Rumors stir throughout the land: when the wielder of the black sword draws his dark blade, all who stand in its path are torn asunder…! Köinzell, the mysterious young boy who carries the black sword, undeniably wields it with exceptional skill, but can he truly be responsible for the bloody rumors? Pursued by the Traitorous Lances, four powerful warriors who were thought to have been defeated by the Seven Heroes, the strength of the young swordsman will be tested to its limit. At battle’s end, only the shocking truth of Köinzell’s quest will stand above the corpses of his enemies… An epic fantasy on the grandest of scales!
The verdict
Worst of the seasonSkipWinter 2025An early-2000s grimdark Berserk imitation whose Amazon Prime adaptation cut the prologue and worst scenes yet still forces an orphan girl into lingerie, and makes its over-the-top violence look very silly. It blasts through around 30 chapters in six episodes with German names, so you have to read the manga to follow it. The airships, ruins and layered characters had promise, but of all Berserk adaptations it copied Berserk 2016: two waste baskets of blood and razor blades.
