Alright, here we go, buckle up, because the first episode of berserk kicks off with Guts, one
eyed, one armed menace you did not want to mess with. it’s pouring rain, because of course
it is—what better way to set the tone for this absolute bloodbath? Guts is strolling into this
miserable little village, and all he’s got is his massive sword, which is literally bigger than
most people, a gun for a left arm, because why not, and a vibe that screams, “Don’t mess
with me or I’ll throw you in a blender.” Naturally, he stumbles upon a bar, and inside, chaos.

Four total losers are bullying this poor girl, throwing her around like she’s a ragdoll. You’d
think that these guys would have a little bit of common sense, but nah, they’ve got a one-
way ticket to a brutal beatdown. Enter Guts—our hero, who has zero tolerance for nonsense.
He takes one look at these dudes and decides, “Yeah, I’m gonna end all of you.” And he
does just that. This man beats these bullies to a pulp in a gruesome fashion, making sure to
leave no one standing. Guts didn’t even break a sweat, just casually massacring these guys
like they were bugs. You can’t help but watch and think, “Dang, this guy really hates bullies.”

After this epic fight, we get a little peek into Guts’ tragic past. We see him having some
gnarly nightmares, which basically shows how cursed this dude is. He’s got a tattoo that
screams “bad news,” and you just know this guy’s life is gonna be one big horror show. It’s
not just the nightmares, though. This curse is like his personal hell, and it’s always lurking in
the background. Honestly, if I had a mark that made me feel like death was always breathing
down my neck, I’d probably be having nightmares too.

But wait—there’s more! Next, we get thrown into an insane battle with Apostles, which are
these monstrous beings, and Guts? Oh, he’s not having it. He’s hacking and slashing his
way through these giant nightmares like he’s mowing grass. It’s a straight-up massacre.
Guts is basically saying, “You guys thought you could stand against me? Lol, nope.” He
takes down one dude after another, barely blinking. But then, out of nowhere, the big bad
son of a B, this gigantic demon snake lord, transforms into huge monster. It’s like, “Oh, so
you thought you were done with the fight?” And Guts is like, “Hold my beer, I’m about to
show you how it’s done.”

In true Berserk fashion, this snake lord gets absolutely wrecked by Guts—who somehow still
manages to walk away with a demon crystal. I mean, what is this, Mario? Collecting demon
crystals now? Sure, Guts. Just another day in the life.

And just when you think the episode’s over and you’re like, “Okay, Guts is probably gonna
chill now, right?”—boom, the scene shifts, and now we’re flashing back to a battle scene
from Guts’ past. Things are only going to get worse from here, trust me.

So, in conclusion: Guts is a cursed, nightmare-having, one-armed, sword-wielding legend

who doesn’t let anyone—anyone—get away with being a jerk. This episode sets up the dark,
twisted journey ahead, and you just know it’s gonna be a ride full of blood, chaos, and
demons. Welcome to Berserk, where the fun never ends… and neither does the violence.

In second episode of we kick things off with a *bang*—literally. Bazuso, the huge dude with
the axe, is running around like he owns the place, absolutely slaughtering anyone who dares
to oppose him. And let me tell you, everyone is *terrified*. This guy’s the definition of "don’t
mess with me," and the whole village knows it. Bazuso’s having a field day, laughing at
everyone’s fear, making fun of them as he chops his way through them like a butcher cutting
through meat. It’s honestly hard to imagine how anyone can be this scary.

But hold up—enter *Guts*, our one-eyed, one-armed wonder, but since this is back in time
and he’s still kid, his two eyed, two armed wonder. Guts shows up and, surprise surprise,
everyone laughs at him because he’s this tiny dude compared to Bazuso. They’re all like,
“This guy? He’s gonna take down *Bazuso*? *LOL*.” But let me tell you, Guts doesn’t care
about the size of the opponent, and with a swing of his massive sword, he demolishes
Bazuso like it’s nothing. Seriously, Guts just flexes and crushes Bazuso like he’s some
random side character. Bazuso, the big bad bully? He’s done. And Guts, in true Guts
fashion, gets his paycheck for this little service of destroying the monster. Straight-up flexing
on everyone.

After that, Guts decides to leave. No big deal, right? But nope—now he’s rolling with
Griffith’s army. And of course, who else do we meet but Corkus. *Yes, his name is Corkus.*
This guy, for some reason, thinks he can take down Guts. Corkus is the *definition* of a
dude with a Napoleon complex. But guess what? Guts straight-up slaughters Corkus and his
squad, like a lawnmower cutting through grass. They didn’t even stand a chance. Guts is
like, “Y’all really thought you could mess with me?”

Then we get this intense moment where Guts almost *kills* a new hottie: Casca. This scene
has some serious *tension*, but before Guts can do any real damage, Griffith steps in and,
in classic Griffith style, puts Guts in his place. Griffith straight-up beats Guts down, which
honestly feels like a *big mood*. Like, even Guts isn’t immune to this guy’s charm and
power. But this beating? This is gonna change things, big time.

