At a young age he was sexually assaulted and betrayed by the only person he believed to be his friend. This makes Guts' into the emotionless gladiator that we see. That is until... Griffith.

And though this is the start of a "family" for guts with the band of hawks, we all know Griffith will betray him due to seeing him in the first arc. So Guts has no choice but to move forward in what seems to be good times with the people he cares for even if we know it won't end well.

When Guts recovers days later, he is forced into joining the Band of the Hawk when Griffith defeats him in a duel and later learns of the Beherit pendant Griffith possesses. Three years pass and the Band of the Hawk grow in power and numbers as they are employed by the Kingdom of Midland for its Hundred Year War against the Tudor Empire, and Griffith rises in the kingdom's hierarchy after a successful battle. During a siege, Guts and Griffith encounter the Apostle Nosferatu Zodd, a fearsome immortal warrior who nearly kills them before noticing Griffith's Beherit. Zodd takes his leave while warning Guts that Griffith will be his doom once the latter dream crumbles while still considering him a friend. These three volumes are straight-up foreshadowing later events of the story and it's amazing how smooth and right the dialogue between characters feels. Getting to see Zod too helps build for more of the supernatural side of it, and like before, it is horrifying. The art really gets to showcase here as the battle is fast and brutal as hell. Raised by his adoptive father and mentor Gambino, the young Guts was forced to kill Gambino when the man attempted to murder him in misplaced blame for his wife's death for saving his life when born from his hanged mother. A few years later, an older Guts attracts the attention of a mercenary group, The Band of the Hawk, when he kills the knight Bazuso during a siege. Corkus attempts to rob Guts before he is saved by the Hawks' female captain Casca, who is in turned saved by their leader Griffith as he grievously wounds Guts. Natalie (in Japanese). Natasha, Inc.

That same year, in 1982, Miura enrolled in an artistic curriculum in high school, where he and his classmates started publishing their works in school booklets, as well as having his first dōjinshi published in a fan-produced magazine. In 1985, Miura applied for the entrance examination of an art college in Nihon University. He submitted Futanabi for examination and was granted admission. This project was later nominated Best New Author work in Weekly Shōnen Magazine. Another Miura manga Noa was published in Weekly Shōnen Magazine the very same year. Due to a disagreement with one of the editors, the manga was stalled and eventually dropped altogether. This is approximately where Miura's career hit a slump. I had to take a break after the eclipse storyline, but by chapter ~130-150 I was just completely enjoying Berserk with no caveats. It’s actually really exciting to see the process of Kentaro Miura becoming much more thoughtful about the characters and the themes he’s trying to convey. There’s no longer any weird horny ambiguity to scenes that are supposed to be horrifying, and he eventually finds a way less exhausting tonal balance with the introduction of a comic-relief child character. And women are people now!!!! I know everyone loves the conflicted holy knight Farnese, but it was specifically when Miura introduced the group of sympathetic prostitutes that I was like…okay. Maybe I can finally open my heart up to Berserk. And I’m glad I did! Even just as a piece of art made largely by one person over 30 years, Berserk really IS beautiful and astounding. I can genuinely understand why it’s considered a masterpiece.The story and villains are great, with minimal confusion on what's going on. I do admit that I do struggle to see where the plot is going though. Berserk Volume 39 TPB". Dark Horse. Archived from the original on June 26, 2020 . Retrieved March 2, 2018. Berserk Volume 26 TPB".
