![Top Ten Disturbing Moments in Berserk [zegodhand reupload]](/img/n.gif)
Feels weird imagining little midget Zodds flying around the battlefield
Each one screaming: "the absolute strongest"
Scarier than 1 big Zodd
If Zodd did have the ability to create Pseudo-Apostles I guess they would looks like uruk hai or minotaurs that resemble Monsterly Strong warriors...
But I guess they would also have some form of Honor codes Like Zodd, and view Zodd as absolutely Boss...
@@chenli9778 I feel like he'd only use the power to make an opponent stronger. Maybe he used to do it frequently.
"Daddy ! I wanna be the very best like no one ever was !"
The Egg is a living behelit. So it makes sense that his Pseudo Apostles would be powerful, radically different from each other, .etc just as they would be if they owned their own behelit to become full-fledged Apostles.
firespinguy exactly
The "Egg Apostle" turned Mozgus and his followers into angels because it was Femto's incarnation ceremony, in which he got an actual flesh body; so everything is a mirror of the latest eclipse... including the God Hands, aka "the Angels that destroyed Gaiseric's kingdom", represented by these pseudo-apostles.
The Egg apostle is the mirror of Griffith, Casca being almost burned alive at the stake by the humans is a mirror of her being almost sacrificed by the apostles, etc etc
(too many similarities to list)
My favorite pseudo-apostle remains the Goat-man, short fight but intense; almost makes me want to watch that accursed 2016 anime just for that fight... but I know that just like the couples episodes I've watched from the 2017 one, it would probably just make me angry/sad.
Randall Flagg no you’re thinking too much into things.
The Egg of the Perfect World grants people their utmost desires. In which Mozgus and his torturers seen themselves as angels and granted them that power as well as granted the goat man his utmost desire by becoming that goat thing.
Causality caused Casca to take part there.
Even the Egg Apostle understood everyone was there for a reason and only wanted to serve itself in creating the new perfect world
Hit the nail on the head
@@c.galindo9639 - Sorry about the late answer... but I don't believe that I'm just "thinking too much into things", what I've stated is pretty much the consensus in the Berserk "hardcore" fanbase that have been dissecting this manga for decades.
(the best place to become a Berserk buff is to go full Skullknight.net)
Funfact - Rosine's "guardians" were present at the eclipse.
Hmmm, that's odd because I thought her guardians were the humans who had kidnapped Jill, which taking in timeline would be AFTER the eclipse.
Unless the psudos were different from the people who kidnapped Jill?
@@srslydoatm9251 As I went back to check, they were present when Rickert's group got attacked during the Griffith rescue moment not the eclipse.
Check this out - imgur.com/a/ZAp8p
@@Krat0s9001 Yeah it was when Skull Knight saved Rickert from Rosine and the Count. He told them to fuck off and that was that.
krat0s9001 yes it was at the same time Griffin was becoming a Godhand in his ceremony
Oh.. I’ve read the manga a couple times, watched the anime so many times; and, never noticed that!
Now I must read it again, and see if I missed anything else
Berserk had some wild shit in it up to that point, but the 'adult attack' scene was the one that really made me lay the book down and take a moment
I was like “man that was just unnecessary”
should I know what the scene was?

@@Ebola-Kun lol 2 years late but thanks for letting me know ab that channel, it is really good
This is by far the best Berserk channel on CZcams.
Ahh the Lost Children Arc. Featuring my favorite Guts art in the entire series. Miura was like magic in those chapters.
Underrated arc
The panels of Guts where his one eye is lit up and the rest of his face is blacked out...absolute chills
Egg Apostle seems like the chillest one in the series.
Let Mozgus be an angel and let that dude, who basically wanted to be a goat, be the goat.
......then again he did technically bring back Griffith tho-
he made bim vurnerable through the moonchild
I think that the ability to make a pseudo apostle is an apostolic ability in it of itself and not everyone has it. The snake guy that Guts shoots with his cannon on the face for example has the type of personality who would make minions, yet he doesn't have any as far as I remember.
Yeah, and Wyald didn't turn his troop of thugs into Pseduo Apostles, either he don't need or not willing to share his power...
Rosine's Pseudo Apostles: Ya like Jazz?
The Great Goat is still my favorite character from Berserk (alongside Locus). Not only due to his DOPE appearance but especially if you think that since the Egg is some sort of sentient behelit, his ''pseudo'' apostles are in fact true apostles who just like him, sacrificed themselves instead, using the Egg as their behelit.
