Idea of Evil

The Idea of Evil is a fictional concept from the manga and anime "Berserk," representing the collective subconscious of all humanity’s despair, suffering, and malice. It is depicted as a malevolent force that seeks to justify human existence by creating the supernatural "Eternal Night" and forcing humans to endure pain, thus giving meaning to their struggles. Essentially, it’s a symbolic embodiment of human darkness—our innate capacity for cruelty and despair—believed to influence destiny while also reflecting the complex nature of human nature itself.
