Berserk's brand of officially licensed sacrificial reversible bomber jacket is the perfect tribute

Berserk fans can mark their fandom with the licensed Reversible Bomber Jacket, referencing Guts' Sacrifice Brand from the original series.

Dark Horse Comics has translated 41 out of 42 Berserk volumes as of the time of writing. The series' official description reads: “His name is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a fearsome warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a giant sword, an iron hand and the scars of countless battles and torture, his flesh is also indelibly imprinted with The Brand, an evil symbol that attracts the worlds. The forces of darkness came upon him and destroyed him as their sacrifice. But Guts will not accept his fate; anyone else stupid enough to fight him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more annoying than companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloody path that leads only to death…or revenge.”
