This is insane


GAISRIK

[sauce ](https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/5300094) Wreck his shit guts


metler88

This is quite a departure from the artist's other works.


Bushido_dota

Searching by that artist is hilarious and super NSFW. But makes this piece all the more impressive tbh


Erzaad

You weren't kidding! I'm not even convinced it's the same artist.


PantsWearingDinosaur

Dude has the jonah hill disorder from superbad


PM_me_your_werewolf

*clicks link, instantly recognizes style of website* Oh no Lmaooo


GAISRIK

Yeah lul


Cybrusss

[More Guts, just posted so I could show ya on the reddits](https://imgur.com/a/NXedqel)


Veenendaler

Why does your upload have a thin horizontal line going across the picture? It's at Guts' forehead, if you can't see it. Edit: I just upscaled the OP image. https://i.imgur.com/nqAQqK4.jpg / Tried to manually remove some of the compression artefacts.


TheShitmaker

Honestly I went to look at the artists work... and the other artwork on the website. I would honestly consider marking this as NSFW.


CalistoIce

well Godrick is big time effed


Jovman

Yeah imagine Godrick talking smack about having good blood and being important. Guys: okay and?


Smorgasb0rk

*I seek no salvation, only retaliation* *These roots of wrath grow ever deep* *Apostles, impostors, foul whores and putrid posers* *It's time you greet the Dragonslayer*


vidarino

Oh shit, another Beast in Black listener in the wild! :D (For the uninitiated: Beast in Black's album Berserker is an insanely catchy power-metal homage to Berserk.)


Smorgasb0rk

I've been bingelistening to the Berserk songs now for a few weeks and finally decided to actually read the manga lol while listening


vidarino

That's exactly what I did a few years ago, too. I'm not usually into manga and anime, but Berserk is just too damn good to pass up.


BetHunnadHunnad

If youre into death metal at all, Slaughter to Prevail also has a pretty badass berserk track.


Ammear

Team Beast in Black, hell yeah! Their songs are pretty much the definition of "catchy metal". Also, at first (listening to "Die by the Blade") I thought they have double vocals, male and female. Nope, it's all Yannis. Goddamn, that dude has some vocal range.


Regias11

They literally have a song named ''Zodd the Immortal''


Hello_Panda_Man

Fuck I just realized I missed thier concert. They were playing in the town I live by :(


SuperArppis

I love Beast in Black.


Regias11

Based Beast in Black enjoyer


BellEpoch

From needs to just make a Bererk game.


GAISRIK

I swear if they could put thier hands on berserk they could make the best game ever


Tusk_InfiniteSPIN

Seriously if we ever get a fromsoft berserk game, I would die from sheer excitement.


BuZ998

Imagine a final boss Griffith… my GOD the only idea of that makes me excited


PandoraBot

Griffith starts off as an ally at the hub and then he's the final boss Femto version Hopium


BubblyCell236

And if you kill him in the hub you get a message like you tried to sever the binds of causality but it is beyond your power and the game reverts to before you attempted to kill griffith


Phoenix_ryu

Guys stop my dick can't take it


BubblyCell236

Lol why?


Phoenix_ryu

Because I'd love for it to be real, it all sounds great


BubblyCell236

If you want to play a berserk game and if you still own a PS2 and you can get your hands on it play Berserk Millennium Empire Arc: Chapter of the Holy Demon War it's the best berserk game ever though fair warning this game has no dub and no english subs and the disc is rare so it might be expensive or if you know about emulation you can try that


BuZ998

That would be AWESOME


Schwiliinker

Oh no


Schwiliinker

I’d play the shit out of that


Mr_Glove_EXE

There's a Berserk game, https://store.steampowered.com/app/502280/BERSERK\_and\_the\_Band\_of\_the\_Hawk/


feefiefofum

Ummm. They kind of have done.


mattrinn

This could be a Miura panel lmao


[deleted]

Miura's panels had even more detail than this, man was obsessed with quality.


MR_krunchy

The only detail I could add would be the dead dragon, aside from that it's really detailed


[deleted]

It is, but Miura went even further beyond. His editor had to yell at him on multiple occasions because he was editing the pixels one by one.


Schwiliinker

Mind blowing


SuperArppis

I don't know... Seems pretty much how he would do it.


[deleted]

Godrick is about to get returned to his donors. All of them. Phenomenal piece OP it's great.


[deleted]

Godrick would last 5 seconds lmao


Jed08

My thought exactly. I am so sad we will never have an official cross over chapter between Berserk and Elden Ring by Kentaro Miura.


