Maybe it's just me, but I feel like that is the most powerful statement in the entire series.

NightCrawler said:Yeah, that really caught my attention, not a wimpy slap at all.

Griffith said:Well, figuratively it still burns as bad as this one:

Griffith said:This does all beg the question where Rickert goes from here. Uneasily coexist in Griffith's city? Obviously they don't ever need to personally see each other again, but just knowing the other is there after this seems pretty untenable. A mutual parting might be best for all involved. Though, unless Rickert is going to seek out Guts where else has he got to go? Very interesting either way.
Devilwoman said:I wonder if Rickert started crying after slapping Griffith.
Devilwoman said:I wonder if Rickert started crying after slapping Griffith.
Devilwoman said:Still it was noble of Griffith to stop Locus from intervening, like it's no big deal.
Devilwoman said:I'm curious about what Rickert is going to do after this, and whether he'll stay in Falconia.
Aazealh said:Yep, now is when he gets to worry about Erica's safety and the potential consequences of his actions.

Tama said:I'm not really sure what will come of this, I don't see Griffith sending some assassination attempt after him or anything of the sort, I think that would be too silly, and to me I don't think he cares enough either way on Rickert's position.
Devilwoman said:I think this is the first time Griffith got rejected after he was reborn
Devilwoman said:I don't see Griffith sending assassins after him because he got rejected.
Sure the apostles can have their own saying on the matter, without Griffith being involved. Dunno about Locus but if Zodd was there he would have shred Rickert to pieces xD They could always go on their own way and attack him, at night, when he's least likely to be prepared.So maybe Falconia isn't safe for him after this. We'll see how things go.Griffith said:I wonder if reaction to the insult among Griffith's sworn protectors like Locus (and Zodd) might make things uncomfortable anyway... I wouldn't want them pissed at me, and even if Griffith isn't issuing an order, you still might not be safe (not caring can go both ways).
Griffith said:I think the most interesting aspect on this front is not so much whether Griffith cares or not (I'm sure he does), but that Rickert can do this at all, physically and mentally. I mean, people and apostles alike are physically compelled to follow and obey Griffith. Mule practically offered his sword involuntarily, and the best Ganishka could do was not let Griffith touch him (all according to plan, of course). That he even has the capacity to resist sets Rickert apart, like others outside the "fairy tale."
Devilwoman said:Dunno about Locus but if Zodd was there he would have shred Rickert to pieces
Devilwoman said:it changes everything I was envisioning for Rickert. Guts said to him that he can't hate Griffith, since he wasn't there at the eclipse. So there was a possibility for Rickert to join Griffith.
Jaze1618 said:I also wonder if down the line this will be called out as another effect of Guts' influence in the world as a fish splashing in a water, and not just part of a reflection on the water's surface like everyone else.
Jaze1618 said:Guts ability to resist Griffith's charm may become a contagious pathogen.

Aazealh said:I am not so sure. Locus strikes me as quite fervent, even compared to Zodd. Actually, it would have been all the more interesting if Zodd had been there because he knows Rickert.
Eh, did you really think Rickert would end up joining Griffith's ranks, just like old times?
Devilwoman said:So maybe Falconia isn't safe for him after this.
Pheron said:Regardless of why he let the slap happen, do you think this will have any consequences for Griffith? He showed weakness in front of his underlings after all.
Devilwoman said:Maybe not join the new band literally, but be more involved in what happens in Falconia and maybe be one of the supporters of his politics.
Devilwoman said:It looks like it's not gonna happen though, because Rickert seems to be immune to Griffith's aura, in the way that he doesn't think that he's a savior or something like that like the others do. He still remembers him as the man he used to, and his way of dealing with Griffith is most likely based on that.
Skeleton said:Wow! This episode is great! That last shot of Rickert walking away is fantastic.
Skeleton said:And I think it's safe to say everyone saw the fight of the century.
Jaze1618 said:The burning question now however; What was the deal about Griffith being able to control plants? I didn't see any context for that in this episode. I'm curious to know what that reference was all about.

Griffith said:Like, this isn't necessarily over. Griffith's public persona said stop, but will his inner Femto be so benign about being physically rebuked like that in front of everybody (no one important, just the heads of church and state)? That's a crack in the armor, and he'll surely be questioned about how and why that could happen.
Griffith said:I can see Sonia having the biggest takeaway. She's more of a Griffith zealot than Locus (U MAD BRO?), and she'll certainly want to know, from Rickert himself if necessary (and what would she think?).
