Introduction:
In Berserk, evil doesn’t just exist—it governs. At the center of this supernatural control is the God Hand, a group of five otherworldly beings who rule over darkness, fate, and despair. They are not just villains; they are gods in a world that has forsaken mercy.
This article explores who the God Hand are, what they want, and why their presence defines the horror and tragedy of Berserk.
Who Are the God Hand?
The God Hand is a group of five demonic entities:
- Void – The oldest, most philosophical, and leader-like in tone. He represents logic without compassion.
- Slan – A seductive, chaotic figure who embodies lust, cruelty, and excess.
- Ubik – Manipulative and cryptic, always tempting victims with false hope.
- Conrad – Silent and morbid, representing pestilence and decay.
- Femto – The newest member, formerly known as Griffith, who was born during the Eclipse.
Each member represents a twisted aspect of the human experience, elevated to godlike horror.
What Is Their Purpose?
The God Hand serves Idea of Evil, a mysterious god-like entity that controls causality—the flow of fate. Their role is to enforce destiny, offer sacrificial pacts to chosen humans, and spread despair.
They don’t kill with swords—they warp reality, offering power to humans who are desperate enough to trade their loved ones for it. These humans become Apostles, monstrous beings loyal to the dark.
The Brand of Sacrifice: Their Calling Card
Every sacrifice to the God Hand is marked by the Brand of Sacrifice. This symbol binds the branded to the God Hand’s world, making them targets of spirits and demons.
The Brand doesn’t just signify loss—it’s a mark of ownership. Once branded, a human becomes part of the God Hand’s cycle of suffering.
Femto: The God That Was Once a Man
What makes the God Hand truly terrifying is that Griffith became one of them. This transformation during the Eclipse showed that anyone—no matter how noble—can fall.
Femto is unique among the God Hand because of his direct connection to the human world. He walks among men as Griffith, building kingdoms while secretly manipulating the world from behind a divine mask.
Femto is not just a symbol of betrayal—he’s divinity born of ambition.
The God Hand and Free Will
Perhaps the most chilling part of the God Hand is their relationship with fate. They don’t force people to make choices—they offer options during a person’s darkest moment.
In this way, Berserk questions morality, agency, and destiny. The God Hand reveals that evil is not always imposed—it’s chosen, often out of desperation.
Visions, Rituals, and Ceremonies
The God Hand usually appear during astral events, like eclipses or when certain magical conditions are met. When they arrive, reality bends. Time, space, and perception collapse. Their domain is the Interstice—the space between the physical and spiritual worlds.
This surreal environment adds to their terror. Being in their presence feels like existing outside reality.
Conclusion
The God Hand are not just monsters—they are architects of a world built on suffering. Their existence raises some of Berserk‘s most philosophical questions: Is free will real? Can fate be defied? Is evil always a choice?
