After his ascension as Femto he defeated the Kushan Empire and established the Kingdom of Falconia, a haven set under the World Tree and seen as a near perfect society. He displays both feminine and masculine traits and is regarded as having an otherworldly beauty to him, making him be heavily desired by women and greatly respected and envied by men. He is adorned in white, shining armor and is held up in reverence as the epitome of a brave, honorable knight. He is the calm, calculating, and respected commander of the Band of the Hawk who cares for his men deeply and was able to achieve victory after victory in the Hundred Years War, like an angel of death that rides across the battlefield. During his introduction in the manga and even well beyond the Golden Age Arc he is treated with as much reverence and respect as Jesus Christ and is widely lauded and worshipped among his supporters and the common folk. Griffith on the other hand is treated almost the complete opposite. The moment he dons the Berserker Armor Guts becomes even more rabid and deadly in battle, devolving into little more than a beast and slaughtering any creature in his path, to the extent that even other demons consider him a monster.
Many different panels of him in the manga display him as covered in blood and gore and surrounded by malevolent spirits. Even his design is heavily demonic in nature, wearing almost all black attire and fitted with enough weaponry to eviscerate entire armies. Guts even goes out of his way to openly mock the weak and shows no hesitation or remorse whenever an innocent life is lost, only interested in taking revenge and hunting down apostles. He fights with an almost fervent desire to cause as much suffering as possible against demons that sometimes even beg for mercy, and he spares none of his enemies regardless if they are parents or children. He shows no mercy when he fights demonic beings, at times even experiencing pleasure at causing as much pain as possible to his adversaries. He is the protagonist of Berserk yet in the early portions of the manga Guts is almost borderline a villain.
Look at how Guts is portrayed in the manga both visually and emotionally.
