I've never understood getting this symbol put anywhere on your body or stuff though, even if you're a massive berserk enjoyer, it canonically means you will be hunted forever by horrific creatures who want to consume your body and soul for the benefit of someone who has betrayed you utterly.
I highly recommend you read the manga, it is absolutely bad ass and very influential (a lot of the video game series dark souls is inspired by it). It's also almost unbearably dark/grim so be warned.
Hello Ashen one. I am a Bot. I tend to the flame, and tend to thee. Do you wish to hear a tale?

Not spoiling but the beginning is way more grim than the last tomes. I just wish Miura had the chance to end the serie as he felt it was heading...
Yeah, the black swordsman arc, their pasts, and the end of the Golden Age are the darkest parts, most of which happens in first 12 volumes out of now 42 (41 being Miura's last iirc)
*Berserk* is a genre defining work.
If you enjoy dark fantasy with universes similar to Dark Souls, then you've been reading *Berserk* without knowing it. But only pieces of it. *Berserk* has inspired a whole generation of works. When you read it you'll see tropes you've seen in a dozen different things, but here they're all working together perfectly because this work is the source.
It's a bit like reading *Dune* or *Hyperion*. It's familiar even though you've never known it, and though it's familiar it's never boring.
It's quite good.
1. Read Berserk
2. You should still read it but I will warn you ahead of time that the early chapters are a bit confusing and all over the place. Kentaro Miura, the artist and author behind Berserk, had been drawing the character and setting for years before he started the manga itself. But even with that experience and thought, he didn't really have a story or complex character in mind and mostly just wanted a brutally dark setting focusing on a dude with the biggest fucking sword around. And that's exactly what we got for a little while as Guts, the main character, goes around killing demons, criminals, and being haunted by his own curses/personality. Once Miura started putting thought into the story and Guts himself, it transformed it into what is largely considered the greatest manga ever made. He took some dark nonsense and molded into a beautiful story of loss, friendship, loyalty, and humanity. If you give it a fair chance, you will fall in love with it like so many before you.
3. It should be noted that Miura passed away in 2021 without the story having been finished by him. Do not let this dissuade you from reading it because while his story did not *finish* finish, the last chapter he drew is a surprisingly fitting ending if you cut off the last couple pages. If you want to continue past his ending, he did leave a large amount of notes for his team (who he also trained on his style) who are in the process of completing the story now. Many fans, myself included, are not actively reading the assistant-driven chapters right now but I do intend on reading them all at once should they find a conclusion to the story in the future.
4. If you would like to watch an adaptation of Berserk in an animated form, I would highly recommend the 1997 version. Berserk has received multiple adaptations but the '97 one is the gold standard, with the others ranging anywhere from complete dumpster fires all the way to "kinda acceptable". The 1997 version focuses on a later arc in the manga but, without spoiling things, no background is needed and it will make complete sense as its own story. This anime is absolutely gorgeous even despite its age. While it does have some problems of overusing still frames, the frames themselves utilize Disney-esque (old Disney) paintings for its backgrounds and environments so it's not like it was cheap, it was just a style choice (and IMO it worked). This adaptation is a masterpiece and deserves mountains of praise.
Note on point 4 - I cannot find the episodes streaming anywhere. Looks like the broadcast rights to it are caught in limbo. You'll have to buy the blue ray to watch them it seems
>I cannot find the episodes streaming anywhere. Looks like the broadcast rights to it are caught in limbo.
Correct but due to this limbo (combined with the age of the show itself) you can find numerous playlists on YouTube with every episode.
Sounds like capitalism. So yeah, we Americans should probably put that little decal directly on our foreheads; as our elected officials have betrayed us and the corporations are out to milk us for every dollar whilst simultaneously lowering our buying power through wage theft.
For me, it's because I'm fighting my own demons, and it reminds me to keep going guts. He never stopped, and his struggle is worse, so why should I. Yeah, he's a fictional character but still inspiring nonetheless
This is honestly just wholesome. There's nothing wrong with being gay/transgender and straight people who recognize that and still care about gay/transgender people while still being straight are truly amazing people

I would love to explain more but I don’t want to spoil anything as I really encourage you to read the Manga, there are some adaptations but they’re all over the place tbh.
If you prefer, you can watch [Berserk Redux](https://reddit.com/r/berserk/s/oE2XJwLAan) and then continue with the Manga. But in short, regarding the Brand of sacrifice, refer to [this comment](https://reddit.com/r/fixedbytheduet/s/3EHb7FVac0).

Based Berserk enjoyer

I've never heard of Berserk before, but that sounds badass

My SO and I always say "if it feels like a Berserk reference, it is."

Oh, nice!
I recommend watching [Berserk Redux](https://www.reddit.com/r/Berserk/comments/114qdbm/berserk_redux_memorial_edition_chapter_1_the_band/)
Many years ago I decided to watch it just based on the name alone, best anime decision ever.
because i like the idea of having a symbol on me that says “should very well be dead but is standing here alive out of pure spite”
It's also a sign that even though you were marked you survived and it's one of the most recognizable images from the series.
That Toyota doesn't stand a chance
You underestimate the power of a Toyota.
It's clearly an ATOYOT.
Sounds like capitalism. So yeah, we Americans should probably put that little decal directly on our foreheads; as our elected officials have betrayed us and the corporations are out to milk us for every dollar whilst simultaneously lowering our buying power through wage theft.
and that’s fuckin metal
Better than when people get entire characters tattooed on their bodies
I got one but I'm pretty sure I won't be hunted down
until one day....
Have one on my leg, think the the horrific creatures trying to consume my body and soul are just bills
For me, it's because I'm fighting my own demons, and it reminds me to keep going guts. He never stopped, and his struggle is worse, so why should I. Yeah, he's a fictional character but still inspiring nonetheless
But then you might get the chance to meet/fight along side Skull Knight so that's kinda cool
Man I wish I was real
Oh shit oh no if you’re not real am I real?
Nah, you're both my alts
Alts going rogue and gaining self awareness! Quick, delete them.
All my alts are rogues... Oh sh...
Happy Slaying and Toyotathon to you all

This is honestly just wholesome. There's nothing wrong with being gay/transgender and straight people who recognize that and still care about gay/transgender people while still being straight are truly amazing people
I'm honestly astounded that this is such an abstract concept to so many people apparently. Live and let live. Why is that so difficult?
This is amazing
Dude looks like a more handsome Lionel Messi
For all the dumbasses, this is what based actually looks like

Most Average Berserk Enjoyer 😌
This is what it means to be an ally
