The deck draws on Berserk#

The cards have custom artwork and suits inspired by Berserk, according to Essential Japan and AnimeMojo.com. AnimeMojo.com notes that Dark Horse's announcement did not identify the individual cards or give names for the suits.

Tarot cards have been used for games and divination, according to Wikipedia. In the Tarot de Marseille tradition, a deck includes major and minor arcana, or groups of cards, as well as suits such as cups and swords. Dark Horse has not specified whether its Berserk suits follow those names.

The clamshell case holds the book and deck together, AnimeMojo.com reports. Its product details list the package at 178 pages and roughly 5 1/8 inches by 7 1/4 inches. Jason DeAngelis is credited as translator and Dan Nakrosis as letterer.

Umino's cover returns to Guts#

The included volume returns to the beginning of Guts' story, Essential Japan reports. Miura's manga began serialization in 1989 and follows the mercenary swordsman and his ties to Griffith, leader of the Band of the Hawk.

Umino created Honey and Clover and March Comes in Like a Lion, both of which received anime adaptations, according to Essential Japan. The outlet says Umino and Miura exchanged cover illustrations for their manga while their work appeared in Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine.

Essential Japan reports that Berserk resumed after Miura's death in 2021, with Kouji Mori supervising and Studio Gaga producing the artwork. AnimeMojo.com says the English edition of Volume 43 is due on November 24, 2026, followed by the tarot box set on May 4, 2027.
