“You demons will not have his soul” is unironically one of the nicest things anyone could do for guts
Honestly, yeah. Im sure Guts would feel honor that someone he didnt know respect and understand his rage would fights demons for his soul safety would give him a bit peace.
@@doctorwho3708i wonder how the story would of been if Guts found dimitri instead of Griffith... The better king
@its_sisha_not_chair505 A whole lot of things would change. Since one, Guts wouldn't have met the mercenary group, so he wouldn't know them even if they go through the same events. But Guts would be enlisted as a knight for Dimitri country and assuming this happen during the war, he would have been on the Front lines as one of his best soldiers. And if this after the war, then Guts would have been joining Dimitri during the hunt against TWSITD(Those who Slither in the Dark) as assuming Hapi would have inform Dimitri of their existence and what they did. Guts wouldn't have demons chasing him at all and be a 'normal' soldier under a King who is Mad, but kind.
I can imagine Goro vs Machamp being like that if Goro won. Because of Goro’s honor and he will show respect to those he deems worthy. He’d probably give Machamp his respect for the fight he put up and respect even more that he fought, faced death and died like a warrior.
It's guts. You gotta give that man the respect he deserves even at death.
Guts vs Nightmare: **They both have big swords** Guts vs Dimitri: **They both have very tragic backstories and one eye**
Man I'm not the only one who remembers the good ol days, the first time I was introduced to berserk that nightmare vs guts video
@@nathanielhamer5307 Same, I was just 12 then and probably not ready for a story like Berserk.
And are betrayed by white haired people
And the rage, don't forget the rage.
😂
Shattered weapon, battered body, and that man immediately continued on to fight to protect Guts's soul. Mad respect.
And God's hand will realize, they aren't the boss fight. Dimitri is the boss fight
Definitely.
If anything, the broken weapon gives the Demons a chance to run... If he still had a weapon, there is no stopping this man from killing every last one of them.
@@StompigatesYT He can probably do something to them, not sure if he can win, but his unaugmented ancestors killed divine dragons which are the basically the tier below gods in fire emblems lore.
@@StompigatesYT So Dimitri just needs to bring his teacher along and then they'll maybe have a chance.
"so we're both shackled to the dead. You foul beasts will not have his soul!" I might've been a little salty about Guts dying, but seeing that was honestly seriously wholesome.
*(YEAH!!!!!)*
For what? Against the Apostles? The spear dude is lost. Means it was all for nothing.
Since we’re seeing Guts return, let’s have a moment of silence for Kentaro Miura, the man who gave us Berserk. RIP sir 🫡

Everyone wants to Kill Griffith but no one wants to lift a Heavy Ass sword to do it
Just let Dimitri in the world he would mop it up pretty fast
More like a heap of raw iron but still…
It's a massive heap of iron that barely counts as a sword
Just a couple slaps might do the job.
What’re you on about, there’s people training to specifically lift that heavy sword
One thing I loved about this fight is that Dimitri used Areadbhar 20 times on screen, and in FE3H, the max use count before repairing is 20 uses! Then Guts breaks it! So amazing, love the work you guys put into these fights
Good catch!
OH that’s awesome!!!
Mad respect to Demitri for immediately going on to fight demons and protect Guts's soul.
And will be destroyed by the Apostles. So. Nice thing to do. For nothing.
@@blackheartv Wah waahh wahhh
guts got best death in death battle history. not dismembered, not atomized, just died standing with sword held high. that is what we call respect.
Sword held middle. Sorry; fencing joke. That stance is middle guard/plow. High guard is held about the head. Yes, yes, if you have to explain the joke....
@@robinthrush9672 i was not aware it was a term. you learn something every now and then.
Every sword fight seems to end with respect. Afro vs Jack, Sliver Samurai vs Shredder etc.
@@T.Gundham i dunno, she-ra vs wonder woman ended in bisection and it was the only sword duel i've seen before that point.
@@T.Gundham also, dunno which death battle you watched, but one was sliced to ribbons, one beheaded and then skull crushed. i mean fighters rarely left intact after their loss and those were not good example to add to the pool. even aang vs edward was messy
I gotta give mad respect to Dimitri for refusing to let the demons come for Guts even after he died in the fight.
It was the best way they could have shown the True level of Honor Dimitri holds as a knight even when he is walking a path of "evil".
I wonder if that means that Guts' Rage will be a voice in his mind now. Imagine the presence that could be offered as Dimitri can tap into even more Berserker rage, amped by Guts' psychosis.
Too bad Dimitri will be ABSOLUTLEY be eaten by the Apostles as he doesn't have Gut's charm as this is COSMIC magic, not Human.
Honestly one of the most based storylines in Death Battle fight.
@@XSilver_WaterX That was a nice move from Dimitri, but no way he beat the Godhand 😅
I didn't want Guts to lose, but MAN was that a good fight and ending
Oh definitely, and Dimitri had earned my respect, and both soldiers are ABSOLUTE LEGENDS!
@@RedLSBtheTitaniumStormbro commented twice
@@JK27199 Who, me or Tyrh?