We flash back to Guts’ past, and oh boy, it’s even darker than we expected. Guts had a dad
—well, more like a *dadbeater*—Gambino. This guy was straight-up garbage. He didn't care
about Guts at all, just treating him like some burden to get rid of. No love, no warmth, just a
nightmare of a childhood. It makes sense why Guts is the way he is—distrustful, isolated,
and always ready to fight. This background is like the ultimate tragic backstory for a guy
who’s already got a demon-marked soul.

After Guts wakes up from his beatdown, he gets an invite from Griffith himself. Griffith, being
the charming yet manipulative guy he is, invites Guts to join the *Band of the Hawk*. You’d
think this would be a nice little offer, but nope—Guts, true to form, says, “Nah, I’m good.” But
*Griffith* is not the kind of guy who takes no for an answer. And in his mind, no one says no
to *him*. Griffith is going to make sure Guts joins, whether he likes it or not.
And that’s how the episode ends—Guts says no, but we all know that’s not gonna be the
end of it. Griffith’s not done with him, not by a long shot. This episode sets up some serious
power dynamics, and trust me, this is just the beginning. Things are about to get even
*messier*.

Alright, so we start off with Guts, still thinking he’s the strongest guy around, goes head-to-
head with Griffith. And you’d think that with his huge sword and brute strength, he’d at least
put up a good fight, right? Yeah, no. Griffith plays with him like a cat with a half-dead mouse.
Guts is all rage and power, swinging that massive blade like a madman, but Griffith? My guy
is smooth. Dodging, countering, barely breaking a sweat. It’s honestly embarrassing for
Guts.

And then boom—Griffith knocks Guts down and pins him. Not just physically, but in a
dominance kind of way. Guts is out here realizing that for all his strength, he’s still not at the
top. And Griffith, being Griffith, just smiles. Because of course he does. That’s when he tells
Guts straight up: “You’re mine now.” Like, excuse me? This dude really just claimed Guts
like he was a rare Pokémon.

So Guts Joins the Band of the Hawk.

Griffith officially invites Guts to join the Band of the Hawk. But it’s not really an invitation, is
it? More like a statement. Griffith doesn’t take no for an answer, and Guts, realizing that
rolling solo isn’t the move right now, just goes with it.

Now, let’s talk about the squad. We’ve got:

● Casca – the no-nonsense warrior chick who already hates Guts or not, i mean who
knows
● Corkus – this dude is salty all the time. Thought he could take Guts in a fight before,
and got his entire ego shattered.
● Pippin – big, quiet, probably the only guy who doesn’t hate Guts immediately.
● Judeau – the cool, laid-back guy who’s actually pretty chill with Guts.

With that, Guts is officially part of Griffith’s army. And yeah, he doesn’t trust anyone yet, but
hey—he’s got a new group of people to fight alongside, so let’s see where this goes.

Alright, now we get to the real meat of the episode—the battle. And when I say battle, I
mean a full-blown, brutal medieval war. The Band of the Hawk is facing off against some
random army that, honestly, never stood a chance. But they don’t know that yet.

Griffith, being the tactical genius that he is, already has everything planned out. He’s out
here giving orders, positioning troops, making sure everyone moves like a well-oiled
machine. And then there’s Guts. No strategy. No plan. Just violence.

The moment he charges in, it’s over for the enemy. Guts is swinging that oversized sword
like it’s nothing, cutting through armored soldiers like butter. The enemy sees him and is
probably thinking, “Who let this demon out here?” Blood’s flying everywhere, and for a
second, you almost feel bad for the guys getting smashed.

Casca’s also fighting, keeping up as best as she can, but it’s clear—Guts is built different.
She hates admitting it, but she sees how strong he is. Griffith? He’s just watching, probably
plotting something bigger in his head.
Eventually, the battle ends with Griffith’s army taking the win. And guess what? Griffith
barely had to lift a finger. This dude really just sat back and let Guts and the rest of the Band
of the Hawk do all the work.

After the fight, the Band of the Hawk is celebrating like there’s no tomorrow. They’ve just
crushed the enemy, and now it’s time to drink, laugh, and live it up.

Guts, of course, isn’t really the party type. He’s sitting on the side, watching everyone get
wasted, wondering if this is really what he signed up for.

And then there’s Griffith. Sitting in the center, looking untouchable, like this is all just another
step in his grand plan. And if Guts wasn’t already suspicious before, he definitely is now.

Alright, next episode we start off with something you’d never expect in a brutal, war-filled
anime—Griffith and Guts having a literal water fight. And yeah, Griffith is all nakey. You’d
think after all the blood and chaos, they’d be taking life seriously, but nope. These two are
out here, laughing, splashing each other, having what can only be described as the most
wholesome moment in the entire series.

