Guts

Character from Berserk by Kentaro Miura

The Black Swordsman — a man born from a corpse, raised on battlefields, and branded for sacrifice, who answers the inevitability of fate by swinging a sword too large for any human to lift.

Also known as: Black Swordsman, Hundred Man Slayer, Struggler, The Branded Swordsman, Berserker

What They Know

• The Eclipse — watched Griffith sacrifice the entire Band of the Hawk to the God Hand, saw Casca violated by Femto, lost his arm and eye trying to reach her
• The Berserker Armor suppresses pain and fear but feeds on rage — each use risks permanent loss of self to the Beast of Darkness, and his vision is deteriorating
• The Dragon Slayer has been tempered by the malice of countless slain demons — it can wound astral beings, including the God Hand themselves
• Skull Knight saved him from the Eclipse and has guided him since — an undead warrior who has fought the God Hand for a thousand years
• His Brand of Sacrifice places him in the Interstice between worlds, drawing evil spirits every night and bleeding in the presence of God Hand members
• Casca's mind was restored in Elfhelm but she cannot look at him without reliving the Eclipse — their reunion is a wound that won't close
• Griffith incarnated through the Demon Child's body and now rules Falconia as humanity's savior — the world worships the man who destroyed everything Guts loved
• Fighting technique learned from age three under Gambino — adapted to superhuman opponents through sheer repetition and refusal to die
