I am also new here, so if I piss anyone off or do something Im not aware of let me apologize in advance.
I have had many discussions recently with my friends about the history recap of Serpico and Farneze. Maybe its me, but for about a third of a volume, Miura leaves Guts and Griffith and the main storyline completely alone. He goes in a recap about Farneze and Serpico, in which it is quite clear that Farneze is to represent Griffith, and Serpico is to represent Guts ("you are mine" phrase).
The main point is that it Farneze is clearly a noble, given noble treatment by the elders, and even when she makes mistakes she is granted things because she is noble. And Serpico, while he is technically in the same blood line, is not given the same, just merely tagged along, and not given the same recognition.
I read that volume and thought that Guts was somehow technically on the same level as Griffith (bloodline --> fated to have incredible power) but somehow was not given the recognition as God Hand like Griffith, but is merely being tagged along...Guts being the Bastard sone of Fate.
I am not to sure if thats even plausible, but I just felt that Farneze and Serpico's story held some sort of large significance, even if mine is wrong.
