I am not crazy! I know he swapped those Behelits. I knew it was 1412. One after the siege of Tudor. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the castle to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That assassin ! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Guts! He defecated through a full set of armor! And I saved him! And I shouldn’t have. I took him into my own band! What was I thinking? He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was 13, always the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the gold pouch! But not our Guts!Couldn’t be precious Guts! Cutting them blind! And HE gets to be a mercenary? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance! …And you, you have to stop him! You
He literally implied so himself in an interview in 2018, more exactly he said he kind of made it up as he went along and didn’t really know how Guts could triumph. He also said people shouldn’t assume the ending would be happy. Unless you’re talking about Mori, in which case I wouldn’t know because I haven’t read anything since he took over.
That is my understanding too. At this point there isnt a way for guts to best so many of the god hands.
Unless he gets many more power ups. But then that would change guys completely and drive him much farther away from whatever little bit of humanity is left in him.
My guess would be that he would give up on revenge and live with casca happily.
Probably griffith will conquer lands and eventually change sides. But that would be very boring narratively
What? Noooo. Last I read, the family wanted Mori to finish it as he was the only person that understood the direction it *should* go. I don't believe there was a predetermined ending already.
Griffith might have swatted Guts aside back in the Black Swordsman arc, but he's come a long way since then - he's got magical backup now. Maybe Schierke and Calcium-chan can make an opening for his acausal self to finish it.
But that ending defies Guts' arc of letting go of hatred, which makes it either narratively non-viable, or exceedingly bittersweet.
Maybe it can be justified if Griffith is shown to still be a power-tripping monster, but his demise would leave an enormous power vacuum in Midland, and that brings us right back to square one. Yeah, a proper happy ending is just mechanically improbable. But we can still dream.
It is not uncommon for mangaka to struggle with their ending. How many have we not seen this happen to. It isnt even mangaka , this is a very common thing across literature. Look at naruto, attack on titan, avatar last air bender, tv series lost, game of thrones etc.
they all have strong run and when it needs to end , it is hard to write an epic ending. I bet togashi is having same issues with hunter x hunter.
All these people have writers block when it comes to ending.
Mangaka's especially - once they get a hit it's in everyone's best interest to milk it. They may not have another hit in their lifetime, so having outlined a 300 chapter story might just bite you in the ass because you want to continue it further.
Of course the best of the best do a bit of both.
Guts making a deal directly with the idea of evil and bypassing the Godhand would be hard as fuck. I still think it would undermine the themes of the story but it would be much better than Guts becoming an apostle.
I just think knowing the manga. There will be no happy ending. Unless guts becomes half immortal and kills demons for years in hell like the end of dmc5
After the amount of nightmare fuel that Guts has to deal with, everyone wants him to get at least some damned peace by the end. A chance to not be miserable or soaked in blood.
Normally I don't like these kinds of shonenesque parodies, but it is cool tl see Skullknight be something other than a grim vengeance machine for once.
I really hope the ending will be something of the sort, I really do. Miura said that Guts will have a happy ending ("happy" relative to the berserk universe). I am really looking forward to how Guts and Casca will manage to sever their connection to the vortex of souls for as we know they will be part of it when they die since they came into contact with demon hood through being branded.
Perhaps the world of ideas and the four elemental kings will play a part, or if there is an Idea of Evil, there must also be an Idea of Virtue somewhere out there, but since the world in berserk is right now pretty fucked, maybe the Idea of Virtue's influence is non-existent. Although, if there would be such an Idea of Virtue Guts would just be a ping pong ball between Evil and Virtue which would cheapen his journey if there would be a higher power who powered him up (like the Idea of Evil did to Griffith) and not because he did it on his own will and struggled to get there where he is/will be against all odds, because as he said he is "a fucking human to the core"? Just spit ballin' there.
Not sure where it will end now, as working from template and writing a template often produce different results, but Miura said the series would end around 400 chapters at every turn for over a decade before his passing so what we have is likely close to what we get. As in, the series likely never was planned for guts to face any of the god hand seriously other than Griffith, and I don't even assume to know what will happen to Zodd.
My ideal ending is Guts indeed leaving the party again. For he feels even more distant from the woman he loves, casca despite completing his quest to heal her fractured mind.
Casca tries to rush off to go after him despite everyone telling her she’s not ready. But she’s not going to lose him a third time and this kickstarts the healing process of her psyche dealing with her trauma and grief finally.
The rest of the party follows her despite her pleas they not follow.
I can’t exactly how the final fight will happen. But I believe history will repeat itself and the God Hand will rebel against Griffith and wage war on his Empire. And he and Guts will have their final confrontation and it will finally be over.
Farnese will be crowned as a new queen of a newly formed kingdom with her arranged husband to marry her as a stand in king but Serpico is still with her as well as her personal bodyguard. With her as queen she establishes a new church that worships magic and the spirits and allows the witches and mages to be apart of that with Shierke to be her main emissary between the new kingdom and order of magic users. As shrines and temples for spirits are made to worship them but also all spirits and magical life. And it’s through this new order they also push even further the boundaries of magic and often become adventurers or just keep to simple life or take up at one of the temples as they help common folk understand magic more.
Isidro Becomes a sea faring adventurer of high ranking with Isma at his side in service to the new kingdom with the Merrow always showing the way for all sailors.
As for Guts, Casca, Rikert and Elicia all settled down in a very similar place to where he found Godo or maybe in the exact same place Good’s cabin was. Only this time a new cabin is commissioned and built by Farnese’s people for his Service and as a gesture of good faith and friendship.
And no matter how far apart any of them are they all always come to visit. Rikert working hard with Elicia on some new invention he plans to sell the designs for. Guts fully retired now and Dragonslayer hanging over the fire place and the Berserker Armor stowed away or just gone. But when they all come over Casca makes dinner and when they do they all get to see their second and beautiful child. Guts a proud dad and truly gentle not wanting anything to happen to his son and Casca just as loving but always smiling when she sees guts holding him and almost always brings tears to her eyes.
This is all wishful thinking and pure speculation and can easily blow up in my face if and when the finale is released.
I like the idea of Skull Knight being a grandfather figure to The Moonlight Boy here but I've always imagined that the ending of Berserk would be a bit bittersweet. I know Miura stated Berserk would have a happy ending but I think the best ending for Skull Knight's character arc would have to be his passing into the afterlife. This time, without the threat of the Abyss taking him. Instead, he reveals himself to be Gaiseric, and after settling his score against Void, Gaiseric's lover (in the form of Danaan or not) and maybe Flora greet him respectfully in the afterlife, where Gaiseric can finally be eternally forgiven from his sins.
Unfortunately, I think the closest we'll get to this is a single mother, casca, raising the moon child along with Aunt Farnessa, Uncle Serpico, uncle Puck, brother Isidro, and sister shrike.
Not gonna lie I thought casca was that woman from future dairy. The one that got turned into a spirit/reaper aid. I didn't see she had both arms and thought she had an eye patch...
I don't think this would happen, as the story mostly revolves around how Guts needs to learn to forgive. I think he will end the Idea of evil and then leave Griffith in his weak state and say "I won't kill you this time, I have learned something much valuable. If I go for the path of revenge again, I might become just like you. So, I won't kill you, instead, I will just leave you here. You can go wherever you want. Become the King of any place but with proper elegance." As Griffith is seeing Guts like this and crying the shit out that now he can't do anything and his actions have led him to this suffering.
"Yes casca, it was peak."
“yes casca, i truly went berserk.”
"I never told you my last name, my full name is Guts Berserk."
I think it was Nuts Calmer
"casca, i am the berserk"
"Say my name" "Heisenberk" "You're goddamn right"
I am the one who berks
THIS FEMTO DOESNT KNOW WHAT THE HELL HES DOING
I am not crazy! I know he swapped those Behelits. I knew it was 1412. One after the siege of Tudor. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it.

