I already posted this idea on a youtube video about Skull Knight today, but since I remembered that I have an account here I've never used I thought I would share it with a more devoted section of the Berserk community.
In chapter 142 during the conviction arc, SK mentions the "festival" where "one who should exist in the divine domain is incarnated. Just once in a thousand years." This would line up fairly well with the events of the "Angels" they speak of 1000 years ago when they're rescuing Griffith. When the events of Femto's incarnation are coming close to fruition, Farnese mistakes the chaos as an earthquake (161); and when Guts encounters the shadows of the god hand, he remarks them as "four angels" (chapter 164)
I'm not sure if there's that much to gleam from this, it could be totally coincidental but I thought it was interesting to mention. It's possible that these events with Gaiseric 1000 years ago was the incarnation of a former member of the God Hand. SK also notes that the God Hand exist where "Negative human thoughts swirl in a large concentration." and when this concentration reaches a critical point is where this "festival" occurs (142). It would line up with these events from 1000 years ago, especially with the way Gaiseric treated his citizens it's highly likely they would have amassed a deep hatred of Gaiseric and his kingdom, leading to this critical point where a member of the God Hand is incarnated. It's possible this incarnated God Hand was killed by SK, maybe proving to him that changing the tide of causality is a difficult if not impossible task if killing an incarnated member of the God Hand seemed to change nothing. It's all speculation of course, but I thought it was worth noting.
Sorry if this is nothing new, I haven't seen any mention of it myself but I have to admit I haven't spent much time browsing through speculation and theories for Berserk.