Apostles are also weak to magic. When Zodd and Grunbeld went to attack Flora, one apostle was temporarily immobilized when Schierke put a barrier, and she with Serpico, who was wielding the Sylph Sword, managed to kill one.
Can all apostles make pseudo apostles? That's a good question I've never asked
Technically yes, but not all apostles are interested in making them, like Zodd the immortal
I don't know, all the apostles we've seen do it have very specific methods of doing so, and that power seems to be connected to their personallity, such as the Count creating slugs to control people, or rosine creating more elves, since she always wanted to be a child and play forever. Unless it's stated so somewhere, I personally don't see any reason why someone like Zodd could create a pseudo apostle
Yeah, but a lot of them don't have a reason to, like asura salem pointed out.
Ricado Santos no I don’t believe so as only their will and desire creates their Apostle powers.
If that was the case Wyald would be the first to introduce pseudo Apostles as he was a greedy monster who indulged in whatever he saw that fit him. He fought, raped, drank, and such with no care of being punished or whatever. Him raping women to death would be a chance at him impregnating and creating pseudo bastard children that can do his bidding but that didn’t happen.
@@c.galindo9639 That's what i was thinking, Wyald would surely make pseudos, as his own human and fearful soldiers dissapointed him
I think that often an Apostle or a Pseuo-Apostle takes a form that reflects their inner self, as that is a recurring concept in "Berserk".
Perhaps the ability to create a Pseudo-Apostle is only available to those Apostles who feel a need for kinship?
The Count was both created and ended by his feelings for his family. Rosine desperately wanted "playmates" after sacrificing her own family, Mozguz had his own misfit "family", and the Egg was likewise starved for kinship. Ganishka sought to rule, and you cannot rule if there is nobody to rule over.
Zodd, by contrast, has no such desire for companions. Wyald, as I recall, was a selfish git from the start, so he likely never had any love for anyone but himself to begin with.
I figured Zodd wouldn’t make pseudo-apostles because it would take the “intrigue” out of combat
If Zodd could or would make psuedos I could see them being minotaurs and Griffins
The Count gave what we could consider an official name for those Pseudo-Apostles or Half-Apostles. After turning Zondark into his enpowered puppet, he called him his "Daemon" (with an "a"). Because of the different wording, i am of the opinion that it is indeed their actual name. (I pronounce it like the proper name "Damon".)
Basically, "Demon" is a redundent name because it applies to all variants of Demonkind in Berserk: Evil humans; Daemons; Apostles; Angels (Godhand); The Idea of Evil. So, "Daemon" is actually a clever twist on the rules of naming.
(Also, the term "Pseudo-Apostle" was first used by Guts in a manner, the "pseudo" part in full capital with the "Apostle" part in normal, proving the term to be a nickname made up by him on the moment instead of an "official" name. It is also in character for Guts to keep with that naming afterward since he isn't really the thinking type that searches a ridiculously complex or "profound" way of naming stuff like a book of law or a scientist would.)
Another amazing video. Loving this Monster Manual series!!
Great video as always! Really love this series! Pseudos are really interesting in all the ways they can come about and their motivations. Thanks again and btw, you're almost at 3k subs! It'll happen soon! You definitely deserve more!
I feel like you would love the anime Monster, it's a bit lengthy at 72 episodes, but it's by far, the best psychological anime/manga, it has a very mature story just like Berserk
Monster is masterpiece. Check out other naoki urasawa (the creator of monster) works as well. 20th century boys, billy bat and pluto are all masterpieces.
Johan/Tenma reminds me of Griffith/Guts
I can’t find the second season anywhere I’m upset I have the first box set
This is dead ass the best berserk channel I stg
Houston Thanks man, that’s an honor
The goat guy still gets me
Pretty solid Berserk Video.
I'll catch this channel with its next uplo
I am a simple person, I see berserk and like.
Mi Sa you are a cultured person I see
@@c.galindo9639 Glad to have found another cultured person like mine here!
Mi Sa indeed
I didn't understand what pseudos were at first. Then this was at my recommended. Thank you my guy.
