CatBrains said:As many people have commented, Guts strikes quite the ominous image in full armor and armaments (obviously played up by Miura as well). I wouldn't be surprised to see a scene where Guts removes all of this before approaching Casca again. It could be quite powerful, seeing the Black Swordsman strip away the elements of his darkness, piece by piece. It would work in a metaphorical sense as well. Guts needs to make himself literally vulnerable in order to regain the intimacy he once had with Casca.
Indeed, I like that idea! It could even mark a sort of symbolic "end" to his quest for revenge (even though it effectively stopped long ago), a reverse of when he geared up and headed out (leaving Casca behind) in episode 93 and 94.
