Berserk holds a special quality that most other stories simply do not have. The story of Berserk is not just entertaining and thematic, it has the quality which changes people. From all the deep themes and messages represented and emphasized throughout the story, countless fans, myself included, have personally been touched by Guts' battles and his whole journey. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Thank you for sharing all of our stories, brother. I love our supportive community. You are now a voice for all of us, keep up the fight Struggler!
I'm going to cry. Thanks for sharing!! You're a Berserk fan and a struggler!!
My brother right there!!! Love you Doc!!!
@@vgaray92 I love you too Vic!
@@giovanniluisbarrantesl9563 thank you for your kindness. I hope by sharing my story, I encourage other strugglers to do the same.
@redx I appreciate you saying so, but I don’t feel that way about myself. Keep up the fight, Struggler! 🦾🦿🦿
If I think too deeply about what Guts has gone through, I legitimately start tearing up.
Guts went through the most awful thing any person could ever fathom. I'd say he lost everyone, but he still had his girlfriend, only she was so traumatized she wasn't herself, and he had no one to talk to. No one who understood. And with a brand, he couldn't sleep at night, and any attempt at spending time with others ultimately led to them getting hurt. He was all alone. And he lashed out like I think most of us would, in a very unhealthy way. He was furious. He took it out on apostles, but that didn't get him any closer to feeling better, and he was never going to take on a god like griffith. Things seemed hopeless, and all his anger did was push away the one person he had left.
Guts' story is beyond inspiring, because despite the worst situation, despite handling it poorly, he always took tried to move forward. Whether he'd say it out loud or not, he cared deeply about people, and putting on a scary exterior was to protect them from caring back. The man held the world on his shoulders and trudged on anyways.
When I was a teenager, I was angry at the world. Poor relationship with my dad, smoking and drinking, I couldn't find the strength to move forward. Reading berserk helped me change that.
Now I'm 28 and I just recently had to walk away from my 3 best friends who all took actions that hurt me and didn't care, and it's scary feeling like I don't have any friends I can count on. But Guts would take what life through at him and deal with it, move forward, and eventually he found his people and his purpose. I intend to do the same. Life throws shit at you, and whatever plans you make will probably get ruined. But you're still alive, and you can still make something of it all. Guts story taught me that real strength is a daily struggle to remain determined to make something better for yourself, not a facade you put on to impress people around you, like Griffith did.
Thank you for shareing
Tears are flowing again.
Tears are flowing again.
Same. God these stories are killing me.
Something from this community has inspired me in these months after Miura's death. Each of us carry a small flame, a small passion from this series. some of us use it to push through the bullshit that we face daily. Some of us use it to create. Others use it to help other people. Kinda like the reverse of the bonfire of dreams. The raging inferno that is Miura passed on a passion to all of us.
you couldn't have said it any better Ace! :)
Well said
I gave me the will to fight for my life and my happiness
RIP Kentaro!
Still can’t believe it man…..
Damn you for making me cry while eating in a restaurant.

Berserk will always have a special place in mine and many other people's hearts #thankyoumiura
I grew up in a series of boys homes and psychiatric facilities with a mental illness that at the time had no name, its now known as intermittent explosive disorder, induced by minor brain damage from a traumatic birth. This made me prone to hair-trigger uncontrollable berserker rages. I mellowed out after puberty but that's why I was dumped into the system where that and the behavioral issues made my life seem to be an unending spiraling abyss of anger,, jealousy at my "normal brother" and general apathetic and nearly sociopathic bad attitudes. I discovered Berserk with the 1997 anime and didn't have the ability to read the manga until after I was injured fighting pirates in the Navy after 9/11. Berserk taught me how to appreciate what I have, to share my dreams with others and friends can be more important than family. Rest in Peace Miura-sensei. You died doing what you loved until the very end. I am happy.
Being born with conditions like autism, asthma, really bad eczema that affected my whole body and living in a very shitty area in my city which led to some pretty traumatising experiences, life wasn’t really fun. I would consistently be alone (because I couldn’t make friends) and thinking about suicide and such. Life never got easy and I was on the edge of it all, but that’s when i read berserk and it taught me how to struggle and continue fighting despite the circumstances we’re currently in. It taught me how I have agency and how I can make my life better if I just don’t give up. this masterpiece changed my life and has made me grow as a individual. It’s also the only manga that has made me cry. I’m truly grateful for miura and his work. RIP to the greatest mangaka of all time.
