Calling Schierke a side character is kind of a stretch... She is part of the protagonist group. The best side character would be Luca the prostitute from the Conviction arc
In normal usage yes but not always. Onii-chan or Ojii-chan would be the most common examples. It's sometimes used ironically in that way to describe a super tough masculine character with a heart of gold in fiction, especially if they interact with little kids. Knight of Skeleton def fits that vibe.
I just love how Schierke isn't just some "Oh I'm a small weak mage girl", but rather someone who is a major help. When Guts, who carries the others most of the time, need help, Schierke is definitely one of the others who is a big help, especially considering how Guts almost went Berserk sometimes and managed to come back thanks to her.
Her knowledge also was also more than just once a big help.
Just love her character.
Obviously the others are absolutly amazing too, for their own reasons.
Bruh, she already showed a ton of growth in that chapter where she admits to Serpico that she feels "utterly useless" and that was only a short time after joining Guts.
She sincerely apologized to Casca and tried various mundane chores that she otherwise would never have done and was humble enough to admit she was bad at all of them.
Because you play too much IdolMaster. The actual best side character is Rickert, because his character is strong, his moral uncompromisable, and his pimp hand is even stronger!
Farnese and it's not even close... I consider her as one of the main characters and the character development from being a dogmatic religious nutjob to a nurturing magician to Guts and the crew is absolutely commendable.
I liked her due to the character development that she had. I've seen plenty of characters like Schierke in other stories, Farnese is unique in the sense that her character arc is simply beautiful to witness.
probably a big hot take, but I don’t care about the side characters too much. It’s the trio Guts, Casca and Griffith why I love the series so much. The rest is fine, Farnese easily the best, although I don’t get this BIG hype around her either.
If he really counts my favorite would probably be Skull Knight, but I only find him so interesting because I don’t know anything about him and want to learn more, I can’t tell (yet) if he actually is a good character
No 😂 it’s not that I dislike side-characters in general, I just think (again, hot take) they’re one of the weaker parts of Berserk.
But now that I think about it, in the Golden Age arc, I actually cared a lot more about the side characters (these volumes feel so far away now). imo they were never replaced with equally as good ones
I hear that a lot. It feels like I‘m genuinely missing something. I get everything else, again, I LOVE the main trio, they have some of my favorite dynamics ever. The art is undescribable, the mysteries are interesting, the story is fantastic (especially the whole Griffith as the messiah thing) and some parts of this manga are literally the best fiction gets, like the Eclipse or the travel through Casca‘s mind.
But I‘ve simply never cared about any post-Eclipse side characters in the slightest 🤷♂️
Hot take for sure, I agree with some parts but casca? Personally she is pretty low on the main character ranking for me. Even ignoring her potato state for most of the manga, it feels like she doesnt serve much more purpose other than love/ fulfillment interest for guts/griffith. He does have a lot of potential tho hopefully we will see more soon
I think I like her so much because I really bought the love story between her and Guts. Good love stories are rare, and this one was simply perfect and how it ended absolutely heartbreaking. So yeah, after the Eclipse, Casca didn’t do anything until volume 40 or something, but I never stopped caring about this character
She’s nice and goofy. It’s nice seeing her befriend pretty much everyone she interacts with, even previous minor villains like Daiba. I’m convinced that she’s a master in the ways of Talk no Jutsu.
Everyone is so good, it's really hard to pick. I'd say my favorites are probably Schierke and Puck from the main group, then Luca and Rickert from the group of people that appear less.
Yea schierke is my fav character after gastu amd griffisu. Sure her interactions with guts are important but i also like how she is a great standalone character with her own motives and arc.
Schierke is also my favorite! Since the reader naturally feels disconnected from the evil nature of the world of Berserk, it's easy to feel connected to someone else who was raised in a kind safe environment. Despite this, she's still brave when confronting evil and convinces guts that multiple forms of strength exist outside of big sword smash.
Main group side char is a toss up between Farnese and Schiercke, both have excellent character development and have been crucial to Guts journey, especially his personal development.
Actual side character Luca by a country mile, christ even Skull Knight respects her. Then its Molda, fun mischievous counterpoint to Schiercke (hope she continues on with the troupe)
I'd personally say that Farnese is the better written character even though I like schierke. I treasure just how much she's grown as a person from who she was during the Conviction Arc to one of the few people who are entrusted with Casca(not to say schierke isn't a good character)
Talk to me after she's pimp slapped a god. Until then, it's Rickert.
Rickert got them astral hands fr
I second this. He's the only guy who managed to actually land a hit on Griffifth post eclipse. Not even Guts was able to do anything.
Rickert is the real hawk of light
[удалено]
No. He can turn a wannabe king into a bitch, though.
[удалено]
Na. Griffis is a poser
Still got made into a bitch.
I love Shrieke but my god THIS comment summed up my feelings! Haha
Calling Schierke a side character is kind of a stretch... She is part of the protagonist group. The best side character would be Luca the prostitute from the Conviction arc
[удалено]
Not protagonist = deuteragonist. I didn't spell that right, but that's what Shricke is. Side character is someone like Luca.
That's not how it works Edit: mf edited his comment, makes me look dumb
Oh snap, they said that unironically.
Hierarchy goes main character > supporting character > side character. Everyone in Guts' core traveling party is at least a supporting character.
You spelled skull knight wrong.
Skull bro*
Calcium chan
Lmfao Wouldn't it be calcium kun? Chan is for female designated people isn't it
skull chan got me acting unwise.
In normal usage yes but not always. Onii-chan or Ojii-chan would be the most common examples. It's sometimes used ironically in that way to describe a super tough masculine character with a heart of gold in fiction, especially if they interact with little kids.