Guts, usually all broody and antisocial, actually looks like he’s enjoying himself for once. But
then—because fun can’t last in this world—his attention gets caught by this weird red crystal
that Griffith always carries around. And now it’s lore time.

Griffith explains that this edgy-looking gem is called the Behelit. And not just any Behelit—
The Crimson Behelit. My guy straight-up calls it the Egg of the King, saying that it’s gonna
lead him to his destiny and make him a ruler one day. Guts is just standing there like, “Cool
rock, I guess?” but Griffith? This dude is serious. He’s not just talking about winning a few
battles—he’s talking about controlling everything. You can already tell something is off.

Before we jump into yet another battle, we get a flashback.

We see Gambino, the absolute worst father figure in anime history, going off on little Guts.
This dude hated him from day one, treated him like garbage, and is now out here drunk and
trying to stab him. Real father-of-the-year material. But guess what? Guts wasn’t about to go
out like that.

In a desperate move, Guts kills Gambino before Gambino can kill him. And just like that, he’s
on the run.

But hold up—it gets worse.

As soon as he escapes, the entire village turns on him. Like, “Oh, you killed the guy who was
trying to kill you? Guess we’ll just murder you too.” They chase him down, and right when
you think he’s gonna make it—bam—dude gets shot with an arrow and falls into the void.

And just like that, we snap back to the present—because Guts’ trauma break is over, and it’s
time for yet another battle.

Back to War – The Band of the Hawk Destroys More Nobodies Surprise, surprise—Griffith’s
army is in another war. This time, they’re up against some random dudes who probably
thought they had a chance. Yeah, no.
Once again, we see the clear difference in how Griffith and Guts fight. Griffith is out here
playing chess, using strategy and precision. Meanwhile, Guts is just vibing in the bloodshed,
cutting through soldiers like a demon on a rampage. And let’s be real—the enemy never had
a chance. The Band of the Hawk absolutely demolishes them, taking the win with almost no
effort.

After the battle, Griffith and Guts have one of those deep, life-changing conversations.
Griffith, still riding that main character energy, starts talking about his philosophy—how his
dream is the only thing that matters, how he doesn’t see comrades as friends, but as pawns
in his grand plan.

He hits Guts with that speech: “A true friend is someone who has their own dream, their own
path—not someone who just follows another person.”

And Guts? He just sits there, processing. Because what even is his dream? Dude’s been
fighting for survival his whole life, and now he’s realizing he has nothing outside of battle.

But before he can spiral into an existential crisis, Griffith pulls him back with some good
news—Guts is getting a promotion. That’s right, our boy just got leveled up to Raider
Commander. And just like that, Guts is moving up in the world.

The episode ends with another ominous setup. We see Griffith, Guts, and the rest of the
Band of the Hawk marching onto another battlefield.

More war. More blood. More chaos incoming.

And with that, we’re left wondering—how long can this winning streak really last? Because if
anime has taught us anything, it’s that when things are too good to be true, they usually are.

Alright, so skip time—three years have passed, and Griffith’s army is basically on a winning
streak. These guys have been steamrolling every war, stacking W after W like they’re
farming minnions in league of legends.

And after another easy win, it’s time for a celebration. Even Corkus—yes, Corkus, the #1
Guts hater—decides to chill and celebrate with him. You know things are going well when
even this dude is having a good time.

But hold up—before the party kicks off, Casca calls Guts for a little chat. And by chat, I mean
verbal beatdown.

Casca straight-up goes off on Guts. She’s sick of his lone-wolf, one-man-army attitude,
always diving into battle like a reckless idiot. She’s all about teamwork, strategy, and making
sure everyone survives—but Guts? Nah. He just slices through the battlefield like he’s on a
solo Doom playthrough.

She basically tells him:

“You’re strong, but you’re selfish. You don’t fight for the team. You fight for yourself. What
happens when you finally take an L and we can’t save you?”

Guts actually takes this in for a second… and then shrugs it off. Classic Guts.
Things get heated between them, and they almost throw hands—but before they can start
round 1, Griffith shows up. Casca, still pissed, leaves the boys alone.

Griffith, being Griffith, basically repeats what Casca just said, But with more charisma and
somehow, it actually gets through to Guts. That’s the power of this dude—he can say the
exact same thing and somehow make it sound like it matters.

He tells Guts straight-up:

“You’re amazing, but you can’t keep doing this alone. If you don’t learn to trust the people
around you, you’ll eventually break.”

Guts doesn’t say much, but you can tell it’s starting to sink in.

Anyway, enough of the deep talks—time to celebrate.

Griffith’s Ceremony – Welcome to High Society

Cut to the Kingdom, where Griffith is getting that official recognition. The King himself
blesses him, and now our boy isn’t just some random mercenary leader—he’s becoming a
real noble.

