The dark world of Berserk is so featured in games from From Software that video game players continue to find Easter eggs through the latest post, Elden Ring. With items like Guts’ Dragon Slayer and the malicious brand making their way into the “Soulsborne” games made by From, a fan has gone the extra mile by creating artwork depicting Black Swordsman Guts diving into the video game world to competing. against one of the greatest chiefs of the Elden Ring.
Godrick the Grafted is one of the earliest great bosses Elden Ring, who is a member of royals who took the opportunity to increase his power by grafting body parts from both humans and animals, and spoiling his body to the point where he seems to look far from any ordinary human navigating in Limgrave . While not exactly an apostle, Godrick would fit right into some of the scary creatures that Guts has fought against through Kentaro Miura’s epic franchise. With Miura’s passing last year, the future of Berserk’s manga is in the air as the publishers at Young Animal have not yet announced whether the series is over or whether Miura’s assistants will take over.
Reddit user HSTHE shared this impressive fan art from a Japanese artist and imagined what a fight between Guts and Godrick might look like given that the two characters definitely look like they were born from the same universe, in part thanks to Berserk’s influence on Elden Ring’s universe:

Elden Ring is easily the most popular video game from From Software to date, with the latest “Soulsborne” game already surpassing twelve million units. With the creator of Elden Ring stating that the Two Fingers world will “expand beyond the gaming realm”, fans are wondering if we’re ready to see this From Software game become a TV series and / or movie in the future. With George RR Martin off Game of Thrones fame responsible for some of the writing in this video game, it can certainly be translated to other media.
What do you think of this brutal crossover art? Do you think the Guts could beat Godrick in a fight? Feel free to tell us in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk about anything that has to do with comics, anime and the Band of the Hawks world.