A Berserk D&D Monster Manual would be sick as fuck
Even if Zodd CAN make Pseudos, I believe he wouldn't do it on principle. His driving motivation is to find worthy opponents, and aside from the God Hand, only SK and Guts have been shown to even be capable of posing any serious threat to him (though I suppose other strong Apostles such as Ganishka or possibly one of the other elites in the New Band could qualify). So with all that said, he would not make pawns to fight his battles for him because it would directly oppose his personal goal. The only exception I could possibly see to this is if he made a pseudo with the express purpose of fighting it, but even then with the sole exception of the Egg Apostle pseudos have always been individually weaker than their parent Apostle.
I would say Zodd wouldn’t make pseudo Apostles as he sees himself only as a lone warrior and needs to fight to fulfill his bloodlust and to find someone formidable enough to defeat him.
Nothing in his Apostle state suggests he can make pseudos along with the other warrior type Apostles Grunbeld and such.
The Count and Rosin want followers so they need to make subjects for their own kingdom.
Perhaps even Snake King could have made pseudos but really loved exploiting and manipulating humans to do his bidding as he liked to rule amongst them.
The Egg of the World is like a Behelit itself so really it grants its pseudos what they most desire or see themselves as.
The goat head guy as some kind of all powerful being that breeds and makes followers through his lustful actions.
Mozgus and his torcherers as saints and angels which is why they grow angel like wings in their pseudo forms.
Zodd may have made Pseudo Apostles as a way to give him something stronger to fight.
@@DIEGhostfish possibly but he wouldn’t make pseudos to aid him in battle or anything of the like but I doubt he would have that ability since he is a warrior Apostle
My biggest question with Psuedos is can they be rescued/returned back to human without killing them? Obviously, it would depend on the Apostle that created them, but so far (at least from what I remember) there hasn't been a Psuedo that reverted back to human. All of them just got killed and then returned back to human corpses. Rosine's guardians, Slug Count's Zandark, etc.
I think you answered your own question. It isn't a matter of ability but of temperment. Zodd would have no use for such beings and as such would create none. Same for all the more powerful combat apostles. They have confidence in their ability to fight so why would they want to make servants? The making of servants seems to be used by those who have less confidence in their own abilities and so are more use to relying on others.
Adult attack!! That scene left me SHOOK
I love how I can go to any berserk video and look at the "Most Viewed" section of the video and its always something weird.
Some apostles have two heads, one reassembling his human form and another one with a monstrous look, maybe some apostles that have only one face are pseudos that ranked up, but can't turn others into pseudos
By your logic Zodd the Immortal, the count and the egg/behelith apostles are pseudos. Yeah, I think the best explaination here is the design choices are just that, design choices.
Peak Guts was the black swordsman arc. He was a true asshole the likes of which I’ve never seen in fiction.
After what happened to him you can’t blame him
I’m just waiting for that witch video. Talking bout best girls Schierke and Flora
Don't forget big tiddy goth witch Morda👀
Ooh wee!!! How could I forget those puppies 🐶
And Farnese I suppose
Great as always
You make good content man
Tariq ali Thank you!
In the lost chapter of berserk we see Griffith chose to use chaos and death energy around him to create whatever body he see fit, he chose to have wings, and as he saw remorse, worry and suffering as the weak part of him, that's what he lost after the eclipse. So I believe that apostles that can creat pseudo-apostles chose to have this power for whatever reasons they might have. The Egg Apostle for making a perfect world and identity for everyone, Rosine to have others to become "elves" and play with her, The Count to have...well...minions. So, other Aposles that did not choose it such as Zodd may not have It.
But, we also see that after Zodd lost his horn, the remaining one seems to have grown in compesation for the lost one. So It is also possible that their form is not fix and they can change their bodies and powers at any time. Thus, maybe Zodd and the others may not have this power now, but they can choose later to have If they want.
"This and every video I upload is NOT meant for kids and is only intended for adults." nice 'save my ass from youtube and fcc' line lmao
5:50 I'd like to _also_ offer the possibility that maybe those apostles (cept Zodd, makes sense that he doesn't give a fuck about followers) _do_ have pseudo-apostles, and they are merely in the ranks of what we consider to be the apostles. There seems to be many "squads" within Griffith's army of apostles with incredibly similar powers and transformations, which would be weird since you'd imagine that making something out of a wish and an externalization of the inner personality would lead to radically differing results (and it _does_ ). Maybe something like Locus squad of very similar function "jousting" apostles just happens to be (at least in part) a gang of his pseudo-apostles, for example, explaining why their designs and functioning differ less than when compared to the apostles as a whole.
