** The first chapter also feature a scene in which Guts is surrounded by a large number of soldiers who take him captive. Anyone reading farther along in the series would realize that it's laughable to think that those soldiers had ANY chance of taking Guts against his will, given his inhuman sword skills. There is no indication in the chapter that Guts surrendered on purpose, and doing that would mostly be out of character for him, so the scene stands out all the more compared to later.

** Berserk: Prototype, which is included in Volume 14. Its style and general aesthetic is a little more comical and reminiscent of a ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''-type violent {{Shounen}}, which the manga was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally envisioned as]]. It also has several wildly different plot points from the manga. Guts has a [[EyepatchOfPower badass eyepatch]] and acts more like his mercenary self than his Black Swordsman persona, Puck is still Puck... well, kinda girly, but still Puck, and his crossbow is a normal one instead of the repeating crossbow from the main series.

* {{Foil}}: Guts and Griffith serve as foils whose character traits contrast with each other. Guts is a loner, suspicious of other people, while Griffith draws other people to himself. Guts has NoSocialSkills, while Griffith has great charisma and charm. Guts is an uncultured manly man, while Griffith is a sophisticated {{Bishonen}}. Guts lives in the moment, focusing on living another day, while Griffith has a grand dream and always looks toward the future. Guts relies on his strength and toughness to fight, while Griffith prefers speed and finesse. After his reincarnation, Griffith is a VillainWithGoodPublicity who is universally worshiped by his army and the people and associated with light and the color white, while Guts is a HeroWithBadPublicity associated with darkness and the color black who is [[WalkingDisasterArea feared]], hated, and shrouded in mystery.

* HopeIsScary: We all know the general mood that Guts has been in since the Eclipse, but in volume 28, Guts is given a glimmer of hope when the Skull Knight suggests that Casca might be cured of her insanity once and for all if Guts can get her to Elfhelm. The message is so paralyzing that [[WhenHeSmiles Guts actually smiles a real smile]] at the thought of Casca being returned to normal... that is, IF that's what she truly wants, so says the Skull Knight. Now, Guts is more worried over the Skull Knight's cryptic message than whether Casca can be cured at all.
