Aazealh said:Femto's not very emotional as he rapes Casca either. But despite his coldness, even when they meet during the Black Swordsman arc Femto takes obvious pleasure in putting Guts down.
He corrupted the embryo, but technically the boy had already been "created".
I'm going to go ahead and say the first version is the correct one. It seems pretty obvious that the rape of Casca was intended as a way to hurt Guts.
There is no way to know. Nowhere is it said that Guts and Casca's son was the only possible vessel.
The boy didn't "contain" Femto's "seed". It had been corrupted before birth by his evil. That's all.
It will most likely be his undoing.
Don't be mistaken though, the occasions where the boy manifested himself from within Griffith limit themselves to the Hill of Swords, at least as far as we know. And he came forth because his parents were concerned. There are also many occasions in the story when the "new" Griffith acted nicely simply because it suited his plans, playing the role of the savior and all that.
Yes sorry I understand the baby was corrupted, I just thought maybe Femto's seed mixed with the fetus in some way, and so contains a part of Femto, so it would be Femto's, Gut's and Casca's child. I know thats a bit gross and i'm probably taking it the wrong way, but that's why the vessel would be suitable because it is part Femto anyway.
And the only time it could have been created is in the circumstance of the eclipse where the humans are drawn into the God hand dimension.
Perhaps Guts son being caught up in the process of Griffiths incarnation was not part of the plan though? so it is a spanner in the works that has corrupted the incarnated Griffith? it's like the unforeseen factor that will cause his downfall and wasn't predicted to happen?
