Plot

Gutswas born from the hanged corpse of his mother and raised as amercenaryby his abusive adoptive father, Gambino, following the death of his adoptive mother, Shisu. After being forced to kill Gambino in self-defense, Guts fled his mercenary group and became a wandering mercenary. His reckless yet powerful fighting style attracts the attention ofGriffith,the leader of a mercenary group called the Band of the Hawk, which he makes Guts join after defeating him. The kingdom of Midland hires the Band to aid them in their war against the Chuder Empire, and Guts learns of Griffith's desire to rule his own kingdom and of the pendant he possesses, called the Behelit. After the demonic warrior Nosferatu Zodd spares them, he warns Guts that he will die for being Griffith's friend.

As Griffith befriends Midland's nobility and the king's daughter, Charlotte, Guts begins to develop feelings for Casca, another Hawks commander and the only female member. After overhearing Griffith confess to Charlotte that he only considers someone with their own dream as a friend, Guts decides to leave the group to find his own dream, a decision that Griffith refuses unless Guts defeats him in a duel. When Guts wins, Griffith descends into a downward spiral that culminates in his arrest after he seduces Charlotte. He loses the Behelit while being subjected to torture, and the Midland army declares the Hawks to be outlaws. Soon after, a mysterious being known as the Skull Knight warns Guts that his actions have triggered an Eclipse and, after learning of the Hawks' predicament, he rejoins them to rescue Griffith. At this time, he and Casca consummate their feelings for each other.

After rescuing Griffith, the Hawks learn that his torture has left him incapable of leading them. When Griffith regains his Behelit, it uses his blood to initiate the Eclipse, a convergence of the physical and astral realms. During the Eclipse, the Hawks encounter a quartet ofarchdemonsknown as the Godhand, who reveal that Griffith has been chosen as their fifth member and can only do so if he sacrifices his comrades, which he accepts. After being branded with sigils that mark them for sacrifice, the Hawks are slaughtered by the Godhand's Apostles—former humans turned demons who, like Zodd, gained power by sacrificing their loved ones—and only Guts and Casca survive. Griffith, who has become the fifth Godhand, Femto, rapes Casca, and Guts loses his left forearm and right eye while trying to save her; although the Skull Knight rescues them, the ordeal traumatizes Casca. After learning from the Skull Knight that the Brands of Sacrifice make them targets for beings of darkness, Guts leaves Casca in the care of the blacksmith Godo, his adoptive daughter Erica, and Rickert, the youngest member of the Band of the Hawk, who survived because he was not present at the Eclipse. After Godo gives Guts a new sword, Dragonslayer, and Rickert gives him a prosthetic left arm, Guts begins hunting the Apostles in search of the God Hand while being pursued by a demonic phantom, the Demon Child, which is in fact his and Casca's unborn child that became deformed after Femto raped her.

Two years later, having killed many Apostles and becoming known as the Black Swordsman, Guts is joined by the elf Puck, and is captured by Farnese, the captain of the Holy See Church's Holy Iron Chain Knights, who believes that Guts is a harbinger of the apocalypse. Guts escapes after saving Farnese and returns home to Godo, where he learns that Casca has wandered off. His search for her takes him to the ruined city of St. Albion, which the God Hand have prepared as the site for a ceremony to give one of their own a physical form and which has become a refuge for refugees fleeing the invading Kushan Empire's armies. Guts saves Casca from the Holy See bishop Mozgus as the souls of the dead attack the city, creating a massive Brand of Sacrifice, and is joined by Farnese, her bodyguard Serpico, and the young thief Isidro. Meanwhile, an Apostle living under St. Albion consumes the Demon Child and uses its body to restore Griffith to physical form.

After Guts fights Griffith and Zodd at Godo's home, Griffith realizes that some traces of the Demon Infant remain within him. Hoping to find a land safe from the demons and potentially heal Casca, Guts decides to travel with Casca to Puck's homeland of Elfhelm on the island of Skellig, allowing Isidro, Farnese, and Serpico to follow him out of fear that he will lose control of himself to his dark impulses, which are embodied as the Beast of Darkness within his mind, with Farnese becoming Casca's primary caretaker. Meanwhile, Griffith forms a second Band of the Hawk with Zodd and other Apostles to save Midland from the Kushan Empire, which is led by emperor Ganishka, a rogue Apostle.

