I'm on episode 671, and every time I see Zoro I can't help but feel that he's heavily inspired by Guts..

Both are considered lone swordsman, have one eye scarred, and now Zoro has the fairy friend just like Guts has Puck.

I know that doesn't seem like many similarities but whenever I look at Zoro I see Guts now.

I think Berserk was very influential in Japan, even Dark Souls has some but they look similar because they are the same type of badass but I wouldn't say Zoro is directly inspired by Guts.

Zoro's fairy friend is only temporary anyway while Guts' one not. Also there's a big difference in the weapons they use.

Neon Genesis Evangelion inspired Berserk which inspired Jojo's Bizarre Adventures which inspired Pokemon which inspired Re:Zero which inspired Ashita no Joe.

I thought Zoro/Guts to be complete rip offs of Cory from Cory in the House though.

I'm sure Kirito inspired Guts to be the real swordsman because Kirito-sama is the real swordsman. His like, freaking great.

Which inspired you to make a thread shitting on people who repeat stuff, yet you make the exact thing in this thread... smh


Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself.

That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes!

Zoro is inspired by Zorro, though I wouldn't doubt any relation like that.
A lot of OP plays off of western things though.

so Zorro + Gattsu = Zoro?

But seriously OP, there is a chance but there is also a chance that its not, just stop caring and jerk off like you always do when confronting a dilemma

You must be new cause its been said hundreds of times and even Miura confirmed that his work was largely inspired by SAO

@HamburgerSpike

yeah I am quite new and SAO is the best anime to be honest. Fuck Guts or whatever 4deep6me it is. Not interested in that shit...

@RainyRai

Come on, we all know that OreImo inspired Nisekoi, and it inspired Re:Zero... That's pretty common...

nah nah nah, OreImo did inspire Nisekoi but Nisekoi did not inspire Re:Zero, that was most definitely inspired by Pokemon the movie 5: Heroes Forever.

Maybe, idk really, but I also have a theory that Berserk was heavily inspired by One Piece.

Here's my evidence:

Ohhh I can very well see your point there dude, no worries, I might have not gotten too deep in how those series connect but you showed me the light.

I dont know if its so hard to get but youre like the 10th person this week who writes counterarguments to my jokes lol The point was that the stuff you said is obvious so youre contradicting yourself with that postXthread
They arent really that obscure, are they? Should I rethink my life?

I'm actually a fraud tbh I haven't watched anime in 37 years, the only anime I watched was Evangelion's 14th episode backwards. everything I write is a shitpost.

note: this post is not canon.

I usually skip fillers cause the majority sucks, but this one was pretty good, episodic comedy.
I also wonder about the fact that half of these guys not getting the joke are kinda butthurt over it and go defensive when its perfectly normal and happens a lot to everyone(for sure to them lol)

Here's my evidence:


There is no way. Because Berserk is created in 1989 where as One piece is in 1997. Berserk had Guts even before One piece is created. + Any thing related to a pirate drawing don't mean it is inspired by One piece.
