completely braindead take, in the world of berserk if you walk around with the brand of sacrifice on you it means you survived literal hell in earth, how the fuck is that not a symbol of perseverance and determination?

Way to strawman the argument. No one’s saying that’s what the brand itself means. It’s someone with the brand. Guts or anyone living in Berserk with a brand of sacrifice SHOULD BE DEAD. But they’re not. They persevered.

This take is a surface level understanding of symbolism

that's exactly what it means. the band of sacrifice is evil yes. but to be branded is to be like guts. to fight against fate. no matter how bad things get, not giving up. fighting when it seems futile.

the only people you see walking around with the brand in the manga are guts and casca, people who survived hell. Why can't I wear it like a symbol of perseverance?

respectfully, this take is too shallow to drown an ant.
The brand is in itself an evil thing, yes, but that symbol being worn by someone still walking, talking, licking and kicking, is a sign of determination and perseverance, as happened to guts.
Without the mark he would've been a fantastic merc with a tragic backstory and a slab for a sword.
With the mark, he's all that plus the addition of surviving the Eclipse through pure physical endurance and determination, which is why people do not see the mark itself as a symbol, but the act of carrying it.

Are we ignoring things having different meaning or symbolism beyond surface and literal?

We gotta stop acting like people don’t know what it means. They know and they want the tattoo, it is what it is lol

I don't think you're right on this one bud, like yeah it is a symbol of pain, misery, sacrifice and selfishness, in the lore of berserk.
It is also the main logo for Berserk, which has a huge focus on perseverance and determination as part of it's story and theming, 2 things can be true at the same time

MajNani :
y'all know that berserk isn't real life right ? like the brand isn't a real symbol and has no real meaning besides what a manga written by a human depicts. and how we as other humans perceive it.

Ryan :
this is a dumb analogy. I'm not religious myself but people get the cross tattooed all the time because of its symbolic meaning. they don't get it because it means that they are going to be put on a cross and nailed to it.

GloomGroom :
so did you just magically forget the speech skull knights gives to guts literally right after the eclipse? He speaks of struggling on and to keep on struggling even when faced with certain death. The individual with the brand represents never giving up no matter the circumstances. There def are larpers of berserk but this argument specifically falls flat

I got it because I like Berserk. So there. Oh it also covers a serious wound that had the potential of ending my life. I fought through. I won. The real Berserk larp here is you telling me I got it for the wrong reason.

The brand of sacrifice has symbolised that to half the fandom for years. This isn’t a new thing, the fact that people are only bringing it up now just shows they’re newgens

Logan 🐻 :
You can apply personal meanings and themes to things like this. As a story, it’s really about how you perceived it when you read it. I do agree with both definitions.
