CascaCasca is a former unit commander of the Band of the Falcon and an estranged companion of Guts. Originally a callow peasant girl living in a remote mountain village, she develops into a well-attuned warrior upon joining the Band of the Falcon and aids greatly in the group's storied successes during the Hundred-Year War.
SoniaSonia is a girl with fairly long, blond hair. She has a rather large forehead and wide, bright blue eyes. Her apparel changes often depending on what role she is playing: when out of notice, she is usually dressed in casual shirts and pants.
Berserk was adapted into a 25-episode anime television series, produced by Nippon Television and VAP, animated by Oriental Light and Magic, and directed by Naohito Takahashi. The series begins with the Black Swordsman arc, continuing through the Golden Age arc.
She was depicted as a young girl, at earliest 15 in age and at latest about 20.
Besides, Guts is like 21 at that point. Its the result of the magic properties of the Berserker armor. Aside from the obvious, the armor alters him somehow and it manifests in a tuft of white hair. It hasn't changed from that (spreading, for example) since his first moment of being taken over by the beast.
The epicenter of this theme is, of course, Griffith, a man who came from little and strives for his very own kingdom. Griffith is strikingly beautiful and effeminate, with long, white hair and intensely blue eyes. He isn't traditionally masculine in any sense other than his overwhelming prowess on the battlefield.
The final volume of Berserk by creator Kentaro Miura receives its release date from Dark Horse Comics, bringing an end to an epic 30 year-run.
While the creators behind Game of Thrones, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, mutually decided to end the show after eight seasons, the 364th chapter of Berserk was forced to serve as a premature finale of sorts.
Berserk, the legendary dark fantasy manga from the late Kentaro Miura, will finally come to an end for U.S. readers. Volume 41, the final installment Miura finished before his untimely passing last summer, is set for a November release date.
Appearance. As an elf, Ivalera is small and has two pairs of wings on her back. She is about the same size as Puck, but instead of having a green aura, she has a more feminine-looking pink aura. Also unlike Puck, she is not naked; she appears to wear some sort of halter and a skirt.

Collette was shown to have midlength, blonde hair with bangs just above her eyebrows cut to cross evenly from eye to eye. She was depicted as a young girl, at earliest 15 in age and at latest about 20.
Collette was shown to be a calm-hearted girl, though she had a fascination with Guts as either a crush or some sort of infatuation. She was shown to have a caring personality, much like a mother or nurse, and was very kindhearted toward Puck.
In the midst of a rain storm Adolf offers Guts a lift, with the swordsman eventually agreeing after being offered twice. Inside the wagon, after Guts refuses the offer for homemade wine, Collette questions his prosthetic arm before she and her father introduce themselves to the swordsman.
In the 1997 anime, Adolf is rewritten as a grandfather, and Collette lives in Koka and replaces the role of Puck in the storyline due to the 25 episode time-constraint. In the events of the manga, Puck is being used as target practice for Igor, a member of the bandits, until Guts kills each member and saves Puck (inadvertently).
Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. The Berserk manga and anime series features a cast of characters designed by Kentaro Miura. The series takes place in a dark fantasy setting loosely based on medieval Europe .
Flora. Voiced by: Sumi Shimamoto (Japanese, Berserk: Millennium Falcon Hen Seima Senki no Shō, 2016 anime & Berserk and the Band of the Hawk) Flora (フローラ, Furōra) is Schierke's mistress, who taught her in the arts of magic and Od.
The series takes place in a dark fantasy setting loosely based on medieval Europe . Berserk centers on the life of Guts, a lone mercenary warrior, and Griffith, the leader of a mercenary band called the Band of the Hawk (鷹の団, Taka no Dan) who made a pact with demons and is reborn as one himself.
Rita (リタ, Rita) is a travelling performer skilled in throwing knives and juggling. Her accomplice, Job was infected with Mandragora and her performing days were cut short when Guts killed him. Reluctantly at first, she eventually helps Guts out throughout the Chapter. She appears on the Dreamcast game version of Berserk.
Grunbeld. Voiced by: Tesshō Genda ( Sword of the Berserk ), Kiyoyuki Yanada (2016 anime) Grunbeld, known in Japan as Gurunberd (グルンベルド, Gurunberudo), is a giant red-haired apostle of exceeding strength in dragon-like scale plate armor and armed with a warhammer and a shield containing a hidden cannon.
In truth, he was actually frightened of his unpredictable daughter, as revealed by his wife to Farnese. His neglectful behavior towards his family is likewise returned to him, with the exception of Farnese, who asked Guts to protect her family when Kushan beasts invaded a ball to massacre the attending nobility.
Without counting Charles, Rosine is perhaps the youngest apostle introduced in Berserk. She also appears in the 1997 anime along with the other apostles from the first 3 volumes of the manga, and in a small cameo in the third Golden Age movie, flying in her apostle form right into the camera at the end of the Eclipse.
But when Jill realizes Rosine's warped view of humanity as she has the other kids kill each other in a war game, Rosine attempts to cocoon her friend against her will.
In her preferred form, Rosine was a green-blue "elf" being of comparable height to her original, human self with insect-like eyes, two antennae and wings that grew from the sides of her head and enabled fast flight. When she introduced herself to Jill, she took a slightly different, more human appearance in which her face appeared like that of an insect and lacked antennae; this was most likely, however, merely a disguise, as she reverted to her base form when Guts ambushed and sliced off part of her wings.
Berserk (manga) Berserk. (manga) Berserk ( Japanese: ベルセルク, Hepburn: Beruseruku) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kentaro Miura. Set in a medieval Europe-inspired dark fantasy world, the story centers on the characters of Guts, a lone mercenary, and Griffith, the leader of a mercenary band called the "Band of the Hawk".
Berserk explores a wide range of themes and topics. Free will and destiny are discussed within the series. Human resilience is a recurring theme, with many characters coming from horrible backgrounds, constantly struggling against an unjust world. Guts struggles with destiny itself and is constantly resisting the pull of predetermination. Griffith also embodies this idea of resilience, by chasing his dream of ruling his own kingdom, despite his lowborn origins, as well the free will, by his own decision to sacrifice the Band of the Hawk in order to achieve his dream.
While briefly working as an assistant to George Morikawa at 18, Miura had already planned some ideas for Berserk ' s development, having a dark warrior with a gigantic sword illustrated in his portfolio who would be the first conception of Guts. Miura submitted manuscripts to a shōnen manga magazine for about four years before working for Hakusensha. However, he felt that he was not capable enough for it and they were also not interested in publishing science fiction or fantasy works. In 1988, while working with Buronson on a manga titled King of Wolves, Miura published a prototype of Berserk in Hakusensha's Gekkan ComiComi. This 48-page prototype placed 2nd at the 7th ComiComi ' s Manga-School prize. He later submitted his work to a magazine that, at the time, "was on the verge of going under", and he was switched around between several editors before meeting his first editor. The serialization of Berserk began in Hakusensha's Monthly Animal House in 1989. Miura commented that he landed the serial as soon as he made his debut, so he never had the opportunity to receive much criticism from editors.
Two video games based on Berserk have been developed by Yuke's. The first game, Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage (ベルセルク 千年帝国の鷹篇 喪失花の章, Beruseruku Sennen Teikoku No Taka Hen Wasurebana no Shō, "Berserk – Millennium Falcon Arc: Chapter of the Lost Flowers"), was released for the Dreamcast in Japan by ASCII Corporation in late 1999. It was localized in western regions early the following year by Eidos Interactive.
As of May 2021, the Berserk manga had over 50 million copies in circulation, including digital versions, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time. It received the Award for Excellence at the 6th installment of the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2002.