This moment is huge for Griffith. He’s not just fighting to win battles—he’s climbing the social
ladder, one step closer to his ultimate goal.

after that we see Griffith, being the strategic genius he is, starts planning the next big move.
But here’s the twist—the enemy isn’t waiting.

Arrows start flying out of nowhere—the enemy ambushes them, catching the Band of the
Hawk completely off guard.

And for the first time ever—they’re struggling.

This isn’t just another easy “kill everything in sight” battle. The Band of the Hawk is actually
losing ground. People are getting taken out, the formation is falling apart, and even Guts
can’t just brute-force his way through this one.

It’s the first time we see them in danger, but everything good and fine. They just lost battle,
not war.

Meanwhile, back in the Kingdom, the King and his noble squad are talking strategy. But let’s
be real—most of these old dudes are just sitting around, complaining about Griffith while
pretending to care about the war.

They’re already plotting behind the scenes, because they don’t like how powerful Griffith is
becoming. And if history has taught us anything, it’s that when rich people start scheming,
bad things happen.

Final Scene – Another Battle Incoming

The episode ends with another battlefield setup.

Griffith, Guts, and the Band of the Hawk stand against a new enemy, staring them down as
the next big war is about to begin.

And at this point, one thing is clear—things are starting to shift.

The easy wins? They might be over.

And like problems we were talking about last episode, this episode continues having
problems. Some random soldier comes running in, looking scared out of his mind, and drops
some horrifying news:

"There's this dude named Zodd on the enemy's side… and yeah, we kinda can’t get through
him."

Cue the oh sh*t moment. Apparently, this Zodd guy is built different—we’re talking straight-
up immortal killer status. He’s taken hundreds of heads, left battlefields piled with corpses,
and basically steamrolled everyone in his path like he’s playing Dynasty Warriors on easy
mode.

And where is he? Inside some old castle, chilling like it’s his personal man cave. Dude has
been living there alone, waiting for new challengers to feed his K/D ratio.

Naturally, everyone’s terrified—nobody wants to go anywhere near that place. But then
there’s Guts. And we all know by now—common sense is not in this man’s vocabulary.

The second he hears about Zodd, he’s like, "I’ll handle it."

Everyone: "NO, YOU WON’T."

Guts: "WATCH ME."

So, despite literally everyone telling him this is a bad idea, Guts grabs his sword and
marches in solo like he's walking into a tavern fight.

Entering Zodd’s House of Horrors. Hundreds of bodies smashed, torn apart, thrown around
like trash—it’s a full-blown horror show. And right in the middle of it all? Zodd. And what’s
Zodd doing? Having a little happy meal, casually munching on a human like it’s Tuesday
night dinner. Guts walks in, sees his fellow soldier getting eaten like a cheeseburger, and is
like, "Aight, that’s enough of that." They square up.

At first, Zodd beats the hell out of Guts. He’s too strong, too fast, and just too much of a
beast. Guts is struggling hard, barely keeping up. But you know how it goes—the more you
beat Guts, the angrier and stronger he gets.

Eventually, he lands a clean stab right into Zodd’s body. For a second, it looks like Guts
actually won. …AHAHAHAHAHA. No. Nosferatu Zodd’s True Form – A Bigger Problem
Because Zodd does what every big bad in this anime does—he goes, "Oh? You thought I
was scary before?"

And then—BAM. Dude transforms. What was already a giant, muscular killing machine
becomes even bigger. Massive horns, monstrous face, full-on demon mode.

And at this point, Guts is f*cked. Zodd starts smacking him around, breaking bones,
launching him into walls like a ragdoll. Guts is getting humbled fast.

And right when Zodd is about to finish the job— Griffith Arrives… With Backup, That Does
Nothing.
Yee, Griffith finally shows up, bringing some of the Band of the Hawk with him. They all start
firing arrows, and let’s be real—it does absolutely nothing.

Zodd literally just pauses, looks at them like, "Oh, you idiots really just interrupted my fight?"

Then he goes berserk. Tears through the soldiers like paper, straight-up massacres them.
It’s not even a fight—it’s a bloodbath. But for some reason, he stops when he sees Griffith’s
Behelit (the red crystal necklace).

Zodd, the ultimate killer, the undefeatable monster, just stares at Griffith’s crystal… and then
decides to give Guts some free life advice.

"Listen up, kid. One day, when Griffith’s ambition is at its peak, you will not escape death. So
escape while you can."

Then, just like that—Zodd dips. Jumps straight out of the castle, leaving everyone horrified,
broken, and confused.

Meanwhile, Griffith? Yeah, he’s done.

Dude got bodied so hard, he falls into a coma.

And that’s how the episode ends—Griffith knocked out, everyone shaken, and Zodd’s words
hanging over them like a curse.