Guts' party encounters the witch Flora, her apprentice Schierke and the elf Ivalera while saving a village from trolls, and Flora gives him the Berserker Armor, which increases his power but risks pushing his body beyond its limits and being consumed by his inner darkness. Flora is later killed by Apostles, and after escaping, Guts' party encounters a mysterious being they dub the Moonlight Child, who expresses affection for Guts and Casca before disappearing after the full moon passes. Meanwhile, the Skull Knight warns Guts to not abuse the Berserker Armor's power while assuring him that Elfhelm's inhabitants can heal Casca's mind. While Guts and his party secure a ship called the "Seahorse", which is captained by Farnese's fiance, Prince Roderick, to reach Elfhelm in the wake of a Kushan attack on the port city in which Guts and Zodd briefly ally to fight Ganishka in his Apostle form, Ganishka transforms into an eldritch monstrosity and causes the physical and astral realms to merge after being slain by Griffith. With the blessing of Charlotte and the Holy See, Griffith establishes the city of Falconia to provide refuge for humanity from the creatures that manifested after the realms merged.

After recruiting amerrowgirl named Isma, Guts' party reaches Elfhelm; its elf ruler, Danann, helps Farnese and Schierke in their magical training, and succeeds in restoring Casca's mind. The Skull Knight introduces Guts to the creator of the Berserker Armor and reveals his past with the Godhand and its leader, Void. The Moonlight Child later reappears; it is revealed that he is the Demon Child, who can take control of Griffith's host during a full moon. Griffith regains control of his host and abducts Casca while destroying the island's spirit tree, unleashing spirits that attack the island and cause Danann, Isma, and the other magical creatures (except for Puck and Ivalera) to disappear into the Astral Realm. As the survivors flee on the Seahorse, Guts breaks down in despair. Griffith returns to the mainland with Casca, imprisoning her in Falconia in afugueuntil she remembers her companions and attempts to escape, only to lose consciousness upon recapture. Guts is taunted by visions of his inner darkness that urge him to give in, but he passes out as Kushan warriors invade the ship and are revealed to be under the command of Silat, the leader of the Bakiraka warrior clan who Guts had previously fought, and Daiba, a magician and former servant of Ganishka. Among the soldiers is Rickert, who had escaped from Falconia along with Erica and the Kushan deserters.

The Kushan escort Guts and the rest of the party to their capital where Guts is imprisoned as a precaution. Daiba informs them that Falconia's army has appeared on the borders of the Kushan Empire and that the attack on Elfhelm is part of a wider campaign by Falconia to have Griffith rule the world. As such, Daiba orders that Guts and his party, Rodrick, the ships' crew, and Elfhelm's surviving sorcerers be placed under his command as the empire prepares for war with Falconia. As they adjust to life in the Kushan capital, Schierke remains unconscious and Guts remains imprisoned, Rodrick attends thekurultai,a meeting of the ruling Kushan clans called by the new emperor as a guest, alongside Silat and Daiba. There, Daiba informs the emperor of his experiences in Falconia, Silat asks the emperor to lead the army against Griffith. This is interrupted when Rakshas, a Kushan Apostle in the New Band of the Hawk, appears from the body of a Kushan lord. Rakshas then summons an army of trolls who start attacking the city while Silat engages Rakshas in a duel.

