Kentaro Miura Was a Biter, pt. 2: The Origins of The Godhand

What if the brutal grindfest of Berserk actually began with the brutal grindfest of the first Final Fantasy game? In this episode, we explore the origins of the Godhand, and ask the question: Was Berserk originally concieved as oone gigantic Final Fantasy One Remix? We're putting the God Hand next to the Four Fiends, and Chaos next to Griffith—and investigating the parallels between the game's monster apocalypse and Berserk's Fantasia arc. Along the way, we get into Hellraiser, H. R. Giger, visual sampling, and the brutal grind of surviving in environments designed to kill you. In this episode: The God Hand and the Cenobites of Hellraiser The Four Fiends, Chaos, and the architecture of demonic power The monster invasion of Final Fantasy I and Berserk's monster-filled Fantasia arc Guts and the psychological grind of old-school JRPG's The possibility that Final Fantasy influenced Berserk from the beginning. What if Miura has always been showing us? Is Miura a biter, a sampler, or an alchemist? Watch, compare the evidence, and let us know what you think!
