Berserk: The Golden Age Arc III - The Advent - Characters & Cast

Initially driven by love and a desire to protect Casca and save Griffith, his motivation twists into pure, unadulterated vengeance and survival by the film's brutal conclusion.

Guts begins the film returning to save his friends, having matured and found a sense of independent purpose. However, the events of the Eclipse violently strip away his newfound peace, physically maiming him and transforming him into the vengeful, cynical "Black Swordsman."

An obsessive, almost childish pursuit of his own kingdom, fueled by a deep-seated fear of being ordinary or weak.

Once a god-like figure to his men, Griffith is reduced to a helpless, mute cripple. Unable to cope with his sheer powerlessness and the pity of his former equal, Guts, he succumbs to the temptations of the God Hand, shedding his humanity to be reborn as the demon lord Femto.

To protect the remnants of the Band of the Hawk and to reconcile her lingering devotion to Griffith with her growing love for Guts.

Casca steps up as the reluctant but capable leader of the Hawks in Griffith's absence. She finally allows herself to love Guts, only to have her reality completely destroyed during the Eclipse. The sheer horror and violation she experiences shatters her psyche completely.

To enforce the laws of causality and shepherd humanity's darkest desires into the creation of new demonic deities.

As the leader of the God Hand, Void does not change. Instead, he acts as the orchestrator of Griffith's fall, guiding the narrative toward its apocalyptic inevitability.
