HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Fallen Rib
Someone find this panel, but I think its one of the most BERSERK panels in existence. In the part of the story where Grisha guys invade that city and Guts is in a ballroom, a giant mutated tiger busts in and guts like i dunno cuts it in half or something length wise and the panel is just guts doing that then everyone at the party having a reaction face.

thats berserk

I thought the most Berserk panel ever was Guts riding Zodd through a giant lightning demon sword-first. I remember reading that for the first time and going apeshit, it was so amazing.

Close! You are 6 chapters behind. There was one (1) in 2013, then four last year and now there's been a new one.

Not a single one of them deals with Guts and co. on the boat, though.

Other very Berserk pages from that chapter,

I was rereading Berserk the other day, until suddenly some terrible part of my brain felt it had reached an epiphany: Guts was cuked by Griffith. And now the thought won't go away. I fear browsing GBS has broken my brain.

I think a very poignant point in the Lost Children arc is the ending, when Guts is telling the little girl to stay away from the darkness. I'd post those pages, but I can't right now.

The Mote in God's Eye


A long time ago in this very thread I think this image inspired somebody to say "Guts really needs to hand out pamphlets or something when poo poo is about to get real."

I don't have a screencap/ gif of it, but somewhere in the Berserk anime Guts is fightin' some dudes, and there is a shot that starts inside a human torso, which is then sliced open by Guts.

That is my Berserk Img, other media entry

e: runner up is the Anime's rendition of Guts in the hundred-man battle. He takes a crossbow quarrel in the hand, and then just breaks the quarrel by making a fist to show how little fucks he gives about injury

it had lots of tits and could easily add more. also berserk is going to end at fairy island when they finally arrive in 10 years time, which is why its being dragged out. since Guts only has 2 options

I always liked the part right before that when the opponent thinks there's no way swordsman is going to cut them down with his huge sword.

You can't really call it a sword, though.

More like a huge lump of iron.

But I hate the part where the swordsman gets hit in the chest by a large, blunt object and is sent flying into a larger blunt object and then there's a close-up of blood coming out of his mouth.

What actors would you want to play the characters in live action? I can see them having Peter Dinklage play one of the God Hand. Ubik I think?

Oh, you say that now. But when you see the either CGI-extended blade or paper mache prop... the the tears and questions will flow.

I feel like the only way you could adapt Berserk to live action is to make it as much of an '80s fantasy throwback as humanly possible to reflect the movies which Miura was totally watching while planning the story (Flesh + Blood, Conan the Barbarian, Lady Hawk).

So obviously Puck would be played by Matthew Broderick.

They should modernize it, turn the Band of the Hawk into a PMC which gets incorporated into the US armed forces. Griffith purposefully leads his squad into an ambush to get everybody killed, erasing his dirty past and creating a sob story to sell his newfound political platform supported by Pentagon's military-industrial complex. Only Gregory "Guts" Smith, a sharpshooter armed with an anti-material rifle, can hope to bring him down.

I'm sure that they could do pretty much all the monsters ands special effects with modern technology and make it look great...

...expect for Guts' sword. How the hell would that work in live action without looking like the most ridiculous thing?

You could probably make a model that was light enough to move but still heavy enough that it would take enough effort to use that it would look convincingly heavy.