Dimitri's "You demons will NOT have his soul" hit me harder than it has any right to Him running off laughing maniacally to fight For Guts is just the most wholesome badass moment in all of DB
He said beasts not demons
And will be destroyed. So. All his effort will be for nothing.
@@blackheartv Wahhh
I’m not even upset at this result. The fact that Dimitri said “You can’t have his soul” is why I’m not upset
"You foul beast, will not have his soul!."
Still wish he won though.
I am. As a huge fan of both media properties, Dee wasn’t scaled right.
GREAT DEATH BATTLE,
That’s what softened the blow for me too. As much as I wanted to see Guts victorious, I am glad that even after that battle, Dimitri is a good enough lad to keep Guts safe from the demons after him. He gonna win!
I love how Dimitri respects Guts enough to kill demons for him.
Agreed, they both lost many comrades who were dear to them and stop at nothing in order to avenge them, so of course Dimitri relates to Guts and respects him since they pretty much 2 threads in the same stitch
There is no exception for a demons in killing every last of them
It will be light work for him so he has enough time on his schedule for it
@@gameuniverse5973Jesus, you really are wanking Dimitri and trashing guts every where you go 😂
@@gameuniverse5973Dimitri would get murdered with ease by zodd or the god hand. Griffith only keep guts alive cuz he loves him, în his twisted and disgusting way. And he enjoys seeing guts suffering. Meanwhile griffith has no connection with Dimitri, he would instantly kill him with ease.
As much as I'd wanted Guts to win, this death battle could've easily been shortened to 30 seconds when you factor in Fire Emblem's weapon triangle.
Counter point though: Three Houses doesn’t have weapon triangles. Your comment is still hilarious though.
@@colemando0012 but Three Hopes, which is sited multiple time in the video, does
Why would fire emblem's weapon triangle apply to Guts? Guts has shown time and time again his swordsmanship is simply better then masters of more abstract weapons like chakrams or whips. Guts can also take on hundreds of troops solo. I will admit Demitri took this fight when someone plays through Fire Emblem three house's as Demitri versus 100 units on his own.
@@jamesmacklin1495 well you see the weapon triangle is like rock paper scissors. Swords beat Axes, Axes beat Lances, and most important for this Lances beat Swords. Therefore Dimitri would have an extra hit % and attack power against Guts.
@@colemando0012 Actually, it's present in the various "breaker" skills, which actually makes it *less* ambiguous than usual. It's no longer simply a matter of how things work in the world, it's actual training that Dmitri has received.
So I've heard Dimitri spends all 20 points of durability in the animation so I'll try to count how many times he attacks with his spear or glaive or whatever Areadbhar is. Ignoring the intro and I'll presume attacks blocked with the weapon don't spend durability (ironically enough) And neither do attacks that whiff so 15:17 and similar situations are ignored. subtract 1 (15:20) Tempest Lance so subtract 5 (15:24) subtract 1 (15:44) subtract 1 (15:54) subtract 1 (16:05) Frozen Lance so subtract 4 (16:12) Frame by frame counts 6 clashes for (16:57) and my ears count about 2 more offscreen subtract 1 (17:02) subtract 1 (17:09) Atrocity so subtract 4 (17:19) So if you count the Clash Rush as one turn of attacking then the math checks out. Well Done.
Actually, in Three Hopes you can upgrade it to 25 durability, so if you count the clash as six it still works
@@christopherrowley1274 Never played that game so thanks for that tidbit.
@@christopherrowley1274I'm pretty sure you can upgrade to at least 70 in Three Hopes, but it's been a while since I played.
You can in fact upgrade Areadbhar to 570 durability (after being unleashed) in Three Hopes, but also in that game only combat arts and magic (if he's in Holy/Dark Knight, e.g. for class mastery or healing utility) can deplete durability, so the durability system is very different there!
You know, this was probably the coolest end to a Death Battle. One dies on his feet, and the other has enough respect for him to fight on his behalf. That's just really cool.
Indeed
Yeah. I was a little upset my man Guts lost but Demitri was a worthy opponent and that was a great ending
I can imagine Goro vs Machamp being like that if Goro won. He’d probably give Machamp his respect for the fight he put up and he died like a true warrior.
Jojo vs Tanjiro had a wholesome ending. Same with SpongeBob vs Aquaman (kind of...).
Even cooler as a tribute if you think about how the pose mirrors his dueling moment with Griffith, even including the part about breaking his foe's weapon before stopping his swing.
We can all agree that no matter what, Guts went out as a badass...
Aye
Agreed
And best thing is, he is just a man
He died standing up. What. Is more manly than that...
The dude's got no magical skills, but is able to stand his ground against demons that can cast fking magic. Guts is a beast in a weight class of his own.
That ending made me tear up. Honestly, Guts should've met someone like Dimitri instead of Griffith. Dimitri don't even know Guts but are willing to protect his soul from demons out of respect and compassion. Dimitri won
Honestly, if Guts met Dimitri, he would have Met Byleth, which would be a Damn BOON for him
@John-Stark If Guts met Byleth, they'd be the unstoppable mercenary duo.