Production

edit

Development

edit

While briefly working as an assistant toGeorge Morikawaat 18, Miura had already planned some ideas forBerserk's development, having a dark warrior with a gigantic sword illustrated in his portfolio who would be the first conception of Guts.[5][6]Miura submitted manuscripts to ashōnenmangamagazine for about four years before working forHakusensha;however, he felt that he was not capable enough for it and they were also not interested in publishingscience fictionorfantasyworks.[7]In 1988, while working withBuronsonon a manga titledKing of Wolves,[8]Miura published a prototype ofBerserkin Hakusensha'sGekkan ComiComi.[9][10]This 48-page prototype placed second at the seventhComiComi's Manga-School prize.[11]He later submitted his work to a magazine that, at the time, "was on the verge of going under," and he was switched around between several editors before meeting his first editor.[7]The serialization ofBerserkbegan in Hakusensha'sMonthly Animal House[ja]in 1989.[9][12]Miura commented that he landed the serial as soon as he made his debut, so he never had the opportunity to receive much criticism from editors.[7]

Concept and influences

edit

Miura stated that the inspiration for the series' title was diffuse at the time of creation. He did not have information about theberserkersor the Berserker Armor (which first appeared in the 222nd chapter) planned out from the start. He chose the word, telling himself that "its mysterious aspect would stick well." Miura said that the title was connected to Guts' imagery, influenced byMad Max,further elaborating: "In short, starting from a world with a dark hero who is burning for revenge, prompts you to imagine a rabid character. When, guided by his anger, he will pour out this rage on overpowered enemies, we must insist on his fanaticism if you want to stay consistent. That's why I thought" Berserk "would make a perfect title to represent my universe."[13]According to Miura, the series'dark fantasysetting was inspired by the 1982 filmConan the Barbarianand theElric of Melnibonéseries.[14][15][16]Miura stated that he did not see dark fantasy as a genre in itself, but rather as an equivalent of general fantasy. He commented that outside of Japan the big works of fantasy, likeThe Lord of the Rings,contain dark elements, and in Japan, the fantasy genre was popularized byvideo gameslikeDragon Quest,which were aimed at children, and therefore, expurgated the dark elements, but since he received the influence from novels before that of those games, Miura "naturally turned to dark fantasy."[15][16]

Miura said thatFist of the North Star,by Buronson andTetsuo Hara,was the work that had the greatest impact on his own work,[7]helping as well to develop his art style.[17][18]Miura also mentionedanimatorand manga artistYoshikazu Yasuhikoand manga artistFujihiko Hosonoas early influences to his art style.Violence JackbyGo NagaiandGuin SagabyKaoru Kurimotoinspired the series' story and atmosphere.Ranpo[ja]by Masatoshi Uchizaki served him as a reference for his backgrounds.[17][18]Miura said that his favorite manga series wasDororobyOsamu Tezuka,and that he wanted to create a fantasy work that possessed dark, "muddy" andyōkai-like elements.[19]Miura stated that he learned the basics of storytelling fromGeorge Lucas,creator of theStar Warsfranchise, and called theeponymous 1977 filmhis favorite work.[20][21][22]Miura commented about the influence ofshōjomangaon the series, stating that it is about "expressing every feeling powerfully."[17][23]Particularly, he mentioned influence fromYumiko Ōshima,[17][23]and that the anime adaptations ofThe Rose of VersaillesandAim for the Ace!,both directed byOsamu Dezaki,inspired him to readThe Rose of Versaillesmanga and the works ofKeiko Takemiya,mainlyKaze to Ki no Uta.[16][24]

Some aspects of Guts (personality and design) were partially inspired by Miura's highschool friend and later fellow manga artistKouji Mori[ja],byMad Max'sMax Rockatanskyand byRutger Hauer's performances inFlesh and Blood,Blade Runner,The HitcherandThe Blood of Heroes.[25][7][14][13]Guts' prosthetic hand was inspired byDororo's Hyakkimaru andCobra's eponymous protagonist.[26]Kurt, the protagonist ofPygmalio[ja],byShinji Wada,and an illustration of a giant wielding a sword, featured inThe Snow Queen(Guin Sagaspin-off), inspired the size of Guts' sword, the Dragon Slayer, by mixing both characters' swords.[17][18]Miura commented that when drawing the Dragon Slayer, he wanted to emulate the effect ofKenshiro's orRaoh's (Fist of the North Star) fist "flying out from the page," but he felt that Guts' sword did not have the same feeling of weight as a fist. He wanted to convey an "extension of reality" feel to the sword, similar to the depiction of theFist of the North Star'sHokuto Shinkenmartial art, and make it believable for the readers.[27]Miura stated that "Black Swordsman" Guts was the first thing he was set on, but he did not have any idea about what his backstory would be. He focused on the character development up until around the third or fourth volume and then he would think about what brought him to revenge.[7]