I am living through really bad eczema as well and let me say, its rough sometimes. my family always was moving (due to 2 terrible father figures one who was just terrible and he left, then the second one was abusive) so we never really got to settle down.
hope you are doing good @Rayz, its good that you are still going even with all the troubles in your life.
@@donovanweideman3098 thank you very much man, i really appreciate it, and i wish the best for you bro. hopefully both of us can get thorough this and die happy. keep struggling
@@rayz1685 same to you fellow struggler.
Amazing.
@@giovanniluisbarrantesl9563 thank you
Oh hey you did feature my comment after all! Glad you made this video so me and others can reflect on each others' struggles of the past and show that we're not the only ones who felt this way about the series.
It's too sunny a day to tear up like this.
It’s a terrible day for rain.
I was prepared to hear about how people have been inspired by Berserk but not like this…….
me too
I have a father somewhat like gambino, he didn't sold me or anything but all the abuse and hardship reminds me of him. We don't talk, we don't share anything, just a stranger on street
Hopefully you are doing well and getting better
@@c.galindo9639 Thx mate, my motto in life, fuck bad people try to be one of the good ones. ++
@@mscbaranakcay6041 good for you and you’re welcome
I had written a comment before I realized that I had left my story here and was surprised I was there in the video! Thank you for sharing my story. I'm honored that I could be part of many voices... I am deeply moved. Carry on, Strugglers.... one step in front of the other, we continue on.
Berserk had the same effect on me but my story is still unfolding so I'm not ready to drop a novel on what berserk has done for me just yet I've still got a few hills to get over before I can do that, Share my story....
I just let this video play from my phone as I made breakfast this morning and basked in the good vibes. Hearing peoples' stories like this is "motivational" in a way that doesn't feel forced or contrived. It's the psychological equivalent of the smell of clean laundry.
Rest in Peace, Kentaro Miura!
And thank you for making this video, showcasing how this amazing story touched so many people, and why it's important to us.
I'm not gonna lie... I don't have stories like hundreads of others I've seen. I really enjoy and love berserk, but I never felt certain ways, unlike others. Maybe it's because im still very young, I'm on the younger side of being a teenager. But anyways, I feel like the biggest thing I have gained was to keep going and to not mess up in life. Guts makes me want to do better, to struggle on and acheivr my goals and dreams. Griffith makes me want to do the right things in life, make the right choices, and not end up like how he did at the end of the golden age (ik I will probably never be that way physically, I mean mentally and emotionally). For me I really can't explain it but, I may not have stories like having disabilities, or being suicidal. But berserk has gave me an output in life, that I hold very important. I will definitely come back to this masterpiece, If I ever feel lost.
Keep going, no matter the circumstances my fellow brothers, sisters.
#ThankYouMiura
Glad you never left
Thank you for compiling these testimonies about the effect this manga has had on people, Berserk has saved my own life in many ways. Cancer as a teenager and the disfigurement I've been living with because of it, then Crohn's disease years later and its incessant afflictions are just at the forefront of the things which have brought me to the depths of despair many times to the point of almost taking my own life. Both have had devastating life-changing impacts on me which are too many to list. But through it all Guts' struggle was and still is a blazing inspiration to keep pushing forward regardless of what hand you've been dealt, and it always will be a story of hope for me to turn to for as long as I draw breath. Thank you Miura🙏

I found out about Berserk when I was 13 or 14 through ost Forces, the soundtrack already captivated me and I wanted to know more about Berserk. I saw some Nux Taku videos about it and I knew I wanted to watch it but I heard that there was rape so I decided to watch it when I'm 18. I remmebered it in summer 2020 when I heard the same ost again so I finally decided to watch and read it. I wasn't that emotionally efffected since my fathers death, I was 8 when I lost him , since his death I never cried again and I was almost apathic to everything, but Berserk made me realize emotions and empathy make us human and vulnerable and that is ok, there will always be people who are going to use it against us but there also amazing people in our life who make us embrace our humanity. It also taught me about importance of bonds and price of ambition. I could relate to Guts, to his quiet and stoic personality, just like him I don't have an ambition and I always feel like I don't belong with other people that I'm better alone. He was always blamed for everything, always negative attention on him so he didn't know how to respond to a positive one( nice detail that once again shows how Griffith and Guts are opposites cause Griffith loved any kind of attention). I felt that because In kindergarten, elementary and highschool I was treated poorly cause of my looks, what I did or didn't do so that made me dislike positive attention too cause when I receive it I'm awkward and I don't know what to do.
