How derivative is Berserk?

Guts is based on a historical figure, but yeah most anime at the time was ripping off movies.
Now that american movies suck the japanese are stuck making slice of life romcoms until the end of time.

Evil Dead was in large part parodying things that were already incredibly common tropes in 80s/70s movies.
This is a massive stretch.

Allegedly Gots von Berlichingen but Miura denied that was the case. I mean even if that were the case it's a superficial similarity at best.

Like if Miura was ripping off anyone, we can go all the way back to Gustav Dore *at least*

Götz von Berlichingen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Götz_von_Berlichingen
a german knight from the late 1400's to early 1500's who got his hand blown off and had a rather advanced prosthetic made for him that he could write and fight with.
He died of old age and was fighting for 40 years or something.

he isn't based on that german merc retard, Miura was always open about his inspirations

Or if we want examples more proximate to when Miura was drawing berserk at first:
The Apostles are really just Cenobytes from Hellraiser that are in the MC Esher realm from Labyrinth.
This is just off the top of my head for some more obvious influences.

There's a lot of better examples, I don't know why whoever made this went so far to look for Evil Dead references Specifically.

well, he claimed that it was a strange coincidence that he heard about fairly early into his work
its more like an unintentional matchup where art accidently imitated life.

>>723106575
the evil dead angle is a massive overreach.
as people said it itself was drawing from a lot of pre-existing tropes Miura would have already come across.

I think the most bullshit claim would be anything about body poses and angles of weapons.
Miura distinguished himself by coming up with his own shit, most of which doesn't really have anything you could point to as a reference.
It simply is.
But some shit universally looks good and gets repeated.

>>723106875
dont forget how it invented portals, crucifixion poses, elaborate armor themed around skulls, prisoner restraints, and hair turning white from stress.

>ever since zoomers discovered Berserk we were never able to have a good berserk thread again because 4chan is populated by terminally online contrarians that must hate on anything that gets even slightly populat with normalfags

I mean it doesn't help that Berserk has been totally off the rails for like 20 years.

Is nu-Berserk done already? I figured it would take them ages to end the story.

he was known as Gotz of the iron hand, not gotfried.

it doesnt help that berserk basically went the same way Hajime no Ippo has going...
damn Ippo should have gotten something like a more technical "Punch Out" game, now that I think of it.
Not the nintendo wii version, but something more pixelated and older like the SNES version.

Imagine a multiplayer where you can fuck around as Aoki and ragebait people, or terrify noobs as Mashiba.

Not yet but it feels like its 95% there.
Guts is about to get a new powerup and then will probably have his final showdown with Griffith and thats it