It could be, but in Locus' lancers squad there is also the apostle that ate Guts' arm during the eclipse, which makes me believe they are indeed just other apostles with similar powers.
Until now, it appears that only few apostles with specific characteristics are able to corrupt humans into pseudos: the Count with his parasitic form, Rosine's cocoons, the Egg with his tentacles (I do not count kaiju Ganishka as he was already beyond an apostle by that time). The majority of other apostles did not seem to have similar powers or abilities, yet that inability does not seem to be related to either strength (Zodd, Gurnbeld, Ganishka were arguably stronger than e.g. the Count) or personality traits (Wyald and the snake of Koca were among the worst trash in existence, yet they had not pseudos along).
I think it might depend on the role/position you wanted/were when transforming into an apostle that gives you the choice of making pseudo ones.
Like a child, an icon of religion, a god and a king are people with concepts of influencing the masses and other people around them.
Ganishka king/god
Egg of the Perfect World, icon of a dead religion/hidden forces of a current religion
Rosine, child that influence other children and their growth
Slug Count, another king
Everyone else we see who isn't doing any type of pseudo transformation are kinda loners, soldiers where the entire thing is related to their self interests and strength.
Irvine, solo archer
Grunbeld, front line solo tank.
Rakshas, solo assasin
Snake Lord, seems like a ruler but is just a snake that is using everyone as human cattle
Keeper of the Hounds, lonely guard.
Zodd, also a solo person.
Ones that it's unknown is
Locus, he's currently a general and captain of lancers but we don't know the role he had before joining. Might not have the ability
Borkoff (guy that ate gut's hand), very little detail and might also not have the ability.
Wyald (Hard to tell if his soldiers/followers might have been transformed or strengthen by him. He does have a bit of a leader of a pack type of mentality which makes sense for the "Black Dog Knights")
There is nothing that indicates that Wyald did anything, transformation/strenght boost or else, to his black dogs; they even desert him when the Hawks go full force on them.
Wyald seems like the type to get off on the absolute terror he inflicts on his soldiers, the characters note several times that they seem to fear failing him more than death, and it takes a loooot to finally break their "spirit".
One could imagine that Wyald might not have enjoyed having basically "robots" under his command, because if they don't have a choice in obeying him or not, there is no sadistic pleasure taken by turning them into "reeks" , if you know what I mean...
On the other apostles pseudos, they might be able to but way more likely is that they don't want to, take zod for exemple, from what i picked up on his character i'd say he's too proud to depend in anyone but himself, hence he'll likely never want to criate minions, the others likely have that same principle for different reasons, or never found anyone they'll like to power up.
Great video👍
Monster summed up in a couple words:
“fodder”
I think the other apostles are *above* making pseudo apostles.
Although I’m sure they can.
Edit: when I think about it..only the mediocre (in the grand scheme) of apostles even used pseudo apostles. But the ones that were much stronger never even bothered? Like Zodd and Grundbeld, etc
Mozgus design is fucking badass
this are all so different though, in cboth in context and power, I don't know if it makes sense to lump them all together as the same thing, and I don't think just any apostle can do this, most of the apostles we see with this kind of abillity have a sense of wanting to control or wanting to belong, like most of the powers of an apostle, the power to make followers or give powers depends on personality and the wishes of the person upon transforming
Good shit homie👌
Hey man, I have been watching your videos and they show great content. I love Berserk's Art style, I based my masters on it. I however still a very casual fan as I have only really watched the 1997 anime series and even though I have seen it several times, I have yet to read the manga. I find it difficult to read comics. I was wondering if there you know of an audio version of the manga or if anyone out there has made a video narrating the manga series somewhere online?
Maybe they all can but it's easier for some than others. Rosine can cocoon people for example but perhaps Zod would have to do it in a way that may be difficult or have a low chance of success?
Perhaps some just have more individual strength, but can't create pseudo's. perhaps the Behelits are Voids way of making underlings and the others are just making their own versions.
I wonder if you could trick something like the egg of the perfect king to give you power without them knowing, or even to suck out the power of other pseudo apostles.
