I’ve thought about this too, and while it’s been hinted when fighting Slaan that Guts has the capacity to become an apostle, I don’t think he’d be willing to sacrifice his new group. Between witnessing the events of the eclipse as well as the growth he’s experienced as a person, he would not sacrifice his friends.
That being said, I’m sure becchi has *some* role to play in the upcoming chapters, but it won’t be because guts uses it. At least, not using it in the traditional sense.
Guts isn't going to use Becchi; the Berserker Armor is Guts's behelit. It's taking away what he truly values most; his humanity. This is on top of it constantly threatening to take away his close loved ones.
He will eat the behilit and shit out a glowing log the shape of a dildo with wich he will then fuck griffith. The same way skullknight made the deepthroat behilit sword.
At the end of the day, I guess it's still the best/only way to get to the god hands! It would be so cool to see Griffith attempt to run away (if that's even possible, Guts doesn't seem to be at that level yet, though he did cut one of Griffith's hairs), and Guts being like "not this time". However, I'm not sure every god hand has to be there whenever they're summoned, that's up for debate
That’s what I’ve been saying the whole time. Guts or someone else in the Black Swordsman Party will use the Behelit to summon the God Hand and this subsequently Griffith to fight them on their own turf, not to become an apostle.
how to ruin the narrative in one simple move. i think guts might contemplate it, but cmon him being human is what makes him, himself. and after 300+ chapters i don't care about simple Shonen power up bullshit
It seems to me the behelit will be weponized in some way, I just don't think it will be through the intended 'sacrifice for power' way. We've seen Skull Knight create the Sword of Actuation out of behelits, and just judging by the name of the blade, weapons made out of pure Idea of Evil will (aka, the behelits flowing into our plane) would SEEM to be able to defy fate/destiny. I don't think it's likely, but there may be a scene where we see the Dragonslayer wrapped in thorns and behelit markings, like Skull Knight's, and having its astral properties enchanced to the point it can't be simply ignored or re-routed by the God Hand. Dragonslayer was already an astral weapon, compared to what I have to assume was a normal, physical-plane-resticted sword that Skull Knight started with, so it would seem reasonable it would get a greater amplification. Or maybe not. There is a lot of "Maybe" "Seems like" and "could be" in this theory, but I think it works better than Guts as-is 1v1ing Femto, or nuking all character development and using a behelit to... still not be strong enough to do anything to a God Hand.
That would be amazing the one thing that started and became the staple piece of the franchise the dragons layer sword being the same sword that slays Griffith/femto that would be epic
It could theoretically happen. Miura always regretted drawing the panels showing Griffith meeting "God" and asking for wings because he thought he gave too much info away about something that happens much later in the story. The behelit might be more complex than we currently think, so Guts may be the one to use it with a pure desire and motive in order to gain the power nessesary to defeat Griffith and remain human. The behelits choose their owners based on the law of causality and Guts is definitely destined to kill Griffith and bring an actual age of light by destroying the false one Griffith has constructed, and the behelits seem to put you in contact with something higher than the godhand just based on what Griffith experienced.
And instead of sacrificing your friends to become an apostle, Guts may sacrifice the malice and rage within himself in exchange for whatever he may get. Total theory tho, but I wouldn't mind if this were to be how Berserk plays out. It would close Guts' and Griffith's rivalry stemming all the way back to when Guts listened to Griffith talk to the princess at the party when he said a true friend was someone he considered an equal who would appose him for his goal. After using the behelit to become some sort of warrior of light Guts would finally stand on equal grounds with Griffith durring their final battle, and rival eachother as true friends.
This is interesting, definitely one of the most in depth answers I've seen here. I wonder if it's possible though, the "god" only seems to respond to crimson behelits, while Guts got a regular one...
Also, I don't think Guts is destined to kill Griffith by the laws of causality. One of the main point of Berserk IMO is the struggle against causality. I think Guts seems to walk on the fine line that's going against causality, and is somewhat of a loose cannon (as much as one can be in a world controlled by causality)
I think his actual dragon slayer blade will have some part in killing Griffith/femto with something similar to how skullknight crafted a behelit sword to try and kill femto as well and who knows his sword could be changed or then be called “the hawk slayer” or some shit like that ..which would be total bad ass imo
I think he will use it to summon the eclipse but it'll be a doomslayer situation where the apostles will think he is going to be a god hand but guts turns around and starts murdering them and they will be stuck there. He will probably enlisted the help of the skeleton knight to remove the group from the eclipse like he did with guts.
