ベルセルク

Synopsis:

Now branded for death and destined to be hunted by demons until the day he dies, Guts embarks on a journey to defy such a gruesome fate, as waves of beasts relentlessly pursue him. Steeling his resolve, he takes up the monstrous blade Dragonslayer and vows to exact vengeance on the one responsible, hunting down the very man he once looked up to and considered a friend. Along the way, he encounters some unlikely allies, such as a small elf named Puck, and Isidro, a young thief looking to learn swordsmanship from the former mercenary. As the ragtag group slowly comes together after having decided to join Guts in his quest, they will face incredible danger unlike anything they have ever experienced before. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main Characters:

Guts

ガッツ

Character ID: 422

About Character and Role:

Guts is the protagonist of Berserk. He is a tall, muscular man that swings a huge sword called the Dragon Slayer, he has a prosthetic left forearm that has a magnetic grip that also conceals a cannon. Renowned as the "Black Swordsman", he is a former mercenary and branded wanderer who travels the world in a constant internal struggle between pursuing his own ends and protecting those dear to him.

Puck

パック

Character ID: 5060

About Character and Role:

A wind spirit from Elfhelm, a utopia on the island Skellig in the Western Sea. Elves in Berserk can only be seen by the open-minded; the devoutly religious cannot see Puck at all, though he can play with their face unbeknownst to them. Puck can secrete a powder from his wings to quickly heal wounds and can emit a bright flash to blind enemies. On occasion, he also resorts to his "Bloody Needle" attack, tossing a spiny object resembling a seed pod at someone. It deals no injury, but is painful enough to prompt most victims to cry out. Puck was the first to join Guts's journey, and is starting to show a strange attachment to the Behelit Guts took upon his battle with the Count. Puck often serves as comic relief along with Isidro. The two are frequently drawn in an exaggerated manner. He is very angry when he ever is mixed up with a Pixie or Fairy quick to state the difference. He also seems to have a brother-sister relationship with the newest comic relief character the female elf Evarella. (Source: Wikipedia)

Isidro

None

Character ID: 7859

About Character and Role:

A runaway brat turned thief, Isidro dreams of becoming a great swordsman, which made him tag along with Guts. Despite his lack of strength and skill, he utilizes his small size and agility to his advantage, along with various tricks and tools. He has a great ego and plans to become the very best; he initially planned to "observe" Guts and steal his "techniques" to surpass him. But he slowly starts to realize the inconceivable difference in strength between him and Guts, but that there may even be ways for him to become a formidable warrior... His most important role however, is probably to serve as a comic relief along with Puck.

Casca

キャスカ

Character ID: 423

About Character and Role:

Casca was the only female soldier in the original Band of the Hawk and is behind only to Guts and Griffith in swordsmanship. Her ambivalent relationship to both of them makes her moody and capricious. Casca joins the Band of the Hawk after Griffith saves her from a sexual assault by a nobleman.

After Griffith is imprisoned, she becomes the leader of the Band of the Hawk and, along with Guts, leads the mission to rescue Griffith. Upon arriving in Elfheim, Schierke and Farnese take it upon themselves to dive into Casca's mind and restore her mental state. They manage to get the old Casca back but at a price of her still not being able to see Guts, without reliving the Eclipse
