How come you never see a jacked guy with a brand of sacrifice tattoo?

I’ve read Berserk, really liked it, and you see a ton of people at the gym with these tattoos but they’re always skinny fat, just fat, or like anorexic skinny.

because that tattoo is cringe while dedication to lifting isn’t

it is an interesting phenomenon. i think its because berserk is the most popular manga of all time, so naturally its going to attract retarded normalfaggots that havent even read it and dont know Gattsu got gaped 'n raped by BBC

wouldn't it be funny if we actually sacrificed them?

>>76393532 (OP)
bro I love berserk but this tattoo is literally a tramp stamp I cringe so hard every time I see it

It's gay

>>76393532 (OP)
Tattoos are always gay. Just lift while listening to bands like battle beast or beast in black, or hell all of the berserk soundtracks each have some good bangers.

>>76393539
>>76393543
>>76393567
this, this pencilneck guy pretending to be le epic Gatsu is fucking cringe what an absolute niggerfaggot
Also kek at all the whores w this tat, thinking they are unique and based

>>76393532 (OP)
in general, you rarely see jacked guys at the gym since most people are natty
so finding a jacked guy + niche tattoo is kind of a hard combo
you're better off looking online where it's easier to find jacked people

>>76393532 (OP)
Tattoos are for inferior slaves and posers

>>76393543

>>76393603
>roid tranny has tatts
This right here >>76393618

>>76393624
not really. its clearly the most popular. normalfags that dont even like anime or manga know about it. its entered the common culture

>>76393646
It’s up there but it’s not above Naruto, Dragon Ball, or Attack on Titan

>>76393643
you wouldn't say this to his face
keep seething on 4chan because this is the only place where you can vent off your small dick frustration

>>76393646
you might get that impression browsing tiktok. Pokemon and dragon ball has to be more popular

>brand of sacrifice
just checked it out on youtube and it's absolute dogshit
one of those early 10s -core poser faggot bands
unbearable
if you're getting a band tattoo at least listen to good music

>>76393665
I’m pretty sure the band is just named after whatever that thing in the manga is. These people don’t have it because of the band.

>>76393646
>clearly the most popular
Idk man, like, more popular than Dragon Ball??? Naruto???? really?

Don't get me wrong, it's popular, but, THE MOST popular??? no shot.

>>76393532 (OP)
here ill re word your question in a similar light to answer it
>why does a hobby that require you to sit on your ass and jack off all day have so many fat people?
does that answer your question?
Why would someone who actually has a live sit down and take any time out of their day ti binge read/watch manga or anime?
By the time they get home for the day they probably wanna go to bed or meal prep then sleep

>>76393618
jew

>>76393748
anime and manga is already viewed as a hobby full of adult-babies on and off the internet no matter what the gender. What do you honestly expect?

>>76393532 (OP)
nerds don't lift, lifters don't read

>>76393891
>tfw I read
I'm not really fit though. One day I may become fitlit

Because usually only people with low powerlevel have anime tattoos. Guys with big ones effectively hide them, as talking about your hobbies with normalfags is a waste of time; they are essentially living in two different worlds.

>>76393913
Tattoos are cringe and the real power move is to never have any.

>>76393729
most people these days wouldn't be able to name a single character from dragon ball aside from vegeta and son goku
most people that know naruto are in their 30s
berserk might be quite literally the most popular in the age bracket that also goes most to the gym (16-26)

>>76393913
not true if you're attractive, I'm chad-lite with zero two tattoo on my biceps, girls like it and often ask me about where is this character from and shit and listen to my ditf & evangelion rambles

>>76393618
Yep. If you aren’t a pirate, prostitute, prisoner, slave, soldier, gang member or in organized crime, islander or native, completed an iron man or competed in the Olympics you’re just a jackass who paid someone to draw on you.

>>76394109

>>76394151
the earliest intact tattoos were found on europeans. you jew adjacent subhuman

>>76394146
i'm not the same person that initially said that, i'm just saying i can see how berserk can be described as the most popular current gen anime, not all time

>>76394159
we had tattoos and shiet

>>76394174
oy vey, you sure showed me

>>76394109
yeah but you had to earn those tattoos same as today. even islanders dont really just get tattoos like that anon said, you have to earn them.

uhhh sorry but I'm straight so I prefer HNK when it comes down to muscular dude punch things tranimes

I have never seen anyone with that tattoo, but then again, I don't hang out with weebs.

You never went to prison
Going to prison for beating a woman or getting into a fight at Popeyes is not admirable
Going to prison because you dropped 50 rebbes is different
But you ain’t going to prison for that you go because you’re subhuman trash.

>>76393657
sound likes what a woman would say faggo

>>76393665
Do you suck your dad’s dick with that mouth?

Not only do you not know what Berzerk is, but you’re knocking one of the best lifting bands of all time.