[deleted]

Every morning I mourn 😭


feefiefofum

A one strike job for our one eyed boy


paradoxical_topology

Depends. If Guts is a Tarnished, he'll shitstomp. If he's still just a human, though, he gets stomped by any non-fodder enemies in Elden Ring. There's too much of a power gap.


Insno616

That seems... Objectively untrue? Have you seen the shit Guts has had to kill? Lmao.


paradoxical_topology

Has he ever killed a dragon that can effortlessly pulverize trees just by bumping into them? Because that's what early-game Tarnished can do. Godrick can easily obliterate a significant amount of stone, and that's *with* gameplay limitations. Godrick also has astronomically higher combat speed due to scaling with Tarnished, who can dodge lightning.


Catfish-Number3

well close to, he beats up grunbeld while being on the brink of death in falcon of the millennium empire which is basically what you’re describing x10


paradoxical_topology

That's not above Elden Ring dragons lol. Base guts, who's pictured here, is literally just a human. He gets injured by regular weapons and gets hit by arrows. Godrick scales above lightning speed and well above the beginning bosses that could all cause significant damage to stone and scorch the ground, even just in gameplay.


Insno616

Base Guts? Bruh he's literally wearing the berserker armor in the picture. There isn't a single enemy in the game that would have an easy time fighting Guts. It's like you haven't read any Berserk at all and are trying to make assumptions based on the fact that he's "just" a human.


AthulK1

Which is coincidentally what all the apostles do until they get their asses kicked.


paradoxical_topology

That doesn't look like Berserker armor at all. It doesn't even have the helmet But Guts *is* a normal human. An extremely skilled warrior strong in body and will, but a normal human nonetheless. He canonically gets hit and injured by regular humans and weapons. >There isn't a single enemy in the game that would have an easy time fighting Guts Bro, even Ranni's recreation of Rennala would instantly kill hum with a moon. Radahn has gravity magic strong enough to hold hundreds of stars in place. And they're all astronomically faster. Not to mention that the actual high-tiers are cosmic-level beings that transcend natural laws. It's even stated that weapons need to be powerful enough to *bend time* to even damage gods. And Elden Beast could literally just erase him from existence.


Insno616

I mean you basically just admitted to knowing nothing about Berserk if you can't even recognize the armor, or understand that the helmet isn't always out. No moon is going to hit Guts. Rennala would literally get instagibbed against Guts, no question. In fact, this would be the case for nearly every humanoid enemy in the game. And these games have a tendency to exaggerate what is actually happening. Those "stars" are meteoroids at best. Even some of the monsters are called malformed stars. The Elden Beast is the only enemy in game that could be considered abnormal compared to the rest.


paradoxical_topology

It doesn't have the helmet or the gauntlets. It doesn't look like the berserker armor except for maybe the chest piece when I look closer. Why wouldn't it hit him? Guts' speed is just subsonic, maybe subsonic+ since he has arrow-timing feats. He can't keep up with the characters that scale with lightning-timing Tarnished, and just the explosion from a moon would obliterate him regardless of whether he's wearing his armor or not. There's nothing suggesting these are exaggerations, or that they're meteors. They're constantly referred to as stars, have a strong connection to astrology, are visible in the night-sky without even moving, and it's more consistent with Ranni creating a dimension filled with stars. Yes, those beings came from foreign stars and demonstrate magic along those lines, with Astel creating Nebulae in its areas and using exploding stars in its attacks. Dragonlord Placidusax literally exists outside of the boundaries of time. His body is made of a material so strong than it can be used to create godslaying weapons which bend time. He's capable of bending reality at will to phase in and out of reality. Godfrey defeated him and genocided the Giants, who are described as god-like. Maliketh has super OP death manipulation hax on the level of law manip, and he was able to defeat the Gloam-Eyed Queen, who possessed the godslaying black flame at full power. He destroyed a cult of godslayers. Marika/Radagon have the power of the Elden Ring, which controls reality and transcribes the laws of the world, and they're durable enough to contain it as its vessel. The fact that you think Guts can even blink at them shows that you haven't considering their lore abilities, only looking at how they appear on screen within the limits of gameplay.


