be the last one standing? He would have to recruit 4 new godhands? Godfingers? Godlimbs? Idk.. Or do they get replaced one by one? As in 216 years void will have to go and whoever is the oldest after him takes the place as the middle finger?

I don't think it was brief. There were multiple double page spreads in this chapter. There was a ton of detail in every page.

Dam that sounds like a good possibility

What if the rise of Skullknight's old kingdom was somehow perpetrated by Void after his eclipse, like if Griffith came back and buddied up with Guts to create Falconia. It could be that Void's eclipse had nothing directly to do with Skullknight, and that is why he was so foolish to work with Void to expand his kingdom. Maybe that's how he branched out into the astral world? Then after the kingdom was established Void played betrayer and sacrificed it. That sets up the whole spiralling time thing to have Griffith as king instead of Guts, and Guts potentially stopping the next sacrifice instead of causing it?

That’s exactly what i was thinking

I guess Griffith had his second mass sacrifice when the egg gave birth to a new world / Griffith. Remember the tower of fate (I think it was called this way?) where the refugee camp was light up with the sign of the branded?

Thought the same, they looked much more interesting.

One of them (female one on the far right) is inspired by a real life statue of Diane (a Roman goddess)

@@AlecEburhard Thanks for the info man, really interesting.

yea i wanna see what they can do

@@tygersoul we don't even know what the current godhand can do, you new to berserk, bro?

Wasnt there a chapter that mentioned the old king (sk) merged the spiritual and pshysical realms in a sort of harmony? I think shierke mentioned it that a thousand+ years ago the elementals and spirits were respected until humanity turned away. Perhaps SK married a elve princess to join the realms.

@AKIRA ASMR He's also Femto vessel to connect and expand his power in the physical world, so yeah.

I think SK murdered that Elf woman in his Berserker rage

It's you from the discord

@@Gokuvsnaruto22 Yes as my part time job I am the main villain on Ryan's discord server. nice to se my fame recognized.

I compare him and GRRM a lot.

Tolkien was fun to read and is one the biggest influences of all time, but Muria is on a whole different level. Tolkien is like high school, simple world building and vanilla story telling. Muria is like 4D-5D level of intricacy

@@brunowoods9812 no offense, but Miura didn't write a cohesive universe which spanned eons starting with the literal creation of the universe on. nor create entire languages himself for the individual species in his tale, sometimes multiple languages for the different sects and variants of a single species. Miura gave us a deep, intricate world which spans so far, just over a thousand years with essentially a single spoken language. the two i would say were just as detailed in their creations. though Tolkien's is a more far reaching scope, expanding his complexity across the whole of the Legendarium, where Berserk is centered, and focused on a small band, and their lives. the way they intertwine and how they immediately effect the world around them. because if you think The Hobbit, and LotR is the whole of Tolkien's universe, than you're obviously speaking out of turn and don't know what you're talking about. those two tales together only span at best a 70 to 80 year period of time at the end of the Third Age. where as The Silmilrilian covers more than 20,000 years, from before the First Age, into the First Age across multiple ages, with a depth and complexity to it that most people can't grasp it until their third of fourth read throughs...and that is The Silmilrilian, as in pertaining to the history of the Silmilrils.

@@Jeremyhughes86 To elaborate, Tolkien himself even noted in one letter that he himself was constrained by hos own knowledge and interests when creating his world. Muira, Tolkien, Martin, MAR Barker, and Greg Stafford are all on about the same level, and which one is best is more up for reader preference.

@@EyeOfEld you're sorta making my point though. i wasn't saying one was a more complex world builder, clearly they aren't. my argument was against the notion that Miura was somehow a master of world building, and Tolkien was somehow "high school" level. the idea i conveyed is, using Berserk as an example, the complexity of this universe is compressed into a short span of time. where Tolkien expands this across eons, literally building his universe, constructing language, history, and religions in his universe. so the notion that he is somehow a grade school world builder is a clear show that the individual who believes this is not actually aware of his works. likely having read one or two of his published works, if any...and more likely taking their knowledge from the deeply flawed Peter Jackson adaptations.

