A great number of theories have sprung up ever since FromSoftware chose to release the story trailer for Elden Ring’s upcoming Dlc. However, one of these theories does not just bring to light new predictions but touches on an age-old speculation of how the game might be greatly influenced by one of the greatest works in the Japanese manga industry.

Almost every mangaka tends to create a specific quality in their protagonists that draws parallels between the main character and the mangaka. However, this was not the case with Kentaro Miura and his masterpiece, Berserk. Miura, once in an interview, revealed that the character that replicated him the most was Pippin.
Guts in Berserk manga | Studio Gaga
Pippin was one of the members of the Band of Falcons who helped Guts escape. He did not speak much, but whenever he did, it would either be a serious discussion or to offer some advice. Pippin had a good relationship with Guts in the series, and the two were called the power duo of Berserk.
According to Miura, when he planned Berserk, he initially thought of only five characters for the series and all of them were based on his friends. However, there were no Guts, Griffith, or Casca in his friend circle,...

Kentaro Miura’s magnum opus, Berserk, features the character of Guts, who, according to the story, has suffered a lot and is still suffering only to achieve the one thing for which he started his journey. His suffering as a seinen manga character is one of the reasons why fans are so connected with the protagonist and love him so much.

However, there is one character in the Shonen genre who might have suffered as much as Guts. The character in the discussion is Bartholomew Kuma, the former king of the Sorbet Kingdom and a founding member of the Revolutionary Army.

His presence of mind and creativity were very well depicted in his magnum opus. Guts’ journey to put an end to his former friend has kept the anime fans busy for more than three decades.

It may sound surprising, but during an old interview, he confirmed that he had a problem drawing manga panels.

The death of Kentaro Miura, the creator of Berserk, was a big shock to the anime and manga industry. His death was announced in May 2021, and the reason was listed as acute aortic dissection. Not only did his untimely death sadden his fans, but it also put an indefinite halt on his masterpiece.

No one knew what the future would hold for Berserk and its protagonist Guts, until a year later, Miura’s friend and manga artist Kouji Mori announced, along with Studio Gaga, that they would try to preserve Miura’s legacy by continuing Berserk without him. Although it was a tough decision, it surely worked in the favor of the series and the memory of Miura.

During an interview, he mentioned his obsession, and it showed that he can be pretty competitive, just the way his characters are.

While Berserk may not be something that has the same appeal as its fellow manga and anime series such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, or Sailor Moon. However, there is no denying that the series has survived the test of time, establishing itself as one of the greatest manga to be ever written. Therefore, it can be proclaimed Kentaro Miura’s magnum opus has greatly contributed to pop culture, with its dark atmosphere and an outstanding antihero.

While Kentaro Miura’s manga stands tall as a towering achievement in the world of manga, delving deep into the complex themes of power, philosophical concepts, and the darkness present within us all. While one might believe that the mangaka artist would have a serious source of recreation, that was not the case as he used to find joy in playing girl games when he was not crammed in his workspace.

Kentaro Miura’s Berserk is one of the top dark fantasy anime/manga to date, and Gut’s Dragon Slayer sword is featured in every image of the franchise. It has now become almost like a trademark for the protagonist to slug around the huge slab of iron.
However, it is because of the sword’s massive size that Guts can use it to slay the apostles of God. Every fallen apostle adds to the sword’s strength, making it more and more effective every kill. Let’s say that Dragon Slayer is no less popular than Guts himself.
So, indeed it should be surprising for Berserk fans to know that Miura might not like Gut’s sword as much as everyone else.

Kentarou Miura is a legendary figure in the anime and manga industry. He created one of the most iconic series ever. Berserk’s popularity can put any top anime to shame. Even though the manga is most likely to remain unfinished due to the mangaka’s untimely death, it does not stop fans from delving into the world of pure chaos and darkness.
The Seinen genre manga has put everyone on the edge of their seats. Guts’ journey became more perilous as the story progressed. Berserk has otherworldly characters, and when asked whether there are any references, Kentarou Miura named a famous film series that is over two decades old. Henry Cavill also acted in one of the movies. The film series that Miura named was Hellraiser, which was first released in 1987.

