Uniqlo Unveils Berserk Fashion Collection: Guts vs. Femto Tees This Winter

Berserk Meets Fashion: Uniqlo's Latest Manga Collaboration

Esteemed clothing brand Uniqlo has once again dipped its toes into the world of manga with a fresh collaboration featuring the dark fantasy series, Berserk, by the late Kentaro Miura. This unique partnership honors the intense rivalry between Guts and Femto, two pivotal characters from the series.

This winter release is a testament to the enduring appeal of Berserk and its gripping narrative that has captivated audiences for decades.

Berserk Graphic Tees: A Stylish Tribute to Guts and Femto

Announced via Berserk’s official social media channels, the Uniqlo collection includes thematic t-shirts that highlight the duality and conflict central to the manga. The collection features two standout designs:

• Guts’ Berserker Armor: Fans will appreciate the white t-shirt that showcases Guts in his infamous Berserker Armor, an emblem of his raw power and unyielding spirit.
• Femto and the God Hand: Contrasting the white tee, the black shirt features a brightly lit image of Femto, alongside the other God Hand members, encapsulating the dark allure of Guts’ formidable nemesis.

Both designs are part of Uniqlo's Manga Curation collection, emphasizing unique storytelling through vivid graphic tees. Shoppers can explore the Uniqlo Japan collection, although overseas buyers will need to consider proxy shipping services as direct international shipping isn’t available.

Availability and Pricing

The Berserk t-shirts will launch in mid-February 2025. Available in a range of sizes from XS to 4XL, each t-shirt is priced at a modest 1,990 yen (approximately $12.87 USD).

This initiative is part of Uniqlo’s broader strategy to bring anime and manga culture to life through fashion, having previously collaborated with popular series such as Dragon Ball, and icons like Hello Kitty.

The Legacy of Berserk

Berserk was both penned and illustrated by Kentaro Miura, with the series currently being continued by Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga following Miura's passing. Known for its complex characters and dark themes, Berserk has enjoyed a devoted following and continual serialization, recently seeing new chapters released after a hiatus.

The series follows the journey of Guts, a wandering mercenary swept into the tumultuous world of the Band of the Hawk after being bested in combat by its enigmatic leader, Griffith. The unfolding saga of power, ambition, and betrayal is a narrative that resonates through the pages of the manga, making its way into global pop culture.

For those interested in experiencing the Berserk narrative firsthand, Dark Horse Comics offers the North American publication of the series. As of the latest updates, translations have reached Volume 41 of the 42 published volumes.

Uniqlo's Commitment to Manga

This latest venture into absolute territories of anime illustrates Uniqlo's continued dedication to bridging the worlds of fashion and storytelling. Collaborations such as these allow fans to wear their passion and embrace characters that have significantly impacted their lives.

Uniqlo’s UT graphic tees are not merely clothing items but memorabilia that celebrate iconic story arcs and character developments from beloved series. As fans don their Berserk tees, they pay homage to a series that has shaped and continues to inspire manga and fantasy worldwide.