@Th3Aggr3ssiv3 Cons3rvativ3 that’s kind of what I’m hoping!

@Th3Aggr3ssiv3 Cons3rvativ3 Idk, 4 godhands? I don't think even he could do that

@@axelNodvon2047 well he had Berserker armor there

@@eren7kruger129 and? Guts, with the berserker armor was just enough for grunbeld. A god hand member is hundreds of times stronger than grunbeld, let alone 4

@FELIPE Augusto he's a mentor character

Nothing is worth those breaks

I also think this will be the case. This analysis is a bit on the hyper end IMO. The glaring facts are 1. 4 God Hands between then and now are gone and 2. Skull Knight is pissed.

@@mitchgowing2336 simple and efficient, I like it

@@mitchgowing2336 I think so too , Honestly

Not just these "God hands" but Griffith. All treason must be paid with blood. Not just in this fiction world, but in real life.

We're also shown the pov part through skull knights' right eye

I also think it represents the change/differences in causality between guts and skull night which suggests guts' outcome will be different.

But Guts' true love is Griffith, as we all know. :}}}}

Was.. He is dead.

@@vicentgalvan70 Guts' true love is -Griffith- Donovan, as we all know. :}}}} _ftfy :)_

Probably not. More like they were replaced. Every 216 years

@FELIPE Augusto no shit

Bit op

@@doomguydemonkiller I think they were killed, idk by who

@@kingmaul3038 I don't believe it was Skull Knight honestly. With his recent attempts on Void during the eclipse and Femto, I don't see him having the capability to kill 4 Godhand members. It would make more sense that the Godhand members are recycled or replaced every millennium or 216 years.

The thing is wtf are we going to learn abt the berserk armor next like yea we saw the memories but what now? Is it another power up? I swear muira better not cut to griffith lmao

It was great, but it was too short! I want more

@@SomberCarlo imagine a 40 pages Griffith chapter next week, and then a 3 months hiatus lmao

@@urt1202 i dont mind seeing what griffith is doing after the next two chapters

@@urt1202 just 3 months? Brave asumption

i'm thinking maybe the way the deep astral world works is it shapes itself around according to the godhand (like how the avatar of Slan appeared as a part of Qliphoth it might just be the other way around with their actual prescence) so with a different group the landscape turns into something else? but, anything goes at this point, we'll probably learn in a couple more decades lmao

I just think the Miura has it as a theme that every time you run into these guys there’s an interesting landscape they bring. Adds to the atmosphere.

Maybe Void's equivalent of the crimson behelit was a crimson vine bracelet or something?

@@mateo0123 I had the same thought

@@mateo0123 Man, I hope we do learn more about these members of the god hand, they look so cool! Although we barely know anything from the current god hand

next next* month

I remember there was a panel that shows the bottom of the tower in that deep hole. The bottom was littered with skulls that all had the brand on there forehead. I think they were sacrifices to void

@@Bigginzz if you remember they were all in the same place the forehead thus I think it was an artifical sacrifice like that of a cult as the brand was maybe self ibflected

@@thearchvile3560 that is a very good point actually, but then that begs the question of how they know what the brand looked like to begin with

@@Bigginzz maybe by a vision like that of the white hawk

how else would griffith be rebirthed?

@@thearchvile3560 The Egg of the Perfect World was the physical vessel for Griffith's rebirth, as stated by Griffith's inner monologue at the beginning of the Falcon of the Millennium Empire arc. The Demon Fetus/Moonlight Boy was not needed for the ceremony, and in fact, offers nothing but disadvantages to Griffith.

@@thearchvile3560 what he said ^

I haven't watched Berserk in almost 20 years, let alone read the manga. I'm just here to see people talk about it. I'm actually in shock at how much better this community is in comparison to other anime/manga.

