It was clear from the start that the Elden Ring was full of Berserk references. Both that the Elden Tree itself is inspired by Berserk's World Spiral Tree and that you get a great sword that looks almost identical to Guts'.

The new Shadow of the Eld Tree DLC for the Elden Ring is also clearly relevant, comparing Michaela to Griffith and the furnace golem to the Celtic Wicker Man. However, as if this were not enough, fans have added further references to other comics.

Modder McKenyu has created a Gojo and Sukuna moveset mod that allows you to become a rather fearsome jiu-jitsu practitioner, introducing a series of animations that, according to McKenyu, are "inspired by the characters Gojo and Sukuna from Jiu-Jitsu Kaisen. This is done by two weapons. The cursed finger martial arts moveset, which summons a spear, and the six-eyed martial arts moveset, which focuses on kicking. It can be purchased at the Twin Maiden Husk. The weapon also allows the use of seven spells such as Reversal Red, Lapse Blue, Hollow Purple, and Divine Flame, as well as the domain extension Malevolent Shrine.

Therefore, the benefits of reverse spells that heal you and the destructive Hollow Purple, which can basically take out most enemies with a single blow, will be a great help to struggling players.

These abilities require a weapon to use, but it would be very cool to see them alongside one of the DLC's best new weapons, the Dry Leaf Arts. This is basically a martial arts moveset that turns any weapon into a quick punch or kick. It's a fresh, new approach that definitely rewards an aggressive and agile style. Honestly, it's so cool that if you only try one new weapon, it has to be this one. [When I first saw Dry Leaf Arts, my brain immediately pinged on Jiu-Jitsu Kaiten. This is because in manga and anime series, sorcerers fight curses with a variety of techniques, which usually boil down to hard-hitting punches. This clever fighting style and the mod that actually transforms him into Gojo Satoru may be enough to convince me to trade in my Marikes Black Blade build.

It seems like an ideal way to play Elden Ring and its DLC, but if you don't already have the Dryleaf Arts, there is a handy mod that unlocks it for you.
