Though I have heard insistence otherwise on these forums, I am thinking that the Beherit that is traveling along with Guts right now will end up with Farnese. I will keep this short and simple, and hopefully I won't get completely pwned by the admins of this interesting forum. Please note that I have read quite a bit of the forum, and have even read a few posts on this topic, but have not read anything that specifically addresses these points. If there is any repetition, I apologize in advance!
To my point:
She has a very twisted past. Although she is changing, she is changing due to Guts' influence. (I can't pretend that the others do not have influence, but I do believe he is the biggest contributor.) There are a few slides that indicate she has a lot of affection for guts, to the point where she withdrew from the astral realm because she could not handle hearing more about his relationship with Caska. She even kind of flipped out on Caska for her lack of sanity/responsiveness with people, particularly Guts. She just doesn't understand why he cares for her so much.
I am wondering if/when Caska is brought back to some level of sanity, and things begin to normalize for her, if this would somehow push her over the edge. Could watching Guts and Caska bridge the gaps in the current state of their relationship provoke a jealous response?
Jealousy can be an ugly thing. Especially when you don't understand the connections involved. In my own life, i saw a friend of mine go COMPLETELY NUTS when I started dating her best friend. This stuff happens, and is very human. Miura frequently touches on both the best and worst of human nature in this Manga, and I can't help but wonder if he will take things in this direction.
She even has a perfect sacrifice! Serpico would be a likely candidate given their history and connection.
Obviously, there is still no evidence that the beherit will even be used by anyone in the group, but I am a fan of the theory that it is hitching a ride on guts till it gets to the next person it is destined for. The other objection I have is she may end up getting to know Roderick better and decide he is a better fit. Not totally sure his motivations are all that great(the arranged marriage), though he seems to be decent enough as a person so far.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Great forum. I have been lurking for a few months, and Just finished my second read of the Manga. I am having to go through it again because I keep staying up late reading it and find myself too tired to catch some of the smaller, yet important details. This is also my first manga ever, so it has been fun to explore a new artistic medium. I have even started sketching since I picked up reading Manga. First time in years!
OK... discuss!
