Thank you for such kind words!

Here is another theory, Corkus knew guts would fuck everything upp thats why he hated him. Guts realised this afterwards and went to avenge Corkus, going as far as using suduction just like that apostle did. Jokes aside i never noticed this about Judeau, man i love that character. Kinda sucks that such a good guy went to the vortex.

Throwing knives are insanely (scary and) good if you know how to use them. I'll be training to use them at some point of my life (even though I'll never have actual use for the skill).

@@pupper5580what would be the point of learning that lol. You’re better off perfecting your aim with a firearm

@@SCP--oz6ozThrowing knives are cooler and I don't have any American spirit.

​@WorldWideHyperspace America is due for a collapse. Look at what happened during Katrina and the George Floyd riots. You need to prepare yourself. I still have at least 5 grand in expenses left just in weaponry, plates+carriers, and NVG's I need to get

Yeah but I don't live in America so I'll just watch from the sidelines slurping my lemonade saying "I told you so."@@DixieSchizo

Couldn’t agree more, Judeau was an essential part of Berserk

@@shaned.nelson6172 hey Shane, you asked for some feedback...I just wanted to say that I've been following berserk most of my life, and it's story is one synonymous with my own...I spent many long nights thinking about the relationships between the band. You're videos are fantastic and perfectly voice my opinions on the manga and the show. As long as you keep this level of clarity and open-mind about the manga and show, I think your content is high calibur.

@@abyssoulzenith Thank you for these kind words, I can only say I’ll do my best! I love Berserk very much and enjoy talking about it, even if it is something small.

Ay don't forget my guy Pippin.

I've always said that Judeau would have been the best sidekick for Guts post-eclipse, he would have had his back at all times while being a moral compass too.

he obviously hated him during the eclipse

@@BriansMe hate is a strong word

@@BriansMe oh yeah everyone did

@@zeve3540 Are you saying he didn't?

@@BriansMe i don't have the time to hate it

They probably ended up in Falconia, dead or less likely found some refuge somewhere after the astral world connected with earth.

​@@alexsantos3100they at least had a good 4 years longer to live than the hawk members who stayed around to rescue griffith. I'd say that's better than nothing.

I mentioned this in a Berserk group. The ones who left during Griffith's imprisonment branched off and found their own way. Whether they ended up in the gutter or not, they weren't beholden to Griffith's ambitions. In that sense, they kind of achieved what Guts was trying to do. They really were the lucky ones all things considered......

@@wispycirrus9907 they also didn't end up in the Abyss/Vortex/hell

I agree wholeheartedly

This is valid

Yes

😥

Judeau consistently sold himself short. He wanted Guts to get with Casca. He was aware Griffith was a ticking time bomb but never made himself get away from the radius. With a little more self-confidence he could've kept himself safe.

​@@ConqueredSunBut.... Kept himself safe would mattered in a way?

Judeau deserved better, by far one of the best constructed characters

@@shaned.nelson6172 and to be honest for me he was the most relatable character as well when he spoke about that he can do many things but he is not the best at something that is how i and many people would relate to and the way he reminded Guts to take casca with him again and again even though he had feelings for her shows what a strong character he was he knew who was better for casca, he saw casca too had feelings for Guts and feeling was mutual he saw who was better for casca. Judeau did everything right !! And I never liked Griffith and after the eclipse I hate him with every being of my body people can say all they they want that he didn't do anything wrong I just can't comprehend their thinking about it.

@@navneethetaanful I related to him the most and he admits he likes casca but she’s distracted by Griffith. Felt so human.

Judeau was one of my favorite characters also, but no matter how great he was, he just couldn't survive the eclipse for narrative purposes. The reason no member but the main 3 and Rickert could survive was because the eclipse is, to some level, signify Guts going beyond humanity and going against fate and what seems possible. He ascends to a different level and is able to fight monsters. Before the eclipse, characters like Judeau could stand with Guts because even though they couldn't fight as well as him, they could fight WITH him. Post eclipse, for them to be able to be in the story they'd have to at least be able to survive against apostles. It would take a lot away from Gut's character imo, the only reason Rickert got to live is that he was a kid and besides firing a rocket has been essentially removed from all fighting. But that's ok because he was never really much of a fighter even in the BotH, Judeau however, was.

Same.

It was definitely hard for me to get back into it as well.. I had come to love the hawks and seeing half the main characters killed off was tough.

Well said

@@shaned.nelson6172 thanks man, great video 👍🏾

Thank you so much! Judeau was so knowledgeable of the Berserk world. I think he knew more than most of the band of the hawk. If he survived he would definitely be kicking it with Guts destroying apostles.

I think Judeau still being around with Guts after the Eclipse would legitimately make things too easy for him. And I’m not even talking about dealing with the Apostles, I’m more so talking about maintaining Guts’ mental health. Like if Judeau was traveling with Guts during the Black Swordsman and Lost Children’s Arcs then he probably would have easily noticed Guts’ slow descent into insanity, and stopped him before he ended up reaching the dark place that he was in by the end of the Lost Children’s Arc. Essentially what I’m saying is that Judeau kinda had to die in order to make the story happen.