@@yadonegoofed1427 shit bro you gotta read that my man

@@yadonegoofed1427 it’s really changed if the last you’ve ever saw of berserk was the conviction or black swordsman arc it’s truly amazing and I recommend you reading it more also the community might be better because it’s more focused for a mature or Adult demographic unlike new shounen series

I don't see Skull Knight killing 4 Godhand even with the armor. Maybe he kills one and something else happens but we'll see.

Skull Knight solos 4 godhand by himself. Hmm.....

I thought the same thing, at least in regards to him killing the 4 godhand

Berserker Ultra Instinct Skull Knight confirmed.

1 of two things, either: Skull knight w/ a brand didn't die there and made it out and got his soul transferred (otherwise the brand would mean he would of been dragged away instantly) Or Skull knight wasn't there initially at the eclipse so he couldn't be branded so when he died he couldn't be dragged away.

So, listen to this. Perhaps during each 5th god hand, the struggler has the armor, he goes berserk, kills the 4 other members leaving only the 5th to create the cycle. But guts didn't have the armor creating a ripple that might end the cycle.

Nah, the armor would be far from enough to destroy just one member, let alone 4 of them

Not necessarily.. This was the end of Skull Knight..

We need to know more about Skull Knight previous power level compared to now, if it is similiar, and plus it gets on top Berserker armor at full power I would not be surprised if he managed to kill 4 God Hand members, with Void surviving thanks to it's counter abilities

@Kvothe Windrunner what? Guts didn't have the armor then?

The woman might be a merrow-elf herself, that's entirely possible, that'd be nuts. Also yes, Guts's equipment will definitely have an upgrade.

Her pendant is also a fairy winged version of the bat winged chestplate of skull knight's horse

I very much doubt SK lover survived judging with how SK gone full berserk & so far he was surprised when he manages to save Guts & Casca even though they were branded.

my thought exactly, maybe SK lover is a princess/queen of an extinct race instead? like a whole race of people being sacrificed. Also reminder that Gaiseric timeline atill have potent magics within the world.

That one is really nightmare fuel

nah still Femto/Void

Woah ok this sounds promising hope it comes up

But skull knight will die killing void, then guts will lose casca like sk. Then he will whittle down the god hand until Femto replaces them, then guts will teach someone in the berserk armor how to kill god hand members, and Guys will die killing femto. Causality

THAT WOULD BE SO FUCKING COOL

@@microwaveableselfie3421 except Casca survived the eclipse in the first place while SK's chick didn't. Causality broken. Guts and Casca are the only ones who can rebel against fate and of course the moonlight boy.

Oh lord that's true, but we have to see if that eclipse happened really 1000 years ago, because Zodd is around 300/400 years old if I'm right, so it might hint something else

Or he could have just been known as Zodd for the last 300-400 years but went by something else before that. And as a slight correction to my first comment, if Zodd was there as an apostle, then he would've had to become an apostle before this eclipse happened. It would make a lot of sense with his attire since he looks like a barbarian chieftain or something like one.

So, you've doomed him to walk the same cursed path as you.

@@jamespwnsalll yep that's exactly the one I was thinking

But if he was in the eclipse and received the sacrifice brand how did he became an apostle ?

Agreed

Ikr this was really great, as to be expected from Ryan I love his analyses. Now I just hope that Spired finally makes another vid and does it on this chapter, I might have to text him and nudge him along haha😁

ye man i've started reading random stuff and it's not like i complain about their quality or something, but when i read the new berserk chapter my eyes were so excited with the quality of the drawings

What is gizarich and where did you get the theory

I think he meant Gaeseric

its geiseric

Wasn't that pretty obvious all along tho?

Good to see Miura hasn't lost his touch

The boat was a bit of mood killer.

I could understand it in the context of the last few chapters, which have mainly been cutesy witch stuff and Griffith winning at life. But in the grand scheme of things I don't feel the story has really dipped in quality that much. I've certainly never been bored!

