Berserk v19 p033


The character with the ominous eyes at the end of the page is known as the Egg of The Perfect World. He was an incel who lived in burrowed tunnels, like a moleman. In order to become part of demonkind he sacrificed "the world around him" since he was a nobody and had nobody close to him to use as a sacrifice. Some would instantly dismiss this character as a typical deformed creature character villain archetype, but in Berserk nothing is so simple.

As he was climbing the Tower of Conviction in order to bring forth the Perfect World, he comes across Guts and Casca's child, the Egg stopped dead in his tracks, in the middle of his single, most important desire in life, and cradled the aborted fetus in his hands in a moment of genuine empathy, and assimilates him into his body so it can live again, jeopardising the whole operation. You see, the Egg sacrifices his own life in order to give Griffith (the ultra mega Chad did nothing wrong btw) his body back, but by assimilating The Child, the Egg gave Griffith a mortal weakness: some degree of human emotion towards Guts and Casca and the transformation of Griffith into the Moonlight Boy. This I think elevates the character of the Egg beyond a mere incel coded villain and makes him a fully fleshed out, 3 dimensional character; like the Count, it shows that demonkind is not so dissimilar to mankind so as to consider them different species like say, an elf and a unicorn, and it gives him a moral fibre that remains unchanged even after becoming an unsightly beast. Truly, Miura was a highly empathetic man who was incel-sympathetic despite never being an incel himself, it shows with Mozgus' adopted sons, the torturers and it really shines here with the Egg of the Perfect World.