Berserk changed my life and I will forever thank kentaro miura alot as it helped me get through bad times and helped me get through my high school years. I got on a brighter path because of miura #ThankYouMiura
Berserk and monster made me realize how much of a change it did
I said this on Twitter long ago to a guy called Thealmightyloli "We are all strugglers and we struggle together."
Spinal surgery in 2019 after having a seizure for the first time while driving. 4 screws and 6 nails. In 2019 February. Yeah...being 22 at the time was not a good year. 2020 didn't help either but its good to know i didn't just keel over and instead thought about the story
Edit: It was also Valentines Day.
I really miss Miura more. I didn’t know him but how much he has impacted people who don’t know him as well. Really shows how great of a person he was.
Berserk always has people move on but with Miura gone it feels almost empty. Even if he did finish the manga it would be the same way, but we have to struggle onward.
Thank you Kentaro Miura, RIP
great video, It’s amazing to see how berserk changed the lives of many people who have had it worse then me, I truly hope you guys live a happy and satisfying life to the very end. Keep struggling.
Thank you for sharing this. ❤️
Berserk is imprinted on me...
Been watching the berzerk 1990s Anime and manga reviews for 3yrs. It taught me to value myself more Guts perspective dealing with Griffiths dream. I had a habit of helping others and not valuing myself for yrs but Berzerk taught me a lot in great respect.
I'm really late to the party, but I've had a horrible life, and I've gone through so much pain, and I started playing Dark Souls 2, which led me to Berserk. I learned of what Guts went through, and I too had similar childhood trauma. It encouraged me too keep struggling, and keep going. I love Berserk so much, man
Rest in Peace, Kentaro Miura. Thank you for giving us this unforgettable experience with what time you had.
Figure I'll write my story with Berserk here, pretty harsh but consider it a vent and for context as to why I felt why I did.
I was born into an abusive family, my mother and father would pretty badly hit me. Two incidents I recall in particular was where my father put my head under the sink tap and turned it on until I was, essentially, drowning. He did this because I wouldn't go to bed, I was maybe 7-8 at the time. The second was when my mother pulled me up the stairs by my hair, this was maybe when I was 12. So my childhood wasn't great. Eventually my parents ended up throwing me out later that year and I ended up at my grandparents on my fathers side. I loved living with them, they were wonderful. Shortly after I was thrown out it turned out my mother had been fucking my fathers boss for about a year behind his back. I laughed. I mean I objectively hated both of my parents, pretty rightfully if you asked me. My mother moved away fairly shortly after to live with my dads boss, a man 20 years her senior. My dad also moved away for a bit, met another woman and got her pregnant very quickly. But the fucking worst bit was that he came back to live in the same area where I lived. I had been very clear with my grandparents I wanted no contact, but he was their son and they wanted to have contact. How FUCKING DARE THEY. Seriously. Their son was a child abuser, and I had told first hand stories of what he did - and they still wanted contact? I was so angry, and I still am, quite frankly. For people I trusted to have this opinion. Just writing this makes me physically angry. Their justification? His wife convinced him to do it. The things he did? All manipulated by her. Holy fuck did that piss me off, he took no responsibility and claimed to be a victim. That just burnt a fucking rage in me that's still there quite frankly, I don't think unless you've experienced rage and hatred like it you could ever really understand it - seeing red is probably a good description. Sure, I hated both of them, but at least she fucked off - he tried to remain in my life. He failed, I should say - whilst my grandparents did go to visit him I said that he was banned from the house, and I wanted nothing to do with him - which they did respect. I said that, honestly, if I ever saw him again, I'd kill him. Maybe not a healthy thing for a child to think, but I can't reasonably see how I could've thought any other way. I'd already believed this but this incident really solidified the idea that you always have a choice, you can ALWAYS say no, or refuse. He didn't have to put my head under that tap, he could've said no - even if we say my mother manipulated him to do it, there's certain lines you don't cross, a point at which you have to say "No. I won't." based on your own resolve.