Very good video. Many people who actually don't read properly don't notice Mozgus and his disciples being pseudo apostles. Beyond that it made sens that the Egg Apostle helped out Mozgus and his people, because he saw a place for himself in a group full of disabled and weird looking henchman.
sense*
He didn't "help" Mozgus's disciples because he saw them as kin, dude... he turned them into angels to mirror the 5 God Hands (aka "the Angels that destroyed Gaiseric" ) from the eclipse. Femto's incarnation ceremony is a mirror of Griffith's God Hand ascension/eclipse.
It had nothing to do with the egg apostle seeing "a place for himself in a group full of disabled and weird looking henchman." , come on man ^^'
You really should re-read that arc with this in mind, you'll notice many mirror events/characters...
@@randallflagg3700 First of all, i already know the purpose of the incarnation ceremony and it being a mock eclipse. There is no doubt that what you said is true in terms of mirroring the God Hand. It also has absolutely nothing to do with Gaiseric and his city, the incarnation ceremony copies the eclipse of Femtos birth, not Gaiserics downfall, even if Mozgus speaks about him and the wise man. Beyond that you are missing the point as to WHY the egg apostle caused all that havoc in Albion . He knew his purpose, but the way causality works is fluid, the incarnation ceremony mirrored the eclipse but everything happened within its own context with its own reason. Before you tell me to re-read chek these pages of the egg apostle talking about Mozgus and his disciples.
imgur.com/a/7kW8OLW
This is the beauty of that event in terms of how it mirrors the eclipse, Mozgus' torturer didn't stab Guts in his eye because he knew he lost it during the eclipse, luca didn't hold on to nina, because she knew Guts did the same with Griffith and the egg apostle didn't transform Mozgus disciples only because he wanted to duplicate the ''5 angels''- He acively went out of his way to help them, because he thought his life could have been different if he met them.
@@tugay199156 - "It also has absolutely nothing to do with Gaiseric and his city"
I never said that it was the case, I just picked an occasion in which the God Hand was refered to as "angels", which was the form given to Mozgus's followers.
In case someone popped up to ask why anyone would call these demons "angels".
@@randallflagg3700 Got you, interpreted that wrong
I absolutely despise Rosine’s pseudo apostles.
I think Zodd just refuses to make apostles.
Like it's not his style and it's not... Honorable. Plus it takes from him being "The strongest"
Great video bruh
Imagine an army of little grumbelds. What could possibly go wrong???
Rosine thought that when she turned the children into elves she thinks she was doing a kind favor for the children since Rosine's mind got warped....
My guess is, most of the War-Demons of Falconia are Pseudo-Apostles. A great deal of them are shown to be of the same kind (or should we call it "species"?) and have an almost uniform-like constant in physical appearances. If we believe that every Apostle proper is unique, then it would make more sense for the Redshirts of the War-Demons to be Daemons.
EDIT
My bad, this seems to only apply to the PS2 video game version, which has several alterations to the manga version events.
One of the WDs literally says they were in the Eclipse, which excludes any senses for them to be "daemons"/Pseudos.
Great vid.
So ahh....can we assume that everything "below" godhanders could be destroyed with modern weaponry? Say, .50 cal machine guns and missiles n' shit? I havent read the manga, just started watching these videos because Shad (Shadiversity) mentioned the series. Nice videos btw, thanks for sharing this (fucking weird and brutal, but interesting) stuff with the youtubes.
Maybe some just can't. That's my guess. Maybe some produce pseudos another way...
Well with this in mind, now I’m expecting/hoping that Guts becomes some sort of Wolf pseudo-apostle after some final battle with Zodd and uses that form to fight Griffith. Assuming that Zodd is capable of doing that to Guts.
No that’s just awful
@@c.galindo9639 - Indeed. Miura is much better than this.
"Adult attack!"
lovely video
Why not guts being a pseudo apostle of Zod? That’s his inner beast state that’s exposed. Like Zod, guts now has beast-like power, but unlike him cannot hold his mental state.
Zodd would not grant his strength to anybody. Others have to prove their strength to him. He's not looking for followers he's looking for a worthy opponent. Someone who can match his strength or even defeat him would gain his respect.
Love the berserk vids man. Would looooove to see you give similar treatment for Tokyo Ghoul. Please lol
I do plan to read that sometime in the near future
@@RealLifeRyan That is awesome man fr fr. Have you already read it or going in blind? If the latter maybe react to the high profile chapters?
When will the last episode be uploaded
I figured Guts was Zodds psuedo in some fashion. Originally I thought Zodd was hos father or something like that.
