Line 2:
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: The death of Rosine, one of the Apostles. {{spoiler|After Guts mortally wounds her, she manages to fly away from him and finally realizes that elves are real indeed but she just isn't one of them. She then feels regret for sacrificing her parents to demons and in her delirious state, tries to return home, but falls to her death.}}
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: It has been officially confirmed that the anime is being [http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc/news/2010-09-27/new-berserk-anime-project-launching remade]
** There is now a short [https://web.archive.org/web/20101001210341/http://en.nicoviewer.info/sm12264010 trailer]
*** This is, in fact, the first of five animated trailers made specifically to promote the release of the manga's 35th volume, each highlighting several events in the story such as {{spoiler|a fight between Guts and Griffith, Zodd's attack on the Band of the Hawk, a close-up on Griffith's Crimson Behelit, and even the first animated appearance of the Skull Knight}}. All of them are narrated by Gackt, a huge fan of the series.
*** It is still confirmed that the anime is being remade. It will feature several full lenghts OVAs rather than a regular episodic anime like the first series.
Line 60:
** Ever took a looksie at [http://www.mrsmanga.com/Berserk/075/6 Slan's corset?] Highly NSFW. Granted she's basically a BDSM sex goddess of evil, but you'll never look at her the same again.
* [[Growing the Beard]]: From the very start of the Golden Age arc and onward.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The huge, quiet, frontline-fighting, armored and hammer-wielding guy is named [[The Lord of the Rings|Pippin.]]
* [[Ho Yay]]: Laid on so thick between Guts and Griffith that it's got to be intentional. At one point they even have a ''naked water fight''. Griffith comments on his many "conflicting feelings" for Guts moments before {{spoiler|turning into a demon, ripping out his eye, and raping his love interest}}. There's also some [[Les Yay]] introduced into the mix. For more, [[Berserk/Ho Yay|see here.]]
* [[Holy Shit Quotient]]: Every time Guts swings his sword. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Every]] [[BFS|single]] [[Gorn|time]].
Line 89:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: More than you can shake a stick at.
* [[No Yay]]: for as much [[Ho Yay]], [[Les Yay]], and [[Foe Yay]] present in the series, expect there to be just as much [[No Yay]] in the same sentiments from many fans. Need a reminder?
** Griffith's [[
** Rosine's [[We Can Rule Together|relationship]] with her best friend Jill
** The King of Midland's [[Wife Husbandry|unhealthy relationship]] with his daughter Princess Charlotte
Line 99:
* [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]]: A fanbase example. Most of us especially despise {{spoiler|Griffith}} and his [[Moral Event Horizon]] because of the sole fact that he {{spoiler|horrifically raped Casca}}. Most of the fandom and Guts himself agree that [[This Is Unforgivable!|the most vile crime in the entire series]]. You know it when you see it.
* {{spoiler|[[Double Standard Rape (Male on Male)]]}}: Another trope used by the minority of the fandom who discredit Casca that is ultimately deconstructed. Some fans say that Casca should have "gotten over" her {{spoiler|rape ordeal}}, using {{spoiler|Guts' rape ordeal at the hands of Donovan}} as an example, saying that he got over it. Er, no. [[Hates Being Touched|No he didn't.]] {{spoiler|Male-on-male rape is just as impactful as male-on-female rape in ''Berserk.''}}
* [[Real Women
** Charlotte is a close second. Being a sheltered Royal Princess and a bit of a [[Shrinking Violet]] and a [[Moe]], especially at the beginning, more than a "feminist" fangirl call her out on being "just another doormat who only exists in relation to a man and whose sole purpose is to be taken advantage of and impregnated". Nevermind that her [[Princess Classic]] characterization is depicted as not being the best thing in the world...
* [[The Scrappy]]: Puck for really vague reasons. Often it is said that his jolly personality has nothing to do in a [[Darker and Edgier]] series, or that his being naked is [[Double Standard|inconvenient for male viewers]]. Other than that, the reasons are seldom heard. Evarella also applies at a lesser level.
