NeoBerserker said:Maybe it is not as deep as you think, maybe it is or maybe it is a ghost of no one important and it might later show that their have been alot of hangings in this city and that thing is just a wandering soul...or an apostle why does it remind me of Rakshas in his true form? But then again that sounds unlikely.
Jon the Madman said:Majin got me thinking (even though its probably wrong), maybe its Guts mother. It makes sense, the cord is the rope from the tree.
xechnao said:A question guys because ignorance got me on this one:
What is astral projection and why do you need a cord to deal with it?

You can see many instances of this cord when Schierke is projecting herself into Guts' mind, in chapters 228-229 approximately.
One thing I notice is that the figure in chapter 244 seems... I don't know, weak? Like it has a weak grip on the physical world, at best. *shrugs*

It's some strange kind of paedophilic fishing, mayhap?