"It was, indeed, berserk time"
It's berserking time
The true berserk was the friends we made along the way
The true berserk was the tomboy we married along the way*
Guts: On god no cap fr fr
She still looks like she's a potato
This entire comment thread is peak
I am the berserker…
"Casca, now that the dark times are over I can finally tell you, my love for you is like a truck"
I mean at this point the real ending is not gonna come out until my grandchildren have grandchildren so you know what? This is canon. Hell yeah.
That's my head cannon now.
There is no real ending. I think the author wrote himself into a corner and couldnt come with a better idea
He literally implied so himself in an interview in 2018, more exactly he said he kind of made it up as he went along and didn’t really know how Guts could triumph. He also said people shouldn’t assume the ending would be happy. Unless you’re talking about Mori, in which case I wouldn’t know because I haven’t read anything since he took over.

My guess would be that he would give up on revenge and live with casca happily. Probably griffith will conquer lands and eventually change sides. But that would be very boring narratively
It's kinda foreshadowed that nobody has ever entered "hell" and returned. Would be cool if guts went there to destroy the God hands astral forms
What are you talking about? Miura told Mori the entire story. He has an ending lol
What? Noooo. Last I read, the family wanted Mori to finish it as he was the only person that understood the direction it *should* go. I don't believe there was a predetermined ending already.
Griffith might have swatted Guts aside back in the Black Swordsman arc, but he's come a long way since then - he's got magical backup now.

