You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
well that's a depressing but not entirely surprising explanation for why griffith / guts / casca have fantastic character development for a while and then all three of them stall out for a ton of chapters, followed by guts and only guts moving forwards afterwards

There was an old interview where miura talked about he was guts and his friend was griffith. Pretty good read if you can find it.

My guess is Miura's best friend and his girlfriend started boning and the ensuing drama resulted in his social circle ditching him

I'm also guessing that instead of trying to stay friends with people he isolated himself in his and others art. He definitely lost the girl that he liked to some prettyboy.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

This is super old news. This is well known. He's talked about this in documentaries years ago.

And what happened is he had a friend who he hung around and they kinda had a guts-griffith relationship. That's it. Nothing about murder or demons, silly goose.

He also said that sometimes he was the guts and sometimes the griffith, it wasn't consistent. But they'd like one-up each other and challenge each other and temporarily eclipse the other's talents and poo poo like that. Nothing crazy.

Was the relationship an eclipse, a naked bath fight, or somewhere in between. I have to know.

I had a dream where my brother recommended a series called "Griffith reads GRIFFITH!" where Melanie Griffith reads a chapter of Berserk and then does a short vblog about her reactions and impression.

That's my story.

Hey Berserk Thread. Long time no see. Just wanted to say that there's a little berserk, or should I say Hirasawa, in RUINER.

I love how it abruptly turns into a remix of Murder near the end there.

I'm pretty sure the guys who made Ruiner are big Berserk fans beyond getting Hirasawa to do one of the tracks; one of the main characters even wears a brand of sacrifice pin on her lapel.

Ruiner is pretty great by the way and you should definitely check it out!

What is Ruiner?

A stylish as hell game Devolver published, reminiscent of Hotline Miami with some other bits and a whole bunch of cyberpunk/Shadowrun design.

"RUINER is a brutal action shooter set in the year 2091 in the cyber metropolis Rengkok. A wired sociopath lashes out against a corrupt system to uncover the truth and retrieve his kidnapped brother under the guidance of a secretive hacker."

Also said character/pin

agreed, that would be incredibly lame

but I doubt very, very much there's going to be a happy ending when we're done

satisfying, maybe, but not happy
