Why You Should STILL Read Berserk

Been a little while coming, right? This is the hardest video I've ever had to make.This is also some of the most I've ever enjoyed making a video. Videos like this are only possible because of the support I get on Patron, so if you’d like to kick in a dollar to help me make more stuff like this, Id really appreciate it! www.patreon.com/Supereyepatchwolf (also this video was dinged for copyright twice before it even went live so THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT… Also you can go on a date with skull knight) I want to thank my patrons for there patience and support during this video, you guys are the ENTIRE REASON I can make stuff like this. I cannot over state how weird the idea that people are finally going to watch this video is to me, but I really hope you get something out of it. I am wiped. Im going to go eat pizza, and watch wrestlemania, and sleep for two days.

It's unbelievable how Berserk is missing a third of its story and still manages to be one of the best stories I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Rest in peace to the true legend, Kentaro Miura.

For those bummed about the Manga never reaching the end... Remember that Miura taugh us that something broken or incomplete can still be beautiful and deserving of love

If Kentaro has trust in his friend to continue the story, I trust him too. Kentaro was an INSANE perfectionist. If he was willing to give the control to this guy, there's no chance he wouldn't be able to keep up the amazing work.

Berserk helped me reclaim repressed memories and process the trauma of a childhood assault. And when loved ones confided in me regarding similar trauma, it helped me lay down my anger and desire for violent revenge, instead focusing on living a good life while being there for the people I love. I owe Miura a lot, maybe more than any other artist or author.

As my art teacher wrote to me when we talked about the news: "I think that even if he had have lived longer, Berserk would still have remained unfinished. The real pursuit of perfection lasts a lifetime... and he is an example of it." I think we should spread the message of this work and be thankful of what he gave us. He inspired me to draw comics, and I will forever be grateful. It is thanks to him that I discovered this world, and i will never forget that.

The fact that Miura said "nah" to working on Fist of the North Star and then went on to create one of the greatest manga of all time is a testament to the value of passionate auteurs with vision and a drive to make something incredible on their own.

Miura taking the gamble to make his own story instead of working with the guy who made fist of the north star is one of the most inspiring and human things I’ve ever heard.

I don't think Griffith was ever fake or phoney. His feelings and desires may have been darker than people realised, but they're genuine. Griffith is a strongly emotional person and that's exactly why he does the things he does. That's exactly why his betrayal is so impactful in my opinion.

"People will find reasons to dislike you, they will find reasons to dismiss and diminish you, but get good enough at something and what they cannot do is ignore you" Damn John well said

The day I found out Kentaro Miura died, my dog died the same morning, I was a senior in high school and my parents still made me go to school even after waking up to find out that my dog died, my teachers berated me for being a heap of tears the entire day, when I returned home I sat on my bed and went on to Instagram, the first thing I saw was an edit of the Berserk anime from the 90s with Little Dark Age over images of the eclipse, I thought it was pretty cool but the final few seconds were a message reading RIP Kentaro Miura, I quickly looked online to find that it was true, the two greatest lights in my life went out that today, my dog who had brought me so joy ever since I was a child and the author of a book series which helped bring me out of depression to understand that life wasn't always grim, it had it's downs but that didn't mean it couldn't go up. I doubt anyone will read this but I just wanted to share my story, thanks if you did

It still worth to keep on reading. Yes sadly Miura passed away but his best and closest friend Kouji Mori is continuing it. True their private conversations and materials left by Miura, Kouji Mori has a good grasp on how Miura would proceed and end the manga. While the first chapter done under Kouji Mori supervision felt like a step down in quality he brought it back up on the subsequencial chapters. One of the few mangas that what is going to happen next keeps being a unpredictable amazing surprise.

I personally love the idea of Guts letting go of his revenge to focus on a peaceful life and Griffith trapped in his shining city of lies. Having what happens next left a mystery to a degree. But I'm intrigued to see where it continues to go with the new chapters. Casca was healed for the most part and that was extremely important to see, I'm glad we got that.

An hour and a half about how great Berserk is? I'm down for this Echo chamber 😁

Berserk is peak, Miura was truly ahead of his time when he wrote this masterpiece. Gone too soon, may he rest in peace.

Appreciate that you went back and said that the idea Miura was always a genius, devalues his work. As an artist, the immense conflation of skill with natural talent, can cause people to imply quite often that art is just this thing youre good at, or youre not, when its something that artists spend years of their lives trying to master.

My younger siblings died recently and this video genuinely has helped me come to terms with it. Thank you for that.

I hope John knows that we don’t expect anything from him for a while. I can tell that this video was emotionally draining. But good lord, it is the best tribute and sent off to Kentaro Miura anyone could ever ask for. You did good Wolf. Take a rest now.

I know people say "Don't be sorry because it's over, be happy that it happened" but I can't help but feel both when I think about Kentaro Miura and Berserk.

I realized when you talked about casca getting molested as a kid why it destroys casca so much at the eclipse, the one man who saved her as a child became the man who abused her. The entire worldview she's built up to this point is shattered and she reverts to that kid. Im realizing im probably not the first to think of this i just thought it was wild at the time.
