defeating 100 men

There’s this scene in Berserk where Guts, after defeating 100 men in a single night, stands on a quiet hill and basically admits none of it meant anything to him.

He says he fought not for glory, not to protect someone, not for love or honor, but because running away just isn’t in his nature. Because the sword is all he knows.

Everyone else around him has a reason. Gaston wants to open a tailoring shop. Corkus wants money. Griffith wants a kingdom. Guts looks at all of them and sees little flames flickering in the dark, and at the center of it all is Griffith, a bonfire. The kind of person everyone else throws their own fire into, just to keep something greater burning.

But Guts doesn’t see his light in any of it. He says he’s just someone who stopped by to warm himself. That he’s not fighting for a dream he’s fighting because he doesn’t know how to do anything else. Because he doesn’t want to die, and swinging a sword is the only way he’s learned how to live. And that hits.

Because sometimes, even when you’re disciplined and doing the right things, there’s this hollow space underneath. Like you’re surviving, even thriving, but still not exactly living. You’re outlasting storms without knowing what you’re headed toward. You’re swinging the sword, but you haven’t picked what you’re fighting for.

That’s why Guts is relevant. Because he’s not just a character. He’s a mirror.

And if that resonated with you, I just dropped a YouTube video about finding your purpose. It’s raw and real and might help you name whatever flame you’ve been carrying around.

Would mean the world if you watched.

What am I talking about

“What Berserk is about:

Berserk is a dark fantasy epic about fate, survival, and vengeance. It follows Guts, a lone mercenary with a tragic past, as he battles demons both literal and internal through a brutal world. It’s a story about what happens when loyalty is shattered, dreams are corrupted, and humanity fights against destiny.

Who Guts is:

Guts is a haunted warrior raised in violence, driven by survival. He’s not a hero by design he’s someone who fights because it’s all he knows. Beneath his brute strength is a deeply introspective man questioning meaning, loyalty, and whether there’s something more to live for than just the next battle.

What his sword represents:

Guts’ massive 8 food sword is more than a weapon it’s his identity, his shield, and his curse. It represents the life he was forced into, the violence he’s endured, and the armor he built to survive it. He doesn’t wield it to conquer, but to exist. Without it, he feels like nothing.”