We open up with a bunch of royal dudes standing around, sipping tea, and talking sh*t about
Griffith.

Apparently, the Band of the Hawk has been taking some Ls recently, and these nobles are
LOVING it. They’re saying Griffith doesn’t deserve the king’s recognition anymore, basically
trying to kick him while he’s down.

Then, here comes Guts, still looking like he got ran over by a truck from his last battle. And
of course, they start trash-talking him too, like, “Oh, look, it’s Griffith’s little dog.” Guts just
stares them down, probably thinking about how easy it would be to slice them in half, but he
lets it go… for now.

So, Guts wants to go see his buddy Griffith, but guess what? Griffith is busy with some royal
guests.

The guards are like, “Nah, you’re not on the list.”

Guts, obviously, doesn’t care. He’s about to walk in anyway, but then—BAM—Caska stops
him. And not just stops him—she straight-up punches him. Mind you, this dude is already
half-dead, but Caska does NOT care. She’s pissed. And why? Because Griffith cares more
about Guts than her.

She’s like, “Why does he always look at YOU instead of me?!” and then she just starts
crying.

Guts is standing there, probably thinking, “Why do people keep punching me when I’m
already bleeding out?”

Next, we cut to Guts just vibing alone, doing his version of a workout, which is basically
swinging his massive sword around while deep in thought. Caska’s words are replaying in
his head, and he’s actually thinking about it. Maybe she’s right? Maybe he really is just a
lone wolf?

But then Griffith rolls up.

He’s like, “So… about Zodd. What happened back there?”

Guts, still recovering from his near-death experience, is like, “Yeah, he freaked out when he
saw that crystal thing you always carry.”

Griffith, acting all nonchalant, is like, “Oh really? Wow, I had no idea. Guess it protects us!”

Sure, buddy. We totally believe you.

Their chat gets interrupted because the king himself shows up with some dude named Urius.

The king’s like, “Hey, Griffith, listen. These other nobles are talking mad sht about your
losing streak, and now they’ve got me doubting you too.”*
Then he introduces his daughter—Princess Charlotte.

She seems nice, but also super sheltered. Probably never even seen a battlefield in her life.

After the formalities, they start heading off somewhere when Charlotte suddenly trips—just
full-on anime girl mode, about to hit the ground. But, of course, Griffith catches her like he’s
some kind of fairytale prince.

They have a whole slow-motion staring contest moment.

And that’s when you KNOW some drama is about to unfold later.

The episode wraps up with Griffith and his army getting ready to attack an enemy castle.

Griffith’s like, “Alright, enough of this losing streak. It’s our turn to hit them where it hurts.”

And this time, they’re going full stealth mode.

And boom—that’s the cliffhanger.

Next episode? We’re probably getting some sneaky ninja-style warfare. Let’s go.

We pick up right where we left off, with the Band of the Hawk plotting some next-level war
tactics.

They’re dragging some big-ass caskets across a beach, being all sneaky with it. Meanwhile,
a group of their soldiers is off in the distance singing some weird battle sea shanty to distract
the enemy.

The enemy commander, a.k.a. Fake a** battle guru, is watching all this like, “Bruh… what
are they even doing?”

He’s about to order a full-blown cannon barrage, but then he’s like, “Nah, let them embarrass
themselves.”

Little does he know, those caskets ain’t just for decoration. The Band of the Hawk is about to
pull some Metal Gear Solid-level infiltration.

While all that’s happening, Guts and a few soldiers creep around the back of the enemy’s
castle like some Amazon delivery men with a very special package, death.

They roll up to the gates like, “Hey, we got a message for you.”

The dumbass guards actually let them in. Big mistake boys.

Next thing you know, Guts is turning the place into a horror movie. Swords swinging, heads
flying—it’s a whole massacre. After painting the walls with enemy blood, they signal the rest
of the Band of the Hawk. And Boom. The whole squad rolls in, takes the castle, and wipes
out almost everyone inside.

The enemy commander, who’s some blonde dude with a massive ego, realizes he’s about to
get wrecked.

So, what does he do? Does he stand his ground like a real warrior? Nah.
He grabs a few of his men and yeets himself into the basement, making a full-on Scooby-
Doo escape.

Meanwhile, the Band of the Hawk is just chilling in the now-dead castle, celebrating like it’s a
housewarming party. Mission success guys.

Blondie finally gets back to his main fortress, and his boss is NOT happy. Dude straight-up
tells him, “Listen, you either fix this mess and take back what’s ours, or you’re done.”

This is basically Blondie’s final chance to prove he’s not completely useless. Spoiler: He is.

Meanwhile, back in the royal palace, three random girls are gossiping like they’re at a tea
party. Apparently, Griffith is getting YET ANOTHER round of praise from the king. Probably
a medal, a title, maybe even another Grammy award for “Best Army Leader of the Year.”

