1'''Please note:''' Quote citations should follow the '''''official naming convention''''' for Berserk storytelling units. This means that each manga release before serialization in ''Young Animal Magazine'' is called a "Revenge" and given a number. Beginning from "Sword Wind", the first chapter that was published in ''Young Animal'', the numbering starts again at 1 and each release is called an "episode".
2
3The word "chapter" should not be used in place of "episode", because "chapter" specifically means an intermediate storytelling unit that makes up an Arc, which is the largest storytelling unit. When citing the manga, an example should state the volume number, followed by the episode number, followed by the title of the episode.
4
5If you are quoting an anime episode, please specify whether it is ''Anime/Berserk1997'' or ''Anime/Berserk2016''.

15->''"[[InAWorld In this world]], is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control, even over his own will. Man takes up the sword in order to shield the small wound in his heart sustained in a far-off time beyond remembrance. Man wields the sword so that he may die smiling in some far-off time beyond perception."''

A person hurts someone just because they're strong, and they hate someone just because they're weak. I know that well enough. That's why I think I'll go with this man who is burdened with the same weakness and sins as I. Because if I'm with him, I have a good feeling...[[TookALevelInKindness we can both become just a little kinder and stronger]].

Like a baby without speech, crying and shouting for all it's worth. Your father feared you for that. He hasn't the strength to accept things he doesn't comprehend. You were raised all alone, like some beast of the field, never experiencing a parent's warmth or the world of man. And so your heart is naked, not clad in any shell. When it comes to your feelings you are artistic, so much so that you can't abide this world. But you know, if you were able to find a place for yourself somewhere, then you, more familiar with pain than most, could probably come to be kinder than anyone else."''

Maybe it's different from the dream Griffith talks about, but for no one else's sake, without being swept up...this time it's by my own will.

In today's world, most people's lives are subject to the whims of a handful of nobility and royalty. Of course, even a king himself can't live exactly as he pleases. We are all at the mercy of a great tide--fate, or whatever you wish to call it--and we all disappear in the end, our lives spent, never even knowing who we were. In life, unrelated to one's social standing or class as determined by man, there are some people who, by nature, are keys that set the world in motion. They are the true elite, as dictated by the golden rule of the universe. That's what I want to know!! What is my place in the world? Who am I? What am I capable of? What am I destined for?"''

And even after being abandoned by a dream, it continues to smolder from the bottom of one's heart, probably until the verge of death. A man should envision such a lifetime once. A life spent as a martyr...to the God named "Dream". Ultimately, to be born, and then to simply live for no better reason...I can't abide such a life. They are...excellent troops. Together we have faced death so many times. They are my valuable comrades, devoting themselves to the dream I envision. But to me, a friend is...something else. Someone who would never depend on another's dream. Someone who wouldn't be compelled by anyone, but would determine and pursue his own reason to live...And should anyone trample that dream, he would oppose him body and soul, even if that threat were me myself. What I think a friend is...is one who is my '''"Equal"'''.''

116->''"Darkness. Deep darkness without even a trace of light. How much time has passed since I was cast into this darkness...? An eternity...but it also seems like an instant. All my senses are numbed and I can't feel a thing. What of my body? It’s like it's floating. In mid-air. Have I retained my sanity? Did I go insane long ago? In all this emptiness...only one thing is vivid. Only '''him'''. Like lightning on a dark night, he rises up within me, blazing. And again and again like a tidal wave, an infinite number of feelings surge upon me. Malice, friendship, jealousy, futility, regret, tenderness, sorrow, pain, hunger...So many recurring, yearning feelings. That giant swirl of violent emotions in which none are definite but all are implied. That alone is the '''bond''' which keeps my consciousness from vanishing amidst the numbness. I know that I'm different from other people. Those I’ve met can by no means disregard me. They always view me with either a look of '''good will''' or '''animosity'''. I know that the good will forms into trust or fellowship and the animosity into awe or possibly dread. Thereby I have grasped...the hearts of so many in these hands. But why is it when it comes to '''him''', I always lose my composure? He was the reason I've been thrown into the darkness, and now he's the sole sustenance keeping me alive. Out of so many thousands of comrades and tens of thousands of enemies, why just '''him'''...? How long ago did someone I was supposed to have in hand...instead gain such a strong hold on me? That endless play begun so long ago on the cobblestone of the back alley. That pilgrimage to claim what to me was the most sacred piece of junk. But now, as he shines so glaring within me...the junk grows dull. '''GUTS…!!'''"''

