Griffith Sacrifices His Saviors (Berserk)
Actually, These Are the Real Top 10 Anime Betrayals
With so much brutality going on in Berserk, it isn’t hard to see why it has one of the most impactful anime betrayals. The story centers around the “Black Swordsman,” a man named Guts who was once part of a mercenary group called the Band of Hawk. Their leader, Griffith, was a fearless man who ended the Hundred-Year War and brought peace to the war-torn land of Midland. Plenty of people looked up to the leader as their savior and even earned the nickname as the “Falcon of Light” because of his amazing deeds. His reputation took a sharp turn for the worse when he decided to copulate with Princess Charlotte as his impulsive actions led to a year-long imprisonment filled with crippling torture.
The Band of Hawk slowly begin to suffer without their leader, but they managed to find the resolve to break him out of prison. The torture had already taken its toll by the time they arrived, as Griffith was already a shell of his former self. If it wasn’t bad enough, their leader decides to sacrifice the Band of Hawk to become the God Hand, Femto. Griffith even went as far to force himself on Guts’ girlfriend, Casca, right in front of him. His molestation eventually led to Casca losing her sanity and giving birth to their demon child.