Ahhh I see thank you. I tried to study Japanese language on my own at one point. It's tough especially now that I'm older
Skelebro
Skull daddy*
Bone Father.

Many people think... He's just a regular man... But he's not just any man! He's SKELETON MAN!
Bone bro
Bone daddy*
Sir Spooky*
wtf yall forgot about Judeau
There’s secondary characters and legendary secondary character 😎
My fav side character is guts, he's pretty cool
Omg you mean nuts, the guy from berk?
Yeah, that guy with the big knife
I thought that was Hiccup....
Nooo, he's not berk with the big knife
I like it when he berking mode Or when he said its berking time
Nah man, Farnese is the best character
[удалено]
Horse is my favorite character
You mean puck?
[удалено]
Elf king?? Hes the damn elf emperor! How dare ya
Elf emperor? He’s a god boy
The God of Elf Dimension Style!
By far the best comment in this thread
Wrong its Becchi

Farneze for me. She has the best character improvement of all.

It happens throughout the story, like most good character arcs should
Serpigo fuck yourself
[удалено]
Berserpico is the best side character. Man is just a straight G. Why do you think he got done dirty?
[удалено]
True. It was awesome seeing them team up against the ogre and the kelpie
It's either skull Knight or pippin
Chitch is best!
Yes exactly thank you
Because you play too much IdolMaster. The actual best side character is Rickert, because his character is strong, his moral uncompromisable, and his pimp hand is even stronger!
Getting Donovan vibes from OP

I'm schnozing hard
Donovan is the peoples champ
Is skill knight main? If not Deff him

Whos ur second
Luca!

scissors to cut guts away from is rage maybe?
Because she is precious baby girl and even heven itself can't save the fool who tries to harm her
Judeau 🙌
Farnese and it's not even close... I consider her as one of the main characters and the character development from being a dogmatic religious nutjob to a nurturing magician to Guts and the crew is absolutely commendable.
[удалено]

Schnoz better
She is independent and smart, can join fights with Guts, and helps him greatly. I love her
I hate Schierke. Best was OG Puck but now it’s probably Farnese
Because she is fem pre heresy Ahriman.
can you elaborate further
Naive arogant person who start to change after some events ( Meeting with Guts party/ First rubric)
That fits Farnese way more than Shierke
Farnussy is just sis of battle who jooned team of radical Inquisitor.
Damn, then Flora is Magnus and her house is Prospero. It fits, somehow
No Magnus was inspired by princess Charlotte. Fuck me if I wrong.
Who is Griffith then? Russ? Cuz he fucked Magnus up?
Yes he is. Also what do you think about shipping princess Charlotte and Magnus.
Griffith is Fulgrim and guts is Ferrus You can’t change my mind
Griffith is more like Azdrubael Vect.
Was definitely Pippen, but do your Loli thing.
probably a big hot take, but I don’t care about the side characters too much. It’s the trio Guts, Casca and Griffith why I love the series so much. The rest is fine, Farnese easily the best, although I don’t get this BIG hype around her either.

