While JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is certainly one of the stranger anime franchises today, it is far from as dark as the story of Berserk, though one fan has decided to imagine what the Black Swordsman created by Kentaro Miura would look like if he were dropped into the world of Hirohiko Araki and the Joestars. While Berserk returning to the world of anime is unknown at this point, the story of the Joestars is set to return this fall with the comeback of the Stone Ocean on Netflix, giving us new episodes focusing on the journey of the daughter of Jotaro, Jolyne Cujoh.
Unfortunately for fans of Berserk, the creator of the franchise, Kentaro Miura, passed, leaving his epic manga series unfinished. At present, the publishers of the series, Young Animal, have yet to reveal whether the series will continue under the assistants to Miura, who helped the mangaka in producing the story of the Band of the Hawk for years. While a new anime adaptation has yet to be confirmed for the story of Berserk, we definitely wouldn’t be surprised if we one day see Guts and company someday return to the small, and/or silver, screen thanks to the popularity of the dark fable.
Fan Artist Ark Nemesis shares this inspired crossover, imagining what Guts would look like if he were drawn by Hirohiko Araki and joining the Joestars on their various adventures, though the Black Swordsman is not pictured with a Stand, though is still holding onto his trusty Dragon Slayer which has been one of the most recognizable swords in the medium of anime:

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’s anime is set to make a comeback this fall, but the franchise from the mind of Hirohiko Araki is continuing to release a wild number of new stories in the manga. Currently, there are two ongoing spin-off series in the forms of Crazy Diamond’s Demonic Heartbreak and Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan that are focusing on two residents of the sleepy town of Morioh in Josuke Higashikata and Kishibe Rohan. With other stories featuring the likes of Lisa Lisa and Iggy arriving earlier this year, the world of the Joestars is only getting bigger.
