Berserk Analysis - Why Corkus Matters

Berserk Analysis - Why Corkus Matters

I hate Corkus.

And I know for a fact that I am not the only Berserk fan who thinks that. From the first time he appeared, to all the way to his death, he was a straight up asshole.

He is such an easy-to-hate character, and that is the whole intention behind him. He is supposed to be hated and disliked by the reader.

However, having said all that, even though I among many fans hate him, I still appreciate his placement in the story with what he represents and symbolises.

If you remember, Corkus was actually the first band member to initiate some type of action towards guts. After guts had killed bazuso, corkus, along with a few others, launched an attack on him to steal his money.

It was this small conflict which caused guts to attack back, which further led Casca to come attack him as well and this all eventually led him to finally meet Griffith for the first time.

So if corkus never attacked guts in the way he did, the Berserk world could look very different. However that is not the main point I'm trying to express in this video.