>>76393926
the most popular manga by a country mile is one piece. the most well known is dragon ball.

>>76394970
past the age of sail tattoos are only good for identifying life long criminals and trashy retard normies

>>76395376
Pokemon is probably more known than dragon ball

Never got these faggots? You're literally getting branded to be sodomized by demons forever thanks to a sacrifice after you die in context of the manga. Why not get a fucking dragonslayer tat instead of you need a zerk related cringe tat

>>76393532 (OP)
I hate that fucking tattoo. Every stupid cunt thinks they're casca and they always get this shitty tattoo like they think it makes them cool or something

>>76393650
>>76393662
those are mostly known for their animes and nobody cares about their manga, while for Berserk the manga is what people talk about. But One Piece still has it beat

I'm about to buy myself a berserk shirt so I can attract the goth and anime girls at my gym, I haven't really read the manga or watched the anime but I just like guts and the hardstyle songs that came with it.

Tattoos are for pussies.

Because most weebs only workout to look like their favorite anime characters and fail to realize that real life people can’t look like most anime characters naturally. Looking even slightly like Guts or Goku would take a lifetime of commitment that a Weeb isn’t prepared for. Most weebs use anime/manga as escapism as is thus slightly to very detached from reality and how basic things like gaining muscles and losing fat works in reality. I have meet dudes online that think they can look like Toji from JJK by just lifting 1 year. It’s easy to get a branded tattoo, it’s harder to count calories and doing cardio.

I always assumed this Pic was Sam hyde in a wig but I'm starting to think it is not

>>76393532 (OP)
1. because they want to be edgy and brooding and mysterious, like guts
2. because they want to be a special snowflake
3. because they identify with the themes of the manga, i.e. no matter how dismal things might be, if you persevere you can overcome and survive, which they would like to express through branding themselves with the very symbol that embodies those themes
4. they do it for social brownie points (i.e. OH WOW YOU'RE A FAN OF THE POPULAR MANGA BERSERK!!! I LOVE BERSERK!!!!!!)

not to pull a no true scotsman here, but I think it's safe to say that most people who are fans and have actually read berserk would not get this sort of tattoo on themselves, mostly because getting a tattoo is a very egocentric thing to do, and you almost always have some ulterior motive for plastering yourself with one, rather than simply using it to express your interest in the source material.

The brand of sacrifice is a brand that you a a bitch of demons. Guts himself would be very happy to get rid of it. The brand was put against his will. It would stand to reason then even if you like berserk you very personality would be more akin to a bhelit user than guts himself.

>>76393532 (OP)
I’m not super huge, but berserk was definitely a large inspo for my fitness journey. I have a hard time bulking so I’m just kinda stuck like this, chicks dig it tho

>>76393532 (OP)
Berserk is low vibration slop for doomer faggots. Being jacked requires high thumos.

Summary of Berserk:
Once upon a time, there was this guy named Gambino, and he was a mercenary. He found a young boy on the battlefield, and raised him like his own, but he was a piece of shit, and abused this kid growing up in various ways, including selling him as a sex slave to a nigger. That kid was named Guts, and he accidentally killed Gambino, which effectively exiled him from their group. After getting mauled by wolves, he wandered the land as a sword for hire. One day, a fagboy twink named Griffith noticed how cool Guts was, and he convinced him to join his group, the Band of the Hawk. Griffith and Guts became very close, which made his tsundere fangirl Casca big mad.

They fought in battles and were an unstoppable force, which garnered the attention of royalty, and earned them a lucrative position as royal guardsmen, and Griffith became involved in the royal court. Some shit goes down, and ultimately, Griffith seduces and rapes the king's daughter, for which he is summarily stripped of his position and thrown into a dank dungeon somewhere. Even though Guts left the group around this time, he comes back to help his friends spring Griffith from the joint, but Griffith isn't happy to be a shell of his former self (he was tortured beyond recognition), so he wishes upon his red egg talisman and summons the Satanic Panic, who make him into an edgy bat god, but only in exchange for allowing demons to slaughter all his friends. He also rapes Casca after she and Guts fell in love, which makes Guts big mad and hell bent on revenge.

Some more shit goes down; Guts travels the land with the express purpose of murdering demons; Casca is a vegetable because post rape PTSD; some new party members are added, each with their own fucked up problems and shit, but also with unique abilities; they travel to some gay island to fix Casca's brain; meanwhile Griffith and his demons are merging the spirit realm and the physical realm, and building his dream kingdom of Falconia.

It’s deathcore. Of course it all sounds the same. That’s the point you dolt . The more consistent the better.
Literally all I care about is finding the heavy breakdowns to hit PRs to.

I don't have any tats but if I had to get a berserk tat it would be a behlit

>>76393532 (OP)
I've seen like 3 different guys recently with brand tattoos, 2 of them pajeets though, yeah I live in Canada.