Written and illustrated by Kentaro Miura, Berserk debuted in Hakusensha 's Monthly Animal House [ ja] in August 1989 (October issue). Hakusensha published the first tankōbon volume of Berserk under its Jets Comics imprint on November 26, 1990. In 1992, Monthly Animal House was renamed Young Animal, and new chapters are still being irregularly released in the semimonthly magazine. In June 2016, Hakusensha's Jets Comics imprint was rebranded as Young Animal Comics and the first thirty-seven volumes of Berserk were re-published with new cover arts.

Raikou's own mother had died saving her, and having never experienced maternal love for herself she became fixated on her own ideal of what it meant to be a mother. However, her father insisted that she had to act as a man at all times and so she had no choice but to suppress her wishes for motherhood.
Raikou was to “ kill herself ” together with the Four Heavenly Kings in order to defeat this being . In this way, it became obvious what the reason was for Sakata no Kintoki to start protecting Ushi-Gozen in the middle of this battle.
The child of Minamoto no Mitsunaka, who was born as the heaven-sent child of Gozu Tennou, was left in the care of a temple as an unwanted child and was raised in secret because of his abnormal birth (being the child of an Oni).
Afterwards, they massacred larger settlements until high noon, only sparing smaller settlements because they vanished by then. Ordered by Douman, Raikou and Shuten take Onui and Tasuke hostage. Musashi attacks Shuten, but Raikou blocks it. The Swordmasters then overwhelm the group using only a fraction of their power.
For Raikou, Shuten-douji was a “ close stranger ” that mixed up her feelings just like that. As for Raikou herself, she did not assail Shuten-douji aggressively compared to the other criminals. Because up to a time, she ascertained that Shuten-douji was an acquaintance of Kintoki from his childhood days.
Consequently, the episodes of “ Sakata no Kintoki protecting Ushi-Gozen, who had fallen into a predicament of being driven into a corner ”, “ the life and death struggle between Minamoto no Raikou and the demonic Ushi-Gozen ”, etc., as depicted in “ The True Form of Ushi-Gozen ”, were somehow actually speaking of the events….