Love your work boss. You ever think of doin some gantz videos? I'd like that
I have some reviews of the manga and the anime!
I'll look into them. Thanks
Hell yea
Can you include the mandragora Monsters in the future of this series. They were the main antagonist of the Dreamcast game if you were wondering
I know of the game but never played it. There's probably a cutscene movie version on youtube I could watch
I think when they make them they sacrifice a percentage of the power so they cannot perform at their full power for instance sod Is extremely opede and he’s not even a godhand lol But he also has no minions I think if they create them they sacrifice there power
I think the mantis and stagbeatle weren't psuedos.
Personally, Rosine and her ilk are some of the most disgusting parts of Berserk for me. Harming/perverting children is one of the most revolting and heinous evils. Innocence is one of the highest goods, one of the greatest enemies of evil; and to destroy that innocence in such a depraved way upsets me on several levels.
Romantis Anon I dunno, the nose goblin in the cave was pretty heinous
I don´t know if it is intentional or not by Miura, but is it not so that all the apostles that make pseudos are ones that have found behelits? While the demon army (including Grundbeld and Irvine) of the hawk are basically made by Griffith. Unclear though with Zodd. Did the emperor have a behelit?
What are you talking about? Grundbeld, Irvine and the others have not been "made by Griffith", they had a behelit and made a sacrifice, like every other Apostle...
Trinston was here
I wonder if it pasudo of apostle can make another pasudo of apostle
dude's literally named nosferatu, I would sure fucking hope that he at least *could* create pseudos if he wanted to
I though ZOD is an actual demon.
Zod the Demon Hercules
I think Zodd temp made Gutts his sudo during the final desert Invasion when he fought that one Commander.
He did use Zodds greatsword. That's probably all it took. As gutts could inflate his muscle like Zodds
M no
I hope you're not serious...
now i know
ganishka mentions he found power, I wonder as he went deeper into the astral world if he came across another entity that gifted him his new form. Possible another enemy to oppose the godhand?
If Zodd makde one he would just want to fight and kill his pseudo apostle lmao.
Would pseudos go to the Vortex?
Anyone that gets involved with those of darkness end up there in the end, and i imagine the feelings of fear, anger and resentment towards the monster that used them as a simple toy and also condemned them to eternal suffering are enough reason to end there
Were wyald's men pseudo apostles or just regular men?
regular Midlands prisoners scared to death by Wyald.
All i hear is sudowudo
Sure what’s another Berserk analysis video. I’ve only seen them all, each with a more and more emo fan base infecting it with creeps.
Can someone explain me what is the symbolic behind women get raped by monsters? This theme looks like the favorite one of the writer and not just these scenes, that idea is disgusting (trolls, horses, sneak-penis goat). GREAT VIDEOS BTW, VERY WELL PRESENTED. And pls i need explanation from somebody (a serious one).
Rape is disgusting? Yeah, so is torture, mass murder, enslavement... Miura doesn't shy away from the horrors of wars, and the evil humans can commit.
Also, the trolls raped women to get more littles trolls out of them.
Ah crap. Femento will create sudos of dead band of hawk members
That would be so twisted and torturous for Guts. Having to kill psuedo apostle versions of his closest friends. Just to get to attack Griffith. I would love to see it.
Alexander Stoner Griffith is smart enough to do that.I'd be interested to see that scenario
Femto is a God Hand, not an Apostle, different types of demons, different sets of rules...
@@randallflagg3700 anything is possible in the land of speculation
Dead people cant be turned into apostoles
gamergate
9:00 Considering how Lion Like Zod is, having demonic lion psuedos would be fine. But that is assuming that they reflect something awful about human and lion nature.
1) Zod would be a leader of a pride with a maimed or mauled to death brother or father.
2) his imediate psudos would be lionesses and serving his abusive whims.
3) He would be in the habit of eating the children of his lionesses that came from other fathers.........which fits into Berserk a bit too well.
So, I am imagining a story where Guts screws some Red Sonja looking lady. A story arch later she returns as one of Zod's lioness henchmen. And........lets get nuts...........have her ripped open, reveal the premature baby that Guts is most certainly the father of, and have Zod hold the baby in his mouth ready to eat it as they begin to sword fight.
