Synopsis
When Griffith realizes that he will no longer be able to actualize his dream in his debilitated state, he wishes upon his Crimson Behelit as a final resort. Doing so triggers the "Eclipse"—a ritual in which the invoker sacrifices something of significance in exchange for great power. Griffith ultimately chooses to offer his legion of devoted followers, the Band of the Hawk.Edit
Subsequently, Griffith transcends to the Abyss where he faces an enormous entity akin to God. The being introduces itself as the Idea of Evil. Coveted into existence by humanity's collective subconsciousness, it has gone on to manipulate the lives of humans throughout all world events.
As Griffith now exists as a part of the human consciousness, present in the Abyss, the Idea of Evil eerily declares "Your desire is my desire... May your actions bring pain or salvation to mankind. Do as you will, Chosen One." With that, Griffith harvests the pain of his comrades to transform into his ideal self.

Background
While Chapter 83 of Berserk, "Shinen no Kami (2)," was initially released in Issue 14 of the 1996 Young Animal magazine, it was omitted from the Volume 13 release of Berserk at the author's request (he felt that the chapter gave away too much information too early in the story), making the magazine issue a collector's item.Edit

Ah, Berserk. Its first 21 volumes were a masterpiece, astounding one with a vivid, fresh fantasy and gorgeous illustrations, especially those of medieval-inspired combat. Then, the next 7 volumes introduced lousy new characters who didn't belong in the story while being riddled with uninspired, lazy plots.
The 83rd chapter, where Griffith talks to the God of the Berserk universe, is a return to the former, happier time, when the series was still great. Never released with the Japanese collection because Miura feared it would give away too many future events, it tackles a tricky situation for any writer. Namely, when a character talks ...

This review is nothing but spoiler on this 17 page "chapter".
~SPOILERS~
A good divergent supplement to the Berserk story line it also adds a new "Major" boss that may be the puppet master behind the entire series. I can see why Kentaro Miura didn't want to add it when he originally wrote it. The being that is that worlds possible "god" is a giant heart that has too many valves, with a ton of eyes in it's "body", damn these quotations, attached to a helix that has a whirlwind of emotions swirling around it like a hurricane. It saying that this visage is nothing but its ...

Okay. Why? Why would YOU watch this? It's a redacted chapter, not really a one shot. And it isn't even a truly out there chapter, it is a character whose only pull is the story relevance.
It is purely exposition about a world, but it is not canon and even directly stated by the author to NOT be canon. Literally worse than fan-fiction or fan theories, which at least might be right.
It is also too short to be worth of any praise on its own. The art is amazing as anything Miura releases, but honestly, when it comes to One-shot the bar is higher and this ...
