Well, strugglers, if you get bored of being over-lore’d - then this chapter might just bore you to death! We, on the other hand, love gettin’ DEEP into the inner workings of The God Hand, the Invocation of Doom, how the Brand of Sacrifice works, what color are Void’s, Ubik’s and Conrads eyes under their various slits, stitches and goggles?! It’s an all supernatural extravaganza, with a special appearance by Hell itself in these final chapters of “The Guardians of Desire” sub-arc. Plus, we perfectly set the stage for The Golden Age Arc beginning next episode! Griffith here we COME.

Intro violin theme by Ryan, and mixed by Steve. The theme was inspired by long-time Berserk composer, Susumu Hirasawa’s, ‘Sign 2.’

The Guardians of Desire - Parts 5 & 6

In this surprisingly beefy episode, we cover three chapters that are short on pages but overflowing with meaty meat goo inside for you to sip on for almost three hours. Griffith’s war demons begin to make their pilgrimage to him, including first appearances of the fire-breathing Grunbeld and the mysterious Rakshas. The real meat of tonight’s meat goo treat is the origin stories of Serpico (more like Slurp-ico. YUM.) and Farnesse’s (I wish she was Close-nesse. YUM.) origin story: a tale of parental abandonment and trauma, chaotic eroticism, possible incest, and animal torture. Enjoy!

War Cry of the Wind Part 2, Snow and Flame: First Act, Snow and Flame: Final Act (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER)

Three Berserk fans (a writer-swordsman, a collectibles guru, and a musician-animephile) come together to break down Kentaro Miura's magnum opus, chapter, by chilling chapter. Ryan, Steve, and Joey discuss, critique, and expound on the themes, artwork, throughlines, and subtext found in this decades-long story of trauma, rage, ambition, and destiny. The story of Berserk - and this Berserk podcast - is not for the faint of heart - rated a hard R for sure!