Although the 1997 anime adaptation of the story under the studio named Olm Team Iguchi, did the best they could with the available resources they had, however, the difficult journey of our main character, Guts, his quest for revenge, and his search for peace of mind, were something that has never been fully explored in the anime.

February 4 was a big night for Taylor Swift, as she took home her fourth Album of the Year Grammy for “Midnights,” an achievement no other performer has ever managed. The Grammys handing out a fourth Album of the Year trophy to anyone is a big deal. But, strangely enough, Swift’s path to victory this time was arguably smoother than all of her previous wins.
Swift was aided by a couple of factors. The first and perhaps most obvious was that 2023 was simply the year of Taylor Swift. “Midnights” was a huge success commercially, achieving over 1.5 million album units in its first week, her biggest week ever at the time and a remarkable achievement for anyone’s 10th studio album. She followed that with the iconic Eras Tour, which is already the highest grossing tour of all time despite not being over yet. Additionally, the album produced multiple hit singles,...

Taylor Swift took home the award for album of the year at the 2024 Grammys on Sunday night and made history.
The singer was nominated alongside World Music Radio (Jon Batiste), the record (Boygenius), Endless Summer Vacation (Miley Cyrus), Did You Know That There‘s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd (Lana Del Rey),The Age of Pleasure (Janelle Monáe), Guts (Olivia Rodrigo) and Sos (Sza).
The award was presented by Céline Dion, who made a surprise appearance amid her health battle with stiff-person syndrome.
A visibly shocked Swift was quick to express her disbelief when taking the stage with longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff and singer Lana Del Rey.
“I don’t know, man. I get to work with one of my best friends, who is not only one of my best friends but is a once-in-a-generation producer that’s Jack Antonoff. I’m so lucky,” she said of Antonoff.
She also gave a shout-out to Rey,...

The last time Olivia Rodrigo performed at the Grammys, she was chilling in a vintage white Mercedes Benz belting “Drivers License.” Now the pop star has returned, this time for a gushing version of “Vampire.”
Performing the Guts track at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, Rodrigo arrived onstage in a deep red silk gown, tearing through the track as streaks of blood slowly appeared on her arms and face.

Of course Sza’s Sos was the album I played the most in 2023 — but remember, it came out in December 2022 and I ranked it second on last year’s list of top albums, obviously under Beyoncé’s Renaissance.
Though Sza owned the year, several great albums showed up in 2023. Here are the projects that lived rent free in my home and in my headphones.
1. Victoria Monét, Jaguar II
It’s a beautiful thing when someone working to help others achieve their dreams steps into the limelight. With Jaguar II, that’s Victoria Monét. The songwriter behind hits for Ariana Grande and others has been releasing incredible music for years — check out 2018’s Life After Love, Pt. 2 and 2020’s Jaguar if you’re just arriving at her fan club — but she’s finally at the forefront, and her major label debut album is a masterpiece. She’s bold and bombastic on “On My Mama,...

This article contains spoilers for "Gen V" episode 6.
Part of the reason Prime Video's "The Boys" has been acclaimed is the ways it has adapted its source material, a satirical superhero gore-fest by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The comic has its moments of pathos, but it's mostly just a vile splatterfest. There's so much bad taste abound in the 72 issues that it often makes you wish your brain could spit it out.
"The Boys" TV series (developed by Eric Kripke) keeps the violence and dark humor, but it sharpens the comic's genre critique while updating it for modern politics. The superheroes of "The Boys" are still stand-ins for the rot of corporate America and celebrity culture. However, the TV show explores its characters with more sincerity (take the musical scene in episode 5). Kripke's "The Boys" doesn't laugh at its characters (at least not the leads) in the same way that Ennis' does.

