Chapter 384 / Ending Arc Predictions
Hi everyone,
I think I might have a prediction about what could happen next in Berserk.
I don’t think Guts is heading toward a simple new “power-up” through rage anymore. His strength has always come from his skill and, most of all, his hatred toward Femto, but the Berserker Armor is clearly showing its limit. It’s destroying him physically and mentally, and his emotional state is becoming more fractured rather than stronger. At this point, hatred feels less like fuel and more like a chain.
That’s why I think the story may be moving toward something more symbolic, similar to the idea of the Holy Grail in Arthurian myth. In those stories, knights like Galahad succeed not through rage or strength, but through spiritual purity, while others like Lancelot fail or struggle because of inner conflict.
Applied to Berserk, I think Guts may eventually be forced to meet “God” or “idea of good”, and in that moment he gives up his negative emotions especially hatred toward Femto. That wouldn’t just be a power boost, but a kind of spiritual ascension where he is no longer defined by revenge.
So instead of a final victory through violence, we might see Guts reach a higher state of being, breaking free from the cycle that has driven him since the Eclipse
although most of us are craving to see violent guts butchering Femto, we will most likely see an ascended version of Guts nonchalantly defeating Femto and the God Hand, and it’s very likely that he eventually dies, passes away in some way.
If my prediction ends up right or partially right, you guys owe me cookies :D
