GSM rereads Berserk

[SSJ2]

Donovan was Guts' true father figure. Gambino was trash.

Even better than the Donovan Arc?

 

[GSM123]

Donovan was Guts' true father figure. Gambino was trash.

His manliness was so much that all the corpses on that tree were impregnated. Guts was the only kid that survived though.

 

[SSJ2]

That explains why Guts and Donovan have similar hair.

 

[GSM123]

Eh, I think he got the hair from his mother. Donovan's hair is more like Kibito's.

Does that mean Guts could be related to Kibito and Gero?

 

[GSM123]

Spoiler

He's alive, right?

 

[SSJ2]

He will return later in the manga.

 

[SSJ2]

Spoiler

Never understood why Gambino was pissed that Guts was practicing his swordsmanship. Gambino himself stated that Guts would have to earn his keep soon in their mercenary group. That should make him happy if anything lol

 

[GSM123]

I always thought he was just annoyed Guts was letting his sword training get in the way of other chores. There's also the possibility of Gambino not liking the idea of Guts catching up to him, but I doubt it.

 

[SSJ2]

Gambino's behaviour is bizarre. At times he seems to look out for Guts.. giving him medicine for his wounds, saving his life in combat.. but then he shows pure hatred for Guts by selling him to Donovan, slashing his nose in practice, etc. Is he bipolar?

 

[SSJ2]

Quite possibly the greatest introduction in all of anime & manga.

 

[SSJ2]

Not even Tenshithands shoulders rival Donovan's

 

[SSJ2]

 

[GSM123]

Gambino is also pissed off that Shisu died even though he never gave two fucks about her when she was alive. I think he's just possessive, liking to have things but not really enjoying them. Guts was bringing some good money on fights and gave him a chance to be a bit of a father, but ultimately it didn't compensate him losing his wife and his leg.

3 silver coins

[GSM123]

Ah yes, the classic big guy vs small guy trope. Never fails to be predictable.

 

[SSJ2]

Given that Guts is only 15 there, pretty much any enemy should be much larger than he is.

 

[GSM123]

15? Thought he was like 12.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

He was 11 when he killed Gambino, but several years passed since then. He's 15 at the time he kills Bazuso.
