Samuel Lewis
batman wears his underwear on the outside and at worst has to deal with some ugly thugs with knives or laughing gas
Brody Baker
Even going for real life examples, Batman look like a pussy. Many kids lose their parents by war or drone attacks but they don't turn into emo ninjas.
Alexander Butler
But they probably would if they were rich.
Oliver King
No, they just turn into religiously fanatic suicide bombers.
John King
Not really. They would either get drunk or just move on. At best they could finance ISIS
Isaiah Allen
He also had the option to kill the joe chill but did not but that whould kinda destroy the canon because what better whould batman be if he killed joe chill
Colton Cooper
Bleach sounds stupid and needlessly edgy
Eli Johnson
Those are second generation muslims born on Europe, most of them grow with both parents
Adam Edwards
Wow thanks for making Berserk sound terrible.
Benjamin Jackson
>Bleach Yeah, (You) better go drink bleach, senpai.
Michael Martinez
Not in Mudslime countries, you dumb faggot. Do you not think they blow themselves up all over the Middle East, or are you just paid to be stupid?
Hunter Anderson
Batman is just not a edgelord like Guts. When bad things happen to him, he feels them and is defined by them. That's what people do in the real world too. You don't just have horrible things happen to you and not reflect on them.
Also >>Still is an optimist who doesn't let the world break him You must have missed the whole Black swordsman arc. He was huge asshole that wouldn't let an faggot ass elf touch him and didn't want help from anyone/ or cared about the fate of the world and only cared about penetrating Griffith with his overcompensating sword.
Just assuming no one give a shit about terrorism on the middle east. This has turned into a Sup Forums thread and the Sup Forumstards believe the muslims are an unified army rather than a fucking mess
Ryan Harris
confirmed for not understanding a fucking thing about Sup Forums kys
Oliver Jackson
Yes but Guts matured and isnt edgy anymore
Jeremiah Brown
thats cause berserk is a continuous story written by one guy i dont know why you expect character development from capeshit
Michael Wright
Its pretty unfair to compare anyone elses struggles to Guts, he's had probably the hardest life of any fictional character who was not explicitly made to suffer.
skull knight even calls him struggler.
Ayden Wright
Guts is better written than 98% of capes
Juan Cruz
I honestly can't go back to feeling bad for Bruce after I recently got into Berserk. I also love more people getting into BERSERK lately.
Nicholas Ortiz
Same If it gets more popular maybe we will get to see the end of the series before we die of old age
>decades old superhero character originally written for 8-year-olds and constantly reimagined to fit into the strict guidelines of his origin makes less sense than a modern character written for a different audience with a single writer
Noah Jones
HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!!!
Aiden Thompson
WAAH I'M BLIND
Kayden Robinson
"Robbed of a mother's Love at birth Left to drown in Blood He was to Die beneath her Corpse Meant to rot in a cesspit of Despair Born to Die as a waste of air
Ralsed as a Child, One shorn of fate In a fit of Rage He knows a Violent Destiny Will await, Only Life by Sword shall reign And he Never to death be slain
Shame the anime has to suck so much compared to the manga
Charles Wright
Watch him go full edge again after Casca regains her memory and either runs off to be with her rapist and baby mutator Griffith or sacrifice Gut's whole party and the elves to become an Apostle herself to kill Griffith.
Dylan Lee
>Many kids lose their parents by war or drone attacks but they don't turn into emo ninjas >implying that's a good thing
The world needs more emo ninjas who want to make the world a better place you absolute faggot, instead they just do gay shit like turn into normies or become suicide bombers.
Luis Morales
Which is pretty horrible.
Parker Barnes
Stevie Wonder seems ok
Joshua Morris
This. I got a fucking branded tattoo, and I cringed at this.
Gavin Edwards
Anime is gay so Batman is automatically better
Robert Harris
>Guts >optimist
You what?
Also Guts in many ways WAS broken. Did you not read the Black Swordsman arc? It was him lashing out childishly and violently against everyone and everything. He was also borderline suicidal for a large part of his life, which is why he went from battlefield to battlefield consciously pushing himself to the brink of death.
Dylan Mitchell