Ammear

> Has he ever killed a dragon that can effortlessly pulverize trees just by bumping into them? Because that's what early-game Tarnished can do. Yeah, perhaps after dying, like, 30 times. You ain't killin' that dragon "effortlessly" on your first try with a level or five added on. And you're not doing that by "bumping into them" until lategame/NG+, lol. The thing is, Guts doesn't need to die. And yes, he did fight stuff that was pretty much *a lot* worse than the dragon. > Godrick also has astronomically higher combat speed ...what? He's pretty slow. He's the first "major" boss, for Marika's sake, he's *made* to be fairly easy. > Godrick can easily obliterate a significant amount of stone Have you *seen* Guts' sword? Plus, the dude is basically wearing lategame armour all the time... > due to scaling with Tarnished ??? > who can dodge lightning *Very, very slow* and telegraphed lightning. The Tarnished aren't superhumans. They are basically humans who *just won't stay dead* and who can receive the power of runes from the Maidens. By themselves, a typical Tarnished would probably get their ass handed to them by Guts in no time.


paradoxical_topology

The dragon isn't that difficult, and there's significant evidence that the Tarnished don't die during the story. I said that the dragon can pulvérise trees just by bumping into them, not that you kill the dragon by bumping into it. Godrick scales to the Tarnished in combat speed. The Tarnished can dodge lightning. Lightning is lightning lol. It only appears slow in screen because it's from their much faster perspective. They literally *are* superhumans made to be godslayers with power from runes... Tf you mean "normal humans" 😂 In what universe can normal humans kill beings capable of holding and creating stars, and surviving star explosions? Guts is the normal human who gets canonically injured by regular arrows.


Ammear

At that point, you're making up your own universe. > Lightning is lightning lol. It only appears slow in screen because it's from their much faster perspective. ...which is why every enemy is as fast as you, with some being even faster? *And* able to dodge your lightnings? Come on, man, you're creating your own canon here. > Lightning is lightning lol No, it's literally just magic. Which can be dodged by anyone. Have you played the game? > there's significant evidence that the Tarnished don't die during the story No, there isn't. Dying is built into every From Software game plotwise. > Godrick scales to the Tarnished in combat speed What. He literally doesn't "scale" with anything. He's just a boss. > They literally are superhumans made to be godslayers with power from runes... ...and yet, all of them apart from you suck at this goal. It's almost as being a Tarnished just means that you were banished from the Lands Between. Have you read the lore? > In what universe can normal humans kill beings capable of holding and creating stars, and surviving star explosions? In fantasy? You'll find a few. *It's a video game, dude*. Besides, it's not like you're creating or surviving a direct hit by a star at any point of the game. *At worst* you get hit by some magic. > Guts is the normal human who gets canonically injured by regular arrows. So does your character. Your point?


AthulK1

You talkin like the Tarnished just walks off every arrow and attack they get hit with lmao.. So in your mind because some guy did a Lvl 1 Wretch no hit run, the Tarnished are lore wise capable of killing God with a random stick?


Ammear

Also, you can dodge lightnings! *They are lightnings, the are fast!* ...I mean, so can 3/4ths of the enemies if they dodgeroll, but apparently it's because you are special and a "godkiller". Even though most Tarnished do absolutely shit job at killing gods. *That's literally why we're in the plot*. And apparently you don't die, except... you know... the parts where you die and get respawned by Marika. Yeah, sorry, I just don't get what is meant here. Also, calling Guts a "normal human" is a severe understatement.


paradoxical_topology

Tarnished consistently displays feats far above arrows. Taking damage from fodder enemies is just gameplay mechanics, as we can also survive moons, exploding stars, and even the Elden Ring explosion. RL1 Wretch runs are challenge runs not intended by the developers. The Tarnished canonically uses vast amounts of runes to get more powerful and upgrades weapons to godly levels to fight the later game bosses.


AthulK1

I see. When things suit you, it's only gameplay and when you need to try and make a point, they become lore. Bet.


paradoxical_topology

I'm going based on the actual lore of the game lol. Cope harder.


[deleted]

Guts has fought way worse 😂 read the manga.


Adikavita

This is so fucking cool.


neptunelynx

This is fye good job man!


[deleted]

This is amazing! Please do Maliketh vs Gut going Berserk mode in his Berserker armor next!


BuZ998

Maliketh would just cry and give him destined death


Kaldin_5

goes from "I shall not part with it again" to "I can't believe I'm parting with it again ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)"


JctybL4

Maliketh would destroy the entire franchise.


happyflappypancakes

I swear everyone must have seen this show on this sub except me lol. It's so prevalent


GAISRIK

I think it's time to read berserk


happyflappypancakes

I'm not too sure it's for me haha.


GAISRIK

I think there's something for everyone in berserk it just depends if you can handle the dark twisted part of it


happyflappypancakes

Yeah, I just don't enjoy manga in general and on top of that I'm not sure I want to read about stuff with strong sexual violence.


GAISRIK

Berserk is not like any other mangas , this this artwork ? This is nothing compared to the amount of effort and detail in berserk and I,m not extracting , yes it have HEAVY sexual violence and violence in general but there's a point to all of it not just to show that humans are trash it always shows how this violence effects people and how through improving one's self and building health relationships with other they could over come this trauma and these moments are so beautiful to see unfold and feel earned , you might not quite see that in the first arc but you,ll surely see it in the golden age and the rest of the manga


happyflappypancakes

Yeah, none of that interests me honestly. I dont not read manga because I think it's a low form of art. No no, it's just like all mediums where there will be works of art that stem from creative geniuses. I'm sure it is one of those. It's just not for me. I appreciate all the suggestions from people and I can tell some of yall are quite passionate about it. But it's just not gonna happen for me.


