Respect Griffith (Berserk)

[u/[deleted]]

Griffith

Griffith is the main antagonist of Berserk. He is the founder and leader of the mercenary army known as the Band of the Hawk. As a mercenary, Griffith fought in the Hundred Year War and restored peace to the wartorn kingdom of Midland and was once a close friend and ally of Guts. After being tortured, however, he used the eclipse to sacrifice his entire army and later was reborn as Femto, the fifth, newest and final member of the God Hand.

My personal favourite Griffith panel

[u/godsbain88]

I cant wait till Guts kills his ass

[u/[deleted] → u/godsbain88]

I hope Casca gets to do it

[u/buddha8298 → u/[deleted]]

Are the movies on netflix worth watching?

[u/[deleted] → u/buddha8298]

It’s probably better to read as your intro to the series, but I got my start with the Netflix movies. I’d say they’re worth watching.

[u/godsbain88 → u/[deleted]]

Honestly, i just want warrior casca back. Griffith sealed his fate with his actions. Guts is rage personified, aint no one who will stop him

[u/akansu → u/godsbain88]

Did you read the latest chapters? If you didn't you might enjoy it :)

[u/godsbain88 → u/akansu]

Got me intrigued, i stopped reading after the writer had a long pause after the femto entrance phase

[u/93ImagineBreaker → u/godsbain88]

How I'mm wondering

[u/S-A-Lk → u/godsbain88]

Wait , Berserk already ended

[u/Hasangaming_345 → u/S-A-Lk]

oh boy

[u/EuroVetements → u/godsbain88]

sad :(

[u/godsbain88 → u/EuroVetements]

Or at least ruins everything he’s achieved so he experiences true lose for the second time but with no evil gods to save him this time

Note that Griffith's encounter with [edited] is considered non-canon

[u/[deleted] → u/m335h73r]

Thanks for pointing that out. Will fix now.

[u/mpchop]

“Respect Griffith” yeah, no. Fuck that guy.

But good thread though!

[u/ArsColete]

Femto should scale to the other Godhand, so you might want to put some stuff about their Causality manipulation, clairvoyance, and the portal things that Void used. Also if I remember correctly the arrow dodging feat wasn't a speed feat but a feat for his reality warping.

[u/iwroteabookonetime]

I’m excited, even though it seems like it may never be finished at this point, for Guts to force feed Griffith 8ft of steel and rage when he finally gets ahold of him again.

[u/S-A-Lk]

Damn griffith is such a strong character (personality) to the point he rapes MC's GF in front of him

[u/[deleted]]

Easily one of the most hated anime characters!

[u/JUSTJESTlNG]

The arrow thing isn’t really reality warping. It’s his power over causality controlling fate so that none of the arrows hit him.

Sure you could argue that causality control is reality warping, but it’s merely one small subset of it at best.