Jacob Long
> implying these two would not become bros
Ayden Hill
reminds me too much of that episode of Major Crimes.
the killer of that episode logics that if the going gets though/it fails, the rich white kid doing the outreach program in the hood can always just go back home.
Camden Adams
>logics
Cooper Rodriguez
>Casca >Becoming an Apostle >Not going full RIP AND TEAR towards GRIFFITH like Guts was during the Black Swordsman Arc
user no
user why
Levi Bell
... actually yes, they do.
Jace Garcia
He's really chipper these days compared to the really early chapters. Making friends really went a ways to unfucking him.
Andrew Powell
in a way the killer has a point.
the kid merely preaches a message of hope, no tangible solutions. so if the kid fails or gives up, all the ones listening to his message would be the ones holding up the bag when he leaves.
basically bruce can quit anytime he wants because he has something to fall back on/have an alternative life ready and waiting. guts doesn't.
Jordan Hall
Guts has the benefit of a clear artistic vision in mind for him while Batman is less a character and more a concept.
Jeremiah Rodriguez
Guts going full RIP AND TEAR is going to get him killed against Griffith. He has to go half RIP AND TEAR to win.
Jonathan Cruz
Guts' story reads like a Korean soap opera. It becomes comical and meaningless after a certain point.
Lincoln Sanders
REMINDER that Griffith has done nothing wrong. The Band of the Hawk swore that they would give up their lives for him, and when he went to collect his debt after giving them fame, fortune, and comfort, they suddenly turned their backs on him. Also Guts is mad because Griffith gave her such a good fucking she literally became retarded.
Liking Guts is being a teenage edgelord, liking Griffith is being a sophisticated adult.
Isaac Miller
Neither of these are happening. The latter just ain't Casca's nature, the former is people not realizing that her reaction to Griffith after the reincarnation is because he's using Casca's baby as his vessel, not because she still loves Griffith.
Anthony Bailey
Shut up, Griffith
Owen Morris
What?? I'm not Griffith! There's no way I would know how to use a computer, of all things!
Asher Price
>Casca's mind was ok all along >She just didn't wanna admit she liked it so she pretended to be retarded
Justin Thompson
I had a friend who tried this once. She was on the far-left of the bell curve when it came to intelligence. Her boyfriend accused her of cheating, and she denied it for a month until he finally presented evidence to her that she had, in fact, been cheating. Her response was, "Oh, baby, I'm sorry, it's just he's got a really big dick, and I would pass out and forget so I wasn't really lying, honest!"
Jordan Torres
As someone who's never watched or read Berserk, you make Guts sound like a massive faggot, OP.
Thanks for steering me away from this dogshit.
Caleb Stewart
Guts is a massive faggot. He's taken it up the ass, and he was too much of a beta to fuck Casca even though she was lusting for his dick, and then got mad when alpha-chad Griffith gave her a dicking... to die for.
Xavier Richardson
I hope that's all bullshit because otherwise that guy must have had a break with reality himself.
Samuel Powell
She didn't want to go back to living on Section 8 housing and EBT, and she thought he'd be stupid enough to believe her. Fortunately he kicked her ass to the curb. I hear he's a hyper-racist now, though.
Christopher Morris
Guts had a worst life but is in a much different world
Leo Flores
Wow Guts sounds so edgy and mature like myself.
John Price