@@KingCam20 Judeau himself might have lost some of his sanity as well though. The eclipse would have been less of a betrayal for him than Guts but he would have still been pissed at Griffith for what he did to Casca. He might have even blamed Guts for not getting out with Casca when he told him to.

@@John-kc4cg Maybe. Or the two of them could try to kick the shit out of each other in the madness. Guts: "If you knew so much... How the fuck did you not know anything about The Skull Knight!?" Judeau: "What the shit is a Skull Knight!?" *Guts and Judeau fight worse than Guts and Griffith did in the beginning...*

@@KingCam20 I love Judeau, but I think these set of circumstance would take away from a massively core aspect of Berserk. Right up until (SPOILER!) Casca get's her mind back (SPOILER END!) the biggest thing about the story is that NO one understands Gut's pain and what he's been through except the one who caused it, the only other person that could is mentally crippled, all others who were there are dead. That's huge to the story. I think something that would kind of help accomplish the feel of what you're looking for while not taking so much away from the narrative would be a scene where somehow Gut's meets the souls of the BotH and they acknowledge they've seen everything he's gone through since the eclipse.

Judeau: "Hey man. If I keep doing everything right, you guys are gonna flounder when I do something wrong."

"YOU'RE our leader now!" Judeau definitely knew.

Miura was so talented. His work has so much depth to it.

Thank you!

New characters being not as good just adds to the whole thing in my opinion. If they were equally likeable then I think that eclipse would lose it's impact a bit.

I mean farnese is a super good character the character writing for her was absolutely sublime going from someone who lashed out at other because she knew deep down she was useless to someone who started to forge her own path and understood she wasn't special and had to learn to be better definitely one of the best characters in the series

@@billwithesciencefi5466 she doesn’t really make sense. She is a saddist, and a fanatic that sort of personality flaw doesn’t go away. If you get your kicks from torturing and killing people, you can’t just turn that off one day and fanatics always find something to obsess over, whether that’s religion politics, sports teams etc. I would say Schieke is probably the best new character, her design is just stupid and she is too young.

@@jamief1263 You can overcome that kind of "personality flaw". Although it wouldn't be as easily and suddenly as Farnese does.

@@jamief1263, you know, Guts enjoys killing too as well as Judeau. That's the only thing they do for the living. I would not say that sadism is a flaw in comprison to all events and characters.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!

That’s definitely what I’m aiming for 👍

Thank you so much, I’m glad you love Berserk as much as I do.

Re-watch? Read the fucking manga

Seriously thank you.. I’m so glad you liked the video

Thank you! glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

Thank you! I seriously appreciate it

Thank you so much 😄

So glad to hear you enjoyed the content!

I think he cared to a certain extent but the flashback scene where Griffith tells casca how he felt when the kid died fighting for his dream and selling his body reveals the lack of remorse and morals he really has.

@@100conquest I mean for one side it does do that. But the main point is how much his dream meant to him to the point he oppresses his empathy and is struggling in if it is worth all those lives or not. Griffith is empathic and he doesn't like a bit that people has to die for his cause but his dream is just that big for him

​@@Replied_ByMeatr1der5 What griffith did and continues to do was 100/10 on the crazy scale. Thats some LITERAL jeffery dahmer shit he pulled. Even if you exclude the man coming down and raping her during the monsters pulling his friends apart. You can pull out your microscope and say he cares for them on some level, but he's so far from normal its hard to relate to......... When we say ''he didn't care about casca'' allegorical to a normal society standard.... Which griffith does not or no way would he have done mega mass murder to HIS FRIENDS (not even just nobodies like the famous genocidal maniacs that show up every century or 2)

@@MichaelPhillips-jw4bj Just because he's so far different from normal *nowadays* people doesn't change the fact his emotions are as human and as real as ourselves'. Not to justify him but to emphasize how he isn't so different from us

Found the griffith apologist

Thank you so much!

You just made my day, seriously thank you :)

Thank you! I seriously appreciate it

Thank you so much 🙏

Thank you!

His name is pronounced Ju-doh though Judeau is a French name "eau" in french is pronounced "oh"

U was wrong tho. So why u was mad 💀

It's pronounced that way in the anime. Which is why it's the accepted pronunciation.

So glad you enjoyed the video!!

Glad you like them!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! It really means a great deal to me

Appreciate it man! Lol I listen to Berserk videos in the gym all too often ahah

Thanks there will defiinitely be more Berserk to come in the future👍

So glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

Thank you so much!

Ahah thank you so much

Thanks man! I seriously appreciate it

The manga is full of amazing references that are so easy to miss upon a first read through. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for watching!

I think they all slowly started to realize that guts is the better man

Thank you so much ahah I do try

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!!

Many thanks!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!

Judeau was by far one of the most intricate and complex characters in Berserk. I miss him and everything he brought to Berserk.
