"Griffith Did Nothing Wrong."

Rest In Peace, Kentaro Miura. An absolute legend whose storytelling transcends and will continue to transcend forever. It’s impossible to put into words how much he touched my life with Berserk and that is also true with countless others around the world. Thank you❤️

Griffith: "Only someone who forges their own path can truly be my friend" Guts: Leaves to forge his own path Griffith: "Wait that's illegal"

Imagine a character so charismatic that they give an entire fandom Stockholm Syndrome

Ironic how Griffith saves Casca from an act that he then commits against her.

Bro literally sacrificed the band of the hawk for a fucking castle.

Do I agree that Griffith is a beautiful and complex character? Yes. Do I desperately want to see him torn apart by the Dragonslayer? Also yes.

Griffith be like: "I can't believe you had the Guts to leave me"

The worst part about Griffith betraying Guts to me that the main reason Guts left in the first place was because of his sincere will to be Griffith's friend. In hope to achive that, he bailed on the glory he had in order to find his own dream and be able to be beside Griffith as a true friend. That wouldn't have been possible if Guts didn't trust Griffith as a leader and was so sure he will be able to continue through his dream after he leaves. Bearing in mind it was the best time to leave as the band had gained enough status to go on with their plans smoothly with no complications. The band didn't really need him anymore. But Griffith ruined it all and blamed it on Guts due to his sick and self-rightouse mind. Guts only mistake was expecting too much from Griffith, and trusting him, only to be betrayed just like how Gambino did to him.

People defending Griffith usually build an argument on one of two bad foundations. 1. “He does bad stuff for the greater good.” By his own admission Griffith does everything in order to rule his own kingdom. He’s only good to people as long as it benefits his goal, as evidenced by the eclipse. If he thought he could sacrifice Falconia to rule an even bigger empire he would do it in a heartbeat. And even if he ruled the world and there was no greater empire to sacrifice his people for there’s still no guarantee he wouldn’t find something else he wanted more. He isn’t sacrificing for the greater good, he’s sacrificing for his own gain. It just happens to benefit the people…for now. And it doesn’t entirely benefit them, which brings me to my next point. 2. “He’s bad but his kingdom is the only safe haven.” This is built on a broken window fallacy where causing problems creates opportunities to fix them. All the demons roaming around were his doing. He’s a solution to a problem he created. Yes, there were human wars before him but they were arguably better than demon wars. Greater good my ass. He’s causing greater harm to look good in comparison.

Literally all Griffith had to do to achieve his dream was keep it in his pants regarding the princess, wait a couple years for the king to die (or assassinate him) and swoop in for the easy marriage

My stand on Griffith is: While it is explainable why he did what he did, it's still inexcusable.

I NEEED Casca to have her darkness come out bc she done been through it all, she been through too much, she's finally hit rock bottom and I want her to start ripping heads off

The argument that he did nothing wrong is defeated by the simple fact that Griffith didn’t create Falconia for the sake of humanity. He did it for himself. Not to mention, he literally created the problems he’s protecting his people from. They just don’t know it.

"Griffith is still human. He is just the part of humanity that we try to pretend doesn't exist" This is probably the best quote in this video.

"Griffith is still human. He’s just the part of humanity that we try to pretend doesn’t exist." Instant chills at that line, holy fuck.

As a wise man once said : Inhales "GRIIIIIIFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH !!!!!!"

What if the reason Griffith is still human is because Casca and Guts are still alive and the Sacrifice is to some extent still not complete?

Griffith sacrificing the band of the hawk had a bigger, logical motive behind it. Raping Casca was out of pure spite towards Guts for almost making his unattainable.

That white haired chick looks hot

The Godhand brings up a good point, every member of the Band Of The Hawk pledged their lives to Griffith in order to see him become a king. Whats greater than a king? A god. So its understandable that Griffith would see this as an acceptable sacrifice that the Band signed up for in a way Raping Casca though, was purely to hurt Guts, and is irredeemable.
