Berserk - Guts Theme | Piano

The theme song for Guts, the wandering swordsman that struggles between seeking revenge for his fallen comrades and protecting those close to him.

This is a rather peaceful and longing theme for a character that suffered so much.

When thinking about the structure of this piece, it can be divided into two different sections, A and B, with each having a transition section in them as well.

The A theme is rather simple in terms of harmonic complexity, sustaining over an E major chord for its entirety, but it's this simplicity that makes it so reflective and peaceful. In the original recording, there are strings that are sustained throughout this section. The piano can't sustain notes like strings can, so I repeated playing the sustained notes at the beginning of each measure.

I think what makes this B section so impactful is that it offers some dichotomy after the simplicity of the A section. The emotion from the section I believe represents Guts' longing for Casca.

This song literally embodies the fight against destiny. though our minds can be clouded with anger, regret, sorrow this song inspires those to keep calm and fight the good fight. You played this song beautifully.

Beserk to me is more then just an anime. Is a testimony of a man's greatest ideals made into an avenue of entertainment.
And when I first heard this song I was Blown away I didn't dive into this anime sooner as a teenager.
The moment in the 97 anime when Griffith picks up guts from his face and this played I was like this is greatest thing I've ever seen, so to play this on piano so beautifully I broke down in tears at work 🥹

I am getting married to this next month, 30th march 🙂, thankyou so much. It's a beautiful rendition.

It seems like Guts theme sounds like heavy metal music because he kills demons and apostles everyday in a sadistic manner. But his theme actually sounds like sorrow, struggling, and overcoming the pain from his heart. Susumu Hirasawa (author of Guts theme) clearly understands what Guts went through.