Frequency

edit

Berserkis known for its frequent and often extended hiatuses,[28]which date back to late 2006.[29]Following a pause, three consecutive chapters about Guts' childhood were published from June 8 to July 13, 2012;[30][31][32]the main storyline resumed eight months later on October 12,[33][34]and the series went on hiatus after a chapter published on December 28 of the same year.[35]Miura took a break to work on his six-chapter mini-seriesGiganto Maxia,[36]andBerserkwas published intermittently from April 11 to September 26, 2014.[37][38][39][40]After a 10-month hiatus, the manga resumed on July 24, 2015,[41]and was published monthly until November 27 of the same year,[42]before entering on hiatus.[43]It was published monthly from June 24 to September 23, 2016, before entering another hiatus.[44][45][46]The manga resumed publication from March 24 to June 23, 2017,[47][48][49]and was then published on a monthly basis from December 22 of the same year to May 25, 2018.[50][51]Four months later, another chapter was published on August 24, 2018, before entering an eight-month hiatus.[52][53]Two chapters were published on April 26[54][55]and August 23, 2019.[56][57]Three chapters were published on April 24,[58]July 22,[59]and October 23, 2020, respectively.[60]The last chapter published in Miura's lifetime was released on January 22, 2021.[61]

Miura's death and series resumption

edit

On May 20, 2021, Hakusensha announced that Miura died at 54 due to an acuteaortic dissectionon May 6, leaving it undecided what would happen to the series.[62][63][64]The posthumous 364th chapter ofBerserkwas published inYoung Animalon September 10 of the same year, which was Miura's last work, and members of Miura's Studio Gaga, which consisted of him and his group of assistants and apprentices,[65][b]worked to finish the manuscript of the chapter.[67]The magazine's issue was a memorial to Miura, featuring a special "Messages to Kentarou Miura" booklet and a poster of "famous scenes" from the manga.[68][69]In the same issue, Hakusensha stated that the future of the series remained uncertain and that the staff's priority would "always be placed on him—what he would think if he were still with us."[70][67]The afterword in the manga's 41st volume (released in December 2021) fromYoung Animal's editorial staff stated that the future of the manga was still undecided.[71]

On June 7, 2022, Hakusensha andKouji Mori[ja]announced that the series would continue publication, using plans and thoughts that were relayed to Mori by Miura himself, as well asmemorandumsand character designs that Miura left behind.[72]Mori related how he had visited Miura nearly 30 years ago when the latter was drawing "the Eclipse" event ofBerserkand how his friend completed the storyline for the manga up to its last chapter that week. Mori explained that the story forBerserkhad since gone on "exactly as we discussed at the time, with almost no changes."[72]As the only person who knows the ending Miura intended, Mori agreed to continue the series and promised, "I will only write the episodes that Miura talked to me about. I will not flesh it out. I will not write episodes that I don't remember clearly. I will only write the lines and stories that Miura described to me."[72]

In a 2023 interview, on the occasion of the 42nd volume release, Mori commented that Miura "was a manga genius bursting with talent," and that "[h]e had an eagerness to see things through to the end as well as an outstanding ability to paint, conceive stories and employ narrative devices effectively." For this reason, Mori initially concluded that it would be impossible to keep the series going without Miura, but he changed his mind after meeting with the members of Studio Gaga, who had worked under Miura, to perfect the unfinished lastBerserkchapter that Miura had worked on. Mori recalled thinking, "The thought that Miura would be mad at me doing nothing motivated me to reach a decision." About his taking over from Miura in connection with the series, Mori stated that he still had mixed feelings, "It may be unforgivable for me to do it, now that Miura is no longer here," reiterating as well, "I will never add my own twist. I will simply remember and convey what Miura told me."[73]

