In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “The Eclipse (Berserk)” is a rare card of the Memes World series 70, number 20710 of the collection, and the 7th best-known meme of its 18 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “The Eclipse (Berserk)” meme mean?
The Eclipse is invoked for a betrayal that cannot be repaired: the friend who crosses over, the decision that turns a group into rubble, the moment after which nothing resumes as before. By contrast it also deliberately inflates small disappointments: announcing your personal Eclipse over a cancelled plan is part of ordinary use. Either way, what is named is the irreversible tipping point, not the violence of the scene.
Where does the “The Eclipse (Berserk)” meme come from?
Berserk, Kentarō Miura’s manga begun in 1989, follows over many volumes the rise of the Band of the Hawk and the friendship between Guts and Griffith. The Eclipse closes that golden age: in chapter 73, published on 9 February 1996, Griffith accepts the sacrifice of his own troop to be reborn as Femto, in a scene set under a darkened sky that gives the episode its name. The event sits at the heart of the 1997 anime adaptation, whose final episode is titled after the Great Eclipse. Online it is the imagery of the scene that circulates, as a shock image or an ironic edit, rather than a specific line: research for this page found no single quotation attached to the meme.
