Berserk Unveils Its Official Strongest Human In New Release

Berserk is the magnum opus of Kentaro Miura. The author worked on the series tirelessly, which helped him create a genuine masterpiece that inspired generations. Ever since its inception, other up-and-coming manga artists have found Berserk to be their muse. Aside from the stellar story and immersive world, Berserk also has some of the coolest powers within the Seinen category.

Most of the time, these abilities belong to supernatural beings like apostles, the God Hand, and fairies. But in some cases, human beings are also able to gain powers that change their lives forever. Given the fact that readers have seen some fairly impressive human beings in Berserk, it’s always interesting to try and learn who amongst them stands at the top.

Guts Is The Strongest Human In Berserk

Anyone familiar with the world of Berserk would definitely call Guts the strongest human in the series. Initially, there were some doubts around this claim, but the recent developments in the Berserk manga have more or less confirmed that Guts is 100% the strongest human being in Berserk. In the last few chapters, Guts was forced to stay inside a temple. Once he entered, the exit was sealed, and everything inside became pitch black. So Guts had no other option but to lie down in isolation and finally confront the darkness that was deep inside him.

After going through so many tragedies, it is a miracle that Guts was able to maintain his sanity and not go down a twisted dark path. Once he began to reflect, Guts remembered all the deaths, the rage, and the fear that he had both brought and endured, but these weren’t the only emotions that the hero was feeling. No, he also felt sorrow and pain, and he blamed himself for all of it. He thought if he had never met them, perhaps the people who lost their lives would still be alive. As he kept thinking, a luminescent entity confronted him, and it showed him that Guts was born amongst the dead. So he was initially within the astral world, but then his birth made him part of the physical world.

Due to this reason, half of the gods belong to the astral world. Once he realized his true nature, his guts woke up, and he was finally able to see in the pitch-black room. Then he got up and pushed away the rock that was blocking the exit, and he did so with just a single hand. For contrast, it took two huge men to lift the boulders and to block the exit. As soon as he stepped outside, it became clear that he was no longer the same person. Guts appeared a lot bulkier and stronger.

Guts was due a power-up for a long time. Whenever he had to fight powerful apostles, he would put his own body on the line. He would often turn to the power of the Berserker armor, and while it did give him the means to take down enemies, Guts had to pay a steep price for it. Whenever he called upon the Berserker armor, he risked losing his sanity. He knew the beast of darkness was waiting just around the corner to consume his mind and turn him into a dark and empty husk. If Guts had kept on using the Berserker armor, he would have ultimately paid a very steep price. Fortunately, with the new power-up, Guts no longer has to rely on the Berserker armor. Instead, he can simply use his newfound strength to overcome any challenges.

Berserk Is Slowly Heading Towards Its Conclusion

Now that Guts has the strength to deal with the apostles and the God Hand in a much more manageable way, it won’t be long before he starts hunting them again and saves Casca and the rest of the world from the God Hand and the idea of evil. So far, only the Kushans and Guts’ closest friends know about his transformation, but his enemies will learn of it soon enough when they face wrath on the battlefield.

Following the latest developments, it is safe to say that the story of Berserk is rapidly moving towards its conclusion, which is something that nobody expected, especially after the unfortunate passing of Kentaro Miura. Thankfully, Koji Mori and the staff at Studio Gaga joined hands to finish the masterpiece and give Guts’ journey a fitting conclusion. The latest bizarre chapters also gave fans an insight into Griffith’s current situation. In fact, in the most recent chapter, Griffith was ridiculed by the members of the God Hand. They mocked him and his dream of creating a utopia. Before leaving, they told him that Falconia was a cold prison that he had created for himself.

Naturally, Griffith was not pleased with their words, but at the same time he didn’t correct them either, which makes it even more apparent that the ruler of Falconia craves something else. So it is completely possible that Griffith will sideline his project, Falconia, for the time being and focus more on his duties as Femto of the God Hand. Griffith was chosen for a reason, and it wasn’t just the creation of Falconia. The idea of evil wants something far greater from him, and it won’t rest until the results are on point. Another character to keep an eye on is Schierke, who is currently navigating the Astral Plane, trying to find Casca and learn more about the situation at hand. There is no denying that things are getting interesting, and if they keep up. Unfortunately, the manga has been on a break for the last four months, and presently there is no news of a return. However, fans can rest assured, as Koji Mori is working hard to finish the manuscript, and hopefully he and the rest of the team will have some news to share in the coming weeks.

Aside from the manga, fans are also hoping to get some kind of news regarding the anime. The 3D CGI adaptations were downright bad, and they didn’t do Berserk justice. Aside from a fan project, there has been no real news regarding Berserk getting an anime adaptation. Some rumors suggest that MAPPA might be secretly working on an adaptation, but it is merely conjecture at this point. A manga with the quality of Berserk truly deserves a premium-quality adaptation, and hopefully that’s what it will get. For the time being, Berserk fans should remain patient and watch or read other titles that are similar to it.