All anime tats are gay unless it's one of Dragon Ball

>>76393532 (OP)
It's the mark of sacrifice-a symbol reminding Guts of the brutal betrayal he endured and a reminder that he basically will never have a peaceful life.

It's carries a lot of negative energies so I don't want to put something like that permanently in my body

>>76398920
its not a reminder he will never have a peaceful life.. its a mark of death.

this is more obvious earlier on in the manga but its a brand that indicates to demons that he is a sacrifice. they (and consequnetly guts) can feel the 'energy' or whatever and are drawn to it as well.

brand as a reminder is a thing niggers do.. Miura is not a nigger

>>76393532 (OP)

I'm watching the 1997 anime, reached episode 16-17 and I don't see the hype
For obvious reasons I won't read any more of this thread

>>76393532 (OP)
I got a Berserk brand of sacrifice more than 10 years ago before it really blew up in popularity, for years nobody but weeaboos or guys in comic book and hobby shops recognized it.
Now its mainstream and zoomers notice it all the time and you can buy Berserk merchandise and t-shirts at the mall which is weird because it hasn't had an anime or game in like 9 years and the manga has been basically dead and over since 2021, all these new fans started reading it after Miura died.

>>76399281
The hype is on the last episodes otherwise it's pretty slow build up

>>76393532 (OP)
>Demon sacrifices

>>76393532 (OP)
The only person I've ever met with the brand happened to also be the most jacked person I've met. He's a 5'8 competitive body builder in St Louis Missouri working at a gym in town. Always super nice. Black guy. I love Berserk and I've read the Manga twice, but I can't help but assume that everyone who gets this tattoo is advertising that they were raped and/or cuckholded just like Guts-kun (especially if they are jacked).

>>76393532 (OP)
Berserk goes to shit as soon as it goes into the supernatural fairy bullshit. It should have remained a low fantasy medieval story

>>76396354
nta but thanks anon, I've been thinking I should finally find what all that fuss is about.
I dismissed the whole series due to its early fans being the most obnoxious spergs in the scene, but let's see if it's time to change my mind.

>>76400021
>Berserk goes to shit as soon as it goes into the supernatural fairy bullshit
The first page of the first chapter starts with Guts having sex with a woman that transforms into a Medusa demons
A couple of pages later he befriends a little fairy dude shaped and named after the elf (pre-Tolkien revisionism elf mind you) of Midsummer's Night Dream
The first antagonist is a lizard man
The second antagonist is a slug man
A dozen chapters into the childhood flashback there's a gian immortal man that transforms into a giant goat demons with wings
What fucking manga have you read?

>>76393532 (OP)
Because berserk is for fat nerds and troons, just like all tr/a/nime.

The mindset that makes you get a neck tattoo on impulse isn't conducive to putting in years of dedication to build an amazing physique.
One of the most jacked guys on /plg/ is a former addict who has Asuka plushies all over his room and even a few in his car.

>>76397376
The brand and overall being marked for sacrifice is part of the greater theme in Berserk of persisting in a ruined world. Even the Donovan stuff, Guts being born from a hanging woman, all that is related to it. I think neck tattoos are dumb but you're oversimplifying to absurdity.

>>76399281
The last 8 episodes are where a lot of the characterization occurs. Casca, Guts and Griffith are pretty deep characters. The anime is more like a Shakespeare tragedy that functions as a trailer for the manga. I like the anime and manga.

>>76399281
If you ever watch Evangelion it has a similar pacing. A lot of the cool stuff happens in the last 8 episodes + End Of Evangelion but when you rewatch all the stuff in the first 16 episodes becomes very important and well thought out.
Evangelion is definitely way better than the Berserk anime, it even has some similar themes.

The movies are the same story arc in the old anime aside from some changes and the 2016 anime is really bad adaptation and it's not even complete just one arc.

the movies were good though but i think i prefer the old anime.

>How come you never see a jacked guy with a brand of sacrifice tattoo?
Anon how often do you actually see people with that specific tattoo? Only a small percentage of people lift weights seriously, the number of them who are berserk fans and want that tattoo are even smaller. If you go to the same gym every day for a year even seeing a handful of people with that tattoo would be unusual.

Why would anyone self-respecting

a) get a fucking tattoo at all
b) get one that basically says "cuck"

Have to backpedal a bit, the tone totally changed when it entered a flashback story arc of the protagonist's mercenary days; now it's quite an enjoyable read.

There's one giganigga at my gym who has the brand of sacrifice.
He is part of our national American football team and lifts heavy as fuck.

You might as well ask why there are more dyels on this earth than people who actually lift. This is a dumb question that didn't need a thread with a whole discussion on it.

>>76408322
i didnt want to be the geek here but the tattoo implies the person already went through the ritual and survived it.