Superman: >wife and unborn child killed, city nuked >kills joker in retaliation >"hurrr u shouldnt have done that, we have justice and shiet, u were my icon y u do thattttt literally hitler:
Tyler Scott
Berserk is shit before the Golden Age arc and after Guts leaves the Band Of The Hawk. And if not shit, at least much worse.
this is an objective fact
Jayden Ortiz
>Watch him go full edge again
Berserk's slow transition to more lightheartedness has come from Miura getting older and not being interested anymore in the misery and bleakness of his former tone. He's even stated Berserk should have a happy ending.
Caleb Martin
Jesus, i OP a trolling faggot or is Berserk really such an edgefest?
Hunter Morris
Yeah, I'm sure you didn't learn everything about the world and the future while you were revived into your Femto form.
INB4 >Casca regains her memories. >But some shit goes wrong (Behelit activates or some shit) >Casca almost becomes an Apostle >She avoid it thanks to some magic shit but Elf King reveals that she's now tied to the World Tree and Griffith. >Its implied that If they go she goes. >She still insists on fighting Griffith. >After many chapters of war and bloodshed Guts and Co beat Griffith, Godhand, the new band of the hawk and destroy the tree. (Somehow) >Last Chapter is the long due wedding between Guts and Casca >Farnese, her Fiance and her Father fund the entire thing. It's fucking grand. >Guts and Casca are both annoyed and embarrassed about the whole thing. >Every ally still alive go to the event >Characters like, Jill, those religiously tolerant villagers, the magic guys and the like. >As they walk down the isle Casca falls. >"Guts without Griffith we never would have.." *Poof* >Guts is left holding an empty wedding dress while everyone looks on in shock and horror. >MFW
Sorry..still a bit bitter over a certain lackluster ending.
Joseph Gray
He was nine or so at the time user. Are you going to tell us how it was ebebophilia and prfectly awwright, user?
Ayden Adams
You know Miura said he couldn't end Berserk with such a grimdark ending, right?
Both he and Jack deserve peace, if Casca dies then at least she was better than Ashi.
Kayden Collins
Man, I'm not Griffith! I mean, Griffith is just so perfect and I'm not so there's that. And I hear Griffith has an eight pack. Do you? I don't.
Hunter Diaz
I fucking hate berserk's art style. Maybe it's cause I was very very very ill when I watched it, but it just looks WRONG and UNSETTLING and DIONYSIC, decadent/degenerate, to me.
Whereas Vinland Saga or Hellsing look like VITALITY and HEALTH and APOLLONIC to me.
Brody Nelson
Wanting to make the world a better place and making the world a better place are two different things. And Batman's only succeeded at one of them. (Hint: it's not the useful one)
Owen Flores
If I wanted to get into Berserk, should I watch the old anime or the new one?
Don't have time to read manga
Landon Howard
watch the old anime, but really you should read the manga (they're actually off the boat now and the plot is going somewhere). Avoid the 2016 anime as it is fucking horrible
Justin Jones
>Don't have time to read manga Then just ignore the series. The old anime was financed by a lemonade stand and barely covers 1/5 of the series The movie series is just the same as the old anime and story wise, and was basically made with the manga readers in mind The new anime is a fucking travesty and everyone involve should be castrated
Evan Jenkins
you got issues
Samuel Kelly
What're you, gay?
Angel Jenkins
>Don't have time to read manga Yeah right.
Liam Morales
Thanks. I guess I'll try to fit Berserk into my tight comic reading and masturbation schedule.
Noah Wood
Can't you just spend less time masturbating and use that time to read Berserk?
Hell, if you masturbate less the next time you masturbate it will feel better. In my experience atleast.
Carter Garcia
The whole point of the Black Swordsman arc is that Guts' edgelord persona was just him retreating to being an asshole because of his past and his fear of getting hurt. Remember at the end of the arc where he breaks down like a bitch and bawls?
I dunno why this has to be a fight. Guts becomes an empowered Batman with a huge sword once he gains the Berserker armour and Shierke is there to remove any tension that the armor might give by reversing the armor's effect of making him a mindless creature fueled by pure hate.
Jeremiah Rivera
I'd give him my immense privilege tbqphwyf
Noah Lewis
It's been twenty years since he left the Band. More like twenty five. No need to spoiler that.
>Not liking Conviction
Nip comics are a special kind of edge when it comes to it.
Elijah Turner

Jace Kelly

If I don't masturbate at least 10 times a day, a bomb wired to my urethra will explode
So NO
Oliver Watson
Why couldn't you save him? When will he smile again?

Charles Perez

Nathaniel James
I used to be a Batfag until I realized how whiny he really is
Now I am a Green Lantern main
Owen Brown
Except Batman also is optimistic about the world, he just tends to be a cynical jaded asshole when dealing with other people but he still believes in truth justice hope and all that shit, one could even make the argument that Superman inspires that hope in Batman, you also forget that Bruce trained since he was very young with various masters including Ra's Al Ghul who would have twisted his head further and that Gotham is a horrible shithole filled to the brim with corruption and crime with Batman just being an ordinary man with ambition and money to fulfill that amibition.
Ryder Wood
>Ripped out of his dead mother's womb, never knew his father her mother was a hanged corpse, he literally ploped out of her >Raised by a whore in poverty who was later killed she died of the plague >forced onto the field of battle where he saw countless friends die he never had any >Forced to wear a cursed suit of armor that is slowly killing him he chose to wear it >Still is an optimist who doesn't let the world break him there's a difference between optimism and stoicism start reading it again from the start you fucking mongoloid
Hudson Gray
dont you have some leafy videos to watch you underage fag
