[241][242][243][244] Peter Fobian, in an essay of the legacy and impact of Berserk, called it a "monolith not only for anime and manga, but also fantasy literature, video games, you name it," comparing its level of
influence to Blade Runner, further adding: "it's difficult to imagine what the world might look like without it, and the generations of creators the series inspired. "[230] According to writer and editor Kazushi Shimada, series like Fullmetal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba or Jujutsu Kaisen would not have existed if not for Berserk. [245] Some dark fantasy manga authors who have declared influence from Berserk include Hajime Isayama (Attack on Titan),[246] Kazue
Kato (Blue Exorcist),[247] and Yana Toboso (Black Butler). [248] Other authors influenced by Berserk include Makoto Yukimura (Vinland Saga),[249] Yūki Tabata (Black Clover),[250] and Ryōgo Narita (Baccano! and Durarara!!). [251] Adi Shankar, producer of the Castlevania animated series, said in an interview that he would like to adapt Berserk, calling the "hyper-detailed beauty" of Miura's artwork a "true masterpiece",[252] while Adam Deats, Castlevania assistant director, stated that the show was inspired by Berserk. [240] Critics like Gene Park of The Washington Post and Ramsey Isler of IGN stated that Berserk started a visual trend of characters wielding giant swords that spread to Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII, Dante from Devil May Cry, and Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach. [242][253] Berserk has also inspired a number of video games, including the Dynasty Warriors series,[254][255] the Final Fantasy series (considerably Final Fantasy VII and XIV),[254][256] the Dark Souls series,[255] Bloodborne,[243] Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice,[257] Elden Ring,[258][259] and Capcom's Devil May Cry and Dragon's Dogma series. [260][139][261] Finnish heavy metal band Battle Beast have written songs about Berserk, including several on their
2013 self-titled album. [262][263] When guitarist Anton Kabanen left Battle Beast in 2015, he formed Beast in Black and continues to write songs about the series. [264] The deathcore band Brand of Sacrifice released the album God Hand in 2019. Both the band and album are hugely inspired by Berserk.
Character
It is crystal clear from the beginning that our main character is not meant to be liked. In his previous life, Rudeus was a complete failure of society. He mooched off his parents, skipped
their funeral, and
never accomplished a single thing in his life. However, maybe we were never meant to like him in the first place. His flaws as a human being not only makes him relatable as a character, but also leaves room for him to change. Remorse and regret haunt Rudeus, and he sees this second chance at life to correct himself, slowly but surely. The link between Rudeus' past life to his present lives up to the theme of reincarnation, something which MANY MANY isekai animes simply refuse to acknowledge. Through his willingness to learn new languages, it also goes to show that he is willing to work hard and refuses to repeat the habits of the life he had lived previously. Contrary to what many people seem to believe, Rudeus is not overpowered. It is clear that Rudeus has been shown to have countless flaws, one being in battle where he is unable to thrive in close-range combat. His skills as a magician were not passed down to him by some divine power, he had learned and trained himself how to utilize the magic in the unfamiliar world in which he was thrust upon.
Rudeus learns swordplay from his father, Paul, and meets Sylphiette, a girl his age who quickly becomes his
closest friend. As Rudeus' second chance at life begins, he tries to make the most of his new opportunity while conquering his traumatic past. And perhaps, one day, he may find the one thing he could not find in his old world—love.