BUT I HAVE NOT READ THE MANGA IN DECADES SO I AM PROBABLY WAY OFF THE MARK HERE>
Zodd is actually the cross between a lion, a bull (I believe) and another animal I believe.
Not one animal but he represents animals of great strength and symbolize a warrior which is what he sees himself as. Only someone who fights and loves war and bloodshed. Wreaking havoc, chaos, and carnage on the battlefield only fighting in search of facing the one who can defeat him
What about the pirates?
They were corrupted by the Sea God, not by an apostle.
What is Zodd? Bull, Bat, Lion man?
A chimera
Lion + goat + dragon/snake
Tenticle Ass not at all but the chimera is described by having the body parts of either a snake or a dragon and that’s in zods case for the wings and maybe the tail it’s close enough to make sense
Capybara
a lion-faced minotaur with bat wings.
In other words, a badass creature.
Me, someone who hated spoilers, is watching all these videos instead of just reading the manga lmao
Kinda dumb to rob yourself of the experience of reading the greatest manga of all times, even more if you "hated spoilers lmao"... but to each its own I guess =/
You should just go ahead and read it but you are robbing yourself of a lot of enjoyment if you are watching all these videos
I spoiled myself up to the Eclipse before I started reading and that convinced me to read it (I was insecure before but I got caught in the Golden Age dinamics). It was still an amazing experience.
@@randallflagg3700 Can't be the GOAT if it's never finished ;)
@@TheUntrainedNinja - That's debatable...
Some of the mangas considered GOAT tier aren't finished, like Vagabond, Berserk, Vinland Saga, Hunter x Hunter...
but let's hope these stories will be completed without issues.
With the next episode
(in Berserk individual bundles of pages are called "episodes"; the word "chapter" is used for a group of episodes, and then you have groups of chapters called "Arc", like the Blackswordsman arc, Golden Age, Conviction, Millenium Falcon, Fantasia... we're currently in *arc* Fantasia, Elf Island *Chapter*, episode 362)
coming *January 22* , I'm happy enough \o/
I've been reading Berserk for 20 years, so I don't really care if the pacing is slow, I trust Miura ^^
Back at the beginning on Fantasia, he told the guys at Skullknight that we were around 70% of the story, that was 12 years ago and we've moved about 5%, if we count the number of pages...
Apostle groupies club. 😂
Pseudo`s are what the name implies, a lie, or a version that appears as the true thing, yet is not it... Zodd, seeking the strongest, and having nothing but disregard for all but the strongest means in my view, that as with the eclipse, he would not have any intention of ever making pseudo`s even if he was granted incentive to do so, as no incentive is there for him but fighting the strong, and making pseudo`s aint gonna accomplish that, nor is anyone but the strong themselves able to be the incentive and then he would fight them, and not listen to them really.. Just as he told Guts, words lack elegance, force your way past... Irvine also, he aint the type to make pseudo`s, maybe he could be moved to lets say turn Sonia into a pseudo if he found her wounded and dying... He seems like an edgelord that feigns hermit-ism, but i bet he has quite some feelings behind that wnb serious mask that is his face... Sad feelings, but that said, most apostles we ``met`` were sad beings that forgot about their sadness through savagery, but that savagery was only there as they gave up what otherewise made them loving... Once faced with anything that resonated that old love in them, like the count, or rosine... They got fucked, as their brute forms kinda relied on their carnality and savagery to offer them power, but when they took a second to think and feel, they would undermine their power for long enough to be debilitated, as rosine got fucked when she tried tactics and achieving precision by human means, by slowing down, when she was already hitting the mark, but was just being blocked again and again... Wyald too was on the roll until it he started considering what might be guts` tactics rather than just taking a tree stump and obliterating everything around him and about him with it, rather than trying to find him and sabotage his tactics... That said, back to Irvine and Sonia - if he found her dying, i think it would remind him of why he ``is a lone hunter``... Of some loss and hurt that pushed him away from anyone as not to have anyone to lose.... A young sister that he lived as possibly an orphan with, and took care of her, until he lost her or by accident killed her, and in so doing sacrificed his eyesight to never rely on shaking bushes to hunt, but on some other form of sense that surpasses limits of mans eyes... Fuck do i know, i aint miura, and miura aint walking in his body around any longer to ask him...
Fuck aff. 🤣😂Zondark is cool..
could a pseudo-apostle activate a behelit and become a stronger fully fledged apostle? maybe even stronger than regular apostles?
