Overview
This video from CthulhuTv, hosted by Carmelo, analyzes the "God Hand" from the manga Berserk. It explains who they are, their origins, their powers, and explores the cinematic, literary, and other references associated with each member.
Key takeaways
The God Hand: A group of five terrifying beings with reality-bending and astral manipulation powers, representing the "fingers" of God.
Origin: They were once human but were chosen through pain, suffering, and a significant sacrifice during an eclipse that occurs every 216 years.
Griffith (Femto): The primary antagonist, formerly Griffith, now a member of the God Hand. He retains memories of his past but has lost his humanity. His powers include telekinesis, gravity manipulation, and the ability to distort space. His appearance is reminiscent of Lucifer, the fallen angel.
Ubic: Appears as the most insignificant member with a small, floating body and glasses. He manipulates minds by exploiting dreams, fears, and desires, and his design is inspired by a Hellraiser cenobite and the Japanese entity Amanojaku.
Slan: The only female member, described as a combination of love, hate, pleasure, pain, life, and death. She has a beautiful yet lethal appearance with tentacular hair and enjoys cruelty and suffering. Her name is derived from a novel by A. E. van Vogt.
Conrad: The most enigmatic member, with a coiled, pillbug-like body and a permanently impassive expression. His abilities are largely unknown but are speculated to be related to plagues, possibly being the cause of the black plague in the manga. His appearance is inspired by H.R. Giger's Necronomicon.
Void: Considered the most imposing member, though the God Hand has no leaders. He has a cadaverous face with a skull that reveals his brain and possesses skeletal arms. He is philosophical, analyzing causality and inevitability, and can create portals for transportation. His name and the concept of "void" are significant to the God Hand's ultimate goal.