Berserkhas continued with the credits appearing as "original work by Kentaro Miura, art by Studio Gaga, supervised by Kouji Mori".[72][65][74]The "Fantasia Arc/Elf Island Chapter" finished with chapters released from June 24, 2022,[65][75]to May 26, 2023;[76]a new story arc started on September 22 of the same year.[76]

Themes

edit

Berserkexplores a wide range of themes and topics.Free will,destiny,andcausalityare discussed within the series.[77][78][79]Humanresilienceis a recurring theme, with many characters coming from traumatic backgrounds, constantly struggling against an unjust world.[79][80]Guts struggles with destiny itself and is constantly resisting the pull ofpredetermination.[77]Griffith also embodies this idea of resilience, by chasing his dream of ruling his own kingdom, despite his lowborn origins, as well as free will, by his own decision to sacrifice the Band of the Hawk in order to achieve his dream.[79]

The series also exploreshuman natureandmorality,as characters struggle between becoming good human beings or falling into madness and evil.[81][80]Guts, at the beginning of the story, is presented as anantiherowho does not care about killing and is indifferent to people who aid him. Guts does not act in accordance with definitions ofright and wrong,he operates within a gray area. Initially he does not attempt to be heroic or protect the innocent, though his self-motivated actions sometimes do so incidentally.[82][83]However, as the story progresses, it is shown that he is in fact a person who is deeply conflicted internally.[84][85]His tragic and traumatic past, unfolded in the Golden Age arc, shows Guts as a more complex character.[86][82][80]Anne Lauenroth ofAnime News Networkwrote that Griffith is "not evil at all," but "arrogant and brutally realistic about human nature." The suppression of his own human nature would initiate his demise as the Hawk and the rise of Femto.[79]

Friendship,comraderyandhuman relationsare other explored themes.[77][16]As a child, Guts tried to build some level of friendship with his mercenary group,[87]but due to his traumatic experience with them, he lost trust in people.[88][89][90]However, through the time he was with Griffith and the rest of the Band of the Hawk, Guts formed bonds, friendships, animosities and co-dependencies, maturing as well as individual.[80][79][91][78]Miura stated that he based the Band of the Hawk on his own high school friend relationship experience.[16][28]Specifically, he mentioned that his friendship with later fellow manga artist Kouji Mori partially inspired the relationship between Guts and Griffith.[7]Jacob Chapman ofAnime News Network,wrote that through their friendship, Guts' ambitions were elevated and Griffith's were lowered, allowing both of them to consider a new future for the first time, one where they fight side by side as equals and die on the battlefield, but they reject this future out of their own personal fears, as Guts did not think he was "good enough" for a happy future and Griffith was terrified of his lofty dream crumbling into something more mundane.[92]Miura also said that the conflict between Guts and Griffith speaks about their change after having built their personalities.[16]

The Golden Age arc has been compared to aGreek tragedy.[93][94]According to Lauenroth, Griffith'shamartialies in how hecompartmentalizeshis feelings of guilt and shame that would get in the way of his dream and how he deals to repress them. His inner dialogue in his second duel with Guts, "If I can't have him, I don't care," marks the Golden Age arcperipeteia.[79]When Guts comes running to rescue him during the Eclipse, Griffith reaches his moment ofanagnorisiswith his thought: "You're the only one... who made me forget my dream."[79]

Betrayalandrevengeare major themes in the series. Guts suffered his first betrayal when Gambino sold Guts' body to another soldier for a few coins. He would eventually take revenge against the soldier, killing him on the battlefield and he later would kill Gambino as well.[80][88]Guts is in a quest for revenge after his comrades were betrayed by Griffith and sacrificed by the God Hand.[80]This desire for vengeance has been his main reason of survival.[95][83]

