Griffith
With the streak of a tear, Like morning dew
Some thought Berserk would never end, some say it never will, but all journeys end one way or another, and in many ways Guts' and his friend's journeys had already reached satisfactory ends, whatever else may have come...
Rickert traveled to Falconia for refuge, like most of humanity, but righteously rejected Griffith, pointing out he was no longer the man who was his leader. He and Erica escape Falconia safely with the help Daiba, Silat and the Tapasa.
Puck is at home in every way.
Isidro is achieving his dream of becoming a legendary warrior and fulfilling his destiny by insisting on training with Casca after finally seeing her fight, even if he's still a, albeit quite formidable, monkey.
Serpico has made peace with Lady Farnese's growth and independence from him, which has forced him to find his own. He has opened himself emotionally to his new friends and is thankful for how they've changed him and his sister for the better.
Farnese has come into her own as a confident apprentice witch, caregiver and friend to Casca, whom she treats like a sister and was instrumental in restoring. She has come a long way to make herself a self-realized and truly noble person.
Schierke has found a new family in Guts and her friends, and moreover an end to their journey in a community where she truly belongs, yet her mistress' departure from there still gives her doubt that she's truly home.
Skull Knight successfully guided Guts on his mission to save Casca, and finally revealed his own past succumbing to a previous generation of God Hand and losing his heretofore unknown lover, whom resembles Danan. She has come to reunite with him at his love's gravestone, and the last we see of them is together.
Griffith got his kingdom, but at the cost of his humanity. Protecting Falconia's borders with Zodd, his top Apostles and a growing army, he espouses a virtuous vision to care for all people while pursuing a prosperous second empire, but he is also behind the threat to humankind and his sinister ambitions, as well the machinations of Void and his fellow God Hand to manipulate the events of human history, know no end. Last we see him, in bed next to the Queen, he disappears mysteriously into the moonlight.
Casca has had her heart and mind restored through the help of her and Guts' new comrades, whom she's immediately grown fond of. She has returned to form a formidable fighter and charismatic personality. She still loves Guts but is recovering from her painful ordeal and unable to bear seeing him for now, though she commends him for his choice of friends and apparent growth. They are giving each other space before their inevitable reconciliation when she can heal her pain once and for all. Perhaps if her family is made whole...
Guts has persevered, survived it all and finds himself in surprisingly peaceful surroundings. He's accomplished his mission of saving Casca and seeing her restored to her former self, after a fantastical final battle in a dreamscape between a beastly representation of himself and the king of the monsters, a falcon of darkness. Now thoughts of revenge, which he put aside for her, linger only faintly. He is bored on the peaceful island where all he can do now is practice swinging his sword. In the final scene of Berserk he is reunited, unbeknownst to him, with the human form of his son.
The Moonlight Boy, Casca's and Guts' child, and Griffith's vessel, has a chance to heal his family this night, and eventually the world...