It was around 15 or so when I got interested in Dark Souls, I'd seen it on lists with Skyrim which was one of my favorite games at the time. I played DS1 on PC, but my PC could only run it at about 20 fps, so I bought it on Xbox and got a bit obsessed. Then I saw a berserk AMV on youtube and thought it looked similar, so watched the 3 golden age movies, then I read the manga. Holy fuck did I relate to guts, man. I related to how angry he was, his suffering. There's a bit early in the manga where he tells Theresia to "Just kill herself." if that's what she chooses to do. This was such an affirmation of my belief that everyone has the right to self determination, even if it's destructive to them - but I'd never really seen any character espouse that. Typically characters aren't willing to let people act on their own lives if it's destructive.
Fuck cracks in the blade man. It is probably the best written thing I've encountered. I honestly can hardly read that chapter without almost tearing up, and I'd consider myself a profoundly unemotive person. I read it for this comment. When Godo talks about revenge, it just resonates with me - I won't pretend I'm not an angry person, but just to be... dressed down like that, to talk about how Sorrow is the root of revenge - he's fucking right. There's some lines that just resonate with me, angry as I am. "You're like a drawn sword on the battlefield." This one in particular gets me. I remember reading a study that people abused as children have higher than average cortisol in adulthood, a hypersensitivity to it, they're far easier to put into a fight-or-flight state, and that just really resonated with me. Another line that gets me "Why not run away, from war, from hatred?" This was what I was reading online on forums and such, I knew and still know that consciously that I'm not letting go of this by being angry about it, and honestly it's not healthy, he still technically is a large part of my life even if it is only angry thoughts, but when guts says "You don't understand." "No one...understands...that." in that panel of the chapter - I get it - I get it so much. It wasn't the turning point for me as it was for guts. I still feel like that quite frankly. I'm still angry. Maybe in 10 years I'll get therapy and forget all about it, but I can't imagine so.
Seeing guts soften in the later chapters, and basically forget about his quest for revenge and find friends as his new family really gave me hope. I wasn't there. I'm still not there. But by god did it make me feel good reading about Guts just doing better, and being happy. I love the scenes on the beach so much, they're just so evocative. I was actually doing fairly well at the time. Finished school, got into university.
And then, a year later, as if god couldn't help but kick a wounded man. I got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in May of 2021. I'm a young fella, my odds to get it were less than
I don’t know you, but I’m proud of you for sharing your story. It takes courage to do it in this public setting, but you’re part of an amazing community of “Strugglers” who can relate. I know you’ll grow and heal, just like Guts. Just keep going. “Struggle. Endure. Contend.”
Bro, I’m proud of you.
Thank you for shareing
I'm currently sitting on vol 2 through 5 at the moment. Just seeing the love and support for this man made me want to read it and all the things I've been told. Just seeing the worldwide love this man got made me want to read it even after it.
I found berserk at 24. Shortly after the suicide of my best friend.
Guts going through the eclipse was a parallel to what i was going through.
To this day i cannot watch/read the eclipse without crying
His slow recovery from all that trama and death is directly related to my own. I feel like I had to go through all the suffering with him and eventually end up at a better place with him.
I needed the struggler as an example to help me get through my own shit.
I just finished reading the 363rd chapter of berserk. I bookmarked this video when it first came out and saved it for when I finally finished berserk. So many emotions many. Reading Miura's extract about how he couldn't attend his friend's funeral because of covid really got me. What a special man, and what a special journey. I hope he's resting easy up there, wherever he is.
Im glad this video was made, i enjoy your content tremendously q
I know this is over a year old but I wanna add to the stories.
