Berserk Chapter 94 Discussion

Wow. I vaguely knew about Griffiths betrayal beforehand, but I didn't know anything about the details. This sucks for the hawks.

Griffith is still my favorite character, because while I don't agree with it his whole search for his dream is super compelling to me.

well... that answers that

He Who Hunts Dragons"



The kill drangons, great sword to kill this demon kekeke

Dick move Griffith.... Poor Guts.

It's one of those moments when the chosen one turns out to be the main antagonist himself. E.g Anakin Skywalker from star wars or obito uchiha from naruto etc however even if it's the same principle, the difference is made of how the story around this protagonist who then turns into has been told. In this example it's grabbing towards perfection.

Awesome. This was one of my favorite moments in the anime and I loved it here as well. Hate to say it, but a lot of what the God Hand says and Griffith's conclusion does make sense. I mean, I don't agree with it, but I can certainly see the thought process there.



It's interesting how some of things Guts has said throughout the story actually motivated Griffith to make the decision.

I like how everybody assumes Griffith accepting the God Hand's offer makes him evil, but why? Because they associate with demons? A logical conclusion, but we haven't yet been given evidence that being a demon automatically makes the being's actions evil. Is it because he is knowingly sacrificing the Band of the Hawk to achieve power? How is that truly any different from everything he's done so far? He was sacrificing the band to achieve power then, too. That's how war is. A person in authority or seeking authority sacrifices their military might to keep or gain power. The only real difference here is how they're being sacrificed.



One could argue the biggest problem is he's consulting with demons for power and maybe even becoming a demon himself, but this isn't a fact that necessarily needs to be problematic either.



And when it's considered he's achieving essentially godhood for the same sacrifice that when done through conventional war could have only at best granted him kingship (if even that), the sacrifice seems comparably small.



I'm not saying I agree with his decision... but from a purely logical standpoint, I can't say I disagree with it either.



It's really quite interesting stuff and this series is brilliant to portray it in such a neutral way. The most concerning issue I have as a reader with less concern about the logic of such a decision and an emotional attachment to the characters is... who's going to survive this? ._.

Griffith... You just did something unforgivable.

Did you really get to that point in order to fulfill your wish?

I love how moments like these give a lot to think about.
