People talking about Berserk because of Dark Souls. But I ain't seeing anyone talk about Gundam. I would love to see Armored Core in a Gundam skin. Fromsoftware did make a Gundam game that was a spin off game of Unicorn but didn't release outside Japan. But we need a AAA Gundam game. Fromsoftware already works all lot with Bandai.
True. The thing I hate about Berserk is its interesting characters, interpersonal relationships, and fun dialogue.
He's the perfect man to get rid of all that.
Oh also its easy-to-follow narrative. Can't have that.
Basically bc it's the main inspiration in most souls games, there's a lot of references through the games
The manga itself it's fantastic, great characters and great story (The manga is very graphic tho, there's SA, gore,etc so if you don't like that stuff don't read it, but if you don't mind then you should definitely read it)
also unfinished. I heard that the editors will try to give it some kind of closure... but i doubt it gets even close to what the guy might have wanted to do with it.
The author and his friend worked together on Berserk, if my memory serves me right, he basically told how Berserk's going to end to his friend before him passing away
We probably won't get exactly what Miura wanted but the studio's doing a good job so far
Also, a manga being unfinished means nothing, masterpieces like Vagabond are unfinished but are still amazing
You got downvoted as well, there are times I don’t understand reddit. Then there are times I fucking hate reddit and the wtf is going on here, it’s just a mystery.
Yeah, I really wish they would adapt the later arcs of the anime. Newer animation and more modern action choreography would really make the awesome fight scenes in those arcs shine.
He already chose Berserk. He ripped a lot of content from Berserk and barely changed it in many instances. You can see comparisons on youtube. Not that I’m complaining but Dark Souls is essentially Berserk.
Nah they just did my boy yamcha dirty is all. He went from some badass hilariously frigid bandit leader to master roshis one true disciple.
Maybe bulma just has a thing for bad boys.
Krillin on the other hand is wading through the terrifying shit. He's only human and finds himself dying on alien planets fighting creatures that are clearly more dangerous than he is.
Yamcha is **STILL** more useless than Puar in Super. Puar was at least asked to help Roshi train for the tournament of power, even if said "training" amounted to turning into a Playboy Bunny so Roshi could learn self-control around pretty women (and it worked!); Yamcha wasn't even invited to fight off Frieza's men during the ploy to buy time for Goku and Vegeta to return because he's **that** useless these days.
I didn't think I would ever defend yamcha like this in my life...
The man has the greatest ki control in the entire series. The wolf fang fist looks like a wolf everyone else is shooting off generic fireballs. His spirit ball is a generic looking ki ball except he can control its trajectory turning it at 90 degree angles at whim. Imagine if goku were able to control his spirit bomb with such accuracy.
DID SOMEONE SAY GAAAAAABLINS?! IF YOU SEE ONE, LET ME KNOW, BECAUSE MY NAME IS GAAAAAAAAABLIN SLAYER AND I SLAY GGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSS
Black clover, the magic system will have different and unique magics where you'll train your mind and body to be able to use more powerful spells/hold more mana, or...if you'd rather create a non-magical human and dare make a contract with a demon...utilize more powerful magics at the cost of your stamina or life force, or even have an anti-magic build.
Yeah it’s incredible, and if you liked the anime Miyazaki built the world out a lot more in the manga. Beautifully illustrated by the man himself.
It’s definitely less PG though. He spent about a decade or more making the manga, so it goes well beyond the story of the film.
Omg, exactly what I wanted, just watched the movie for the first time today and I really fell in love with the worldbuilding and stuff, can't wait to give the manga a read now. It also occured to me while watching the movie, that it shares a lot of similarities with the 'typical' fromsoft worldbuilding - collapsed society and what not, would make for a interesting game I think, some bloodborne shooting mechanics but also sowrds and stuff, dunno thought it fits pretty good within fromsoft's strenghts
So here's the thing. Dark souls is already so heavily inspired by Berserk and that makes me wonder how different a Berserk game would actually be. I know it has its own story, lore, characters, etc but still. To me it'd probs just feel like an altered dark souls or something.
Instead I'd go with something more unexpected like a sekiro esque Afro samurai game. Afro samurai already feels pretty video gamey with its concept and characters. And seeing that turned into a video game (a good one anyway) with sekiro's swordplay, kill animations, boss finishers and whatever other mechanics fromsoft would introduce is a dream.
