In a gloomy but medieval-inspired world like Berserk In addition to magic, swords are a fundamental element. During the first part of the story, we saw many blades cut through enemy flesh, from normal weapons to more elaborate ones. Gatsu, the protagonist, has always armed himself with massive swords with which he can kill enemies.
But with the end of the golden age Gatsu has chosen to switch to a much more deadly weapon of the usual, a weapon that has become an icon and which has repeatedly served as a model in other media for creating unique arsenals. The dragon slayer is Gatsu’s sword But despite his name, he has never killed a dragon, creatures that do not appear in the world of Berserk at the moment.
Its origins are humble and come from the work of a simple human blacksmith, Godo, who was entrusted with the task of creating precisely This huge weapon is capable of facing a monstrous creature such as a dragon. Godo worked diligently until he achieved the result desired by the customer, who, however, could not raise the sword. The dragon slayer was, in fact, too big and heavy to be used by anyone, and so it stood in dusty place in Godo’s armory until Gatsu’s arrival.
The sword was then used in the rest of the Berserk manga, with Gatsu putting it to the test at every opportunity without ever failing. Even in the real world, fans are trying to use the Dragon Slayer in some fun videos.
