The Iconic Manga, Berserk Takes on a New Form with the Guts' Rage Skate Deck
Don't back down from a fight, or the pipes!
MILWAUKIE, Ore., (January 22, 2025)— Dark Horse proudly presents the Berserk Skate Deck Guts' Rage in both a standard and foil print variant. Available via pre-order exclusively through Dark Horse Direct, these decks are inspired by a single page panel from volume 7 by the legendary Kentarō Miura. These skate decks bring Guts to life as he leads the Hawks and charges headfirst into the final clash at the Battle of Doldrey, a century-long struggle. The standard version offers a sharp red background, while the foil variant provides a crimson red metallic foil finish. The iconic Brand of Sacrifice can be found in black at the top and Berserk is in bold white lettering across the middle.
Each skate deck is made of seven piles of 100% American Maple, also known as Canadian Maple, and features artwork on the underside and natural wood on the topside. The artwork is full-color, heat-transfer printed, while the deck itself is a steep concave shape measuring 31.87” (81 cm) in length and 8.25” (21 cm) in width. Whether you choose to mount this on a wall alongside your Berserk manga collection or you plan to take this for a ride, this skate deck is built for those who refuse to retreat. Each deck retails for $100.00 and is expected to ship between March – April 2026.
