Written by After an almost year-long hiatus, the Berserk manga series has finally returned to publication on June 12, 2026, with Chapter 384. The chapter is not only the continuation of Guts’ journey of awakening inside Daiba’s Stupa, but also reveals a secret that essentially changes everything for the narrative.
Was the long hiatus worth it? Absolutely. While we now know the actual reason behind Kouji Mori’s delay in the release of the seinen manga, the narrative reveal and twist at the end make it absolutely worth the wait. Without further ado, let’s jump straight into an analytical breakdown of Chapter 384’s ending and do a quick review of the latest chapter.
Spoiler Alert !!!Spoilers from Berserk Chapter 384 up ahead.

With the recent release, Berserk Chapter 384 became the most introspective chapter in the entire manga – rather than advancing the plot externally, it focuses almost entirely on Guts’ psychological and spiritual state as he remains sealed inside Daiba’s Stupa. However, as the chapter progressed, the main revelation started to surface – something that shocked us all.
It was revealed that Guts has been connected to the Interstice, the liminal, overlapping boundary between the physical and astral worlds, since the moment he was born. The chapter emphasizes that because Guts was literally born from death – he never fully belonged to the realm of the living, nor the dead. However, we also got hints earlier that Guts wasn’t actually a normal orphan, being “born from a corpse”, so the revelation wasn’t really shocking; it was the parallel the new information drew.
For years, Berserk has portrayed Guts as the ultimate struggler – a human who constantly defies fate through sheer willpower – but this changes everything. A stark comparison between him and Griffith can clearly be seen with this new information, drawing a distinct and interesting parallel; while Griffith became a being of the Interstice through his transformation into Femto, Guts appears to have been tied to the Interstice since birth.
Based on how the chapters progress so far, we thought the recent chapter would be the end of his solitary journey. However, the chapter isn’t giving Guts a power-up – instead, it seems to be setting up a process of self-understanding. Chapter 383 isolated him from the outside world, and Chapter 384 forces him to examine who he truly is beneath the rage, trauma, and obsession with Griffith.

Overall, the latest chapter seemed to draw more of a conclusion than a continuity; the revelation is more like what he was intended to do in that space: to find himself, which he did. Based on the events, it seems like Mori wants to close out the whole self-reflection situation planned by Kentaro Miura and wants to get him back into action.
If we talk about the actual ending of the chapter, the chapter ends without a clear resolution. It just leaves Guts at the threshold of a major realization about his nature and his connection to the astral world – the Stupa functioning almost like a spiritual cocoon, forcing him to confront truths he has avoided his entire life. In short, the chapter is basically an emotional pivot before we actually reach the endgame in Berserk.
