Berserk‘s Guts’ most defining trait is his ability to endure unimaginable pain and hardship. From surviving hundreds of battles against demons and apostles to withstanding crippling injuries; his durability is legendary. His Dragonslayer isn’t just a massive sword, it’s a tool that amplifies his raw strength. His combat skills, honed through years of war and survival, make him one of the most formidable fighters in Berserk.
On the other hand, Toji’s speed is his greatest weapon in Jujutsu Kaisen. He moves with an agility that seems almost supernatural, even in a world filled with sorcerers and cursed spirits. Toji single-handedly destroyed a cursed spirit like Dagon in its own domain; a realm designed to amplify its strength. His lack of cursed energy forces him to rely more on his instincts, tactics, and physical capabilities.
Despite its supernatural elements, Berserk‘s world operates on a grim, grounded realism, while Jujutsu Kaisen leans into high-speed, cursed-energy-driven battles. This difference in narrative style makes direct comparisons quite challenging.
Toji’s speed is undeniably superior, but Guts has consistently shown an ability to counter faster opponents. On the other hand, While Guts’ raw strength allows him to split through virtually anything, Toji’s precision with cursed tools in Jujutsu Kaisen shows that he doesn’t quite need brute force to win. Guts’ stamina and ability to fight through pain are unmatched, but Toji’s adaptability in battle might allow him to exploit Guts’ reliance on his armor and sword.
In a purely physical contest, Guts’ durability and raw strength would likely give him the edge. However, Toji’s speed and precision aren’t something one can take casually. If he can exploit Guts’ lack of agility or land a critical strike, Toji might overcome Guts before the Black Swordsman has a chance to adapt.
Ultimately, this battle would come down to the circumstances of the fight. In a neutral arena, the battle would definitely be a tough one. However, this debate isn’t about crowning a victor but celebrating the incredible storytelling that made both of these characters iconic. Both characters embody the essence of the power dynamics of their respective series; Berserk and Jujutsu Kaisen, and that’s why this fantasy battle sounds much more compelling.
Both Berserk and Jujutsu Kaisen are currently available to watch on Crunchyroll.