Religionhas been also touched in the series, mainly through the characters of Mozgus and Farnese. Miura stated that he created Mozgus based on the concept ofrigid personalityto create areligious fanaticcharacter with no flexibility.[28]Farnese is presented as the figurehead of the Holy Iron Chain Knights,inquisitorstasked with burninghereticsandwitchesat the stake.[96]After her encounter with Guts, she finds it increasingly difficult to resolve her faith with the atrocities she became party to, as Guts, inversely, takes action against something he disagrees with. Guts denounces the very idea ofprayer,claiming that the act of clasping hands only prevents people from fighting for their lives. Farnese eventually begins to reject her faith and the rigidity of her beliefs after finding out the truth about Mozgus. After the battle between Guts and Mozgus, Farnese decides to follow Guts, to find a new purpose in her life, away from her social position and the church.[97]

Critical reception

edit

Berserkhas been widely acclaimed by critics. Reviewing the first volume, Michael Aronson ofManga LifedescribedBerserkas "a curious mix of medieval barbarism, sorcery and futurist technology, combiningghouls,guns andgore.The result is beautifully rendered badass action with enough bloody violence to keep fans of the genre happy. "[224]Publishers Weeklywrote: "Berserkoffers a montage of merciless violence and thrilling action sequences in a blend of pure fantasy and graphic horror. "[225]Grant Goodman ofPop Culture Shockwrote: "Berserkredefines what is considered a well-written fantasy manga. There are few manga that come anywhere close to creating a complex tale that includes medieval warfare, magic, and horror. "[83]Reviewing the first two volumes, Greg McElhatton ofRead About Comicswrote: "it's still hard to identify what aboutBerserkbrings across such a fascination. Is it the characters? The visual look of the monsters? The little hints of a troubled past, like Guts' tattoo that oozes blood? All of the above? I'm not sure, but I do know that I'm hooked. "[226]In his review of the third volume, Daniel Briscoe ofThe Fandom Postcalled the series "a tragic story of hatred, violence, and innocence lost," adding that Miura "manages to pack so much emotion, both good and bad, next to so much violence and gore I believe is a testament to his writing and his artwork."[87]

In his review of the first six volumes, Satyajit Chetri ofRolling Stonewrote: "By the end of the fifth volume,Berserkhas morphed into a touching tale of humanity, friendship and ambition. It is less about the blood spilt and more about the choices made by the characters, the small twists that will ultimately turn friends into nemeses. "[227]Reviewing the twelfth volume, Eduardo M. Chavez writing forAnimeOnDVD,commented that despite its long-running publication, "Berserkis as shocking and unique as ever this far into the series. There are few titles out there that can sustain the level of intensity and relevance as this. "[94]In his review of the twenty-first volume, Scott Campbell ofActive Animewrote: "The deep, dark places that this manga travels to both in story and in artistic expression can be as interesting and captivating as they are horrifying," adding that there are not many other stories or manga quite likeBerserk.[228]Writing forSciFi.com,Zac Bertschy said: "Kentaro Miura has managed to create a story that's not only darkly disturbing, but also absorbing and affecting on a deeper level than most manga titles can achieve." Bertschy praised the story and character development, concluding: "Not for the faint of heart,Berserkis perfect for mature manga fans who like a little blood with their drama. "[229]

InManga: The Complete Guide,authorJason ThompsongaveBerserk4 out of four stars. He called it "[a] blood-soakedsword-and-sorceryepic with elements ofClive Barker'sHellraiser,"and wrote:"Berserk's medieval European world of mud and blood is so realistic—and drawn in such realistic detail—that when dark fantasy elements begin to intrude upon it, they do so with a slow, dawning horror. "[4]Thompson, in a review forj-pop.com,also wrote: "Despite the slaughter,Berserkdoesn't feel as amoral as it could be; our hero is a killer, but given his well-developed back story, his occasional tears of remorse seem more genuine than, say,Crying Freeman's. "[230]In another article, writing forAnime News Network(ANN), Thompson said thatBerserkstarted as "the story of a lone swordsman traveling the world fighting demons with blood and sweat," and it was later turned into a "fantasyRPGparty of heroes with a magic-user, a thief, a fighter, some elves, etc., "commenting that Miura apparently was" aiming the series at a younger age group. "Despite this, Thompson stated:" I'm still impressed by Miura's great art and his ability to create such a long storyline with so much scope and (relative to other manga, at least) so little filler. No otherseinenfantasy manga has such well-developed characters with such deep backstories, even for the minor characters. "[80]

