Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Also may have been the inspiration for Guts fron Berserk!

Despite the similarities between Guts and the real historical German figure known as Götz von Berlichingen, Kentarou Miura stated in an interview released together with Media Blasters' first anime series US release in 2002 this resemblance was only a "strange coincidence", having only heard of it when he had already started Berserk. He also added that he was not thinking of anybody at the time he created Guts. In the same interview, Miura stated that Guts was based on actor Rutger Hauer in terms of looks after having enjoying Hauer's roles in "Flesh+Blood" and "The Salute of the Jugger".
