Berserk’s New Release Unveils Major Guts Revelation

by

After nearly a year of waiting, a new chapter of the manga Berserk is finally available in Japan! Chapter 384 offers major insights into Guts’s struggle for survival and reveals surprising details about the Black Swordsman. Following the sad loss of creator Kentaro Miura, writer Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga are continuing the series, using Miura’s original notes. This new installment may change how you view Guts forever.

Please be aware that this discussion contains major spoilers for Berserk chapter 384. From the beginning, many long-time readers of Berserk have felt that Guts was destined for a tragic fate. This idea stems from his birth – he was born from his mother’s corpse, discovered by a mercenary named Gambino. This grim origin suggested Guts could never truly escape his destiny, and the latest chapter now confirms this to be true.

Wow, the latest chapter really blew my mind! So, this mysterious observer finally explains what’s been going on with Guts, and it turns out he’s way more connected to Griffith than we thought. Apparently, Guts isn’t fully in this world – he’s described as a ‘creature of the abyss,’ meaning part of him still exists on another plane. It’s like he hasn’t truly left the astral world since he was born! The being basically says Guts and Griffith are two sides of the same coin, both existing between worlds. It hasn’t given Guts a power-up yet, but I have a feeling understanding this connection is exactly what he needs to finally move past all his emotional baggage and get back in the fight!

The Future of Guts

The latest Berserk chapter revealed a major development regarding the Black Swordsman, but that wasn’t the only surprise. The team at Young Animal is releasing two more chapters immediately after chapter 384, though creating them proved challenging. Writer Kouji Mori shared that the content had been on the mind of the original creator, Kentaro Miura, for over two decades, making it a difficult task for those continuing his work.

The next chapter of Berserk will be published in Young Animal magazine tomorrow. I sincerely apologize for the long wait. This chapter was a project Kentaro Miura worked on and struggled with for twenty years, and even after hearing about it many times, I found it very difficult to complete. We finally finished it by carefully reviewing the dialogue with our editor, Shimada-san, who was a trusted mentor to both Miura and me.

I’ve been following Berserk, and it definitely feels like the story is heading towards its conclusion, but honestly, nobody knows when the final chapter will actually come out. With how long it’s been between releases lately, it could be years before we see it in Young Animal. What’s even more frustrating is that there’s still so much of the manga that hasn’t been turned into an anime, and there’s no word on whether an adaptation is even planned for the future.