Aaand Dimitri dies by the hand of the Apostles.
This DEATH BATTLE is dedicated to the memory of Kentaro Miura, the creator of Berserk. He passed away nearly a year before this episode was completed, may his soul finally be freed in peace and badassery.
*(YEAH!!!!!)*
Lame.
I’m glad Dimitri technically didn’t land the killing blow. The Black Swordsman literally fought until the very end.
But that's like saying my actions of injuring someone to near death and them losing blood isn't my fault
@@Tuturial464well I mean he's kind of right. The demons showing up and causing his mark to bleed let out his last drop of blood.
@@Tuturial464 you'd be the reason they lost blood but not the reason they died 👍
Ah the collateral defense. I didn't him him, "the bullets and the fall killed him."
Died like Benkei, died while standing on his feet and didn’t fall
I know nothing about fire emblem, but that boy Dimitri gained my respect. Jumped into action to save Guts soul, without even knowing the guy, quite honorable.
He also earned my respect, and Dimitri protecting Guts soul is definitely nice of him, even if they don't know each other.
Dimitri’s completely nuts, but at the heart of him is still an honorable warrior prince.
dimitri fought zodd at the end if you look at the shadow
@@DonQuixote-_- the real question is could he actually beat zodd
@@vortiger7375Yes - Dmitri can actually tank demons of similar power and size to Zodd in Fire Emblem. He even managed to kill his version of Griffeth.
guts stopping his sword before it reached dmitri and dmitri protecting guts from the demons from taking his soul is a great ending! thank you for this battle guys!!!
YEAH!
Breaking a weapon is questionable at best
@@Tuturial464Dimitri just used up all the durability.
i dont think Guts intentionally pulled the blow. i think that him losing the literal last drops of blood in his body caused him to instantly stop and lock in place.
@@Liberator1917Im pretty sure the momentum would still cause it to fall onto Dimitri.
My favorite part about the fight is how both of them get so bloody and messed up. In most death battles, the fighters usually don't have any visual damage to them until the final blow. However, in this fight you can see both Guts and Dimitri get absolutely f**ked up. It shows how neither of them is invincible and feels every bit of pain, only pushing through it because they need to keep fighting on until only one of them is left standing. (Well, technically both of them were standing at the end) It's such an amazing detail and also the reason why I like these more low power level fights rather than seeing two universe busters throw each other around planets and stuff. Props to everyone who worked on this episode. It's probably the best one ever!
Yeah that's great Part of me wishes they was more detail to the damage, like one of them loses a few fingers for example. But that's more of a nitpick than anything else, and what was shown in the fight is still pretty great.
Goro vs Machamp bro. Both looked beaten up at a point.
Dimitri is forced to fight an opponent he has no desire to fight, and vows to avenge his death by slaughtering his literal demons controlling him. Holy crap that is badass.
And completely in character. Dimitri is simply epic
What exactly was that shadow that Dimitri went to fight? I am super curious and sure it will make the fight more awesome.
@@JakeSmith-mq5dchis arch nemesis Zodd, a demon swordsman that can turn into a Manticore like monster!
@@JakeSmith-mq5dc Guts's sacrifice mark on his neck makes demons follow him around and a bunch show up to drag him to hell when he dies
Not to mention noble.
Fun fact, Dimitri's lance broke after exactly 20 uses (combat arts cost extra uses in fire emblem)
That's a cool detail to notice
They've made a habit of actually counting that stuff. Even back in Robocop vs Terminator, the made sure RoboCop's firearm used exactly 50 rounds. It's a small detail, but if a few people notice it then they did their job well.
@@edsl39God damn that’s awesome
It's a twig to Dragonslayer and Gut's wins each and every time.
@@bladeswillxbleedyou dropped your salt shaker.
No wonder Guts lost, Dimitri had the weapon triangle advantage
I am a Berserk fan and this Death Battle is beyond amazing. I especially loved how Dimitri honored Guts by fighting the Demons on his behalf. Best Death Battle ever. Edit: Wow. Over 400 likes? I am beyond flattered. Thank you to all those amazing people!!!!
He is very noble in the game, his best friend describes why she become some mad saying “he has so much compassion to the people around him that he doesn’t forgive himself if they die” that is why he is so obsessed with death
is there a completely okay with Dimitri I was kind of expecting a little bit of saltiness for Guts lost against to someone who doesn't fight big Monsters everyday as well as basically like the most strongest person you can't defeat
@@hosurosh4846 I never actually played alot of Fire Emblem but I know it has alot of great stuff :D!!!
@@simounobrien9096like you I am a berserk fan but they nerfed Dimitry. Dimitry is strong enough to kill guniska in siba form
@@KisanSaha-gl3rn I am pretty sure despite that, I don't think Guts stood a chance
Dimitri fighting off the Apostles from taking Guts' soul is very in character
As a berserk fan that Don't even know who Dimitri is,God damn he's cool for doing that,
Fun fact, tigers are so strong that they’ve been found standing post mortem. Guts is so hard that he went out like a tiger.
Thanks, Casual Geographic.
housecats can die standing up too
There legs are the reason not really the tiger itself.
