The Absolute Law of Causality
In the world of Berserk, human free will exists within the currents of "Causality" (Koushitso), an unyielding cosmic thread woven by divine entities. Events, tragedies, and downfalls are not accidental; they are pre-ordained steps leading toward sacrificial climaxes.
The Crimson Behelit (Egg of the King)
SPOILER!
Egg of the King · The Sacrificial Conduit
A small, flesh-colored stone shaped like a distorted human face whose features are scrambled. Carried by Griffith since youth, the Crimson Behelit (Egg of the King) is destined to awaken once every 216 years when its master reaches the absolute depth of despair, crying tears of blood to summon the God Hand.
The God Hand & Femto Ascension
SPOILER!
Void, Slan, Ubik, Conrad & Femto
Five archdemons who execute the divine will of the Idea of Evil. Void (the brain-like leader), Slan, Ubik, and Conrad preside over the sacrificial birth of the fifth member: Griffith, who sacrifices the souls of the entire Band of the Hawk to reincarnate as the demon lord Femto.
The Brand of Sacrifice
SPOILER!
Sanguine Rune · Eternal Phantom Beacon
A demonic sigil carved into the flesh of those offered as sacrifices during the Eclipse. The Brand acts as a beacon for evil spirits and Apostles, bleeding profusely in the presence of demonic entities and marking the bearer as living prey stranded between the physical world and the Astral Plane.
