Re: The _really long_ Berserk Theory
Griffith isn't evil and never has been. yes, he did sacrifice the band of the hawk and is a member of the god hand. What if the sacrifice wasn't selfish. He did it to gain power to establish what he thinks would be a suitable world.(Assuming that his intent is good) and the slaughter of the bank of...

Re: The _really long_ Berserk Theory
As far as the light hawk / dark hawk prophecy interpretation, I'd say it all hinges on where the prophecy comes from in the first place. I see a couple of possibilities: 1.) The prophecy comes from the Idea of Evil, either through an Apostle or some schmo who was manipulated into believing they had ...

Re: The _really long_ Berserk Theory
I agree with you to some extent, that Berserk is more closely related to the religious theme, than, say, Naruto. However, the existence of 'God' (used in the context as the creator of humans) could not be justified sorely due to the religious themes, when it is not mentioned in the manga. I absolut...

Idea was introduced because it is related to the God Hand, and in extension, the fate of humans (which shows that humans d...

Re: The _really long_ Berserk Theory
Possibly there are some other gods than Idea, but all the evidence would point to similar, man-invented deities. If nothing else, the Idea cosmology put forward in the Lost Chapters does leave the question of origin very pointedly unanswered; if humanity created God (that is, the Idea) rather than ...

Re: The _really long_ Berserk Theory
I'd tend to agree with the criticism that equating the Idea of Evil with either the Kabbalistic destructive / unifying god or the Gnostic creator-demiurge is problematic because both, by definition, existed before humanity and the universe as we know it, but the Idea is very clear in stating that he...

Berserk: The Abridged Series
Slightly off-topic considering that they're not really AMVs, and I hope nobody minds a little innocent self-promotion on the part of a newbie, but I've been posting a Berserk: The Abridged Series on YouTube for a while now which just reached it's ninth episode. All the episodes can be found here. If...