The tiger couldn't beat the Blue Lion tho
Came back to see if Bill's statue really was in this battle, you can actually see it in the background at 17:00 during the 2nd bloospill shot, just off to the left. Neato
Yoooo thats crazy
16:32 Hearing 'Avenge us' was haunting and all, But hearing 'yield to me' was so intimidating...
Dimitri on his way to avenge Guts is the most badass thing I have ever seen in this channel
It's definitely among the top of some most *(BADASS)* things that I have seen in all of DEATH BATTLE!
Magneto vs Akira and Demon Slayer vs JoJo, Those two had very similar endings. Magneto I think is the best but Dimitri definitely scaled to that level of badass.
Dimitri shows respect for his fallen opponent (via Dimitri hunting down the demons chasing Guts' corpse offscreen after the fight).
There is only one real reason Dmitri won. He is using a spear while Guts is using a sword.
Ehh, that thing is too big and thick to be called a sword. It is more like a large hunk of iron
Weapon Triangle Advantage
That doesn't really work when you remove game mechanic... or at least not always... especially when spearman is swinging it around widely instead of a tight and controlled combat techniques.
@@TheStilf FE triangle system make senses at least. Not like FGO. If it were to be correct Archer and Caster would have the most advantage before the Melee class can closed in
Wouldn’t Guts’ sword be classified as a lancereaver considering the extra weight, which would make axes more suitable in this triangle?
Long story short, Guts is one of the greatest protagonists ever created.
*(YEAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)*
As a wise redditor said, "This Episode is sponsored by betterhelp, because god knows our combatants need it"
Considering what all of them had been through in canon, especially the more battle scarred,both physically and mentally ones,yeah they definitely need it,though at least they are complete badasses who will not stop fighting,till the end of them,even at the ends of times,even well beyond the grave.
Best advertisement campaign they could have asked for
Reddit humor
I mean Guts is a human in peak physical conditioning and decades of combat experience but yeah. GUTS SHOULD'VE WON BUT AWESOME FIGHT 😎
I hate reddit
Even in death, Guts stands strong and Dimitri honours him by protecting his soul from demons. What a beautiful moment that perfectly sums up both characters.
Not just protect. Avenge.

@@SeiyaTempest not my fault that the phone's only comment somehow showed his comment about the outcome of the fight orz
If you know anything about voice of Boomstick, Chad James you know he’s a huge Berserk fan and loves Guts so seeing him die must’ve broke his heart, you can tell he was pained by the end.
I do, but only recently, like in the past month or so.
Someone once said "There's nothing scarier than a man with nothing to lose."(Or something along those lines) These two are prime examples of that,
If Guts had to go down, I'm glad they did it this way. He yielded to *noone* and stood his ground, even in death. *A legend till the end*
Dimitri shows respect for his fallen opponent (via Dimitri hunting down the demons chasing Guts' corpse offscreen after the fight).
"To each of us falls a task. And all the emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand the line, and we die fighting. It is what we do best. We die standing." - General Sturnn in Dawn of War: Winter Assault. I can't think of any other quote that better honor and exalts the name of guts. next best thing that this gallant Übermensch rightfully deserves is if the god-emperor of man himself were to deify guts as *THE* patron saint of the guard right next to Ollanius Pius
I'll admit that I hate that Guts didn't win, but the way he went out makes too much sense. Plus, seeing Dmitri uphold Guts' hunt of the unholy is truly badass.
I know right. And I love how they actually properly showcased his superior speed 'n tactics too, seeing as how he actually dominated in the fight up until he took his first real wound. Being human, it's bloody difficult to operate at one's max potential when stabbed even just once, so he gets real props for fighting so well for as long as he did.
I know nothing about Berserk, but know a lot about fire emblem 3 houses, and Dimitri is my favorite character for being unyielding and relentless towards his haunted self, so I was rooting for Dimitri. But after watching Gut’s analysis I was thinking “Oh, Guts will win this for sure 😔” but damn…. I’m glad I stuck it out. And I’m glad to see Dimitri show respect to Guts by carrying on his purpose 🫡
People forget that the berserk armor only keeps guts alive, and it only keeps him alive if guts has blood. Meaning that by the end of this death Battle guts literally ran out of all the blood in his body.
the "fight until the last drop of blood" doesn't mean the armor run using guts's blood, it means that it would work until the last bit of life has been used, refusing to acknowledge any damage, more like a puppet being forced to dance until it gets completely broken. what is even darker. it means guts's body was literally too destroyed to keep working
@@pandemiastyle-zr6mb That's one thing I never really got about the armor. I can see how it can use the spikes to hold broken bones together, but I don't think metal spikes are a great solution to a broken artery or damaged organs.
How about guts vs aldo the red from wanderer from y's? That is a great match up.
@@pandemiastyle-zr6mbHow about guts vs aldo the red from wanderer from y's? That is a great match up.
Wait then how was his mark able to bleed after he died
Not gonna lie, the ending was kinda wholesome. Even though he just fought to the death with someone, Dimitri still wasn't going to let demons claim his soul.
