Well... wasn't the Bakiraka sent to kill Griffith from the beginning? By the king of Midland?
5 Bakiraka were, but that's just a part of the whole clan.

I suppose Silat can’t get past the fact that this guy he was supposed to kill/capture for years continues to elude and humiliate him.
I mentioned the killing because originally the Bakiraka were sent to assassinate Griffith (without Silat, yes, but it was the clan he leads). Anyway, why would Silat still need Griffith for his clan? If Silat’s problem is the Kushan then he and Griffith share a common enemy. Silat just watched Griffith and his men take out a legion of Kushan troops like it was nothing, he’s being quite foolish in not offering to join him. He may not be able to see past Griffith as simply his target, I think it’s a matter of pride to him now. Otherwise, shouldn’t he have joined Griffith?Like I said, I don't think Sirat was ever supposed to kill Griffith...
I think he needs Griffith for the sake of his clan.

WHY THE FUCK DOES SILAT NEED TO CAPTURE GRIFFITH FOR THE KUSHAN’S TO HELP HIS CLAN
How will Silat get the power to get his lands back by capturing Griffith? Wouldn’t Silat have a better chance by trying to join Griffith, getting their lands in return for the Bakiraka’s service? The idea of capturing Griffith seems pretty futile.Power, I guess? And lands, in Sirat's case?
The idea of capturing Griffith seems pretty futile.
That was my thinking when I said Silat might be too proud to join Griffith. He’d be joining someone he intended to capture, a target of the Bakiraka, I think he might view that as a kind admission of total weakness. Even slaves can be very proud people.They look like proud warriors, Sirat seems to be their leader, there's some kind of "tradition" in their clan... Oh, well? :-/
I think they wanted to get him because they thought something similar to the events of 184, 185 and 186 would happen if they didn’t.But the Kushan also wanted to capture him... Why?
I think they wanted to get him because they thought something exactly similar to the events 184, 185 and 186 would happen if they didn’t.
[...] I guess that would explain Sirat's words at the end of volume 21...
Funny, that’s almost EXACTLY SIMILAR to my example of silly grammar arguments earlier in this thread!! I haven’t slept in about 36 hours and I’m a bit punchy, I was either trying to say “…exactly like the events of…” or “…similar to the events of…” but I combined them instead. Anyhoo, it’s fixed now so let’s move on."Exactly similar"? :-/

I’m standing by my theory that Silat didn’t join Griffith as a matter of Bakiraka pride.
Mostly because I’m too tired to think of anything better based on the new (and much appreciated by the way) information you just brought to light.