I found Berserk through Netflix while scrolling through the site one night. I watched the Golden age arc films without knowing Berserk was even a thing before finding the Berserk films. I was instantly interested in the world, characters and Guts as a character. And the movies got me into the Manga. During the time just like many others who shared their stories, I dealt with thoughts of suicide and depression regularly. I was in high school during the time. Like a lot of kids I was desperately trying to fit in and find my place in the world. I regularly struggled socially and making friends. I also was living at my grandma's at the time because my Mom's boyfriend was regularly abusive to her, almost on a weekly basis. There were times where I would break down crying after coming home from school. Fast forward to sophomore year, I felt like I needed to do online school because of the struggles I had in school and needed space and more time to myself. Because of going to online school my granddad, which was the one person teaching me life lessons and teaching me to taking initiative in life essentially disowned me during the years I went to online school. And from losing one of the main reasons I keep moving forward was crushing. I was at even lower point in my life and depression and suicidal thoughts were at a all time high. Along with my grandpa and grandma essentially kicking me out of the house because of my grandpa's son having job troubles and having around 6 kids, my grandpa had to make a choice and he kicked me out. I had to live at my mom's house again with her abusive boyfriend. My grandma tried to make me feel better by telling me being with my mom would be better. But it wasn't. I hated life so much during this time. I feel like I couldn't talk to friends cause I thought they wouldn't understand. And I had terrible grades because of having a over abundance of work, do to the online school not enrolling me emiditly. It took 3 months to get me into the online school and I had so much work to the point I gave up for a while. There's is much more that happened but I feel like this would be way too long if I kept going on about stories that happened. I really got through school not just because of Berserk but it was a part of why I did eventually start to care when my mom and family and friend's did nothing to help. But eventually I DID IT! I graduated high-school and the worst struggle and worst time of my life was over. I felt like I could actually do anything and seeing how the character of Guts continues to push him self to get to a goal is definitely relatable to the struggle I had to go through. Of the course the struggle is never over because now I struggle with money being out of high-school and covid now basically being gone is a much better existence then what I dealt with in school and as a teenager. I'm still looking for what I really want to do with my life but I definitely think life is looking up.
I began reading Berserk about a year ago. I had heard many great things about the series and as I was going through depression, anxiety, and OCD I felt broken inside. So I read berserk , but it actually worsened my depression seeing all the pain in gut's life. So I dropped the series...
months later I saw an image of guts towards the end of the series and that image stuck with me for a few days, I was hesitant to pick berserk back up but eventually I did. and now, after finishing the Falcon of the Millennium Empire arc, I have to say this is one of the greatest written stories I have ever experienced. Berserk isn't my favourite series, but I fully respect it and am constantly amazed by it. I am always inspired seeing Guts with his new companions. It makes me happy to see him alive and persevering.
Thank you Miura
also thank you to Masked Man for showing me this video!
Thank you for showing my stories! I could tell that you put a great care and did a good job for this video. And these stories, man, I am sobbing rn. It made me reflect on how strong you guys are and inspired me more to keep on struggling. I am happy and grateful to find your channel and this community. I hope and wishes everyone got more power to keep on struggling, just like Guts and Kentaro Miura inspired us all 🙏
Amazing video!! Thank you everyone Strugglers!! RIP Kentarou Miura and Berserk will live forever!! Incredible everyone!
Thank you for this video, dude. It's beautiful to know how many people Kentaro Miura's work has effected in such a positive way
RIP Kentaro Miura
woah. great video.
Thank you Miura for all that you've done for us, your stories have touched more people than you could possibly know. Rest In Peace, and fly high brother.
Thank you for sharing these inspiring stories. We're all Strugglers looking for our fantasia.
As a younger guy i didnt understand why i couldnt be as cool or have as many friends as this guy or that guy and i blamed the universe. When i read berserk i figured out that we all have struggles and he gave me courage to try new things in life. Especially since guts was so adventorous he inspired me to go out there and try new things so i started playing basketball.
Thank you, Miura. You've been an inspiration to so many. Many campfires continue burning brightly thanks to you.
My fellow strugglers never give up.
Beautiful. I keep to myself, but thanks to you, the other submissions, and miura, I’d like to share a summary of my story as well.
First and foremost I’m a martial artist, MMA fighter to be exact. I first “swung my sword” by training punches and kicks very early in life, as a way to cope with my mother being abused by my stepfather.
I saw myself as a product of vengeance, using my mothers abuse as fuel. My hands and feet would bleed from me training recklessly, while I had the vision of my mothers abuser as my sole focus, making a grand dream to fight in the UFC as a way to use my pain for something good as well.