Ikr I completely agree idk why people think the Fantasia arc is bad even though the quality of berserk hasn’t ever gone down and so many key things are happening in this arc. People act like if there’s not an eclipse every second they can’t stay to see the story’s progression🤦🏽‍♂️ Idk where they expect to experience a better manga tho

@@berserkmaster2514 That arc is seen as bad because well, years ago having to go through that with each chapter releasing one by one in an inconsistent timeframe, it didn't feel like much was happening, perspective kept changing to the Falconia stuff when everyone honestly was just concerned about Casca getting healed and Guts seeing her. And it was a chore to get to. We also didn't learn anything new or substantial compared to this one chapter alone.

@@YungJaime73 I was honestly bored with the Griffith stuff. Nothing felt like shit was happening except for Ricket slapping him. I was more interested in the faith forest the moment they entered and wanted to know more, AND it was peaceful for Guts. But they kept fucking changing perspective Griffith and his damn cu- I mean kingdom -_-

Yeah well ..

@Pizza • 12 years ago what about it in particular? Not being snarky, just wanna know what in particular what you mean

@Pizza • 12 years ago ok, lemme try to answer and I hope it’s what you meant? With Falconia, I think it the big battle involving all the Godhand, this would be THE battle that Sonya talked about about Zodd choosing a side to basically fight with Guts as a warrior or against Fempto as a beast. I think history will repeat itself in the form of duality. Look at Gaiserick, he and Griffith attainted a kingdom, one through human means, the other through magical. Gaiserick United all the kingdoms or nations or whatever until it fell apart, with Gaiserick using his army to kill the Godhand but it fractured his empire. The same fractured empire that was wreaking havoc for 1000 years until Griffith came around. You see were I’m going? Fempto is about to unite all the empires just like Gaiserick did in the past. Void is like Griffith, he wears the torture on his face but wanted revenge like Guts. Hence why the “angels” decended. Remember all the corpses that had the brands in their foreheads? We know that’s how how brands work. So i believe they were self inflicted, to make themselves a sacrifice of their own choosing 🤔

@@DammnDeejay i disagree that history will repeat itself ,with the theme of free will vs destiny,the coments of miura that the ending isnt gong to be bleak and the conversation that the paralels are like a spiral similar but more diferent each time it will end with guts (or someone else) breaking the cicle somehow and guts not doing the same mistakes that skull knight

The biggest flaw in your analysis is The Child. If he is in anyway shape or form connected to Griffith... Well.. The Child will be the new "God" if he and the Godhand fall. Instead of the Godhand, devils in disguise of angels, you get one singular God. To me the biggest plottwist Miura has in his pocket is revealing that the child is monumentally stronger than Griffith since he was born in the astral realm, (technically he was as his physical body somehow, someway, survived the eclipse, otherwise Griffith would have no physical body ti steal from the child) he is legions more powerful with room to grow even stronger. He is the literal child of the fate defier, the death denier, the struggler, the OG himself, Guts. Guts struggled against fate. Imho, the child will *rewrite* fate. I hope I'm right. Seeing Griffiths stolen kingdom stolen from him would be... Glorious, to say the least.

The first one of the new cicle is going to be the last one at the end. It s to soon to speculate. We need to know what append to the other 4.... they died? They failed to ascend? Maybe skull boy killed them but was unable to stop the recruit of new members? For Sure this cicle is different so its new territory eaven for skull boy

Thank you! 👊

Zodd has 300 years, said so himself.

@@nailtoolofamusement I think he said that he haven't seen a fighter like Guts in these years. Only statements about his age are the legends transmitted by the mercenaries.

@@nestoreleuteriopaivabendo5415 I'll check again, but i'm fairly sure he said "in my 300 years of battles"

@@nestoreleuteriopaivabendo5415 www.readmng.com/berserk/128/all-pages Yup, "i have been in battlefields for 300 years" Unless he spent 700 years as a pacifist i'd say he can't be a thousand years old.

@@nailtoolofamusement there is a contradiction as chapter 92 page 2, Zodd told skull knight that he has "been opposing him for thousands of years". So it really isnt any concrete evidence how old zodd is.

This is lowkey hilarious