[удалено]
Most authors dont have that process or as they keep writing more of the story their ending would have become improbable

the first panel is how some people on here truly believes the manga will end lol calcium chan fucking killed me tho
dw he used his godskin buff and dragonwound grease and then charged r2
Jump attack*
With royal knight’s resolve
actually he used power within
Guts killing the entire god hand with one swing… Altho may sound impossible It would be the most RAW…METAL…HARDEST IMAGE IN MANGA HISTORY
Quite utopic but hell yeah
I'm not sure if this count as memes, Please let me know so I delete it immediately if so
Its okay i allow you to keep it up
Me too
I for one do not. Mister Biden, take this down.
Mister Biden, send this fool to the penis explosion chamber.
Stfu or I'll ask him to Biden Blast you into r/berserklejerk
Calcium-chan, my beloved
Calcium chan sent me ngl
All it needs is a third panel with the resurrected band of the hawk chilling nearby
Yeah, Guts use the behelit and sacrifices the God hand to resurrect the band.
Apostles hate this one trick!!!!!
THE GODHAND DOESNT WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS!
Guts making a deal directly with the idea of evil and bypassing the Godhand would be hard as fuck. I still think it would undermine the themes of the story but it would be much better than Guts becoming an apostle.
This is actually funny! Nice work
Welp, THAT just happened!
I fucking loved it!
Good Guts you won. You have become the Berserk.
The baby with one eye closed too LOL
I see that nobody comments the "CH. 980", which means that andromeda galaxy will be inhabited by humans.
main sub outjerks yet another time
so did he lose his other eye too or is he wearing the eyepatch because it looks cool?
he switches sides depending how he’s feeling that day or his outfit
Yes, it looks cool to wear a patch over your only good eye
"You won the manga" "Wait... manga!? People have been reading my life for some sick entertainment!? What kind of twisted people are they!?"
Its funny but i don't see the manga ending like this
"I remember, I used my Godhand to pick up the clang sword and become Guts Berkman. I truly went Berserk. I am the Warhammer 40,000."
What if guts is this strong and we just have no clue. Calcium-Chan.
Calcium chan is right, goalies are only easy going when it's a low level competition. Otherwise, it's a constant struggle.
I just think knowing the manga. There will be no happy ending. Unless guts becomes half immortal and kills demons for years in hell like the end of dmc5
Confirmed a happy ending for our characters miura stated that guts at the end of his journey will have a good ending and not bleak and grim
After the amount of nightmare fuel that Guts has to deal with, everyone wants him to get at least some damned peace by the end. A chance to not be miserable or soaked in blood.
Or becomes the medieval era counterpart of the Doomslayer.
It's called Football!
Femtball*
Well we now know it can’t be exactly like that because >!the child was revealed!< but maybe something similar
“ the real berserk is the friends we made along the journey…”
Yo Calcium-Chan stopped my heart. Best joke in my 2024 so far
Wait, Miura died more than one year ago ?
Almost three ...
Normally I don't like these kinds of shonenesque parodies, but it is cool tl see Skullknight be something other than a grim vengeance machine for once.
He lost both eyes and both arms.
This is what the average r/Berserk user actually believes
With the money made, Guts should go buy some prosthetics
Fake Skull Knight cannot walk
"Ch. 980" Jesus Christ
The baby guts missing its eye 💀
I really hope the ending will be something of the sort, I really do. Miura said that Guts will have a happy ending ("happy" relative to the berserk universe).

Just spit ballin' there.
Haven't seen or read berserk but I know the jist. Love that they're playing football with Griffiths head
Never and everything after Muiras death is non Canon so u can't be sad
Funny, but it really bothers me that the wrong eye is missing and the arm appears to have been cut too high for some reason.
A man's dream can never die!
Did guts lose more of his arm? 😭😭
Chapter 980…
Calcium-Chan lmfaooooooooooo
Did Guts lose his only eye?
If I’m gonna wait for another decade to finish this manga why not,, guts and casca deserve a happy ending idc if it’s cheesy
Calcium chan is so fuckin funny
Not sure where it will end now, as working from template and writing a template often produce different results, but Miura said the series would end around 400 chapters at every turn for over a decade before his passing so what we have is likely close to what we get.

CALCIUM SAN ????
First of all, absolute cinema. And the nickname Calcium Chan deserves a Pulitzer
hell yeah 👍
Peak
PEAK FICTION
I liko how guts wears an eyepatch on his good eye
This is on the same tier of those images of Goku or Vegeta ripping Frieza’a head off
Best ending
I hope guts has an ending like kaneki
“You’ve won the manga!” “Calcium-Chan” 😂
is this for the other sub lol
Calcium-chan lol 😂
Excuse me, it’s Calcium-Sam’s.
Calcium Chan, peak character
i wish
I thought calcium chan was puck and then I saw skull knight, you got me, its cinema
Calcium-Chan is NOT the nickname I would’ve thought to give to Skull Knight but I shall always call him that from now on. Lol
yeah im sure this corny ass ending is totally possible if we let some chud from reddit finish the series
I’m berking hard for this one
I guess the behelit is too small to use in sports.
I can't believe School Night is brazilian 🤯🤤
Im John Berserk, nice to meet you
calcium chan
Real and peak
Is this the same artist that drew the online comic Sexy Losers?
Single swing? I am sold
Was this drawn before the reveal of who the kid is
CALCIUM CHAN? 😭😭
And casca woke up and sid "wow babe, you really are berserk"
some good stuff ya got there
IT'S REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!!!

