Did someone actually try to argue that the first anime episode was yet to happend in the manga?
Damaramu said:How could I possibly take offense? My comments are only ridiculous, embarrassing, without good understanding, etc etc etc.
Damaramu said:Hence, one of the first things Griffith did after getting body back, was check to see if he still had his "Guts weakness". When he concluded that it was cured, then in my opinion, he resumed being the character he was in the Midland era
Damaramu said:Whether Griffith is 100% responsible for his success, or as you say, some "Idea of Evil" is helping out, is immaterial.
Damaramu said:And even if Ganishka is not in on the plan as an accomplice, then I'm just about convinced that he's still having his strings pulled by Griffith unknowingly somehow.
Damaramu said:I don't see the conflict being too long for one main reason - Guts is not there - and Berserk is, all in all, the story of Guts. It would seem like a huge tangent to me for there to be a volume spanning Griffith battle with Guts being completely abscent.
Damaramu said:Walter made a point with the armor (even though I'm personally hoping for the white in his hair to be fixed in Elfhelm), so I'll drop it. I'm curious though, what other official sources are there other than the manga? Does Miura give interviews which are published somewhere else or something
Kaji-Ryohji said:I can't help but feel like Griffith is physically weak for not being able to sacrifice the most important person for Griffith.... Guts
KazigluBey said:Guts was marked for sacrifice, hence the brand. Causality just didn't have it in mind I suppose, or Guts' will to survive (with a little help from SK) threw causality for a loop. I don't think there was some power meter that failed to be maxed out because Guts and Casca escaped during the eclipse.
Kaji-Ryohji said:I always feel like Griffith's greatest strength is his tactical intelligence.

KazigluBey said:The demon child is the only factor that could have directly weakened Griffith. Griffith's strengths are his strong determination, his charisma which draws people to him, and his skills as a leader/strategist.
mightyg said:Griffith is at least strong enough to cleave off Zodd's horn without much effort. maybe we're taking that for more than it's worth, but I'd say it's at least 10 cents.
Aazealh said:Whether or not it was meant to happen remains debatable, the Idea of Evil's ways are hard to see through (the IoE being the entity manipulating causality).
Aazealh said:Needless to say, you were wrong about Guts and Casca not being sacrificed, as it was pointed out. It's incredible that some people are still mistaken about stuff like this.
Kaji-Ryohji said:I must have misunderstood Slan's speech in the anime
Scorpio said:While it is hard to say, I like to speculate that it was IoE's intent to have Guts and Casca survive. At the very least, the incarnation ceremony for Griffith would have happened quite differently, if at all.
Aazealh said:More like SK saved their asses from certain death. Whether or not it was meant to happen remains debatable, the Idea of Evil's ways are hard to see through (the IoE being the entity manipulating causality).
I think the problem here is you're trying to rationally explain the motivations of A GOD. Besides, clearly not all information is on the table yet, so we can't make a succinct judgement on the motivations of a "character" we've only seen once, in a non-canon episode.Black_Devil said:But Guts/SK could potentially pose a danger to the Godhand at the very least if nothing else, and they are directly carrying out the Idea's will as well as their own desires, so why have the nuisance of those two running around?
Yeah, but I wouldn't call the sword's properties "demonic." I don't think there's an apt word for it yet.We know that the Dslayer has gained demonic properties, the extent we don't know yet, but it's able to dispel 's fog form.
At this point I think the question to be asked is what could the Beast's desperate pursuit of Griffith do to Guts? It's so intent on this suicidal mission that's the basest desire of Guts, the pursuit of which will tear his body apart. That's the real threat, in my opinion.But, what could the beast possibly do to Griffith? In the world of speculation, do you guys think the beast has its' own power?(Seeing as it is conscious of the Berserker armor, and was admittedly using it as a means to exert its' will through Guts, I just don't see how the Beast could have any meaningful impact besides being a wild creature.(That would've almost assuredly died to Grunbeld if that encounter can be used as any measure of the Beast's might).

And what are you talking about Grunbeld being able to kill the beast? Grunbeld got his ass handed to him... Surely I just misinterpreted you.
