Ok I recently read through Berserk again but this time I decided to make a little list estimating how many normal grown men would die during Guts adventures whenever he gets decently hurt.
Now before anyone starts talking about how inaccurate this is I'll say now that I dont think these are close to accurate, just a little estimation for people to ponder on.
Now first up;
Guts torcher in the first chapter of the first volume, seeing it went to the point that even he could bearly move afterwards until puck healed him at least 3 people were killed during that, seeing we cant see the details of the whole thing I will estimate 3.
The snake baron knocking him around 4 or 5 times, the apostle himself admits that a normal man would have had his insides crushed after first impact then the fact that he pushes his body shortly afterwards in order to kill him with one swing, now putting ones damaged body under that much stress when it is so hurt can make things alot worse, so ill put down 4.
When sprits first attack him in chapter 2, he probably wasnt too hurt from them but he opens old wounds which is never good, so with his wounds ill say 1
Wounds from dead Colette and other undead soldiers, already in bad condition: 2.
Zondark bothering Guts as a demon on two occasions: 2
all the times he was slammed into walls by the count....and the severe neck injury he probably got from holding the dragon slayer in his mouth: 6
From brand pain and slammed into cement post by femto: 2
Onto when Guts first gets real injuries as a child when he kills Gambino and falls down the cliff with a arrow inside of him: 4
When he first stabbed right near the heart by Griffith: 2
Second fight with Griffith: 1
Smacked around by Nosferatu Zodd: 3
Tries to save Caska, gets shot with a arrow then falls into the river: 1
Hundred men slaying: 4
Bitchslapped around the woods by wild: 6
The eclipse: many deaths for losing a arm, eye, reopening old wounds, getting a heap of new ones, bitchslapped by apostles for ages and smacking his tailbone along the cliff for ages as he roles down... 7
Venom from Roshinu and falling off a cliff will Jill on top: 2
Damage by numerious bugs protecting the children in Misty valley including the 2 big ex knight ones: 3
Fight with Roshinu, undoubtably one of the most interesting. Being burned, bitten, slammed around very fast, long arse spike directly through his arm and mouth (with alot of moving around afterwards), falling from a fair hight...twice: 7
Knights of the holy iron chains, making him reopen old wounds, slight sword wound by Farneze, also Whipped heavily resulting in blood loss: 2
A little injured and opens a few old wounds while fighting possesed wild dogs: 1
Adequately banged up from fighting Mozgus's men: 3
Punched heaps by Mozgus: 4
Second fight with Zodd, I think he got off lucky: 1
Fighting with Trolls (and Ogre) in both Inoku village and Qliphoth... he didnt get much injuries in either situation: 1
Slan fucked him up good, it seems like the wound almost cuts him in half and they are meant to be way worse because they are Ethereal making them worse: 6
Fighting Grunbeld fucked up before putting the armor on: 4
The Berserker armor first put on.. jeez did he get really fucked up! Not including the damage he already had at first: 5
These are all the major ones I could think of, by my count I see around 87. There were plenty outside of the ones mentioned of the other apostles he no doubt had fights with, and the battles he was in when he was younger that are not shown so probably more then one hundred.