Just like the spotlight episodes shining the light on each of the two separately, they’ve had their fair share of tragedies throughout their life. They’ve lost a lot and can lose even more. And as a Dimitri fan, i’m glad he was paired with a relatable opponent than I ever thought possible
I can imagine Goro vs Machamp being like that if Goro won. He’d probably give Machamp his respect for the fight he put up and respect even more that he fought, faced death and died like a warrior.
even after Dimitri has been turn into a feral, wrathful beast and horribly corrupted into a berserking blood hungry killer by betrayal. he is always a paladin/knight in shining armor at heart.😔🙏 And a lion king among heroes
@@michaelolmos8257you hit the nail on the head. That is his greatest trait his kindness and compassion that even edelgard acknowledges in both crimson flower(verbally)and azure moon (some fans interpreted the last scene as edelgard basically saying "I am too far gone , leave and dont burden yourself with me I will only be a hindrance, go and create a brighter future")
Love these endings where a combatant can lose yet win at the same time. Guts lost, but Dimitri continued his demon hunt for him, and you all know he gave a mad mauling to the god hand! ❤
⚔⚔⚔ SWORDS ⚔⚔⚔
The half circle theory about the black side representing the eclipse and the white representing the azure moon was a way better theory than being basic swords, I'm ngl
Bruh I swear a Smash nerd made this cipher lmao
Yeah the swords representing this mu still doesn't make much sense to me. The half moon would've fit much better.
That make no sense
Is this what I get for adding galaxy chucking to the Wiki? Is this Rina's revenge?
Whether some of us thinks that Guts should've won or Dimitri stomps even harder, we can agree that even though Guts lost, he went out like a boss.
So this was a "boss fight" for Dimitri then?~😏

I find it fitting that Guts didn't die fighting a demon, but a man who became a monster just like he did.
i clicked this video because my names Dimitri and my middle name is scarily Alexander and knew nothing about fire emblem, now i wanna know more XD
You so lucky
Truth be told, when I saw Guts start moving again, I thought he was going to cleave Dimitri in half just like with Knightmare, & the outcome would be explained the same way as before, i.e. Guts is too stubborn to die. Color me pleasantly surprised!
I hope we get more endings like this one. It’s a lot more satisfying than normally heroic characters exploding their opponents into gory viscera
I can imagine Goro vs Machamp being like that if Goro won. Because of Goro’s honor and will give respect to those he seems worthy. He’d probably give Machamp his respect for the fight he put up and respect even more that he fought, faced death and died like a warrior. I know it’s not heroic, but shows respect in death.

@@leecoffill8425😂
Its always way more satisfying to have a actual end to a animation that isn't just Character kills someone then makes a quirky comment
Jonathan vs tanjiro.
You do realize the irony in having a Better Help sponsorship for this fight, right? Right?
Damn especially these two who suffer from depression and midnight crisis
That 100% intentional
They had the same sponsor for Pheonix Force VS Raven, soooo.....
Oh good, I wasn't the only one who noticed!
Especially considering that Better Help is actually an awful service
My personal headcanon is Dimitri rescues Guts' soul, basically revives him and the two go their separate ways with respect toward each other.
technically there's items in fire emblem that can bring someone back as long as they have a soul, like the goddess staff. So if dimitri does indeed protect his soul, guts could come back.
If we're being honest, all Dimitri has to do is protect Guts' body, he'll be back. Hes like Kratos, you cant keep him down.
Guts died standing while still carrying the dragonslayer, what a badass. I'm glad DB gave him that level of respect after a close battle with Dimitri.

Guts died while standing, badass. Dimitri respected Guts and hunts down the demons to avenge Guts even more badass. Also how great is the fight, animation, and music! One of the best this season!
I'll say
Well it's frustrating to say the least because Berserk isn't even finished yet. Griffith has only revealed some of his abilities so there is a lot of unfinished business for the manga. If Guts has to fight Griffith he would need to be stronger.
Dimitri may’ve won but he ain’t meeting a man quite like Guts again. Man’s stood his ground, even after death. Mad respect from the Blue Lions, Guts 🫡
Bro pulled a Benkei
@@infernalhabit1657They downplayed dimitri anyways
I was not expecting this fight to go so hard. Honestly wasn’t hyped for it at first but I got to say this has to be the best death battle of 2023
*Mad* respect to Dmitri, seriously. Battered body, serious blood loss, shattered weapon, and he *still* moves to safeguard this fellow tortured soul from the demons. Gods, just... solid bro move.
Animation was sick
O ho
It was wasn't it, lately they've been lacking horribly in the animation. Maybe I'm spoiled from the Dante vs Bayonetta and Jin vs Ryu battles
Agreeeed

FACTS
I have to give a crazy tribute to Dimitri for refusing to let the demons come and get Gus, even though he died in combat.
Gus the Black Swordsman
Gutstavo Fring
Ah yes, Gus, my favorite character from Breaking Berserk.
Last chance to look at me Griffith
@@UnrealReclaimer🛎️🛎️🛎️🛎️🛎️🛎️
Gotta love when the acting and writing nail each character. But I also love it when an ending leaves the door open for another story. That was an honorable ending, as even though Dimitri won, he respected Guts enough to fight those tormenting him.
