Wait what?!? Seriously?!? Maybe it's just because i watched the anime first, but seeing Gattsu fall to that level really bugged me. In the golden age arc you watch him turn from a brawny badass with no place in the world to a brawny badass who's finally found a home. And then he gets fucked over and goes back to being a brawny badass but this time the whole world's against him and he's a bit more of an asshole.It feels a little that Berserk is becoming less... Berserk to be honest.
In the very first chapters, Gutts was so different! Totally deflective towards Puck and licking off the blood from his hands which came from his brand, absolutely thirsty for battle. He was even torturing a dying demon for no reason by puncturing it with arrows... slaying the dying count in front of his young daughter until his knife breaks... hell, what a dark guy he was! It was cooler than the current state definitly, Gutts is becoming more socialised... it's a little sad to see this happening. to be honest I hope his current group to die a terrible death so Gutts can return to his old style.
At least his change was plausible as he met those people reminding him of his old company... however, it's not as cool as it was
In any case I just noticed that it's definitly worth reading the first three volumes over again after having caught up with the current chapters, damn Gatts displayed an amount of badassness like it never again happens afterwards
"Just die then... It's so easy... Just cut your wrist with that knife then it will end. You'll be cut off from that horrible thing. Like you may be able to get to heaven... or rather go to hell so you can meet your mom and dad."
I don't know about you, but I hated that. I mean I loved watching Gattsu kill the demons but I hated that he was put in that position. Things are finally looking up for our hero and now you want everyone to die again?
Personally, I think Gattsu has shown an enormous amount of development in the latest arcs. He's not so set on revenge as he was before, so I don't want to watch him backtrack again.
