@crackerss28: Griffith (Japanese: グリフィス, Hepburn: Gurifisu) is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the manga series Berserk created by Kentaro Miura. Extraordinarily handsome, charismatic, and skilled, Griffith is the leader of the mercenary group the Band of the Hawk. After meeting Guts, Griffith defeats him in battle and forces him to join the Band of the Hawk as the latter proclaims he now "owns" him. The dynamic and turbulent relationship between Guts and Griffith forms the primary focus of the manga. During the Eclipse, to achieve his dream of obtaining a kingdom, he sacrifices the Band of the Hawk to become the new member of the God Hand and is rechristened as "the wings of darkness" Femto (Japanese: フェムト, Hepburn: Femuto). #griffith #berserk #griffithberserk #guts #mediatok

Hen :

Griffith is not an übermensch he is a Faust figure

⃟ :

and he’s still evil lmao

antares :

Wouldn’t universal ethical egoism fit more of griffith’s character as opposed to utilitarianism? His obsession with attaining his kingdom is a desire that surfaced from a child’s selfish ambitions no? Femto is already said to be the hawk of darkness that will bring calamity unto the world. Even so he continues to strive for his goal to achieve his childhood dream, which falls under ethical egoism. You could say it’s utilitarianism if the end would benefit ALL included, but his drive is for his own personal gain, not anyone else’s. In more recent chapters he’s even opposed the rest of the godhand in order to achieve his goal. If he himself will bring chaos to the world by achieving his dream, then it would.

I loved this. I also believe that Griffith represents our true nature in a way. People hate him for choosing to become a god over being in the state he already is in, which is stupid. In such a critical moment ofc someone would choose the option to survive bcs in a way its part of our instincts and it is part of our human nature to be egotistical.

Do we know how and why he had the egg from start? I watched berserk 2 years ago i dont remember

ZAMBLA :

W analysis but Griffith is just one arc wonder character

𝖆𝖌𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖆𝖘 :

he's a good written character but not a good character

alisha ⟢ :

great explanation, it’s nice to see berserk fans who dig deep into each characters especially griffith

𒉭dariush 𒉭 :

Did Griffith intentionally cause Mayhem after killing Gar nitz ka? (Its a long time since ive finished berserk sry for misspelling) because once he has killed him, the whole fantasy monsters came to life and forced people to join his kingdom where its safe, also with destroying the island of the elfs he destroys any safe place that exists, for only his kingdom to be the last resort to survive. Why cause Terror and fear just so they join his kingdom for a peaceful home? Where does his utilitarism make sense when perfect and peaceful places exist, just for him to ruin everything in his way?

debuonaparte :

agree with most besides the utilitarianism part, griffith doesn’t do what he does because he thinks it’s ultimately “justified” or “better” in the end, as he said his dream is pursued for its own sake and no other

Turtle :

i hate that someone in the comments doesn't understand this post and just commented on bad words to this post.

ｗｈ :

W analysis, one of the greatest oat

Capone "gang" Bege :

great analysis. the only thing i disagree with is the utilitarianism part: i don't clearly remember if his dream of being king is stricly related to bringing peace. I think that he would also sacrifice the entire world peace in order to get a kingdom and be a sort of evil king like the oriental imperator of the Barkilaka family.

Givara | جيفارا :

i am also fascinated by griffith's determination of having an own kingdom, he was very aware of absolutly everything that was going on around him, whether knowing how the world of berserk works, or knowing what role he plays in that world and how it affects other people, but i disagree, that griffith's mindset is utilitaristic, yes, he wanted to change the country he would rule so that the civilians can live better, but everything he has done and is doing is all for the sake of his greed, he wanted the whole world to acknowledge him, by melting the physical and the astral world, griffith made the physical world a lot more dangerous to live in, leading to the fact that people HAVE to go to falconia (griffith’s kingdom in the manga) to live peacefully because there was no other place that was safer, he knew that people died and will die if they dont go to falconia but that doesnt bother him because for him being a king is not for the sake of others, but only for himself. His dream has always been about fulfilling his own desire to stand above everyone else, even if achieving it requires immense sacrifice and suffering. The eclipse: the eclipse occurred because griffith was at his lowest point, but whose fault is it that he was in that state? guts? he blames guts for it but guts ist most definitely not guilty for the torture, if griffith would've thought a little bit more rational about it, instead of clinging onto the narcissistic belief that he has to absolutly own everything he locks his eyes on, he would never have done anything impulsive, and the people that saved him had to pay with their lives against their will, just for griffith to play king in his pathetic dollhouse, falconia.