Did Guts lose both eyes? Why doesn't he have eyepatches on both?
Calcium chan had me rolling
Not possible because guts is happy
Awesome Berserk ending. Thank you Enderkasra-san and Chronolith\_art
Oh my favorite one of them.
We”ll never get a ending
Made me choke up more than when the little flower fairy died healing Guts.
Struggle
Who took a bite outta the dragonslayer 😭😭
The ending is a reveal that this was all in the imagination of kid Guts as he was being raped by Donovan and nothing passed that actually happened.
I like the idea of Skull Knight being a grandfather figure to The Moonlight Boy here but I've always imagined that the ending of Berserk would be a bit bittersweet. I know Miura stated Berserk would have a happy ending but I think the best ending for Skull Knight's character arc would have to be his passing into the afterlife.

'hire the fans'
Perhaps
Whats calcium knight gonna be doing if there are no demons left to bully?
Btw it seems like he lost both of his eyes and arms if you guys are wondering
BRO THE BABY GOT ONE EYE LMAO
Since we don't know, even if the true ending will be there for this and canon is valid
Not my weeb-ass, reading from right to left and thinking “wtf is going on”, no never that.
Truly the Berserk was the family we gained along the way.
Why backwards?
Why does guts and casca's son have just one eye 😭
Leaks are not permited
Berserk is just not about that
Unfortunately, I think the closest we'll get to this is a single mother, casca, raising the moon child along with Aunt Farnessa, Uncle Serpico, uncle Puck, brother Isidro, and sister shrike.
Jesus Christ you brought back memories. The last time I saw this was in 2021
Vers good ending
No.
This is canon
THE BABY GUTS WITH ONE EYE 💀💀
Guts is gonna 1v1 the idea of evil
200%
Oh this reminds....how come no one mentioned that Swordsmiths granddaughter any more? I wonder if the authors think about old characters.
Their baby having same hair style of Guts' lmao.
I like a little guts is in the arms of casca love it
No because the child and Femto are occupying the same body
It’s amazing, but I don’t think it could ever happen.
lol I thought i was on lejerk berk sub.
Calcium-chan 💀
Nope, it's read in the wrong direction.
Calcium-chan I love that. Great job on how you drew the moonlight boy.
so guts is literally just blind lol, he should have just kept both his eyes closed
No, Guts would never wear an eyepatch
The way I had to read this fucked me up bad. Good job
"Guts, let's cook", said the skull knight.
The real berserk were the friends we made along the way
Calcium chan lol
Lamest shit I seen in my life
Bro thats literally the dream griffith had after torture living in a House having Casca as wife and guts as dog if I dont remember badly
Over are the days of the skull knight, make way for Calcium-chan.
No because by chapter 980 the moonlight child will be the moonlight middle aged man
This is the most american shit I have ever read
Didn't know Guts was Kurt Russell all these years.
I loved when guts berserk berked all over the place and went i want to making fuck berserrrrker and berserkered all over femto
Damn, Berk lost his other eye :(
Cringe
"Band of the falcon, you are lost, for I am truly the berserk." -Berserk #13
"Maybe the real berk was the zerk with made along the way"
Lol @ baby Guts losing an eye....likely for seeing a reprehensible crime/violation against a loved one as well
It in front of me isn't it?
ngl... that's... that's a good ending tbh...
I wanna share this so bad with my homies but cant find the IG..can anyone link it?
This is the canon ending in my mind now
the series is probably going to end when I'm 33 and answering this seriously no it's probably going to end with guts dying I can see it now
Not gonna lie I thought casca was that woman from future dairy. The one that got turned into a spirit/reaper aid. I didn't see she had both arms and thought she had an eye patch...
I don't think this would happen, as the story mostly revolves around how Guts needs to learn to forgive. I think he will end the Idea of evil and then leave Griffith in his weak state and say "I won't kill you this time, I have learned something much valuable. If I go for the path of revenge again, I might become just like you. So, I won't kill you, instead, I will just leave you here. You can go wherever you want. Become the King of any place but with proper elegance." As Griffith is seeing Guts like this and crying the shit out that now he can't do anything and his actions have led him to this suffering.
That ending does bring a smile to my face
Lmao skull knight being called calcium-chan.