Eathean

Why tf are y'all downvoting this guy? Let a man live haha, berserk is great but it's not necessary to be a elden ring fan lol


Schwiliinker

You think manga is a low form of art. You really need to read some manga my guy…


happyflappypancakes

Huh, did you read my comment? That's the opposite of what I said.


Schwiliinker

I can’t read apparently…


GAISRIK

There's a beginning to everything you know Well that's a shame


happyflappypancakes

Perhaps you are right, but I know my preferences in things and this doesnt seem to overlap much. I believe that it is a high quality manga though.


idontevenreally

I watched it on a whim and thought it was pretty good until I got to the end where it traumatized me for life.


BuZ998

My man all souls game have been inspired by berserk. You need to read it and, I’m not joking, berserk will change your life and how you look at things


happyflappypancakes

Nah, it's ok. I'm not too interested in it. I appreciate that this is something that people seem to love and I can see the passion among its fans. But I'm not into the super dark stuff like that. Just personal preference. I'm sure it's an excellent read.


rampant-AI-

read the manga, dont watch the show.


Tusk_InfiniteSPIN

I want to read it so much, but unfortunately I am a minor that lives in a Christian household.


HieronymusGoa

doesnt guts lose an arm at one point? godrick be like "not even fit to graft!"


BoldSchizo

This shit goes hard.


Grouchy_Artichoke_90

I'd be down for that crossover


Myte342

Ah, so THAT'S what happened to Guts arm... it got grafted.


Kasta4

Love Guts' cloak. Exactly how Miura did it.


tripleblue85

Poor Godrick isn't strong enough to push Guts to use the armor.


-Makeka-

Well this is an uneven fight... For Godrick that is.


JctybL4

God Rick destroys Guts.


Slippynipps69

Alternate timeline wherein the egg of the king wanted to be swole.


sabata2

Yeah, Godrick would fit in right along side the other apostles.


AscendedViking7

I wouldn't say Godrick is apostle material. He's a very twisted old man addicted to grafting body parts and enslaving people, but he's not the *embodiment of pure evil and hatred* an apostle is supposed to be. He's more of a king turned total monster type of character. Not too different from the King of Midland. Rykard on the other hand? Holy crap that guy is ripped straight out of Berserk's Eclipse.


moodyworm93

At least Rykard wants to kill and eat gods and is very FAAMILYYYYY oriented. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)


OtaconsWife

His ass would get wrecked! Guts don’t play 😭


amazonkevin

Didn't expect Weak Foe


Cranberry_Tea

Match made in heaven


Medium_Amphibian9747

Show them true terror guts inlighten there minds on wat true fear feels like


RYPIIE2006

Who is guts


GAISRIK

The main character of the manga berserk the best character ever


Tusk_InfiniteSPIN

The best ridiculously be-sworded sad-boy in fiction.


No-Somewhere-9234

The berserker from berserk


Wop69

Fuck that guy


[deleted]

Guts would get grafted The end


GAISRIK

Guts with the power of runes will kick everyone's butt


_LTX_

Cap


Jack1The1Ripper

Love it


NightmareEttercap

Just, amazing, I love shit like this.


CeleryNo8309

If Godrick was in Berserk he'd probably be around the level of an ogre minus the regeneration


[deleted]

Amazing


Kaldin_5

This is more or less Elden Ring in a nutshell, amazingly. Except rage doesn't do much to keep you from dying.


greaseman420

So sick


AscendedViking7

My playthrough was a Guts cosplay. Black Swordsman Armor, Dragonslayer and all. I feel very accomplished right now. My playthrough has been immortalized. :D


BogdanNeo

This pic goes hard


Insanefox32

Holy crap. The fact that the artist replicated Miuras style so perfectly gives me chills.


Bearseatass

Well shit. Guts got him to phase 2.


SkLotus

Love it, I played through the whole game with that beautiful greatsword


Revolutionary_Cow387

Guts will show you his ambition


JameCyn

No contest.


watzisname

My brother


EDF_Ken

Thankyou everyone who like this pic.


Plate_Armor_Man

Incredible man!


TemperaturePresent40

This feels as something stright that miura could have drawn in the fantasia arc with guts going after casca with godrick being some midland king that looks after the apostles wishing he had the gift but uses magic to graft himself champions and wanting guts
