Never forget, there was only one man able to stop the relentless rampage of the Black Swordsman, and that was Godo. Godo is the man who defeated the Black Swordsman with nothing but wisdom.

Don't live your life chasing after hatred. Because in the end it'll only cause you even more pain. I remember that's what I interpret what Godo meant when he was laying in his bed speaking to Guts.

I love how even though Godo's final lesson to Guts is "Don't turn out like me," he still got a chance at having a family/loved ones in the years before he died. The best time to start is yesterday, but life is also not a race and as long as you live its never too late to find happiness

Cracks in the Blade is such a beautifully written chapter

“Hate Is A Place Where A Man Who Can't Stand Sadness Goes" -Godo

Godo the blacksmith tempered the Swordsman's black flame with words alone, a true warrior in every sense Rip.

I wouldn't say warrior, I would say True Smith, be it a sword, a flame, or a soul

He made his flames from destruction to creation

I often think about Godo and his conversations with Guts, definitely one of my favorite characters in the manga. Despite his limited appearance in the story, the parts with him are incredibly impactful.

Godo is a legend up there w Schnoz

Thank you! Cracks in the blade, followed by feeble flame, are two of my all time favorite chapters of berserk. When I hit rock bottom, I thought of those two chapters often as I’ve struggled onward. Going there showed me my cracks, and my damage. In my misery, A small voice in my head kept telling me there was still some good steel that could be salvaged. I could be remade. So I cast myself in the fire and I’m trying to forge someone better everyday. I realized (and I hope and pray) I still have time. Some of the people I love are still in my life (some, faintly) after coming to grips with that, I drew my line in the sand. I would fight for someone, something. Not lose myself in my misery and my hatred again.

"But it ain't just this dark flame that's burning me.... The campfire from those days still burns in my heart."

Damn Ryan, stirrin my soul with them words. A1 character analysis. Godo the GOAT. Everyone should have a few grumpy old men impart their life's wisdom into them before they die.

To this day Cracks In The Blade is my favorite chapter of any manga i have read on my life

Despite the objectively short page-time, Godo is one of the most influential characters in all of Berserk, the father figure that Guts needed. Cracks in the Blade remain to this day my favourite chapter.

Godot was, has been, and forever will be my favourite Berserk character.

This video makes 7 minutes feel like 2 minutes, good job.

Godo also pointed out something very important. When Guts wondered around for 2 years to hunt apostles he was just wasting his time. The answer to destroy Griffith and the godhand wasn't easy to come by just by doing random stuff. He shouldn't have complained about Casca being gone when he refused to be near her. Despite her mental state.

i love some somber moments in berserk like the beach episode when Guts realizes that he has companions again, or, the one uhh was it Vol 32 when he and Zodd part ways and Guts takes off in the boat seeing Griffith in the distance , also lets not forget Spring Flowers of Distant Days, Bonfire of Dreams ehhh too many to mention... the whole damn series are the best thing i discovered

there was also a similar dynamic between puck and vargas early on pushing him to keep struggling to live and survive instead of having his struggle be focused on the past and vengence... varags himself is a parrallel of the black swordsman guts in his hatred an obssession..a powerless version guts not even able to fight for himself and go berserk like guts and who has to suffer the humiliation of asking others to avenge him ... his situation was so hopless even the biggest struggler guts told him that a rat should live like a rat .. at least for guts when everything failed him he always has his sword which is the metaphor for his stength and fighting prowess and pride ...its funny that most readers who see themselves in guts are in reality closer to vargas than anything else .. you can see miuras messages from the early chapters

Totally agree with u there. I feel like a lot of the new berk readers don't read between the lines. The story has a fuck ton of profound messages if you choose to see them.

Words are weapons

Really well done look into the character. At the time of reading I knew he was important but didn't realize how much so

R.I.P his message is immortal and we are forever thankful.

Nice one, the struggler doesnt need to meet only the struggle.

Ryan you are a man of great words thank you for this video I miss godo

Hate is a place , where a man who can't stand sadness goes

Godo is the GOAT. He reminds me of a father who wants something better for his child.

Godo the GOATo

Hell yeah, another banger Ryan!

Beautiful stuff

Thank you for another good video I appreciate you Ryan :)

Beautiful analysis.

good freaking video ryan

Godo is the most interesting character.

4:30 also, I didn't notice this at first but the window in this panel looks like the eye of the beast of darkness.

Thank you for the video, man. I love Berserk, the values it imparts on its fans, and the content creators who are able to write/create video essays from them.

