“Why Berserk Outshines Dragon Ball as Manga's Greatest Masterpiece” — what this page in the network covers.

Unlike Dragon Ball's straightforward battle shonen formula, Berserk explores dark fantasy themes of trauma, ambition, and the human condition through its protagonist Guts, whose relentless struggle against fate resonates deeply with readers.
Critics and fans consistently rank Berserk among the greatest manga ever, with its influence extending across games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring. While Dragon Ball's cultural impact is undeniable, Berserk's artistic and narrative achievements set a benchmark that many argue Dragon Ball cannot match.
