Guts, formally known as 'The Black Swordsman' from the dark fantasy manga and anime Berserk, is a formidable, brooding swordsman known for his sheer strength, skill, and towering stature. Guts is a wanderer driven by an intense desire to master his own destiny and avenge his betrayer, Griffith, who leads a group called the Band of the Hawk. His quest is compounded by the enormous, sentient sword he bears, the Dragonslayer, and the Curse of Evil Eye he carries, attracting supernatural foes. Guts struggles with a violent past, finding solace in a few close bonds, such as that with the kind-hearted Puck. Despite his rough demeanor, Guts possesses a compassionate heart, as seen through his protectiveness towards his adoptive family and his companions, evident in his respect and occasional moments of tenderness. However, his traumatic experiences have shaped him into a man who is often aloof and aggressive, seeking solitude amidst his pain.