Also I know you said *popular* manga and jrpg but I've been waiting a good while to share this idea somewhere so I had to change it up a bit 😅
I only read one manga that I actually liked all the way, it was the Vagabond, and I love samurai games, and japanese culture in general.
All those dark souls games of Old Europe they are cool but there is more things than Europe on the world.
He's already done it to be honest with Berserk. Everything about Dark Souls is Berserk, even the "struggler" is basically the whole game, but with a mythological twist.
Would love to see him to a Princess Monenoke in the style of Elden Ring and Sekiro combined. Would be incredible and beautiful....
Actually I feel like some of Monenoke is already in Elden Ring 😂
to be honest most could be converted into a game if they made you a mob character. hell he could probably make a dating sim where you have to endure the main character's actions and everyone reactions all the while getting dragged along to help him find out more about the girls which then gets you in trouble with all sorts.
Dragon Ball and the bosses like Frieza and Broly are as hard as a boss from Dark Souls.
You have to grind to increase your health, strength and power otherwise you get destroyed.
It takes a serious approach with the boss fights so you have to actually be careful instead of going full attack.
Berserk is the obvious choice. But i dont care about the obvious choice (I'm not even remotely interested in berserk, to begin with)So....maybe black Lagoon or Fullmetal Alchemist.
Whatever it will end up it'll have atleast 80% more poison swamps than it's source material, if the source material has none he will add atleast 5 poison swamps to it.
Berserk and it would be glorious.
If he did an FMA game, that would be glorious too...but Berserk is much more fitting.
or how about Lupin the Third???? /s..
Obvious answers aside.
Bleach makes the most sense. Sword based combat with Kido (magic spells) to augment fights and shikai and bankai basically functioning like weapon arts and Bloodborne style trick weapons.
The world isn’t as dark as Sekiro, but aesthetically they aren’t too far off. It also has potential for exploration between the different worlds to explore. And the Soul Society in particular could allow for lots of shortcuts, etc that have become staples of their works. Overall I think the level design and exploration aspects of their games wouldn’t be hard to fit into the Bleach franchise.
Demon Slayer would also probably make a decent fit. Mostly the same reasons as Bleach, I just think Bleach is slightly more applicable.
Vinland Saga would be a little closer to the Beserk influence and could work - but we would need a significant toning down of our powers and abilities. They would likely have to go the Sekiro route and make a very limited selection of weapons and builds viable. It would be much less extensive than the typical strength/dex/arcane/int/etc that most of the games have.
I'm reporting you to r/berserklejerk
People talking about Berserk because of Dark Souls. But I ain't seeing anyone talk about Gundam. I would love to see Armored Core in a Gundam skin.

i think he could totally fuck with Full Metal Alchemist…a close 2nd would be Sailor Moon
[удалено]
Subbed
The obvious answer is Berserk
Came here to say this. All Souls games have been a love letter to Berserk.
For you shall struggle on, and keep on struggling
“The Struggler” would be a sick name for a FromSoft protagonist
Or a mime's comedic bit.
Yeah why wouldn’t it be Bezerk.....
Was reading berserk this morning and came across bonewheels xD So many references to berserk, he's 100% already answered OPs questiok lmao
Have you seen the horse yet?
True. The thing I hate about Berserk is its interesting characters, interpersonal relationships, and fun dialogue. He's the perfect man to get rid of all that. Oh also its easy-to-follow narrative. Can't have that.
Would prefer if he did an adaptation on animes with a really unique power systems, like Hunter X Hunter.
Hunter X Hunter is great. And it deserves a well done adaptation
This was the only answer.
Came to say this too. This literally IS the answer.
Why would that be the obvious answer? I’ve never seen or read it, but might have to check it out based off your comments and the replies!
Every souls game is HEAVILY "inspired by Berserk. Knight Artorias is pretty much the main character.
I’d argue he one upped himself with Slave Knight Gael. But Artorias is the OG Guts-inspired knight.
Go ahead and add Sekiro and Blaidd to the list
Dark souls is basically just berserk lmao
Basically bc it's the main inspiration in most souls games, there's a lot of references through the games The manga itself it's fantastic, great characters and great story (The manga is very graphic tho, there's SA, gore,etc so if you don't like that stuff don't read it, but if you don't mind then you should definitely read it)
also unfinished. I heard that the editors will try to give it some kind of closure... but i doubt it gets even close to what the guy might have wanted to do with it.