But not everyone’s a fan. Enter General Yurius. And this dude is FUMING. But before he can
throw a full tantrum, some creepy, bald, one-eyed or zero eyed royal dude slides up next to
him like, “Pssst… You tryna destroy the Band of the Hawk? Meet me in the woods. I got a
plan.”

And boom—that’s the setup for next episode.

We got war, betrayals, and some shady royal backstabbing coming up. Let’s go.

We open up with the king, his fancy royal squad, and some members of the Band of the
Hawk out on a little hunting trip. Of course, our favorite angry old man, urius, is also there.
And guess what? He’s still furious. But today, he’s not just mad—he’s got a whole
assassination plan cooked up with his little sidekick boy. The target? Our boy Griffith.

So, everything’s going smoothly until—BAM—a wild pig charges through the hunting
grounds like it’s late for work. Unfortunately, it spooks Princess Charlotte’s horse, which
instantly goes, “Nope, I’m outta here!” and starts sprinting like it’s got somewhere better to
be. Griffith, being the princely knight wannabe he is, rushes after her, catches up, and gets
the horse to calm the hell down.

But just as the moment settles a deadly, well-poisoned arrow flies straight at Griffith. The
Arrow That Could’ve Ended It All… But Didn’t.

Now, this ain’t just any arrow. This thing is laced with some next-level death juice,
guaranteed to kill anything with a pulse. And it’s flying right for Griffith’s heart. But plot armor
—I mean, destiny—had other plans. The arrow hits the Behelit, the creepy red crystal Griffith
always carries, and stops dead in its tracks. No damage. No poison. Just a dramatic close
call.

Griffith? Chilling. Guts? Already in “I’m gonna find whoever did this and make them regret
being born” mode. He orders the squad to hunt down whoever fired that arrow. And when
they find him? Oh, you already know Guts is gonna make sure he never picks up a bow
again.

Meanwhile, back at the castle, Yurius is livid. His sidekick botched the assassination, and
now Griffith is still alive, looking pretty, and completely unaware that Yurius has it out for him.
Or so he thinks. Yurius storms off to be alone and starts spiraling. And by spiraling, I mean
he starts thinking about Griffith’s eyes way too much. Like, really thinking about them.
It’s giving, “Do I hate him? Do I love him? Am I scared of him? Why are his eyes so perfect?”
vibes.

Man’s in his feelings, and not in a good way. Also, he’s realizing that if anyone figures out he
was behind the assassination attempt, he’s completely screwed. And, well… he’s right.

Cut to later that night, and we see Griffith chilling, writing in his diary like some teenage
mastermind. Apparently, when he’s not leading an army or dodging assassination attempts,
he spends his time reading about chemistry, physics, and math. Because of course this
dude is out here studying how to be the ultimate strategist. But he’s not just journaling for
fun. He’s got business to handle. And that business? Murder.

Griffith calls in Guts and hits him with a casual, “Yo, I need you to kill someone for me.”

Now, normally, Griffith could probably handle this himself, but nah—he knows Guts loves
this kinda work. And who’s the target? None other than our boy Furious urius himself.

Guts? He doesn’t need the details. He doesn’t need the motive. Griffith says kill, and Guts
says bet. And that’s where the episode ends.

Next time? We got an assassination incoming. And knowing Guts, it ain’t gonna be pretty.

10

We open with Guts doing his best ninja impression, hopping across rooftops like he’s been
practicing parkour in his free time. Dude is on a mission, and that mission? Take out Furious
Urius.

Meanwhile, inside the castle, urius is busy being—yep, you guessed it—furious. But this
time, he’s not just mad about Griffith. He’s pissed at his own son, who is currently holding an
anlace, fancy short sword and looking like the biggest disappointment of the century. urius is
trying to teach the kid how to duel, but the boy can’t land a single hit. Instead, he’s getting
bodied over and over again.

“COME ON, BOY, DO SOMETHING!” urius yells.

But the poor kid is out here getting folded. And to make things even more messed up, urius
starts cutting little piece of him with his blade to teach him a lesson.

Guts, watching all this from the rooftops, is having some serious Ukraine flashbacks to his
own lovely childhood with Gambino. And by lovely, I mean absolute trauma central.
Meanwhile, in the Kingdom…

Back in the kingdom, there’s some fancy dance party going on. What are they celebrating?
Who knows. Nobody tells us. But hey, rich people love throwing parties for no reason, so
here we are.

Back to Yurius—A.K.A. the Dead Man Walking.

Now we cut back to Urius’s room, and my man is straight-up losing it.

