So I looked through the posts in this section and didn't see this topic, but if it goes on somewhere else, please let me know.
What's the story with Guts's parents? We've gotten everything in his actual life, but I wonder if there is any significance in how his mother ended up on that tree. Admittedly, there's nothing that has happened in the story that hints that this matters at all; he was born from a corpse, end (beginning) of story. And I'd be ok with that, and no one else in the story is wondering either. But those ears...was there some elf involvement in his conception? Even if not, I feel like there is some unrevealed connection between Guts and the elves.
And what about the Griffith back-story? He was a poor commoner who met a gypsy fortune-teller. What are the chances we get more? What were the events that shaped his desire for his own kingdom?
If we get both or either, it won't happen until near the end of the series.
