BERSERK 1997 Abridged
Burst for Gaston
Three years into Guts' tenure with the Band of the Falcon, Gaston stood out as one of the raiders who held profound respect for Guts, both as a commanding officer and a friend. Typically characterized by a cheerful and optimistic demeanor, Gaston found immense joy in celebrating victories. Despite never regretting his decision to join the Band of the Falcon, Gaston harbored aspirations of saving earnings to establish a clothing shop in Wyndham. Upon Guts' return, Gaston confessed to abandoning the store when learning about the band's exile, yet he expressed no disappointment when revealing this to his former commander. Instead, he embraced the idea that his place was with the band, emphasizing the familial bond among the raiders. Shortly before his death, Gaston displayed self-awareness regarding his role in the narrative, sharing with Guts a feeling of being a "minor character" in a "crazy story someone wrote."

Commander Guts! Say, you weren't thinking about leaving without saying goodbye again, now, were you? Because if that's the case, we've decided that we're coming with you, and there's nothing you can do about it. It was a unanimous decision.
As long as you're leading us, we know we can succeed. Please take us with you, Commander.