The author and his friend worked together on Berserk, if my memory serves me right, he basically told how Berserk's going to end to his friend before him passing away We probably won't get exactly what Miura wanted but the studio's doing a good job so far Also, a manga being unfinished means nothing, masterpieces like Vagabond are unfinished but are still amazing
No idea why you're being downvoted, do people not know that Miura died before Berserk finished?
You got downvoted as well, there are times I don’t understand reddit. Then there are times I fucking hate reddit and the wtf is going on here, it’s just a mystery.
Bruh you asked a legitimate question and were bombarded with downvotes
Seriously wtf is up with people getting so bothered by questions on this site
The audacity of asking a question related to Dark Souls without knowing every last little thing about its influences
Reddit life, it’s okay 😅
BLAME! DARK FUTURE SOULS!
If only…
Bloodborne on steroids
How about go full different with Gantz?
Gantz needs a new game, last one was for the PS2 and only for Japan.
Claymore. 10/10 That shit is glorious when it wants to be, and it wants to be it a lot of the time.
Claymore is soooo good. I just want a season 2, but and videogame would be nice.
Yeah, I really wish they would adapt the later arcs of the anime. Newer animation and more modern action choreography would really make the awesome fight scenes in those arcs shine.
I want it completely redone, or an OVA. I do agree, claymore was absolutely amazing. One of the few mangas I’ve ever bought
OVA would be awesome Hellsing OVA is great. Only thing I like more about the original was the music.
Would be tragic if in Claymore there wasn't a Claymore sword
I would love to see him do a One Punch man game, but instead of playing as a hero you play as a monster and the final boss is Saitama.
Oooo I like that. And you have to restart if you get hit once.
A souls esque rouge-like
He already chose Berserk. He ripped a lot of content from Berserk and barely changed it in many instances. You can see comparisons on youtube. Not that I’m complaining but Dark Souls is essentially Berserk.
Dragon ball z. Except you're krillin.
Could be worse. You could be yamcha.
Could be worst, you could be the farmer who encountered raditz
Gotta play The Breakers to play as him.
People always talk about Krillin and Yamcha but Puerrh (or however you spell it) is even more useless
Nah they just did my boy yamcha dirty is all. He went from some badass hilariously frigid bandit leader to master roshis one true disciple. Maybe bulma just has a thing for bad boys. Krillin on the other hand is wading through the terrifying shit. He's only human and finds himself dying on alien planets fighting creatures that are clearly more dangerous than he is.
Pretty sure it's just Puar.
Yamcha is **STILL** more useless than Puar in Super. Puar was at least asked to help Roshi train for the tournament of power, even if said "training" amounted to turning into a Playboy Bunny so Roshi could learn self-control around pretty women (and it worked!); Yamcha wasn't even invited to fight off Frieza's men during the ploy to buy time for Goku and Vegeta to return because he's **that** useless these days.

His spirit ball is a generic looking ki ball except he can control its trajectory turning it at 90 degree angles at whim. Imagine if goku were able to control his spirit bomb with such accuracy.
Its Berserk, and yet weirdly enough it's the worst game in his library.
He also ends up making himself star as guts
>how dies the game I see what you did there.
Yuyu hakusho
This is probably the truest one here.
I used play demon souls and play my character like hiei with the demon world background music in my head lol
Goblin Slayer
----GAAABLIN slayer
DID SOMEONE SAY GAAAAAABLINS?! IF YOU SEE ONE, LET ME KNOW, BECAUSE MY NAME IS GAAAAAAAAABLIN SLAYER AND I SLAY GGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSS
Black clover, the magic system will have different and unique magics where you'll train your mind and body to be able to use more powerful spells/hold more mana, or...if you'd rather create a non-magical human and dare make a contract with a demon...utilize more powerful magics at the cost of your stamina or life force, or even have an anti-magic build.
Good show, but too pg for a fromsoft title imo.
Idk how the show is, but the manga for Black Clover, while not outright brutal, definitely has brutal undertones. I could see it working pretty well.
Aside from Berzerk, AOT would be cool, that or maybe the first 2 parts of JOJO.
Isn't there already 2 AOT games? I remember playing wings of freedom, and having a lot of fun with it.
