## His Qualities

### What Makes Him Entertaining?

* His deep three-dimensional complex characterization has been compelling to fans for decades. To briefly summarize, he is a fallen hero who is defined by his philosophy of realizing one's dream, with this very commitment to his dream being what turned him evil as time went on that were initially based on his dread over the horrors of his past involving countless deaths, only to be set in motion in becoming the very thing he was traumatized by.
* He has cool aesthetics that stand out in the public, being his human force that has long white hair and blue eyes. His God Hand form is supposed to look neat too.
* His skills with his fighting style are neat and his powers are unique.
* He poses as a messiah role model figure that so many in the world of *Berserk* look up to. He made a public show out of defeating Ganishka to appear as a savior.
* He is a brilliant strategic genius who has showed his wits both on the battlefield and in politics. Back when he was just a mercenary leader, he made a name for himself in the kingdom of Midland by winning several important battles. After he became Femto, he was able to manipulate the people of Midland into seeing him as a messiah figure, knowing how to make good pragmatic moves as the ruler of Falconia.
* He is a charismatic charmer to the public and women.

### What Makes Him Detestable?

* While he is not a hate sink like other villains in the series, he has made himself arguably the most hated character due to his infamous treachery.
* He is a mass murderous traitor to not only his mercenary army but most if not all humanity for the sacrifices he makes in his maddening selfish ambition.
* His loss to Guts leaving the Band of the Hawk made him beyond petty to where he becomes anything but the great amazing figure the public perceives him as.
* He is a unrepenting manipulative spiteful rapist to the women that not only loved and cared for him but idolized him like how someone would be in awe of a god, namely Casca.
* His taunts on Guts going for the kill on him are frustrating to watch in support of Guts' rightful anger on him, by being the guy who has made his life far more ruined than he already was.
* Being idolized by the public does not make him less hateable as many people don't know his true character.
* Kidnapped Casca at Elfheim by taunting Guts and destroying the tree, sending Guts into despair.