Matt Fagaly, writing forCrunchyroll,analyzedBerserk's use ofshōnenandshōjomangatropes in the Lost Children arc (volumes 14–16), which resulted in an "entirely original and moving narrative." Fagaly commented about the arc protagonist, Jill, and her hopeful words at the end of that story, further adding: "I have never seen another Shonen or Shojo express this notion with the same audacity, depth, and idiosyncrasy asBerserk."[231]Carl Kimlinger, writing for ANN, in his review of the thirty-fifth volume, compared Guts' "monster-plagued" trip to Elfhelm to the fantasy tales ofRobert E. Howardand, in comparing the volume to the previous ones, he wrote that series dropped down a notch, although he stated that it was not a "disastrous drop," but "just the series falling back into a comfortable, classical adventure mode."[232]Brittany Vincent ofOtaku USAsaid: "Berserkis undoubtedly one of the most unique and engaging Western-style fantasies of all time. "[90]Writing forSyfy Wire,Eric Frederiksen said: "Berserkis one of the longest-running manga, and consistently one of the darkest out there, but also one of the most emotionally powerful and rewarding. "[77]Writing for Crunchyroll, Peter Fobian expressed: "Berserkis one of the most deeply personal works I've ever read, both for myself and in my perception of Miura's works. The series' transformation in the past 30 years artistically and thematically is so singular it's difficult to find another work that comes close. "[233]

Artwork

edit

Miura's artwork has been particularly praised by critics. Bertschy said that the artwork is whereBerserk"really shines," adding: "The cross-hatching work, the level of detail, it's all stunning. Every page is a work of art, each scene drawn with the outmost attention to detail and atmosphere." He compared the art to the 1950shorror comicsfromEC Comicsand found it fitting to the series' "gruesome nature." Bertschy concluded: "Miura is a fabulously talented artist and author, and future manga series by him will be met with great anticipation."[229]Thompson said: "Miura's art is one of the real attractions. The people may occasionally look funky, but castles, knights, horses, and Baroque and Romanesque trappings are drawn with detail and accuracy."[230]McElhatton wrote that he was "pretty unimpressed" with Miura's art at first, but he changed his mind after the demons appeared, stating: "Miura draws demons in such a wrong and disturbing manner that it's unsettling. That's how demons should look, of course."[226]Publishers Weeklywrote: "this work has a style characteristic of other 1980s manga, with sparse dialogue, spectacular action sequences and gritty character art. The pencil shading and use of shadows lend an ominous tone."[225]Campbell wrote: "You just can't know what 'attention to detail' means until you readBerserk—it's rare when it comes to what it has to offer to all the readers out there, so really it's no wonder that it stands out as much as it does. "[234]Campbell also commented: "The closest thing visually thatBerserkcould be compared to might beClaymore,another very good manga—but reallyBerserkis on a plain of its own. "[228]Writing forAdvanced Media Network,Serdar Yegulalp said that the artwork of the first volumes are "a little rougher and less polished than the later ones," but that after the eighth volume "there is scarcely a page that doesn't look spectacular," adding that "Miura's loving attention to detail on most any page or panel is stupefying."[235]Writing for ANN, Casey Brienza stated: "Miura's artwork is exquisite and, remarkably, drawn without the help of an army of assistants. And while he has been great right from the first page of volume one, he has improved over the many years of working onBerserk."[236]