I’d go on to fight over and over for the sake of proving to myself that I could fight. That I wasn’t that helpless kid anymore.
Then my mother committed suicide when I was 17. Right before I was supposed to graduate high school and start this journey to the UFC that I chased in her name.
This was my eclipse. I didn’t lift a finger for myself for a year, I just stayed in bed. I couldn’t stay there forever, I know that I am a struggler, so I went back to fighting. now without my old reason.
Then I took my first ever loss in MMA, I put up a good fight, but I got my left arm caught in a submission. My shoulder and elbow completely exploded. I’m a left handed fighter. That left arm was my sword, it was my dragon slayer, and it shattered.
I would then meet my wife, my casca, and have my little moonlight child (without all the baggage guts had gone through)
And gut’s story has given me the will to realize that my sword was never my arm itself, but the people I swung it for. I recovered, won my next/most recent fight, and I WILL get to the UFC. For the ones that are here, for the ones that are lost. I love this story so much, and I’m so happy it changed my life
I discover Berserk on July 1995, right after my father passed away.
I just be sad as a mf so berserk caught me
Growing up my father would beat me, I remember him regularly physically and verbally abusing me, I remember feeling so weak, I remember hearing my parents fighting constantly and the next day my mom was wearing a hood hiding a black eye. I've lived with a pit in my heart for a while, feeling like my only goal is to just do well in school so I can eventually leave. I eventually developed situational haphephobia, that situation was being touched by any member of my family. I didn't feel like I could trust any of them. I was eventually able to open up to my friends about this, but I still felt empty. I knew about Berserk for a while then, but I only knew it from the memes, so I checked it out and was inspired from how similar my childhood was to Guts', sure I wasn't born from the guts of a hanged woman and I didn't grow up as a mercenary, but I see how despite his childhood, Guts continues to thrive in his own way, he isn't sad, he's just always at peace, despite what has happened.
This is a classic line, and maybe a bit overused, but I think it can apply to anybody.
"Struggle, endure, contend, for that alone is the sword of one who defies death."
3rd time watching. Only a single tear this time.
Wow idk what to expect but the 1st story was captivating ❤ idk the deeper meaning until a friend of mine explained it to me and I started seem other CZcams videos as well. Thank you for this
Beautiful video, thank you!
your channel and this video is one of the best tributes I've seen towards Miura and his work.
thank you as well
I hope his staffs will pick up the series and finish it
Berserk always change my life. When I discovered berserk always watching Mojo about anime too soon too ended and they mention berserk you know it's spoiled me but I was just curious about the anime when I watched it it was really good and I really wish they would have continued the series in two years ago when my brother got the one punch Man manga I thought to myself manga,s are not that cool and so I asked my mom to take me to the bookstore to see any mangas I really like and then I saw my own eyes it was berserk manga I didn't know they have berserk manga so like grab volumes 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 14 after I got home I read volume 1 it looks very different than the anime and that manga of Berserk art style looks really cartoon as first
I'm so when I keep reading berserk I asked Mom again if I could buy another berserk manga but then the store didn't have random volumes just the same volumes that I already have and then in 2019 of December came and I got the entire series of the berserk manga and my mom got it for me that was the best Christmas gift I ever had, even though 2020 has been a tough year for all of us and it's really hard after my school was been shut down I've been doing on home all day keep reading berserk
Berserk changed my life forever and I was starting to realize that I love manga. berserk was the first manga I ever owned, but in 2021 May 20 I was getting ready to bed but then the news came kentaro Miura just passed away it was very sad I was waiting for volume 41 I know I'm not trying to be selfish but I'm still sad. kentaro Miura change my life forever to become a manga collector thank you kentaro Miura for everything I have ever read berserk R.I.R kentaro Miura you will always be in my heart❤ and I will miss you 😥😥😥
11:50 this hit me hard
My Mom has been really not in a good place this year, when I have shown her my first drawing of Griffith after watching the 1997 anime she got really fascinated by his character just as I was, even though she can be really over protective of me til this day I really hope she will read the manga for the better
I'm crying
So many thing to same.
He was younger than my dad ;-;
Kiaora cuz
😭😭😭
damn