Great video again Ryan, you do such a great job on these videos expressing your feelings for the characters, I just couldn’t express myself like this. But the 13th deluxe edition will be released in the next few months so I’ll start another reread & time it correctly so I get to vol 39 right as it’s released. This will be my 4th reread, I could just reread Berserk for all eternity.

Godo is underrated

Feelin' a bit like Godo right now. Thanks for the video - especially the last few words

Well done sir

Strong powerful words to live by

Well said sir.

Amazing ! The berserk 1997 ending had me catching feels!

any video about godo is already goated

Fantastic video on peak fiction my friend.

The sparks, bro

He only show up twice, but the importance that holds... Love how its never clear what Godo did in the past that was so so terrible, and I prefer that way. Leaving a mystery a mystery. Something to us to ponder and think about it. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, KENTARO MIURA! THE ETERNAL STRUGGLER! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

4:58-5:02 You forgot: Godo also had Guts and Rickert.

Just realized the holy see seal is embedded into Godo's gravestone.

You have a nice soothing voice man, no homo

Pain.

GOAT'd character

Godo is a 🐐

goddo is one of the many reasons that conviction arc will always be my favorite arc alongside farmland arc.

Dark Souls soundtracks are really fitting for Berzerk tbh.

True.

Beutiful sumari of a (atleast screenwise) minor character and a testament to Miuras writing.

If Godo and Guts relationship was like father and son, does that make Erina Guts' little sister That's cute tbh, having the strongest brother in existence

you need to read the invincible comic its peak, i promise

Godo is extremely similar to Miura himself, even the way that they passed is pretty much the same.

Aaaand, we will never see the true ending.

I'd love to see a video like this on bubbles of futility

I have thought about the Morda subject. Being dishonest is keeping the truth only by yourself while leaving the rest without it giving them a lie. Being dishonest is evil. More over honesty reflects reality much more than dishonesty. Even if honest people can be wrong and therefore not adjust to reality they adjust more to reality than dishonest people. At least honest wrong people adjust themselves to the reality inside their thoughts and imagination. Dishonest people don't even do that. Having in mind that reality always wins fiction (the truth always ends up being discovered) it is clear that we must be honest and don't lie. So I give you a month to go alone. If you don't want or you can't or you already have someone or you want to focus on other things or whatever I will send her the comment anyways in a month counting from now. Then, if you want, go for her after four months (January). I think it's much better than going you all alone (women are designed by million years of evolution and millions and millions of evil men who always hurted them to instinctively reject any man approaching them. now things are changing and so they are but still...). If you don't want to do nothing no harm done. After the three damn months she will get better, happier and empowered. We live in a strange world ineed nowadays. Transgender, now I have seen a video about transracial, something tells me the future will be transanimal and transcybernetic. Holy @@@ even aliens are schnozing around. Provided none of them take away the freedom of no one they are free to do what they want in my book. They are not evil. They are good. So it would not be so strange this wacky plan of mine would work. If not, good riddance. Plenty fishes in the sea. Not to mention that being alone also has its advantages. Your Godo video was, as always, very emotional. My hat off. At least we know what you lack therefore what you crave, what you need. I wrote an outstanding comment about why we all shoud turn out like Godo. Honest, hard working, never taking the freedom of no one while living on his own, good for both the collective society with his smith work (body) but also good for individuals like himself (having the goal to perfect his skills to the max) like that little girl (thanks to the careness and compassion of his soul) or even Guts (thanks to the wisdom of his mind). Not to mention he will be eternally blessed in both the fifth dimension of our collective consciousness and the fictional consciousness of the fictional characters of the manga because his soul is infused in that tombstone and of course in Guts MFBS !!!!. Sadly the light went off (Summer, everybody with the air conditioner on, not enough energy, power off) and I am unable to rewrite the comment. Well, at least i think its core, its soul has been saved within this one.

What if Godo is really just RealLifeRyan in the future???

Godo's importance in Berserk: The existence of the Dragonslayer

Every good story protagonist need an old man to give him advices

pta que eres lindo wn, sin conocerte en persona, te quiero mucho, abrazos y cariño desde Chile

The only man with balls large enough to stop Guts mid-rampage and go 'Oi, listen here you little shit.'

Godo is more GOATed than the Goat Wannabe Apostle.

Godo the GOAT

The father Guts never had

Godo is the skulptor

RIP GODO CREATOR OF THE DRAGONSLAYER AND BASICALLY A NEW FATHER FIGURE FOR GUTS CONSIDERING GAMBINO WAS A PIECE OF CRAP

first

richert is gonna be the one to fix guts in the next chapters