But the dream he's chasing is so genuine and extraordinary that the burden must be immeasurable. "A strong person"...it's simple to sum it up with those words. But I think that someone who wants to accomplish something grand endures that much more than other people. It's not that he "is" strong...Griffith has to "make" himself strong. I want to be by his side. If he's going to sacrifice everything for his dream, if his dream is to fight and cut away his own path, then I want to be his sword."''

Even in situations that seemed more or less unreasonable, my mind was at rest. Adapt...no. Perhaps my mind was merely benumbed. But as I encountered you and shared your journey, it would seem that not only Lady Farnese, but I too changed considerably. You clash head-on with your own destiny. Compared to my cooled demeanor, that is a life similar to being scorched by hellfire itself. While I arrayed myself in feigned ignorance, perhaps before I knew it, I too was affected by that heat. You are certainly a man impossible to ignore. I felt ineffectual, yet happy that Lady Farnese was being changed by you. And that's why I'll never allow it.''

176'''Guts''': ''Yeah [...] But still [...] compared to what you're doing, me fightin' with a hundred men doesn't really matter. It ain't just you. Griffith's the same way. He's got something he'd bet his entire life on. I think that kind thing's amazing. Compared to that, If I were to go out and fight a hundred or a thousand men, it wouldn't really be any big deal. That's what I thought.''\

Once the war's over, he plans to open a clothing shop in downtown Windham with the money he's saved up. He's more skilled than he looks. Nichole proposed to a woman, but she refused because she didn't want to be with a common soldier. He swears he'll get promoted to leading a hundred men soon and propose again. He doesn't care how risky it'll be in battle. Well, I guess everyone's staked themselves on lost causes. So when I look out there, it's like each one of those lights contains tiny dreams and hopes. That's the way it looks...''\

184'''Guts''': ''The blazing inferno...named Griffith. But you know, my flame aint' here. As for me, maybe I'm just warming myself by that campfire for a bit. Maybe I just stopped in by chance. As long as I have this, I'm confident I can survive any battle. That's how it's been up till now. Even before I joined the Band of the Hawk, no matter how badly the battle was lost, I myself was sure to survive. Like this time. But still, it don't really mean much. I was on the battlefield before I was old enough to understand things. The mercenary leader who raised me taught me nothing beyond how to wield a sword. I had nothin' but this! I don't wanna die, but just because I didn't wanna die, just because I didn't know more than how to use this, I kept fighting in battles. And maybe...more than anything, I've always tried to leave the most essential reason for fightin' up to other people.''\

"Make 'em refined, make 'em elegant..." Swords are just large butcher knives, after all. Tools meant for ''killing'' people. And so I forged it, as it was ''described''. A sword that could butcher...a ''dragon''.''\
200'''Rickert''': ''S-so then?''\
201'''Godo''': ''I almost got hung out to dry. So I ran away from the castle town, and I've lived here quietly since. I sure was ''young'' back then. Mighty things, things that could kill, that's all there was for me. But if anyone could handle ''this'', it'd still just be a hinderance. I don't like losin' track of the essence of a tool, but that's exactly what I did here. Now it's a good reminder.''\
202'''Rickert''': ''Can it...kill one? Could this really kill...a dragon?''\
203'''Godo''': ''If there ''were'' any dragons. But you know, this ain't even what you'd call a sword. It's a meaningless slab of iron you can't even lift, for killin' dragons and monsters that ain't even real. Your friend looks like he's about to fight a dragon, though. Seems to want to fight even after losing his hand and eye. He ain't up to the job, is he? Dragons are dragons because humans can't ''beat'' 'em."''

495Even when they dare follow the Hawk of Light they will have no choice but to submit\

498With my own two hands, I'll make this world a prison\
