As Griffith mingles with Midland nobility while acquainting himself with the king's daughter Charlotte, Guts begins developing feelings for his fellow commander Casca, the Hawks' only female member. Upon overhearing Griffith confessing to Charlotte that he only considers someone with their own dream as a friend, Guts decides to leave the group after Midland's victory in its war so he can find his own dream. Guts' decision inadvertently causes Griffith to fall into an emotional downward spiral that culminates in his arrest for seducing Charlotte in a moment of weakness. He loses his Behelit while subjected to torture, and the Hawks are declared criminals by the Midland army. Guts, having spent a year training to become a better swordsman, is warned by a mysterious being known as the "Skull Knight" that his actions have instigated an "Eclipse". Learning of the Hawks' predicament, Guts rejoins them to rescue Griffith, while he and Casca consummate their feelings for each other. a b c Sherman, Jennifer (September 19, 2017).

Berserk received an Excellence Award of Hakusensha's Denshi Shoseki Taishō ( E-Book Award) in 2015, which went to the publisher's best-selling digital manga from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015; [214] it won the same award in its 2021 edition, which went for the publisher's best-selling digital manga from January 1 to December 31, 2021. [215] The Berserk games are not explicitly linked with each other, but are both set within the continuity of the manga series, more specifically its Millennium Falcon arc, which begins in volume 22. Written and illustrated by Kentaro Miura, Berserk debuted in Hakusensha's Monthly Animal House [ ja] on August 25, 1989. [c] Hakusensha published the first tankōbon volume of Berserk under its Jets Comics imprint on November 26, 1990. [101] In 1992, Monthly Animal House was replaced by Young Animal, [98] [102] where the series resumed publication in October of that same year. [103] Miura continued the series' irregular publication in the semimonthly magazine until his death in May 2021; the series resumed in June 2022, under supervision of Miura's fellow manga artist and childhood friend Kouji Mori [ ja], with illustrations by Miura's group of assistants and apprentices from Studio Gaga. [65] In June 2016, Hakusensha's Jets Comics imprint was rebranded as Young Animal Comics, and the first thirty-seven volumes of Berserk were re-published with new cover arts. [104] The posthumous 41st volume came in both regular and special editions; the latter included special canvas art drawn by Miura and a drama CD. [105] [106] [107] The 42nd volume was released on September 29, 2023. [108] [109] Despite taking place during the Millennium Falcon arc, the first game was actually released during the publishing of the previous arc, giving Japanese players a taste of the things to come. In America, it was released two years before the TV series DVD (2002), and even before the comic book series' own introduction (2003). As a consequence, its original title was altered overseas.

[77] [16] As a child, Guts tried to build some level of friendship with his mercenary group, [87] but due to his traumatic experience with them, he lost trust in people. [88] [89] [90] However, through the time he was with Griffith and the rest of the Band of the Hawk, Guts formed bonds, friendships, animosities and co-dependencies, maturing as well as individual. [80] [79] [91] [78] Miura stated that he based the Band of the Hawk on his own high school friend relationship experience. [16] [28] Specifically, he mentioned that his friendship with later fellow manga artist Kouji Mori partially inspired the relationship between Guts and Griffith. [7] Jacob Chapman of Anime News Network, wrote that through their friendship, Guts' ambitions were elevated and Griffith's were lowered, allowing both of them to consider a new future for the first time, one where they fight side by side as equals and die on the battlefield, but they reject this future out of their own personal fears, as Guts did not think he was "good enough" for a happy future and Griffith was terrified of his lofty dream crumbling into something more mundane. [92] Miura also said that the conflict between Guts and Griffith speaks about their change after having built their personalities. [16]

In this regard, his Behelit was also unique, for it was meant to be used by the one new mortal to transcend and become a member of the God Hand. The other Behelits seen in Berserk are minor compared to Griffith's: meant to transform the one who possessed it at the right time into Apostles. Apostles, which are humans who have offered their most precious possessions in exchange to escape their horrendous fate, can transform into hideous creatures (a bizarre manifestation of their ego) and bow down to the God Hand, though there are a few exceptions in the manga.