That ending was really good. I enjoyed every part of this episode. It's rare to be so satisfied even if the one you're rooting for didn't win.
Technically speaking, Guts is one of the characters that came closest to killing his opponent in the animation, he only lacked a few more drops of blood on his body to do so.
Now that makes me wonder which other losing characters came the closest to winning in the animation.
The only reason why guts lost is he ran out of blood. Also the Berserk armor isn't really meant for protecting the user, it's meant to keep the wearer alive after suffering fatal injuries and to suppress the pain caused by said injuries
The fun part is... What happens to Guts AFTER HE DIES in that ARMOUR? Remember Skull Knight?
A few more drops of blood and it would have been a mutual kill.
@benblueblade4143 same
I was really rooting for Guts to pull through, but this is possibly the best way he could've gone out, and it's heartening to see Dimitri face down the demons afterwards.
How about guts vs adol the red from wanderers from y's? That is a great match up. Plus adol kills demons that take up the screen
What actually happened though? I don't quite understand the ending with the blood symbol on the back of his neck or why he was still standing there
@Z3rGz basically as I've come to understand it, the symbol attracts demons to claim his soul, and starts bleeding whenever there's demons nearby, so when Guts stood still there was a shadow behind him, which was a demon. Which Dimitri realized and chose to defend Gut's body from As for him standing still it could just be the berserker armor giving him that one last stand before ultimately dying
@@Z3rGzGuts was given a cuts that attracts demons. That’s what the marking on his neck is.
Still would have like to see him win but nonetheless your comment is perfect.
These two really are the ultimate monster slayers. This fight was incredible.
This is one of the very best Death Battle's. While the Ending is indeed badass and quite Emotional, I still think the Fight Itself is Stellar
Damn this is the first time someone died in a badass way in death battle. Like who else died while standing up as they try to give the finishing blow. Even the winner tries to honor the opponent's death. Respect for both combatants.
Oh hell off with the cringe
@@michaelraymon111It's treason, then.
because DB knew their decision would upset the viewers they attempted to show some decency
Adam moment
What about Spongebob vs Aquaman?
Guts always seems to have the worst luck with blonde blue eyed guys but... That throwing knife at Dimitri cracked me up so hard.
a message from judeau
@@motor4X4kombat how did I forget that? Thank you lol
How is it going to pierce him but guts can't cleave him in two
the sword slap to Dimitri's face had me cackling
Ah Griffen has white hair or your talking about somebody else
Dimitri just made Guts happier, I’d say he was at the bottom of the barrel, but it just kept getting worse
As a massive berserk fan guts’s death here was done beautifully, sword in hand and dimitri saving his soul, it felt berserkesque in all the right ways
“I promise I’ll kill them! All of them DOWN TO THE LAST ONE!!!” Goosebumps
It saddened me to see Guts loose, but him dying standing up while still trying to kill Dimitri gave me chills... This reminded me of Rock Lee vs. Gaara in the chunin exams, Rock Lee standing up with broken limbs wanting to continue fighting even he's unconscious gave me the same vibe in this fight... Dying while not giving up is just badass...
Dont forget White Beard from One Piece also died while standing as well.
@@dbm2589 this is what I like to call "pulling a Benkai" refering to the man who literally stood on a bridge slaughtering opponents who wanted to kill his master, protecting him while the lord commited ritual suicide. In the end he died standing on his feet (and it was found to be medically possible due to intense exercise causing the riger mortis to set in much faster)
@@dbm2589 Ganondorf from Twillight Princess too 🙂
It's more akin to the Garra v Kimimaru since Kimi died right before the killing blow.
Raoh from Hokuto no Ken did it first. And he didn't just die, he quite literally punched his own soul into the heavens.
It’s my personal head cannon that in Guts last breath as his sword was falling towards Dimitris head he had a moment of clarity and choose to use the last of his strength to hold his sword thus sparing Dimitris life, being a man who killed thousands Gut’s final act was to spare a man
Probably one of a few men he could call his comrade had circumstances been different
Makes Dimitiri’s new goal to save Guts’s soul all the better. An act of kindness from a man no used to such being paid back by another man not used to kindness.
I could definitely get behind that. If he had just died mid-swing, the momentum would’ve carried the sword on its path. He HAD to have made the choice to stop the blade. I like it 👍🏻
Love it
Maybe
You guys are overthinking this, don’t you know that lances have weapon advantage over swords.
I would have taken that explanation over claiming he hits with the force of a nuke because he beat a girl who killed a dragon and they scaled her durability to a blast she didn’t even survive because the missile that hit her scales much lower and shouldn’t factor in anyway because their greatest feats of destruction are breaking wooden barricades
@@firenze6478I mean Dimitri crushed a grown man's skull with just his fingertips, through his helmet no less. That kind of power is freakishly strong, demigod level strong. I absolutely love Guts as a character (Dimitri too, Blue Lions route was my favourite 3 houses route) but Guts doesn't have that same amount of raw monstrous power that Dimitri has and I can't see Guts matching that kind of power even with Berserker armor, all Dimitri realistically needs is a clean hit with Areadbhar's atrocity to kill Guts tbh.