It comes as no surprise that Drake‘s new album “For All the Dogs” debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200. It’s his 13th number-one album on the chart, which places him third on the list of the most chart-toppers ever, behind only The Beatles (19) and Jay-Z (14). Taylor Swift is close behind with 12, but she’s likely to tie Drake again when she releases her re-recorded “1989” later this month. Read more about this week’s chart here at Billboard.com.
Despite mixed reviews, “For All the Dogs” achieved 402,000 equivalent album units based on its combined record sales, individual track sales and online streams. But really, it was almost all streaming that did it. 391,000 units came from streaming, which equates to 514.01 million streams of the album’s 23 tracks. That’s the biggest streaming week of the year and the fourth biggest week ever. Drake actually accounts for four of the top five streaming weeks of all-time,...

Every musician knows that critical acclaim, number one hits, gold and platinum plaques, and measly Grammys mean absolutely nothing compared to the utterly sincere, irony-free, unexpectedly astute compliments of a child. Olivia Rodrigo got to experience this apex of pop stardom when she met one of her biggest fans, also named Olivia, on the YouTube series Recess Therapy.

Few things in music are more daunting than following up a smash debut album, but Olivia Rodrigo has pulled off that feat with Guts. The follow-up to 2021’s Sour finds the singer-songwriter turning the glories and messes of young adulthood into undeniable pop-punk bangers. That’s not to say its success was a foregone conclusion, nor was its creation an effortless endeavor. In her new Rolling Stone cover story, we learn all about how Rodrigo navigated the rigors and pressures of songwriting, celebrity, and just plain growing up to craft...

Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts presents a young woman with more wide-reaching concerns than the single-minded scorned lover of 2021’s Sour. On her second studio album, the singer delves further into self-doubt, pirouetting from peer envy (“Lacy”), to the pressure of meeting society’s expectations (“Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl”), to suffocating beauty standards (“Pretty Isn’t Pretty”). Some of these are more richly realized than others, but the 20-year-old Rodrigo’s attempts to expand the aperture of her worldview are admirable.
The writing on Guts teeters on the edge between the broad and the specific, a balance that’s resulted in some of the savviest and most exciting pop music. One of the album’s highlights, “Logical,” is a stinging takedown of an ex-flame, and like many of the songs here, it first appears earnest but is layered with a wounded, embittered sarcasm. The track illustrates the confusing, devastating experience...

Now that Olivia Rodrigo has unveiled her sophomore album Guts, the 20-year-old singer is reflecting on her growth, both musically and personally, since she shook the music scene with her 2021 debut album Sour.
On Friday, while chatting with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily, Rodrigo spoke about how the making of Guts gave her “a lot of confidence as a songwriter.”
“I really had to try to block out the noise and just focus on the craft of songwriting.”
“I think writing the first album, it just felt so spontaneous. I was 17 years old learning how to write songs for the first time and just pouring my heart out. I had so much to say,” she elaborated. “I think this time I was in a different place and I was having a lot of pressure and a lot of expectations placed on me and I think...

Olivia’s pop-punk bangers are full of killer lines (“I wanna meet your mom, just to tell her her son sucks”), but she pushes deeper in powerful ballads like “Logical.” All over Guts, she’s so witty, so pissed off,...

Olivia Rodrigo is opening up about the pressure she felt after dropping Sour in 2021, the debut album that brought her stardom as well as a license to “make mistakes,” which she says was evident in the people she chose to date.
In an interview with the New York Times, the 20-year-old singer shares how her approach to life changed after finding fame. Rodrigo essentially says she wanted to be just like every other young adult with newfound freedom — the freedom to find herself without the judgment.
“I had such a desire to live and experience things and make mistakes and grow after Sour came out, I kind of felt this pressure to be this girl that I thought everyone expected me to be,” she says. “And I think because of that pressure, maybe I did things that maybe I shouldn’t have — dated people I shouldn’t have.”
