But with the exception of the God Hand, the Four Elemental Kings (whose full powers are as-of-yet unknown, and may not be easily quantifiable in physical terms), the transcended apostle Ganishka/Shiva, and the Sea God, none of the beings seen so far in the series seem to possess anything beyond Multi-City Block level destructive capability and Hypersonic to High Hypersonic+ speed. The Berserk verse is fairly powerful due to its abundance of colossal and bizarre monsters, the most reoccurring being the Apostles of the God Hand who are humans who denounced their humanity and transform into physical manifestations of their deformed souls. The series is notorious for its heavy violence and sexual content but is also lauded for its richly detailed artistic quality (which is known to take heavy inspiration from the likes of painting and lithography as well as manga and comics), depth of character development, moral nuance, and heavy philosophical subject matter, inspired especially by Friedrich Nietzsche and his works. Set in a medieval inspired fantasy world, the story centers on the characters of Guts, an orphaned mercenary, and Griffith, the leader of a mercenary band called the Band of the Hawk.