I mean, he gains his Lancefair skills and it upgrades over time with the use of the lances efficiency, and not to even mention swordbreaker, to debuffing Guts permanently each incounter Dimitri makes a turn. I'd honestly thought they were gonna give him vulnerables and a spare silver lance and sword to boot, since he knows how to use them to.
@@OGFastkris so does guts. They both can one shot each other. Dimitri doesn’t have earthquake level durability, that was a different spell that he tanked and earthquake damages people by shaking fallen debris. Don’t get me wrong, I think dimitri still wins in the end, but crushing a man’s skull and destroying an island are far from the same thing
Dimitri’s route is my favorite because of his redemption it was my first I genuinely didn’t know who would win but I’m glad Dimitri came to seemingly respect him this was a great match between broken warriors that deserve above all else to find peace
this is a rare instance of a non-villain death battle where I can actually believe these two would try to kill each other
I like to think the right (or technically wrong) circumstances would pit Raiden and Wolverine against each other
@@mercury2157 Raiden (literally) bumps into Logan at a bar. "Hey, you made me spill my beer, bub!"
I could see them trying to kill each other in some instances, but if Byleth were present to reign Dimitri in, I could see the two becoming friends out of respect for each other's strength and tenacity. I could also see Dimitri trying to use Dragon Slayer.
@@thecursed_1lordofcats738 Yeah it really depends on what dimetri they use.
@@mercury2157 My favorite part about that fight is despite Raiden’s many advantages over Wolverine, it wasn’t until both were pushed to their limits that Raiden was able to kill him.
I loved it when Demitri said you demons will not have his soul. Then jumps right into the action to fight those demons for Guts.
It also makes this Demitri's redeeming arc as he was slowly losing his humanity. Only for him to save 1 person one final time.
@@IveBeenWithBrumaen el caso de que gane, por supuesto.
I still wonder how Dimitri keeps up with Guts with the Berseker Armor?
@@Lord_Aizen208 Guts is a normal human that is really strong. Dimitri is borderline a demigod. The man can do what guts can do with his bare hands.
Hell, he jumped into that scrap with a broken spear
I've played enough Fire Emblem to know that Guts was losing the weapon triangle.
The weapon Triangle doesn't exist in 3 Houses.
Of course Dimitri won. Did none of you remember about the weapon triangle? Spears beat swords!
Guts did very well. An honorable opponent. He died like a true knight
Felix would like to know your location
@@c4liga215 You know I was thinking the exact same thing.
Rodrigue moment
In my opinion, the information they had on Guts felt outdated. We could have gotten something more if the Creator hadn't died and the manga still continued
@@princeofpokemon2934it's still being continued but by his best friend koji mori
Agree or disagree with the outcome. This was one of the most dignified deaths they’ve ever done.
Nope. It sucks.
@@dukkemonterier3429 How?
@@dukkemonterier3429How?
@@dukkemonterier3429Explain.
Pretty sure that's bait. They ain't gonna elaborate guys. 😅
Never would have expected dimitri in a death battle this is randomly cool lmao
That was breathtaking. I especially liked how Dimitri, through all the madness, came to empathize with Guts.
They were so similar one could think they're the same in mind. Tormented by different things, yet caused same pain, it was kind of deal where neither would step back but could definitely understand other's pain.
Dimitri shows respect for his fallen opponent (via Dimitri hunting down the demons chasing Guts' corpse offscreen after the fight).
Even if Guts lost, I'm happy they gave him one of the best endings with him still standing and Dimitri protecting his soul from the demons.
Well not me tho
@OP CDRW24 Right?!? First SERIOUS fight where the loser DIDNT STAY DEAD
God I love how heavy Deagonslayer feels. Sounds and looks like it would crush me to death if you rested it on my chest. I don't care how kinky that sounds, this sword is worth it.
I was rooting for Guts, but I already guessed the outcome, mans a certified BAMF but his kit is kept pretty grounded for the most part. That being said, I really appreciate the respect you guys gave Guts even in death.
Yeah, both combatants are complete badasses.
Need to reiterate that the berserker armor will keep Guts going until he is OUT OF BLOOD. Meaning that even with all the blood expunged from his body he still had the willpower to swing his sword one last time.
I truly don't understand how he died lol.. but it's all good
@@Sosa_D_Roger It as spaghettimaster9368 said, the berserker armor when in use drains Guts of his blood. Think Ryuko from Kill la Kill (with her armor also draining her blood) but more on life and death for him than her just collapsing because of blood loss for her. The Death battle crew also states this in Gut's abilities run-through that yes until he is completely out of blood, the berserker armor would keep him fighting until that happens. Sorry for the nerding out Sosa.
@@SpencerFelix21-390 wouldn't he still be able to swing n fight tho since the armor is enchanted?
