SaiyajinNoOuji-Cards are in the mail! said:I don't think Griffith/Femto knew that Casca was already pregnant with Guts child and thus put his demon seed into her. Like the poster above you stated, He (Femto) raped her in front of Guts because he knew that they had feelings for each other and knew that emotional damage would hurt more.
That may have been Femto's rationale, which urged him to sew the thread of causality... Do you see my point? He doesn't need to know that Casca is pregnant and that raping her will provide a vessel for his return. It is something he's been programmed to, which in turn facilitates a later event.

From what we know of causality in the Berserk universe, it seems a bit unlikely. Also, the Demon Child is Griffith's vessel. The Beherit apostle was the incubator for the reincarnated Griffith.
