BERSERK 1997 Abridged
Burst for Corkus
Corkus, portrayed as antagonistic towards Guts, exhibited fierce loyalty to Griffith, acknowledging Guts' immense value to the Band of the Falcon, particularly when Guts displayed formidable prowess in breaking his sword during the battle with Boscogn. Despite Corkus' one-sided hatred towards Guts, the latter didn't harbor major issues with Corkus and even considered him a valuable band member. Corkus openly expressed his animosity when Guts decided to leave the band, attributing it to Guts' perceived self-centered nature and the belief that Guts considered himself the sole bearer of life's burdens. However, Corkus displayed a rare moment of understanding when Guts felt guilty about leaving Griffith, reassuring him that Griffith's imprisonment wasn't his fault. While Corkus often appeared cynical and world-weary, hints of underlying idealism emerged in his past failed attempts at personal success. Judeau revealed that Corkus, having experienced a loss, sought solace in newfound glory and privileges under Griffith. Confronted with Guts' departure, Corkus candidly admitted to aiming arrows at Guts' back in battles, adding a complex layer to his character within the Band of the Falcon.