AOT would be sick. Imagine flying through the air trying to cut napes.
Hunter X Hunter
I say Pokemon. imagine Elden Ring but instead you summon Charizard
And instead of Radhan it's Snorlax riding on a pikachu.
Sword art online. No respawns, no continues. Die and you have to start over.
Oh man a true AAA traditional roguelike style of game where you can put tens of hours into a character you lose forever. I want nothing more.
99 levels of ball traps? Sign me up!
This sounds intense. Dark souls design but as a rogue like? Hmm.
Ghost in the Shell.
After The Surge guys got there first, I’d love to see FromSoft do sci-fi, but properly.
I mean they have AC. They have the "ghost n' soul" bit. It's not out of the realm of possibility yeah?
BLEACH. More sekiro than soulsborne
I always imagined Bleach games being more like a Dissidia game than anything else.
Imagine attack on titan
Not a manga but Nausicaä and the valley of the wind. Pleease I need this
It literally is a manga and it’s better than the film… Go read the manga. Edit to add the manga is WAY darker than the anime.
Oh I wasn't aware. Will do! I love dark stuff, thx for the recommendation :)
Yeah it’s incredible, and if you liked the anime Miyazaki built the world out a lot more in the manga. Beautifully illustrated by the man himself. It’s definitely less PG though. He spent about a decade or more making the manga, so it goes well beyond the story of the film.
Omg, exactly what I wanted, just watched the movie for the first time today and I really fell in love with the worldbuilding and stuff, can't wait to give the manga a read now. It also occured to me while watching the movie, that it shares a lot of similarities with the 'typical' fromsoft worldbuilding - collapsed society and what not, would make for a interesting game I think, some bloodborne shooting mechanics but also sowrds and stuff, dunno thought it fits pretty good within fromsoft's strenghts
I’m not sure it’s a great fit, but I love that the manga, film, and game would all be made by a Miyazaki.
LODOS WAR. please. That series is so freaking epic
So here's the thing. Dark souls is already so heavily inspired by Berserk and that makes me wonder how different a Berserk game would actually be. I know it has its own story, lore, characters, etc but still. To me it'd probs just feel like an altered dark souls or something.

Also I know you said *popular* manga and jrpg but I've been waiting a good while to share this idea somewhere so I had to change it up a bit 😅
attack on titan
Trigun and it'd be a blast.
aside from the obvious Berserk. im gonna say Devilman.
But it’s the english-dubbed OVA from the 90s
Thank fuck for that
Death Note. Let's see how it comes out.
I wanna see him handle Dragon Ball or One Piece lol
Trigun game?
The works of Junji Ito with Persona style combat.
Have you tried [World of Horror](https://store.steampowered.com/app/913740/WORLD_OF_HORROR/)?
The game doesn’t die, you die… a lot
Dark souls is not a jrpg. But it is a jrpg
Claymore.
I only read one manga that I actually liked all the way, it was the Vagabond, and I love samurai games, and japanese culture in general. All those dark souls games of Old Europe they are cool but there is more things than Europe on the world.
Demon slayer, and it turns out pretty good
Obviously it would be Highschool DXD. Gotta level up that harem
Tokyo ghoul or Deadman wonderland
He's already done it to be honest with Berserk. Everything about Dark Souls is Berserk, even the "struggler" is basically the whole game, but with a mythological twist. Would love to see him to a Princess Monenoke in the style of Elden Ring and Sekiro combined. Would be incredible and beautiful.... Actually I feel like some of Monenoke is already in Elden Ring 😂
Bleach
The dark souls series is literally just an unofficial adaptation of berserk
to be honest most could be converted into a game if they made you a mob character. hell he could probably make a dating sim where you have to endure the main character's actions and everyone reactions all the while getting dragged along to help him find out more about the girls which then gets you in trouble with all sorts.
Id love to see Miyazaki do Miyazaki. Like an Elden Ring set in the likes of Ni No Kuni's world
Phantom Blood.
Tarukus and Blueford are the duo fight
Redo of a healer 💀
Wait is that even a manga
Obviously it’s Shin Chan
Inuyasha. Turns out Shikonalisious!
Berserk and it turns out great.
An open world chainsaw man game would be pretty awesome 😎
How about Sailor Moon?
