Introduction
Berserk Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture
The Hellhound first appeared to Guts during his two year long rampage against the demons that started crawling about the place after an event known as "the Eclipse" took place. Fans of Berserk know full well how brutal and costly that night was to Guts, but for those who don't we'll just say that the Black Swordsman was left mentally, physically, and spiritually scarred for the rest of his life.
During the rampage, Guts was first visited by the Beast of Darkness - who made its intentions clear from the very beginning. For a time, there was a fair amount of debate between Berserk fans as to whether or not the Hellhound was a genuine threat or if it was just a psychological manifestation of Guts' inner guilt and resentment. As the story has progressed, fans have learned that the Hellhound is both and many admirers of the show are expecting Guts to face off against the demonic spirit at some point or another. Until then, the Black Swordsman must do what he can to prepare for the Beast of Darkness' inevitable return from the dark recesses of his mind.
Berserk Inspired Dog Name Considerations
Despite Berserk's well earned classification as a dark fantasy series, there's a number of positive messages that fans can glean from the series if they look for them; perhaps the main reason to read Berserk, as well as give your dog a Berserk inspired name, would be if the phrase "struggle breeds greatness" resonates with you. Despite how dark the world of Berserk is, the few good characters in it have continued to struggle and persevere against overwhelming odds. That in and of itself is inspiring no matter how dark a setting may be. Consider a name like Casca, for the female lead of the series. Puck, the name of a travelling elf, is ideal for your small canine partner. Knight is always a noble name and stands for a benevolent character named the Skull Knight.