He’s terrified, sweating bullets, and for some reason? He starts hallucinating Griffith’s face in
his fireplace. Yeah. The dude is so obsessed with Griffith that even his flames are simping
for him. Just as he’s freaking out, he turns around—AND BOOM. Guts is standing there like
a horror movie villain. No warning. No sound. Just pure nightmare fuel. Urius barely has time
to scream before—SWING. One clean slice, and the man is dead. Mission accomplished
successfully. But just as Guts is about to leave—oops. Urius’s son walks in. The kid sees
everything. And Guts? Well, he has about 0.3 seconds to react. And what does he do? He
kills the kid too.

And immediately after, he’s like “Oh sht… I just killed a child.”*

But there’s no time for an existential crisis because soldiers IMMEDIATELY rush in after
hearing the noise.

Remember how Griffith sent Guts because he thought he could do this quietly? Yeah. That
didn’t happen. Now Guts has to fight his way out. absolute mayhem. Soldiers rush in, and
Guts is jumping, slashing, killing left and right like he’s playing Dynasty Warriors on easy
mode. But there are too many of them. They keep coming, and Guts barely makes it out,
getting shot in the arm as he leaps from the castle walls and disappears into the night.

Now, we shift to a much calmer scene. Princess Charlotte and Griffith are alone, having
what can only be described as a romance anime moment. Charlotte is absolutely enchanted
by Griffith. She’s all wide-eyed, hanging onto every word, like he’s the most fascinating thing
she’s ever seen. Griffith, meanwhile, is laying on the charm, smooth as ever.

He’s like, “Yoo, I like you.”

And Charlotte? She’s blushing like crazy. But guess who’s watching all this go down? Caska
and Guts.

Caska looks shook. Because let’s be real—we all know she has feelings for Griffith. And
seeing him flirt with Charlotte? That stings.

Griffith’s Philosophy Hits Different. After that whole scene, Griffith sit down, and he starts
talking about his dreams. Because what’s a Berserk episode without Griffith getting
philosophical? He casually drops one of his most important lines in the entire series:

“A person I consider my friend is someone who follows their own dream… A person who
doesn’t chase their dream isn’t my equal.”

And BAM. That hits Guts like a truck. Because up until now, Guts has always seen Griffith as
his friend. But according to Griffith’s own words… they’re not equals. And if they’re not
equals? Then that means Griffith doesn’t even see Guts as a true friend. Guts is completely
stunned, processing the emotional damage in real time.

And just as the moment gets heavier, Someone barges in and interrupts them. It’s a palace
servant, and she’s got some big news for Charlotte. She tells her:

“Urius is dead. And he was furious before he died.”

This episode was wild.

● Guts botched the assassination by making it a full-on bloodbath.

● Urius died furious (as expected).
● Griffith bagged a princess.
● Guts just realized Griffith doesn’t even see him as a real friend.

And things are only going to get crazier from here.

We kick off the episode with Caska creeping around the castle, and what does she stumble
upon? Griffith and Charlotte having a sweet little moment.

Charlotte’s out here like, “Yo, I stole this from my mommy.”

And what did she steal? Some wooden souvenirs that symbolize a couple being
together.One for the male. One for the female. And Charlotte? She’s basically proposing.

“As long as you have this, I know you’ll come back to me.”

Griffith at first does his whole “Oh no, I couldn’t possibly accept” act… And then he accepts
it. Of course, he does.

Caska, listening from the shadows, is fuming. This man Griffith pf. dude, she risked her life
for you and you out here simping for a royal girlie?!

Caska, at this point, is probably plotting mass murder—Charlotte, Guts, the entire army—just
to make Griffith finally see her. Before anything crazy happens, Griffith and Caska dip out…
But then—BOOM. Charlotte’s mom storms in like a final boss. She’s pissed.

“What the f** did you take, you little b**h? What did you just give that blue-haired idiot?!”

And Charlotte? She’s tired of her mom’s sh*t. She hits her with the royal version of “Who
even are you, girl? Shut up.”

We stan a rebellious princess.

Now, let’s get to the real action.

It’s Band of the Hawk vs. Blondie’s Army again.

They’re tied 1-1, so I guess this fight determines the champion?

Who knows, but what we do know is—this fight is about to get brutal.

The battle starts.

Guts is on a rampage. Dude’s slicing people left and right like he’s playing a hack-and-slash
video game on God mode. Meanwhile, Caska ends up facing off against that annoying
blonde commander. And OF COURSE, this dude starts running his mouth.

“A woman soldier? Hah! What a joke.”

Bro, shut the f*** up and fight. They start swinging, and at first, Caska holds her ground. But
then… she gets knocked down and is suddenly at the edge of a cliff.

Blondie takes this moment to start monologuing.

“I could kill you right now… ORRR you could come back to my castle and be my personal
little side chick.”

Caska is like Absolutely not.*

Blondie shrugs like, “guess it’s time to kill you.”

He raises his sword—AND THEN BOOM. Guts appears out of nowhere and stops his attack.
And he proceeds to BEAT THIS MAN WITHIN AN INCH OF HIS LIFE. Dude was talking
mad trash five seconds ago, and now he’s getting his soul knocked out of his body.

