No Guts, No Glory: the Berserk Podcast
  • 4.6 (45)
  • FICTION
  • UPDATED BIWEEKLY

Three Berserk fans (a writer-swordsman, a collectibles guru, and a musician-animephile) come together to break down Kentaro Miura's magnum opus, chapter, by chilling chapter. Ryan, Steve, and Joey discuss, critique, and expound on the themes, artwork, throughlines, and subtext found in this decades-long story of trauma, rage, ambition, and destiny. The story of Berserk - and this Berserk podcast - is not for the faint of heart - rated a hard R for sure!

    Sound of the Sea, Proclaimed Omens, The Boy in the Moonlight, Familiars, Supernatural Fog (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: FALCONIA CHAPTER)

    The boys are back in town! And the girls, and the pixies. And Skull Knight. And some Crocodiles. And some Dhalsim’s from Street Fighter. And a moonlight boy who is wearing no clothes. We’re back too!!! These chapters have everything: a new hope and goal for our intrepid crew, huge lore drops about the Berserker Armor and Skull Knight, and a new mystery that almost literally falls in Casca’s lap.

    Dread Emperor, The Daka, Demon Knights, Demon God, The Sleeping Princess (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER)

    This episode we trade Guts for Ganishka, focusing on a major battle between Griffith's demon knights (led by the ridiculously stupidly designed Locus in his apostle mode), which ultimately is a diversion for a certain demi-god to kidnap a certain princess. In the process however, we learn more about Ganishka and his own inhumanity and level of power. Like Guts' dong likely is...IT'S BIG.

    Fire Dragon, the Depths of Hellfire, Departure of Flame, Demon City (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER)

    All you need to know again (two weeks in a row - a first!) is Wolverine from Marvel vs. Capcom saying “BERSERKER (armor) BARRAGE! …BERSERKER (armor) BARRAGE!” over and over for this episode, as we close out the introduction to Guts’ fabled cursed armor. Schierke really defines her main role in the series with the help of Flora’s fiery force ghost, and we head back to oooooool’ Windham to see that it’s been taken over by Kushan…with almost every citizen murdered and hanged from the ramparts.

    Companions, Claw Marks, The Blaze parts 1 and 2, Berserker Armor parts 1 and 2 (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER)

    Guts gets the f**king Berserker Armor - and that's all you need to know.

    Taint, Retribution, Redemption, Vicinity of the Netherworld, Whore Princess of the Uterine Sea: (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER)

    Things get even darker, wetter, and more horrifying as our intrepid crew delve deeper into Qliphoth. Farnesse and Isidro gain some much needed confidence thanks to our old pal McGuts the Crime Struggler (80s kids will understand that obscure reference…maybe), and some very powerful beings emerge to both help and hinder our heroes: Slan, Skull Knight, and the essence of Darkness itself!

    Evil Horde 1 & 2, Raging Torrent, Shaman, Qliphoth (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER)

    These trolls be gettin’ WET thanks to the ultra-powerful witch Schierke! Guts is breaking trauma cycles and showing kindness and respect to this magical youngster, while Isidro looks on in shame, feeling that he’s worthless to his new crew. We get even more tug of war between the classically religious and the magical/spiritual aspects of reality here as well, ending in a highly unexpected change in our resident annoying priest character. Oh, and Isidro gets his iconic sword!

    Ambition and Reflection, Magic Sword, Mirror of Sin, Magic (FALCON OF THE MILLENIUM EMPIRE ARC: THE HOLY EVIL WAR CHAPTER)

    Oh the trolls they are a cummin'! Uuuuuh, COMIN', I meant, of course... Either way, we get even more fantastical, existential, and occult in these chapters, with the badass of badasses, Schierke, invoking the lords of the east, west, north and south to protect Guts and crew (as well as the villagers and that a-hole priest!) while they take out this horde of nasties...that is, until a giant peepee shaped Ogre enters the scene and puts a wrench in their gears. Enjoy!
