Obviously for a place adressed at skullknight.net, there's not going to be a lot of empathy for the God Hand, and especially not for Griffith. With the charisma of Guts, and the amazing feats he accomplishes, its hard to say anything against him. But what Im suggesting here is exactly that. I love Guts just as much as the next guy, but I personally think Griffith made the right choice at the first eclipse.
Being so driven, being so focused on one dream, and being better than any man at everything (aside from Guts at fighting), this man put his entire life into working for his dream. And not just hard work either, what he did was unparalleled by any other person at the time period (as we know). I think when he sacraficed the Band of the Hawk at the eclipse, he was getting what he had worked so hard for.
Granted, he's the one that messed around with Charlotte, messing up the dream he had built so far, but I dont see that mistake worthy of completely tearing down his ambitions and his dreams. Not only was his dream pure, but a modern idea in a time that was hardly that. ("not even a king should be able to live as he pleases")
People grow to hate Griffith/Femto because they loved Guts and the Band of the Hawk so much that they hated to see them die the way they did. But the truth of the matter is, aside from Guts, all of them would have died in battle for Griffith to get his dream. Just beacuse they didnt die the death they wanted, doesnt change this fact.
I am intrigued by Femto and Griffith, and I want to see how many people would agree or disagree with me that Griffith wasnt wrong in becoming a member of the God Hand. I know if I was in Griffith position I would have done the same thing.