After absolutely wrecking Blondie, Guts turns to Caska like,

“Yo, what the f** was that? How did this oversized dumbass beat you?”*

Before she can answer, Blondie being the sneaky little rat he is picks up a crossbow and
shoots Caska. She falls off the cliff. Guts immediately jumps after her. But he can’t grab her
in time. And they both go crashing into the river.

The battle ends, and we get a shot of bodies everywhere—blood, corpses, the whole deal.
And then, we see Guts. Drenched, exhausted, but still alive. He’s carrying Caska on his
shoulder as he climbs out of the water. She’s not waking up. And Guts? He panics. He’s
like, “Oh sht, she’s dead.”*

But then he gets an idea. “Maybe if I kiss her, she’ll wake up.”…Bruh. But Of course, that
doesn’t work. So he sets up a little shelter in the forest, gets a fire going, and realizes she
has a fever.

And what’s Guts’ brilliant solution to helping her? Take off ALL her clothes. Bruh. At this
point, we cut away from Guts potentially getting a boner (because let’s be real, he probably
did).

Meanwhile, Back at the Camp… Band of the Hawk is looking for Guts and Caska. Some of
the soldiers are genuinely worried like, “Where are they? We need to find them!”

Meanwhile, the rest of the team doesn’t give a damn

“Bro, they’re literally our two best warriors. They can handle themselves. Let’s just go home
and celebrate.”

…And they do. Or not. Guess we can see that in next episode. Because that’s where the
episode ends.

Final Thoughts

This episode was insane.

● Griffith gets proposed by princess with stolen wooden souvenirs.

● Caska was ready to commit mass murder out of jealousy.
● Blondie talked too much and got his ass kicked.
● Guts fumbled the save and ended up in the woods alone with Caska.
● And the rest of Band of the Hawk? Didn’t even care.

Alright, here we go. Episode 12 kicks off with Caska still being mad at Guts. Like, girl, chill
out. She’s basically roasting him for helping her during the battle. She’s all “I don’t need your
help, go away!” and physically and verbally taking shots at him. Guts is like, “What the heck
did I do?!” Honestly, it’s the classic “leave me alone but also why do you hate me” energy.
Guts can’t catch a break, poor guy.
After their little shouting match, Guts straight-up asks her, “Why did you even join the Band
of the Hawk?” And she’s like, “Bro, it’s for Griffith, obviously.” Like, no surprise there, right?
All that loyalty? It’s not for some epic dream or personal glory. It’s all about Griffith. She
literally joined just because she was obsessed with him. Guts looks like he just got hit by a
truck, like he didn’t see that coming.

Then, boom, Caska starts spilling the tea. She takes us back to her childhood, and let me tell
you, it’s heavy. She talks about how she almost got raped, and guess who swoops in like a
knight in shining armor? Griffith. He saves her, and that’s when she’s like, “Yo, I’m down for
this dude.” And honestly, who wouldn’t want to be saved by Griffith? He’s got the charisma,
the leadership, the “I’m gonna take over the world” vibe.

But then it gets messy. Caska talks about catching Griffith in a… compromising situation with
another dude. Yeah, you read that right. She caught him having sexy time with someone
else, and guess what? Griffith’s response was just like, “What, you didn’t know I was gay?
I’m gonna do whatever I want to reach my goal.” Like, what? Caska’s sitting there,
wondering how she didn’t pick up on this earlier. Girl, you got played, but you can’t even be
mad, cause Griffith is on another level of detached.

Then Griffith drops his signature “dream” speech—aka “I don’t care about anyone, just my
dream!” Classic Griffith, right? Dude’s got one thing on his mind: world domination, or
whatever his dream actually is. He’s so consumed by it that he doesn’t care who he hurts
along the way. He’s like, “Yo, you’re just a tool in my grand plan. Deal with it.” Caska’s all,
“Okay, well, I guess I’ll help you achieve that dream because I have nothing else to live for.”
She’s fully devoted, but honestly? Girl, you deserve better. You are better than this.

So now Caska’s looking at Guts like, “Why does Griffith pick you? You’re just a self-centered
loner.” And honestly, Guts is like, “I’m not here for your drama. I’m just here to swing my
sword and kill people.” Caska’s getting all frustrated like, “Help him fulfill his dream!” And
Guts is like, “Nah, I’m good. I’m doing this my way. You’re on your own.” Guts, king of
keeping it real.

The episode ends with Guts telling Caska to go get some meds. Like, okay, we know this
isn’t just about the meds, it’s a setup. But hey, they’ve gotta leave at night to avoid more
awkwardness. Guts is like, “Alright, let’s bounce,” and Caska’s just silently plotting in the
back of her mind, probably thinking of ways to burn Griffith’s entire empire down. Good luck
with that, Caska.