In another review forGraphic Novel Reporter,Brieza wrote: "Unlike virtually all other commercially successful manga artists, Miura produces his artwork without assistants,[f]and the exquisite detail of thiserotic-grotesque,Dungeons & Dragons-esquehigh fantasyissues from his hand and his hand alone, "adding that it is" one that appeals to men and women alike. "[239]Carlo Santos, reviewer from ANN, wrote: "Miura's complete command of light and shadow gives every moment an otherworldly quality—this is one of the few series that can honestly claim to transport its readers to another time and place—and the attention to backgrounds is a welcome sight when so many other artists are too lazy to be bothered."[240]Kimlinger wrote that Miura's art "is among the most intricate, evocative and plain beautiful art ever to be put to page and arranged cinematically. He draws wonderfully expressive faces, awe-inspiring monsters, gorgeous armor and some of the finest gore to be found just about anywhere."[241]Chetri described Miura's otherworld featured in the first arc as "something a drug-addledMC Escherwould have painted, "also noting homages toHellraiserandH. P. Lovecraft'sCthulhu Mythos,and called Miura a "splendid storyteller whose artwork is stark and bold enough to bring the world of Guts to life magnificently."[227]Writing forIGN,Bruna Penilhas commented that Miura's level of detail in his illustrations is "impressive from start to finish," praising the design and features of his characters, adding that he was able to "perfectly illustrate characteristics and feelings such as pain, anger and sadness."[242]Alex Traub fromThe New York Timescommented about the comparison of Miura's drawings toHieronymus Bosch's paintings, particularly for Miura's images of "little human figures occupying sweeping fantastical landscapes," adding: "Mr. Miura was known for his spectacular, apocalyptic style; specific images—a humongous sword, a monster cloaked in shadow—are immediately recognizable to his fans."[243]

Legacy

edit

Berserkis regarded as one of the most influentialdark fantasyworks.[244][245][246][247]Peter Fobian, in an essay of the legacy and impact ofBerserk,called it a "monolith not only for anime and manga, but also fantasy literature, video games, you name it," comparing its level of influence toBlade Runner,further adding: "it's difficult to imagine what the world might look like without it, and the generations of creators the series inspired."[233]

According to writer and editor Kazushi Shimada, series likeFullmetal Alchemist,Attack on Titan,Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no YaibaorJujutsu Kaisenwould not have existed if not forBerserk.[248]Some dark fantasy manga authors who have declared influence fromBerserkincludeHajime Isayama(Attack on Titan),[249]Kazue Kato(Blue Exorcist),[250]andYana Toboso(Black Butler).[251]Other authors influenced byBerserkincludeMakoto Yukimura(Vinland Saga),[252]Yūki Tabata(Black Clover),[253]andRyōgo Narita(Baccano!andDurarara!!).[254]Adi Shankar,producer of theCastlevaniaanimated series, said in an interview that he would like to adaptBerserk,calling the "hyper-detailed beauty" of Miura's artwork a "true masterpiece",[255]while Adam Deats,Castlevaniaassistant director, stated that the show was inspired byBerserk.[243]

Critics like Gene Park ofThe Washington Postand Ramsey Isler ofIGNstated thatBerserkstarted a visual trend of characters wielding giant swords that spread toCloud StrifefromFinal Fantasy VII,DantefromDevil May Cry,andIchigo KurosakifromBleach.[245][256]

Berserkhas also inspired a number ofvideo games,including theDynasty Warriorsseries,[257][258]theFinal Fantasyseries (considerablyFinal Fantasy VIIandXIV),[257][259]theDark Soulsseries,[258]Bloodborne,[246]Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice,[260]Elden Ring,[261][262]andCapcom'sDevil May CryandDragon's Dogmaseries.[263][139][264]

Finnishheavy metalbandBattle Beasthave written songs aboutBerserk,including several on their 2013self-titled album.[265][266]When guitarist Anton Kabanen left Battle Beast in 2015, he formedBeast in Blackand continues to write songs about the series.[267]Thedeathcoreband Brand of Sacrifice released the albumGod Handin 2019. Both the band and album are hugely inspired byBerserk.[268]In 2021, deathcore bandSlaughter to Prevailreleased a music video for their song "Zavali Ebalo", which featured scenes from theBerserk1997 anime series.[269]