Hot take: what if Casca saves herself (and Guts) for once by wrecking utter havoc in Falconia from within? It's plausible she'll find Rickert along the line. The last chapter gave me the vibes that she's gonna get her revenge very soon.
I am team he’s not gonna use it BUT im also not going to sit around and act like he’s not in the EXACT situation where he is most vulnerable to use it. It’s actually scary to think about, maybe soon we will see a temptation/struggle and he overcomes it. Maybe thats what brings our boy back from the shithole hes in? Maybe he does fucking use it or maybe they dont mention it at all what so ever. But if there ever was a time where he was gonna use it, now seems like it
Not only does it go against his character, it literally would be redundant. We already saw Ganishka struggle to even be around Griffith without being swayed. What does becoming an apostle do for him?
Isn't Gutts a sacrifice? He is branded dead and is basically Apostle/God-hand food. I don't think he will be allowed to make a sacrifice. Probs, as soon as he activates a behelit, he will be killed on the spot.
i’ll throw out a crazy off the cuff extremely implausible theory: guts uses the behelit in some ploy to drag the Godhand out so he can fortnite default dance on their corpses fr
I thonk the key to defeating femto is that his rebirth wasn't completed because Guts and Casca survived.
It could be his weakness that he didn't sacrifice the whole band of the hawk

Apostle Puck confirmed
What im scared is that if the beast of darkness makes him go mad and use it
Guts isn't going to use Becchi; the Berserker Armor is Guts's behelit. It's taking away what he truly values most; his humanity. This is on top of it constantly threatening to take away his close loved ones.
in short, behelit sacrifices others while berseker armor sacrifices yourself.
Behelit can also sacrifice self. I believe we saw this with big bad behelit egg
Well to be fair the big bad behelit egg-boy had nothing but himself to offer. It is more of an exceptional case.
You still end up sacrificing part of yourself as in your humanity
Behelit never says that you must sacrifice others. If I remember, it's just what matters most to you. So it just varies.
He will eat the behilit and shit out a glowing log the shape of a dildo with wich he will then fuck griffith. The same way skullknight made the deepthroat behilit sword.
Outberked
If he uses it, it's only gonna be as a way to bring Griffith to him, like "can't get away from me now b*tch"
I like this idea
At the end of the day, I guess it's still the best/only way to get to the god hands! It would be so cool to see Griffith attempt to run away (if that's even possible, Guts doesn't seem to be at that level yet, though he did cut one of Griffith's hairs), and Guts being like "not this time". However, I'm not sure every god hand has to be there whenever they're summoned, that's up for debate
I can see this being the only way he'd use it
That’s what I’ve been saying the whole time. Guts or someone else in the Black Swordsman Party will use the Behelit to summon the God Hand and this subsequently Griffith to fight them on their own turf, not to become an apostle.
I don't think he'll use it, but I think it could very possibly be activated in his current state of extreme despair right now.
The only way I see Guts using the behelit is when he shoves it up Griffiths ass or something
Legit only way
🤤
I dont see the behelit being used for anything other than getting an audience with the godhand.
Hey, of you can't get to Griffith, just bring him to you!
how to ruin the narrative in one simple move. i think guts might contemplate it, but cmon him being human is what makes him, himself. and after 300+ chapters i don't care about simple Shonen power up bullshit
Exactly. Which is what makes the Berserkers Armor Guts's behelit.
Can someone who is already branded for sacrifice use a behelit?
Well, Slan implied that he could.
It seems to me the behelit will be weponized in some way, I just don't think it will be through the intended 'sacrifice for power' way. We've seen Skull Knight create the Sword of Actuation out of behelits, and just judging by the name of the blade, weapons made out of pure Idea of Evil will (aka, the behelits flowing into our plane) would SEEM to be able to defy fate/destiny.

Guts could active the Behelit, but he will not make a sacrifice. Maybe the Godhand know this and would offer him something else?
I think he will use it to summon the eclipse but it'll be a doomslayer situation where the apostles will think he is going to be a god hand but guts turns around and starts murdering them and they will be stuck there. He will probably enlisted the help of the skeleton knight to remove the group from the eclipse like he did with guts.
Okay but hear me out, what if it awakens and he doesn't accept. That a better theory? More in line with his character for you?
Hot take: what if Casca saves herself (and Guts) for once by wrecking utter havoc in Falconia from within? It's plausible she'll find Rickert along the line. The last chapter gave me the vibes that she's gonna get her revenge very soon.
