After all, the makeover looks stunning in all its colors and textures. Guts looks gorgeous in the style of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. In fact, it is hard to believe the series creator Hirohiko Araki didn’t ink this himself. From Guts’ frame to his outfit changes and buster sword, this piece encapsulates the best parts of JoJo as well as Berserk.

For fans looking forward to the series return, Berserk confirmed it will launch its comeback at the end of this month. Young Animal will continue the manga’s ongoing arc for a few more chapters before beginning a new one. With Miura’s notes on hand, the editorial team plans to see the creator’s vision through to the end. Mangaka Kouji Miro will supervise the comeback as the artist spoke with Miura at length about Berserk as co-workers and best friends. So if you have been missing Guts, the warrior will return to readers in just a few weeks.
