Berserk Abridged is an Affectionate Parody of Berserk (1997), created by hbi2k. The series was supposedly canceled after Episode 17, but this was revealed to be a hoax, and eventually all 25 episodes of the anime received the abridged treatment. The series chronicles Guts' recruitment by Griffith on his way to San Diego Comic Con and the resulting insanity up until the final episodes where the series goes in a drastically different direction than the original anime. The series is noteworthy for its use of Zodd and the Snake Baron, AKA Phil, of the first episode as a Greek Chorus. It's also worth noting that this is one of the first Abridged series to actually finish, but then again, a lot of other Abridged Series are based on Long-Runners.On January 9, 2011 hbi2k's Youtube channel was terminated for copyright infringement and all Berserk Abridged episodes were taken down. The claim came from VAP Inc., one of the Japanese producers of Berserk. hbi2k filed a counterclaim, and on January 27th, his channel was reinstated. All his videos are viewable again with the exception of a couple of Berserk Abridged episodes.On June 7, 2014, hbi2k finally revealed his next individual series, abridging the anime film trilogy Berserk: The Golden Age Arc.Can be found here. |

Genre Savvy |
| | Berserk Abridged (Web Video) / int_1777688d |
comment |
Genre Savvy: Zodd's line after the series ended, as follows: "but it's like the only time in the history of anime that the demons win. Every other show ends with the Ancient Hero of Bullshit showing up at the last minute, wielding the legendary Sword of Deus ex Machina and slicing the hell out of us. Well not this time! This time, WE WIN! Griffith turns evil. Everyone gets raped or eaten or killed. Fuck you. THE END!"note Although what he's saying is technically incorrect. Devilman, a manga that inspired Miura, ends pretty much the same way, only with more hermaphrodites. Though he did specifically mention anime history, and Devilman's anime didn't quite end with the Demons winning. |

The Cuckoo Lander Was Right: During the last episode, Guts explains that the universe is just experiencing some technical difficulties, and all they have to do is wait for a cosmic maintenance man to arrive and save them. His description of said cosmic maintenance man is a picture-perfect match for the Skull Knight. hbi2k's next series, Gantz Abridged, confirmed that this is exactly how this particular multiverse he's created works, especially when both Judeau and the Skull Knight appear as cosmic maintenance men. |

Rape as Backstory |
| | Berserk Abridged (Web Video) / int_524f94d3 |
comment |
Rape as Backstory: Discussed. Guts' history of sexual abuse is not played for laughs, since Word of God is that he couldn't think of a way to make it funny. Though the discussion itself contains a level of Black Comedy it's has more to do with Casca's clueless reaction than Guts' very legitimate pain. Averted in the "not played for laughs" part with the movie version, where the reason Guts' adoptive father let Donovan rape him is because it was opposite day. |

Throw the Dog a Bone: Really every member of the Hawks, given that this avoids the actual series' Downer Ending, particular mention should go to Nice Guy Judeau as described in the Where Are They Now sequence He ends up marrying Charlotte and becoming King of Midland. |

Foreshadowing |
| | Berserk Abridged (Web Video) / int_9d12bbc1 |
comment |
Foreshadowing: Zodd nonchalantly telling Guts that Guts will eventually get to bang Casca; also about Griffith turning into "some kind of freaky lipstick monster" (which really happens in the actual series). The diet pills mentioned off-hand also come in relevant towards the end. Not to mention all the references to the Eclipse. An unintentional one is during Episode 13, where some mooks call out their commander for thinking of raping Casca, saying that rape is never funny. This is one of the reasons why HBI 2 K chose to do a happy ending for the series. Zodd gets a legitimately terrifying one near the end of the Abridged Movie episode, when he learns that Griffith has the Crimson Behelit. |

Misery Poker: After Casca tells Guts her backstory (her parents sold her to a nobleman who almost raped her, but Griffith saved her), Guts responds that his backstory was almost the same, but worse (his stepfather sold him when he was eight and no one saved him, on top of being a Child Soldier). However, Guts avoids blaming Casca, and instead blames the author. |

After Adon gets some of his teeth knocked out, Guts says his lisping reminds him of Daffy Duck. Captain Exposition describes the ending of Cowboy Bebop at the end of his rambling monologue. Gennon likes listening to Yoko Kanno. At one point, his conversation with Boscogn is drowned out by "Dance of Curse". |

Did I Just Say That Out Loud? |
| | Berserk Abridged (Web Video) / int_db212ca9 |
comment |
Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: "Note to self. When there's an echo in my voice, it means I'm thinking. Otherwise, I'm talking." The same joke is inverted with the Governor, who says the same thing that Griffith had about Guts ("I must have him!") in regards to Griffith. When General Boscogn asks if he means in his army, the Governor snaps, "No, I must have him naked and chained to the foot of my bed! Do I have to draw you a freaking picture?" |

Running Gag |
| | Berserk Abridged (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 |
comment |
Running Gag: Griffith's not so veiled attempts at getting Guts into bed. Also - Band of the Hawk? More like Band of the Whore. ...okay, that was bad. But if someone has a name and they're in the Hawks, they are a prostitute or they were at some point. There's Corkus' belief that Jello Shots and Barry White always works with girls. This one also appeared in Gantz Abridged. And Puck is perpetually used as the standard for irritating things. One villain named Puck as the Jar-Jar of Berserk. hbi2k later commented that Puck is worse than Jar-Jar, because as bad as Jar-Jar was, he only ruined one movie out of three. |

Brick Joke: One that went cross series in Gantz Abridged. Skull Knight actually does show up to help Kurono in the filler chronicles. Griffith asks Guts if he thinks Griffith is like a Nietzschen superman in one episode. Guts thinks that Griffith is a necromancer. Several episodes later, when Griffith returns from Faking the Dead, the people he's trying to kill thinks he's a necromancer who raised himself from the dead. |
