there are several instances of graphic rape. please refrain from reading this serious if rape is a serious trigger for you. not only are adults raped, but a child is raped as well. it is not romanticized, and is depicted as disgusting, however.

There are many portrayals of mental illness in Berserk. Mostly PTSD, but they are not portrayed as being violent due to their mental illness. Some (not all; see: Farnese later in the story) characters are violent, but the rest of the world is just as violent if not moreso than them.