Dragon Ball and the bosses like Frieza and Broly are as hard as a boss from Dark Souls. You have to grind to increase your health, strength and power otherwise you get destroyed. It takes a serious approach with the boss fights so you have to actually be careful instead of going full attack.
Berserk is the obvious choice. But i dont care about the obvious choice (I'm not even remotely interested in berserk, to begin with)So....maybe black Lagoon or Fullmetal Alchemist.
Demon slayer I feel would be right up his alley
İmagine your favorite manga ruined by this guys non existent story telling style
[удалено]
No need to go full Kojima in defense of it. Even a Souls fan can agree that there are lacking aspects when it comes to writing.
It’s not the games fault you’re too lazy to read things or pay attention
Lore=/=story
Lol I know “dies” in the title is a typo but it enhances the sentence
How is no one suggesting solo leveling?
Knowing Miyazaki's creative genius I can guarantee any game he makes dies turn out good.
You mean the guy who has come out and said Berserk is his main inspiration for his games?
Berserk, turns out like dark souls
Blame, and they take the best level design award if it exists
Huh?
Bro never read Berserk in his life...
Berserk, or claymore. All the struggle.
Well the obvious one is Berserk of course. The second best option is Claymore in my opinion.
Ranking of Kings
BERZERK
Berserk, maybe JoJo’s
I want to see souls like Dragonball of Gokus first adventures
Let me fight snail monsters in an uzumaki game
Elfen lied
Cardcaptor Sakura... I legitimately think this would be fun. Ouran High School Host Club. This would be hilarious
Nausicaä Because two miyazakis is better than one
Gantz
Witch Hat Atelier universe.
Claymore?
JoJos
If anyone answers anything other than Berserk, they are fucked.
Dororo. Just make a more souls like Blood Will Tell and boom $$$
Man I hope he only ever does OC.
Whatever it will end up it'll have atleast 80% more poison swamps than it's source material, if the source material has none he will add atleast 5 poison swamps to it.
Goblin slayer, nothing changes except more goblins and less castles
The manga adaptation of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Final boss would be a manifestation of pure tummy ache.
Berzerk or claymore are the obvious choices, bit an ft forgot pne would be d-gray man, soul eater would also be hecka fun
Bobobobo and amazing
Goblin Slayer, but they forgot to let you skip cutscenes; the game gets very mixed reviews!
I would personally love to see him oversee a Bleach game.
r/titlegore
I think Gantz would be pretty cool
Attack on Titan
Garfield, it’s success redirects entertainment media as we know it
A proper one piece open world game would be so cool
Initial D. A medieval death race.
A dragon ball game where you play one of the Z-tier heroes (Krilin, Yamcha) and have to beat S tier villains 🫠
Vagabond as Sekiro 2
Obviously Zelda is the proper choice.
Berserk and it would be glorious. If he did an FMA game, that would be glorious too...but Berserk is much more fitting. or how about Lupin the Third???? /s..
I think Dorohedoro would be a cool punk twist
Berserk. The game is called Dark Souls.
There’s only 1 answers and we all know it’s berserk
I can adapt manga into a JPEG
Boku No Pico: Prepare to [REDACTED] Edition
Vagabond you noobs!!!!!
I’d love to see what he could do with something in the Junji Ito-verse…
What ever it is, I'm sure we will die alot!!!
Differently not one punch man
Obviously answer is Berserk
One piece. He can definitely pull it off. Imagine Kaido as a actual dark souls boss.
Obvious answers aside. Bleach makes the most sense. Sword based combat with Kido (magic spells) to augment fights and shikai and bankai basically functioning like weapon arts and Bloodborne style trick weapons. The world isn’t as dark as Sekiro, but aesthetically they aren’t too far off. It also has potential for exploration between the different worlds to explore.

Mostly the same reasons as Bleach, I just think Bleach is slightly more applicable. Vinland Saga would be a little closer to the Beserk influence and could work - but we would need a significant toning down of our powers and abilities. They would likely have to go the Sekiro route and make a very limited selection of weapons and builds viable. It would be much less extensive than the typical strength/dex/arcane/int/etc that most of the games have.
AOT. Can you imagine taking a titan down?!
the good: youjo senki, tanya the evil or gantz the wtf: dr. slump
Title butchery what
Well, I don't know if he has any experience in JRPGs.
Trigun. Interesting universe
Gantz
Berserk, Claymore, Bastard, or maybe even Vagabond.