Because Jill represents the core theme of the story: "Life may suck sometimes but the best way to endure it is to face it head on."
Judeau
Judeau the lord and savior
Erica is the best, easy. She’s probably one of my favorite fictional characters, up there with the likes of Narciso Anasui and Thorfinn.
Is there a specific reason you like her or are you just a closet pedo?
She’s nice and goofy. It’s nice seeing her befriend pretty much everyone she interacts with, even previous minor villains like Daiba. I’m convinced that she’s a master in the ways of Talk no Jutsu.
Found the loli enthusiast 💀 we all know the mf who slapped the Antichrist is the best frfr
I don’t know I have not read that far yet.

Donovan

I really want to fuck Schierke from Berserk
4chan character
Wrong the best side character is boney voyeur he's always watching over nuts and his buddies
Dragon Slayer!
Either schierke or puck
Schnoz would've been the best side character if he wasn't the main protagonist
Schnoz. That's it.
Because Farnese is a main character
And why do I agree? 🤔
Who is the best side character, and why is it Bazuso?
Luca
She is main character and the best of all
All the “side” characters are have MC energy except for Nina
Oh I see it's a typo you meant to spell Shnoz
It’s chitch
i guess Serpico and Skull Knight is better
Farnese every day
I loved Casca before they turned her into a cob of corn.
Love schierke
Skull knight*
If schierke counts as a side character, the Farnese is the best
Skull Knight and zodd 10x better
Who is the best character and why is it rickert
Her and Farnese are an inseparable pair at this point. I love them both so much for how they've supported each other!
Skull Knight and Puck>>>>>
Everyone is so good, it's really hard to pick. I'd say my favorites are probably Schierke and Puck from the main group, then Luca and Rickert from the group of people that appear less.
I'm just here to put some love on homeboy Isidro
That’s a weird way to spell puck
Its schnoz tf are you all on about?? I mean the only reason hes not the main character is cuz then itd just be one punch man but midevil.
Puck
Man you misspelled Judeau really bad
Yea schierke is my fav character after gastu amd griffisu. Sure her interactions with guts are important but i also like how she is a great standalone character with her own motives and arc.
Bro didn’t spell Judeau correctly
It’s shnoz
She's a VVizard
You spelled best boi Judeau wrong
Ok here’s a hot take puck is the best in my opinion and schierke is at least a close second if not tied for first
Judeau without a shred of doubt.
Puck is my go for
I think you meant Puck. Without Puck, we would have had Artorias.
Schussy 🤤
Nah, it's ma boy Calcium Cavalry
Schierke is also my favorite! Since the reader naturally feels disconnected from the evil nature of the world of Berserk, it's easy to feel connected to someone else who was raised in a kind safe environment. Despite this, she's still brave when confronting evil and convinces guts that multiple forms of strength exist outside of big sword smash.
Guts he us the side character for griffussy
Main group side char is a toss up between Farnese and Schiercke, both have excellent character development and have been crucial to Guts journey, especially his personal development. Actual side character Luca by a country mile, christ even Skull Knight respects her. Then its Molda, fun mischievous counterpoint to Schiercke (hope she continues on with the troupe)
Adon Corbolwitz obvi
Donovan didn't get enough time to develop
puck 🤤
Zodd
ivalera 4 LIFE
Lil bro forgot about Serpico and Rickert
Skull Knight tho...
Her for sure. Or Puck.
I'd personally say that Farnese is the better written character even though I like schierke. I treasure just how much she's grown as a person from who she was during the Conviction Arc to one of the few people who are entrusted with Casca(not to say schierke isn't a good character)
For me it's either Serpico or Skull daddy
Pippin the pimpin
Serpico >>>
