Okay okay, but seriously, I just saw the first two episodes of that shitty anime, so does guts get a massive power up early in the manga, or is that anime very different from the manga?

I saw /v/ discussions where guts was put on the level of luffy, star platinum, and even saitama, but he literally got tired out from fighting some primped knights, and then stabbed himself in the neck on some chick's outstretched sword. I can't believe this shit

What happens when Griffith sacrifices everyone?
>>
>>344728310
He is already super strong. He sustained a serious injury because he let his emotions get the best of him when the possessed little girl was trying to stab him. He also has to fight for his life every night because he's cursed and night spirits haunt him constantly. He was at like 25% power when he took on those knights and he passed out while he was trying to kill the bitch.

This new anime doesn't start at the beginning, it starts after the first major arc. Earlier in the story, Guts kills literally 100 soldiers by himself.

STR wins 9 times out of 10. As someone said DEX would work if the guy never made any mistakes, but that's not how actual fights go. The bigger stronger dude is likely to win by sheer strength and endurance.

In the manga he gets captured by the fagknights immediately after fighting a demon apostle that flew around at Mach 2, barely lived through the fight, got covered in rotting baby guts, and lit a forest fire
They didn't show this part in the anime so instead he somehow got injured while fighting the 10 skeletons that he absolutely destroyed

But yes he does get a pretty strong powerup later on
Just read the fucking manga

guts is more quality than strength with how fast and precise he swings his big sword

I just fucking hate how they didn't at least start after Rosine was defeated and he said his goodbye to that little girl. The anime's intro would have been perfect if they covered at least Guts walking through the forest dismissing the first appearance of his inner demon while being absolutely covered in blood.

Guts was pretty much about to die before Puck showed up which would have been a good introduction to that character too. And it would have made episode 2's fight actually make sense.

His sword is fucking huge and he swings it with inhuman strength. Griffith's shitty little "Catch and cut through" technique that seems to be the only thing he knows how to do can't stand up to that kind of sudden impact.

I love being STR in Souls games at least. There's something amazingly satisfying about two-handing a giant fucking sword but keeping my character light enough to fast roll around, so that battles in PvE are a shitload of dodging until a window of opportunity appears for an R2 from hell.

I don't like chipping away at something's health in little increments.

Doesn't it get broken when he's attacking that one fortress? There was no way Griffith could win without killing or maiming Guts, anyway, which would defeat the point of him fighting Guts in the first place.

>That's also nearly invincible since STR adds more hp usually

I love this aspect of it. It irritates me in games when STR doesn't up your durability. The stronger you get, the more protective muscle you're building around your squishy parts, and the harder that muscle fiber becomes. You can also strengthen your tendons (much fucking slower and more carefully), which makes them more difficult to tear, and even your cartilage (through tearing it; cartilage is tougher after it heals, but I think it's more brittle).

Dex is more of a "fine touch" spec. I've never thought of it as being speed. It's literally dexterity, how good you are with your hands. In that sense, Guts is a complete Quality build, possessing amazing STR and the DEX of a master swordsman. Not only can he use the Dragonslayer, but he can wield it with the fine touch of a reasonably sized, normal weapon. If Guts didn't have amazing DEX, he wouldn't have the coordination to block super-fast tentacle whipping and shit like he does.

No, it's worth reading because it's fucking great. Forget about fucking Souls, goddamn. I approached it as a long time fan of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, and it doesn't disappoint. Definitely sword and sorcery fiction in the same vein as Conan. The whole manga is the same kinds of scenes that Frank Frazetta loved to paint for Conan, with a lot of 80's horror design thrown in for good measure.

I didn't expect the reference to Army of Darkness when Guts got his cannon arm.
>>
>>344736663
>arguably nonessential
I don't think anyone would argue that cutting some exposition like Griffith and Guts frolicking naked, the bonfire of dreams, the talk before Guts' sudden departure from the Hawks, and Wyald made the movies better off. Not to mention Guts' backstory.

It makes sense how they cut it since they were only paid for 3 movies but the trilogy would have been infinitely better as a series of 4.

Guts was going to die, dude. He got saved by Skull Knight. Did you not watch/read the whole thing? Guts fought off, what, 50 demons? Out of about literally 1 million+? Considering the rate of his dismemberment (an eye, an arm, probably much more mentally) his body would have eroded away after a couple hours.

I kind of, sort of, just maybe sympathized with Griffith at the moment of the Eclipse. Not when he was asshurt that Guts beat him and left, not when he went full retard and dicked down the princess. But after his year of torture, everything they did to him, having his tendons clipped, tongue removed, probably never going to be able to even lift a fucking spoon to your mouth again, and having to remember it all...I sort of got why he'd go through with sacrificing the whole Band of the Hawk if for no other reason than to get his body back. Although, really, and I say this with no edge intended, he should have just killed himself rather than fucking over the hawks.

Yeah but he isn't the only one. Every major fighter in this manga has inhuman endurance, agility and strength. And realism isn't important in this story anyway.

Guts would probably have a ton of debilitating injuries by now (severed tendons, broken bones etc) but it doesn't matter because it's Berserk.