@@Sosa_D_Roger Dimitri’s last attack was so strong the Berserker armor used the last of Guts’ blood to keep him fighting, thus killing him
@@Sosa_D_Rogerif you want a clue to how and when guts fully died, there's no blood on dimitris Lance when he pulls it out after the crit finisher
Honestly, can we all just appreciate that they gave us a better 3D Guts and dragon slayer sound effect than Berzerk 2016-17? Also, I love the respect Dimitri gave at the end
Lmfao
its sad because it is actually true.
I still can't believe that 3d anime.
GUTS SHOULD'VE WON BUT AWESOME FIGHT 😎
@@jayheart553 Mappa does great cgi, it has nothing to do with it being 3d
This and Jack VS Afro are the only two fake-outs that have actually gotten me. Every other one you can usually see coming a mile away, but this one was great. "Oh, so Dimitri's used his super, and Guts appears dead, but obviously he's going to get back up and continue fighting... yep, there we go, now Dimitri is scre- wait, WHAT? Guts is DEAD? NOW?!?" Got me real good.
At 17:00 you can really see the little Bill Cipher on the background
Ain't no way, I just saw it when you pointed it out! 🤣🤣
It's quite fascinating how Guts, despite surviving the Eclipse, was still constantly haunted by demon spirits, showing us that, even if you miracously escaped the Horror, it will always chase you. In fact, that aspect of "Berserk" even inspired a chapter of the book "Let the Right One In" in which the vampire Eli is haunted by the ghosts of the children who were sacrificed when she was transformed into a monster.
ok
@@randomguy9406Alright
It does take heavy inspiration from mythos, specifically European mythos. And boy are those monsters, creatures, and fey are all REALLY nasty when you anger them.
Lol it’s literally a huge part of the plot, the Brand forces him to become a demon beacon because he wasn’t supposed to survive, the Brand of Sacrifice is exactly what it’s labeled: you’re marked as cattle for the slaughter and no matter what, you will be hunted and consumed by any means.
Bro berserk didn't invent the idea of having PTSD after surviving a traumatic event.
You see while Guts fights things stronger than him everyday, Dimitri fights things weaker than him everyday.
As if demon edelgard was weaker than him lol
"You think that I've been playing God, but this entire time I've been playing human."
@@oskoshua4482He had to jump her with his army.....
@@romansnider4676 ??? I just said edelgard in that form is stronger lol
@oskoshua4482 Yeah and he didn't fight her 1 v 1 like guts does to all of his apostle foes.
The romance between Guts and Casca is really great and Griffith's betrayal towards Guts and the others was so horrible he deserves punishment and death!
A Ghost Rider's Penance Stare in Zarathos Unleashed State is the best way to make suffer that Albino Bastard known as Griffith, not even as Femto can save him from Zarathos
It's hard to be mad at the result, when Guts went out like a badass!
*(YEAH!!!!)*
Spoiler: The angry man with one eye won.
Do you mean the guy with the tragic backstory or the guy with the really long weapon?
dimitri also has a tragic backstory@@luiginumbers6268
Demoman?
The winner is the real man who fights against a white-haired person who succumbed themselves to the evil.
Why does this work so well?
Don’t worry, guys. Dimitri and I are actually best bros, and I am still alive
Yo, when are ya going save Casca 😢
I have a question. How are you still alive?
CHAD
Damn you guys are definitely returning to form! This reminds me of wolverine vs raiden back in the day. Great fight
You know, I think the Apostles and the Gd hand would make for some pretty interesting Fire Emblem villains. Guts would fit right in.
Guts had a really horrible life. The part where Pippin accidentally threw him into the water with Rickert broke my soul 😭
Personally, I think the part where Pippin accidentally woke up the balrog and Gandalf stole the xp from guts was a low point.
@@The_Dying_Rose Honestly guys, the Part where Pippin sealed Aizen and saved the soul society, classic
@@TheCrypticJester I suppose, but how could anyone forget the part where Pippin said "It pipping time!" And proceeded to pipp all over the place. Truly the most emotional scene.
Pippin is the Soul King
dimitri had fight years alone and was besieged od lmfao guts would be dead tired a long time ago dimitri endurance durability strength is on another level
My first thought was "Shoulda been Ike, everyone agrees that he looks like Guts, especially in Radiant Dawn"..... but then it occurred to me.... both Guts and Dimitri are missing an eye, and have a bloodlust towards a silver haired character who is willing to become a demon to meet their goal and is associated with a bird of prey... yeah this was a great match up.
also, ike washes guts out of the water he scales directly to fe gods
@@FranTheNerdikes more requested fight nowadays is siegfried from soulcalibur I think
@rollthedyce7578 Yeah Ike is pretty much canon in every FE game as the strongest MF to ever do it. Alot of people forget cause he's so humble about it lol
Ike is pretty weak, no idea why people keep hyping it up. His best feat is being borrowed the power of a godess for a second (second hand power ups are banned on death battle). He is a very skilled swordman, but he is barely above peak human.
@@rifasclub so did ashnard and he beat him. He's also been confirmed to be at minimum one of the strongest lords, so he's comparable to them as well. Yall really need to stop being so negative with fe Even ifi were to cut the effort between Ike and yune in half (which is very fair as it was his attack that beat her), that'd still make him very powerful
